Back at home in Auldrant, one of the servants at the manor is a gardener. His name's Pere... I told you about how I've been locked up there most of my life, right? The maids, knights and servants were the only company I had, though Natalia visited me sometimes...

[... Nngh. He'll pause a little, but then keep himself going.]

It gets kind of boring when you've got nothing to do, you know? Father didn't like it, but I'd talk to Pere a lot. He'd tell me about all the different kinds of plants he took care of, and even some he didn't. [He chuckles a little as he says the next part:] I didn't really pay attention at first, but once I realized just how beautiful all those flowers are, and that he was the one that made them that way... Heh, I kept asking to have some of my own.
