 * Avatar: Can I ask you something, Chrom?
 * Chrom: Uh-oh. Should I be nervous?
 * Avatar: When you found me collapsed and without memory, why did you take me in?
 * Chrom: Well... Because you were collapsed and without memory?
 * Avatar: That's it? Pity was your reason?
 * ​Chrom: Isn't that enough?
 * Avatar: Did you never stop to consider if it was some kind of trap?
 * Chrom: Heh, that's what I had Frederick for.
 * Avatar: But why didn't—
 * Chrom: Avatar, if I see someone hurt or in need. I'm going to help them. That's just who I am, and there's no changing it. Or would you rather I'd left you there, face down in the muck?
 * Avatar: No, of course not. I'm thankful for what you did, I truly am. But it scares me all the same. Chivalry and longevity don't often go hand in hand.
 * Chrom: Ha! I wish I had a gold coin for every time I got this lecture.
 * Avatar: I can only offer advice, I'm afraid. You really should be more careful in the future.
 * Chrom: I'm sorry, but no. If it happened again today, I'd do the same exact thing...
 * Avatar: But—
 * Chrom: Peace, Avatar. I have heard your counsel, and I know you mean well. But as I said, this is who I am. I can't change that, nor would I want to.
 * Avatar: I... I understand. If that is your decision, then so be it. Just do try and be careful, Chrom. For my peace of mind, if not your own?
 * Chrom: I will. I promise.

 * Avatar: Chrom! Are you all right?!
 * Chrom: Er, yes, I'm fine. ...What's got you so excited?
 * Avatar: I heard you were attacked behind the mess tent!
 * Chrom: Pfft! Some local thug approached with a dagger, but he bolted when I drew iron. It was dark... The poor fellow probably thought he was mugging a merchant! Ha!
 * Avatar: You challenged him alone?!
 * Chrom: Well, I wouldn't say "challenged," exactly. More like "shooed away." Can't very well just leave that sort around the camp now, can we?
 * Avatar: By the gods, Chrom! Please, I beg you, do not take any more of these foolish risks.
 * Chrom: Hah! You do realize we're at war, right? Just walking onto the battlefield is a risk.
 * Avatar: I don't fear anyone besting you head-on; I fear you being stabbed in the back! Many of our enemies do not share your sense of honor.
 * Chrom: Do you really think some random cutpurse would get the better of me?
 * Avatar: Shall I list every hero who said that before being poisoned, sniped, or snared?
 * Chrom: Well, I don't think a list is necess—
 * Avatar: You're our COMMANDER, Chrom... Battlefield victories mean nothing if an army loses its leader. You are no longer simply your own man. You stand for all of us.
 * Chrom: Enough... You have a point. You're right...as you always are. I will be more careful. Thank you, Avatar.

 * Avatar: I hear you've been going on patrol with the couple of the men.
 * Chrom: Only to patrol the immediate area.
 * Avatar: ...You know what I'm going to say, don't you?
 * Chrom: That it's too risky, and I need to be more careful. Yes, thank you, mother.
 * Avatar: But if you know this, then why—
 * Chrom: Look. I understand enemies could be lying in wait to try and kill me... But there could also be others who need my help! There's a war going on, and people are suffering. I can't ignore them. I won't.
 * Avatar: So why not send your men to search for these hapless innocents?!
 * Chrom: Because.
 * Avatar: Becauuuse...?
 * Chrom: Because...of you. If I hadn't been there—if Frederick alone had found you—would we have ever met?
 * Avatar: ...Probably not.
 * Chrom: You see? And it's not just you, Avatar. It's everyone like you. I know going out there exposes me to danger, and I haven't always been careful. But it's a risk I'm willing to take in order to connect with the people. To forge bonds.
 * Avatar: Bonds? Between who?
 * Chrom: You and me. Me and the others. The villagers we've met, the world we've seen... Such bonds are the true strength of this army. Without them, we're lost. Others may disagree, but that's one benefit of leadership: I make the final call.
 * Avatar: It's hard to argue when you use me as your example. But at least let me come with you.
 * Chrom: So you can watch my back?
 * Avatar: That's part of it, yes. But I also want to be there when you find the next me, face down in the field. I want to help you make this army stronger. I want to help you forge new bonds.

 * Lissa: Avatar? Where aaare yooou?
 * Avatar: ...Zzz...
 * Lissa: There you are! I was just... Oh! (You're sleeping...?)
 * Avatar: Snnrk! Zzzzzzz...
 * Lissa: (You must really be wiped out. Not that I blame you, getting wrapped up in all this.) (Hee hee! Looks like it's time to quiiietly... geeently... hold your nose!)
 * Avatar: Nh... gnnkh... nnrrrgh...! BWARGH! Wha—?! Risen! Wolves! Risen riding wolves! They're... all... Wait a moment...
 * Lissa: Hee hee hee hee hee! AAAAH ha ha ha ha! "BWARGH"?! Oh gods, that was HILARIOUS! Heeeee hee hee hee hee!
 * Avatar: Lissa, gods bless it... I was fast asleep!
 * Lissa: And dreaming of Risen and wolves, apparently? Tee hee hee! I'm sorry, I tried to resist—I really did. But it was just to perfect!
 * Avatar: Who does such things? Is that really how your parents raised you?!
 * Lissa: ...I...I don't know... I never really knew my parents...
 * Avatar: Oh... Oh, right. That was... Er...
 * Lissa: Oh, don't worry about it. I know you didn't mean anything by it. And actually, there's something else that I should be apologizing for...
 * Avatar: Whatever it is, I'm sure I can forget it if you can forgive my heartless comment...
 * Lissa: Really? That's great! Oh, I was SO sure you were going to be SO angry... See, I was kinda doodling a pic of you in your big, new book of battle strategies... ...Aaand then I kinda spilled the ink and kinda...ruined the book, kinda...completely. Ireallyreallyreallydidn'tmeanto!
 * Avatar: WHAT?! But that was a rare text! I had just started to... ...Er, *ahem* I mean... It's... It's fine. Accidents...happen.

 * Avatar: Phew! I am beat...
 * Lissa: All tuckered out, Avatar? How about a quick, refreshing shoulder rub?
 * Avatar: ...What are you plotting now?
 * Lissa: Oh, please. One little joke, one little time and you get all paranoid. This isn't about pranking anybody. I figure I owe you...
 * Avatar: How do you figure?
 * Lissa: Because you've taken a huge weight off my brother's shoulders, silly! You know what Chrom's like. He never asks for help, even when he needs it. But he trusts you, Avatar. Enough to rely on you. He's not the type to come out and say it, but I know he's grateful.
 * Avatar: You...think so?
 * Lissa: I know so! Nobody knows my big brother like me.
 * Avatar: Well, that is nice to hear...
 * Lissa: So, what do you say? Free massage? Going once... Gooooooing twiiice...
 * Avatar: Okay, I accept! I accept! ...Thanks, Lissa.
 * Lissa: Okay then... Urgh! Geez, your muscles are just one big knot back here...
 * Avatar: ...Aaaaaah, yes, right there... Oooh, that feels amazing...
 * Lissa: How about...this?
 * Avatar: WhaAAAAGH! Cold! Cold and slimy and coooooold! AUGH! IT MOVED! WHAT DID YOU DO, LISSA? WHAT IN BLAZES WAS THAT?!
 * Lissa: Teee hee hee hee! Oh, relax. It's just a frog. You were so perfectly calm, tee hee. I couldn't resist! It had to be done!
 * Avatar: I'm pretty sure it did NOT! And weren't you just saying yesterday that frogs make you "all pukey"?
 * Lissa: I'm willing to put up with a lot for the sake of comedy.
 * Avatar: Well, that makes one of us!

