=== Etie & Panette ===

[Etie]
Hey, Panette. How's it going?
[Panette]
Quite well, thank you.
[Panette]
You appear to be in good health yourself, Etie.
[Etie]
Yep. Good eye.
[Etie]
Hmm.
[Etie]
Hmm... Hmph.
[Panette]
Hm... Is something the matter?
[Etie]
Oh, sorry. I'm being rude.
[Etie]
Ahem.
[Etie]
Panette, your stylish fashion sense and refined
speech are peerless.
[Panette]
Why, thank you. That is most kind.
[Etie]
There's just one problem.
[Panette]
Oh?
[Etie]
You're hiding something.
[Panette]
Whatever do you mean? I assure you, I am not.
[Etie]
You carry yourself like a noblewoman, but...
you are not one. I smell a fake.
[Panette]
Why, that is...ludicrous! Slanderous, even!
[Etie]
So you won't admit it. Fine.
[Etie]
If being blunt won't work, I'll have to
get sneaky.
[Etie]
See you around, Panette.
[Panette]
Good gracious. Where did that come from?

[Etie]
Sorry in advance, Panette...
[Etie]
HYYYAH!
[Panette]
What the?!
[Panette]
Who's there?!
[Panette]
Whoever it is, you got three seconds to show
yourself before I crack your skull!
[Panette]
Three... Two... One...
[Etie]
Cool it, will you?! It's me!
[Panette]
Huh?!
[Panette]
Etie? What the heck are you doing here?
[Panette]
I mean... Etie! Heh, how very unexpected!
[Etie]
Heh heh, got you, Panette. You went and
showed your true colors.
[Panette]
Whatever do you mean? I was merely, uh...
[Etie]
Don't bother denying it.
[Etie]
All that hoity-toity stuff is just for show.
Right then? That was the real you.
[Etie]
This noblewoman act is completely phony.
[Panette]
No! I already told you, that is simply not true!
[Etie]
What are you so upset about? I didn't mean it
in a bad way.
[Panette]
How else could you possibly mean it?
[Etie]
I've got to run, but I'll explain some other time.
Take care.
[Panette]
Um, all right. Farewell, then.

[Etie]
Hey there, Panette. Sorry for ambushing you
the other day.
[Panette]
I must say, you gave me quite a fright.
[Etie]
I didn't do it to be mean.
[Etie]
I just wanted to get past that front you put up.
[Etie]
And the reason I did it is because...in a sense,
I'm the same way.
[Panette]
You mean...you are of common birth as well?
[Panette]
You were a wild, vulgar runaway who picked
fights with anyone who crossed her path?
[Etie]
Not all of THAT, but... Here. Go ahead and
feel my abs.
[Panette]
If you insist...
[Panette]
Good gracious me!
[Panette]
These are muscles?! It feels as if you are
smuggling bullion in here.
[Etie]
Yeah. I work out. You know any other
noblewomen with abs like these?
[Panette]
I suspect there's nary a one.
[Etie]
I might look like a lady, but deep down, I'll
never be one. You've heard that too, I bet.
[Panette]
Yes, indeed I have.
[Etie]
I knew it!
[Etie]
I thought I was the only one in the world with
this problem, but now there's two of us.
[Etie]
Maybe we can help each other out.
[Panette]
I would like that.
[Panette]
Haha, though its start was somewhat unusual,
I think this will be a wonderful friendship.
[Panette]
Etie and Panette, the rampaging redheads!
Heaven help any fool who crosses us!
[Etie]
I got you a gift! Since we're gonna be friends
and all.
[Panette]
My, what gorgeous flowers!
[Etie]
They grow in my hometown. They're associated
with eccentric ladies and true connections.
[Etie]
Seem fitting to mark the start of a friendship
between two tough gals like us.
[Panette]
It is as though this breed of flower was made
just for us. How very touching.
[Etie]
I think we'll have a lot to learn from each other.
Don't you?
[Panette]
Certainly! To start, perhaps you can tell me how
you managed that sneak attack.
