She deserves to be taken care of. She seems to be the first and only Mirrorbound child, and that puts her in an especially precarious position, and all of us are not in the best place. I've...used my upbringing to begin building wealth through trade, so I feel like the right thing to do is to take care of those who can't really take care of themselves.
I will do my best. I... am not bound to any person here, by oath or otherwise, so I try to look out for the whole as best I can. But I will make sure that she, at least, earns some special attention.
[ She was never a good father. She never allowed herself to indulge in emotions.
If you like. Though, don't put yourself out over it.
[Edelgard's eyes flicker with an amused smile.]
I've managed to use the money that I made through initial odd jobs to invest in trade from Dorchacht, and one of their primary exports is alcohol. I have a fair bit of it on hand.

[ There's something there that reminds her of her own knights. Her inner circle, who she could rely on, almost without fail. ]
I know what it means to have people who will follow you to the bitter end.
no subject
It's comforting, yes. Knowing people share your dream....
[She sighs, then shakes her head to ward off the melancholic spell.]
Sorry, I can't help but miss them, too. Even if it's better that they aren't here.

[ She's curious. Genuinely so. ]
no subject
[As much as she'd like to see them.]

[ It's a rhetorical question and Saber nods in approval. ]
I cannot watch over her myself, but I'm glad someone is. I try to keep an eye out for her, but... she does tend to wander, does she not?
no subject
She does. [Edelgard smiles wryly.]
Though I feel like she's so friendly that most Mirrorbound look out for her.
no subject
[ She breathes out with a low, soft sigh. ]
I... am admittedly not used to children, but I try to do what I can for her.
no subject
[She laughs softly.]
Children are a lot of energy. But she's quite a darling.
no subject
[ Saber manages a little smile. ]
Please do continue to look after her.
no subject
[Not till she gets to send the girl home, hopefully better off than when she arrived.]
Please, continue keep an eye out for her as well.

To...continuing an interesting acquaintanceship?

[ She raises her cup in reply, a ghost of a smile tugging at her expression. ]
One day I would be interested in hearing about your philosophy regarding kings...
no subject
[Just not now.]
Let's arrange a time, soon.
no subject
[ She glances at her cup. ]
And perhaps best discussed over something other than tea.
no subject
[Edelgard laughs softly.]
That's certainly manageable.
no subject
Certainly. Although I would feel obliged to provide a bottle.
