Ancient Astrology (Alcamoth - west of Melfica Road)
Melia: Whatever’s the matter, Sharla? Why are you standing here?
Sharla: The stars… They’re beautiful, aren’t they? Knowing that they’re the same stars I see back home… It makes me feel at peace.
Melia: Yes, I feel it too…
Sharla: Melia… You know anything about fortune telling?
Melia: [It’s nothing but mumbo jumbo.] – It’s patently false, and I refuse to believe in such drivel.
Sharla: I don’t know, Melia. There’s definitely some truth to it.
Melia: Yet if I asked you for proof, would you have any to give?
Sharla: Well… maybe not. But if it was 100% accurate, it wouldn’t be called fortune telling.
Melia: That… almost makes sense…
Sharla: Trust me, Melia. I know a little about this sort of thing! How about we do a reading? What star sign are you?
Melia: [I will not answer that.] – Tell me what you intend to read about me first.
Sharla: How compatible you are with Shulk, of course!
Melia: Why would you care?!
Sharla: It’s more that I thought you might care.
Melia: I… do not need to know…
Sharla: Then this won’t interest you at all. Shulk was born a Pedagogue. If you happened to be a Rhapsodist… Well, you’d be a perfect match!
Melia: But… I am a Rhapsodist! Could it be true?!
Sharla: Melia? You OK?
Melia: Oh, er, it’s nothing. I was just thinking about… Riki. That’s all!
Melia: Whatever’s the matter, Sharla? Why are you standing here?
Sharla: The stars… They’re beautiful, aren’t they? Knowing that they’re the same stars I see back home… It makes me feel at peace.
Melia: Yes, I feel it too…

Sharla: That’s great news!
Melia: It is? Wh-why?!
Sharla: Shulk’s is the Pedagogue. You guys are a perfect match!
Melia: We are?!
Sharla: You’re a lucky girl, Melia.
Melia: S-such things do not impress me. I cannot share your enthusiasm.
Sharla: I know you’re smiling inside!
Melia: How dare you! But, erm… You really think we’re a match?!
Sharla: Aha! You’re interested after all! It’s true. When the stars align, two lovers’ destinies are set!
Melia: I feel more confident, but I shall remain… cautiously optimistic.

Sharla: Melia… You know anything about fortune telling?
Melia: [Of course I do!] + It’s about telling the future based on one’s star sign.
Sharla: That’s right! I thought only Homs knew about fortune telling…
Melia: I know nothing of its origins. But practitioners have existed for countless generations.
Sharla: Amazing to think that people of old looked up at the same sky as us.
Melia: Quite amazing, yes.
Sharla: So, do you believe in fortune telling?
Melia: [No, I do not.] – Making grand predictions based on the movement of the stars? It’s preposterous.
Sharla: I don’t know. Sometimes it’s surprisingly accurate.
Melia: But fortune tellers only tell you what you already know.
Sharla: Melia… You star sign is the Rhapsodist. Am I right?
Melia: You are correct. But how did you know?
Sharla: The power of fortune telling! Basically, you’re a typical Rhapsodist. You’re a perfectionist, and firm in your beliefs.
Melia: Do you mean to say I am inflexible and stubborn? Is that it?! Although, now that you mention it… you’re not exactly wrong.
Sharla: It’s working! I barely said a thing, but she’s starting to believe me!
Melia: Whatever’s the matter, Sharla? Why are you standing here?
Sharla: The stars… They’re beautiful, aren’t they? Knowing that they’re the same stars I see back home… It makes me feel at peace.
Melia: Yes, I feel it too…

Sharla: So, do you believe in fortune telling?
Melia: [Yes, I do.] + Is it unbecoming of me to dabble in such things?
Sharla: No! Not at all, Melia. All girls love this stuff! Don’t you worry yourself.
Melia: Oh, thank goodness. I always wondered, you know!
Sharla: Tell me, Melia. What’s your star sign?
Melia: The Rhapsodist. How about you, Sharla?
Sharla: My star sign’s the Perfumer. You and me have great compatibility, Melia!
Melia: I had guessed as much!
Sharla: Haha! Wow, Melia… You’re even better at reading people than me!
