Reasons for madness [Suikoden Tierkreis, Asad/Chrodechild, T]
“I never thought the mating ritual of humans could be this entertaining.”
“Mating ritual? What are you talking about? Speaking of which, I wonder how it goes in the Roar tribe.”
“Usually the men will bring over the meat from their hunting and present it to the women - that’s the customary way. I recently saw Lord Diulf tore off a chunk of meat from a roasted Pekklar to Servillah, and that’s it.”
“Th-that seemed quite peculiar. But whatever did you say about this human’s mating ritual?”
“So it was okay for a human man to bring the woman food he didn’t hunt or procure by himself. But Wustum’s cooking is too hard to deny, I know that.”
“--Here you go, one Herbed Raparo for the Lady Chrodechild. What are you two talking about?”
“Oh, Asad, she was just telling me about the Furious Roar’s mating ritual and-where are you going, Lycia?”
“Enjoy the food. I’m leaving so the two of you can accomplish the ritual.”
“What ritual? …Why is she giving you a thumb up, Asad?”
“*cough* Gee, I wonder why?”
-
“She’s laughing - I’ve never seen her laugh like that. What did he say? What did he say to her? Roberto, what did he say to her?!”
“Princess, you’re standing closer to them than me. Whatever gave you the idea I might actually hear what they’re talking about?”
“Sshhh! Roberto! We’re currently spying on them. Try not to make any ruckus.”
“Can the two of you please stop getting your hands on my ingredient cabinet? I already gave the permission to enter my kitchen, what’s so hard to understand with the line ‘Do NOT touch anything’?”
“Chef Wustum, please forgive our rude intrusion into your sacred haven and please put the kitchen knives down, but Princess Fredegund felt the need to spy on Princess Chrodechild’s date with Asad and prevent it from -”
“Roberto, quiet down! I can’t hear a word they’re saying. And Wustum, stop talking to us, you might reveal our location-why are you shaking your head at me?”
“Love inspires us to greatness.”
“I think he considered the act of you spying on your sister’s date to protect her was somehow admirable.”
“Why, thank you, Wu-- my sister and Asad are leaving! Roberto, hurry, after them!”
“Ouch! P-princess, you’re choking me!”
“NO running in my kitchen!”

“My dear Lady Chrodechild, since today you’re as lovely as ever, you arrival has grace our worn down castle roof in to a magnificent open air garden. But it saddens me to think you’re not here to see me, and accompanied by Asad instead. Come now, will you ditch him and go with me someplace else private so I can gaze lovingly into your so brilliant blue eyes and whisper sweet praises into your ears?”
“Actually my eyes are green, Icas. Be careful of what you’re saying, Morrin is giving you a look.”
“Morrin! Wait, wait, you misunderstand! I’m not flirting with the princess! Honest! Don’t you know that I love everybody equally? I said-owowowoouch”
“And there she goes with her brother in tow. I’ve never seen someone perform such stunning ear-pulling technique. Maybe we should employ Morrin as our new Magician.”
“Really, Asad. But I hardly doubt you’d have much trouble with your skills.”
“Not that we really need any new magicians, since the Magedom was no longer…”
“…I’m sorry for what happened. But please keep in mind that when everything’s over, you’re welcome anytime in our Astrasia.”
“Is that true, Lady Chrodechild? I’d love for that to happen.”
“Of course! You’ve always been a dear comrade and friend to me. I’d hate to see that change.”
“…”
*THUMP*
“Bosche? Bosche, are you all right? Why are you lying in the floor and clutching your mouth like that?”
“Please forgive him, Princess Chrodechild. My husband is just too overwhelmed with emotion. Come now dear, let’s not interrupt the Lady’s dat -- meeting.”
“Haaaaa hahahahaha!!! Oh, my stomach, Lathilda, I-I can’t stand it! Haaaaa hahahahahaha!!!”
-
“She said friend. Friend, right?”
“And Comrade. --Wait, wait, princess! Where are you going?”
“I am going back to my room. My worst fear has proven to be wrong.”
“…for now.”
“When the time comes, can I rely on you again, Roberto?”
“Only if Meruvis didn’t beat me to it first.”
