Marcus/Supports

C Support

 * Alen: Where's the next enemy...
 * Marcus: Alen.
 * Alen: Oh, Sir Marcus.
 * Marcus: You have been performing well lately.
 * Alen: Thank you, sir.
 * Marcus: However, it also looks as if you are charging into the enemy lines without thinking. Your duty is to protect Master Roy. Am I wrong?
 * Alen: But... Defeating the enemy would lead to Master Roy's safety!
 * Marcus: What if during your fighting, Master Roy were to be hurt?
 * Alen: That hasn't happened so far...
 * Marcus: Does that mean it won't happen at all?
 * Alen: Then...what must I do?
 * Marcus: Take your time in battle.
 * Alen: Take my time...?

B Support

 * Alen: Sir Marcus.
 * Marcus: Alen. What is the matter?
 * Alen: I need you to teach me something...
 * Marcus: Teach?
 * Alen: You said to take my time in battle. Then was my fighting style up until now wrong?
 * Marcus: No. But you only use the one style of fighting you are used to.
 * Alen: Just one...
 * Marcus: Your courage is not a bad thing. Rather, it should be praised. However, I am worried that you might go berserk and go rushing in, leaving Master Roy behind.
 * Alen: Yes...
 * Marcus: A true knight must think about what he must do at a given moment and change his style accordingly. Charging is not always the best way.

A Support

 * Marcus: Alen, your fighting has been impressive lately.
 * Alen: Yes... I am trying my best to change my fighting style, as you told me.
 * Marcus: I see. Hm, you seem to able enough to take over after me.
 * Alen: Take over?
 * Marcus: I am old. I must make way for the young generation, for Roy. I want you to take care of Roy in my place.
 * Alen: M-Me...?
 * Marcus: Perhaps taking after an old man like me would be embarrassing?
 * Alen: Of course not! It is an honor! I shall protect Master Roy with my life and bring further prosperity to Pherae...
 * Marcus: Calm down. I told you that your fire worried me.
 * Alen: Yes...
 * Marcus: There is no need to get all worked up. Master Roy is still young. You must grow with him, as a knight, and as a person.

 * Marcus: Lance, have you gotten used to the Pherae family yet?
 * Lance: Yes, Sir Marcus. Everyone has been very good to me, who is an outsider...
 * Marcus: I see. Good.
 * Lance: You have been very caring as well, Sir Marcus.
 * Marcus: Well, we must have you work especially hard.
 * Lance: Especially?
 * Marcus: You have something that the other knights do not.
 * Lance: I do...?
 * Marcus: Yes. And that will help Master Roy in the future.
 * Lance: ......

B Support

 * Lance: Sir Marcus.
 * Marcus: Yes, Lance?
 * Lance: You said before that I had something that the other knights do not.
 * Marcus: That I did.
 * Lance: However, I cannot see what that something is. I am but an ordinary knight. I think you see more in me than there actually is.
 * Marcus: I think not.
 * Lance: But I was in a different band of knights up until recently, so I have no idea what I can do for Master Roy...
 * Marcus: There, you have it.
 * Lance: Huh?
 * Marcus: You have experience in other areas. The others do not.
 * Lance: Oh...
 * Marcus: Master Roy will take Pherae's throne in the future. And if only Pheraeans were around him, he will grow to be a person with limited views. We need someone like you who knows other parts of the world.
 * Lance: Will my experience...be of use?
 * Marcus: You must make it so. Master Roy must grow to be an individual with diverse beliefs.

A Support

 * Marcus: Lance.
 * Lance: Ah, Sir Marcus.
 * Marcus: Master Roy was telling me the other day that you were telling him stories of other parts of the continent.
 * Lance: If my experience can be of use to Master Roy, then I shall do my best to teach him.
 * Marcus: Good. Well, it seems I can now retire without any worries.
 * Lance: Sir Marcus, what are you saying? We still have much to learn from you.
 * Marcus: Not if we have you. You can take my place once I am gone.
 * Lance: Me? But I am not a native of Pherae...
 * Marcus: Are you still worrying yourself over matters like that? Master Roy certainly isn't.
 * Lance: ...All right, then I shall take your place when the time comes. But that is in the far future. You are still well, and you must still be our example.
 * Marcus: Well, maybe I can. You never know.

