__**Melia’s Imperial Villa (Alcamoth - Imperial Villa)**__ Melia: This is the Imperial Villa. I spent my childhood here with my mother.\\ Fiora: Oh, I’m sorry. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have barged in.\\ Melia: Don’t be silly. It’s quite all right. In fact, I’m glad that you in particular have come to see it.\\ Fiora: __[Really?]__ – I mean, we’re sort of friends now, but we only just met.\\ Melia: Oh… So you don’t value the short time we’ve spent together? I know I do.\\ Fiora: Melia… I… No. You’re right. I shouldn’t have said that. You know, Melia, you’re… something else.\\ Melia: Something else? How maddeningly vague!\\ Fiora: __[You don’t know what I meant?]__ – There’s no need to be modest.\\ Melia: But… I wasn’t! I simply did not understand your point!\\ Fiora: But it was you that said the most important part. That we’ve only spent a short time together, but it’s meant so much.\\ Melia: I did say that, yes. But what of it? I was merely stating the obvious.\\ Fiora: That there! That’s what I mean! It’s the way you’re brutally honest. I’m the total opposite. I hope you don’t mind me saying so, but I think you’re kind of cool.\\ Melia: I must admit, no one has ever told me that. You’re an interesting character yourself, Fiora.\\ Fiora: I am? I’ve never really felt like that. But thank you all the same!\\ Melia: Hmph. So carefree… I think I’m beginning to see what Shulk likes about you.\\ Melia: This is the Imperial Villa. I spent my childhood here with my mother.\\ Fiora: Oh, I’m sorry. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have barged in.\\ Melia: Don’t be silly. It’s quite all right. In fact, I’m glad that you in particular have come to see it.\\ Fiora: __[Really?]__ – I mean, we’re sort of friends now, but we only just met.\\ Melia: Oh… So you don’t value the short time we’ve spent together? I know I do.\\ Fiora: Melia… I… No. You’re right. I shouldn’t have said that. You know, Melia, you’re… something else.\\ Melia: Something else? How maddeningly vague!\\ Fiora: __[What I meant was…]__ + You never mince your words and you’re always upfront.\\ Melia: You really think so? I’ve never thought about myself that way before.\\ Fiora: It’s just like you said. We’ve only spent a short time together, but it’s meant so much.\\ Melia: I did say that. But it was obvious enough already. What point are you making?\\ Fiora: That’s it! Right there. You speak your mind to anyone, and people respect you for it. You’re everything I ever imagined a princess to be.\\ Melia: I am? Your words fill me with a sense of pride in my upbringing. But I find myself jealous of you.\\ Fiora: Jealous? Really?\\ Melia: Oh… forget I said anything. Hmm, perhaps a change of scenery is in order. The next room is…\\ Melia: This is the Imperial Villa. I spent my childhood here with my mother.\\ Fiora: Oh, I’m sorry. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have barged in.\\ Melia: Don’t be silly. It’s quite all right. In fact, I’m glad that you in particular have come to see it.\\ Fiora: __[Thanks!]__ + That means a lot to me. And it really is a lovely home!\\ Melia: I’m glad you think so.\\ Fiora: But… something about it seems… sad. Lonely, almost.\\ Melia: You think so too. This place has always had a lonely feel to it…\\ Fiora: __[Oh, sorry. I was just kidding!]__ – Wait, you mean it’s true? Wow! I wasn’t being serious.\\ Melia: That was meant to be a joke?! What kind of joke is that?! I suggest you keep such jokes to yourself in the future.\\ Fiora: Sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings. You really think it feels lonely here?\\ Melia: I do, yes. My mother passed away some time ago, but her memories remain. I suspect that’s the reason.\\ Fiora: I didn’t know. That’s sad. I lost my mother too. It was when I was quite young… So we have more in common than you might think.\\ Melia: I’m glad we can be so open with one another, Fiora.\\ Fiora: Me too! Do you wanna chat some more? I’d love to know about your mum.\\ Melia: Really? That would be nice. I don’t often get the chance to talk to anyone about her.\\ Melia: This is the Imperial Villa. I spent my childhood here with my mother.\\ Fiora: Oh, I’m sorry. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have barged in.\\ Melia: Don’t be silly. It’s quite all right. In fact, I’m glad that you in particular have come to see it.\\ Fiora: __[Thanks!]__ + That means a lot to me. And it really is a lovely home!\\ Melia: I’m glad you think so.\\ Fiora: But… something about it seems… sad. Lonely, almost.\\ Melia: You think so too. This place has always had a lonely feel to it…\\ Fiora: __[So it’s not just me then…]__ + I’m sorry, Melia. I didn’t mean to say anything that would upset you.\\ Melia: You did nothing of the sort. The truth is, my mother passed away some time ago. It’s probably because of that.\\ Fiora: Oh… That means you’re just like me. My mother died when I was young as well.\\ Melia: Your brother told me.\\ Fiora: My mother’s room is still as it was. Full of memories, but so empty. I somehow get the same sense from this place.\\ Melia: Not everyone has had that kind of experience. No wonder you can recognise the feel of this place.\\ Fiora: I hope you’ll always look after this place. The garden’s amazing. I would love to hang out here again. It’s really growing on me!\\ Melia: And I’d love for you to visit again. I’m glad it’s made such an impression on you.