A Support

 * Lissa: Hey there, Avatar.
 * Avatar: Get away from me, she-devil!
 * Lissa: Aw, don't go getting your hackles up! I'm not here to prank you.
 * Avatar: Ha! Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice...don't talk to me again.
 * Lissa: Hee hee! Aw, come on! ...Wait, are you really mad?
 * Avatar: Of course I'm mad! You dumped a toad down my collar.
 * Lissa: I'm pretty sure that was a frog...
 * Avatar: I'm pretty sure I don't care!
 * Lissa: Okay, okay! I'm sorry, Avatar! I'm super-duper 100 percent sorry. And I won't do it anymore, so please be my friend again. Okay?
 * Avatar: ...You're really sorry?
 * Lissa: Terribly!
 * Avatar: And you SWEAR you won't do it again?
 * Lissa: Princess's honor!
 * Avatar: ...Well...all right. In that case I suppose I can forgive you... Let's just shake hands and put this silliness behind us.
 * Lissa: Thanks, Avatar! You're the bes... AAAAAUGH! Wh-what is that, in your hand?! Is it a sna... A sn-n-n...
 * Avatar: A snake? Oh, no, Lissa. I'm pretty sure this is a worm. ...Gotcha!
 * Lissa: Gya! I thought my heart was going to jump out of my throat! You're terrible, Avatar! AND a total hypocrite!
 * Avatar: Uh huh... Why don't you show me what's in YOUR hand, then.
 * Lissa: O-oh! What? ...This? Hee he... Why, how did this frog get here?
 * Avatar: ...Sorry, you were saying something about hypocrites?
 * Lissa: Aw, it's no fun if you see it coming!
 * Avatar: I'd have to be blind not to at this point.
 * Lissa: Oooooo! Next time I'm gonna prank you good!
 * Avatar: And next time I'll seriously stop talking to you.
 * Lissa: What?! Oh...fiiiine! Fine! I guess I'll stop. For real this time. *Sigh* Guess I still have a long way to go...
 * Avatar: Till you grow up?
 * Lissa: No, to the pond! ...I've got about a dozen frogs to put back.
 * Avatar: *Groooaaan*

 * Lissa: *Sigh* I thought "dying of boredom" was just an expression...
 * Avatar: All those pranks, and you're still bored?
 * Lissa: Oh, hi, Avatar. Yeah, it's not that much fun messing with the others... Their reactions are all quiet and stale and...blaaah. I mean, they just stare, or sigh, or walk away shaking their head... Nobody else does that rubbery thing with their face that you do.
 * Avatar: I do a rubbery thing with my face?
 * Lissa: But don't worry! You're safe. A promise is a promise, after all. I'm not thrilled about it, but I don't want you to hate me. So...no more pranks.
 * Avatar: ...... *Sigh* All right, Lissa. I give you permission to prank me again. I won't hate you for it, I promise.
 * Lissa: Wait, really?!
 * Avatar: BUT! On one condition... You have to open this box first.
 * Lissa: Ha! No way, mister! I know this trick! A bunch of snakes or bugs or guts or whatever is gonna pop out!
 * Avatar: ...Perhaps. It's up to you. I'm not forcing you.
 * Lissa: Hmm... I'm scared, but... Gya, that thing with your face, I miss it SO much! Okay then. Here goes... YAAAAAH!
 * Avatar: ......
 * Lissa: A...ring? Wait, Avatar, what's going on?
 * Avatar: I...I love you, Lissa. I love your loyalty, I love your candor, I love your spirit... Gods bless me, I think I even love your pranks! So...what do you say? Will you be my wife?
 * Lissa: *Sniff*
 * Avatar: Are you crying?! Don't cry! I'm sorry! You can say no; it won't hurt my feelings!
 * Lissa: No, stupid! I'm happy! I just... I've loved you for so long!
 * Avatar: What?! Really? ...Since when?
 * Lissa: Yes, really! And since the very beginning! ...I only pranked you to get your attention. Chrom gets to be close to you all the time, when you meet, or when you talk strategy... But I didn't have anything like that...
 * Avatar: Lissa, you could have talked to me about anything, anytime... I can't believe I never noticed...
 * Lissa: Me either... But now we've got all the time in the world to spend together! Oooo! Plus I opened the box, so I get to prank you again, right?!
 * Avatar: ...I thought the pranks were just to get my attention. And if we're getting married, I'd say you got my attention. Sooo...
 * Lissa: You think I'm going to marry that face and never make it do that crazy rubbery thing?! You're nuts!
 * Avatar: What?! Hey! I'm not sure I... Ah, well. If that's what it takes to make you happy...then so be it. Just go easy. We won't have all the time in the world together if I die of a heart attack.
 * Lissa: Heh ha, okay, I promise, Avatar. Wow, what a day... You must be tired out from all the excitement! Sooo...how about a quick shoulder rub from your new wife-to-be, hmm?
 * Lissa: Oh my gosh, this ring is huge! Oh, we're gonna have such a great life together.

 * Frederick: Your grip, stance, and breathing are wrong. Focus, Avatar. ...Again!
 * Avatar: Ready!
 * Frederick: That's enough for today. Your form has improved considerably. The pace of your progress is remarkable.
 * Avatar: *Huff, huff* Th-thanks... I feel like...I've got the basics *huff* down now... But... S-so tired... *huff* I think I'm dying...
 * Frederick: Ha! You're exaggerating! Or at least I pray so. Otherwise you might as well die here—you won't last long on the battlefield.
 * Avatar: I suppose...but I'm exhausted nonetheless... But you... You've hardly broken a sweat?
 * Frederick: I should certainly hope not. If a little training winded me, I would be in no shape to serve Chrom.
 * Avatar: Well, I'm impressed. You must train hard to build such endurance.
 * Frederick: Well, I awaken before dawn each day to build the campfires... Then, whenever we march, I scout the trail ahead, removing rocks and such... Wouldn't do to have someone turn an ankle mid-campaign, now would it?
 * Avatar: (So that's why... I always thought it was just a fixation with pebble collecting...)
 * Frederick: Beg pardon, did you say something?
 * Avatar: Er, nothing important! But I owe you for this training session, so let me help you with tomorrow's fire. It'll be a snap with my magic. Find a tree, hit it with a lightning bolt, and presto!
 * Frederick: ...Instant forest fire.
 * Avatar: Oh! Well, yes, I suppose that...could happen... In any case, I do still owe you a favor. Whatever you like—name it and it's yours. You needn't decide today, of course. Think it over for the next time we meet.
 * Frederick: I am unaccustomed to asking favors, but if you insist, I shall find something.

