 * Avatar: Hello, Silas. Do you have some time?
 * Silas: Hm? Oh, hi there, Avatar. Need something?
 * Avatar: Sort of. You mentioned that we were childhood friends but... I'm trying to figure out how you remembered that when I didn't.
 * Silas: Oh, is that all? I wouldn't worry about it. Those old memories slip away for everyone.
 * Avatar: But isn't it strange that I'd forget someone so close to me? You became a castle knight just so our paths would cross again... While I, on the other hand, forgot you existed at all.
 * Silas: Really, though... I wish you wouldn't worry about it. You remember now, and that's all that matters to me. My hard work paid off, didn't it? I became a castle knight, and here we are. I'm grateful for the chance to make up for lost time.
 * Avatar: Grateful, huh? That's a good way of looking at it, Thanks, Silas.
 * Silas: There's the cheer I remember. Oh, hey! Why don't we go take a little trip together sometime?
 * Avatar: Hmm. It sounds fun, but where should we go?
 * Silas: Someplace you always wanted to see. When we were young, you had a long list of places you wished you could go. We couldn't go to any of them at the time, but nothing's stopping us now!
 * Avatar: It sounds nice... but I don't think we should go far, given the circumstances.
 * Silas: Hmm, you're right. But don't worry. I'll find a way to make it work.
 * Avatar: Do you have something up your sleeve?
 * Silas: Haha, sorry if I made my plans seem grander than they are. If we can't go far, we'll limit our options to places within reach. You might not remember all the places on your old list, but I do.
 * Avatar: Great! Thanks for doing this, Silas.
 * Silas: Hey, what are friends for? Now go get packed for the trip!
 * Avatar: I will!
 * (Silas exits)
 * Avatar: Silas is a really good guy. So... how did I forget all about him? He told me not to worry about it, but there's got to be a reason...

 * Silas: Avatar! I need to talk to you about our upcoming trip.
 * Avatar: Hello, Silas! Did you draw up the list?
 * Silas: Well...about that… I started writing down all the places I could remember you wanting to visit.
 * Avatar: Goodness! That’s...a long list…
 * Silas: Yeah. The memories just kept flooding back… It got a little out of hand.
 * Avatar: I was desperate to get out into the world, wasn’t I? I can’t believe you remembered all these so many years later…
 * Silas: Haha, well, I’ve always had a keen memory. So, where on the list do you want to go? Pick any one you like.
 * Avatar: These aren’t really “places” as such, are they? “A town plaza”...”a street food stall”....”a festival”... Did I really say I wanted to go see “bugs”?!
 * Silas: That’s how I remember it.
 * Avatar: Then I’ll defer to your memory. It’s hard to decide on one, though.
 * Silas: Take your time. And you don’t need to limit yourself to one, you know. We can take multiple trips.
 * Avatar: It really is good of you to do all this for me… It’s all the more mysterious why I would have forgotten about you.
 * Silas: For goodness sake, are you still brooding over that? Why don’t we see if anyone in your retinue knows? They’ve been with you for a long time. One of them must know why, right?
 * Avatar: Yes...though I’m anxious they might have had some reason for not mentioning you…
 * Silas: Don’t worry, Avatar. I’ll come with you. Whatever they say, I’ll stand by your side.
 * Avatar: Thanks, Silas.
 * Silas: Come on, let’s get this cleared up before we do any more trip planning!
 * Avatar: Huh? Hey! Wait for me!

(Silas leaves)
 * Avatar: Silas... I'm really sorry about the other day.
 * Silas: What, for what we found out? It was a long time ago, Boffi. No need to be sorry. Though I'll admit, the truth isn't what I expected...
 * Avatar: It was a little embarrassing to learn how much I cried after I couldn't see you again.
 * Silas: I can see why they tried to take your mind off me, though. I guess they simply did too good a job...
 * Avatar: That's putting it mildly. I suppose the feelings of one noble boy weren't a priority.
 * Silas: Haha, next to the young prince? I'd have done the same thing in their shoes.
 * Avatar: You have a big heart, Silas. Though I feel my offense in forgetting about you was worse than any of theirs...
 * Silas: I'm actually relieved by what we learned.
 * Avatar: What? Why?
 * Silas: You cried every day because you weren't allowed to see me, right? Doesn't that prove i really was your closest friend?
 * Avatar: Yes, I suppose so.
 * Silas: You should know that I have no regrets about taking you outside those walls. Nothing makes me happier than helping you in whatever way I can.
 * Avatar: Silas... You're a better friend than I deserve.
 * Silas: Well, now that the past is laid to rest, it's time to focus on the present!
 * Avatar: Well said!
 * Silas: Did you decide yet what you want to see? Wait... damn, I forgot the list! Wait here just a second, and I'll be back with it.
 * Avatar: Wait, Silas! I'll come with you! You don't need to sprint!

 * Silas: *sigh*
 * Avatar: Is that Silas over there? Ho there! Silas!
 * Silas: ...
 * Avatar: How did he not hear me...? Silas! Is something troubling you?
 * Silas: Gaaah! M-my heart... don't do that to a guy!
 * Avatar: Whoops. You seemed miles away, so I was curious why.
 * Silas: W-well... You see... I was thinking about how much you've changed since we were little.
 * Avatar: Oh? Was I different then?
 * Silas: Not so much in personality, but... You're a lot... prettier.
 * Avatar: Huh?! Are you... only noticing this now?
 * Silas: No... it was the first thing that struck me upon our reunion.
 * Avatar: Really? Strange, you never mentioned it before.
 * Silas: How could I?! How could I tell you it was love at first sight...
 * Avatar: D-did you just say... love?!
 * Silas: When we were young, you were my best friend and constant playmate. But now we're adults, and... you've grown into quite the lady. The shock of seeing you this way was an arrow right through the heart. But I was so overjoyed to see you that it took time to realize what I was feeling. There's no mistaking it anymore, though. I love you, Avatar.


 * Avatar: Silas...
 * Silas: Haha, so typical of me to fall in love at first sight and take weeks to realize it.
 * Avatar: D-don't say that...
 * Silas: Hmm? Wait, why are you blushing?
 * Avatar: Why do you think?
 * Silas: Oh... Look, I know you're out of my league. I hope we can at least stay friends. If I can't be with you, I at least want to keep fighting at your side.
 * Avatar: You don't have to worry about that. I... have those same feelings for you.
 * Silas: You do?!
 * Avatar: Yes. Ever since our paths crossed again... I might not have remembered who you were, but I still felt drawn to you. For a while, I thought that was our old friendship surfacing again... But the more time I spent with you, the more I realized that wasn't it at all. I suppose you could say it was love at first sight for me too.


 * Silas: Well... how do you like that... Does this mean we can be a couple?
 * Avatar: There's no one else I'd rather be with. It's you and me... forever.
 * Silas: Agreed! I'll never let anyone take you away from me ever again!
 * Silas: I've always cherished you as my best friend, but now you're so much more. I love you, and I'm honored to be your partner in this life. I promise to never leave you again.

 * Silas: May I have a word with you?
 * Azura: Of course, Silas. How may I help you?
 * Silas: Look, I don't know how to say this without sounding rude, so I'll be straight with you.
 * Azura: That sounds ominous, but please, go ahead. There's no need for secrets.
 * Silas: Funny you should say that! You're the biggest secret keeper in the whole army.
 * Azura: I'm afraid I'm not following you.
 * Silas: You hardly say two words to anyone. You're obviously hiding something! So... What exactly are you up to?
 * Azura: Excuse me?
 * Silas: Listen... Maybe the others fall for this mystery thing you have going on, but not me. The war's at a critical point. We can't afford to drop our guard! I have some serious questions about your loyalties. You're a spy, aren't you?
 * Azura: Silas, I apologize if I've given you that impression, but no. Honestly, I don't have any secrets, and I'm certainly not plotting against our friends.
 * Silas: Our friends? Let me tell you something. My closest friend trusts you. If you ever betray Avatar, I will never forgive you. Do you understand?
 * Azura: Perfectly.

