Versus Hubert

• Hubert: Running into you in the capital like this-I have to say, it's almost sentimental.
• Ferdinand: Hubert. She must leave.
• Hubert: You really think you can make her?
• Ferdinand: It does not matter what I think. Those are my orders.

Paralogue: Retribution

Post-Battle

• Lysithea: Ferdinand... Hey.
• Ferdinand: Yes?
• Lysithea: I...I don't know what to say. About your father, I mean.
• Ferdinand: No, it is all right. Some part of me was expecting this. I do not know what happened in Hyrm territory, but I am sure he got what he deserved. You knew more about it, you said? Maybe you can tell me everything later.

 Garreg Mach Monastery

Choir Practice

• "Professor! Let me sing for you! Do you not like my voice? It would make a pegasus dance with joy!"

Cooking

• "I may not look like it, but I know how to cook. Not that I am very experienced. Ach, this is a tough recipe. Whoa! Oh, rats… No, I can do it!"

Dining Hall

• "As a noble, I try to ensure my manners are perfect. Here I can relax a bit, however."
• "Delicious! After a scrumptious meal like that, I feel that I can really seize the day." (Favorite dish)
• "Ugh. This food is not to my liking, but I will keep at it. Perhaps it is an acquired taste..." (Disliked dish)

With Edelgard

Unknown Support Level

• Edelgard: Ferdinand, I hope you'll take this opportunity to speak freely to me.
• Ferdinand: Tch! I do not require your permission to speak my mind.

Unknown Support Level

• Ferdinand: I know why you sat us next to each other. You want to see who can eat more quickly.
• Edelgard: Ferdinand. Please stop making everything a competition against me.

Unknown Support Level

• Edelgard: Ferdinand, you can say what you like about me some other time. For now, let's just enjoy a nice meal.
• Ferdinand: You do not understand! It is my solemn duty as a noble to explain why you are wrong.

With Hubert

No Support

• Ferdinand: Why are we seated beside each other? I cannot enjoy my food with you sitting here.
• Hubert: Just shut up and eat.

C/B Support

• Hubert: Can we put our quarrel on hold, Ferdinand, at least while the professor is present?
• Ferdinand: Of course, Hubert. We will finish eating and then continue our fighting elsewhere.

A Support

• Hubert: I know you prefer tea. I'll prepare some, if you like.
• Ferdinand: No, I'll have coffee. It has been a while. You sit here while I pour us each a cup.

With Dorothea

Unknown Support Level

• Ferdinand: Food tastes best when you are sharing it with others. Do you not think so, Dorothea?
• Dorothea: Yes. Present company excluded, of course.

C Support

• Ferdinand: The food here is simple but well-prepared. A meal can be delicious without being fancy.
• Dorothea: Come again? I've never heard a nobleman say anything like that.

A Support

• Dorothea: Sharing a meal with your allies makes you forget the differences in where you're all from.
• Ferdinand: So, you finally approve of me?! Let us toast to that!

With Lorenz

• Lorenz: Pristine manners are essential, even if the quality of the food is poor. Wouldn't you agree, Ferdinand?
• Ferdinand: Indeed. We may not care for the meal, but we must show our respect for the person who cooked it.

Recruitment

Requirements Not Met

• "Oh, Professor! Here to recruit me, I presume? Well, the eldest son of House Aegir will not be so easily swayed!"

Requirements Met

• "Oh, Professor! Here to recruit me, I presume? You have perceived my excellence. Good. But you are not the only person trying to recruit me. I would be happy to join your class, if you are offering."
  • Invite to join your house: "Hah, I thought you would say that. I look forward to learning under you. You will soon see how superior I am to Edelgard."
  • Decline to invite: "Hm. That is disappointing. I suppose not everyone can appreciate my excellence. But I am sure you will change your mind soon."

Gifts

• "I'll take it, I suppose."
• "What a kind gift."
• "Exactly what I hoped for!"