B Support

 * Frederick: Hello, Avatar. I've thought about your previous offer.
 * Avatar: The favor? Oh, good! What'll it be? Just say the word.
 * Frederick: I recall seeing you eat bear with great relish shortly after we first met. I should like you to teach me this skill. ...Eating bear, that is.
 * Avatar: I remember that night! Lissa was in a froth. Said it smelled like...old boots, was it? Wait, so you didn't eat any, either?
 * Frederick: I fear I've rarely been able to choke down wild game, and bear least of all. But as the war grows harsher, I can no longer afford to be picky. There may come a day when bear is the only food available to us. Best I train to overcome my aversion now, when our situation is not so dire.
 * Avatar: True, and even the finest knight isn't much use on an empty stomach... All right, then, you're on. Let's get you eating some bear!
 * Frederick: Yes, I will train till I can consume anything, without concern for taste or decorum. Like an animal, or a savage... Or like you, Avatar.
 * Avatar: ......
 * Frederick: Er, Avatar? ...Did I say something wrong?
 * Avatar: Um, no, nothing. Don't worry about it. So, Frederick. You don't have a problem with more common meats, you you?
 * Frederick: Beef and pork are fine. I also enjoy a good chicken on occasion.
 * Avatar: Then let's start simple. Take a bite of this jerky.
 * Frederick: I shall tear into it with gusto! *munch, munch* BLEAGH! G-gamey! S-so gamey! What... *cough* What IS this?!
 * Avatar: It's bear. Leftovers from the same bear we ate that night, in fact! I saved some.
 * Frederick: Eeeaaaaagh! Healer! I need a healer!
 * Avatar: Animal or savage, indeed. How rude of him... Guess he wasn't joking about his aversion to bear, though...

A Support

 * Avatar: Hey there, Fredericson! I've got some new cured meat for you to try...
 * Frederick: I'll thank you not to refer to me by that ridiculous name. ...And I'm not so gullible as to fall for your bear-jerky trick twice.
 * Avatar: Oh? I thought you were serious about getting over this, Frederick. Look, I'm not a monster. I prepared a whole series of meats in order of gaminess. We can take it slow.
 * Frederick: ...Well, I suppose I did ask for this.
 * Avatar: All right then. We'll start with chicken, then pork, then beef.
 * Frederick: *Munch, munch* ...Hmm, excellent so far.
 * Avatar: Next is mutton. It starts to get a little tricky here.
 * Frederick: *Munch, munch* ...This is...manageable.
 * Avatar: You're doing great! Okay, this one's venison.
 * Frederick: *Munch, munch*
 * Avatar: ...By which I mean bear.
 * Frederick: PFFFFFFFT! Augh! By the gods! I'm d-dying! Dying! Ah... It's s-so dark... T-tell Chrom that...
 * Avatar: Oh, stop exaggerating! Otherwise you might as well die here—you won't last long on the battle...field? Whoa. I just had intense déjà vu.
 * Frederick: I said the same to you, once upon a training session. And I was right. If I succumb to this, I can't well protect everyone on the front lines... My body is ready, Avatar! The next sample, if you please!
 * Avatar: You talked yourself back into it? Impressive. And perhaps a little disturbing... Ah, well. Whatever works. Let's finish this, Frederick! Open wide!

 * Avatar: Sully? What are you mumbling about? ...And why are you holding your side? Is everything all right?
 * Sully: I'm fine! It's nothing! ...Leave me alone!
 * Avatar: You look anything but fine, Sully. You're not hurt, are you?
 * Sully: No, I... All right, I put on weight and my muscles mass is down. You believe that? We're fighting a war, and I'm getting a gut.
 * Avatar: What? Are you sure? You look great to me—same as ever.
 * Sully: Then you aren't looking hard enough.
 * Avatar: Well, this is a side of you I've never seen.
 * Sully: The hell you talking about?
 * Avatar: Well, I just...didn't think you were the kind of person to worry about her figure.
 * Sully: Gods, but you are a blooming ninny. This isn't about LOOKS! I said my muscle mass had dropped! And that's going to affect combat, which could get my arse KILLED!
 * Avatar: Eeeep! I mean, um, yes! Of course! I get it! ...P-please don't hurt me...
 * Sully: Hurt you? Why in the hell would I do that?
 * Avatar: *Ahem* Well, if you ARE worried about weight redistribution, you could try this.
 * Sully: *Sniff* Gods, it smells like horse slop! What is it, some kind of jerky?
 * Avatar: It's a rare form of dried seaweed, actually. I bought it back in town. The shopkeeper said it contained "insane quantities of fiber." Then he just kept saying "insane" and cackled while doing a little dance... Quite an odd fellow, really.
 * Sully: Hmm... Sounds risky.
 * Avatar: Well, I know how brave you are...
 * Sully: Is that a dare? Fine then! I'll try it!
 * Avatar: Great! To tell the truth, I've put on a few pounds myself lately... I've been meaning to try the seaweed but was too scar—er, busy! Too busy.
 * Sully: HA! Too much pie—that's your problem! All right then, Avatar. Let's see who can get in shape faster!

B Support

 * Sully: Nnngh... Yearrrgh...
 * Avatar: S-Sully? Oh, gods, Sully, what's wrong?! You look like a corpse! So worn out and thin! ... And your skin—it's GREEN! Have you been poisoned? What have you eaten lately?!
 * Sully: J-just the...dried seaweed...you gave me... Ate the...whole bag...last night... Oooooo... Unnngh...
 * Avatar: Wait...did you say...the WHOLE bag?
 * Sully: Is...that bad...?
 * Avatar: Sully, you're supposed to tear off a tiny piece and rehydrate it with water first. The chunk I gave you was a month's supply. If you ate the whole thing... Oh, dear heavens. Your poor bowels!
 * Sully: Kill... kill...you...for this...
 * Avatar: Sully, I am so, so sorry! I should have explained in more detail!
 * Sully: Grr... My own...d-damn fault, taking...shortcuts... But I won't...make that mistake again... Gonna start training... Rebuild muscles... Soon as I'm better...
 * Avatar: You must let me help you somehow. I just feel so awful about this.
 * Sully: Well... I don't know... Maybe... Oh g-gods... Here it comes again... HPPPMF!
 * Avatar: ...Yikes, that did not sound good...

A Support

 * Sully: Hah! Yaaah!
 * Avatar: Looking good, Sully! Feeling better, I take it? And just LOOK at those muscles! I'd say your training's paid off.
 * Sully: I'm getting there. Still got a bit of flab right here, though.
 * Avatar: Where? Here?
 * Sully: Hey! Hands off the merchandise!
 * Avatar: Um, Sully? That's not fat. That's loose skin.
 * Sully: Huh?
 * Avatar: I knew something was weird when you told me you were worried about getting flabby. You train harder than anyone I know.
 * Sully: Skin, huh?
 * Avatar: It's probably a result of the seaweed. You lost a lot of weight during your trial and the muscle is still filling in. Give it another week of combat and eating right, and it'll disappear soon enough.
 * Sully: Huh. I guess that makes sense.
 * Avatar: Trust me. You're in perfect shape. I should know—I've been training with you all week!
 * Sully: Huh. ...Well, all right then.
 * Avatar: I guess that means you win our contest. My belly hasn't shrunk an inch.
 * Sully: Well, just don't go trying any of that damn seaweed! Har har har!
 * Avatar: Er... heh heh, n-no, that would be a foolish thing to—HuuuRRRRRRGH?! ...Uh-oh.
 * Sully: Oh, don't tell me... You ate the seaweed?
 * Avatar: Y-you kept getting...skinnier... I h-had to...catch up...
 * Sully: You idiot! You saw what that stuff did to me!
 * Avatar: N-no, you're... Urk! You're right... S-s-so right... Gotta go! *GURRRF*
 * Sully: Yikes, that did not sound good...

