 * Xander: Hya! Hah! Hyaaa!!
 * Avatar: *yawn* Xander? You're not still training are you? You should get some rest.
 * Xander: Hm? Ah, Avatar. Thank you for your concern, but I haven't a moment to lose. I must keep improving my sword technique for the glory of Nohr. As crown prince, it is my responsibility to be as strong as I can for our people.
 * Avatar: Ha ha, even after all these years, you're still the same Xander.
 * Xander: Oh? How so?
 * Avatar: Remember when I was little, and I'd get so lonely in the Northern Fortress? You'd always come stay with me until I got sleepy and then go train late into the night.
 * Xander: You knew about that? But how?
 * Avatar: I could see you from my window. After you left, I always watched you train for a bit. It's a little embarrassing, but I'd even try to imitate how you swung your sword. I thought if I matched your movements, maybe one day I could be as strong as you.
 * Xander: I had no idea.
 * Avatar: I was always afraid if I told you about it, you might train elsewhere. Wow, thinking about all that is making me really nostalgic. Such great memories. You know... we've been so busy, we haven't had a chance to train together in a while. Um, if you're not too busy, maybe we could practice sword swinging like old times...
 * Xander: That's the best idea I've heard all day. But it can't be like old times. This time, you and I shall train side by side. No more lonely Northern Fortress for you.
 * Avatar: Ha ha, great! I'll grab my blade!

 * Xander: Hyaaa! Hah!
 * Avatar: At it again, Xander? Don't you ever sleep?
 * Xander: If I train while my enemies are sleeping, I shall always have the advantage.
 * Avatar: Mind if I join in? I had a great time training with you the other day.
 * Xander: I am always happy to have such a capable fighter aid me in my practice.
 * Xander: ...
 * Avatar: Is something the matter? I understand if you'd prefer to be alone right now.
 * Xander: Oh no, not at all. I was just thinking about what you said the other day.
 * Avatar: What about it?
 * Xander: Exactly how much sleep did I cause you to lose because of my training? Thinking back, I recall how hard it was to get you up in the morning. Am I to blame?
 * Avatar: Ha ha, don't be silly. It's true I stayed up to watch, but it actually helped me sleep. Some people need to hear the ocean waves to lull themselves to sleep... I need to hear your powerful blade slicing through the night air. It's soothing. I know it sounds ridiculous, but watching you train always made me feel safe.
 * Xander: Truly? Well, I suppose if that's the case I shall forgive us both.
 * Avatar: ... Um, Xander? Is something else on your mind? You look troubled.
 * Xander: Am I such an open book to you?
 * Avatar: You're swinging your sword so fiercely today, with a wild look in your eyes. It's the same look you always had on nights when you and Father would argue.
 * Xander: ... You're too clever for your own good, Avatar. I have much on my mind, but I have no regrets about the decisions I've made. Like you, I am proceeding down the path I believe in, no matter the consequences.
 * Avatar: Oh, so that's it. Sorry, maybe I shouldn't have asked. It's just so nice to hear what's on your mind instead of wondering from afar.
 * Xander: Worry not, little princess. I have enjoyed our discourse as well. But the hour is getting late. Let's finish up so we can rest for tomorrow's endeavors.
 * Avatar: OK. This time I'm going to beat you!

 * Xander: Ah. Avatar. I've been waiting for you. I knew you'd turn up eventually.
 * Avatar: Ugh, am I that predictable? Oh well. Shall we begin?
 * Xander: Certainly.
 * Xander: ...
 * Xander: Avatar... Did you mean it when you said you prefer to hear what's on my mind?
 * Avatar: I meant it wih all my heart.
 * Xander: I see... Well, I suppose I owe you the courtesy of explaining a thing or two. You were right about me taking out my anger at Father during my training. Sometimes being crown prince means following the king's order no matter what. But there were times when I felt his commands crossed a line. Sometimes it didn't feel like he was trying to benefit the kingdom at all, just himself. Having to do things I didn't believe in weighed heavily on my heart. Now I'm wise enough and brave enough to stand up to Father. But back then... Those were the nights you spoke of, when I swung my blade like a wild beast.
 * Avatar: Xander...
 * Xander: I never thought I'd tell you that. I always tried to shield you from such things. A sword is a strange and beautiful thing... Sometimes just one swing of your blade can communicate more than a lifetime of words. Thank you for listening, Avatar. Both to my blade back then and my words now.
 * Avatar: No need to thank me. I didn't do anything but listen. And pry.
 * Xander: You did more than you know. It's thanks to you... That I don't feel alone anymore.
 * Avatar: Xander... It means the world to me to hear you say that. You saved me from my own loneliness when I was a child, locked away from the world... I'm so happy to finally repay the favor. It was always my dearest wish to do so. If you ever feel like talking, about anything. I'm always here for you.
 * Xander: I don't wish for you to lose sleep over my troubles...
 * Avatar: I've been losing sleep over you for years now, ha ha. It's my favorite tradition.
 * Xander: As you wish, Avatar. From now on I promise to let you in.

 * Xander: Hello, Avatar. Thank you for joining me here today.
 * Avatar: Sure thing. Your note said it was urgent... Is everything OK?
 * Xander: ...
 * Xander: I need to ask you something. What do you think of me?
 * Avatar: I'm not sure what you mean...
 * Xander: I know this is out of the blue, but I need to know. Please answer truthfully.
 * Avatar: OK... If it means that much to you.
 * Avatar: Well, to me you're someone I admire. Someone strong and wise and noble. You're the rock of the family, someone we can all depend on and look up to. You taught me about courage and about the sword, as well as about right and wrong. I was so sad when I first found out we aren't truly brother and sister... I was always proud to be the little sister of the finest prince there ever was.
 * Xander: Thank you, Avatar. I am honored by your kind words. Though, to be honest, I feel the exact opposite in one respect.
 * Avatar: Oh?
 * Xander: I am overjoyed that we are not brother and sister.
 * Avatar: Y-you are? But why?! I guess I wasn't a very good sister...
 * Xander: Please don't misunderstand me. I meant that in the best way possible.
 * Avatar: What way is that?
 * Xander: You said just now that I taught you about courage and about the sword. But... I wish to teach you about much more than that. I wish to teach you about love. That's why I bought this for you.
 * Avatar: Is that a r-ring?!
 * Xander: Dearest, Avatar. You are the most precious person in the world to me. Would you do me the honor of being my wife?
 * Avatar: Your wife?! Xander, are you sure? What will the others say...
 * Xander: Let them say what they will. I wish to protect you for the rest of my days. I don't see you as a sibling any longer, but as a woman... One who I adore. Please say you'll stay by my side, now and forever.
 * Avatar: Xander... Of course I'll marry you. I'm so happy. I don't know what to say! But everyone will be so surprised. They may even object at first...
 * Xander: Worry not. In the end, I'm certain everyone will understand. After all, our marriages won't only benefit our future happiness... I believe it will also have a positive effect on our beloved kingdom.
 * Avatar: You're right, as ever. Besides, what matters most is that we'll finally be together.
 * Xander: I can't wait to spend my life with you, little princess. I have so much to tell you... You were cooped up so long, I wish to show you the whole world.
 * Avatar: I can't wait. Thank you, dear Xander.
 * Xander: I love you, truly. I've been meaning to tell you for so long... You are my precious wife now. It is my honor and duty to keep you safe, at all costs.