Lost Items

• "How could you possibly think that this is mine? Go ask someone else."

Tea Party

Greeting

• "I'm honored to be invited. Thank you."

Favorite Tea

• "Ah, a miraculous brew! You truly understand tea."

Introducing Own Topic

• "You treat everyone the same, regardless of status. Perhaps I should do that as well."

Observe

• "I trim my eyebrows carefully every morning. A noble must always be well-groomed."
• "Hm. You are looking for a weak spot, are you not? Look as long as you like. You will not find any."

End

• "Thank you for spending time with me. What a treat. I hope we can do this again soon."

Tutoring

Instruct

• Great: "Your instruction has been beneficial."
• Perfect: "Never underestimate a noble!"
  • Praise: "I am quite pleased."

Group Tasks

With Hubert

• Ferdinand: I do not believe I am required to team up with you.
• Hubert: I would rather work with almost anyone else, but I will do what must be done.
• Ferdinand: Hm. Of course, we will both do what we have to. But do not drag me down to your level.

With Edelgard

C Support

• Edelgard: Our professor is certainly adventurous, but I wonder what the point was of putting us on the same team...
• Ferdinand: What? You think teaming up with me is a bad idea?
• Edelgard: Yes. Results or no results, this is far from a great idea.

Unknown Support

• Edelgard: Put your heart into it, Ferdinand! It'll be over sooner if you do.
• Ferdinand: Yes. Right. I will try not to slow you down.
• Edelgard: Nothing could slow me down for something trivial like this.

With Lorenz

• Ferdinand: Lorenz, you need not worry about this. I can handle it.
• Lorenz: No cause for concern, Ferdinand. This will hardly be difficult for me
• Ferdinand: Ah! In that case, I will take a seat and watch.

Stable Duty

• "We'll do a beautiful job, I am sure."

Weeding

• "With the two of us, there is nothing to worry about."

Sky Watch

With Lorenz

• Lorenz: The professor has the right idea, requesting us.
• Ferdinand: Yes, provided we meet expectations.
• Lorenz: Let us do more than that! Let us alter the very course of history with our own hands!

Results

Good Result

• "It is done."

With Edelgard

• Perfect result:
  • C Support
    • Ferdinand: What a splendid results! I am rather proud of myself, I must say.
    • Edelgard: Is that so? In any case, I think it's time for a break.
  • Unknown Support
    • Ferdinand: Impressive. Your skills are unparalleled. You could have done it alone just as easily.
    • Edelgard: It's not like you to say that. But honestly, we both pulled our weight.
• Good result:
  • C Support
    • Ferdinand: Hm. I was hoping we would do better.
    • Edelgard: It's a decent result for two people who don't get along terribly well.
  • Unknown Support
    • Edelgard: A decent result... at least we didn't run into any issues.
    • Ferdinand: It is my fault, I am afraid. I really dragged us down...

With Hubert

• Perfect result:
  • Ferdinand: Look at this beautiful achievement! Hubert was no help at all though.
  • Hubert: Your inability to face reality is just another reason you are inferior to Lady Edelgard.
• Good result:
  • Hubert: We could have done better if we had each been more willing to compromise.
  • Ferdinand: You are right about that. We were both stubborn for foolish reasons.

With Lorenz

• Perfect Result:
  • Ferdinand: Professor! Look upon our glorious achievement! I hope you are not blinded by its brilliance. 
  • Lorenz: All the same, you must shade your eyes and look. You would not want to miss history in the making.
• Great Result:
  • Lorenz: The expected result, for someone of my skills.
  • Ferdinand: Yes, we did quite well! All thanks to me of course.

• Good Result:
  • Ferdinand: I sought perfection, and I fell far short. I apologize.
  • Lorenz: I am also to blame. As noblemen, we must bear responsibility for our failures.

• Bad Result:
  • Lorenz: This is hardly the example I should be setting for the commonfolk.
  • Ferdinand: I wholly agree. As a noble, you should really have performed better than that.