 * Sully: Feeling better, Avatar?
 * Avatar: I think the storm has passed, thank goodness. Plus all the training's starting to pay off! My muscles are hard as rocks! Just look at them! Rrrrrr...
 * Sully: ...Whoa, that IS impressive. Hey, and check out my skin! It's all back to normal! See? Feel it!
 * Avatar: Er...
 * Sully: ...What?
 * Avatar: N-no, I just... L-last time I touched you, you threatened to take my hands off.
 * Sully: Yeah, well... Maybe I don't mind quite as much now.
 * Avatar: No...? In that case, maybe it's time I gave you this...
 * Sully: ...A ring? Are you... Are you proposing to me?
 * Avatar: I love you Sully! I can't think about anything else! When we started out, I just saw you as this intimidating stranger... But the more we trained, the more I saw what an amazing person you really are.
 * Sully: ... I see.
 * Avatar: So wh-what do you say?
 * Sully: ...I guess I've been thinking about you a lot as well, Avatar. Heh, even as I was cursing your name for that damn weight-loss seaweed... Of course, you showing off those muscles didn't hurt either, heh heh... What I want to say is...I feel the same way. So yes, I accept.
 * Avatar: YES! Oh, I'm so happy! I can finally quit all these workouts... What do you say, shall we have a few pies to celebrate?
 * Sully: OH NO YOU DON'T!
 * Sully: I...I love you, you bastard. There, I said it! Now don't ask me again!

 * Avatar: So if the cavaliers spread out in a fan... And the pegasus knights sweep in from the flank...
 * Virion: Goodness, I can practically see smoke rising from your head. Whatever could have you working at such a fevered tilt?
 * Avatar: I'm practicing strategies and scenarios on this game board. After a hundred forced marches, these pieces are still ready for more. It saves me from running everyone ragged with training exercises.
 * Virion: ...How very clever. You even carved little enemy forces for them to fight. I'm impressed. And that doesn't happen often...with other people, I mean.
 * Avatar: Well, as long as I control friend and foe alike, it's not as effective as I'd prefer. After all, I can't plan for the unexpected when I know all the moves ahead of time.
 * Virion: Then permit me to be your opponent. I shall strike with the nobility of the lion and defend with the grace of the swan!
 * Avatar: Because swans are...good defenders? Er, never mind. I accept. So then. We'll take turns moving units until one of us claims the other's commander. Agreed?
 * Virion: Agreed and agreed again! Oh, what fun! ...Begin, please. By all means.
 * (Scene transition)
 * Avatar: Hold! I need to retract my last move.
 * Virion: Ha ha! Were that all enemy generals so generous! But alas, this is war. ...Checkmate, my good sir.
 * Avatar: ...Blast! I hate to admit it, but I am well and truly beaten.
 * Virion: Oh ho! I told you I was both a lion and a swan, did I not?
 * Avatar: More like a chicken and the far end of a horse! I'm no noble lord, but your strategy wasn't exactly what I'd call honorable.
 * Virion: Heavens! Aren't we plainspoken.
 * Avatar: Still, I appreciate the practice. Thank you, Virion.
 * Virion: If you wish me to unleash my dishonorable strategies again, you have but to ask.

 * Avatar: Ho, Virion! Care for a rematch? I have a method to defeat you this time for certain!
 * Virion: Oh? How thrilling! I do so love a challenge. Though I do recall you saying something similar before the last 20 attempts... One moment. You're not, by any chance, losing on purpose, are you, sir? I see now! This was all a ruse to spend more time with your noble Virion! Charming, I suppose, but I fear my heart has room only for the fairer sex.
 * Avatar: And my heart has no room for a grown man in a bib.
 * Virion: B-bib?! Now see here, you uncouth barbarian! This is a CRAVAT! This is the very height of fashion among sartorially minded nobility.
 * Avatar: ...Sounds fancy. Your move?
 * Virion: Gya! I can forgive ignorance, but sarcasm is another matter! You've made a mockery of the delicate art of hollow flattery! I demand satisfaction on the field of battle, sir. Have at you!
 * Avatar: Do your worst!
 * (Scene transition)
 * Avatar: Blast and blast again! Why can't I beat you?!
 * Virion: It seems my cravat is vindicated.
 * Avatar: I'll not speak to your fashion sense, but you have a real knack for strategy, Virion. Perhaps you should be giving orders instead of me.
 * Virion: Inadvisable, my dear lad. I fear we'd never last the war. Spare a second glance at the board and tell me: Who has more soldiers left alive?
 * Avatar: Ah...
 * Virion: I won, yes, but at what cost? Half the moves I make in this game could never be used in a real battle. My own men would have my head on a pike before the enemy even reached me. No, this army needs a tactician who loathes the sacrifice of even a single man. It needs you, Avatar.
 * Avatar: Virion? That was almost...kind. Perhaps even sensible. Are you feeling well? You're starting to sound like a normal person.
 * Virion: I am ever the definition of sensibility. And "normal" is just another word for "common," thank you very much. Still, I'm confident you'll come to share my uniquely elegant sensibilities with time. Why, people will think us twins!

 * Avatar: Now, what would he want more than anything? Hmm... Maybe a sword? Wait, what am I thinking? He already owns the most treasured sword of all...
 * Stahl: Heya, Avatar! You thinking up a birthday present for old man Chrom?
 * Avatar: He's hardly "old," Stahl... But yes, I am. And to be honest, I'm at a bit of a loss for ideas.
 * Stahl: Ha! Isn't that a pickle!
 * Avatar: Buying for royalty would be hard enough, but we're in the middle of a war. It'd have to be small, to transport easily with the caravan, and nothing excessive...
 * Stahl: Yeah, cheap is good. Chrom's never been much for gold and glitter, anyway. I was actually thinking of brewing up a special concoction for him.
 * Avatar: You mean like a potion or tonic? I didn't know you dabbled in such!
 * Stahl: My father is an apothecary, and he taught me the trade.

 * Avatar: Chrom loved the gift, Stahl! Thanks so much for letting me chip in.
 * Stahl: Not at all-I should be thanking YOU. I doubt I could have afforded everything without your fat purse.
 * Avatar: Oh, come now. Don't think I'll fall for that old trick...You helped me and just made it seem like I was helping you. I don't know how you do it, but I'm grateful nonetheless!
 * Stahl: Heh. I guess I've always been good at reading people. Even when I was young, I could tell what folks wanted before they even said it. It's not much of a secret ability, but it's the only one I've got!
 * Avatar: On the contrary, I think being sensitive to others is a precious skill indeed.
 * Stahl: I don't know if I'm sensitive, exactly. I just find it easy to read people. You'd be amazed how much you can read from a face, if you know what to look for.
 * Avatar: And you can always read these thoughts?
 * Stahl: Absolutely!
 * Avatar: Stahl, that's a remarkable talent! Truly.
 * Stahl: Ha! Not at all! It's just the coping mechanism of an overly dull man.
 * Avatar: Reading thoughts from faces or gestures? That's every bit as impressive as magic. I bet you're always one step ahead of your rivals, on the battlefield and off.