 * Xander: Hello, Azura. I'm glad I found you here.
 * Azura: Oh? May I help you?
 * Xander: Are you feeling all right? You've been looking a little down lately.
 * Azura: There's no need to be worried about me. I'm fine....Did you need something?
 * Xander: Actually, yes. Avatar and I are holding a meeting to review our military strategy. I'd appreciate if you would attend.
 * Azura: Military strategy? Oh, my. I know nothing about that.
 * Xander: You know more than you realize. You're intimately familiar with both kingdoms. I was hoping you would attend as a mediator. I can count on you to be fair.
 * Azura: Do you really think that's a good idea? I'm not sure I would be of much help.
 * Xander: I beg to differ. Please, Azura. Do it for the good of all.
 * Azura: Hmm... Who else will be there?
 * Xander: Ah, is this about how certain Nohrians may treat you? If so, worry not. No one would dare speak a word against you in my presence. Please, Azura. May I count you in?
 * Azura: Well, it seems useless to argue when I doubt you'll take no for an answer.
 * Xander: Right you are. Well then, let us be off.

 * Azura: Hello, Xander.
 * Xander: There it is again, that doleful look. Please, Azura. Tell me what's troubling you.
 * Azura: I wish you would stop worrying about me. I promise I'm fine. By the way, do you think the meeting went well?
 * Xander: It did, thanks to you. We were lucky to have you as our mediator.
 * Azura: I don't know about that. You do a fine job of leading everyone without my help.
 * Xander: A strong leader needs strong advisors.
 * Azura: Oh, stop. There's no need to flatter me, Xander. I hardly said two words. I was busy stuffing my face with all of that food. What a feast!
 * Xander: You did seem to be enjoying yourself. But still... In between those enormous bites, you said some profound things—just as I expected. Azura, it's quite possible that you could change the course of this whole war.
 * Azura: What do you mean?
 * Xander: I'd like you to attend these meetings regularly. You have a unique perspective. Next time, we'll be discussing my father, and I could really use you by my side.
 * Azura: I don't know, Xander. I still have a lot of bad memories from my time in Nohr.
 * Xander: it pains me so to hear you say that. I hope you'll reconsider... Did I mention dinner will be served?
 * Azura: You're going to drag me there whether I like it or not, aren't you? Fine then. ...So are we going to have those warm, buttered rolls again? Just... curious.

 * Azura: Hmm-hmmm... Laa-la-laa... ♪
 * Azura: Oh! Hello, Xander.
 * Xander: Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you. You sounded so lovely. Have I heard that song before?
 * Azura: No, I don't think so.
 * Xander: Ah. Well, in any case, I came here to invite you to our next meeting.
 * Azura: Xander, you can drop the act now. I can see right through you.
 * Xander: What do you mean?
 * Azura: You're obviously inviting me to these meetings to give me a distraction! You don't want me dwelling on my past or thinking about my childhood tormentors. You figured if I just went to the meetings, my feelings about Nohr might change.
 * Xander: Azura, you're wrong. I invited you because you're important to our cause.
 * Azura: No. It's time you stopped shielding me from the truth.
 * Xander: The only thing I'd like to shield you from is yourself. You're overthinking this. I need you there because I know I can count on you to be fair. I only want what's best for our kingdoms. We must work together to attain peace.
 * Azura: You can pretend it's for peace all you want. Of course, we all want that. ...But I know you're trying to look after me. Please, Xander, sit down for a moment.
 * Xander: Huh?
 * Azura: Go on. It's my turn to look after you. I want to sing you the song I was practicing. It's a song of gratitude. I want you to know how much I appreciate your kindness.
 * Xander: Me?! Sit idly? I'm not sure about this...
 * Azura: Haha, just trust me. Close your eyes and listen... ♪

 * Felicia: All right. The tea leaves, the water, and the cups are all on the tray...Now I juuuuust need to watch my feet and walk straight forward. OK, here I go! One step... Two steps...You can do this, Felicia... Three steps... Four steps... Come on... If I just keep it up, I might even get all the way across the--KYAAAAAHHHHHHH!

 * Xander: Felicia! Are you hurt?
 * Felicia: Lord Xander?! What are you doing here? This is my secret practice spot!
 * Xander: Practice spot? Sorry, I just happened to be passing by. What is it you're practicing here?
 * Felicia: Um, carrying tea.
 * Xander: Oh? Hm, it must be more difficult then I'd imagined. May I ask why you were looking at your feet?
 * Felicia: I thought that if I walked while looking at the ground, then I wouldn't trip and fall. But when i do that I just crash into the things I can't see in front of me.
 * Xander: Ah, so you end up spilling the tea anyway.
 * Felicia: Exactly.
 * Xander: Heh. What an intriguing person you are.
 * Felicia: H-hey! Please don't laugh!
 * Xander: *ahem* Yes, of course. I apologize. Well, good day, Felicia. Good luck with your training.

