The Shy Researcher
Althemia: Amazing... Incredible! Stupendous!
Althemia: This castle is absolutely dripping with ancient magic!
Althemia: It's a treasure trove of past wisdom. I want to— No, I MUST study it from top to bottom!
Euden: Excuse me—
Althemia: Gaaah!
Euden: Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you.
Euden: I'm Euden, and this is my castle.
Euden: How exactly did you get in here? I don't recall ever seeing you before.
Althemia: Oh! Well, I, um... You see...
Althemia: Deep breaths, Althemia. Calm down...
Althemia: J-just... Just answer the question...
Euden: Sorry; did you say something? You're a bit...mumbly.
Althemia: Oh, I... I was just t-talking. To myself.
Althemia: Um, you see... Th-this castle, it... It's really...really...old.
Euden: Uh, yep. It sure is.
Euden: I was told it was built many generations ago. Er, but what does its age have to do with anything?
Althemia: Uhh, well, because it's old, there's a lot of... Uh, what I mean is... I kind of want to look around and...inspect it?
Euden: You want to inspect the castle because it's old?
Euden: Is it dangerous or something? I know we're a bit behind on repairs, but—
Althemia: N-no! I'm not here to do repairs! I just want to look around!
Euden: I'm sorry. I'm very confused.
Althemia: It's... Look, I'm trying to tell you... Oh, for heaven's sake!
Althemia: This castle is of the utmost academic importance!
Althemia: It's squandered serving as mere shelter for unlearned neophytes like you!
Althemia: I doubt there is a single qualified scholar among your numbers.
Althemia: Luckily for you I, the great Althemia, came along. You should be grateful I'm here to study this castle for you!
Euden: ...Yikes.
Althemia: Oh...
Althemia: I...I didn't... I didn't mean it that way... I'm...
Euden: Let me see if I understand you correctly. You want to research this castle, yes?
Althemia: Uh... Y-yes, that... That's right.
Euden: I see. Well, you could have just said that from the start.
Euden: But yes, that's fine. There's plenty I'd like to learn about it, so having someone dedicated to research would be helpful.
Althemia: You mean... It's okay? Even after how I spoke to you...?
Euden: Well, it WAS a bit hard to parse what you were after at first.
Althemia: N-no, I mean... The horrible things I said. I know I must have offended you.
Euden: Oh, I've heard worse.
Euden: In any case, welcome to the castle, Althemia. We're happy to have you.