 * Vaike: Well, I was having a bath—you know, down by the spring—and well... These ladies appeared outta nowhere and started pointin' and laughin' at poor Teach! I was stark naked, with my clothes hung up on the far side of the creek! I reckon they were gettin' revenge for those times I...accidentally spied on 'em.
 * Avatar: Huh.
 * Vaike: And that blasted horse was there, grinnin' like a rabid crocodile! It was humiliatin'!
 * Avatar: Well, that does sound unpleasant. Even if you only have yourself to blame. One might call it... Oh, what's the word? Ah, yes: ironic! In any case, can we please assume that you've finally learned your lesson?
 * Vaike: Yeah, now that I know what it's like to be the victim, the Vaike's spyin' days are over.
 * Avatar: Good. I think when you look back on this later, you'll be glad it happened. But, come. No use moping about what's done. The Shepherds need their Teach. They need his passion and his willingness to take on anything or anyone, damn the odds!
 * Vaike: Har har. Now that's the truth! ...You're all right, Avatar. A good friend through and through.
 * Avatar: You...consider me a friend?
 * Vaike: Darn right! You're in the Vaike circle of trust. Not many folk earn that privilege! ...But now that we're friends and all, that means we can ask each other favors.
 * Avatar: Favors? Well, I suppose if there's something—
 * Vaike: I've given up spying, but I owe those girls a good scare! No one makes a mockery of Teach and gets away with it! So put your thinkin' cap on and brew up some kinda revenge scheme, okay? Maybe some way to dump puddin' on their heads or somethin'.

 * Miriel: Is this the object in question?
 * Avatar: Ah, yes! My thanks, Miriel. I keep it tied to my belt, but it's always falling off for some reason.
 * Miriel: Such actions are indicative of a pervasive downward force exerted on the object. My mother's book contained a passage espousing a similar theory...
 * Avatar: So, um, can I have my pouch back now?
 * Miriel: ...Ah, yes. Here is the passage in question: "On all objects there acts a force which pulls them ever groundward." "Through invisible and without apparent cause, it exists nonetheless." "I posit that it is by this principle we remain rooted to the ground." ...Most intriguing!

 * Miriel: You have a virtuosic proficiency in strategy, despite your amnesia. It is truly fascinating. From this, we can extrapolate two possible hypotheses. One: talent is wholly independent from memory and experience. Two: memories and experience related to the use of one's talents cannot be lost.

 * Avatar: Oh, no. I bought it in town a ways back. It was too pretty to pass up. I figured if I ever found someone to marry, I could...give it to them.
 * Miriel: Ah. My apologies, then, for not returning it to you sooner.
 * Avatar: Er...Actually, how about... How about you keep it?
 * Miriel: Are you certain? ...But you claimed it a ring you would give your future wife?
 * Avatar: Yeah, that's... That's kind of my point actually.
 * Miriel: I see. The ring is for your wife, yet you give the ring to me. Ergo, I would be your wife.
 * Avatar: Well, that's one way to think of it, sure... But yes, that's the idea.
 * Miriel: How interesting. No concrete boundary demarcates the entrance to friendship... Yet the spousal relationship is strictly codified with explicit cues and rituals! ...Very well. From this moment on, the transitive property holds that I am yours.
 * Avatar: You do have a choice in the matter, you know?
 * Miriel: I'm well aware of this. Call it spontaneous reactive affection. Or an autonomic reply to emotional stimuli. Or perhaps it's an invisible, inexorable force that draws me to you. Whatever the causation, I suspect I've fallen for you. ...Ah! This calls for a new unified theory!
 * Avatar: Heh, well we've got the rest of our lives to figure it out. (...And the rest of my life to try and understand what the heck you're saying.)

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

 * Avatar: Still writing a reply to that letter? You've been staring at a blank page for an hour. Was it bad news? Nothing serious, I hope.
 * Ricken: No, just an average letter from my parents. "Hope you're well," and all that.
 * Avatar: Then why are you so strapped for a reply?
 * Ricken: It's...tricky. I just don't know what to say.
 * Avatar: There're plenty of things you could write about! Especially after that last battle. Tell them about how you dodged one brush with death after the next! Impress them!
 * Ricken: Are you insane?! The object is to make them worry about me LESS!
 * Avatar: Oh. Right. Well, why not tell them about that fight against the Risen? Talk about how you tore them limb from limb and flung the pieces to the winds!
 * Ricken: But I did no such thing! Besides, that would have them worried about me in a whole other way... See the problem? I can't LIE, but if I write about how things really are, they'll worry. And if I write about how much I miss them, that only makes it worse...
 * Avatar: How about just a few words to let them know you're all right?

 * Maribelle: Reading up, how lovely. I hadn't realized the lowborn read at all!
 * Avatar: Did you just drop by to look down your nose at me, or was there something else?
 * Maribelle: A noble's nose engages in no such activities! I was sincerely impressed. If my turn of phrase offended, I apologize. Forgive me?
 * Avatar: Er, all right. I take it back. But was there something you needed?
 * Maribelle: Yes. I had hoped to learn more about you.
 * Avatar: Me? Why me? I'm not that interesting, you know.
 * Maribelle: Can you fault me for being curious about an amnesiac with a genius for strategy? You've also earned quite a bit of trust from my dear friend Lissa. It's only natural that I'd want to learn more about the stranger in our midst. I suppose you might simply say that I hoped we could become...friends. Unless you object, of course.

 * Maribelle: A question about the material we covered yesterday, Avatar.
 * Avatar: Ah, you mean about my lessons on the language of the great unwashed?
 * Maribelle: Precisely, yes. I immediately set about to practice what you'd taught me, but... Well, everyone I spoke to looked askance, or avoided eye contact altogether. Others still contorted with glee, as if they were stifling laughter.
 * Avatar: Wait, you used that slang? Out loud? In public?
 * Maribelle: If you hope to communicate with a person, you must first speak their language, no? And the quickest way to internalize new knowledge is to put it into practice!
 * Avatar: Yeeees, both of those are technically true. But, Maribelle, when we talked, I... Look. The examples I taught you are reserved for intimate friends.
 * Maribelle: What?! You knew this and didn't tell me? Did you hope to ruin me?! Wait... So when I told Chrom he was "a right sweet bit'a fruit"...? You mean to tell me that was inappropriate?
 * Avatar: I'm sorry! It was all in good fun! I never thought you'd actually—
 * Maribelle: One moment. If you taught me this slang, then you must consider us intimate friends?

 * Maribelle: Well, I suppose it begins with learning to stand properly.
 * Avatar: Am I not really standing now? Because it feels like I'm standing.
 * Maribelle: You have the posture of a damp noodle! The resolute promise of a soufflé! A noble stands...thusly. The spine forms a straight line. Pretend an invisible thread pulls your head ever skyward. ...Go on, give it a try.

 * Maribelle: Yes! Just so! There, now. That wasn't so hard, was it? I say, you're quite the apt pupil, Avatar. With enough practice, you could become a gentleman fit for the highest court! Well, I may exaggerate. Perhaps one of the more middling courts.

