Somehow, yeah. She wanted ta see the world too, and when the guild she was travelin' with agreed ta do some work fer Don Whitehorse, he sent me ta keep an eye on them.
[You know, he was just fine until "did you two get along well"? He knows what the answer aught to be. She aught to have never spoken to him again.]
Too kind and naive fer her own good, everything she knew about the world before traveling she learned in a book. Lucky she's got some good friends who're always willin' ta get her out of trouble. [It sounds sort of negative but there's something in his expression that's distantly fond.]
About as much as the rest of that group, they're pretty exhausting. [So yes, he's fond.]
If someone as prickly as Rita can be friends with a princess like Estelle, you ought a be able to, no problem. [Using Rita as an example because he's obviously not allowed to call himself Estelle's friend anymore.]
Well, if ya think about it, all that makes her different than you is who her parents are, y'know? Nobles can be just as bad or good as normal people. So if she seems like a good person, I don't see why she wouldn't be friends with someone like yerself.
No problem. I'd say ya can come talk to me anytime, but given what you've decided yer doing, that seems pretty inevitable. [Watching over him and all....]

[But he wasn't depending on a scholarship.]
What do you wanna do with yourself after ya graduate?
no subject
Oh, I want to travel the world! As soon as I've finished my studies... I'd like to see as much of the world as I can.
I'm very excited about the possibility of being able to do so.

Reminds me of a princess I know.
[Just casually mentioning he knows a princess I guess.]
That's a good goal to have. The more of the world you see, the bigger picture you can think about.

Of... a princess? Mister Raven, you know a princess?

I cannot believe I share my dream with a princess...!
What was she like, Mister Raven? Was she kind? Did you two get along well?

Coming from you, Mister Raven... that means you must be fond of her, right?
[She smiles a little, leaning back against the couch.]
A real life princess... amazing. I can't imagine being friends with a real one.

I see... I will continue to do my best as well! You see... there is a princess who goes to my school.
But she is so wonderful and amazing, I cannot imagine she would ever wish to be friends with a dull girl like me.
So... this all makes me very happy to hear...!

... I suppose that is true...
Still, it all seems a little out of my reach.
[A beat, and she shakes her head, clearing her throat.]
Um, regardless...! Thank you for listening, Mister Raven. And for speaking with me as well.

I certainly intend to! Though for now... I suppose I will leave you be, Mister Raven.
Still, thank you for speaking with me tonight.
no subject
[But yeah.]
But I'm sure you need yer beauty sleep. Goodnight, Ange.