 * Silas: Wha?! Who's there?
 * Azura: Shh! It's just me.
 * Silas: Lady Azura?! Now you're attacking me in my sleep? Seriously?!
 * Azura: This is not what you're thinking.
 * Silas: It's not?! And how do you know what I'm thinking? Now you can read minds too? Oh! What is THAT? A creature of some sort?
 * Azura: You can stop shaking! The monster no longer poses a threat. He'll fade soon.
 * Silas: D-did you k-kill that thing?!
 * Azura: Yes. I was taking my usual evening stroll when I saw it slip into your tent. The monster was about to attack you while you slept. I slayed it at once.
 * Silas: Oh. I had no idea... I'm really sorry I jumped down your throat like that.
 * Azura: There's no need to apologize. People misunderstand me all the time. I'm quite used to it by now.
 * Silas: Lady Azura, wait!

 * Silas: Lady Azura, I have something to ask you.
 * Azura: Oh? And what would that be?
 * Silas: You saved my life the other day, but I don't understand. Why did you do that? I've been horrible to you. You must hate me!
 * Azura: Of course I don;t hate you. Besides, we're allies, aren't we? You were just looking out for Avatar. I understand why you said those things.
 * Silas: You do? Even after all I said, you still found it in your heart to forgive me...You are a mysterious woman, Azura, but I think I finally understand you. From now on, I'll never doubt you or your loyalty again.
 * Azura: Thank you, Silas. I would enjoy if we could be friends from now on.
 * Silas: Yes, me too!

 * Felicia: Careful...steady now... N-noooooo!
 * Silas: Practicing your poise, Felicia? Those poor innocent teacups...
 * Felicia: Ah, Master Silas! My apologies... I didn't mean for you to see that shameful display.
 * Silas: I should't make fun. You try so hard every day, and I respect that.
 * Felicia: You...came here just to say that? How very kind of you...
 * Silas: Well, no.
 * Felicia: Oh.
 * Silas: It's the opposite, actually... There are some worrying rumors going around in the ranks.
 * Felicia: Hmm? I haven't heard anything.
 * Silas: But you've noticed, I assume, that Avatar has been feeling poorly.
 * Felicia: Now that you mention it...he has seemed a bit distant.
 * Silas: As rumor has it...and it pains me to say this... People are wondering if you might be responsible for his/her diminished state.
 * Felicia: What?
 * Silas: You've spilled tea on Avatar, burnt his/her food, torn his/her laundry... The prevailing opinion is that these gaffes are taking their toll on Avatar
 * Felicia: No, but I would never...
 * Silas: I'm not saying that I agree with them. I just thought you should be apprised of what people are saying.
 * Felicia: *sigh* That makes sense. Thanks for letting me know...

B Support

 * Felicia: Almost... Deep breaths... Eeeeek! Aww...I keep trying and trying, but I never get any better... I hate that I can't do this! I with I could be better for Avatar...
 * Silas: Felicia...
 * Felicia: Silas?
 * Silas: My deepest apologies. Those rumors about Avatar's health seem to have been baseless.
 * Felicia: So he/she's alright?
 * Silas: Well, he/she's still under the weather. But it's not because of anything you did. Avatar claims he/she hasn't been feeling well because he/she isn't getting much sleep. He/she has a lot on his/her plate, after all, and not much time to get it all done. It stands to reason that he/she would have to sacrifice some sleep as a result.
 * Felicia: Oh...so that's why.
 * Silas: It was thoughtless of me to bring up those rumors to you. I should have gotten to the truth of the matter before making you so anxious. I'm very sorry...
 * Felicia: It's fine. Regardless, my mistakes have still been making Lord/Lady Avatar's life harder...
 * Silas: Not noticeably, I assure you. I wish I'd dismissed these silly rumors when the others brought them up to me... Then it might not have come to this. Is there any way I can earn your forgiveness?
 * Felicia: Earn my... But I've already forgiven you!
 * Silas: Maybe so, but I can't forgive myself until I feel I deserve it.
 * Felicia: What?
 * Silas: Surely there must be SOMETHING I can do to earn a pardon.
 * Felicia: Oh, um... I'll have to think about that...

A Support

 * Silas: Felicia... I've done a lot of thinking since the last time we spoke. I think I may have hit upon something I can do to earn your forgiveness.
 * Felicia: You really don't have to, but if you insist...
 * Silas: Why don't I give you some pointers on how to make fewer mistakes? How does that sound to you?
 * Felicia: Fewer mistakes? You think that's possible? Oh, I'd do anything...! I've been a klutz since I was a child. I'd given up hope on ever getting better...
 * Silas: Never give up hope, Felicia. It's only then that you really fail.
 * Felicia: I see... Well, I'd like to hear your idea.
 * Silas: Right! I'm sure this will help you improve. First, I want you to serve me some tea. But when you do, imagine that I'm on the brink of death. I've taken grave wounds in battle, and I'm about to breathe my last.
 * Felicia: What...?!
 * Silas: That's the picture you need to have in your head when you bring me my tea. If that's your mind-set, I guarantee that you won't spill a drop. Well? Would you like to try?
 * Felicia: I...think I understand. I'll try it, at any rate.
 * Silas: Ugh...I can see a light... If only I could have one last cup of tea...before the end...
 * Felicia: I-I'll fetch it right away! O-oh dear... This is so nerve wracking... But I can't flub this! I have to do it for Silas before he dies...! Pour the tea... Check Silas' vital signs... Add sugar... Make sure he's comfortable...
 * Silas: *cough*
 * Felicia: Oh...oh my... I-I did it!
 * Silas: Great work, Felicia! I knew you could do it if you tried! Focus on how you're feeling now... Keep that close at hand.
 * Felicia: I-I've got it! Thank you! That puts an end to this silly talk about you forgiving yourself, I hope.
 * Silas: ...Hm. Well, given that I did you a good turn, it should forgive my rudeness. Or so I think... What about you?
 * Felicia: I told you that you were forgiven days ago!
 * Silas: That's true, isn't it? So it all turned out well in the end.

S Support

 * Silas: It's good to see you again, Felicia.
 * Felicia: How may I be of service?
 * Silas: How's the job been since my advice? Are you holding your tray steady?
 * Felicia: Yes, but the thing is... I need to keep reminding myself that my guest is on the verge of death. Otherwise it doesn't help at all... And I think some of the guests notice, because they're looking at me funny...
 * Silas: Uh-oh! That's a hole in the theory I hadn't considered...
 * Felicia: Mm-hmm. It doesn't work out so well in practice.
 * Silas: I'm sorry. I didn't think it through...
 * Felicia: O-oh, but it's not a problem. I don't want you to think this means you're not forvgiven anymore...
 * Silas: Thank you, that does cheer me up a bit. It was a heady experience, though, working together with you on a project. I'd like to rekindle that flame.
 * Felicia: Hmm... ?
 * Silas: In that spirit, i'd like to give you this.
 * Felicia: Silas... is this... are you... ?
 * Silas: It's a wedding ring, yes. Consider this my marriage proposal.
 * Felicia: Oh my! R-really?
 * Silas: I've fallen hopelessly for you. I can't imagine spending my life apart from you. Your clumsiness... your hard-working nature... I wouldn't change a thing.
 * Felicia: No one's ever said that to me before... If I'm the woman you want, then I happily accept your ring.
 * Silas: Indeed?
 * Felicia: Yes... though if you cheat on me, all bets are off.
 * Silas: Hah! If I ever cheat oun you, I deserve whatever punishment you mete out. Feel free to pour scalding tea on me until I really am at death's door...