 * Panne: Humans like you, yes. But not you. You do not bear the blame for what was done, so do not bear the guilt. Guilt creates distance. If you would learn of my people, cast it aside.

 * Avatar: Well, how about trying your hand at field cooking? You know, campfire cuisine? Fredrick has just started teaching me the basics, so I'm not very good yet but...
 * Nowi: That's perfect! We'll practice together and be gourmet chefs before you know it!
 * Avatar: With that kind of enthusiasm, we just might, heh heh...

 * Avatar: ...Well, it looks...edible? At least?
 * Nowi: At LEAST? I think it smells totally scrumptious!
 * Avatar: The proof is in the flavor. Which, I don't know... Looks like it could fall anywhere between mud and toenails...
 * Nowi: Avatar, what ARE you mumbling about? Let's hurry up and eat already!
 * Avatar: Er, right. H-here goes nothing. *Munch, munch*
 * Nowi: *Chomp, chomp* Hee hee! See? It's DELICIOUS! It came out just right!
 * Avatar: It did, didn't it? Thank goodness Fredrick is such a good teacher.
 * Nowi: No, YOU'RE a good student! I wish I could remember things as well as you. I've lived a thousand years, and what can I do? Nothing, that's what.
 * Avatar: Don't say that. You've got time to learn all kinds things. And of course I'll help, if you like.

 * Nowi: Er, okay. Here I go... Pfffth... Thfffptht... Aw, that didn't sound like anything! Maybe I'm not puffing hard enough? If I turned into a dragon, I could blow—
 * Avatar: Er, probably not a good idea. We don't want to start a wildfire.
 * Nowi: *Sigh* Yeah, I guess not.
 * Avatar: Look, I'll help you practice until you've got it. Sound good?
 * Nowi: I guess. Though I still think if I just transform...
 * Avatar: Let's just try it my way, okay?
 * Nowi: Hey look, Avatar! There's another giant snake!
 * Avatar: So there is. And it's quite a bit bigger than the last one you caught... ...Er, Nowi? What are you doing?
 * Nowi: I'm gonna show you how well I've learned to throw! Ready? Here goes! HIYAA!
 * Avatar: Well done, Nowi! You hit him right between the eyes! That must be the biggest snake I've ever seen taken down by a single rock.
 * Nowi: Pretty impressive, huh?
 * Avatar: The Shepherds will eat well tonight! ... If we can haul that thing back to camp.
 * Nowi: I can do it! Even a snake that size is no problem for a mighty dragon. Now I just have to transform and... Oh, no! Where's my dragonstone?!
 * Avatar: Er, you didn't just use it to knock out that snake, did you?
 * Nowi: Oh, gosh. I think I did! *Sniff* Wh-what am I going to do?! I can't ever turn into a dragon again. and no one will get to eat snaaaaaake! WAAAAAAAAH!
 * Avatar: Easy, Nowi, easy. It's all right. We just have to search a little. I premise I won't leave until we've found it. All right?

 * Avatar: The shiny stone you gave me—was it really precious to you?
 * Nowi: Oh, yes. Very much so. But it's yours now. I AM looking for a new one, but I haven't found anything yet.
 * Avatar: Yes, right. That's what I thought. ...Here, I want you to have this.
 * Nowi: Wow, it's SO shiny and pretty! But...it isn't a normal rock, is it?
 * Avatar: No, it isn't. Not anymore. That was the stone you gave me... But I've made it into a ring.
 * Nowi: Er, Avatar?
 * Avatar: yes, Nowi?
 * Nowi: I know what kind of ring this is. You want us to promise each other to stay together forever.
 * Avatar: Oh, so you DO know the custom? Good. I was afraid I'd have to explain.
 * Nowi: Come on, Avatar, I'm not a total dummy!
 * Avatar: Heh. Right, sorry. I forget sometimes how long you've spent with us humans. But if you know this ring... then you also know what it means to accept it.
 * Nowi: I do! And I DO! in every sense of the words, I do, Avatar! I've wanted to be with you for ever so long—I thought you'd never ask!
 * Avatar: then my only regret is not doing so earlier. Oh, Nowi, we'll be so happy together!

 * Libra: Melancholy? Truly?

 * Libra: I've been told my pictures are technically proficient, but lack artistic soul.

 * Avatar: Yes! Seeing your drawing has inspired me to take up the palette myself... But, I fear I'm wasting my time. Just look at this muddy slop! Clearly when the gods distributed artistic talent, I was in the outhouse.
 * Libra: The gods would have waited for you, I'm sure. But let's take a look... Oh...dear. Er, it's a portrait of Lissa, is that right? You picked an odd color for her face... And the left eye is rather...oblong. Still, a fine first effort! We can't expect to be perfect straightaway.

 * Avatar: I would. Still, this little experiment helps me realize just how talented YOU are. I look at that picture you gave me every day, you know?

 * Libra: For you, I will be delighted to make an exception!
 * Avatar: Really? Oh, thank you! What will it be?!
 * Libra: Well, I haven't thought about it. What kind of picture would you like?
 * Avatar: How about a self-portrait?
 * Libra: Er, you want to hang a picture of me on your tent wall? The picture that you look at every night before sleeping?
 * Avatar: Why not? You are one of my closest friends, after all. Is that a problem?
 * Libra: Well, it's just that the last time I did a self-portrait, everyone thought it was a woman. Even after I specifically tried to play up my more manly features...
 * Avatar: That...must have been embarrassing.
 * Libra: Well, not that it matters. It's hardly my fault if people can't see the blindingly obvious, is it?
 * Avatar: Er, right. So, no self-portraits... How about a portrait of me, then? It can be a keepsake for when I get old, to remind me I was once young and handsome!
 * Libra: A most challenging request, but I will pray that Naga guide my hand!

 * Avatar: Here you go.
 * Cherche: Ah, you've included oil portraits of all the wyverns! What a nice touch. Hmm...no. ...No. ...Nope. ...Ugh, not a chance. ...No. ...Aaand, no. Um, Avatar? Did you know that these are all female wyverns?
 * Avatar: Er, right. Is that a problem?
 * Cherche: Minerva is a girl. ...Who likes boys.
 * Avatar: He is? ...I m-mean, she is?!
 * Cherche: Yes, SHE is! ...It's perfectly obvious if you just bother to look.
 * Avatar: (Why in blazes would I ever be looking at—)
 * Cherche: I'm sorry? I didn't quite catch that.
 * Avatar: J-just scolding myself for making such an obvious blunder! Ha ha! ...Ha. Well, I guess I'll be starting over then.
 * Cherche: You can probably tell just by looking at her, but Minerva is VERY picky. So do make sure that you bring her only the most handsome candidates.
 * Avatar: ...You do realize that I have no concept of what makes a wyvern handsome, right?
 * Cherche: The shape and length of his horns, the shine of his scales, and the length of his wings. Also consider overall musculature, roar volume, and fire-breath heat. ...Oh, and if he happens to be rich, so much the better.
 * Avatar: Oh, you have GOT to be joking!

