Over the past year she has been told more than once and by more than one person that she should do more to make herself happy, especially while she is free from responsibilities.

"Dimitri has been here nearly as long as I have. Ashe is also here. I share a building with Ferdinand and Constance von Nuvelle. Seteth and Flayn are here as well. Claude, Hilda, Mercedes, Annette, and Sylvain have all been here before, although I don't believe any of them are now." A short pause. "You have been here before, and I have met more than one Dorothea."

"I did not imagine that you would be so amenable, but I appreciate your willingness to help."
