...Yes, true.

[Without further delay, Ike picks up the knife and carefully cuts two pieces, both roughly medium-sized.]

[classier]

[Maribelle, for some reason, will reveal the fact that she keeps fancy plates and silverware in her luggage, although careful thought may make the conclusion that this isn't terribly surprising. She lays the fine china on the table.]

Oh! Perhaps a bit too much for me there. ...Would you mind keeping some of it for yourself?

[blue_flames]

...Huh? But I tried to cut them the same size.

Or are you concerned about your weight? You look fine to me.

[Ike: Master of tact.]

1/2

[classier]

Wha -- Excuse me?!

[classier]

I'll have you know I maintain a strict regimen of aerobic exercise and daily strength training in addition to the natural athleticism required for proper equestrian form!

...

Now hurry up and cut that piece in halves again!

[blue_flames]

Hey, hey, I was just --

--actually, wait. I should just shut my mouth now.

[Resigning himself to cutting the pieces smaller.]

[classier]

Hmph.

[Maribelle huffs before settling back down in her seat.]

Now. Where were we again?...

Oh, yes, your company. Carry on.

[blue_flames]

...Oh. Right. Well...

I told you about my father, right? When I inherited the company from him, I made sure to keep pressing down that road. I know the company values that belief just as much as I do.

[classier]

[Maribelle draws her plate closer and holds it in her lap as Ike speaks.]

...Yes, I believe I understand what you mean. ...It seems you've opened my mind - I'd never considered it in this light before, but I suppose it's much the same way with our company here. Perhaps we aren't all... friendly with each other, but we are, still, family. It's why I strive to ensure that I am of use to Lord Chrom, no matter what the task may be.

...And why I tolerate the buffoonery of Vaike, but that's an insight for another day.

[blue_flames]

[That gets a laugh.]

He's quite a character, isn't he? I didn't think axemen could get more boisterous than Boyd, but he smashed those expectations. You know how many times he's challenged me to duels?
