[fish goes into the pan! and she just nods in response]
That's correct. I had a bit of bad luck in my previous institutions. My brother always outperformed me regardless...

I'm sorry to hear about your luck. I hope it's improved since.
[she's crying the fish, watching it brown in the pan.]
Did your brothers attend here, as well?

[she shakes her head at that]
No, he's still in the capital. He's a few years my junior, but he was always much more concentrated on his studies. He's rather impressive.
But I am quite fortunate, and much happier here.

What was it about Wiwaldi that made it better than the capital?

[lmao. her expression turns a bit withering]
Less frivolous priorities, backstabbing, and false pretenses?
[a beat]
... well, I could pick a less rude answer, but mine is nonetheless honest.

[she giggles then, unrepentant]
I think my reasoning for preferring Wiwaldi is clear. High society may appear to suit me, but that doesn't mean I like it.
And I think I'm worse at it than many might expect anyway.

The most important thing is that you're happy.
To that end, to me, it doesn't matter what people expect of you.

An excellent way of thinking! I hope to pursue that type of life one day, hopefully.
For now, I'll manage expectations and myself as much as I can.

That's a good way of looking at it.
You must be the top of your class, Viola.
[she stops, and reconsiders.]
I meant... the more traditional classes.

[she smiles]
I work hard to maintain my studies so I may excel in my future. But I don't think it's anything particularly grand.

[byleth flips the fish, and spoons melted butter over the other side, silent for a moment.]
In the larger scheme of things, I suppose not.
But excelling at anything is reason to celebrate. It's an indicator of greater things.

Maybe so...
I just like to keep busy. It's nice when there's fruits of my efforts to revel in - but mostly I think I want to ensure I'm in a good position to help others.