 * Cherche: Oh, she definitely likes him.
 * Avatar: Thank heavens! I was just about at the end of my rope with all this wyvern business...
 * Cherche: Thank you, Avatar. We both appreciate everything you've done for us. You are truly too kind.
 * Avatar: Well, if I do succeed, I imagine my name will go down in the history books.
 * Cherche: As the first-ever chaperone for a wyvern blind date? Oh yes. I wager you'll be famous for centuries.
 * Avatar: ...Wait. I'M not going to be there when they meet! That's absurd! I've never even matched up people, let alone reptiles!
 * Cherche: Oh, you're a quick study. I'm sure it will all go swimmingly.
 * Avatar: I'm not!
 * Cherche: If it makes you feel better, I'll be there as well. I'm very familiar with the nitty-gritty of wyvern romance.
 * Avatar: No, knowing you are familiar with wyvern romance does NOT make me feel better! Besides, why don't you just take over from here and enjoy all the glory? I mean, I'm just blundering around in the dark, and frankly—
 * (Minerva cries out)
 * Avatar: WAAAAAAH! WH-WHAT WAS THAT?! MY EARS ARE RINGING! HELLO?! CAN YOU HEAR ME?! WAS THAT A CRY OF HAPPINESS OR INSANE RAGE?!
 * Cherche: Rage. ...She's concerned you might abandon the project.
 * Avatar: BRANDON THE REJECT?! WHO?!
 * Cherche: She seems sure that you are the key to all of this working out.
 * Avatar: A BEE IS LURKING?! I CAN'T... WAIT, HOLD ON! *sniiiiiiff* ...Oh, gods, that's better. My ears just popped. But look, I still have no idea what I'm actually doing... *sigh* Aw, heck. I started this. I suppose I might as well see it through to the end.

 * Cherche: Oh, Avatar, I'm sorry Minerva's date didn't work out so well... Especially after you went to all that trouble. He was such a fine-looking wyvern, too—I truly thought Minerva would take him.
 * Avatar: I wasn't sure what I was in for, honestly, but I certainly didn't expect them to fight! They would have burned down the entire village if you hadn't intervened!
 * Cherche: They just needed a good scolding to get them to settle down.
 * Avatar: *Sigh* I suppose it's back to square one again then, eh?
 * Cherche: Actually. I'm starting to think Minerva is simply too old for marriage now. I suppose we'll both just be a couple of old maids until the ends of our days.
 * Avatar: Have you ever...looked for a husband?
 * Cherche: Oh, sure. But it never really worked out for one reason or another. Well, actually, it usually didn't work because of Minerva. She tends to scare people off. A couple of men even asked me to leave her for them, but I couldn't do it. I guess a wife with a wyvern just isn't an enticing prospect...
 * Avatar: Then Minerva has my eternal gratitude.
 * Cherche: ...What do you mean?
 * Avatar: She chased away my rivals. Thanks to her, I get to be the one to give you this.
 * Cherche: A ring? An...engagement ring?
 * Avatar: Cherche, all of this matchmaking has made me think about my own prospects. And also it's made me think of you and...how much I love you. I swear I will look after you and Minerva till the ends of our days. ...Will you marry me?
 * Cherche: Why. Avatar! Th-this is so surprising! I accept! Oh, I gladly accept!
 * Avatar: I won't let you down, Cherche. You or Minerva. I promise!
 * Cherche: It's funny how this all started with me trying to find a mate for Minerva. And now she's still alone, but I managed to find a man of my own!
 * Avatar: I'd call that a happy twist of fate! Heh heh, no offense, Minerva. ...What, Minerva? What is that look? Wait, not the fire breath! I didn't mean it!
 * Cherche: Hm, it's funny, being close like this just feels...right. It's as if it always was meant to be.

 * Lucina: In the future, almost no corner of our world is safe for humans. Risen prowl the land as masters of all. The people cower in terror, helpless.
 * Avatar: It sounds like a nightmare come true. I can scarce imagine it...
 * Lucina: It is a hell on earth. That is why, we cannot—we MUST not—lose this war. Do you see that? You must ensure that Chrom and this brave army avert catastrophe.

 * Avatar: I can scarce imagine what horrors you experienced in such a hard, cruel world. A future that was lost... That we could not save... Tell me, are there others like you there? People who fight against the Risen?
 * Lucina: Of course. Remnants of armies from the old dynasts survived here and there. We gathered in the last safe corner of the land and united to fight against the tide. But we knew that one day even that final refuge would be overrun...
 * Avatar: Then the future of humanity depends on what we do in the here and now.
 * Lucina: Yes, and my father is the key. Without him, that future WILL come to pass. Our struggle there can only postpone the inevitable, not alter it. When I fight for my father, no matter how terrible the foe, or how powerful... I know that I have no choice. I simply cannot lose.
 * Avatar: You are burdened by the knowledge that you must conquer fate itself. I'm sure it is a terrible weight to bear, but you must remember something...
 * Lucina: What is that?
 * Avatar: You don't have to do it alone. You have friends ready to aid you against whatever you face. And your father has an entire army ready to fight and die for him. ...And you also have me, for whatever that may be worth.
 * Lucina: It is worth a great deal, Avatar.

 * Say'ri: Then I shall strive to answer it.
 * Avatar: It's about your armor. I've never seen anything like it. Where did you get it?
 * Say'ri: This? It's a common enough sight in Chon'sin. All warriors wear a variation.
 * Avatar: The shape is unusual, but clever in its design. The plating looks tough as well.
 * Say'ri: Hardened lacquer. It keeps the armor light while providing excellent defense. It's quite rare to see heavy armor where I come from. And we wield a curved, single-edged blade in both hands, so we do not carry shields.
 * Avatar: That's a far cry from what I'm used to... Are there any other important differences?
 * Say'ri: Aye, a world's worth, sir! You'd find much of Chon'sin culture curious. Food, dress...most everything.

 * Tiki: That is correct.
 * Avatar: So, I was wondering, wouldn't Chrom resemble him more than me?
 * Tiki: Perhaps because Chrom is not like Marth. He is much more direct, and committed to what he believes is right. Chrom might more resemble a different ancestor, from the age I was born in. Another great man in their line, from 1000 years before Marth... But the Marth of my time was wise and fair, and won hearts with his kindness.
 * Avatar: I see. So when you say I resemble Marth, you weren't talking about my appearance.

As the fifth falls, the sixth flees, driven mad. A cut and a slash and three more are done! "I bear you no ill will," I cry as I slay. "Rest in peace! Or rest in PIECES!" As the dust settles, only two men yet stand. My showdown with the evil general begins!
 * Avatar: There's an evil general?
 * Owain: My sword flashes out, a flickering blur of cold blue steel. Ka-thwack! Schwing! "Ha ha ha! I'm impressed, General. No one has blocked that before."

We circle each other for what seems an eternity, then begin a clash for the ages! He raises his blade and brings it down with earth-shattering force! SCHWOO! But I leap to the side with feline grace, and his sword finds only air! He changes his grip and slashes upward, but is speared by my blinding thrust!
 * Avatar: ...Oh. That wasn't so tough, was it?
 * Owain: Y-yeah, well, I read his intent by watching his right shoulder and leading foot. The speed of my thrust came from shifting my weight to the back leg.
 * Avatar: ...Huh. I'm surprised you put that much thought into the details.
 * Owain: You wound me, sir! The saga of Owain Dark has always been a simulated training exercise. Every prudent warrior envisions possible scenarios and crafts tactics to best them.
 * Avatar: So this is just your way of practicing sword forms?
 * Owain: ...Something like that, I guess. Except that my method is a lot more entertaining.
 * Avatar: I suppose people learn more quickly with a training style that suits them. I owe you an apology, Owain. I thought this was but egotistical fluff. You've shown me that there are as many ways to train as there are to fight.

