Clinging to DignitySummary
Hildegarde seems rather displeased with the cheery Valentine's atmosphere permeating the castle. And while she's typically a rigid woman, she takes her attitude a step too far this time. Sensing her unusual level of tension, the prince decides to check in with her.
Dialogue
Valentine's Hildegarde: ...Hmph.
Mym: Uh oh. She's even scowlier than usual.
Notte: I think it's because everyone's all cheerful and excited for Valentine's.
Mym: And what, pray tell, is wrong with being happy and excited about something? We're just trying to show our friends and loved ones that we care for them!
Notte: Hey, don't yell at me! I love Valentine's! But she was saying it's too "frivolous."
Mym: I mean, it's a special occasion—there's no harm in getting a LITTLE excited. Isn't that right, darling? After all, I want you to know EXACTLY how much I care about you. So make sure you're ready to accept every last bit of my love!
Valentine's Hildegarde: Have you no sense of modesty at all?! No shame?! Fie on you!
Mym: Would you please refrain from shrieking in my ear like that?
Notte: What is your DEAL, lady?! I know you're a stickler for stuff, but you usually aren't this...intense. What happened?
Valentine's Hildegarde: Nothing "happened." I simply find your frivolous attitudes to be completely intolerable.
Mym: Well, THAT certainly killed the mood. I need a break, fast. ...Oh, I know! Would you care to join me for some random fiend-slaying, darling?
Notte: Hey, good idea! We actually got a request to deal with some fiends earlier.
Mym: It would be a perfect distraction. Come now, off we go!
Valentine's Hildegarde: I'll not behave like the rest of you. I will maintain some semblance of dignity!
