 * Lon'qu: ...*Ahem* I cannot focus with you leering at me.
 * Avatar: Oh! Sorry, Lon'qu. I just got caught up watching you practice. Your style is a perfect blend of accuracy, power, and speed. They really know what they're doing up in Regna Ferox.
 * Lon'qu: Strength is everything there. Weakness is weeded out and eliminated.
 * Avatar: Would you mind teaching me a few moves?
 * Lon'qu: ...I am no teacher. Besides, you are of Ylisse. The knights of your people have their own style. You would be better served learning from Frederick.
 * Avatar: Oh, I already am. But with the two styles being so different, why not learn what both can offer? It's possible a mix of the two would be stronger than either one alone.
 * Lon'qu: A naive thought. ...But not impossible. Very well. Draw your sword.
 * Avatar: Wait, we're jumping right into sparring?
 * Lon'qu: I told you, I am no teacher. You will have to learn for yourself. Come! Show me how a man of Ylissse fights! You will not be the only one to learn here.
 * Avatar: So be it!

 * Lon'qu: Here for another round?
 * Avatar: Thank you, but no. I'm still recovering from the last one... I'll say this—I'm glad we're not at war with Ferox!
 * Lon'qu: And I'm far from her strongest. I am...inexperienced, yet. Raw.
 * Avatar: I find that hard to believe. You're a beast! But I guess you got where you are now by being tough on yourself.
 * Lon'qu: No. Just truthful. If you saw what I have seen... If you saw him fight, you would know how far I have to go.
 * Avatar: You mean Khan Basilio?
 * Lon'qu: His command of his weapon lends it a weight. A...depth. I may as well be swinging a feather by comparison. Knowing his power, I would not dare call myself strong.
 * Avatar: But he's given you something to strive for. I'm envious, really.
 * Lon'qu: If you would grow stronger, find a paragon of your own to pursue. Meanwhile, if you wish to spar, you need only ask.
 * Avatar: I will, thanks.

 * Lon'qu: ......
 * Avatar: Did you need something, Lon'qu?
 * Lon'qu: It's been too long since we fought. I feared you were neglecting your training, but... Is this mountain of books all treatises on warcraft?
 * Avatar: Yes. I have to balance training my sword arm with honing my tactician's eye. We're a small force up against a big army. We need to fight smart to survive.
 * Lon'qu: ...You are a strange one. Strategist or soldier—most men make their choice and don't look back.
 * Avatar: Then I choose to be the first man to pick both. I want to keep my friends safe. And the townspeople and everyone else, too. So when my sword won't reach, I'll protect them with my tactics.
 * Lon'qu: You once said you envied me because you had no one to serve as your goal. Perhaps that's because you aim for heights no man has yet achieved.
 * Avatar: Is that what said really so revolutionary?
 * Lon'qu: What you propose is a tremendous undertaking. ...But a worthy one. I suspect there is much I can learn from you yet.

 * Avatar: Well, Lon'qu. It looks like we're partners for today's training session. You'll go easy on me, won't you?
 * Lon'qu: Hmph.
 * Avatar: ...Was that a yes or a no? In any case, let's get on with it.
 * Lon'qu: ...!
 * Avatar: 'Ha! You're as good as they say...
 * Lon'qu: Thank you.
 * Avatar: But not even bothering to draw your sword? It comes off as just a bit condescending.
 * Lon'qu: Swordplay is a man's pursuit. What does a woman know of— WHA—?
 * Avatar: HYAAAAAARGH! *pow*
 * Lon'qu: What in blazes are you doing, woman? Why are you...throwing...figs?!
 * Avatar: If you can't get close to a foe, you must engage him at long range. Basic tactics, really! I'm surprised you'd be unfamiliar with them.
 * Lon'qu: Well, no matter. It's not as if you'll ever hit me with one...
 * Avatar: Ooooh, that sounds like a challenge! All right, twinkle toes, dodge this! HIYA! HIYA! HIYA!
 * Lon'qu: S-stop it! Don't come...any closer! Please...stop tossing...figs!
 * Avatar: We have to... HIYA!...get close, to... HIYA!...train properly... HIYA!... Just a bit father...
 * Lon'qu: ARGH! I won't stand here to be pelted with fruit by a madwoman! I'm leaving!
 * Avatar: Coward! Get back here!

 * Avatar: Hello, Lon'qu. Hey, where'd you get that nasty bruise on your chin?
 * Lon'qu: ......
 * Avatar: Ah, right. Fig wound. Sorry about that. ...Gracious, it looks rather swollen.
 * Lon'qu: I never imagined you'd continue your fruity assault while I slept!
 * Avatar: But it was the only way I was ever going to hit you...
 * Lon'qu: And how reckless of you to be sneaking into my tent at night. What if you'd been seen? Imagine what people would've thought!
 * Avatar: Oh, it's all right. I know exactly when and where everyone sleeps. I made sure I wouldn't be spotted.
 * Lon'qu: I honestly cannot tell sometimes if you are a genius or a complete dimwit.
 * Avatar: Well, silly can be cuter than clever, don't you think?
 * Lon'qu: I...have absolutely no idea what you mean by that.
 * Avatar: ...Er, yes. I think I was trying to be clever and disproved my own point...
 * Lon'qu: (Heh.)
 * Avatar: Wait...did you just laugh?!
 * Lon'qu: No.
 * Avatar: Yes you did! I distinctly heard you say "heh."
 * Lon'qu: Never! You are incapable of provoking so much as a chuckle from me.
 * Avatar: Ooooooh, THAT sounds like another challenge...
 * Lon'qu: Damn.
 * Avatar: Right! The game's afoot! I shall make you laugh one more time, no matter what!
 * Lon'qu: How do I get myself into these things...

 * Lon'qu: Enough, Avatar!
 * Avatar: What? What's wrong?
 * Lon'qu: You've been mocking both me and your training. Don't deny it.
 * Avatar: How so?
 * Lon'qu: When we spar, you adopt a curious expression and poke me in the ribs.
 * Avatar: And haven't you noticed how much more relaxed you've been?
 * Lon'qu: What are you talking about?
 * Avatar: I'm talking about how I stand close, and you don't even break a sweat.
 * Lon'qu: ...Gods above... It's true... How could I not notice? What witchcraft is this?!
 * Avatar: No magic, I swear. Just two comrades-in-arms who've grown accustomed to fighting side by side. I'm sorry if my behavior seemed strange, but I was only trying to help. I know all about your phobia of women, so I came up with a plan. I thought if I acted strangely enough, you'd be so distracted, you'd forget all about it!
 * Lon'qu: Heh. You are a con artist of the highest order...
 * Avatar: Hey! I made you laugh again!