* (There's seems to be a glitch with this conversation as it shows Xander saying this line, but given the context of the situation it makes sense for Felicia to be saying this rather than Xander)
 * Felicia: Ugh. That's it! I give up! I'm hopeless at all of this tea stuff. I'm going to try my hand at something new. Something like...knitting! Yes, I bet knitting will be fun. Flora always made it look so easy. Hm, let's see. So I just take the ball of yarn and unravel the thread...*spin spin spin* Wait, this can't be right. Maybe if I -- *spin spin spin* Oh. *wiggle* Oh dear. *wiggle wiggle* I can't seem to move my arms.

 * Felicia: Hello? Hellooo?! Someone! Anyone! Help meeeee!
 * Xander: Felicia! Are you all right? By the gods, you're all wrapped up in yarn!
 * Felicia: Lord Xander... Just passing by again, I suppose?
 * Xander: Yes, and lucky that I was, it seems. Do you require assistance?
 * Felicia*: Well...yes. Would you please unwind all this yarn for me?
 * Xander: Yes, of course. Hold still for a moment. Hm...Felicia... How did you manage to bind yourself up like this? I don't think most prisoners are kept in bondage as secure as this mess.
 * Felicia: I'm sorry...Wait a second. I'm going to try to move.
 * Xander: Wait! Don't move!
 * Felicia: Huh?!
 * Xander: If you move, you'll wind up even more entangled than before.
 * Felicia: Oh, I suppose you're right. I'm sorry.
 * Xander: It's OK. I'll keep at it until I've gotten you out of there.
 * Felicia: My deepest apologies, Your Highness. This task does not befit a prince of Nohr...
 * Xander: It's no trouble. Just don't move, OK? Let's see... This end goes through here, so this on should loop around like so...

 * Felicia: All right. Today I'm going to practice cooking! Wait! Lord Xander?! What are you doing here?!
 * Xander: Ah. It appears I've already been spotted.
 * Felicia: What do you mean you've been spotted? What are you doing over there?
 * Xander: I suppose I have no choice but to tell you the truth. I was watching you practice.
 * Felicia: What? Why?
 * Xander: I find it...soothing.
 * Felicia: Soothing? What's that supposed to mean?
 * Xander: You always look like you're having fun, even when you make a mistake.
 * Felicia: I don't know if I'd call it "fun". There's a lot of pain involved. I'm pretty clumsy. But even if I weren't, why would it be soothing for you to watch me?
 * Xander: The title "Lord Xander, Crown Prince of Nohr" follows me everywhere. Even when I'm alone, I cannot shed the mantle. Not truly. But when I watch you, here, in your own little world, I forget myself. Maybe you're not having fun, but you aren't burdened by the fate of the kingdom. And it does a crown prince good to see some levity now and then. You're just concerned with being the best maid you can be. As I said, it's soothing.
 * Felicia: Hm...Would you like to practice with me, Lord Xander?
 * Xander: Practice...being a maid?
 * Felicia: Precisely!
 * Xander: For what purpose?
 * Felicia: I think it would be even more soothing for you to do this stuff yourself! If you practice something long enough, you'll get completely absorbed in it. And if it's something new to you, you'll forget yourself all the quicker!
 * Xander: I see... Very well. I consent.
 * Felicia: Great! Let's begin! Would you please pour some water into this pot over here?
 * Xander: Like so?
 * Felicia: Yes, but be careful! I always spill it at this part...Phew, well done. OK, now to chop some vegetables...

S Support

 * Felicia: Lord Xander! You summoned me?
 * Xander: Yes, I did. Please, be at ease, Felicia. I did not call you here to reprimand you. I just wanted to thank you for teaching me what it is like to be a maid. It was an experience I will never forget.
 * Felicia: I'm glad you found it rewarding, milord. If you ever want to escape yourself again, I'd be happy to accommodate you. In fact, we could go practice our tea walks right now, if you'd like!
 * Xander: No, thank you. Today there is something else I wish to ask of you. Something very important.
 * Felicia: something important? In that case, perhaps it would be better if we were to call on some of the others. I'm...a little forgetful. And I have trouble keeping up with things.
 * Xander: No, it would be difficult with others around. It's best this way, trust me.
 * Felicia: Yes, milord. As you wish.
 * Xander: Felicia... I want you to have this.
 * Felicia: W-wait! Isn't that...?
 * Xander: Yes. It's a wedding ring.
 * Felicia: But...why would you give this to me, milord? Should I clean it for you? Oh, unless... Unless you're asking... ?! Is this for me? Are you sure you didn't mean to give this to someone else?
 * Xander: I am quite sure. When you get to be my age, all anyone talks about is marriage. But I always worried, should I marry, I'd be unable to make time for my wife. And even if I could, I didn't know if it would be more than just another royal obligation. But since I've grown so close to you... those fears have disappeared. I know that I will never have trouble making time for you, as you are ever on my mind. Felicia... Will you marry me?
 * Felicia: Yes! Yes, of course!
 * Xander: Thank you, Felicia. I feel as though you have lit a fire in my heart. And I ask that you, as my queen, bring this same fire to all the people of Nohr. Together, we will inspire them to rise anew from the ashes of the past!
 * Felicia: Y-yes, sir! I think I can do that! Probably!

 * Xander: Is this where you've been hiding, Camilla?
 * Camilla: Hmm? Ah, hello, Xander.
 * Xander: I've been looking for you. The war council is about to start.
 * Camilla: Is it? Gracious. The time must have flown by during my little chat with Avatar.
 * Xander: You were talking to Avatar? What about?
 * Camilla: I suppose there's no harm in you knowing. Avatar had worries about a few things, that's all.
 * Xander: Nothing too serious, I hope.
 * Camilla: Never fear. Between the two of us, we've smoothed things over. *sigh* And that's only the latest crisis. Before Avatar, it was Leo, and before him it was Elise. One after another, they came to me for advice on solving their problems.
 * Xander: I...I see. This is the first I'd heard about any such problems.
 * Camilla: We play different roles, that's all. I am the doting older sister they can come to with their troubles. You, meanwhile, are the stoic pillar of the family, attentive to the war above all else.
 * Xander: That's absurd. The war doesn't have a monopoly on my attention.
 * Camilla: Oh? Do tell.
 * Xander: Some other time, perhaps. For now, we do need to get to that war council.
 * Camilla: You're not making a good case for yourself there...