 * Silas: Oh, hi, Jako. How are things?
 * Jakob: Silas. Caught up on some fool's errand of mercy, I trust?
 * Silas: H-how did you know?
 * Jakob: It's clear on your face. You have the look of a man acting selflessly. I'm surprised that philosophy hasn't worn you down into a husk of a man by now.
 * Silas: Say what you want. I'm no hero...
 * Jakob: Yet you've never met sob story you won't hear in full.
 * Silas: Well, you have me there...
 * Jakob: The more you listen, the more spellbound you become...Until you're more weighted down by the problem than its actual sufferer. Am I wrong?
 * Silas: Not...exactly...
 * Jakob: Well! This sounds to me like the very definition of a hero. My condolences.

 * Silas: ...
 * Jakob: Oh dear, a do-gooder in the dumps. I'd best keep my distance.
 * Silas: Jakob...
 * Jakob: Ugh. Kindly keep those puppy-dog eyes to yourself.
 * Silas: No, just listen for a second.
 * Jakob: Absolutely not. Whatever is troubling you, keep it to yourself.
 * Silas: Don't say that! You can at least give me a little of your time.
 * Jakob: A little is all you want, eh? You have 10 seconds. Talk.
 * Silas: What do you say to someone who adamantly refuses to battle?
 * Jakob: So then, some fresh-faced young soldier has cold feet? You care far too much... The idea of getting so involved in someone else's issues is utterly foreign to me.
 * Silas: He said he doesn't want to die, because he left someone behind when he went to war.
 * Jakob: Then he should return home.
 * Silas: That's what I said, but he protested that he can't abandon his unit here.
 * Jakob: Then he should stay.
 * Silas: Come on, be serious!
 * Jakob: I'm being as serious as I need to be. If anyone isn't approaching the problem with sufficient gravity, it's your soldier. If he had time to share his sob story with you... he has time to think seriously about his dilemma and find a solution.
 * Silas: ... You're right. There's nothing I can tell him he doesn't already know. He needs to decide himself. Thanks, Jakob. I'll go and have a chat with the poor guy.
 * Jakob: What a waste of my time...

 * Silas: Jakob! Wait up!
 * Jakob: Ah, if it isn't Silas the do-gooder.
 * Silas: Thanks for your advice the other day. The soldier I was talking to ended up going back home.
 * Jakob: I don't need a debriefing on this. It's none of my concern.
 * Silas: Hahah, you're such a sourpuss.
 * Jakob: Don't laugh at me.
 * Silas: Sorry. It's just that you keep calling me a do-gooder... And it turns out you're not such a bad guy yourself.
 * Jakob: ... Excuse me?
 * Silas: Just take the other day, for instance. I asked you to listen to a problem of mine, and you gave me some advice on it.
 * Jakob: ...
 * Silas: I have to say, it was a huge weight off my shoulders. I really owe you.
 * Jakob: Then repay me at once.
 * Silas: Sorry, what?
 * Jakob: I demand you repay the time I wasted listening to your drivel. Me, a do-gooder... it's absurd. It's slander. I won't stand for it. You will restore that time to me at once.
 * Silas: J-Just how do you suggest I give you back your time?!
 * Jakob: There you go again, expecting me to solve your problems. Reprehensible. I'll be collecting each and every second from you before long.
 * Silas: All right, already! I take back what I said about you being a do-gooder. You're as cold as the wind off the Northern Fortress tower...
 * Jakob: So long as we understand each other. That way, I won't get caught up in dealing with other people's tedious problems.
 * Silas: This is ridiculous. How far are you willing to go to hide your embarrassment?
 * Jakob: Are you still here?
 * Silas: Not for long!

 * Kaze: Something occurred to me. You saved my life, and I thought I should do something to repay you.
 * Silas: Don't worry about it. I did what anyone would have done in those circumstances.
 * Kaze: I can't settle for that. I'll do anything you like; simply name it.

 * Silas: Ahhh...now that's a tasty apple. Ripened to perfection. Brimming with juice. Just the way I like it. Huh? That's weird, I'm positive I only packed one apple today. So why am I seeing double?
 * Kaze: My apologies. I thought this was what you wanted.
 * Silas: Kaze?! When the blazes did you get here?!
 * Kaze: Though I am but a lowly ninja, I'm trained to move swiftly and silently. You appeared to enjoy apples, so I brought you another one.
 * Silas: So, that's it... Thanks? I guess? Wait...are you still trying to pay me back for that Faceless thing?
 * Kaze: Yes. And I'm afraid however juicy an apple I find for you...when weighed against a life, it will always be lacking. My debt has yet to be repaid.

 * Kaze: I'm sorry. I didn't mean for it to become a problem...
 * Silas: I'm not mad. I know what you're trying to do, and I appreciate it. I hate feeling like I owe people too. I'd give anything to square a debt--even my life. So I kind of know where you're coming from on this.
 * Kaze: I had no idea... Silas! Get down!
 * Silas: Huh?!
 * Kaze: Hah!
 * Faceless: Gyaaaah...!
 * Kaze: Were you hurt?
 * Silas: A Faceless? Here? That was close... Thanks, Kaze. Heh, you saved me this time.
 * Kaze: Don't mention it. I'm only glad that it didn't get to you.
 * Silas: You've certainly repaid the favor now. Actually, I might owe YOU...
 * Kaze: I'm glad to hear that. Although I feel a bit empty, knowing I have nothing let to repay for you...
 * Silas: Well, if that's your only problem... Why don't we get together without all this favor business dragging us down? Something tells me it'll be freeing for both of us.
 * Kaze: Do you mean that?
 * Silas: One thing, though...wear heavier boots when you do. It gives me the willies when you creep up behind me like a ghost.
 * Kaze: I understand. I'll try and give you more warning from now on.
 * Silas: Good. Do that, and you're all right in my book.

 * Mozu: Silas... Do you think I should ditch and go home?
 * Silas: I don't understand. Why would you?
 * Mozu: Oh, you know... I'm not too strong, and I worry about holding everyone back. I practice 'til I'm blue in the face, but it's just not working. Everyone else is a natural. they get better by leaps and bounds. Not me, though... I'm not fit for anything but working the fields. I'm thinking I should find myself the nearest village and sign on as a farmhand.
 * Silas: I didn't know you felt this way...
 * Mozu: Sorry for talking your ear off, Silas. It was real good of you to listen.
 * Silas: No worries. In fact, I know just what we should do.

 * Silas: "I don't have the knack." "I'm just a simple farm girl." "It's impossible." How are you ever going to succeed if this is what you tell yourself, over and over?
 * Mozu: Huh?
 * Silas: More than anything, it's thinking like this that's holding you back.
 * Mozu: ...
 * Silas: So we're going to keep practicing. And sorry, but I won't take no for an answer. Is that clear?
 * Mozu: Umm...
 * Silas: "Umm" isn't any better than "no." Listen to me, Mozu. You have potential. It's clear to me, if not to you.
 * Mozu: ...
 * Silas: And I think it's a sin to waste that potential.
 * Mozu: A sin?!
 * Silas: Yes. It's a sin against your parents, who blessed you with this potential. It's a sin against your friends, who've put their faith in you.

 * Silas: Me? What did I do?
 * Mozu: You convinced me I have potential. After that tongue-lashing you gave me, I felt like taking another try. The whole reason I'm doing this good is so I can live up to your expectations. So thanks, Silas!
 * Silas: Nothing is impossible if you try. I know that from experience...
 * Mozu: What do you mean?
 * Silas: I've never considered myself particularly talented. I come from a noble family, but that doesn't mean much when it comes to combat.
 * Mozu: I dunno... for a farm girl like me, it's pretty dang impressive!
 * Silas: It's not, trust me. I only made it as a knight because I never gave up.
 * Mozu: Oh... You know, I bet I could get to be whatever I wanted with your help. I hope you'll keep on coaching me!

