Stahl:
Maribelle, about that favor I asked you earlier...
Maribelle:
Zzzz... Oh, I do declare... My stars and garters... Frankly, my dear Chrom, I don't... Zzzzz...
Stahl:
Um, Maribelle?
Maribelle:
Huh?! Wha—?! Wh-where am I?! ...Is that you, Stahl?
Stahl:
You've been studying too much, Maribelle. You need to take a break. You can't even keep your eyes open anymore.
Maribelle:
Quite frankly, sir, my rest is... *yawn* Oh, pardon me! But I mean to say that it's none of your concern, and I'm quite all right.
Stahl:
It's not all right! I just caught you sleeping on your feet! Are you feeling dizzy? Feverish? Any sudden chills?
Maribelle:
I told you, I'm fine! ...I had a spot of indigestion earlier, but that's all.
Stahl:
Then I insist you try my special tonic. It works wonders on stomach ailments.
Maribelle:
Well, if you insist. Thank you. Th-this should keep me going...for a few more days...
Stahl:
Now, now. You need to sleep properly, too.
Maribelle:
Yes...I know thatsszzzzzzz...
Stahl:
Er. Maribelle? ...Maribelle?

Maribelle:
Ah, Stahl. I wanted to thank you for your concern the other day. That tonic did wonders for my indigestion.
Stahl:
I'm delighted it helped.
Maribelle:
In fact, I was wondering if you might have another dose or two to spare...
Stahl:
Are you planning to stay up all night again? Because if so—
Maribelle:
If you don't want to give me any, say so and stop wasting my time!
Stahl:
Eep! N-no, that's not— Er, here. Have as much as you like.
Maribelle:
*Ahem* Thank you. You are too kind.
Stahl:
I know it's not my concern, but please do take care of yourself, milady.
Maribelle:
...Oh, very well. I suppose you deserve some manner of explanation. For a long time now, my dream has been to join the royal judiciary. A fool's dream it seems, now that I know how much I must read and memorize...
Stahl:
Yeesh! That sounds like a challenge. I envy your courage and dedication. Er, but is there any way I might help make your dream come true?
Maribelle:
I suppose I could think of something. But why on earth would you care?
Stahl:
Because I have no dreams of my own and want to live vicariously through yours? Er, but more seriously, you're my friend! I just want to help if I can.
Maribelle:
Well, I have found myself on the hunt for certain legal documents...
Stahl:
It would be an honor.
Maribelle:
Excellent! And in return for your help, I shall help you discover a dream of your own.
Stahl:
Oh, that's all right. I don't have—
Maribelle:
You shared your tonic, and now you are helping me with my studies. It behooves a woman of my station to return favors promptly.
Stahl:
But...living vicariously!
Maribelle:
You said we are friends, did you not, sir? And what do friends do for each other?
Stahl:
*Sigh* They help each other...

Stahl:
I found the documents you were looking for.
Maribelle:
Well, I'll be! Thank you so very much for the kind assistance. By the by, I've drawn up a list of proposals for YOUR dream.
Stahl:
Oh. I thought perhaps you might have...forgotten.
Maribelle:
Right then! Don't think. Just give me the first answer that comes to mind... Would you rather rise in Chrom's army, or run the family apothecary?
Stahl:
Hmm... Both sound quite enticing, truth be told.
Maribelle:
Come now, sir! A true gentleman must have an opinion about such matters!
Stahl:
Well, I've thought about it a lot. An awful lot, in fact. And I realized we have no idea how this world will turn out after the war. So perhaps I should see what is best for my friends before I decide. I've never been very good at working hard for my own benefit. If I'm not helping someone, I just can't seem to get interested.
Maribelle:
Then there is nothing I can do to assist you.
Stahl:
...Huh. I expected you to tell me to get ahold of myself or something.
Maribelle:
If you hadn't actually bothered to think about it, I would have been livid. But you've already chosen a path. You want to do what's best for those close to you. And once you discover a way, I'm sure you'll do your very best to make it happen. That IS a dream, Stahl. One that demands both courage and industry!
Stahl:
Heh. I may not be much for grand causes, but I do like helping people out.
Maribelle:
A bit overly humble for my tastes, but there's no doubting your honesty.
Stahl:
Thank you! ...I think. In any case, right now my job is to help you and Chrom. So, what else can I do for you? Any more documents that need finding?
Maribelle:
Yes, but they can wait for a while. Why don't we both have a break with a refreshing cup of elderberry tea? I haven't had a nice chitchat in ever so long!
Stahl:
It would be my pleasure!

Stahl:
Maribelle, weren't you looking for this book?
Maribelle:
Why, yes. How did you know?
Stahl:
I've spent a lot of time with you lately. It's all kind of second nature. Like right now, I'd wager that you want a hot cup of elderberry tea.
Maribelle:
Well, now that you mention it, it is about time for a little break. You are getting very good at anticipating my every need! Since you started helping, I haven't once had to stay up all night. Stahl, I do believe you have a special genius for making people's lives easier!
Stahl:
I enjoy making people from all walks of life happy, Maribelle. Although there is one person who I like making happier more than any other... And that's you.
Maribelle:
Why, Stahl... I do believe that is a ring...
Stahl:
If you haven't noticed, I've become completely smitten with you. Whether carrying books or copying obscure scrolls, my heart leaps for joy at every task. And that's why I want to be your husband.
Maribelle:
Are you sure? It would mean a lot of hard work...
Stahl:
Hard work? Pshaw! If it's done in your service, it would be a joy!
Maribelle:
Why, Stahl, you certainly know how to sweep a lady off her feet... Very well. I would be honored to wear your ring.
Stahl:
Then from now on, my dream shall be YOUR dream!