 * Xander: Camilla, a word, please.
 * Camilla: What's on your mind?
 * Xander: You claimed that I'm more devoted to the war effort than to my family. I wanted to make it clear that those are not my true priorities.
 * Camilla: Oh dear. Does it irk you that our siblings come to me and not you for advice?
 * Xander: Not overmuch. It's more than that. Our family weighs at least as heavy on my heart as our kingdom's war efforts.
 * Camilla: Does it really? I wonder... Shall we put that claim to the test?
 * Xander: You seek to test me?
 * Camilla: Call it a quiz, if you prefer. A chance to prove the depth of your knowledge.
 * Xander: In that case, yes. I submit to your testing.
 * Camilla: I'll give you an easy first question. What is my favorite food?
 * Xander: I am aware that you like sweets. Bonbons in particular, if I recall correctly.
 * Camilla: I'd expect nothing less from you, Xander. My next question concerns—
 * Xander: Hold, I had not finished answering. You have a weakness for bonbons. But that is not your favorite food in all the world. What you crave, given your druthers, is steak.
 * Camilla: Go on...
 * Xander: You prefer it grilled only lightly and will send it back if there is too much charring. You are also particular about seasoning and will accept only certain sauces.
 * Camilla: How do you remember that much?
 * Xander: Now, as to your favorite vegetables...

A Support

 * Xander: I enjoyed your little quiz, Camilla.
 * Camilla: That much was evident. I was shocked at your memory for details. You knew everything about my favorite foods, Elise's hobbies, Leo's pet peeves... Even Avatar's favorite scents, which I was certain I alone knew. You had a ready answer for every question, no matter how insignificant. Some of those details even I didn't know.
 * Xander: As indifferent to our family as I may appear, that is far from the truth.
 * Camilla: I understand that now. I'll try to dispel any misconceptions the others may still harbor.
 * Xander: Thank you, but there's no need for that.
 * Camilla: Are you certain? If they knew the truth, they might treat you more like family.
 * Xander: Satisfying though that may be, it would not be prudent. My position as crown prince of Nohr is a precarious one. I must maintain a certain distance, even from my family. You seem to be ably handling our siblings' affairs, so I'll leave that to you.
 * Camilla: But...so you mean to tell me you've been deliberately cultivating this image?
 * Xander: Yes. Though I am glad to share the secret with at least one other. Don't worry about me. You said it yourself: we have different roles. Mine is to be the stern, unapproachable crown prince.
 * Camilla: Well...if there's anything I can do to ease your burden, do tell me. I'll always help you in any way I can.
 * Xander: Thank you. I'd expect no less from a princess of Nohr. And since you offered... Might we continue your quiz where we left off? It was surprisingly enjoyable.
 * Camilla: Heehee, but of course. I'll stump you this time, just you wait!

 * Xander: But then you lowered it without a word.
 * Leo: Ah. Well...
 * Leo: That was...
 * Xander: If you take issue with what I'm proposing, you should not hesitate to speak up.
 * Xander: You are a prince of Nohr, Leo. It is your royal duty to do so.
 * Leo: I suppose... though there would have been no point in speaking up
 * Xander: How so?
 * Leo: *sigh* Because your the crown prince, Xander. You alone decide what we do.
 * Leo: And with the great Xander at the helm, my ideas are like those of a child.

 * Xander: You have your own strengths and your own way of doing things... just as I have mine.
 * Xander: I do not expect you to follow in my footsteps, Brother.
 * Leo: ...
 * Leo: Hey, Xander. Do you remember when we trained together when we were little?
 * Xander: Of course. It was my duty as the eldest to prepare my siblings for combat.
 * Leo: Even back then, you excelled at everything you tried.
 * Leo: Fighting, horsemanship, elocution, swimming, the list goes on.
 * Leo: You were unstopable. Not me, though.
 * Leo: I had to work so hard at everything. I was so envious of you.
 * Xander: ...
 * Leo: At first, we all practiced swordsmanship, magic, and hand-to-hand combat together.
 * Leo: But eventually, you took to the sword while I devoted myself to magic.
 * Leo: A large part of the reason I chose magic... Was because you didn't.
 * Leo: I knew that if I walked the same path as you, I would always be in your shadow.
 * Leo: The joke's on me, though. Your shadow is too grand to escape, I'm afraid.
 * Xander: Leo, I...
 * Leo: I know, Xander. You and I are different. There is no point in comparing us.
 * Leo: I know that, I do, and yet...
 * Leo: I don't think I'll ever stop trying to reach your heights... or failing miserably to do so.

 * Xander: Leo! May I have a moment of your time? I want you to know I'm grateful you finally told me how you feel. I have something to tell you as well.
 * Leo: ...
 * Xander: When we were both young, only beginning to find our feet on the battlefield... I was relieved the day you chose to walk the path of magic instead of the blade.
 * Leo: I don't understand. Why would you be relieved?
 * Xander: Before then, I always felt you at my heels, pushing me. Pressuring me.
 * Leo: Pressuring you? Me?
 * Xander: You're so precocious, Leo. It was only a matter of time before you caught up to me. You say you were envious of me, but the truth is, I felt the same way about you.
 * Leo: ...That's nice of you to say, Xander, but I don't need your empty flattery.
 * Xander: Sullen Leo... You still don't get it.
 * Leo: Get what?
 * Xander: You were so concerned about being inferior to me in any way... But of course you were. You were younger and much less experienced. You said that when we were young, I excelled at everything.
 * Leo: You did. You were unstoppable.
 * Xander: That's only because I had already been training for years! It's only natural. Yet even with my advantage, you were closing the gap between us so quickly... If you had bested me, the eldest prince... I would have failed as your brother. That's part of why I tried so hard. As your brother, it's my job to stay one step ahead.
 * Leo: I...I don't know what to believe.
 * Xander: I have only spoken the truth, Leo. In your heart, you must know that. I value you more than you know. So there's no reason to be shy around me, is there? I implore you to speak your mind boldly in our war meetings, for the benefit of us all.
 * Leo: ... As you wish, Xander. From now on, no more holding back my opinions. In fact, you better watch yourself, or I may be nipping at your heels again soon.
 * Xander: Ha! I dearly hope so. I'm proud of you, Leo.
 * Leo: Thanks, Xander. But enough brotherly bonding... Let's talk strategy!

