that was him telling you about it? don't tell me Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd has managed to be subtle when he's not trying to be?!
Either way! He could point that out, but what Sylvain says last is what really catches his attention. ]
Excuse me? "Not a weird gift"? I seem to recall you pestering me about that dagger since the day I told you about it, reminding me at every given opportunity of how completely inappropriate a gift it had been! Why, you downright called me inexperienced!
[Details, Dimitri! He wants all the juicy details! You know, the ones he always offers up when no one has asked for them.]
Pestering you about not knowing what giving someone a blade MEANT. Not pestering you that it was a weird gift!
It's the whole being oblivious about what giving her a dagger means that we're teasing you about!
If you like/liked her then giving her a dagger makes perfect sense... and was like proposing marriage. Which is pretty cute.
[Look, all of them had some interesting stories from when they were ten. Dimitri had given an age appropriate girl a dagger, Sylvain had hit on a milf. Tomatoe, tomahto.]
[ Yes, well, if that's the kind of juicy details Sylvain is hoping for, he'll be left waiting for a long, long time. Dimitri still has some sense of propriety, you know!
But maybe not so much as a child, it would seem.
Give him a moment, Dimitri.exe is trying to process this. ]
I understand you take sadistic pleasure from hearing about my every failed foray into romantic overtures. On multiple occasions, you have called me naive, and uptight, and surely you must have found it a hoot and a half. And for many years, [ and perhaps against his better judgement ] I have both trusted your advice and allowed you to keep stringing me along.
But you cannot seriously expect that, at this point in life, I would still fall for such a blatant attempt at tricking me! First of all, I know very well that blades are seen as tools of destiny in Faerghus, and more importantly, proposals are made with rings!
[ He knows his stuff! Also don't call him cute, he's not ten anymore! Foot stomp!! ]
Come on, your majesty! I've only ever tried to help you. The advice works for ME! [Sort of. In the way that stepping out in front of traffic works if you want to be hit by a car.]
I've never set you up for failure, your majesty. Sure, sometimes the situations you manage to get yourself into are pretty funny but it's because they were never my intention that they're so amusing. I guess I'm just terrible at giving advice...
Regardless! I'm not trying to trick you! Ask anyone. Ask Felix or Ingrid. Or, I guess, just Felix. Tools of destiny, exactly!, and when given to someone you care about are almost the same as an engagement ring. You're basically saying you wish your destiny and theirs would intertwine. Get it?