 * Lissa: There you are, Lon'qu! I take it my brother talked to you?
 * Lon'qu: Er...
 * Lissa: Oh, stop it! Yes, I'm a girl, but it's your job to guard me! So no running away and being all weird. All right?
 * Lon'qu: Chrom said there was a plot on your life. Is this accurate?
 * Lissa: Yeah, I guess somebody wants my sweet little head on a platter. Don't ask me why!
 * Lon'qu: You're of royal blood. That's enough to make you a target. And any shadow could hide a knife, so we must ensure you are never alone.
 * Lissa: My hero! I don't have to worry about a thing with you around! La la laaaa...
 * Lon'qu: Don't be careless! Keep your eyes open! Death could lurk in any nook or... *Sigh* Surely there is someone else better suited to this task.
 * Lissa: Yeah, but you were just lazing around catching butterflies all day, so Chrom—
 * Lon'qu: I certainly was not!
 * Lissa: J-just kidding, Lon'qu! K-kidding! I'm sure Chrom was impressed by your skill and charm and good looks! I mean, out of everyone here, he's trusting you to keep his little sis safe. That's a pretty huge honor, right? ...Riiiiight?
 * Lon'qu: ...I suppose.
 * Lissa: Right! So come on, no more grumbling! Let's shake hands and make nice!
 * Lon'qu: ......
 * Lissa: Oh, fine. No handshaking. We can just...nod at each other. Sheesh! Do you really have such a problem with women?
 * Lon'qu: I find them...disconcerting. But it will not interfere with my duty.
 * Lissa: Hmm... Maybe as thanks for guarding me I'll go ahead and fix your little problem...
 * Lon'qu: ...Or maybe not?
 * Lissa: Fiiiiiine! I'm going to train, then. You can...just stand there and look dour.
 * Lon'qu: That suits me just fine.

 * Lissa: It's about time the rain stopped. I thought it'd never—ooooooh! Look! A rainbow!
 * Lon'qu: Keep your distance. I can see it from here.
 * Lissa: Um, can you even GUARD me from that far away?!
 * Lon'qu: I can close the distance in the blink of an eye.
 * Lissa: Seriously? I'm nowhere near that fast! Here, lemme see how long it takes me to—
 * Lon'qu: Enough! Stop trying to get closer!
 * Lissa: Hee hee! You're pretty sharp! ...But I'm just trying to be friendly. How are we supposed to be best buds if you're way over there?
 * Lon'qu: I'm close enough to protect you. ...And we are NOT "best buds."
 * Lissa: Geez, what a grump! Why even bother guarding me if that's how you feel?
 * Lon'qu: Because those are my orders...and morale would fall if anything happened to you.
 * Lissa: Oh, puh-leeeeeese! No one would care if something happened to me. Someone stronger would just roll my corpse out of the way and take up the fight...
 * Lon'qu: ...Do you truly not see how your presence energizes the others? How your smile and demeanor put everyone at ease?
 * Lissa: R-really? Hee... Sooo, what about you, Lon'qu? ...Does my smile put you at ease?
 * Lon'qu: Perhaps. ...From a certain distance.
 * Lissa: Ugh, why do I even BOTHER?! I'll see you later, grump.
 * Lon'qu: Wait. I'll go with you.
 * Lissa: No you won't! I'm going to take a bath!
 * Lon'qu: But my orders... You'll be... Argh! Hmm, now that I think about it, there's been no sign of any attempts on her life... Either her would-be assailants are being extremely cautious... Or perhaps this is some sort of ruse? Are she and Chrom toying with me?

 * Lissa: The path's kinda bumpy here, Lon'qu. Should we hold hands?
 * Lon'qu: No.
 * Lissa: Honestly, you think you'd be used to me by now. And you're always so serious! It wouldn't kill you to smile once in a—
 * Lon'qu: Shhh!
 * Lissa: That is SO rude! Gods, I'm only trying to—
 * Lon'qu: Get behind me! Quickly! There's a— Hngh!
 * Lissa: N-no, Lon'qu! You're hurt! Please, you can't... Don't die!
 * Lon'qu: ...Ngh. It's just a single arrow. It won't kill me.
 * Lissa: Yeah, but any more of them could... And I... I think we're surrounded!
 * Lon'qu: I wager we've found your assassins. Stay close!
 * Lissa: R-right!
 * Lon'qu: ...That's the last of them.
 * Lissa: Here, hold still. Let me tend to your wounds.
 * Lon'qu: I'm fine. Are you hurt?
 * Lissa: No. Thanks to you.
 * Lon'qu: Good. That's...good.
 * Lissa: Lon'qu, you just... You saved my life.
 * Lon'qu: I followed orders. You should be safe now, but I'd better escort you to your tent, just to be certain.
 * Lissa: Um, Lon'qu?
 * Lon'qu: What?
 * Lissa: Now that you foiled the plot, I guess your bodyguard duty will be over... I suppose we're done walking together like this, huh?
 * Lon'qu: I see no reason to continue.
 * Lissa: Yeah, but... We were finally getting close. I'd be sad to lose that now.
 * Lon'qu: Do not lay this at my feet. I told you to keep your distance.
 * Lissa: Yeah, but...
 * Lon'qu: *Sigh* I...suppose...we could still chat. If you want. ...From time to time.
 * Lissa: You mean it?! Oh, yay! Thanks, Lon'qu!
 * Lon'qu: *Grumble, grumble*

S Support

 * Lissa: Heya, Lon'qu! I'm back for another chat!
 * Lon'qu: ...All right.
 * Lissa: Yeesh, try to contain your excitement there. Oh, and be sure not to smile. Most boys would cut off a leg to have a cute girl drop by to talk.
 * Lon'qu: Would you have me paste on a fake grin whenever you grace me with your presence?
 * Lissa: Well, no... Actually, that would be really creepy, coming from you.
 * Lon'qu: Then this is what you get.
 * Lissa: All right, all right. You don't have to be so cold to me. I just miss you, you know! You were guarding me around the clock for so long, and now I barely see you. But I suppose you wouldn't understand how I feel, huh? I mean, you can't stand girls. All right, listen. If you don't want me here, just say so and I'll leave you in peace.
 * Lon'qu: I...like when you come to see me.
 * Lissa: Great, fine. Don't worry, I know where the door is. You don't have to... Wait, what'd you say? I must not have heard you right... Because it almost sounded like you said you liked having a girl come bother you.
 * Lon'qu: You heard me fine... And you are no bother. I...also miss the time we spent together.
 * Lissa: ...I must be losing my mind.
 * Lon'qu: This may come as a surprise...but I have something for you.
 * Lissa: A ring? ...Is this a WEDDING ring? But wait, you hate women!
 * Lon'qu: I don't hate anyone. And as far as my issue with women, you...are the exception. I find myself thinking of nothing but you. My every moment is consumed with you. If you will allow it, I swear to be with you and protect you for the rest of your days.
 * Lissa: Oh, Lon'qu... Of COURSE I'll allow it! And I'll watch your back, too! But you have to be beside me always. No more distance!
 * Lon'qu: ...No more distance.

