Part 502: Ricken C

Say, Tharja? You can... you know... do magic and stuff, right?

Yes. I can do magic and... stuff.

Cool! So, um, can you maybe teach me how to cast a curse?

Did someone steal your lunch money?

Oh, jeepers, no! I just like learning new skills is all.

Curses and hexes are no simple matter. ...But perhaps you possess the talent.

Oh, I do! I'm sure I do! So you'll teach me then?

No.

What? Oh, come on!

Casting hexes is not a hobby to be picked up on a whim.

I know! This is serious business! Super-deadly serious business! I'm trying to get as strong as possible so I can be a key part of Chrom's army. I'm studying fencing, wyvern riding, and even butter sculpting! ...You know. Just in case.

Hexes and curses are a different animal. A wild, untameable beast. Now forget we had this conversation, and go practice your butter sculpture. (leaves)

Well, phooey. I was hoping she'd just say yes.

But no worries! She's going to learn that Ricken never, ever gives up!
