Niles: Hm? Where do you think you're going?

Elise: What do you mean?

Niles: The war council is assembling in a few minutes. Aren't you to be there?

Elise: Yeah, but I'm not going.

Niles: Oh? Why is that?

Elise: 'Cause everyone just treats me like a kid. Even if I go, they won't listen to me.

Niles: The best way to get treated like an adult may be to think of yourself as one. Or perhaps to simply act like one by actually attending your meetings?

Elise: But everything they talk about always goes right over my head. I can never follow what they're saying.

Niles: That's no excuse. You could try studying more between these meetings. Lord Leo attended such meetings when he was much younger than you are now.

Elise: He did?

Niles: Sure, probably.

Elise: Huh?

Niles: I said "sure, milady."

Elise: OK. Well, I guess you're right. I should probably get going, then...

Niles: I'm happy you've come to see the light, milady. Attending these meetings can only help both you and Nohr. If nothing else, you will learn more simply by being present.

Elise: OK. I'll do my best!

Elise: *bawling*

Niles: What's the matter, my lady?

Elise: I w-went to the war meeting like you said, but they told me I didn't need to be there! They said i-i-it was too complicated for me! J-j-jerks!

Niles: They what?

Elise: Yeah! Everyone else was there, and I'm th-the only one they said should leave! It's so dumb! Dumb dumb dumb! They're all just a bunch of dumbheads! Why won't they take me seriously?! I even showed up and everything! I'm an adult, right? They should treat me like ooonnee! *sob*

Niles: My apologies. It seems my advice has caused you unnecessary pain.

Elise: No, you were right. I need to study more. I'm no better than a child. My siblings are so mature... Why can't I be like them?

Niles: If I might offer some additional advice, milady?

Elise: OK...I guess. What is it?

Niles: You might take this the wrong way, but I think it's important you hear it. I think the problem lies in your attitude.

Elise: My attitude?

Niles: You want others to see you both as an adult and as a little sister. So while you want them to take you seriously, you pout when they don't. Years may pass, milady, but this alone won't make you mature or responsible. That can only be earned by learning to master yourself and your reactions.

Elise: ...You're right. Thank you, Niles... *sniff* *sniffle* No. No! I can't cry! I'm not a baby!

Niles: No. You may cry as much as you like. You have just heard a hard truth. But when your crying is through, pick yourself up and try again. Study up. I know you can do it.

Elise: Th-th-thank you, Niles! I'll do my best! *sob*

Elise: Niles!

Niles: Lady Elise? You seem more energetic of late.

Elise: I did what you said and changed my attitude!

Niles: Oh? I-I'm not sure that that's quite how it works... People don't change THAT quickly.

Elise: Well I did! And everyone wants me to attend the war council meetings again!

Niles: Huh. Well, good on you, then. So, tell me. What happened?

Elise: I told them how I think we should approach our next battle. And they listened! They even praised my idea! It's all thanks to you, Niles!

Niles: I'm proud of you, Elise. That's wonderful. Though...perhaps also something of a shame.

Elise: Huh? Did you say something?

Niles: Oh, no. Nothing, my dear princess.

Elise: OK. Well, either way, I want you to know that I'm still gonna be relying on you! You're harsh, but you don't mince words. I need someone like that in my life. It's only because of your advice that I even made it this far, after all.

Niles: Then I will do my best to serve you, my lady...much as it may hurt sometimes.

Elise: Thanks! I'm counting on you!

Niles: You called for me?

Elise: Thanks for coming, Niles! I had something to tell you.

Niles: I see.

Elise: When the time is right, I think I should marry someone like you.

Niles: Oh? Any reason?

Elise: Yeah. I need a husband who won't mince words. Someone who knows how things really are. Who doesn't sugarcoat anything.

Niles: You seem to have a very high opinion of me.

Elise: I do! I love you, Niles! I love you a whole bunch! You've made me think and helped me to grow in ways I didn't think I could. And that's not all I like about ya.

Niles: Then, milady, there is only one thing left to do. We must marry each other.

Elise: Perfect! So then you'll take this?

Niles: A ring? My, you certainly don't waste any time, do you?

Elise: Nope! Not when it comes to you, my love!

Niles: Well, I suppose I must accept.

Elise: Because you love me too?

Niles: I...do. I never expected it. But I have grown to love you. You have an innocence about you that I have rarely seen in my life. I lost hope, once, because I bore witness to the worst evils the world has to offer. But you have rekindled that hope in my heart. I could not live without you.

Elise: O-oh wow. Really?

Niles: Really. And I vow I will do everything in my power to help you in all your endeavors. Though I suppose we'll start with making you a responsible, regal princess, eh?

Elise: Heehee. Exactamundo!

Niles: Now, let's go find Lord Leo and share the good news with him.

Elise: Ooh! I can't wait to see his face!