 * Xander: Though I doubt I can use compassion to combat the recent spate of pirate attacks.
 * Elise: I guess that's true...
 * Elise: But I still think kindness and compassion are super important for achieving peace!
 * Xander: Of course. We need more of both in the world.
 * Elise: Xander...you called for me?
 * Xander: Yes. I'm sure I don't have to tell you why.
 * Elise: ...
 * Xander: Not long ago, we received reports that pirates attacked a city on the coast. The town guards managed to fight them off, by some miracle. The pirates they managed to capture were jailed. Justice had been done. But I'm told they received a visitor no less esteemed than the young princess herself.
 * Elise: Y-yes. I was there.
 * Xander: What were you thinking?! If you hadn't decided to heal the lot of them, they'd never have escaped!
 * Elise: ...
 * Xander: Well? What do you have to say for yourself?
 * Elise: I...I'm sorry I was bad. Please don't be mad at me, Xander.
 * Xander: Was this because of that damned book?
 * Elise: Huh?
 * Xander: The one you told me about. Preaching compassion and kindness for all.
 * Elise: ...
 * Xander: I will not forbid you from reading such things. But you must face reality. Force must be met with force. That is the immutable law of the world. In healing indiscriminately, you've done a terrible injustice to those townspeople. Think of those whose loved ones were murdered by those dastards. I expect you to be more mindful of the consequences of your actions. Now, I am going to visit the town. Perhaps I can give them some consolation.
 * Elise: Yes, Brother. I'm sorry...

A Support

 * Xander: Elise. There is something I wish to discuss with you. It regards the escaped pirates you healed. Do you recall? It seems that since they escaped...the town has not been attacked.
 * Elise: Huh?
 * Xander: Prior to the healing incident, that particular town suffered from regular raids. Being a moderately wealthy port town, it was a prime target for plunder.
 * Elise: But then...why have the attacks stopped?
 * Xander: I wondered the very same thing. That's why I sent some scouts to the pirates' hideout. They reported back that the number of pirates there has dropped dramatically. It seems a great many of them had a sudden change of heart and left. This could very well be a result of the kindness you showed them.
 * Elise: ...
 * Xander: "Force must be met with force." Perhaps that is not so immutable a law after all.
 * Elise: Brother...
 * Xander: Elise, I have a favor to ask of you. Would you lend me that book you were reading?
 * Elise: Really? You want to read it?
 * Xander: I do. It appears that it may contain some valuable insight after all.
 * Elise: ...Does this mean you'll show kindness to all of our enemies from now on?
 * Xander: Let's not get carried away, Elise.
 * Elise: Hmph! Then I'm not gonna lend you my book.
 * Xander: Elise, please. Don't behave like that.
 * Elise: ...
 * Xander: *sigh* Very well. If it brings you solace, I promise to try.
 * Elise: You mean it? YAY! Here, it's all yours. There are lots more where that came from too! Fighting Wars on Dance Floors is great! Oh! So is World Peace through Song. Or, actually, I've got a whole stack in my room, if you wanna look and pick a few!
 * Xander: Ah. Thank you, Elise. I shall peruse them at once. For the sake of Nohr.
 * Elise: YAY! You're the best person in the whole world, Xander!

 * Xander: Effie. Do you have a moment?
 * Effie: Lord Xander... Is anything the matter?

 * Effie: Complaints?
 * Xander: How is your relationship with Lady Elise? All is well, I hope?
 * Effie: Oh, it's perfect. I am prepared, as always, to protect her to my utmost ability. I push myself to the max in every workout and battle for her. I consume plate after plate of food for her. And when the food's all gone, I scavenge for more. For her, I must be strong!
 * Xander: Excellent. We should all be so lucky to fall under your protection. But tell me, is there anything that makes you unhappy? Please, speak freely.
 * Effie: If anything, I am somewhat dissatisfied with my own performance.
 * Xander: How so? It seems you do above and beyond in all you do.
 * Effie: It's just... I hold myself to an impossibly high standard. In some ways I've plateaued, but I want to take my training further. I've tried everything, but it's been difficult to make any progress...
 * Xander: I see. Well, I'm certain you have yet to reach your maximum potential. Have you consulted with Arthur? He seems to take his personal fitness quite seriously. You should have a word with him. Perhaps he'll have some workout tips for you.
 * Effie: Sound advice, milord. I will do just that.

 * Xander: Ah, Effie. Did you ever meet with Arthur about your training?
 * Effie: Yes, milord. He observed one of my workouts, and then we... uh... sparred.
 * Xander: Fantastic.
 * Effie: Er, yes. Although, to be honest the sparring wasn't particularly useful.
 * Xander: Oh?
 * Effie: Well, it's just... Arthur didn't offer much in the way of competition. Although, in fairness, it wasn't really his fault.
 * Xander: Please, elaborate
 * Effie: Certainly, milord. Just as Arthur was getting into his battle stance, a bee flew up his nose! Flailing about in confusion, he stumbled across a tree root and lost his balance. We were, unfortunately, positioned near the top of a particularly steep ravine...
 * Xander: Ah, no need to continue, I can guess what happened next.
 * Effie: So... you don't want to hear about the part where he got struck by lightning?
 * Xander: *sigh* Poor Arthur. He seems almost cursed somehow...

