Olivia:
Um, hey, Panne...?
Panne:
What do you want, man-spawn?
Olivia:
Oh, er, sorry! I didn't mean... N-never mind! Bye!
Panne:
Wait. You must have wanted something, or you wouldn't have approached me.
Olivia:
Erm...
Panne:
Well? Out with it! What is your complaint?
Olivia:
C-complaint?! Oh gosh, no! I don't have a complaint!
Panne:
Then state your business. Quickly.
Olivia:
I...er...was...just wondering... That is to say... Well, it's a bit silly, but... What do you think of me?
Panne:
I do not think of you.
Olivia:
Oh! R-right. Yeah, I suppose that was kind of a strange question. It's just that I feel so useless most of the time, so...
Panne:
You are not.
Olivia:
You really think so? Because—
Panne:
You do not trust me? You think I am lying?
Olivia:
Oh gosh, no!
Panne:
I find your search for reassurance puzzling. If you are here, then clearly you are needed. If you were useless, Chrom would have left you by the side of the road somewhere.
Olivia:
I...guess?
Panne:
Are you perhaps laying the groundwork for a future failure?
Olivia:
What? No! I would never do anything like that...
Panne:
...Wouldn't you?

Panne:
I'd like to thank you, man-spa— Er, Olivia. Your dancing was of great assistance.
Olivia:
Oh, truly? I'm so glad I could be of assistance!
Panne:
I hope you will continue to do so in the future.
Olivia:
Well, I'll try, but I'm just so usel— Argh, I almost did it again!
Panne:
Did what again?
Olivia:
Make excuses for myself in case I mess up...
Panne:
Ah. You're referring to my accusation from the last time we spoke. Pay it no mind. It was unfair of me.
Olivia:
No, wait. See, the thing is, you were right. I do try to make excuses for myself. I wish I knew how to be strong and confident like you... Um, can you tell me your secret? Can you make me more like you?
Panne:
Is this what you wanted to ask the last time you approached me?
Olivia:
Yes, actually.
Panne:
You make a difficult request. I know not from whence my strength springs. I am a taguel and you are not. It may be that I cannot teach you anything.
Olivia:
Maybe so, but I still want to try!
Panne:
Very well. Give me some time to think upon the problem.

Panne:
Olivia. Do you remember our talk about learning how to be strong?
Olivia:
Of course! Actually, I've been wondering when we could start my lessons.
Panne:
I have thought deeply on the problem, and I may have an answer. But it is the answer of a taguel. It may not suit you.
Olivia:
I'm willing to try anything!
Panne:
I began by thinking about what sets humans and taguel apart. The difference is that humans are fundamentally irrational creatures.
Olivia:
Irrational?
Panne:
Yes. You humans always attempt the impossible while ignoring the possible. This is, as I said, irrational. It is not, however, a failing. Chrom, for example, chases an impossible task, and yet it is a noble cause. I think this is one of the greatest strengths of your species.
Olivia:
Um, wait. So I should be...more irrational?
Panne:
Yes.
Olivia:
O...kay?
Panne:
It's actually quite rational. For you to be irrational, I mean.
Olivia:
Okay, stop it.
Panne:
Listen, Olivia. Can you tell me what is possible or impossible? I speak here of the future.
Olivia:
Er, well...
Panne:
You see? You do not know. None of us, human or taguel, know this. But you decide that nothing is possible and give up trying to achieve anything.
Olivia:
Hmm...
Panne:
This is your first assignment: you must learn your own limits. You need to discover what it is you're capable of.
Olivia:
Okay, got it. Learn my limits... Discover my capabilities...
Panne:
The only way to know your limits is to push yourself to them. At least, that is what a taguel would do. It won't be easy, but if you apply yourself...
Olivia:
Oh, I will! I'm going to apply myself like treacle on bread! Just you wait! Thanks so much for the advice, Panne. Maybe we could talk again sometime?
Panne:
I would be glad to. We're in this together, now.
Olivia:
Yay! Just knowing you're a part of this makes me feel like I can do anything!
Panne:
Heh. Irrational creatures indeed...
