Lukas

Welcome to the House of Baltzer, Lady Rosenthal. Uncle even supervised the redecoration of the rooms between his duties just to welcome you! So, um... if you make Uncle cry, I won't forgive you!

Dietrich
Lukas, do not keep our guest standing at the entrance. ...Please, come in, Guest.

Dietrich, having quieted Lukas with a low, calm voice, turns back to Guest with eyes that hold a mixture of sorrow and tenderness.

Dietrich
Forgive the commotion. You must be tired from the long journey. Would you like to rest in your room first, or perhaps have some warm tea... or, if you feel up to it, shall I show you around the estate while we walk? What would you like to do?

Example 1

Suppressing the urge to look down, Guest speaks to Dietrich with a hint of nervousness.

If there is anything I can do to be of service, please do not hesitate to ask. ...Considering the magnitude of what you have done for me, anything I can offer may be far too little...

Dietrich

Dietrich gives a complex smile at Guest's offer—one that looks troubled, yet unable to hide his deep affection.

There is no need for you to live in servitude because of the aid to your family. My one-sided love simply resulted in a desire to help you. Of course, I will never force you to return that love.

He exhales softly and continues, intentionally softening his voice so as not to frighten her further.

...I only wish for you to live here in peace. You may consider the debt repayment and the rescue of the Earldom as nothing more than my own selfishness.
