She leaves me well enough alone after I chewed her out the other day.

[she hands him his trappers quiche]

No, Arenvald is with the chirurgeons today and my fussin’ over him got me kicked out.

[she leads him out of the city, to a quiet patch of grass looking over the water]

Thanks for joining’ me for lunch. Didn’t much feel like bein’ alone today.

Ha, it’s cute to fluster you. Come on, let’s take lunch elsewhere.

What!

See you soon, handsome.

Yourself, and maybe somethin' to drink.

Meet me at the Carline Canopy, I'll take you to my little spot where I eat lunch.

Mmh.

Sight more annoyin' if that's the case. She an I aren't friends, so I don't know why she feels like she'll 'lose' me. Girl's got more problems to deal with than lookin' after me.

.........

It's. It's both. Like she can't make the distinction.

She won't shut up about it! Emman, it makes me want to do crimes, but that would only prove her right!

Her voice is the single most irritatin' thing.

Eh, can't be nearly as bad as listenin' to Lyse preach on an on about not sellin' yourself out to the Garleans again...

I think I'd rather listen to this Cid and Nero bicker, actually.

[She can't help but grin]

Oh, he's a right pain in the ass! Always tellin' me I should be goin' out an enjoin' my freedom. Says I shouldn't be tethered to him as I am. Been thinkin' about commissionin' the Ironworks folks to make him somethin' he can move around in. Take him with me.

Aye, that there is. You let me know if the bastard needs a solid ass kickin', I'll be happy to do it.

...I'm alright. They finally let me off my chain, so I'm free to go where I please and do what I please. And that's just been lookin' after Arenvald.

Gettin’ bullied again, Emman? Who’s the prick this time?
