Ryoma/Warriors Supports

With Corrin

 * Corrin: Hey, Ryoma. What are you up to?
 * Ryoma: I was just meditating. It is a type of Hoshidan mental training.
 * Corrin: Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to interrupt.
 * Ryoma: It's fine. Would you like to join me?
 * Corrin: What does it accomplish?
 * Ryoma: It will nurture your concentration and patience, and help you quiet your mind.
 * Corrin: Well, it certainly sounds useful... And you can show me how?
 * Ryoma: Of course! First, sit. Now, cross your legs and rest your feet on your thighs.
 * Corrin: Ohhh, owowow! It hurts! My ankles feel like they're going to snap!
 * Ryoma: Ahaha, such a flair for drama! I would expect nothing less from a first-timer. Cross your legs like this instead. This is not physical training, after all.
 * Corrin: Hmgh... Erm... You mean like this?
 * Ryoma: Exactly--very good, Corrin. Now just hold that position.
 * Corrin: G-got it!
 * Ryoma: Typically you would meditate to lose yourself, but we've spoken so little... So let's talk. How are you doing? Is there anything troubling you?
 * Corrin: Heh, I'm not a kid anymore, you know. I'm doing fine. Everyone is kind to me. And what's better is I'm able to spend time with family like you.
 * Ryoma: I'm glad to hear that.
 * Corrin: Speaking of, we haven't had much time to talk since coming here.
 * Ryoma: Then we'd best make use of it! Tell me about yourself. Whether it's about you, what happened in Nohr, or how you feel about Hoshido.
 * Corrin: There's so much I want to tell you, but I want to hear about you as well.
 * Ryoma: I'd be happy to tell you all you want. The rest of the family is eager to talk too.
 * Corrin: I look forward to that, Ryoma. I hope we can all get together soon and just chat for hours.
 * Ryoma: I'm sure everyone would enjoy that. Corrin... You are truly an irreplaceable part of our family. Let us be ever ready to support each other.
 * Corrin: Thank you, Ryoma. I'll be sure to do my part.
 * Ryoma: Well, let's call it here for the meditation. You can relax now.
 * Corrin: Phew, it's finally over? Ohh, but my leg's asleep! Owowow!
 * Ryoma: Now that is what meditation is all about. It will get easier with training.
 * Corrin: Don't just laugh--help me up! You just said we should support each other!
 * Ryoma: OK, OK, here you go. But let's talk again sometime soon.
 * Corrin: Maybe not exactly like this, but... talking to you was pretty relaxing.
 * Ryoma: It allowed me to clear my head as well. I'll look forward to our next session.

With Lianna

 * Lianna: Wow, Ryoma. You know, uh...so much about the history of Hoshido.
 * Ryoma: Oh. I went off on a tangent there, didn't I... What were we talking about again?
 * Lianna: You had a question for me...
 * Ryoma: Oh, yes. I've sensed that you're quite hesitant to take the throne. Why is that?
 * Lianna: Oh, I don't know... Well...I just don't think I'd be very good at it.
 * Ryoma: Is that so? I can't imagine how you came to that conclusion.
 * Lianna: Look at me. I don't have the personality of a queen, let alone the natural abilities. My brother, on the other hand, is a force of nature. He would make a great king!
 * Ryoma: I see. As a prince of Hoshido, I've had similar concerns. Like you, I believe that a ruler must be an effective leader.
 * Lianna: Exactly! So you agree that my brother--
 * Ryoma: Not necessarily... I also believe that there is more than one way to lead. Some rulers naturally inspire their people. Others must convince those they lead.
 * Lianna: OK...
 * Ryoma: You and your brother would both make good, yet very different, leaders. In an ideal world you could share the crown, but that's impossible.
 * Lianna: Actually...it wouldn't be the first time something like that happened in Aytolis.
 * Ryoma: Interesting... Ha! That sounds like the perfect solution for you two. Such an arrangement would be out of the question in Hoshido or Nohr!
 * Lianna: It hasn't happened in Gristonne either. It's definitely not...typical. But even if my brother and I DID share the throne, we'd always be fighting!
 * Ryoma: Or perhaps you would bring out the best in each other... I've noticed that you're very cerebral, constantly analyzing every situation. And your brother... Well, he's always ready for action, isn't he?
 * Lianna: That's putting it lightly...
 * Ryoma: Don't you see? He would push you to act and you would push him to think. In any case, I hope you consider it...but first we must take back the kingdom.
 * Lianna: OK, I'll think about it. I'd be a fool to ignore your advice.
 * Ryoma: A shared throne... I never thought it was possible. ­Maybe I've been too bound by tradition to consider what's best for my kingdom. What could we achieve if we worked with our opposition, rather than against them?
 * Lianna: Sounds like YOU should be taking your own advice! You're going to be a wonderful king, Ryoma. I can already tell.
 * Ryoma: Thank you... I know you and your brother will lead your kingdom down a great path. People like us hold not only our future but the future of many in our hands. We can't let them down!
