Sumia:
Frederick! What are you doing up so early?

Frederick:
Good morning, Sumia. I'm inspecting everyone's weapons and armor to ensure all is ready for battle.

Sumia:
But it's not even dawn yet! Don't you ever sleep?

Frederick:
I have sworn to serve Chrom and the Shepherds to the best of my ability. As commander, Chrom bears a burden far heavier than any of ours. It would ill behoove me to neglect any opportunity to lessen that load.

Sumia:
He's fortunate to have you. Imagine getting up this early just to check gear!

Frederick:
I did not stir this morn simply to satisfy myself as to our battle readiness. I also exercised, performed a number of weapon drills, and patrolled the camp. I then stoked the fire, readied the makings for morning tea, and consumed one egg.

Sumia:
Er...

Frederick:
Oh, and I scared off a noisy flock of birds nesting too near milord's tent. Then, with no other pressing task, I took the time to inspect our equipment.

Sumia:
Good heavens.

Frederick:
Apologies, my lady. You must find my prattle to be terribly dull. I have often been criticized for what some consider to be an excess of zeal. Such devotion appears to make my comrades uneasy.

Sumia:
Well, I think it's wonderful!

Frederick:
...You do?

Sumia:
Absolutely! You're an inspiration, Frederick. There's no other word for it. Look at all you do for Chrom! It makes me wish I was more like you. I'm so sick of being the girl whose main contribution is falling on her face! I know we all need levity in these times, but I would still prefer to do more.

Frederick:
I don't know what to say. You're the first person who has ever understood what I'm trying to do. Perhaps we should join our causes to each other. We could be the grease that keeps the Shepherds running smoothly.

Sumia:
Now THAT is a splendid idea!

Sumia:
I'm so sorry, Frederick!

Frederick:
I-it's quite all right, milady. I suppose it is a bit complicated the first time.

Sumia:
But I can't believe I got lost patrolling the camp. So embarrassing! And I don't know HOW I managed to drop that potion. That...expensive potion. Although you did agree the broom was worn out before it broke, so that's probably... Oh gosh, and the fire! I'm SO SORRY about the fire! You have a spare tent, right?

Frederick:
Yes, well, look on the bright side: you did a splendid job pulling weeds. I don't see a single straggler in this entire camp!

Sumia:
Well, I always liked making little chains and bracelets out of flowers!

Frederick:
...Er, you did just pluck weeds, yes? Not the flowers from the flowerbeds?

Sumia:
Flower...beds? Oh, HORSE PLOP! It's true! All I'm good for is falling on my face! I'm going to go back to bed and pull the covers over my head.

Frederick:
Please, milady, no! You mustn't give up.

Sumia:
B-but...

Frederick:
The most important part of any battle is that you give your all. Everything you did today was out of consideration for your fellow Shepherds. And if the results were less than optimal? Well, it's not the worst thing in the world. So long as you strive to help people, success will eventually find its way to you.

Sumia:
Oh, Frederick! If you really think so, then I promise not to give up! Perhaps I could make little flower necklaces for everyone!

Frederick:
...Please don't.

Frederick:
Hmm... What to do, what to do...

Sumia:
Hello, Frederick. Is something wrong?

Frederick:
Ah, Sumia. Yes, something IS wrong! This horse escaped the paddock during the night. I managed to catch it by the bridle, but the foul beast refuses to be led back!

Sumia:
Oh, is that all? Here, let me try.

Frederick:
No, milady, it's too dangerous! The brute is practically frothing at the mouth!

Sumia:
Oh, don't be silly... There, what a nice horsey... Shhhhhh... Auntie Sumia won't hurt you, I promise. But if you stay out here, the wolves might get you. Let's go back to your friends.

Frederick:
By the nine heavens! It's moving!

Sumia:
We'll be fine, Frederick. I'll make sure this brave guy gets back safe.

Frederick:
You have a gift, milady. I thought the creature would die on this very spot.

Sumia:
Oh, he just needed some encouragement is all. It's kind of like how you aid and motivate Chrom! Humans and horses both need friends to lean on sometimes.

Frederick:
Still, you performed a great service, and I am in your debt.

Sumia:
Oh, really, it's not a big—

Frederick:
Do not be modest, milady! I might have wrestled that beast all day without you!

Sumia:
Yes, possibly. Except, well, the thing is... See, last night, I fed the horses. And you know the latch on the gate? The one you're supposed to close? Weeell, there's a teensy-tinesy possibility I might have left it...kind of...open.

Frederick:
By the gods! So it was you who let this demon beast free!

Sumia:
Frederick! I've been meaning to thank you! You're the one who polished my armor to such a lovely sheen, right?

Frederick:
I...wasn't sure you noticed.

Sumia:
Of course I noticed! My plate and weapons have never looked so good... Why, I glittered like a lighthouse on my ride today! ...I actually felt pretty.

Frederick:
You are always beautiful to me, Sumia. In truth, I've eyes for no one else.

Sumia:
Hee hee! Not even Chrom?

Frederick:
'Tis no laughing matter, milady! I serve Chrom because I have sworn to do so. He is my lord and master. But when in your presence, I cannot tear my eyes from you. I am captivated! True, at first it was because I feared you might blunder into a nearby tree... But soon I found myself gazing at you whenever the opportunity permitted.

Sumia:
Oh, Frederick...

Frederick:
Please, milady. Would you do me the honor of accepting this gift?

Sumia:
...This is the most beautiful ring I've ever seen, Frederick. Does it mean what I think it means?

Frederick:
My heart is yours, milady. Now and forever, if you would only but claim it.

Sumia:
But why? I'm so inept at everything! Weeding, fire starting, wagon repair...

Frederick:
None of that matters, so long as you are by my side!

Sumia:
I just can't imagine... Gods, this ring is so shiny. You must have polished it for days. Frederick, this is the nicest thing that anyone has ever done for me...

Frederick:
You deserve it and more. Were that I could, I would present you with the moon herself.

Sumia:
I don't want the moon, Frederick. I just want you! So yes! Yes and yes and yes again! You've made me the happiest woman alive!