 * Silas: Did I really eat five slices...?
 * Mozu: Yep.
 * Silas: I believe you. It was that good. In fact, it makes me wish I could have your cooking every day...
 * Mozu: Aww, Silas, you kidder. Though I mean, if you're serious, I wouldn't mind! You could come by every day.
 * Silas: Oh? I might take you up on that. Although... making the trip to your place might be tedious. It would be easier if we just lived together.
 * Mozu: Huh? Are you asking me to be your maid or something?
 * Silas: Hahaha, no, no. Not my maid. I want you to be... well, here.

 * Silas: Nice to see you, Princess Hinoka. What can I do for you?
 * Hinoka: I had some questions I thought you could help me with. It's about the finer points of Nohrian cavalry tactics.
 * Silas: You've come to the right place, then. What do you want to know?
 * Hinoka: So, when your unit first sights and enemy...
 * Hinoka: Ahh...that explains a lot.
 * Silas: Did that satisfy your curiosity?
 * Hinoka: Yeah. Though I'm surprised by some of your answers.
 * Silas: In what way?
 * Hinoka: Apart from a few minor details, it's not that different than how we do things here.
 * Silas: A knight is a knight. A sword is a sword. There's only so much possible variance.
 * Hinoka: Hmm...yeah, maybe so.
 * Silas: "Maybe"? You still have some doubt?

 * Hinoka: Question for you, Silas. During that last battle, your troop had and enemy unit cornered. One of them saw that all was lost and threw down his weapon, right?
 * Silas: Yes, I remember that.
 * Hinoka: You then ordered your troops to change course and attack another front?
 * Silas: Right. Our efforts would be wasted on the enemy who'd already surrendered. Why do you ask?
 * Hinoka: It never corssed your mind what a triumph it would have been to finish the other foe? You'd racked up a considerable count in that battle, after all. This would have been an easy way to add to the total.
 * Silas: Wh—I would never! He may have been our enemy, but he'd laid down his weapon. He posed no threat. What "triumph" would there have been in his death? It's cowardice, pure and simple!
 * Hinoka: Hmm... you're right.
 * Silas: I can't believe what I'm hearing. Especially from you, Princess Hinoka.
 * Hinoka: Don't misunderstand me. I wasn't saying that'ws what you should have done. And I didn't mean any insult by it. Though I'm relieved you reacted the way you did.
 * Silas: Relieved?

 * Hinoka: Refresh my memory?
 * Silas: You were questioning my decision not to attack and enemy who'd surrendered.
 * Hinoka: Oh, that. Sorry if it's still bothering you.
 * Silas: I was mostly wondering why you would ask me that. Which reminds me, you wanted to know before about Nohrian tactics. Are the two subjects related somehow?
 * Hinoka: The truth is, I wasn't quite sure how to fight alongside a Nohrian. It's not that I distrust you, but...
 * Silas: But what?
 * Hinoka: I was concerned that your perspective on the rules of engagement would be different. I mean... Nohrians murdered my father and kidnapped my brother. So deep down, it's hard not to think of Nohrians as willing to stop at nothing.
 * Silas: Yes, but not ALL—
 * Hinoka: Right, of course. I'm not holding the whole nation to account for one man's actions. But that one man does lead the military. So for all I know, you've been trained to use any means necessary. And if you have, then we need to talk about that before we can work together in battle.
 * Silas: So you asked me those leading questions to provoke me into revealing myself.
 * Hinoka: Sorry. It seemed like the fastest way. You command a troop. I thought that your idea of tactics would be revealing.
 * Silas: And what did you discover?
 * Hinoka: I told you already, didn't I? I was relieved.
 * Silas: Then you think the two of us fight well together?
 * Hinoka: I do. You'll remember that I also already said I'll be counting on you.
 * Silas: Well then! With the air cleared between us, I'll be happy to help!

 * Hinoka: Silas...? Why did you ask to meet me all the way up here in the mountains?
 * Silas: Princess Hinoka. I'm glad you came.
 * Hinoka: Did you want to discuss strategy for the upcoming campaign? Or do you still have a bone to pick over our last conversation?
 * Silas: Neither, really. I wanted to get your opinion on some plans I've been making.
 * Hinoka: Oh?
 * Silas: Yes... I had a notion of establishing a new home here.
 * Hinoka: You'd build a house here? Way up on top of a mountain? Why...?
 * Silas: It might not be obvious, but we're standing on the border between Hoshido and Nohr. It's very safe, mind you—there's nothing here but hte native wildlife.
 * Hinoka: Hmm. It's got quite a view, too.
 * Silas: Yes... *ahem* Pardon me as I summon up some courage to say this next bit. When the house is built, Princess Hinoka, I hope that you'll live here with me.
 * Hinoka: ...Here? ...Me? ... What?
 * Silas: As husband and wife.
 * Hinoka: D-did I hear that right?
 * Silas: Yes. I want you to marry me.
 * Hinoka: But... But that's impossible!
 * Silas: Why?
 * Hinoka: Isn't is obvious? I'm the high princess of Hoshido. And from what i understand, you come from a noble Nohrian family. A relationship between us needs more than a simple mountainside agreement to work!
 * Silas: Which is why I want to build a house here. It's not exactly in Hoshido or in Nohr. We'd live right on the line, in both senses... I, a Nohrian noble married to the high princess of Hoshido. You, the high princess of Hoshido wed to a Nohrian nobleman.
 * Hinoka: ... it could never hold. We'd be forced to commit one way or the other.
 * Silas: I don't think so. There is some precedent. Just look at Avatar, who embodies both Hoshido and Nohr.
 * Hinoka: ...
 * Silas: You know me well by now, and because of that, you've trusted me this far. When you put me to the test, you did so because you thought we were well matched. Isn't that right?
 * Hinoka: Yes... but I meant well matched on the battefield. Not in life.
 * Silas: ...Oh. I fear I've made a serious mistake...
 * Hinoka: Don't be so sure. We know not that we make a good team in combat. And I think, now that you mention it, I'd like to see if we'd be a good team in life.
 * Silas: Then...
 * Hinoka: Yes. Consider your proposal accepted.
 * Silas: Well, if taht's settled... would you care to stay here with me a little longer? It's a long way down the mountain, after all. Let's realx here awhile and talk about our furute on the site of our new home...

 * Sakura: But you told us that you were my sister's/brother's oldest friend.
 * Silas: Yes. Which was true.
 * Sakura: B-but Avatar said (s)he didn't recognize you... So I thought there must have been something wrong with your memory.
 * Silas: Er... what?
 * Sakura: Except I couldn't find any bumps or bruises. Which left only one explanation...  Y-you must be cursed!
 * Silas: No, no, no. You've got this all wrong.  I'm not sick or cursed or anything of the sort.  I really am Avatar 's best friend.  I know Avatar said (s)he didn't remember at first...  But (s)he figured it out not long afterward.
 * Sakura: Y-yes, except... Avatar was only saying that to be polite.  I-I think (s)he changed her/his story out of sympathy for you and your condition...
 * Silas: No, you don't understand. I absolutely am an old friend of Avatar's. But we were both very young and hadn't seen each other in a long time.  That's why (s)he didn't remember me immediately.
 * Sakura: R...really?
 * Silas: Really. Just ask your sister/brother or our Nohrian friends.
 * Sakura: ... So... that's the truth of it? I'm terribly sorry, then...
 * Silas: No, it's fine.  Now that we've got the misunderstanding smoothed out, anyway.  I was taken aback, that's all...  I'm curious, though...  Did you really climb up into the mountains to get those herbs for me?
 * Sakura: Yes... I-I was worried about what else the curse might do to you... I'm so sorry... about everything... I'll be more careful from now on.