 * Laslow: Hello, Prince Xander! How is milord doing today?
 * Xander: Not well, I'm afraid.
 * Laslow: I suspected as much, but I'm still sorry to hear it. What troubles you, milord?
 * Xander: I've had complaints of a royal retainer hitting on women in town. ...Some of whom were even in the presence of their spouses at the time.
 * Laslow: Oh? Do you... know the identity of this gorgeous fiend, milord?
 * Xander: It was you, Laslow.
 * Laslow: Ah, indeed. Once again, your powers of deduction astound me, milord.
 * Xander: And that's not the worst of it. I received yet another report only this morning. "Royal retainer apprehended by town watch after engagement in tavern melee. Witnesses report he joined the fight in an attempt to impress a local barmaid." What possesses you to do such things?
 * Laslow: Ah... the full moon, perhaps?
 * Xander: This is no laughing matter, my friend. Laslow... Do you remember the day we met?
 * Laslow: Of course! I'll never forget how shocked everyone in court was on that day. Selena and I might as well have appeared out of thin air, judging by their reactions. Nobles never expect mere commoners to make names for themselves in court.
 * Xander: And they were only further surprised when my father appointed you as my retainer. But while my father chose you, I felt I had to test you myself. Do you recall our duel? Once we began, I found myself taken aback by your strength. Your technique was flawless. At one point, I knew you were merely playing with me. Though I eventually gained the upper hand, I truly feared I might lose the match.
 * Laslow: You did? You never told me that.
 * Xander: I'd never seen someone like you before. You came from nowhere and possessed such incredible power. I imagined you to be a person of great fortitude and discipline. It saddens me to know you are nothing more than a lowly womanizer... Hoy you became so strong when you spend all your time chasing girls is beyond me.
 * Laslow: Ahahaha... It's a gift, I suppose.
 * Xander: Though you continue to disgrace yourself, I won't abandon a trusted retainer. Still, I am obliged to take responsibility for any trouble you cause.
 * Laslow: Thank you very much, sir. I appreciate your support. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some training to do...
 * Xander: Hold! We aren't done here. I'm putting you under house arrest.
 * Laslow: What?! For some harmless flirting and that friendly little scrap?
 * Xander: For some time, you will be forbidden from leaving camp unescorted. In fact, whenever you are not performing your duties, you will remain in my chamber.
 * Laslow: That's absurd! I'm a grown man!
 * Xander: Do you mean to disobey me?
 * Laslow: N-no milord. I've no wish to part with my flesh.
 * Xander: Good. Then it's settled.
 * Laslow: Yes, milord... *grumble*

 * Laslow: Ugh... So bored... Is this really all you're going to allow me to do all day? Sit here cross-legged on your floor while you go about your business?
 * Xander: It is. And you know whose fault that is. As long as you remain in my sight, I know you are not bothering the townspeople.
 * Laslow: But I'll get rusty! At least let me go out and get some training done...
 * Xander: Not a chance. I know you too well. The second you're out of sight, you'll make a beeline for the nearest town. Likely to harass yet another poor young woman.
 * Laslow: Fine, fine. Hm? Hm...
 * Xander: ...Staring at me like that will not give me cause to release you any sooner.
 * Laslow: So! You don't have a birthmark on your eye or anywhere, do you?
 * Xander: What? A birthmark?
 * Laslow: Yes. Like a crest or something. Maybe one symbolizing Nohrian royal lineage. Just curious.
 * Xander: What are you talking about? How would I even see with a mark on my eye?
 * Laslow: Ha! A fair point. I never figured that out myself. I ask because the royal family of my homeland had them. I wanted to know if it was the same here.
 * Xander: Oh? Is something on your mind? It's rare I hear you speak of your homeland.
 * Laslow: Is it? Well, if you'd like to know anything about it, I'd be happy to tell you. Although my boss is keeping me busy these days, so I'm a smidge pressed for time.
 * Xander: Was that sarcasm? With me? I admire your bravery.
 * Laslow: N-no milord! I wouldn't dare!
 * Xander: Remember this well, Laslow. If you ever disobey me and attempt to flee, you will not make it far. I will seek you out, I will find you, and I will punish you. By any means necessary.
 * Laslow: Oh? And just how do you think you would find me?
 * Xander: I would begin by looking into your past, of course. No one gets through life without leaving footprints. No matter how remote their homeland is.
 * Laslow: Well, you may have a hard time of it then. There are very few footprints of mine in this world, and none of them are old. Besides, I don't know where you'd start with a fake name and appearance.
 * Xander: What?
 * Laslow: ...
 * Xander: Laslow... Are you...
 * Laslow: ... Just kidding! I got you, didn't I?
 * Xander: So, you think it's fun to play pranks, do you? Very well. It appears as though you require stricter disciplinary action.
 * Laslow: What?!
 * Xander: I had planned to end your confinement today, but I think a change is in order. You are to report to my chambers at dawn tomorrow morning.
 * Laslow: What?! Please no!

 * Laslow: Agh...my legs are aching like crazy... I hope this ends soon...

 * Laslow: No, milord, I don't believe you have.
 * Xander: Before you and Peri, I had another two retainers. They were both remarkable warriors—perhaps even stronger than you two. Both were serious and devoted. Their every action weighed and considered.
 * Laslow: They don't seem very similar to me. Or Peri, for that matter.
 * Xander: They weren't. If anything, they were your opposites. I always thought I would have them at my side even after ascending the throne.
 * Laslow: I see. Then why did you replace them?
 * Xander: I did not. They fell in battle at the hands of powerful Hoshidan soldiers. We were outnumbered. They both gave their lives to protect me.
 * Laslow: Oh...
 * Xander: It's easy to say they died fulfilling their duty. But...I believe that had I been stronger, they would still be alive. They died because I was weak.
 * Laslow: Lord Xander...
 * Xander: Laslow...if you wish to fritter away your life on nonsense, I cannot stop you. But, please... Stay vigilant. Don't ever make me experience something like that again.
 * Laslow: Understood. I will do my best. For you... and for your past retainers.
 * Xander: I am relieved to hear you say that. Thank you.
 * Laslow: Well, I have to admit, it didn't take much convincing. I'm quite attached to my flesh. However, there is a related matter I must speak to you about...
 * Xander: Hm?
 * Laslow: If, after the war, I were to go somewhere. Somewhere far away... If you never saw me again... Would you be angry? Would you be able to forgive me for abandoning you?
 * Xander: ...Yes. I would.
 * Laslow: Oh? Truly?
 * Xander: It is not your company I require. Only that you continue to draw breath. I just want you to ensure you live. Whatever your true name or appearance.
 * Laslow: Milord, I—
 * Xander: Wherever life takes you, remember this: You are not simply my retainer... You are my cherished friend. I wish you only the best in what you choose to do with your life. And, come what may, I will never forget you.

 * Xander: Good. Well, then. That will about do it. You may take your leave of me now.