 * Sully: Those were some impressive moves on the battlefield today, Lon'qu.
 * Lon'qu: Ngh...
 * Sully: Your fighting is so fluid, yet so crisp. It's amazing to watch. I'd love to see how my own moves stack up someday.
 * Lon'qu: I refuse.
 * Sully: Har! Scared?
 * Lon'qu: No. I simply have no interest in fighting you.
 * Sully: The hell does that mean? You think you got me beat before we even start?
 * Lon'qu: ......
 * Sully: You don't know thing one about me! Not until we've crossed blades.
 * Lon'qu: You are a woman.
 * Sully: ...Oh, that does it. Draw! Draw and defend your life!
 * Lon'qu: Stop!
 * Sully: Make me!
 * Lon'qu: ...That would have hit me.
 * Sully: Then it's a good thing you parried. Let's see if you're as quick next time.

B Support

 * Sully: Come on, Lon'qu. Let's spar!
 * Lon'qu: We did. You won.
 * Sully: Pfft. That? I've seen you fight, and that wasn't half what you're capable of. It doesn't count if you win when the other guy wasn't even trying.
 * Lon'qu: Half is all I can offer someone like you.
 * Sully: Oh, what? Can't fight a woman? Afraid I'll break a nail? I expect this crap from a lot of people, Lon'qu, but not you!
 * Lon'qu: I mean no insult. The fault is mine alone. I have an...aversion to women. A crippling, involuntary reflex. You're a true warrior, and skilled. But I cannot fight you.
 * Sully: Is this some childhood-trauma thing? Did a girl take your lunch money?
 * Lon'qu: Something like that.
 * Sully: Well, I won't pry. Everybody's got their secrets. ...Wait. Does this happen to you on the battlefield, too?
 * Lon'qu: I manage to suppress it in instinctual, life-and-death situations.
 * Sully: So if your neck were on the line, you'd be able to fight. That makes sense... HAAAAAA!
 * Lon'qu: Are you mad, woman?!
 * Sully: Going for the kill would be the easy fix, but that isn't really an option here. But I figured if I turned up the intensity, I might be able to trigger a survival reflex. Now pretend I'm about to kill you!
 * Lon'qu: You ARE mad!

A Support

 * Sully: Hey, Lon'qu. What's new?
 * Lon'qu: Nothing. Would you like to spar?
 * Sully: Finally stopped seeing me as a woman, eh? It usually doesn't take guys this long.
 * Lon'qu: No. Nothing has changed in that regard. Over the course of sparring, I've just...gotten used to you.
 * Sully: I guess anyone would after staring me down for that many rounds. Does this mean the gloves can finally come off?
 * Lon'qu: Indeed. I am sorry for the long delay. I owe you a debt that I intend to repay with steel.
 * Sully: Oh, you ARE feisty today! Let's begin.
 * Lon'qu: ...Hyaaa!

S Support

 * Sully: Damn my hide! You're like fighting with a hurricane! I almost miss the days when you were still hung up on women.
 * Lon'qu: My aversion isn't gone, but you've proven that it can be quelled. You have made me stronger. I'd accepted my weakness, but you carved it from me by force. And through our matches, you pared me down to expose a better man.
 * Sully: Fighting you has made me a better warrior as well. And a better woman.
 * Lon'qu: This is forward of me, but I have very little experience with such things, so... This ring is for you, if you're of a mind to wear it.
 * Sully: I'd be honored Lon'qu.
 * Lon'qu: With your help, I know I can grow stronger still. That I can become a better partner.
 * Sully: Har! This coming from the guy who just wiped the floor with me! Well then? What are you waiting for?
 * Lon'qu: I don't understand.
 * Sully: With all that emotional stuff sorted, I feel like a fight!
 * Lon'qu: ...Heh. As you wish!

 * Vaike: Now, now. Don't get you're smallclothes in a twist. I was just testin' ya, is all.
 * Lon'qu: Testing me?
 * Vaike: That's right. And you'll be pleased to know, you've met—nay, exceeded expectations! You can be my squire and pupil, and I'll see if I can't make a real warrior outta ya.
 * Lon'qu: I'm going to assume this is just an elaborate joke.
 * Vaike: C'mon, whaddya say? You can be my right-hand man!
 * Lon'qu: ...Gods, he's serious. I have no desire to be your pupil, fool!
 * Vaike: Sure ya do! Everyone does! No need to play hard to get.
 * Lon'qu: Such persistence! ...Very well. If you defeat me,I'll consider it.
 * Vaike: But you haven't had any trainin' yet! It wouldn't be fair.
 * Lon'qu: Where I'm from, strength is the only law that matters.
 * Vaike: Well, I guess that's simple enough. All right, then! Are ya ready?
 * Lon'qu: Always.

 * Vaike:　So this is where you're hidin', Lon'qu! You and me need to have another fight!
 * Lon'qu:　I will give you as many as it takes.
 * Vaike:　Don't get cocky on me, now! I've been practicin' since the last one. This time I'll thump ya good, and then you'll have to be my squire!
 * Lon'qu: I have no doubt you have become stronger and more adept. But I have not been sitting idly by. I, too, have grown stronger.
 * Vaike:　Really? Oh. Well, damn. So how about this? Let's have you stop trainin' for, say, three days. That'll give me a chance to catch up and make it a fair fight!
 * Lon'qu: If strength is the only law, then tell me why I would do such a thing.
 * Vaike: Well, because...I have a dream. And I need someone like you to make it come true.
 * Lon'qu: ...A dream?
 * Vaike: Why, yes! Glad ya asked! See, what I wanna do is—
 * Lon'qu: Enough! I care only for two things: the strength of your arm and the mettle of your blade.
 * Vaike: Sooo, that's a yes then?
 * Lon'qu: If it's a fight you want, then a fight you shall have! Begin!

 * Vaike: Lon'qu! This time I'm ready for ya, and no mistake!
 * Lon'qu: After your last showing, I thought you'd be finished with duels. How many times must I defeat you before you admit failure?
 * Vaike: I ain't a man who gives up a dream because of a setback! ...Or, uh, two.
 * Lon'qu: Surely there are other candidates to be your protégé? Perhaps you can even defeat some of them.
 * Vaike: Graaagh! No, no, and no again! It has to be you, and none other! It ain't just your skill with the blade. It's the way ya fight in battle. You've got fire in ya! A warrior's passion!
 * Lon'qu: I don't—
 * Vaike: I need that passion to fuel my dream. That's the only way it'll come true.
 * Lon'qu: You seem to possess more than enough passion yourself.
 * Vaike: See, that's EXACTLY my point! We birds of a feather gotta stand together! I light the fuse, you provide the fuel, and then we kick heinie all over!
 * Lon'qu: Perhaps you have a point.
 * Vaike: Of course I do!
 * Lon'qu: But we must be equals. I refuse to function as either pupil or squire.
 * Vaike: Partners, eh? Sounds good to me!
 * Lon'qu: Then why didn't you say so sooner? BEFORE we had all those fights?!
 * Vaike: I dunno. Guess it never occurred to me. Anyway, ya wanna hear my dream?
 * Lon'qu: No. So long as you can hold your own in combat, I shall be satisfied. Until the next battle...partner.