 * Oboro: ...Yeah. Right in front of me.
 * Silas: I'm sorry for touching a sore spot last time, then. I didn't know.
 * Oboro: That's OK. I'm not mad about it. I've fought alongside you long enough by now to know you're all right. I mean, look at me - I'm not making that face right now, am I?
 * Silas: Sure enough. Oboro...having lived in Nohr all my life, let me just say one thing on its behalf. Nohr has its share of heartless villains like the bandits who killed your parents. But there are good people living there too. Many Nohrians are decent folk, just like the people of Hoshido.

 * Silas: What about it?
 * Oboro: Why did you save the Hoshidans? Were you trying to prove your loyalty, now that you're not with Nohr anymore? 
 * Silas: No. I'd have done the same if it were Hoshidan bandits attacking Nohrian peasants.
 * Oboro: So, what's the deal? 
 * Silas: It's a knight's duty to protect the innocent. Now, some might say protecting innocents from an enemy nation is going too far...but in my book, that's the mark of a true knight.
 * Oboro: Hmm...you know, you told me before that there are good people in Nohr. And you know what? You were right. You're living proof of it. 
 * Silas: I'm glad I could help change your mind.

 * Oboro: But what about you? Are you sure you want to spend your life with me?
 * Silas: What kind of question is that? Of course!

 * Hana: What's that?
 * Silas: It may not be my place to say this, but what was wrong in the battle?
 * Hana: Excuse me?
 * Silas: I heard that you're considered one of the best samurai in Hoshido. I was excited to see your technique in action and had high expectations. To tell you the truth... I was a little disappointed in your performance.
 * Hana: What! How dare you...?!
 * Silas: Your first blows were surprisingly weak. And you don't even try to anticipate and counter the attacks from your enemies. You appear uncommitted to the battle, putting yourself and your allies in danger.
 * Hana: Well... I didn't sleep very well last night. And I skipped breakfast this morning. Usually I'm a lot better than that.
 * Silas: Hrm... Why is it that you've taken up the sword, Hana? What are you fighting for?
 * Hana: That's obvious. I'm fighting for my liege and best friend, Lady Sakura.
 * Silas: So I can infer the loyalty Lady Sakura deserves from the quality of your fighting. She does not deserve much if this is how you fight in her name...
 * Hana: Excuse me?! I'll pretend, for the moment, that you did not directly insult me. But I won't let you slight Lady Sakura's character!

 * Silas: I think I see where this is going... Is this some kind of payback for my comments the other day?
 * Hana: It sure is! So I'll ask you the same thing you asked me: Just what is it you're fighting for?
 * Silas: That's easy to answer. I'm fighting for Lord/Lady Avatar, my old friend.
 * Hana: Old friend, huh? Seems exactly like my reasoning.
 * Silas: Hah, I hardly think it is fair to compare the two of us. My dedication is far stronger. That the situations are similar is a coincidence.
 * Hana: Whaaat?! OK, I don't know exactly know how strongly you feel for Avatar, but... I am really dedicated to Lady Sakura.
 * Silas: Oh? Go on. Tell me how deep your loyalty runs.
 * Hana: All right! Lady Sakura and I are like... ...
 * Silas: What's the matter?
 * Hana: I'm not going to do it. Our relationship cannot be expressed adequately in words. I think trying to do so would only cheapen it.
 * Silas: I see. Well, you may have a point there. It wouldn't be right to try and describe my bond with Avatar, either.
 * Hana: But then how can we determine who holds their friend in the higher regard? I'm not the one to leave a contest unresolved.
 * Silas: Hm, that's true for me as well.
 * Hana: Then why don't we do this - we'll show our loyalty through direct competition. Whenever possible, we'll meet here and spar.

 * Silas: I could say the same for you. I have new respect for the Hoshidans.

 * Hana: Huh? What are you talking about? We agreed to keep sparring to keep our new friendship alive! Is this some new tactic?
 * Silas: No! I just... I wanted you to take this. It's a wedding ring.
 * Hana: Aha! Trying to throw my balance off with jewelry? I don't think so. Thanks but no thanks! Draw your weapon! ... Uh, wait a minute! Did you say wedding ring?
 * Silas: That's right.
 * Hana: Whaaaaat?!
 * Silas: I like you so much, I can hardly stand it. I want to marry you.
 * Hana: OK.
 * Silas: That was a quick reply.
 * Hana: Well, I like you too, so it makes the decision really, really easy!
 * Silas: You do? Since when?
 * Hana: Well, I don't know the very exact moment... It was soon after we started sparring.
 * Silas: I see... I can't tell you how happy that makes me. But I have to say, I think I started liking you before you started liking me.
 * Hana: What? You're actually challenging me on this?
 * Silas: In fact, I'm positive that I liked you first.
 * Hana: I don't believe you. What proof do you have?
 * Silas: It has nothing to do with proof. It's really more of a gut feeling. I trust my gut.
 * Hana: That's not fair! Maybe I'm sure I liked you first! What do you say to that?
 * Silas: I'd say that's pretty unlikely.
 * Hana: Hrmph... Well, I bet I like you more than you like me, then!
 * Silas: How can you say that! I'm a hundred percent sure I like you more!
 * Hana: Pfft!
 * Silas: You want to fight over it?
 * Hana: Yeah! I'm not going to back down. You'd better be ready!
 * Silas: Oh, I am. Prepare yourself! Let our weapons do the talking!

 * Orochi: Aha!  I finally found you.  You're the one who goes by the name Silas, right?  I am Orochi, the great diviner of Hoshido.  I see all.
 * Silas: Ha, really? If you see all, why'd it take you so long to find me?  Why ask my name?  In any case, I'm the one you're looking for- Silas, knight of Nohr.  Now, no more strange business.  Just tell me what you want.
 * Orochi: Oh, then I'll get to the point.  I've heard that you know Avatar well.  You're also said to be quite the impressive swordsman, Silas.  Which is why I've come to warn you.
 * Silas: Warn me? Of what?
 * Orochi: I've... I've seen something terrible. You... you should be careful in the next battle.
 * Silas: Wh-what?!  What's going to happen to me?
 * Orochi: Something TERRIBLE.
 * Silas: Terr-? Oh, ha!  You almost had me!  But I'm not going to fall for your strange act, Orochi.  Not in a million years!

 * Rinkah: Nice try. I'm only here to fight. Apart from that, I'll have nothing to do with you. It's the law of my tribe.
 * Silas: Hmm... Then I challenge you to a fight.
 * Rinkah: Is this a joke?
 * Silas: It's a special kind of battle, called Predator. You'll love it, I promise.
 * Rinkah: Huh. Tell me more.
 * Silas: It's a traditional Nohrian war game.
 * Rinkah: Oh yeah? How does it work?
 * Silas: It's simple. One of us is the predator, or just "it," who chases the prey. If the one who's it manages to touch the prey, like this, then the prey loses.
 * Rinkah: H-hey! Hands off!
 * Silas: So now that I touched you, you're "it," and it's your turn to chase me.

 * Camilla: Silas, do you have a moment? I have a favor to ask of you.
 * Silas: Certainly. How can I help you, Lady Camilla?
 * Camilla: It's quite simple. I just need you to relay a message to Avatar for me? Please tell her/him that I love her/him.
 * Silas: Um... That seems like the kind of thing you might want to tell her/him in person.
 * Camilla: Well, sure. I tell her/him every day.
 * Silas: Yeeeah. So, I would think that would be sufficient...
 * Camilla: And you would be wrong! Lately, Avatar has hardly seemed to react to my proclamations of love. I'm not sure what's going on, but I decided that I need to try a new approach.
 * Silas: Have you considered scaling back? Perhaps Avatar feels overwhelmed?
 * Camilla: ...
 * Silas: Never mind- I would be happy to help. Now, what exactly would you like for me to say?
 * Camilla: Let's see... How about, "I love you, schmoopie!" And "You're sooooooooooo sweet!" Please be sure to relay both messages. Accuracy is paramount.