 * Peri: That sounds great! Thank you!
 * Xander: I shall start by letting you in on a secret.
 * Xander: When nobles speak, we typically consider our words with great care.
 * Xander: We take time to build up a large vocabulary that we may properly convey our thoughts.
 * Peri: You mean, you use fancy words?
 * Xander: Ha! That's one way to look at it.
 * Xander: Once you build up a proper vocabulary, it's easier to speak formally.
 * Xander: I swear, it's not as hard as it first seems.
 * Peri: That's all it takes?
 * Peri: OK! I'll give it a shot!
 * Peri: *ahem*
 * Peri: Thou Lord Xander! Would thine desirest to ride to the batt-um, the kerfuffle with us?
 * Xander: ...
 * Xander: "Thou" is a pronoun. You don't use it with a name. Also it is an informal pronoun...
 * Xander: As for "kerfuffle"-
 * Peri: Whaaat?! That was wrong? I don't get it... This is too hard!
 * Xander: "Lord Xander! Is it your will to ride into battle with us this day?"
 * Xander: That would be how it's said with the proper formalities. Now you try.
 * Peri: How can I?! I don't get it at all!
 * Peri: You lied, Lord Xander! This is WAY too hard to keep straight.
 * Xander: Don't get discouraged. It takes practice.
 * Xander: Here's how you could have said that... Repeat after me.
 * Xander: "This is far too burdensome to put into practice!"
 * Xander: That's how a refined lady might say it. Now you try.
 * Peri: This is far too...burdensome...to put into practice.
 * Xander: Excellent! Very good, Peri.
 * Peri: ...
 * Peri: I hate this!
 * Peri: I give up. I'm just gonna talk like normal!

 * Xander: That feels as if it was ages ago. though in truth not much time has passed.
 * Peri: I've always wondered, Lord Xander... Why did you bring me to the castle? I didn't win the tourney. I came in, what, third? Fourth? Why call me up instead of the champion?
 * Xander: It was your class.
 * Peri: Like, in school? But I never graduated...
 * Xander: No, as in your caliber as a person. Your quality.
 * Peri: My caliber? But I didn't win.
 * Xander: Is that what you were thinking about during the tournament? Winning?
 * Peri: Not really. I just thought it would be fun.
 * Xander: Yes. And despite that mind-set, and your lack of preparation, you still placed highly. It showed me how vast your potential was. That is why I chose you for service. I wanted strong retainers, who could be counted on not to lose their lives in battle.
 * Peri: In that case, you know how to pick 'em, Lord Xander! I'd NEVER go down without a fight. But do you ever have second thoughts? Like, you wish you'd picked someone else?

 * Peri: HUH?! Are you saying...?
 * Xander: I've had an eye on you ever since I summoned you to the castle. Your style of speech is not an issue, Nohr has had many eccentric queens. Your loyalty has been tested time and time again and found to be perfectly firm. In every way, you seem eminently suitable. And so...
 * Peri: Wait, what? I still don't get it! Say it so I can understand.
 * Xander: I'm putting it as simply as I know how... Let me try this again. In the plainest terms possible... Peri, I'm quite fond of you.

 * Xander: It doesn't have to be. I swear it. If you have something to say, please—just say it!
 * Sakura: M-maybe later...
 * Xander: What was all that about?

 * Xander: Lady Sakura, may I have a word?
 * Sakura: Uh...OK.
 * Xander: I'm curious. The other day, you stopped to say hello and then...disappeared. Now, it's a bit of a mystery. What was that about?
 * Sakura: I was just p-practicing.
 * Xander: Practicing what?
 * Sakura: I'm training myself not to be s-so shy. I always get nervous around people. I thought if I could work up the nerve to talk to someone like you...
 * Xander: Someone like me?
 * Sakura: Well, y-you're the most intimidating person in Nohr!
 * Xander: Oh. I see.
 * Sakura: Ack! I'm s-sorry! I didn't mean to blurt it out like that! I'm sure you're actually v-very nice. It's just...you're pretty scary!
 * Xander: Scary? Ha!
 * Sakura: I'm sorry! I didn't mean to say that!
 * Xander: Don't apologize. I get that a lot. I am used to it by now. Some mean it as a compliment; others do not.
 * Sakura: Oh, that was so incredibly rude of me! I'm r-really sorry!
 * Xander: Gone again, just like that...

 * Xander: Princess Sakura, may I have a moment of your time?
 * Sakura: Um! I! Uh...
 * Xander: You wanted to practice speaking with the most intimidating person in Nohr, right? I'm happy to be of service.
 * Sakura: I'm s-so sorry I said that... It's just...
 * Xander: You don't have to explain. I understand completely.
 * Sakura: You do?
 * Xander: I don't tell many people this, but I was a timid child. I could barely make eye contact. I was also clumsy with a sword at first, which disappointed my father to no end. Then, one day...I decided to change. I tried the very tactic you are using now. I decided to talk to the most frightening person I could find.
 * Sakura: Wh-who was that?
 * Xander: My father.
 * Sakura: Really?!
 * Xander: Yes, and it worked. But talking to my father was not the thing that changed me.
 * Sakura: It wasn't?
 * Xander: The most important thing is that you must WANT to change. I see that desire in you. So, let's talk. Now. You choose the topic.
 * Sakura: B-but I don't know how!
 * Xander: Don't think so hard. Tell me... What's the best thing that's happened to you today?
 * Sakura: Oh...I know! I passed by some pretty flowers this m-morning.
 * Xander: Ah, gardening. That's good! We'll start with flowers... What sort were they?

 * Xander: Lady Sakura, shall we talk some more?
 * Sakura: Yes, I would enjoy that?
 * Xander: Ah, I like that fierce look in your eyes. Your training seems to be paying off.
 * Sakura: Yeah, maybe... If it is, I have you to thank!
 * Xander: Today, I think we should talk about the future.
 * Sakura: Oh, that's good! I like to imagine what it'll be like in our countries after the war...
 * Xander: As do I, but that's not what I meant. Princess Sakura... *ahem* What I mean to say is...um... This is odd. You have me at a complete loss for words.
 * Sakura: Prince Xander? Wh-what is it?
 * Xander: What I'm trying to say is... I want you to have this ring.
 * Sakura: Th-th-that's a... ?
 * Xander: Sakura, you look pale. Are you OK?
 * Sakura: Y-yes... I just got n-nervous again. This is such a huge moment! Heeheehee...
 * Xander: Now you're laughing? Gods, this isn't going well.
 * Sakura: No, I'm sorry! It's just funny... We're both making each other nervous!
 * Xander: I suppose I can see the humor in that. Still, I must implore you to give my request your serious consideration. If you say yes, I promise I will always do my best for you and for our people.
 * Sakura: Oh, Xander. You've already done so much for me. I first approached you because I found you intimidating... But now, I look forward to our every conversation. I won't keep you w-waiting, Xander. My answer is yes!
 * Xander: I am so pleased to hear it. Come, let us go tell the others.

