=== Céline & Hortensia === --- C --- [Céline] Greetings, Princess Hortensia. [Hortensia] Princess Céline! [Hortensia] Hmm...yeah. Yep. [Hortensia] You're gonna be tough, but I won't lose. [Céline] Pardon, but...what are you talking about? [Hortensia] Oh, you're good. [Hortensia] We might even be evenly matched, but you won't catch me admitting that in competition. [Hortensia] I mean, you won't catch me surrendering the field of battle! [Céline] We are...battling, then? [Hortensia] Yes! And I will ignore whatever I need to...to proclaim... [Hortensia] Princess Céline! You are no match for me! [Hortensia] I will defeat you in cuteness! And while I'm at it, everything else! [Céline] Hmm... [Céline] Hahaha! So that's what you were raving about. How rambunctious you are. [Hortensia] "Rambunctious"? [Hortensia] Hmph! Be all calm and superior while you can! [Hortensia] I'm gonna fantabulize you into the ground! [Hortensia] Might as well get it over with and surrender! Bwahahaha! [Hortensia] [Céline] Is she leaving so soon? I had hoped to invite her to tea. [Céline] What a darling girl, though. I wish I had a younger sister as adorable. --- B --- [Céline] We meet again, Princess Hortensia. [Hortensia] We do indeed meet, Princess Céline! [Hortensia] Let the competition commence! The first event will be...the softness contest! [Hortensia] Who will be softer─you or me?! Let's try you first. Poke! [Céline] Hahaha! That tickles! [Hortensia] ... [Hortensia] The softness contest is hereby canceled. [Céline] So soon? [Hortensia] Strategic adjustments need to be made. [Céline] That's unfortunate. I wanted to have a turn to poke at you. [Hortensia] Wait, really? Hey, no! Your mind games won't distract me─we're competitors! [Céline] Heh heh, of course we are. [Hortensia] Ugh... What is wrong with me? [Hortensia] This girl's so adorable she's messing with my mind. Ugh... Insidious! [Céline] My turn! Let's see how soft you are! Poke! [Hortensia] I told you, that contest is canceled! [Céline] Forgive me. I was overcome with curiosity and couldn't help myself. [Hortensia] Why is she smiling like that?! Agh... Why do I LIKE it?! [Hortensia] Enough of your tricks! I'm the cutest there is! I'll never be outdone! [Hortensia] Aaagh! [Hortensia] [Céline] There she goes again. Drat! It seems I once more missed my chance to invite her to tea. --- A --- [Hortensia] ... [Céline] You don't seem your usual rambunctious self today, Princess Hortensia. [Hortensia] OK, Princess Céline. Fine. [Hortensia] I admit it. [Céline] Admit what? [Hortensia] You're cuter than me. I admit defeat. [Hortensia] I was doomed from the start, really. Who can even take their eyes off you? [Céline] That is high praise indeed. [Céline] And yet... [Céline] I'm not through poking you. Poke, poke, poke! [Hortensia] Ah! Ahahaha, why?! [Céline] Shall we call the contest an amicable draw? [Céline] You do not lack for cuteness. And you wear your mood plainly on your face. [Céline] Little do you realize what a comfort those two things are to those around you. [Hortensia] You...really think so? [Céline] I do. And never mind my charms. You have unique charms all your own. [Céline] I daresay a smile suits you better than a pout. [Hortensia] When you say things like that, I... [Hortensia] Aaah, it only makes me like you more! [Céline] Good. I was already quite fond of you. [Hortensia] How can you just stand there being all calm and perfect? [Céline] Come, Princess Hortensia. Won't you join me for a cup of tea? [Céline] I've wanted to extend the invitation for some time now. [Hortensia] Tea? With you? [Céline] Hahaha, indeed. I think that we two younger sisters will have a great deal in common. [Céline] As a sign of our friendship, I've imported a special blend from Elusia. [Hortensia] That's so sweet of you! Yeah, let's go right now! [Céline] Excellent! Let this tea party, the first of many, commence! --- S ---