 * Silas: Hello, Lady Elise. I'm happy to report that I've successfully fulfilled your request. I located that starving family you mentioned and delivered a month's worth of food.
 * Elise: Wow, what a relief! Thank you, Silas! I'm sorry I asked you for such a big favor. Really, thanks a million!
 * Silas: Not to worry, milady. Helping others is a passion of mine.
 * Elise: Hee hee, you're so great. How can I ever thank you?
 * Silas: You have already thanked me. Twice. That is more than sufficient, milady.
 * Elise: Oh, don't be such a goose. Surely there must be something you'd like as a reward? Come on, don't be shy! Tell me! Tell me! TELL ME!
 * Silas: Ah, um, I mean... are you certain?! If so, I suppose... Well, to be honest, I do have something in mind. Maybe... you could be my little sister for a day.
 * Elise: Huh?!
 * Silas: Well, this is a little embarrassing, but... seeing you and Avatar together makes me long for a sibling of my own.
 * Elise: That's really all you want? A sister for a day?
 * Silas: It is. Doesn't it sound like fun?
 * Elise: It sounds... like a blast! This is gonna be great!
 * Silas: So you'll really do it? Wow! Th-thank you, Lady Elise!

 * Silas: Ha ha, well...I was thinking... we could get into an argument!
 * Elise: An argument? Really?! I don't understand...
 * Silas: That's what siblings do, right? And they say the more you fight, the closer you become!
 * Elise: I have never heard anyone say that, no. I'm gonna tell it to you straight, Silas. That' is a really, REALLY dumb idea. Let's do something fun instead!
 * Silas: Oh...OK. You're probably right.
 * Elise: Do you have anything else in mind?
 * Silas: No...that's all I could come up with.
 * Elise: Oh...
 * Silas: What do you suggest, Lady Elise? Is there anything you and Avatar do that's especially sibling-like?
 * Elise: Oh! OH! We train together sometimes!
 * Silas: You train? Like, for battle?
 * Elise: Yeah! What do ya think?
 * Silas: I don't know... What if I hurt you? I could never forgive myself.
 * Elise: Why?
 * Silas: Why?! Because, um, hurting sweet little girls for fun is...you know...wrong.

 * Silas: Hello, Lady Elise.
 * Elise: Hi, Silas!
 * Silas: So I've been thinking about Sister Day, and I've made up my mind. If you wish to train together, then that's what we'll do.

 * Silas: Really. If some terrible accident happens, I'm prepared to pay the cost. People will throw stones, and I'll surely be hanged by my Nohrian friends... But if that is your wish, then so be it.
 * Elise: Hmm... So, yeah, about that...
 * Silas: Is something wrong?
 * Elise: Weeell, now that I think about it, maybe that's not the best idea.
 * Silas: Oh? What made you change your mind?
 * Elise: Well, I realized that all siblings bond in different ways. I've never trained with Xander once! So if you're gonna be my brother, Silas, we should think of something special. You're not mad, are you? I know you finally made up your mind and all...
 * Silas: No worries at all. We'll figure something out. This is harder than I thought...
 * Elise: Oh, I know! Why don't we ask around? get some fresh ideas? OOH! We can hold a tea party and all brainstorm and eat cookies! It will be so fun! People can share stories about how they bond with their siblings. We're bound to hear an idea that's perfect for us!
 * Silas: That's a wonderful idea, Lady Elise.
 * Elise: Isn't it? OK! Let's go invite everyone!
 * Silas: Yes, let's!

 * Silas: Lady Elise! I wanted to thank you for the other day. The tea party was delightful. I can't recall the last time I laughed so hard! I will always remember that day with great fondness.
 * Elise: I'm glad YOU had a good time. I'm a little bummed, to be honest. I was really hoping we could figure out a fun sibling thing to do together. I guess it's hopeless... *SIGH*
 * Silas: Actually...that's not a problem. I think I changed my mind about my reward.
 * Elise: Huh, really? After all that?! Well, what DO you want then?
 * Silas: Well, instead of a sister, I was wondering... *GULP* Well, I was hoping that... Maybe you would consent to be my wife instead.
 * Elise: ... ... ... Oh! I think I get it. You mean just for a day, like the sister thing. Right? That's no problem at all.
 * Silas: Actually...I meant forever. Though I more than understand if you wish to decline.
 * Elise: Silas...
 * Silas: I've had feelings for you for a while now. Lately, you're all I can think about. I thought just being near you would be enough, thus the sister idea. I probably should keep these emotions to myself, but I can't stand it any longer.
 * Elise: I had no idea...
 * Silas: Lady Elise, I'll only ask this once. If you say no I shall leave you alone forever. You are everything to me. Will you do me the honor of being my wife?
 * Elise: Oh my...what a beautiful ring. But I wonder...
 * Silas: May I inquire as to the cause of your hesitation? Am I not worthy of you?
 * Elise: No, it's not that! You're kind and faithful, and...and I have feelings for you too. But if we can't even think of sibling things to do, what will we do when we're married?
 * Silas: Oh, is that it? That's no concern at all! I was only lost for suggestions because I didn't want to tip my hand to you. When we're married, we can do whatever we please. Picnics, long walks, anything. My only concern in life will be to make sure you are as happy as possible.
 * Elise: Oh Silas... Do you mean it?
 * Silas: With all my heart, milady. I know a lowly knight is unworthy of a fair princess, but please consider.
 * Elise: Don't speak that way about my future husband!
 * Silas: A-are you saying what I think you're saying?!
 * Elise: I'd be honred to share my life with you, dear Silas. I'm so happy!

 * Silas: What do you mean?
 * Effie: Well, I mean, I'm here because I'm sworn to protect Lady Elise. I owe here everything--and she's my best friend--so it's a natural arrangement. But you're not anyone's retainer. What's in it for you?
 * Silas: I see. So, you think I'm some kind of mercenary?
 * Effie: No, that's not it. I guess I'd just struggle with motivation if it weren't for Lady Elise. And yet you're so dedicated...and one of our strongest fighters. So, if you're not just in it for yourself, why are you here?
 * Silas: Well, Effie, I'm really no different than you. I'm here to protect Avatar. We have a long, complicated history, but I would do anything to protect him/her. That's all there is to it!
 * Effie: I don't think that's true at all.
 * Silas: What?! How can you say that?
 * Effie: The part about you being no different than me. That's just not true!
 * Silas: Well, I'm not going to stand here and argue with you. But it seems rather obvious to me...

 * Effie: I'm not sure. That's just how I feel.
 * Silas: Well, that's vague. I'm just as dedicated as you. Why can't you see it?
 * Effie: Sure, if you say so.

 * Effie: Don't bother.
 * Silas: Yeesh, what's wrong with you?

 * Effie: Silas, I watched you carefully in that last battle. And now I can demonstrate precisely how we are different.

 * Effie: Take a look here, under my armor.

 * Effie: Now look at this scar.
 * Silas: Oh, Effie. I had no idea you had suffered such grievous wounds.
 * Effie: To protect someone is to sacrifice your own flesh and blood. My dedication to Elise. is total. So these don't even bother me. You don't appear to have suffered the same types of wounds. You're very skilled in battle--you have immense talent. But I have to train around the clock just to stay alive out there.
 * Silas: Your point is taken. And I do not wish to make this a competition. But please understand that I too have suffered in battle. Not everything come quite so easily to me. I think the most important thing is that we both strive to protect above all else.
 * Effie: Yes...after seeing your defense of Lord/Lady Avatar, I believe you.
 * Silas: Thank you, Effie. It is gratifying to hear those words Perhaps we can make better use of our individual strengths in the next battle? For example, I could take a forward position, ahead of you and Lady Elise. And Avatar, of course. That way, I can protect all of you.
 * Effie: I'm sorry, Silas, but that doesn't work for me. I need to be able to see up front.
 * Silas: Yes, I suppose your style is suited to an aggressive postition...
 * Effie: More importantly...I won't get any stronger if I just stand behind you. I need to be mixing it up if I want to improve my skills. Surely you understand.
 * Silas: Of course. Let's simply make a pact to cooperate whenever possible. In defense of the ones we care about, of course.

