[Sieglinde doesn't like being chastised, being lectured, or... really, being denied anything. She had been raised without parents, given reign over a manor and a village, and as long as she continued her work on the Ultimate Magic... she was allowed to do it in whatever way she pleased.
But Olivia's words, for some reason upset with her, (probably for another of her failings, failing to understand friends), are ringing in her ears still, and Sieglinde tries to pause. Closes her eyes. Inhales. Exhales.]
... so the both of you think that your presence will somehow allow me to work better? Somehow make up for Masamune's transfer?
[One of the benefits to growing up in a village like she had was that no one had ever left. No one had ever died. She'd never had to deal with things like loss, before ALASTAIR, before Gilgamesh, before... Masamune.
Didn't know what one was supposed to do with the gaping hole in her heart. Didn't know why people kept saying they could do something about it, when they weren't him.]
