Siegbert: Hello, Velouria. What's that you've got there?

Velouria: This? It's molted snakeskin! Isn't it beautiful?

Siegbert: Oh? What exactly are you planning to do with something like that?

Velouria: What do you mean "something like that"? This is one of my treasures. Don't you dare talk about it with such disgust!

Siegbert: Oh, I apologize! I did not mean to offend. I was surprised, that's all. And also curious about its uses.

Velouria: I thought it might make for a good scarf, but I still haven't decided. Would you like to try it on? I think you would look dashing in it.

Siegbert: No thank you. I, um, have a skin condition. I'm very allergic! Yes. That. *ahem*

Velouria: Your words are polite, but your face is so very rude. Have it your way. You'll never be forced to see my treasures again! I'm sure you'll think it a great relief.

Siegbert: I'm sorry! Please, give me another chance.

Velouria: It's fine. We wolfskin simply have different tastes. You humans will never understand. Not that you need try to understand ones so low as we. You're a future king. You have more pressing concerns, I trust.

Siegbert: That's not true! I want to understand all of my citizens as well as I can! No matter who they are—rich or poor, human or wolfskin!

Velouria: A lofty goal. But more cheaply spoken than done.

Siegbert: Fine! I shall prove it with my actions.

Velouria: And how will you do that?

Siegbert: Well, I'll...I'll start by proving to you that I understand your tastes! By...bringing you some treasure!

Velouria: Ooh, I like this idea. Please do.

Siegbert: Truly? Very good! Then I shall see you again quite soon.

(Siegbert leaves)

Velouria: What a funny human. I think I like him!

Siegbert: Velouria! I've been looking for you! I think I found some treasure you'll like.

Velouria: Ooh! Very good. Let me see!

Siegbert: Of course. Take a look at this bracelet. Is it not a beauty? It was fashioned by one of Nohr's most renowned goldsmiths. And these jewels—each comes from a different corner of the world. It is, I admit, perhaps a bit too grand for daily wear. But you must see, it is truly a masterpiece of Nohrian metallurgy.

Velouria: Hmph. Shiny garbage. Is this the best you can show me?

Siegbert: Oh? But...I was certain...

Velouria: Is there anything else, or are you prepared to accept my verdict?

Siegbert: No! Hold! The bracelet was just an icebreaker.

Velouria: Oh, good. That's a relief.

Siegbert: Now...behold!

Velouria: A child's doll?

Siegbert: Oh, no. This is no mere doll. It's a highly articulated action figure! You can swap out its accessories and dress it up in different outfits!

Velouria: ...

Siegbert: It comes with daily clothes, battle clothes, ball gowns, and evening wear. So you can change how she looks based on how you're feeling when you play with her.

Velouria: ...It is a child's dress-up doll. And an ordinary one at that.

Siegbert: Well, yes, technically. But its versatility is so impressive... All right, then how about this makeup box? It plays music when you open it! Do dee do dodododo! ♪ Well?!

Velouria: Yes. It does play music.

Siegbert: OK, none of these are good. But I think I better understand what you like now. Please, just give me some more time!

Velouria: I don't mind giving you more time, but, really, it would just be a waste—

Siegbert: I'll get it right next time, I swear!

Velouria: Siegbert...? Are all princes this silly?

Siegbert: Hello, Velouria. I found something I thought you might appreciate. Would you care to take a look?

Velouria: If I must.

Siegbert: You like to wear snakeskin as scarves, right? Then perhaps you'll enjoy...this!

Velouria: A book?

Siegbert: Precisely. It's an encyclopedia of reptiles! Look! It has pictures of snakes! What do you say? Impressed?

Velouria: How boring. This is refuse, not treasure. I do not care for books and pictures.

Siegbert: So I've failed yet again...

Velouria: It seems so. I prefer things like, say, broken sword hilts or furballs. Oh! Or lizard tails! A nice, aromatic block of rotting wood works too.

Siegbert: I see. I'm way off the mark then. I'm sorry, Velouria. I tried my hardest, but it wasn't enough. Maybe I was just talking big when I said I wanted to understand all of my subjects. If I have this much trouble even guessing what kinds of gifts one person would like... a man like me could never become king.

Velouria: That's not true. I think you will make a truly great king.

Siegbert: Huh? You do?

Velouria: You tried earnestly—even desperately— to understand me. I think that is the chief mark of a good king. He listens to his subjects. It isn't always possible to understand them, but the desire is what's important.

Siegbert: Velouria...

Velouria: Thank you so much for trying to understand my tastes, Siegbert. Maybe conversation is a better way to learn about each other than gift giving. Would you like to go on a walk with me, Siegbert?

Siegbert: I would love to, Velouria.

Velouria: Hooray! Let's go look for furballs.

Siegbert: No, but she'll never...

Velouria: Siegbert? Is something troubling you?

Siegbert: Hm?! No, of course not!

Velouria: Really? Oh. I must have been mistaken. It appears I do not know you as well as I'd thought.

Siegbert: No, I'm sorry. I wasn't being honest. You are right. Something is weighing on me.

Velouria: What is it?

Siegbert: It's...embarrassing. I'm not sure I should tell you.

Velouria: Perhaps talking about it will make it easier to bear?

Siegbert: I suppose, in a way, you may be right... OK. I'll tell you. I...have feelings for you, Velouria.

Velouria: Y-you mean—

Siegbert: Yes. I want to be with you. And, if the gods allow, I want you to be my queen one day.

Velouria: Queen of Nohr?! A wolfskin like me? But why?

Siegbert: You said yourself that a good ruler must understand their people. How better to understand others than by marrying someone so unlike yourself? For the people of Nohr to unite, they must understand that we are all interconnected. They must learn to understand each other. And we will show them how. But, in truth, all that is secondary. I want you to be my queen because...I love you. And, someday, I hope to marry you, Velouria.

Velouria: I would like that very much, Siegbert. I have long held feelings for you as well.

Siegbert: So...will you be mine, then?

Velouria: I will. Until the end of time.

Siegbert: Thank you so much, Velouria. You've made me unspeakably happy.

Velouria: Then we should speak no more. Now, give me a kiss, my prince!

Siegbert: V-Velouria! Stop licking my cheek! That's not how humans kiss!