 * Vaike: W-wait! I gotta tell ya my dream! How can we be partners if I don't?

 * Miriel: The moon is illuminated by the sun? A most curious claim. And yet...
 * Lon'qu: Hey.
 * Miriel: The sun's light dims and is extinguished as it falls below the horizon. How, then, can—
 * Lon'qu: Hey! Watch OUT.
 * Miriel: Ack!
 * Lon'qu: Do you have a death wish, woman? You nearly walked off a cliff! ...Gods. I grabbed a woman's arm.
 * Miriel: Apologies. I was lost in my reading.
 * Lon'qu: Maybe sit down next time if you aim to stay alive.
 * Miriel: My heart is racing. An automatic response to danger, I assume? Very interesting. I must make note of this...
 * Lon'qu: Just close the book.
 * Miriel: I am conducting a thought experiment and would prefer not to interrupt it.
 * Lon'qu: You'd be interrupted permanently if I hadn't stopped you. Don't let it happen again.
 * Miriel: Assuming the sun does somehow continue to shine from beyond the horizon... Bah. It's no use. My focus is lost.

B Support

 * Lon'qu: I told you not to let this happen again!
 * Miriel: You did.
 * Lon'qu: So why is this your seventh brush with death in a week? The falling rocks and being swept off by the river I can perhaps understand... But you just stepped in front of a cart! A cart full of...of very loud minstrels!
 * Miriel: Yes. But I saw you coming as well.
 * Lon'qu: And you just assumed I'd save you?
 * Miriel: That was my hypothesis, yes. The first few instances were accidents, but they raised a curious question. Was my attendant increase in heart rate purely the result of proximal danger?
 * Lon'qu: Say that in words a human can understand.
 * Miriel: A second situational cause could be postulated: proximity to you. Perhaps contact with someone unfamiliar was the cause of my momentary excitation. The only way to be sure was to collect data, which entailed replicating the experiment.
 * Lon'qu: So you had to keep trying to die so I could keep saving you? What if I'd been too slow?
 * Miriel: An incisive criticism. My methodology failed to prepare for that contingency.
 * Lon'qu: For a smart woman, you sure are dumb. So understand this—that was the last time I'm pulling you out of the fire! I'm uncomfortable enough around women as it is. I don't need you making it worse.
 * Miriel: A categorical aversion to women? Curious. Does this extend to, say, a female cat?
 * Lon'qu: What? No. Cats all look the same to me.
 * Miriel: What about primates? Statues of women? Perhaps a female cadaver?
 * Lon'qu: I'm pretending you stopped at statues.
 * Miriel: Is your reflex physical, or psychological? This merits a most rigorous investigation!
 * Lon'qu: I'm starting to wish I'd let those minstrels run you down...

 * Lon'qu: All right! Why did you do it?!
 * Miriel: Your question is far too vague for—
 * Lon'qu: You filled my tent with statues of women! And most of them had no arms!
 * Miriel: Ah, yes. That. Your question was ambiguous, Lon'qu. Specificity is paramount in any inquiry. Regardless, the statues were an experiment to learn the extent of your aversion reflex. And now I may collect the results! So then, how did you react to the statues?
 * Lon'qu: By smashing them.
 * Miriel: I see. So an inanimate likeness DOES trigger your reflex.
 * Lon'qu: No, that's not the—
 * Miriel: Thank you for your cooperation. We can proceed to the next test once I've procured sufficient female monkeys to—
 * Lon'qu: For the love of all the gods, no! You don't get it.
 * Miriel: I have made an error in my calculations?
 * Lon'qu: I didn't get rid of the statues because they looked like women. There was barely enough room in my tent to stand! Plus I didn't want people to think I had...issues.
 * Miriel: Ah! I see your point. A man who claims to be constitutionally averse to women with a tent full of statues? You might indeed be the subject of scrutiny, to say nothing of scurrilous rumor.
 * Lon'qu: Assuming those words mean what I think they mean, yes. That's it exactly.
 * Miriel: This was an oversight in my methodology. I apologize. We'll repeat the experiment in a secluded location.
 * Lon'qu: No, we won't.
 * Miriel: My heart is racing at the prospect of clean, reliable data!
 * Lon'qu: I said forget it!

 * Lon'qu: ...Hello, Miriel.
 * Miriel: Curious. How did you know it was me?
 * Lon'qu: After enduring your "experiments" day in and day out, I've come to expect you. Also, you have a fairly unique presence.
 * Miriel: A presence, you say? How ambiguous. With what sensory organ do you detect it? We would have to disable them one at a time to be certain.
 * Lon'qu: Just... Look, forget I said anything. What are you here to test this time?
 * Miriel: I've observed a new phenomenon. Over the course of our joint research, I have come to crave further contact. I've yet to ascertain the cause and extent of this addiction, however.
 * Lon'qu: I...have a theory.
 * Miriel: A hypothesis, Lon'qu. Not a theory. A theory is a measurable extension of... I apologize. I interrupted you. Please continue.
 * Lon'qu: I think what you feel is the same as what I feel for you.
 * Miriel: Then you've cultivated an immunity to women as a result of our experiments?
 * Lon'qu: Not an immunity. Just an exception.
 * Miriel: Fascinating. And a relief! It would be a shame to lose such a rare affliction. In any case, this calls for further inquiry.
 * Lon'qu: Heh. I thought you'd say as much. That's why I got you this.
 * Miriel: It appears to be a ring.
 * Lon'qu: That's because it is a ring. Wear this, and our addictions will be sated. You'll also never lack for a test subject.
 * Miriel: Are these properties magical in nature? Most intriguing...
 * Lon'qu: I'm asking you to marry me, idiot!
 * Miriel: Ah, I see! Fascinating.
 * Lon'qu: That's...not really an answer.
 * Miriel: Apologies. I appear to be flush with a host of new and unfamiliar feelings. Each one is more intriguing than the next! I'm not sure how to express them properly.
 * Lon'qu: Most people smile.
 * Miriel: ...Is this satisfactory?

 * Lon'qu: This is no problem of yours. If I bleed, it is due to my own weakness. Each cut is a lesson, each scar a reminder.
 * Maribelle: Oh, and just think how much you'll learn when you die in a heap on the battlefield! It's my job to keep your blood inside you, and that requires cooperation.
 * Lon'qu: I can patch my own wounds. Now leave me!

 * Maribelle: Ah ha! There you are!

