Robin:
Ow! I used the last of the salve yesterday, but this cut still stings... What to do, what to do...
Cordelia:
You're not out of salve. I restocked your medical supplies this morning.
Robin:
You did? Ah, that's great. Thank you, Cordelia. You never miss a detail, do you?
Cordelia:
I just like to stay on top of things. By taking stock of everyone's equipment, I know when anything needs replacing.
Robin:
Wait, you keep track of EVERYONE'S equipment?! ...All in your head?
Cordelia:
Of course. Imagine the chaos if our potions and equipment ran out at the same time.
Robin:
...Gods. I can certainly see why everyone calls you a genius.
Cordelia:
Do not call me that!
Robin:
Oh, I'm sorry... I meant no offense.
Cordelia:
...No, of course you didn't. Please forgive me. It's just that...my superiors called me that from the moment I joined the knights. It was so very hard sometimes... Little Lady genius, they called me. They teased and taunted me...
Robin:
Oh...
Cordelia:
They mocked me, too... My appearance, and my javelin technique...
Robin:
Gracious! I had no idea members of the pegasus knights could be so spiteful... I assure you, when I called you a genius, I meant it only as a compliment.
Cordelia:
I know. I'm just overly sensitive, that's all.
Robin:
Well, if you ever need to talk, just let me know.
Cordelia:
Well, since you offered... What do you think of this javelin? I'm not sure about the balance, myself.
Robin:
Er, I meant if you ever need to talk about... Never mind.

Cordelia:
Robin! Look, I crafted a new javelin based on your feedback.
Robin:
You MADE one?
Cordelia:
Er, yes?
Robin:
As in, you forged it yourself? You didn't assemble it...from a kit, or something?
Cordelia:
No... I cut a sapling, fashioned a grip, and hammered the point in the forge. I suppose I could have waited around for the javelin fairy, but she's so unpredictable. here, look. See the pattern on the shaft? It's my own design. ...Well? What do you think?
Robin:
I think that I wasn't expecting you to go and fashion a whole javelin from scratch! You really ARE a genius!
Cordelia:
I beg your pardon?
Robin:
Oh, I... Sorry. I know you're sensitive about that word. I take it back. Anyway, I'm glad I was able to help. If there's anything else I can do...
Cordelia:
Heh, Robin, you are far too kind! Why, if I... N-no, wait. We can't be doing this. People will get the wrong idea!
Robin:
Doing what? What wrong idea?
Cordelia:
If you're so kind to me all the time, people will start to think...we're friends.
Robin:
...Oh. I thought you were going to say something else... Er, but why would that be so bad? We are friends...aren't we?
Cordelia:
D-do you think so?! Truly?
Robin:
Of course. Why not?
Cordelia:
Oh, I'm sorry. I guess... I guess I grew accustomed to not having any. I was the youngest recruit in the pegasus knights. All of my comrades were veterans. There was no one whom I could truly call my "friend."
Robin:
That's...so very sad.
Cordelia:
Oh, well as I said, I grew accustomed to it. Besides, I did have my pegasus to talk to. Even if the chats were a bit one sided...
Robin:
Heh, I guess they would be...

Cordelia:
Robin! Guess what? I showed my new javelin to everyone in camp. They were all so complimentary! Thank you again for the help.
Robin:
Don't thank me! You're the one who went out and learned smithery. I'm just glad it all worked out. If only those pegasus knights could see you now!
Cordelia:
Heh, perhaps they are looking on from the afterlife.
Robin:
Eh, the afterlife?
Cordelia:
Yes, if you believe in such things. ...You do know the story, don't you? How my fellow knights gave their lives so I could escape and warn your party?
Robin:
Gracious, no! I mean, I knew that some of them... I just... I didn't think those were the same knights who... I'm sorry. I didn't fully understand until this moment.
Cordelia:
That's all right. I suppose how I put things is partly to blame.
Robin:
So despite all the teasing, they loved you enough in the end to die for you?
Cordelia:
I was surprised, too! It turns out they'd pretty much decided I was the future. The insults and so forth were just the usual hazing of a new recruit. *Sniff* My only regret is... I wish we'd had more time to...get to know each other. I only learned...how much they loved me...in those last, awful moments...
Robin:
Cordelia...
Cordelia:
*Sniff* R-right, then. Enough self-pity. I don't want to try your patience. ...But I must say, it does feel good to get this off my chest.
Robin:
I understand now why you don't like to be called a genius.
Cordelia:
You do?
Robin:
Remember how upset you got the first time I called you that? I thought it reminded you of a sarcastic insult, but in fact it was the opposite. When your comrades sacrificed themselves for you, you realized that they meant it.
Cordelia:
You're rather clever yourself, working all that out on your own.
Robin:
Not clever, no. Just blessed with the kind of insight close friends share. Because I AM a close friend now, and I'll always be here for you.
Cordelia:
*Sniff* Oh, Robin...Th-thank you.

Robin:
Cordelia, what are you doing?
Cordelia:
I'm going to see how far I can throw my homemade javelin!
Robin:
From the top of this cliff?! You'll never see it again!
Cordelia:
That's the idea. Seeing it only reminds me of my fallen comrades. If I'm ever going to be the knight they hoped I'd be, I have to let go of the past.
Robin:
...I daresay you're right.
Cordelia:
So, here goes. ONE! TWO! THREEEEEEEEE!
Robin:
Woah, what a throw! That javelin sailed like the wind! You really are a geniu-- Er, you are skilled at many things.
Cordelia:
Oh, it's all right. I'm not going to get upset about that word anymore. And I promise not to collapse weeping into your arms ever again!
Robin:
Oh, er... Right. Ha ha! I'd forgotten about that...
Cordelia:
Robin, are you blushing? Don't tell me you've fallen for me!
Robin:
Er, actually...
Cordelia:
Hee hee, just a joke.
Robin:
I know, but... Um... You were right.
Cordelia:
...Ah, I get it! Trying to get me back? Ha ha. Good one, Robin!
Robin:
No...I'm not joking. In fact I've never been more serious. And to prove it...here.
Cordelia:
Oh, heavens. It's... It's a ring.
Robin:
Will you marry me, Cordelia?
Cordelia:
Why, Robin... The thing is... Yes! Oh yes, with all that I am! I accept with all my heart!
Robin:
Truly?! Th-that's wonderful! Oh, Cordelia, you've made me so happy!
Cordelia:
Not half as happy as you've made me!
[Confession special scene]
Thank you. I thought nothing could warm my heart again. I shall love you above all others, for the rest of my days.
