Sylvain: I'd better avoid the training grounds. I swear, His Highness never sleeps...

Dimitri: You're out late, Sylvain. Is it safe to assume you've been wildly carousing with women? I'm afraid that behavior simply will not do.

Sylvain: Ah, Your Highness! Hello. No, I was not wildly carousing with women. There was only the one. Let's just forget you saw me, agreed?

Dimitri: Unfortunately, I can't do that. It's time someone talked some sense into you, and it seems the task has fallen to me.

Sylvain... I'm not saying you can't enjoy yourself at night. But you must learn the art of moderation. Again and again, you end up wandering the streets until the early morning...

Sylvain: OK, I get it. I don't need one of your lectures. I've got them all memorized, anyway. I promise I'll be better in the future. I'll stop going out at night. I'll focus more on my studies... (Pre-TS) I'll attend all the strategy meetings... (Post-TS) And in return, you'll go into town with me, and we'll invite some cute girls to dinner. Shall we shake on it?

Dimitri: The way your mind works absolutely confounds me. How did you even arrive at such a notion?

Sylvain: You need to get out more. Naive and uptight is no way to live your life.

Dimitri: Naive and uptight? Yes, well, compared to you, I imagine I'm downright run-of-the-mill.

Sylvain: I'm not so sure. Most men are experienced enough to know not to give a dagger to the girl they--

Dimitri: Will you never let that rest?! It was many years ago! Perhaps a good knock on the head will help you to finally forget about it...

Sylvain: With your brute strength, a knock on the head could knock the life right out of me. You'd better watch that temper, Your Highness. So how about this-- I'll try to behave, and you'll try to loosen up?

Dimitri: If I do as you wish, will you truly promise to improve your behavior?

Sylvain: What'd I just say? Of course I'll behave. A knight of Faerghus never goes back on his word. What about you? I wanna see you with a girl on your arm.

Dimitri: I am a man of my word. I will...attempt to do as you ask. But you had better uphold your end of the bargain as well.

Sylvain: Seriously?! Ha! Yeah, I'll believe it when he introduces me to the lucky girl. Oh, Dimitri. You always take even the silliest things so very seriously. This should be fun...

Sylvain: Uh...Your Highness? Why are you in my room?

Dimitri: Sorry! I need to...hide. In here. Just for a while. I'll have you know this is all your fault!

Sylvain: Hide? From who? (Pre-TS) Hide? From who? Is it the Empire?! (Post-TS)

Dimitri: It's, um. A girl. From the academy. (Pre-TS) No. It's, ugh... A girl. (Post-TS)

Sylvain: I'm sorry... It's a what?

Dimitri: This is all because of your insistence that I go and ask a girl out!

Sylvain: You didn't give her a dagger, did you? Is that why you're hiding? Does she have a dagger, Dimitri?

Dimitri: Look, you kept true to your promise to improve your behavior. So I felt it was only right to make good on my side of the bargain too...

Sylvain: You invited a girl to dinner, and now she's chasing you around. What's the big deal? Unless... Did you use one of my pick-up lines? Those words are dangerous in the wrong hands. With me, people know a line's a line and I'm joking. But you... Nobody's ever accused you of being funny.

Dimitri: I clearly underestimated the difficulty of the task. But...what do I do now?

Sylvain: Relax, Your Highness. Relax. I'll sort this whole thing out, real easy. All we have to do is figure out how to make this girl lose interest in you. And making girls lose interest is what I'm best at! You just wait right there, and I'll fix everything.

Dimitri: It was my naiveté that brought this about. I cannot place this immense burden on your shoulders...

Sylvain: This is no job for an amateur. You need a professional's help. Trying to do everything yourself has never served you so well, so just leave this to the master. Even the dagger incident could have been avoided if you had just talked with me beforehand.

Dimitri: There wasn't time for consultation! I only learned she was leaving on the day of her departure.

Sylvain: Whatever you say. The point is you need to learn to rely on me for these types of things in future. For now, I got this. And if I ever need help with... something you know how to help with, then maybe you can do the same for me.

Dimitri: Sylvain... Very well. When that time comes, I promise to help you as best I can.

Sylvain: A knight of Faerghus never goes back on his word... Isn't that right?

Dimitri: You're a good man, Sylvain. I'm sorry to do this to you. Best of luck!

Sylvain: Please, Your Highness. I've spent years honing my skills for just this situation. Watch and learn.