 * Lon'qu: I've intensified my training so that such a thing won't happen again. Now stop following me.
 * Maribelle: Not so fast!
 * Lon'qu: That's my arm. You're touching my arm. ...Please stop touching my arm.
 * Maribelle: Not until you furnish me with a reason for this suicidal stubbornness!
 * Lon'qu: Enough! I yield! Just remove your paw from me.
 * Maribelle: PAW?! Why, you inbred, foul-tempered, low-born gutter rat! Are you so truly averse to women that you must insult them at every turn?
 * Lon'qu: I...do not function well around them. They closer they get, the worse it is. I beg of you, keep your distance.
 * Maribelle: So that's the reason you've been running off whenever I try to heal you!
 * Lon'qu: I mean no offense, though I know it is taken. It would be best if you simply accepted it.
 * Maribelle: Absolutely not.
 * Lon'qu: Why not?
 * Maribelle: Because it's unacceptable! You always speak of growing stronger, yet here's a glaring weakness to correct. At this rate, a little girl could simply walk up and kill you with a spoon. I won't have you risking your life over such a foolish thing.
 * Lon'qu: ...
 * Maribelle: I know it's not my place, but I think—
 * Lon'qu: No. You are not wrong. This is a weakness I must correct.

Regardless, it was quite chivalrous of you. And proof you've overcome your problem! This is a celebratory day indeed. Perhaps you'll join me for a cup of—

 * Maribelle: I see.
 * Lon'qu: Go on. Laugh at the craven.
 * Maribelle: I'll do no such thing! I owe you all the more knowing you defended me despite the discomfort. I should dearly like to help you work through the issue.
 * Lon'qu: I don't see how.
 * Maribelle: Oh, there has to be SOME way. Hmm, perhaps it's best to have you jump in head first. I could bring you to an establishment where a pack of lovely ladies wait on you?
 * Lon'qu: Pass. ...Wait, how would you know about such a place?
 * Maribelle: Rude! A woman must have her secrets.
 * Lon'qu: Perhaps there is another way. A normal way.
 * Maribelle: Quite right! And I won't rest until I've come up with it, my dear. Anything for a friend, I always say.
 * Lon'qu: Are we friends?

 * Lon'qu: Your cheek is...warm.
 * Maribelle: Let's break here for today, yes? Steadily decreasing the distance day by day seems to be working.
 * Lon'qu: I expected you to fill a tiger pit with women and push me in.
 * Maribelle: Gentlemen have likened me to many things before, Lon'qu, but never a sharp spike. Besides, you asked for a "normal" method. I think this one is quite reasonable.
 * Lon'qu: It is. But we've been at it for so long, and I've only just managed to touch your cheek. I have taken so much of your time.
 * Maribelle: Oh, pish! It's no bother at all! ...Still, I suppose you have a point. Perhaps we ought to make arrangements for the long term, mmm?
 * Lon'qu: Meaning...?
 * Maribelle: Well, I could continue to train you indefinitely if we were married.
 * Lon'qu: You have no obligation to do that.
 * Maribelle: Gods, but you can be dreadfully dense at times. Do you think I would propose marriage out of a sense of obligation?
 * Lon'qu: Er, no.
 * Maribelle: So then! We've now established how I feel about you, albeit somewhat painfully... Perhaps you would return the favour.
 * Lon'qu: ...I...feel something for you as well, though I do not have the words for it. I yearn to keep you safe in my arms until the breath leaves my body. And yet, I can barely touch you. It is shameful. I have no right to ask your hand.
 * Maribelle: Oh, Lon'qu, there's no hurry. We have the rest of our lives! And YOU, my dear, are a catch worth waiting for.
 * Lon'qu: Perhaps we could practice one more time. I would very much like to hold your hand as we walk to town. We will need a ring, after all.

 * Lon'qu: It is not your kind I mind, it is your gender.
 * Panne: And why would you, a human skilled in swordplay, possibly fear all females?
 * Lon'qu: I have my reasons. I am haunted by nightmares—confused terrifying memories from my past. When I approach a woman, be she taguel or human, I am gripped by an icy fear.
 * Panne: Then I am not the only one plagued by terrible memories.
 * Lon'qu: I do not like to speak of it. If the others knew I still suffered from such childish nightmares, they would think me weak.

 * Lon'qu: Hello, Panne.
 * Panne: You look cheerful. I assume this to mean the potion did its deed. This is good. I was unsure it would work on humans.
 * Lon'qu: Your brew did more than cure me of my nightmares... Since I drank that draught, I've been having the most wonderful dreams.
 * Panne: The effect will wear off soon. Wait while I brew another mug.
 * Lon'qu: Thank you.

 * Lon'qu: Tell me Panne, why do you help me? I know you've little love for humans.
 * Panne: Well, I'd already given you the herbs. I didn't want them to go to waste.
 * Lon'qu: And why did you collect them in the first place? Were they for you? Are you also haunted by nightmares?
 * Panne: I often dream of the night man-spawn razed my village and murdered my kin. Just before she dies, my mother told me that I mustn't hate all humans. She said there were good men as well as wicked, and I was never to forget it.
 * Lon'qu: But why did you make the potion for me?

 * Lon'qu: You know, it's funny...

 * Cordelia: Well, you were best by foes and looked as if you needed the help.
 * Lon'qu: I see. You are not wrong in this. I would like to settle the debt quickly. Is there anything you need?
 * Cordelia: It's hardly a debt, Lon'qu. We're on the same side. But I can see you're serious, so let me see... I'd love to get some fencing lesson, but I suppose that's not possible. I mean, what with your crippling phobia of standing near women.
 * Lon'qu: Er...
 * Cordelia: By the way, does this phobia mean you can't help me on the battlefield, either?
 * Lon'qu: No. In the heat of battle, I am able to overcome my...inclinations.

 * Cordelia: Actually, yes. It has. Now you tell me something, Lon'qu. Why do you care about my heart?
 * Lon'qu: Er...

 * Lon'qu: Tharja.
 * Tharja: I'm not going to move across the room, if that's what you want.
 * Lon'qu: ......
 * Tharja: Okay, I have better things to do than watch you stand there with your mouth agape. You want me to dispel your fear, right?
 * Lon'qu: Can you truly release me from this crippling aversion to your kind?
 * Tharja: Only if you promise to never refer to women as "your kind" again. Also, I need to know exactly where this fear comes from.
 * Lon'qu: ...All of it?
 * Tharja: Unless I know the true nature of what ails you, I cannot destroy it.
 * Lon'qu: Every night, I am plagued by a dream. A dream of true events. Of a young girl who lost her life because of me. She was an ordinary village girl who lived on the outskirts of town. We became friends despite the fact that I was an impoverished youth from the slums. In time, she began to steal away from her parents to see me. Love flowered between us. But then...
 * Tharja: Go on.
 * Lon'qu: I'm sorry. This is...difficult for me. One day we went to the fields to picnic and spend time by the river. ...The bandits were so fast. So many. I fought them with all that I had, but she still... They...
 * Tharja: I'm sorry, Lon'qu.
 * Lon'qu: From that day on, the presence of a woman has filled me with fear. A woman died because of my failings. I would not let it happen again. And though that day is long past, I relive it every night...
 * Tharja: It is not unusual for powerful incidents to grip our hearts for many years after. You aren't crushed by mortal means, Lon'qu—the memory IS the curse.
 * Lon'qu: Can you help me?
 * Tharja: Perhaps. But it will take time. I must learn about you, this girl, and your youth spent in the slums. If I am to break the curse, I must know everything there is to know about you.
 * Lon'qu: If that is what it takes...

