Anabelle's private quarters:
There is a knock at the door.
Anabelle:
"Who is that? Who's rude enough to come knocking this time of night?"
Viktor walks in.
Viktor:
"Hey, were you awake?"
Anabelle:
"I don't have time to sleep."
Viktor:
"In that case, how about we have a little drink?"
He holds out a bottle.
Anabelle:
"Ho ho. Sounds nice."
Fade to black. Fade to Viktor and Anabelle at the table. Viktor is filling her glass.
Viktor:
"I think you'll like this. It's from Kanakan to the south. I saved this one just to drink with you. When my fort burned down, this one bottle was all I could carry."
Anabelle:
"Mmmm, nice bouquet."
She drinks. Viktor leans forward.
Viktor:
"So how is it?"
Anabelle:
"Don't stare at me like that. I feel like you're looking right into my heart."
Viktor leans back.
Viktor:
"Sorry. Just a bad habit of mine."
Anabelle:
"That's right."
Viktor scratches his head.
Viktor:
"....You're a tough one."
Anabelle:
"Whew............... The people of this city are sleeping peacefully now. But the flames of war are coming here soon. Even if we gather all the State troops, I wonder what chance we'll have when we come face to face with Luca Blight's unit......"
Viktor:
"Well, about fifty-fifty I guess."
Anabelle:
"I can't...I mean 'We can't' lose. If we lose, we lose everything. All of those lives....... When I think about it, sometimes I get so sad I even think that maybe we should just surrender quietly......."
Viktor:
"A leader can't think that way. Everyone's fighting as hard as they can. They all have something they want to defend. You do too. Even if it's to save your life, there are some things you just don't do. At least that's the way I see it."
(I think this is particularly meaningful in contrast to the woman acting like a pig to keep Luca from killing her.)
Viktor takes a big drink.
Viktor:
"I need all my strength tomorrow. After this drink, I'm gonna get to bed. Lack of sleep makes ya weak."
He stands. Anabelle looks at him, then down at her cup.
Anabelle:
"Say, if I was born in a different time, a different place, and if I was a little shorter, I might have been a good girlfriend for you, huh."
Viktor:
"Ha ha ha. Well, you're just fine the way you are if you ask me. Maybe I'm not though."
He starts to leave. At the door, he pauses.
Viktor:
"You're a fine, well-bred lady. Me? You couldn't be seen with me. Anyway, see ya tomorrow."
He raises his hand in farewell.
