Part 165: Lissa A

*Slurp chomp* So then Chrom, he... *chomp, chomp* *snort* So he said...

Look, either you should eat or you should talk. ...Actually, just eat, would you?

Okay, I'll... *chomp, chomp* *slurp*

You really think that brother of yours is the bee's knees, don't you?

*Schnorf slurp* Look who's talking! *Crunch* *chomp*

Cripes, why did I ever buy you that blasted mince pie in the first place...

Blackmail, remember? You know I'm terrible at keeping secrets when I'm hungry.

This is a fool bit of business, and no denyin'... Still, the more I hear your stories about Chrom, the more I admire him.

I'm SO proud of him... He's done so much for our people... and for me.

I feel like anything I've accomplished I owe to him in one way or another.

Aw, what are you talkin' about! You expect ol' Teach to believe that?

Oh, don't mind me. I'm just blabbering.

Way I see it, you got lots to be proud of. I mean 'sides your brother.

Do you really think so?

As sure as my name is Vaike the Mighty! Ya never back down from a challenge, and you're not all snooty like most royal folk. You're nice, and kind, and as beautiful as a goddess! Gods strike me down if it ain't the truth! You got plenty to be proud of!

Vaike, that's... Well, thank you. Even if it was a total exaggeration.

No japin'! You're all that and more! There's just so much good in ya.

Goodness... W-well, I suppose I could say the same of you, couldn't I? All that talk about fighting my brother? About being rivals?

I know it's all just bluster. You don't want anyone to know what a kind, considerate, and wonderful man you are!

Aw, shucks... You're gonna make the Vaike blush...
