Melia's Imperial Villa

Melia's Imperial Villa is a Heart-to-Heart in Xenoblade Chronicles. It is located in the Imperial Villa in Alcamoth. This Heart-to-Heart can be seen only when Fiora and Melia are at green affinity or above and if they are both in the active party.

Introduction
Melia: This is the Imperial Villa. I spent my childhood here with my mother.

Fiora: Oh, I’m sorry. If I'd known, I wouldn’t have barged in.

Melia: Don't be silly. It's quite all right. In fact, I'm glad that you in particular have come to see it.

Fiora: [Thanks!] That means a lot to me. And it really is a lovely home!

Melia: I'm glad you think so.

Fiora: But... something about it seems... sad. Lonely, almost.

Melia: You think so too. This place has always had a lonely feel to it...

Fiora: [So it's not just me then...]  I'm sorry, Melia. I didn't mean to say anything that would upset you.

Melia: You did nothing of the sort. The truth is, my mother passed away some time ago. It's probably because of that.

Fiora: Oh... That means you're just like me. My mother died when I was young as well.

Melia: Your brother told me.

Fiora: My mother's room is still as it was. Full of memories, but so empty. I somehow get the same sense from this place.

Melia: Not everyone has had that kind of experience. No wonder you can recognise the feel of this place.

Fiora: I hope you'll always look after this place. The garden's amazing. I would love to hang out here again. It's really growing on me!

Melia: And I'd love for you to visit again. I'm glad it’s made such an impression on you.

Melia: You think so too. This place has always had a lonely feel to it...

'Fiora: [Oh, sorry. I was just kidding!]' Wait, you mean it's true? Wow! I wasn't being serious.

Melia: That was meant to be a joke?! What kind of joke is that?! I suggest you keep such jokes to yourself in the future.

Fiora: Sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. You really think it feels lonely here?

Melia: I do, yes. My mother passed away some time ago, but her memories remain. I suspect that's the reason.

Fiora: I didn't know. That's sad. I lost my mother too. It was when I was quite young... So we have more in common than you might think.

Melia: I'm glad we can be so open with one another, Fiora.

Fiora: Me too! Do you wanna chat some more? I'd love to know about your mum.

Melia: Really? That would be nice. I don’t often get the chance to talk to anyone about her.

Fiora: [Really?] I mean, we're sort of friends now, but we only just met.

Melia: Oh... So you don't value the short time we've spent together? I know I do.

Fiora: Melia... I... No. You're right. I shouldn’t have said that. You know, Melia, you're... something else.

Melia: Something else? How maddeningly vague!

Fiora: [What I meant was...] You never mince your words and you're always upfront.

Melia: You really think so? I've never thought about myself that way before.

Fiora: It's just like you said. We've only spent a short time together, but it's meant so much.

Melia: I did say that. But it was obvious enough already. What point are you making?

Fiora: That's it! Right there. You speak your mind to anyone, and people respect you for it. You're everything I ever imagined a princess to be.

Melia: I am? Your words fill me with a sense of pride in my upbringing. But I find myself jealous of you.

Fiora: Jealous? Really?

Melia: Oh... forget I said anything. Hmm, perhaps a change of scenery is in order. The next room is...

Melia: Something else? How maddeningly vague!

Fiora: [You don't know what I meant?] There's no need to be modest.

Melia: But... I wasn't! I simply did not understand your point!

Fiora: But it was you that said the most important part. That we've only spent a short time together, but it's meant so much.

Melia: I did say that, yes. But what of it? I was merely stating the obvious.

Fiora: That there! That’s what I mean! It's the way you’re brutally honest. I'm the total opposite. I hope you don't mind me saying so, but I think you're kind of cool.

Melia: I must admit, no one has ever told me that. You're an interesting character yourself, Fiora.

Fiora: I am? I've never really felt like that. But thank you all the same!

Melia: Hmph. So carefree... I think I'm beginning to see what Shulk likes about you.
