Sophie: Hiiiya! Hya! Ha! Take this! And that! And that! Hm? Oh! Siegbert! Good morning!

Siegbert: Good morning, Sophie. Why are you up so early? Training?

Sophie: Training? I guess you could say that... Really, though, I was just trying to distract myself from something. Swinging the old lance around really takes my mind off things. HIIIYA!

Siegbert: Oh? Did something bad happen?

Sophie: Yeah. I got into a bit of a spat with Avel.

Siegbert: Ah, yes. Your famous mount. I've heard he can be quite the handful.

Sophie: You don't know the half of it! He's always wandering off into the wilderness! Even when I'm riding him! And if he's not doing that, he's trying to take a bite out of someone! Just last week, he almost took off a piece of Avatar's shoulder! And today he's been especially terrible. He even tried to kick me in the face! So I screamed at him and took away his snack.

Siegbert: I see. Well, sometimes a master must lead with a firm hand.

Sophie: I guess. I don't know. Maybe I was too hard on the big dummy. He's probably starving by now...

Siegbert: You care a lot about Avel, don't you? He must be very happy to have a friend like you.

Sophie: Thanks, Siegbert. That's kind of you to say. But I think Avel would beg to differ.

Siegbert: Don't say that. I bet Avel knows how you feel about him. Our animals tend to pick up on more than you'd think.

Sophie: Hm. Maybe you're right. Oh! Look at the time! I'd better go feed him his lunch now! Poor thing... Thanks, Siegbert! See you later!

(Sophie leaves)

Siegbert: I could go for some lunch myself. I wonder if there's any bear meat left...

Sophie: Give it back! Come on, you stupid horse! Give it back!

(Sophie leaves)

Siegbert: Huh? Is that...Sophie and Avel?

(Siegbert leaves)

Sophie: Avel! Listen to me! I can't sleep at night without that!

Siegbert: What's the matter, Sophie? Did you lose something?

Sophie: Siegbert?! I-it's nothing! Don't worry about it!

Siegbert: I can't just not worry about it when you look so distressed. Please, allow me to assist you. I am quite good at finding things.

Sophie: No! That's OK! People can't know I lost this.

Siegbert: Don't worry. I won't tell anyone. I promise. What did you lose?

Sophie: Well...I didn't lose it, really. Avel just sort of took it from me.

Siegbert: OK, but what IS it?

Sophie: That doesn't matter! Please, just leave me alone! I'll take care of it myself.

Siegbert: Ah, it's Avel! What's that he's got in his mouth?

Sophie: NO! Bad Avel! Go away! We don't want you here!

Siegbert: Is that a doll? No, it's not really human shaped. It's more like a... Ah. It's...a teddy bear.

Sophie: NO! NO! NO! Why did this have to happen to me?! You weren't ever supposed to know! No one was supposed to know!

Siegbert: I-I'm sorry! I didn't see anything! See? My eyes are closed! I can't see a thing! La-lala-lala!

Sophie: Oh, cut it out! It's too late now. I know you saw it. Ugh. You guys are the worst.

Siegbert: I'm really, really sorry! Please, allow me to make it up to you!

Sophie: Leave me alone. I'm just gonna sit over here and mope until I feel better. Blast it, Sophie, you big dum-dum!

(Sophie leaves)

Siegbert: OK then. Bye! Wow, I've really blown it this time...

Siegbert: Hello, Sophie. I wanted to apologize for the other day. I should have listened to your wishes and left the search to you.

Sophie: Oh, you mean the teddy-bear incident?

Siegbert: Yes. I am truly sorry.

Sophie: It's OK! I'm not mad about it anymore. You were just trying to help.

Siegbert: Oh. Well, then. I'm glad. You have a good heart, Sophie. I appreciate your pardoning me. However... I cannot just let things stand as they are. I wounded you too deeply. So I have brought you a present. I know I cannot make up for the pain I've caused. But I hope it is worth something.

Sophie: You don't have to do anything so grand, Siegbert. It's OK, really.

Siegbert: No, I do. Please. Will you accept this gift?

Sophie: Gee, I don't— Oh my gods! It's an adorable little bunny doll!

Siegbert: Yes. It was embarrassing to purchase, to say the least. But I did it. I have little experience with stuffed animals and didn't know which to pick... But I hope you like it. This one was... the most...snuggle-able, I felt. *ahem*

Sophie: Hold your horses! I can't accept this! This is even more embarrassing than you seeing my teddy bear!

Siegbert: Huh? But I thought you liked it! You were smiling just a moment ago!

Sophie: That may be so, but stuffed bunnies like these are for little babies!

Siegbert: What?! Really? I'm so sorry! I didn't— I just meant—

Sophie: Ugh! Siegbert, you blockhead! *sigh* I appreciate the thought, but I think it's best if you just let things be. OK? Although I GUESS I could keep this wittle bunny-wunnie you bought me. You know, as a favor. To you. Teehee! Look at that wittle face...

Siegbert: You'll keep it? Perfect! I pray he becomes best friends with your little teddy pal.

Sophie: Heehee! Me too.

Sophie: Siegbert! Have you seen Avel anywhere?

Siegbert: I have. Just saw him in the stables, in fact.

Sophie: Thank goodness! Then he came back on his own. Ugh, the big lug. He had me worried sick.

Siegbert: You really are quite amazing. I've no idea how you manage to take care of Avel. He seems so impossible sometimes.

Sophie: Oh, I don't think I'm all that special. He's my responsibility. Anyone would do the same for their own animal.

Siegbert: I'm not so sure. Taking responsibility is easier said than done. For what it's worth, I think you're a first-rate caretaker.

Sophie: Aw, shucks. Thanks, Siegbert!

Siegbert: If you'll pardon my saying it, it's one of the things I really love about you.

Sophie: Love? That's some awfully strong language, there. Just what are you getting at?

Siegbert: I'm trying to say that...I like you, Sophie. And I want to be with you.

Sophie: Oh!

Siegbert: Sophie. Will you spend the rest of your life with me?

Sophie: Whoa! Gods! Just hang on a minute! Baby steps, Siegbert!

Siegbert: I'm sorry. Perhaps I was too forward. I don't know quite how to go about this. Growing up, I learned about affairs of the heart from books and the like... I hope I haven't offended you. It just seemed like a romantic thing to say.

Sophie: No, it's OK! I understand. I don't think any of us are very good at this stuff... And from what I hear, our parents weren't much better at taking things slowly. But maybe we should try courting first... I AM very fond of you. We want to be sure though. You're the future king of Nohr, after all. And I don't know how good of a queen I would make...

Siegbert: Don't say that! You would be the perfect queen of Nohr. A ruler must put their people first, even when it is most difficult. I know you would do this, because I see you do it every day for Avel. You have a compassionate soul, and a strong sense of responsibility. In other words, you have the heart of a queen.

Sophie: Siegbert...

Siegbert: But maybe you're right. We should not marry right away. However... I would still like to give you this ring. As a promise for the future.

Sophie: Are you sure?

Siegbert: Yes. I can think of no one else who would wear it better.

Sophie: Thank you, Siegbert. I'm honored!

Siegbert: Thank you, Sophie. I swear I will protect you with my life.

Sophie: I swear the same to you, my prince!
