[dorte loves character growth if it means Sylvain will stay right here and hold up his weight, except
wait?? you mean he didn't immediately recognize him like dorte did sylvain? sylvain?? dorte... HUFFS, straight into Sylvain's hair.
Marianne does not Huff, but she does come closer, her realization that "is that really Sylvain" turning into "that's REALLY Sylvain?! he's taller?? why did he grow so tall??" and other mundane thoughts that Marianne does not in fact voice, instead]
Y-yes, that's Dorte -- and yes, we came together, um, he actually showed up the day after I arrived...! I'm not sure how... [but she's glad dorte did, and now she's babbling,] But I'm glad Dorte recognized you, Sylvain! He's missed so many of his friends from the Academy...
[this really be the first thing that comes to Marianne's mind right NOW, but it really has been a very long time since she's seen anyone else from the Golden Deer, and the way Dorte is very affectionately nuzzling Sylvain tells her that he must have missed him!!]