 * Tharja: Lon'qu? I'm ready to perform the ritual.
 * Lon'qu: Do you avow this ritual will cleanse my soul and finally grant me peace?
 * Tharja: Yes. It will erase everything and give you a fresh start.
 * Lon'qu: Good.
 * Tharja: However, the curse has been with you for years, and it's roots reach deep. The only way to eradicate it is to uproot it along with all of your childhood memories.
 * Lon'qu: You mean, I will forget everything? My life in the slums? The times I spent with...her?
 * Tharja: Every last bit. But those memories torment you, right? You should be pleased to lose them.
 * Lon'qu: No. I cannot go through with this.
 * Tharja: Hey, I spent hours collecting bat wings. You can't back out now!
 * Lon'qu: Even as I told you my story, I realized how important the memories are to me. My life on the streets? Her death? These experiences make me strong. If I lose the memories, what happens to the lessons I learned from them? I fear they too, will be lost.
 * Tharja: ...Seriously, do you have any idea how many bat wings I had to collect?
 * Lon'qu: I have confidence a woman of your ilk will have another use for them. Even so, I'm very grateful for your help.
 * Tharja: Okay, don't thank me. That just feels weird.
 * Lon'qu: Then I shall think of some other way to pay you back.

 * Lon'qu: Tharja.
 * Tharja: Oh. Lon'qu. How are you planning to waste my time today?
 * Lon'qu: Nnngh...
 * Tharja: Are you...forcing yourself to stand closer to me? Don't tell me you let someone else erase your memories?
 * Lon'qu: This is...my own doing. I can overcome my fear...through tyranny...of will.
 * Tharja: Well, charmed, I'm sure. But at this rate, it's going to take years to cure yourself. Why don't you let me help?
 * Lon'qu: No. I don't want to rely on magic or tricks...
 * Tharja: Not with a curse, idiot. ...I mean you can practice on me. We could be friends. Companions, even. Be there for each other in times of trouble. If we were together day and night, you'd overcome your fear.
 * Lon'qu: What do you mean?
 * Tharja: Sometimes, I swear you're about three arrows short of a quiver. Here. I'll use small words, okay? Let's. Get. Married. Of course, if you're not up for it, that's okay, too. It'll give me one more time to follow Avatar around.
 * Lon'qu: Your proposal might have worked better without that last bit. Even so... Marriage has long seemed like a distant dream to me. However, there is a strength and grace about you that I find appealing. You are the first to look so deep into my heart and accept what you saw there. With you at my side, I might finally free myself of this painful past.
 * Tharja: To be honest, I was expecting you to throw up or something.
 * Lon'qu: I fear making friends with any woman, lest ill fortune strike them down. But you are frighteningly fierce. I wager you can look after yourself.
 * Tharja: It's true. People who mess with me tend to get turned inside out.
 * Lon'qu: I find this thought oddly comforting.
 * Tharja: All right, then. We'll get married and see if we can't make you normal again.
 * Lon'qu: And as proof of my dedication, I offer you this ring.
 * Tharja: ...Wait. You had this ready the whole time? Oh, you are a sly dog, Lon'qu.

 * Olivia: Oh, sorry. I hope I wasn't intruding. It's just that Khan Basilio used to practice the same move.
 * Lon'qu: It is a trick that I have yet to master. But one day I shall! When Basilio slices the water jar open, not a drop is spilled.
 * Olivia: I know! It's crazy, huh? Somehow, he slices through it so cleanly that the flask doesn't shatter.
 * Lon'qu: I have power, accuracy, speed... What am I lacking?
 * Olivia: Not that I'm an expert, but I don't think power has anything to do with it. When Basilio does it, he barely even swings his blade.
 * Lon'qu: You have observed him this closely?

 * Olivia: Eeek! Sorry! I didn't mean to... Wait, do I make you nervous?
 * Lon'qu: Anyway, I am not hungry. You may give my portion to someone else.
 * Olivia: I don't know if that's a good idea. You need to keep your energy up. Although, I guess if anyone can skip meals, it's you. Basilio did say he never knew anyone with more self-discipline.
 * Lon'qu: ...Basilio said this to you directly?
 * Olivia: Well, yeah, He talks about you all the time, actually. Always saying you're a genius with the blade and his true rival and blah blah blah. He talks about you to anyone within earshot. We're all bored of it, honestly.
 * Lon'qu: I did not know Basilio felt thus.
 * Olivia: You look pleased.
 * Lon'qu: Wh-what? *cough* No, n-not at all. I care not what he thinks of me. ...Perhaps I will eat after all. Excuse me.

 * Lon'qu: ...Curses. Will I never do this?!

 * Olivia: Well, sure. But—
 * Lon'qu: Bah. I'll never be a match for Basilio, let alone his better...
 * Olivia: Have you forgotten what Basilio said?
 * Lon'qu: That I'm a genius? His greatest rival? Empty words, designed only to flatter. I have talent, but I lack the true heart of a warrior. THAT is his meaning!
 * Olivia: That's not true at all! You WILL become his rival someday. You mustn't give up, Lon'qu!
 * Lon'qu: I understand now why I cannot cleave the flask. I have speed and power, but my heart is weak and irresolute. Without courage and conviction of purpose, my blade wavers and shatters the flask.
 * Olivia: Um, okay?
 * Lon'qu: Yet, even though I know this, I am powerless to cure myself. Especially in your presence!
 * Olivia: Hey, I've got an idea!
 * Lon'qu: Wh-what are you doing?! Release me! Release my hand, I say!

 * Lon'qu: V-very well... Just let go of me!
 * Olivia: Oh, gosh! Sorry! I didn't mean to be so...um...sweaty. Yikes, this is embarrassing. I left a big red handprint on your wrist. Um, does it hurt?
 * Lon'qu: It does not hurt, but the experience was nonetheless terrible. However, I hear what you say, and I shall not give up.