 * Silas: Well, sure she is. You’re her son. She’ll always think of you as her baby boy.
 * Kana: I know, I know. I just mean I’m not as much of a child as I used to be. I want to help out more. But whenever I try, she just tells me to go play with my friends instead.
 * Silas: I see. You want some responsibilities.
 * Kana: Right! I want to be someone she can rely on. Do you have any ideas for things I could do for her?
 * Silas: Hm… In my case, I usually take her to see new places.
 * Kana: And that makes her happy?
 * Silas: Yeah, she loves it. Growing up, she was kept locked away in a fortress by the King of Nohr. So she relishes every opportunity she gets to see new things.
 * Kana: Oh…
 * Silas: Hm? Something wrong?
 * Kana: I guess I was looking more for special things that I could do for her…
 * Silas: I see. Let me think…
 * Kana: I know! Let’s have a contest, Papa!
 * Silas: A contest?
 * Kana: Yeah! We’ll have a contest to see which of us can make Mama happier! Between the two of us, I’m sure we can come up with all sorts of things. Whoever gets thanked the most wins!
 * Silas: A little friendly competition between father and son, huh? Sounds fun. Count me in.

 * Kana: WOW! That’s a lot! You got all of these already?

 * Silas: W-wait a minute! This is the same number I have!
 * Kana: It is? It is! Haha! Kana’s gonna beat you big-time! After all, I don’t have to work, so I can spend all day doing things for mama!
 * Silas: That’s, uh… that’s actually a pretty good point. So you’ve been spending all of every day helping out? What exactly do you do?
 * Kana: Mostly I’ve been trying to help out around camp. I spend each morning making arrows for the fletchers. Then at lunch I chop the vegetables for the cooks and hand out the food. Oh! And at night, I make sure the mounts are all fed and outfitted for the next day. Plus I do a bunch of other little things whenever I have the time!
 * Silas: That’s a lot of work. And you’ve been doing this every day? You really have grown up, haven’t you?
 * Kana: Huh?
 * Silas: Just a thought. Maybe I’ve been treating you like too much of a child as well. Wasn’t that long ago that you were still a babe in swaddling clothes. And now, suddenly, you’re making real, important contributions to the army. It took me off guard, is all.
 * Kana: Heehee. Yeah, I’ve been working real hard. Soon there’ll be nothing I can’t do!
 * Silas: I believe it. And I bet Avatar is very grateful for all the good work you’ve been doing.
 * Kana: “Good work”… Hm. I just realized… Mama hasn’t really been saying “thank you” to me very much. She just tells me “good work” and smiles. It’s kind of a sad smile, come to think of it…

Is she just pretending I’m doing a good job?
 * Silas: Oh, is that all? Haha. You don’t have to worry, Kana. It’s not you.
 * Kana: Then why doesn’t she want me to help with anything?
 * Silas: Avatar knows full well you’re capable of taking on new responsibilities. But it makes her worry. And it makes her lonely.
 * Kana: Huh? Why?
 * Silas: She doesn’t want you to miss out on your childhood. And she doesn’t want to lose her little boy. She’s happy to see you growing up, but she’s worried you won’t need her anymore.
 * Kana: But… I’m just trying to pull my own weight. I don’t get why that would be a bad thing…
 * Silas: Heh. I’m not sure I can explain it, myself. But I have a suggestion for you. Keep helping your mother like you have been, but don’t work yourself quite as hard. Take breaks to see your friends and play games. And it wouldn’t hurt to try and spend some quality time with her now and then. Think you can handle that?
 * Kana: But…
 * Silas: Hm? Do you not want to spend time with your mother?
 * Kana: No, that’s not it! It’s just… I feel like that stuff is for babies.
 * Silas: No, Kana. It’s not for babies. It’s for children. And your mother wants you to be a child for just a little while longer. We both do.
 * Kana: Papa…
 * Silas: We know that you’re growing up and that you want to be relied upon. You’re going to be a great man someday. We both know it. But for now… relax. Enjoy yourself. At least a little bit, here and there.
 * Kana: OK. Thanks, Papa. I’ll think real hard about everything you’ve said.
 * Silas: Good. You know… I think it would be good if you spent some quality time with your mother tonight. Have a nice night in, just the two of you. I’ll go talk to her about it now.
 * Kana: Wait! Aren’t you gonna stay with us?
 * Silas: Huh? No, I’ve got some plans with other people in ca-
 * Kana: But, Papa! Don’t you need to take a break sometimes too? I thought you wanted me and Mama to be happy!
 * Silas: …OK, sure. When you put it like that, I can’t really say no, can I?
 * Kana: Yaaay!
 * Silas: *sigh* I’ll never be able to say no to that boy. A night in with the family, huh? Maybe I could get used to this…

 * Silas: Good morning, Shigure. You're painting again, I see.
 * Shigure: Oh, hello, Father...I didn't hear you enter. I'm sorry, I...I know this is no time to be painiting. We are at war, after all.
 * Silas: Now now, I didn't come here to scold you. Honestly, I feel rather sorry for you. If things were different, you could paint as much as you like. Honestly, you would probably be a famous artist in a better world.
 * Shigure: That's very kind of you to say.
 * Silas: This is so frustrating! If only there was a way to show off these wonderful paintings of yours...
 * Shigure: It's not that important...
 * Silas: Wait...Ha! I know just what to do! How would you feel about holding a solo exhibition?
 * Shigure: An exhibition? Oh, Father, I could never do that. With our troops on the advance, the timing would never work out. The setup alone would require far too much effort.
 * Silas: It doesn't need to be so grand. All we have to do is reserve a tent and announce it to the troops and villagers.
 * Shigure: B-but it feels wrong to use a tent just for personal use...
 * Silas: No, this will be fine. In times of war, it's especially important to seek out emotional relief. Everyone is exhausted, and what they really need is some peace of mind. Your artwork can provide that for everyone!
 * Shigure: I'm not sure...
 * Silas: I certainly won't force your hand. What are your thoughts?
 * Shigure: Well...OK. Let's give it a shot. It would be a lie to say that I'm not nervous about the idea though...
 * Silas: This will be wonderful. Just you wait. We should get started right away. I'll head into town to ask around for help.
 * Shigure: Thank you, Father.

 * Shigure: Hello, Father...
 * Silas: Ah, Shigure. Did you need something?
 * Shigure: No, not really...You've done so much to make this exhibition possible...I wanted to say how much I appreciate all of your hard work.
 * Silas: Now, Son, don't give me too much credit. I've only helped a little bit. You're the artist! Everyone in town is excited for the show. That's why they are all pitching in. They know how powerful your work is. No one can deny the emotion conveyed in your art.
 * Shigure: O-oh, really?
 * Silas: Ha ha ha. Son, are you already nervous?
 * Shigure: Of course I am. The truth is, I'm not quite done with the final painting. I just can't seem to perfect it.
 * Silas: A new painting? While I would love to see it, you don't have much time before the event. Why don't you quit working on that piece and focus on the show? You can always come back to it later.
 * Shigure: No, I can't. This painting is the centerpiece of the exhibition. Everyone has labored so hard to give me this opportunity. I have to finish it to show my appreciation.
 * Silas: Is that so? There has to be a limit to how hard you push yourself. If you work yourself into the ground, this will all be for nothing.
 * Shigure: I understand your concern, but I'll be fine, Father. If you'll excuse me, I should get back to my easel.
 * Silas: Very well. Good luck!
 * Silas: Well, the boy is certainly passionate...I wonder what he's painting?

