Part 803: Cordelia B

Here you are, then. My dessert is yours once again.

...Thanks. So, what do you want to know today?

Hmm, I know there was something I wanted to ask you... Ah, that's it. Why didn't you choose to be a pegasus knight?

Ugh, because I'd sooner drink boiling tar than follow in your footsteps...

...That's just a bit harsh, isn't it?

If you want harsh, try living in the shadow of someone who's perfect at everything. Trust me, it's a NIGHTMARE. Everyone loves you and respects you and thinks you're pretty and smart and strong. I'm just a pile of dog food...

Ah ha ha, that's quite a list of complements! I'm flattered, Severa

Hey, I'm just repeating what everybody ELSE says. I never said any of that!

Oh? ...Then what DO you think of me? What sort of mother was I?

Perfect, of cour-- Er... *AHEM*

I mean, you were a coldhearted, selfish brute who abandoned your only daughter!

Severa, I... I'm so sorry. *sniff*

H-hey... No fair crying... I didn't mean it. Of course I didn't mean it...You were kind and pretty and strong and perfect... All right?!

Are you happy now...?

Ah... I'm sorry, dear, but yes, I am. It warms my heart to hear you say that.

Whatever. We're done here! (leaves)

...My, she is quick when she wants to be. Quicker than me, that's for certain.

But she doesn't need to know I became a pegasus knight because I'm a lousy runner...