C Support

 * Wolt: Sir Marcus!
 * Marcus: Ah, Wolt. What is it?
 * Wolt: I have something I must ask of you.
 * Marcus: Something to ask of me?
 * Wolt: Yes, could you... Please, could you teach me how to use a sword?
 * Marcus: ! ...May I ask why?
 * Wolt: I can only use bows. An archer is done for if he gets ambushed in close range. I wouldn't be able to protect Master Roy if that happens...
 * Marcus: That's not true. There are certain things than can be done only with a bow.
 * Wolt: But...
 * Marcus: Besides, is there much point in learning swordplay now, at your late age? Mediocre skill would do nothing but hinder Master Roy.
 * Wolt: Well...
 * Marcus: Do not worry. You are being a great help to Master Roy already.
 * Wolt: ...I wonder...

B Support

 * Wolt: Sir Marcus.
 * Marcus: Wolt... I can tell by your face that you still want me to teach you swordplay.
 * Wolt: I just don't get it. Am I really being of that much help to Master Roy?
 * Marcus: Wolt... What do you think of us as Lord Eliwood's knights?
 * Wolt: Eh...? Well... You're all really strong, and I look up to you.
 * Marcus: Well, that's nice to hear. Still, there is one problem with us being Eliwood's knights.
 * Wolt: Problem?
 * Marcus: None of us are even close to his age.
 * Wolt: !
 * Marcus: Lord Eliwood's vassals... They were all old like me or far younger than him. He had no one to joke around with, no one to talk about his concerns with. He was always fighting on his own.
 * Wolt: Always on his own...
 * Marcus: I don't want Master Roy to suffer the same fate. You and Master Roy are the same age, and what's more, you are milkbrothers. So I want you to stay by Master Roy's side and give him moral support.
 * Wolt: Moral support?
 * Marcus: That's right. Fighting well in battle is important, but that is not all that is necessary to truly show your loyalty. Think about that.

A Support

 * Marcus: Ah, Wolt. You don't look so troubled for a change. Well, do you still want me to teach you how to wield a sword?
 * Wolt: No, after hearing your words, I cast away my hesitation. I will perfect my skills with my bow, and I will train myself so that Master Roy can count on me without doubt!
 * Marcus: Very good. With that attitude, it looks like I can let you take over for me.
 * Wolt: What!? B-But if you leave now...
 * Marcus: Calm down, I didn't say right at this minute. Still, it won't be that far away. Once I am gone, you must take care of Master Roy?
 * Wolt: Me...?
 * Marcus: Perhaps taking after an old man like me would be embarrassing?
 * Wolt: No, that's not it... It's just that...can I really do it...
 * Marcus: There now, see? You have to fix your lack of confidence. You will worry Master Roy with an attitude like that.
 * Wolt: Yes...
 * Marcus: You can do it. Have confidence in yourself!

 * Lilina: Hello, Marcus.
 * Marcus: Ah, Lady Lilina.
 * Lilina: The battle is growing bigger all the time... Marcus, do you think Roy will be okay...?
 * Marcus: Of course, my lady. Master Roy has taken after Lord Eliwood, who was said to be the greatest knight in Lycia.
 * Lilina: Yes... Lord Eliwood was a great knight.
 * Marcus: Yes, my lady. And also... Lord Eliwood's wife, she was a very kind and gentle person. Much like yourself, I might add.
 * Lilina: Uh... Do you think so?
 * Marcus: Master Roy is becoming very much like Lord Eliwood. The woman that Roy is seeking would probably be similar to that which Lord Eliwood found love with.
 * Lilina: Really...?
 * Marcus: My lady, if I may suggest. When you and Master Roy return to Pherae, then you two could...
 * Lilina: Marcus! Roy and I are friends. Just friends! Marriage... I-It is too soon to be thinking of such things!

B Support

 * Lilina: Marcus, what kind of couple were Lord Eliwood and his wife?
 * Marcus: Well, my lady, when the two were youths, they were such a happy pair that just looking at them would cheer one up. The people of Pherae were truly happy for them.
 * Lilina: Wow... That's nice...
 * Marcus: Lord Eliwood loved his wife deeply. And one night...before the two became engaged, Lord Eliwood suddenly disappeared from the castle. When he returned to his love three days later, he presented her with a beautiful white flower which only grows in the snowy highlands. It was the flower which she loved the most.
 * Lilina: Lord Eliwood is so...romantic. Sigh... Now look at Roy...