 * Silas: Finally, the day has arrived! It's time for Shigure's exhibition! I wonder how the tent came together...I better go see...This is incredible! Look at all these people! And from the murmurs I'm overhearing, it sounds like they love the paintings! I'm so glad that I got to help put this showcase together. But where is the man of the hour? I haven't seen Shigure anywhere...
 * Shigure: *pant* ... *pant* ...
 * Silas: Sh-Shigure, what's wrong? Why are you just now arriving? The exhibition is in full swing! I can't believe that you're late.
 * Shigure: I'm sorry, but it couldn't be avoided. I had to stay up all night in order to put the final touches on this painting...
 * Silas: Is this the one you mentioned before?
 * Shigure: Y-yes, it is...
 * Silas: Son, I don't understand. Why did you push yourself so hard? Even without this final piece, there is still a great deal of work on display. Take a look around. Everyone is smiling! They all love your paintings.
 * Shigure: I can see that. But it was important for me to finish this painting, no matter what. I made this piece to show you my gratitude.
 * Silas: Huh?! What do you mean? Wait...I-is this your mother and I?
 * Shigure: Yes. I made a portrait of you.
 * Silas: So this is what you've been spending all your time on?
 * Shigure: Yes, Father. I love the both of you more than anything...You brought me into this world. Without you, I never would have been able to paint. I wanted to pour all my feelings into this piece. I'm very grateful for everything.
 * Silas: Y-you're really...Oh, Shigure, I know just how you feel! *sob*
 * Shigure: Haha. F-Father, it hurts when you hug me so tightly...
 * Silas: R-right, of course. Sorry about that. I'm just proud to have an incredible son like you.
 * Shigure: Thank you, Father.
 * Silas: Oh, right! The exhibition! We don't have time for this. Come on! We have to hang this painting so that everyone can enjoy it!
 * Shigure: O-OK...It's kind of embarrassing, though...
 * Silas: Well, maybe a little. But it's the finest painting here, and everyone deserves to see it! Let's hurry! We have to find the perfect place to put it.
 * Shigure: You're right...Let's go!

 * Sophie: Daddy? Do you think I'm hopeless?
 * Silas: Hopeless?! Where did this come from?
 * Sophie: I want to be a great knight, like you! But I can't even handle the horse you gave me...
 * Silas: Don't tell me that's all that's got you in a funk.
 * Sophie: "That's all"?! You don't understand, Daddy! This is a crisis! A tragedy! A big problem!
 * Silas: Sorry Sophie. I wasn't trying to belittle your concerns. I just don't think you should be so worked up over it.
 * Sophie: B-but...
 * Silas: Everyone has a hard time starting out. Even me. Making mistakes is how you get better. If you're still having trouble, all that means is you have more to learn. It would be a problem if you thought you knew all there is to know...But that's not you, right?
 * Sophie: Well, no...
 * Silas: Then there's nothing to worry about. You have work to do, but you'll do it. You'll get better at handling Avel, and everything else too.
 * Sophie: I hope you;re right... Guess I won't know unless I try!
 * Silas: That's my girl.
 * Sophie: Heehee...

 * Sophie: Daddy...
 * Silas: You still seem distraught, Sophie... What's wrong?
 * Sophie: It's the same thing we talked about last time. I've been working so hard, and it doesn't seem to help at all! Maybe I'm just not cut out to be a knight.
 * Silas: Sophie, it's only been a few days. People don't improve that much overnight.
 * Sophie: That's easy for you to say, I'm scared I'm not improving at all!
 * Silas: I know you are.
 * Sophie: How?! How can you be sure?
 * Silas: Because it's true. Why, I remember when you were just as wild and willful as Avel. I couldn't get you to do anything.
 * Sophie: No fair bringing that up! I was just a kid!
 * Silas: That's why I brought it up. You've grown up by leaps and bounds since then. How long has it been now since I first visited you in the Deeprealm?
 * Sophie: Golly, I'm not sure anymore. Years and years...
 * Silas: Think about all the progress you've made since then. And how much progress you'll make when you're that much older than you are now.
 * Sophie: That's...a really long time.
 * Silas: It is, but it'll fell like the blink of an eye. I know it feels like it's been just weeks for me since you were born.
 * Sophie: Daddy...it HAS just been weeks for you. I'd barely be opening my eyes by now if I'd stayed in this world.
 * Silas: Haha. You got me there. I admit...I wanted to have been there to watch you growing up. How i would've loved to see you take your first steps...say your first word...I wish i could have been there to encourage you every time you tried something new.
 * Sophie: Daddy...
 * Silas: I'm sorry. I know it was lonely for you, too.
 * Sophie: I know you only did it to keep me safe during the war. I never resented you or Mother for it. Not even once!
 * Silas: I appreciate that, Sophie. To my mind, any advance or improvement, no matter how small, is worth celebrating. There's no need to rush. I love watching you get better with Avel, little by little.
 * Sophie: OK, Daddy.
 * Silas: Besides, now that you're here with us, you'll be older before we know it. We don't have time to daydream anymore!
 * Sophie: Huh, you're right. I'd better get back to work, then! Thanks, Daddy!

 * Sophie: Did you see me in the last battle, Daddy?!
 * Silas: With a showing like that? How could I have missed it? You were flawless.
 * Sophie: Heehee...I'd say I've improved a little bit, wouldn't you? I know I shouldn't expect results right away, but come on!
 * Silas: It's true, you know. But yes, I'm thrilled to get to see you mature into a knight before my eyes. Well done, Sophie.
 * Sophie: Aw, Daddy, you're embarrassing me. Heehee...
 * Silas: You've been working extra hard lately. And yes, you've made mistakes along the way...But that's the surest sign that you're also making progress. I just hope I'm not falling behind...
 * Sophie: What? But you're already a great knight! What's left for you to learn?
 * Silas: Quite a lot, actually. I feel like my skills plateaued around when you were born...I fear I said some rather self-righteous things for a man of my station.
 * Sophie: N-no way, Daddy! That's not your fault at all! It's barely been any time at all in this world since I was born. Weren't you the one who told me nobody gets better overnight?
 * Silas: Touché...I did say that, didn't I? Hahah.
 * Sophie: Personally, I'd like if you stopped getting better entirely.
 * Silas: Why's that?
 * Sophie: Because then it would be that much easier to catch up with you!
 * Silas: What?!
 * Sophie: They'd call me Sophie the Great, who surpassed her own father! Together with her beloved Avel, they vanquished evil across the land! Heehee, how cool does that sound?
 * Silas: I-it's a nice goal, but I'm not going to lie down and die. By the time you reach where I am now, I intend to hone my skills considerably!
 * Sophie: Noooooooo! Then I'll never get caught up!
 * Silas: Hahaha. You can try and catch me, but I won't make it easy for you.
 * Sophie: So you really want to make it a competition, huh? All right! We'd never get to do this if I'd had a normal childhood, huh? Here's to growing up in the Deeprealm!
 * Silas: Sophie...you don't have to that far to appease me.
 * Sophie: Oh, no, I wasn't trying to! I really, honestly think that. Sure, it was lonely sometimes...But if I'd been raised here, I'd still be in diapers now. I'd much rather get to compete with you in your prime. Fighting at your side is a dream come true! Honestly your whole world is like a dream to me...
 * Silas: I'm glad things worked out for the best.
 * Sophie: Just keep watching me, OK? You'll see me become a real knight in no time! I'll improve so fast, your head will spin!
 * Silas: That's the spirit. You're not yet my equal, and if I work hard, you never will be!