 * Cherche: Say, Lon'qu?
 * Lon'qu: What?
 * Cherche: This might be a strange question, but... Did you grow up in the slums? Living in the streets?
 * Lon'qu: I have no idea what you're talking about.
 * Cherche: Oh. Then it must have been a different Lon'qu.
 * Lon'qu: Must have been.
 * Cherche: But you did know a young girl called Ke'ri, didn't you?
 * Lon'qu: Where did you hear that name?!
 * Cherche: Ah ha! It was you that they told me about!
 * Lon'qu: Who is they? What is the meaning of all this?!
 * Cherche: I met Ke'ri's parents. A while back, when I was in Regna Ferox with Minerva. I saved them from a pack of bandits outside the town. They told me that their daughter had been killed by the very same outlaws. Later I heard a young boy named Lon'qu was with her at the time. ...And that he fought like a demon in a vain attempt to protect her. Naturally, when I was introduced to you, I started thinking—
 * Lon'qu: I fought, yes. But in the end, it was she who died protecting me. Her mother and father hated me. They blamed me for her death. I was a homeless boy from the slums, and I stole their only daughter.
 * Cherche: Actually, about that—
 * Lon'qu: Enough. I cannot bear to speak of it. I would like to be alone now.

 * Lon'qu: Even so, I have no wish to hear it. If there is any mercy in your heart, you will leave the matter be.
 * Cherche: You will want to hear this.
 * Lon'qu: I think not!
 * Cherche: Her parents did not hate you, Lon'qu. They were grateful to you. It's true that when Ke'ri was killed, they blamed you for her death. But then they learned how desperately you tried to save her. And when you vanished from the slum, they knew that it was their fault.
 * Lon'qu: ......
 * Cherche: Soon after Ke'ri died, they found her diary. They discovered what a good friend you had been to her.
 * Lon'qu: ......
 * Cherche: Your friendship made her happy, and that, in turn, made them happy. So they don't hate you. Not anymore. And I know they would want you to know that.
 * Lon'qu: ...... Thank you for delivering the message.

 * (Minerva cries out)
 * Lon'qu: Agh! Wh-what fool's game are you playing?!
 * Cherche: Heh. Well, that woke you up a little. Listen, Lon'qu. I dredged up a past you wanted to forget, and I'm sorry.
 * Lon'qu: Do not apologize. You were right to talk to me, and I'm glad to know the truth. When you spoke of her parent's forgiveness, I thought it would only bring more pain. But, since then, the nightmares that plague me have become...fewer.
 * Cherche: Nightmares?
 * Lon'qu: Many a night have I been forced to relive the moment she died protecting me. Ke'ri died because she was my friend. Never again shall I repeat that mistake. I vowed that I would let no one get close enough to be hurt by me again.
 * Cherche: ...So this is why you fear to have contact with women.
 * Lon'qu: My nightmares will never fade completely, nor will my fear of friendship and love. But for the first time, I can imagine a future that might be different. Thank you, Cherche.
 * Cherche: I only told you what I knew. ...But perhaps, if you would allow, we can try to cure the remaining hurt together? For a start, we could go for a ride on Minerva. Perhaps even bring a picnic—
 * Lon'qu: I am...not ready.
 * Cherche: Oh. Yes, of course not.

 * Lon'qu: We'll be standing here all day if I don't take the initiative. Does it displease you when I hold your hand like this?
 * Cherche: No, not at all. But you're the one we should be worried about. Are you feeling all right?
 * Lon'qu: At first it was difficult, but now it feels almost...peaceful. I don't think I could do this with any other woman but you.
 * Cherche: Well, this is progress!
 * Lon'qu: Tell me, Cherche. Why do you help me? What have I done to deserve it?
 * Cherche: Can't I do it out of the goodness of my own heart?
 * Lon'qu: Few in this world would ever be so decent. Cherche, I want you to have this.
 * Cherche: A ring? Does this mean...
 * Lon'qu: You have healed the wounds in my heart and replaced them with love. For the first time, I can see a future in which I am not alone. Will you join me in this adventure? Will you marry me?
 * Cherche: Gladly!
 * Lon'qu: I was afraid you'd say no.

 * Lon'qu: Waugh! N-neck! Inigo, my neck! Too tight! C-can't breathe!
 * Inigo: I-it's your own fault! I don't think you've ever said anything like that to me before! And listen—the same goes for you. Whatever the problem, I'll help. I'll be damned if I'm going to lose you twice.
 * Lon'qu: And I'll be damned if I'm ever going to lose you, period.

 * Severa: Hey! I think it's time for Daddy-Daughter Day!
 * Lon'qu: ...Why?
 * Severa: Does a daughter NEED a reason to spend a little time with her father?! Most fathers would be beside themselves with joy at even being asked! Gawds!
 * Lon'qu: You're right—I should count my blessings. Well, then? Where shall we go?
 * Severa: Into town! I spotted a whole line of shops with the CUTEST dresses...
 * Lon'qu: Dresses, huh? Well, I suppose you're at that age...
 * Severa: Age? Hee hee! In this timeline, you're not much older than I am, Daddy!
 * Lon'qu: Hmm... I suppose not.
 * Severa: I bet most people seeing us side by side would think we were brother and sister.
 * Lon'qu: That would be...odd.
 * Severa: Odd? Is there something wrong with that? Are you embarrassed to be seen with me?! You'd rather be with Mother, wouldn't you?
 * Lon'qu: What? N-no, not at all... You're adorable, Severa.
 * Severa: Aw, you mean it? Yay! That's so sweet! So okay! In town, there's this one dress I really, reeeally want! Would you hate me if I asked you to get it for me? Would Mother be mad?
 * Lon'qu: I could never hate you, Severa. And I'm sure your mother won't mind. Just... You know the deal. Keep your distance. And no hand-holding.
 * Severa: Oh, thank you, Daddy! I love you so much!
 * Lon'qu: *Sigh* Yeah, me too.
 * Severa: (...Pffft. Too easy.)

 * Severa: Thanks again for all the shopping, Daddy! I felt like a total princess when you bought everything I asked for!
 * Lon'qu: Most royal houses couldn't afford to shop the way you just did...
 * Severa: Daddy, are you listening?
 * Lon'qu: I'm listening.
 * Severa: Good, good. So! I'd just looove to go on another shopping spree with you! I spotted the most precious little accessory shop in a town near here the other day!
 * Lon'qu: ...No.
 * Severa: Huh? Why not? Did I do something wrong? Daddy, are you... Are you mad at me?
 * Lon'qu: Spare me the wounded treatment, Severa. No means no. We just bought you plenty.
 * Severa: FINE, then! FINE! I guess I'll just wear RAGS! ...GAWDS!
 * Lon'qu: I wasn't suggesting... Oh, good grief. Look, I'm not saying I won't buy you anything ever...
 * Severa: Oooooh, you're not?!
 * Lon'qu: I'm just saying you'll have to earn it. If you help out around camp with chores and such, I'll treat you to something nice.
 * Severa: EXCUSE me? What is this—my allowance?! I'm not a child!
 * Lon'qu: No? The stop acting like one. This is for your own good, Severa. A little hardship in one's youth builds character.
 * Severa: I dealt with a LOT more than hardship back in the future, thank you!
 * Lon'qu: Well, my decision is final. I won't continue to just buy you whatever you like. If there's something you want, you'll have to work for it.
 * Severa: FINE! Whatever! ...I'll do your stupid chores. But I expect some SERIOUS returns, is that clear?!
 * Lon'qu: *Sigh* Whatever you say...

