Donnel:
The sun is gold, them clouds is white! ♪ Land's far below, 'cause I'm in flight! ♪

Cordelia:
I never thought to hear that song sung by a simple villager.

Donnel:
Hey, Cordelia! Reckon ya know that song too, huh?

Cordelia:
Any pegasus knight worth her wings knows that one, Donnel. But I had always thought it was nearly unknown outside the order.

Donnel:
A lady visited my village—donkey's years ago, it was—and taught me the words. I confess I don't really get what it's about, exactly... But it's a rousin' tune what makes me think of bravery and valiant derrin'-do!

Cordelia:
Well, it IS about bravery. It celebrates the exploits of one of history's greatest pegasus knights.

Donnel:
Well, ain't that somethin'?

Cordelia:
Yes. She lived back in the legendary times of the first exalt of Ylisse. She was his greatest knight and his most stalwart defender. She watched over him like the sun itself, swooping down to dispatch foes. The slow, heavy knights feared her aerial dance most of all. At night they huddled together and told tales of a death-dealing lance from the sky.

Donnel:
Gosh! She sounds mighty impressive.

Cordelia:
Oh, she was. But she was more than just a warrior. She had the courage of a demon, yes, but the heart of an angel. They say the people loved her even more than she loved the exalt. In fact, for every foe she defeated, she won two more to her side with her charisma.

Donnel:
Golly! Tough as a badger, but charmin' as an old fox! Reckon I can see why they wrote such a fine song for her.

Cordelia:
They built statues, too—one of which still stands in the Ylissean capital. I could take you there to see it after the war, if you would like.

Donnel:
Ya bet yer gold teeth I would! It's a date, Cordelia!

Donnel:
Cordelia, I was hopin' ya might spin me more yarns 'bout that pegasus knight.

Cordelia:
Heh. Seems like I piqued your curiosity.

Donnel:
Piqued it and pricked it, too! I think I'm fallin' in love with her!

Cordelia:
Well, keep this under your hat, but it's long been my dream to become just like her. I'm truly delighted that you're as interested in her life as I am! ...Although needless to say, I'm nowhere close to realizing my dream. They'd probably laugh me out of the Shepherds if they knew.

Donnel:
She must'a been mighty special if a gal as amazin' as you can't measure up.

Cordelia:
Oh, I'm not amazing, Donnel. I'm actually a very ordinary knight and woman.

Donnel:
Aw, donkey dung! You're amazin' in more ways than I could ever count!

Cordelia:
Stop that. You shouldn't try to flatter me—charming though it may be.

Donnel:
I ain't flatterin' ya, Cordelia! Cross my heart and hope to spit! And to prove it, I'm gonna start listin' 10 good things about ya every day!

Cordelia:
Er, every day?

Donnel:
Yep! Monday to Sunday, no days off!

Cordelia:
Well, this should be amusing. I wonder how long you'll last.

Donnel:
Oh, just you wait. I can do this for ages!

Donnel:
Welp, let's see... Beautiful, kind, strong, wise... Um, beautiful...

Cordelia:
You said beautiful twice. Not to mention, you've listed all those other things before as well.

Donnel:
W-wait! I ain't done yet! Mmm...thinkin' hard... Mmmmnnn... Ya got a huge nose!

Cordelia:
...That's not a compliment.

Donnel:
It ain't?

Cordelia:
Look, just admit that you've run out of good things to say about me. I'm still impressed you managed to keep it going for so long. I'm starting to think that perhaps I AM a little bit amazing!

Donnel:
I told ya that already! Loads'a times! Fact is, the more I get to know ya, the more amazin' I think ya are.

Cordelia:
Well, I've never been quite so flattered in my life, that's for sure. ...And as a little thank-you gift, I made you this.

Donnel:
What is it? A letter?

Cordelia:
We've been spending a lot of time together, and I've grown to know you quite well. So I drew up my own list, for you.

Donnel:
Gosh! That's a lot of writin'! ...Them's all my good points?

Cordelia:
Oh, no. Those are your faults.

Donnel:
...Oh. Ain't quite what I was expectin', but... Hmmm... Yup. Okay, I see... Yikes, there's a second page... And a third?!

Cordelia:
Flattery is all well and good, but we must know our faults if we want to grow. So I made this list to help you, and I want you to do the same for me. Then I can fix my weaknesses and make myself a new pegasus knight of legend!

Donnel:
Well, if that's what ya want, I reckon I'll give it my best. But I've gotta warn ya, it ain't gonna be easy findin' fault with you!

S Support

Donnel:
*Cough* Er, Cordelia?

Cordelia:
Yes, Donnel. What is it?

Donnel:
It's about that list ya asked me to make. The one about yer bad points? Well, I, er...thought up a couple'a things.

Cordelia:
Excellent! Come then, show them to me. ...Ah, yes, good. You have quite a lot.

Donnel:
Yeah, but actually... That ain't why I wanted to talk at ya.

Cordelia:
Oh?

Donnel:
What I'm really here for is to give ya this here ring.

Cordelia:
Oh. What's it for?

Donnel:
Well, I guess I'm hopin' you'll wear it. I've been spendin' a lot of time thinkin' about ya. Both good points and bad. And frankly, I ain't had much time lately to do anythin' else.

Cordelia:
...Ah. I think I understand now. This is an engagement ring, isn't it?

Donnel:
Yep.

Cordelia:
Well, what a coincidence. I have something for you, too.

Donnel:
Ya do?

Cordelia:
Let me just grab it right... Oof! ...Here.

Donnel:
Creepin' carrots, this is heavy! How much paper ya use in this stack?

Cordelia:
I've spent a great deal of time listing your good and bad points. That's my final report.

Donnel:
Gosh! Ya came up with way more stuff than the last time... S'pose I got a whole mess'a things to fix this time, huh?

Cordelia:
Quite a few, yes. I don't believe in sugarcoating the truth, as you know.

Donnel:
Aw, horse pucky! What'n the heck was I thinkin'? I'm just some dumb farm boy what tried to marry a pegasus knight!

Cordelia:
Oh, dear. It seems I missed one of your faults. Here, give me that. I'll just write it in on the last page... "Comes to hasty conclusions."

Donnel:
...Reckon I'm a hair confused.

Cordelia:
Oh, I already have "easily confused." It's back on page 19. But anyway, what makes you think I'm turning down your proposal?

Donnel:
Ain't it obvious? Look at this huge list of stuff about me what needs fixin'!

Cordelia:
When you were thinking of my faults and strengths, you fell in love with me. ...Right? Well, I think the same thing happened to me when I was making your lists.

Donnel:
And you started likin' me in spite'a all...THIS?

Cordelia:
I did indeed. And so, Donnel, yes. I accept your proposal.

Donnel:
Yeeeeee-haw!

Cordelia:
Of course, once we're married, we'll likely have to expand these lists a great deal. Getting to know you will be an adventure—I'll have to remember to sharpen my quill!

Donnel:
Er, yeah. An adventure! ...Definitely. Ha ha...yeargh.
