Part 355: Stahl C

Hello, Stahl.

I was drawn here by the sound of sweet music. Was it you playing?

You are kind to say so. But in truth, I'm quite out of practice.

What? No, you play beautifully! And one of my favorite Ylissean folk songs, to boot!

It's been so long since last I played. When I saw this harp at the local market, I just couldn't resist.

I remember how you entranced the court by playing at Chrom's birthday ceremony. Those were some good times... Say, why don't you put an encore performance? It'd be huge for morale!

Oh, that court concert was a long time ago. I don't even remember the music. Although I suppose I could muddle through if I had the score in front of me.

Wait, you were just playing from memory? That's even more impressive!

Please, Stahl, I'm serious. Stop trying to flatter me. Compared to Phila, I'm just a clumsy amateur.

Well, sure. But Phila was the best I've seen. She could have joined the royal orchestra.

I always dreamed that one day I might be as skilled as her. It's silly, I know.

Hey, never say never! Especially when you're so abundantly talented.

Stop it, seriously! See, now I'm just getting embarrassed...

Er, oh, hey! Would you look at that? It's chore time. ...Gotta go!

That Cordelia... She's never satisfied with being second best in anything.

I'm going to have step up my game if I ever hope to compete with that!