 * Severa: Apply the whetstone to the blade at an angle, and then... Gah, not again! That's the fifth one that broke! Nothing EVER goes right for me!
 * Lon'qu: Severa? What are you doing?
 * Severa: I'm sharpening these stupid weapons that won't stay sharp! Gawds! You told me to help out, right? So I'm helping.
 * Lon'qu: ...And that pile of broken swords behind you?
 * Severa: It's not my fault they're defective! They all, like, fell apart and stuff! Sorry I'm not PERFECT at everything like Mother! Sorry I'm SO STUPID! I get it—I'm useless! You should just drown me in a sack...
 * Lon'qu: Severa, I think you're overreact—
 * Severa: I burn everything I try to cook... I just about beheaded a horse while chopping wood... I'm no help to anyone! I'm just a bunch of lame deadweight. You must've had high hopes, too, given Mother's history. I'm such a disappointment.
 * Lon'qu: ......
 * Severa: ...Well? If you have something to say, just say it!
 * Lon'qu: I'm not disappointed, Severa. I couldn't be happier that you came back to us.
 * Severa: Oh, please. Are you mocking me? Do you really think I'm that stupid? All my life, every time I mess something up, people compare me to Mother! And you're closer to her than anyone! I KNOW you think I don't measure up.
 * Lon'qu: You're your own woman, Severa. I wouldn't compare you to anyone. You're my daughter and my treasure, and I know your mother feels the same.
 * Severa: Wha—?!
 * Lon'qu: I'm behind you no matter what happens. So no more talk of being a disappointment. It makes me feel as if I failed you as a father.
 * Severa: What? No! Daddy, you didn't! *sniff* I'm sorry! I... I didn't... WAAAAAAAAAH...
 * Lon'qu: Don't cry. You've been through a lot, I know, but it's all right now. I'm sorry for saying you needed more hardship before. I know it's been hard... But I'll do all I can to keep you from ever suffering again. Okay? And since you've been doing your chores, how about we claim that reward now?
 * Severa: No. I don't need it. I don't need anything but you, Daddy! But if you die on me again, I'll never forgive you!
 * Lon'qu: I'm not going anywhere this time. I promise.

 * Yarne: ......
 * Lon'qu: ...Yarne, what are you staring at?
 * Yarne: I'm trying to read your face and find out if you're cheating on Mother.
 * Lon'qu: What?! Cheating? I'd never do such a thing! You know Panne is the only woman I can stand to be near.
 * Yarne: Oh, all right then... IF you're telling the truth...
 * Lon'qu: Why would you think I was cheating? ...Is someone spreading rumors?
 * Yarne: Nope. The idea just popped into my head the other day. You see, I got to thinking... What would happen to me if you suddenly decided Mother wasn't good enough?
 * Lon'qu: ...Huh?
 * Yarne: See, I'd been assuming that all I had to do was make sure you both stayed alive. Eventually you'd have me, and poof! My existence would be guaranteed. But that would all change if you left Mother for another woman before I was born. The very instant you made that decision, I would just wink out of existence! The thought of it sends a chill down my spine. Brrrr...
 * Lon'qu: This is ridiculous...
 * Yarne: So I'm going to be keeping a VERY close eye on you to make sure you toe the line!
 * Lon'qu: Now hold of just one minute!
 * Yarne: Don't worry, I'll make an exception for temporary dalliances during battle. ...Just so long as the fraternizing STAYS on the battlefield! Anyway, I've got to be going. But remember: I'm watching you!

 * Yarne: Ah. Hello, Father.
 * Lon'qu: What's the matter? You look as if your world's about to end.
 * Yarne: Thirteen yesterday, eight the day before. You know what I'm talking about?
 * Lon'qu: The number of decisive blows I struck against our foes?
 * Yarne: NO! The number of times you spoke to a woman who WASN'T my mother! To think I actually believed you when you said you had no intention of cheating! You have no self-control at all, and I'm going to vanish as a result! I just know it!
 * Lon'qu: Yarne, settle down. I was just being polite. They approached me and I responded.
 * Yarne: It sounded like more than that to me! Remember, taguel have excellent hearing.
 * Lon'qu: *Sigh* Believe me, I know all about that...but you need to understand, talking to my fellow soldiers—even women—is key. When you're in the thick of a battle, it's vital you know who you're fighting with. Think about it—what if someone said you couldn't talk to Lucina ever again?
 * Yarne: ...Well, I guess that would be a problem.
 * Lon'qu: I'm glad you get it. You should know be now that I'm not the cheating type.
 * Yarne: Well, you say that now... And perhaps you even mean it now... But what about the future? How do I know you'll never change your mind? I mean, you once promised me that you'd return home...but you never did...
 * Lon'qu: ...Ah.
 * Yarne: ...Er, forget I said that. It doesn't matter. I won't spy on you anymore. But if you break another promise and cheat on Mother, I won't ever forgive you!
 * (Yarne leaves)
 * Lon'qu: ...I think I understand now. In Yarne's future, I did and become the memory of a broken promise...

 * Lon'qu: There you are. I was looking for you.
 * Yarne: What do you want, Father? I told you, I won't spy on you anymore.
 * Lon'qu: That's not why I wanted to see you. I...want to apologize. In the future, I promised to come back to you and...I didn't. I'm sorry.
 * Yarne: What does it matter if YOU apologize?! It wasn't YOU who abandoned me! It was a different you from a different time!
 * Lon'qu: Yes, I know. And I also know that you're not my son. ...Not exactly, anyway.
 * Yarne: ......
 * Lon'qu: We're not just from different times. We're from different versions of time. And yet I think of you as my family all the same. I hope to give you the things that the father in your future couldn't. ...That is what you want, isn't it?
 * Yarne: I...I guess it is, yes. I know it's not right, but I can't help think of you as my father. That's why I get scared whenever you talk to other women. I couldn't bear the thought of you leaving Mother and becoming someone else's father. It would be like losing him all over again.
 * Lon'qu: Then I shall make you another promise. I swear by all I hold dear that I will survive and that I won't abandon your mother. I love you both more than anything in this world. I would do anything for you.
 * Yarne: I...I don't know what to say. Except...thank you. Because this time, I believe you'll keep your promise.
 * Lon'qu: Excellent.
 * Yarne: Phew! Now maybe I can relax and stop worrying about vanishing from history... You're such a great father! Who's a good father? Yes, whooo's a good father?
 * Lon'qu: I appreciate the sentiment, Yarne, but must you pet me like a dog while you say it...?
