[ CORN ] & [ GOSSIP ]
The moment he finally spots her, Berkut quickly runs over. Already having this new snack in hand, he had applied just some salt and butter. Of course as he approaches he gives a respectful nod.
"Professor, delightful to see you of course, but have you seen what's happening over there?" Pointing with one hand, he gestures towards a certain fight taking place, staring some random woman, and a certain two-tone haired girl. "I must say, this is far more entertaining than I thought. Care to have a snack as we watch?" Berkut lifts the small bag of popped corn, helping himself even as he watches.
She takes one, if only out of curiosity. It's... hm.
Hm. There's a subtle crisp to it that's not entirely unpleasant, but it also manages to be... airy? It's difficult to describe, but she's fond enough of the flavor profile to take another. (So, for the third time: hm. Of the dishes she's tried so far since arriving in Fódlan, she thinks she's rather fond of this one.)
"They're just two untrained cats scratching at each other. I wouldn't exactly consider this entertaining."
So she says, but she's been watching the whole while, which must count for something. When Baldr looks to gain the upper hand, she even manages a small, amused smile—until the tables turn, and the smile drops into a look of mild annoyance.
The whole affair is terribly messy and embarrassingly childish, but she doesn't expect anything less. One woman had made an utter fool out of herself during that event with the dreadful illusions in the arena; the other is the vaunted Divine Dragon, hero and savior of her land—and she is currently rolling around in a mess of flower petals, painting herself a fool.
"But I suppose it was a long time coming. I did happen to overhear that this all occurred because the Divine Dragon wished to court both her date and Baldr at the same time, but was summarily rejected."
Granted, it was simply one passing student's guess, but it's not like she's exactly wrong in saying that's what she heard, right?
