So I'll tell you because I don't like kind people making poor deals. Often times, a base price exists for an item. I'll use an example of... Oh - a First Aid Kit, which is normally 10 Vouchers. All Dorm Heads can add or subtract two from any price, so it can cost as little as 8 Vouchers, or as much as 12.
Now, Dorm Heads have an incentive to get as many Vouchers as possible as they translate to points for our Dorm. So I love to do a little haggling, even with those not from my Dorm. But it's also my personal code to give full discounts to health and safety items, or sentimental items. I don't like keeping those things from people - but exchanges are required. Nothing can be free, even if an item is normally 2 Vouchers, it can only be decreased down to 1.
So make sure you get a good deal when you haggle. [there's a smile to her voice] I try to make sure that no one ever regrets an exchange with me, at least. That's part of my pride, too.
I like to play games - but I think they're much less fun if other people don't know the rules. So should you need anything in the future, I hope you remember me.
There's something I'd like to do if I win Dorm Wars - so I will do my best to earn it.
I'm not entirely sure either - and even if I win, I'd have to negotiate my ideal space with the rest of my Dorm.
[she hums thoughtfully]
But... if I can get the mechanics in place, and if I can truly build what I'd like - then I want to create a sanctuary. I am not so bold to think that I could build a utopia, but something like...
A place where those without means - especially children - don't have to worry about a roof over their head, or where their next meal will come from. I have a lot of ideas... but that is the gist of it.

Byleth, how much do you know about the Voucher Exchange system?
no subject
[she admits that much, at least.]
I can ask the dormitory leaders to exchange them for things.

Do you all specialize differently...?

Viola...
Thank you.
[and she genuinely means it.]
You've been nothing but helpful to me. I truly appreciate it.

she's taking theoretical physics, thank god, but.]
It's hard to imagine how that would work.

[she watches bouncy little chick viola, and hums.]
...This was supposed to just be relaxing, though. I'm sorry.
[although what they can do is severely hamstrung by the. costume.]
no subject
I am relaxed!
Maybe I'm a little odd - but thinking about grand ideas for the future or even a little bit of haggling is a good time for me.
I'm sorry if it's not very fun for you though - we can certainly do something else.
no subject
I was worried I was boring you with it.

This conversation has already made me feel betterāeven mistakenly.
[this new dimitri information has brightened her day]
no subject
[and then just a little curious - ]
Is this your way of admitting that you weren't feeling entirely well before?
no subject
she looks a little embarrassed about it, but nods.]
I'm not normally the only one watching him.
no subject
[there's a smile to her voice - ]
I'm here to provide support and - well, Winter Dorm cares for him too. They're very sweet people.
no subject
That's true.
Thank you again. I do think he's improving, too.
no subject
I find it easy to work with people who ultimately have a dedication to the common good of everyone. There's no reason for us to disagree.
no subject
[she goes from interested to almost immediately dropping it. not her business, as previously stated.]
...That's good to hear, too. You're good company to talk things through with, Viola.
no subject
[and her voice seems to reflect that, like you can hear the smile in it]
I think you're good company to speak with as well, Byleth.
no subject
...Is there anything you are able to do in that outfit?
[it would be nice to... do something together?]
no subject
Walk around? Hmm... I broke a few things with someone earlier - on purpose, just for fun.
no subject
What did you break?
no subject
I summoned them for the purpose of breaking them, so it wasn't an issue - would you like to smash some? It does wonders for stress relief!
no subject
that clearly caught her off guard.]
Vases?
Where?
no subject
I'll make sure to clean up after so no one gets hurt by the shards.