A Support

 * Lilina: Phew...
 * Marcus: Lady Lilina, is something wrong?
 * Lilina: Marcus... What does... What does Roy think of me? I... I'm not so sure anymore.
 * Marcus: ......
 * Lilina: Roy, he's... I've always...liked him...for a long time now.
 * Marcus: Then why not go up to him and find out for yourself, my lady?
 * Lilina: What...? But...
 * Marcus: I do not have much experience in matters like this, but I have heard the maids at the castle saying that it is no longer the age that women should be sitting around waiting. Lady Lilina, if you were to advance on to him first, Master Roy would surely fall for you.
 * Lilina: ...... Yes... Yes. I'm the one who's known him the longest. I can't lose to those other girls!
 * Marcus: That's the spirit, Lady Lilina!

 * Marcus: *grumbling*
 * Roy: What's the matter, Marcus?
 * Marcus: Not good. Not good at all.
 * Roy: What's not good?
 * Marcus: The youths these days, their fighting has much to desired. It isn't all of them, but most of them seem pampered in my eyes! We must make stricter exercise plans...
 * Roy: I don't think they're pampered... They're all doing their best.
 * Marcus: No! Master Roy, you are too soft on them. I shall go and show them an example!
 * Roy: Are you sure you have to go on your own? You're not, you know, young any more.
 * Marcus: Nonsense! I may be old, but I shall not lose to the young ones yet!
 * Roy: Ah...okay. But you're still not young any more, so watch out for your health.
 * Marcus: Yes, of course. Thank you.
 * Roy: *leaves*
 * Marcus: Master Roy is so thoughtful... Now look at those other young ones compared to him...disgraceful! I must help Master Roy in their place.

B Support

 * Marcus: Master Roy, I still think that we must make our rules stricter.
 * Roy: Stricter?
 * Marcus: Yes. And we expel those who aren't doing their job properly.
 * Roy: ......
 * Marcus: Although our army will be small, we will have a team of elites. That way we can fight more efficiently.
 * Roy: No, Marcus. That's not a good idea.
 * Marcus: Eh... Why?
 * Roy: Who's going to choose whether someone is doing their job or not?
 * Marcus: Of course, that would be you, Master Roy.
 * Roy: But some people might be working hard where I'm not looking.
 * Marcus: Oh... Well, in that case...
 * Roy: There are also people supporting us outside the battlefield, and there are also those whom we don't use because of my decisions who haven't yet had a chance. You want to simply expel them all? We have many people who joined us with strong beliefs. We can't just tell them to leave.
 * Marcus: ......
 * Roy: Marcus, we have to trust them more. They're our comrades, right?
 * Marcus: ...You are right. I was mistaken, Master Roy. Your thoughts are noble.
 * Roy: You know, it's kind of strange hearing you praise me like that. You're usually scolding me most of the time.
 * Marcus: Oh? Am I?
 * Roy: Yes. *leaves*
 * Marcus: Master Roy... He has gotten so bold... He can now certainly live on his own. My role is almost finished...

A Support

 * Roy: Marcus, is something wrong? You seem not well these days.
 * Marcus: I'm sorry. When I think of a good time that I should retire... Well, aging certainly isn't a fun thing.
 * Roy: Retire?
 * Marcus: The young soldiers have grown strong. Perhaps it is the right time.
 * Roy: ...Marcus. What are you saying?
 * Marcus: I am old... It wouldn't be for your benefit that an old man like me stay by your side. I should give way for the next generation...
 * Roy: No...
 * Marcus: I should be retiring soon.
 * Roy: No! I order you to stay!
 * Marcus: Master Roy...
 * Roy: I'll apologize if you're angry about what I said the other day. So don't say that you'll retire.
 * Marcus: But an old man like me... I shouldn't be in battles any more.
 * Roy: I still have lots of things that I need to learn from you. But if you leave...who can I turn to for advice?
 * Marcus: Master Roy... You trust this old man so much...
 * Roy: Don't say you'll retire... I still need your help from now on.
 * Marcus: Yes... I shall serve you to the death.