 * Siegbert: Hello, Father
 * Xander: Siegbert? I didn't see you there.
 * Siegbert: Are you preparing to ride into the fray?
 * Xander: That I am. Care to join me?
 * Siegbert: I-I'll decline... I lack the necessary experience to ride at your side. Any contribution I could make would pale in comparison to yours, Father...
 * Xander: I'm not expecting you to sweep the battlefield single-handedly, Son. But I think you'd get a lot out of it. Hands-on experience is priceless.
 * Siegbert: I don't doubt that. It's just... You see, I—
 * Xander: I won't force your hand, Siegbert. I realize you have your own duties to handle.
 * Siegbert: I hope I'm not disappointing you, Father.
 * Xander: Think nothing of it. We'd best both be off, then. I to my duties, and you to yours. But do bear in mind that my position and my sword will pass to you someday. Remember that well.
 * Siegbert: You needn't worry about that, Father. It is ever uppermost in my mind...

 * Xander: I'd like to ask you something, Siegbert. What qualities are demanded of those who inspire others to action?
 * Siegbert: Might, wisdom, and skill come to mind. An iron will and faith in one's cause...
 * Xander: Indeed, all of those are crucial qualities in a leader.
 * Siegbert: You have an ample share of each one, Father.
 * Xander: And which of these qualities do you see in yourself, my son?
 * Siegbert: None of them. If I am an apple from your tree, it is undoubtedly a rotten one. I must hone my skills, until I am as mighty and noble as you...
 * Xander: I am very sorry, Siegbert.
 * Siegbert: Whatever for, Father?
 * Xander: I fear that my constant presence at your side has stunted your growth... Even more alarming, I fear I have somehow harmed your own self-image. That is the last thing a father ever wants to do to their own son. To compare the two of us does justice to neither. You have your own methods—your own ideals—and they are as valid as mine.
 * Siegbert: You're wrong! You are the star by which I navigate, Father! The yardstick by which I measure myself. You're...you're my hero.
 * Xander: I understand your feelings, Son. Truly, I do. There was a time when my father was the world to me as well. But if you would learn any one thing from me, let it be this. Your father I may be, but in this army, you and I are but fellow soldiers. And a soldier who cannot rely on his allies shall inevitably meet a swift end. In order to properly rely on me, you must first stop being intimidated by me. I am no star, merely a learning tool. Let us help keep each other sharp.
 * Siegbert: Father... Thank you. I will consider carefully what you have said.
 * Xander: If I can do anything to aid your growth, please don't hesitate to tell me. I wish to know...as your ally, and especially as your father.
 * Siegbert: I will, Father! I promise!

 * Siegbert: Father... There is a small matter I'm hoping you might help me with...
 * Xander: Siegbert? Leaning on me for assistance, are you? It's about time.
 * Siegbert: I hope I'm not being a bother...
 * Xander: Not in the least. What seems to be the trouble?
 * Siegbert: Ofttimes when I am caught in the gazes of our people, I am struck with fear. Their eyes are so heavy with expectation, and there are so many of them... I feel I must be nothing less than perfect in their eyes. And this vexes me.
 * Xander: You buckle under the weight of expectation, do you? I know the feeling well.
 * Siegbert: You do, Father? I didn't expect you to say that.
 * Xander: I'm flesh and bone, like anyone else. I wasn't prepared for this burden at first.
 * Siegbert: Then you are just the one to tell me—however did you manage the strain?
 * Xander: ...Bunnies. Whenever the people's beseeching eyes caused me to lose my nerve... I would imagine them as bunnies. Even the most chickenhearted, after all, never shrank from a bunny's stare.
 * Siegbert: Well, that's...certainly true.
 * Xander: It's not always that I imagine them this way, of course. Only at times when the strain might be otherwise too much to bear.
 * Siegbert: Haha... It's an interesting approach! I'll try that next time, Father.
 * Xander: I hope that it helps you as it has helped me. But do you know what lifts my spirits even more, Siegbert? To see my son come to me for advice.
 * Siegbert: I...I just never wanted you to think that I couldn't figure it out on my own. I just want so badly for you to be proud
 * Xander: I know. And I am. More than words could ever fully convey. But we both stand to gain, never to lose, from frank and honest discussion. Let us not be strangers, but family. Anything you need, I wish to provide.
 * Siegbert: Thank you, Father. I won't soon forget those words. I...I love you so very much.
 * Xander: I love you too, my son. Come. Let us continue this discussion over a cup of tea.
 * Siegbert: Yes, sir!

 * Kana: Hey, Papa. Can I talk to you about something?
 * Xander: Of course, Kana. What is it?
 * Kana: It's Mama... I feel like she's always treating me like a child.
 * Xander: That's only natural. You are her son, after all. And you are still quite young.
 * 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 with things. But whenever I try, she just tells me to go play with my friends instead.
 * Xander: I see. You want some responsibilities of your own.
 * Kana: Yeah! I want to show her she can rely on me. I wonder if there's something I could do for her...
 * Xander: Hmm. Let's see... Well, I try to spar with her as often as our duties permit.
 * Kana: And that makes her happy?
 * Xander: Yes. She's always happy to cross swords.
 * Kana: Oh.
 * Xander: Hm? What's wrong?
 * Kana: I don't know. I guess I don't feel like my sparring with Mama would help her very much...
 * Xander: Ah, I see.
 * Kana: Oh, I know! Let's have a contest, Papa!
 * Xander: 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 Mama thanks the most wins!
 * Xander: Oh? You wish to challenge me? Very well, then. I accept.
 * Kana: Really? Yay!
 * Xander: But remember: I am your mother's husband. I know her better than anyone else. And I do not intend to go easy on you. Besting me will be no easy feat.
 * Kana: That's fine by me, Papa. I'm gonna beat you fair and square!
 * Xander: Heh. Then may the best man win!