 * Inigo: Heeeeey, Avatar!
 * Avatar: Well, you sound chipper, Inigo.
 * Inigo: Of course! Nothing scares the ladies away like a frown, so I'm all smiles, all the time!
 * Avatar: It always comes back to that, doesn't it?
 * Inigo: Oh, that reminds me! So I told you about that restaurant I ate at, right? The one with the cute waitress?
 * Avatar: Let me guess: you met another woman there.
 * Inigo: She was absolutely gorgeous! And sitting just one bench away!
 * Avatar: How did I know?
 * Inigo: Well, we both finished eating, but right before I turn on the ol' Inigo charm... This huge knight lumbers up and gives me the stink eye! Well, actually he started yelling in some weird language and waving a sword around. But that's close enough to the stink eye where I come from.
 * Avatar: Sounds like you made a narrow escape.
 * Inigo: Ha! I know! I was out of there like a greased pig at the harvest festival. Even I'm not crazy enough to hit on another man's special lady friend.
 * Avatar: This could be a good learning experience. Maybe next time you'll think twice before leering at every woman you see.
 * Inigo: Oh no! The way I see it, each failure is just more practice for my next encounter! And speaking of which, there's this redhead...
 * Avatar: ...This boy is utterly hopeless. Still, I guess everyone needs a hobby. I just hope he doesn't end up on the end of a lance one day...

 * Inigo: Say, Avatar! Got a minute?
 * Avatar: Sure, what is it?
 * Inigo: You have to listen to my tale of woe!
 * Avatar: I bet I know how it ends...
 * Inigo: I'd been hearing rave reviews about a new tavern in town, so I went for lunch. And it was amazing! Even better than what I'd heard, honestly.
 * Avatar: Oh? What's the name? I'd love to try it. And I must say, I'm surprised. I thought for sure you'd tell me about some wom—
 * Inigo: ANYWAY! When I finished eating, I went to give my compliments to the chef... And she was a TOTAL KNOCKOUT!
 * Avatar: ...Right.
 * Inigo: I told her how much I enjoyed the food, and her face just lit up! We started talking about the culinary arts, and things took off from there.
 * Avatar: Didn't you say something about this being a tale of woe?
 * Inigo: Well, at one point I mentioned how smokin' hot she was. Innocent compliment, right? Apparently not, because boy, was she mad! I apologized right away, but she wouldn't have it. She said I was more interested in her body than her food. Then she said she'd rather sleep in an iron maiden than talk to me again! ...Er, and she may have also mentioned something about a chastity belt.
 * Avatar: I suppose she wanted to be acknowledged for her skill more than her appearance.
 * Inigo: You mean she thought I had an ulterior motive for complimenting her cooking? Boy, you tacticians really are smart. After outwitting enemy generals, I bet the ladies must be easy prey.
 * Avatar: ...You get slapped a lot, don't you, Inigo?
 * Inigo: Oh yeah, all the time. I mean, when I'm not getting kneed in the groin. Still, I really mean what I said. She was an amazing chef.
 * Avatar: So the bit about her looks was...what then? Habit?
 * Inigo: Exactly! Habit! ...And THAT'S why I have to go apologize to her right now.
 * Avatar: I really don't know if that's a good—
 * Inigo: I'll apologize for the comment and tell her I loved her cooking. AND I'll tell her it would be delicious even if she was ugly enough to scare a wyvern!
 * Avatar: That's...um...not really... Oh dear.
 * Inigo: I flirt because I love, you know. The last thing I want to do is hurt people.
 * Avatar: Then perhaps you should stop hitting on every woman in sight?
 * Inigo: What? ...Don't be silly! It would be cruel to let one mistake deprive all other women of my charms!
 * Avatar: I suppose there's a kind of respectability in passion, even if it's horribly misguided.
 * Inigo: Ooh, what a great line. ...Mind if I use it?

 * Brady: Afraid I ain't much of a conversationalist. I'd probably bore ya stiff.
 * Avatar: I'm sure that's not true.
 * Brady: Plus, I got no place talkin' to an overachiever like you to begin with. We two just ain't a good fit, see?
 * Avatar: Well, what sort of person WOULD be a good fit?
 * Brady: Oh, I dunno. Maybe somebody like that...one fella. The one with the axe. ...Wait a sec, who do I usually talk to? Gotta be SOMEONE, right? Hells bells... Do I not have any friends?
 * Avatar: Wow, I, uh... I'm sorry I asked?
 * Brady: Augh, it's embarrassing enough without you pitying me! I guess I don't really have much in the way of buddies... But what I need is a mentor! Someone who knows how a real organization works and does it all by the book. Yessir, it's ironclad hierarchy for me!
 * Avatar: You want an ironclad hierarchy?
 * Brady: Course! The sort of outfit I wanna be a part of is run by the boys up top. When the saps down below screw up, they get smacked back in line!
 * Avatar: Sounds like you'd make for a pretty stern boss.
 * Brady: Eventually, maybe. But I ain't planning to be the big cheese anytime soon. I'm the new kid. I want somebody who's gonna show me what's what. A guy with gravitas, yeah? Manly and tough, but dedicated. Little fire in his belly! The sort of fella what I can admire.
 * Avatar: Sounds pretty stoic.
 * Brady: Yeah, exactly! Stoic! Respect for authority mixed with a liberal dose of old-fashioned male bonding! The boss makes his boys into men, and the men defend the boss with their lives!
 * Avatar: Heh, well I guess the trick is finding the right boss, then.
 * Brady: I'm hoping to find somebody up for the job right in this here army.
 * Avatar: I can keep my eye out for likely candidates if you want.

 * Brady: Hmm... Everybody likes him... They trust him as a tactician... His orders are so darn precise... He keeps his eye on the whole field... I know I wouldn't be scrappin' half as well if he wasn't telling me what to do. Plus the guy's a beast in combat, always defending the rest of us...
 * Avatar: Hmm? Who's that over there...?
 * Brady: I think I've found my man!
 * Avatar: Oh, hello, Brady? What'd you find?
 * Brady: Wha-?! Avatar! ...N-no, nothin'.
 * Avatar: You sure? If there's something on your mind, I'm always happy to listen.
 * Brady: ...Okay, well... When you make a plan, what's the most important thing?
 * Avatar: Huh? Where's this coming from?
 * Brady: Don't clam up now, just answer the question.
 * Avatar: Hmm... I suppose it's finding a clear path.
 * Brady: A path's an awfully liberal answer. I was expecting something... I dunno. Fluffier. "Faith in one another" or "ties that bind." That sorta malarkey. Or at least some kinda wacky concept like "efficiency" or "finesse."
 * Avatar: I think everything you just mentioned is important. But I view my job as charting a path from wherever we are to victory. That way, when I give out the directions, there's a context. A logical continuity. I'd say that's first and foremost for me.
 * Brady: So you DO mean it as more of an abstract thing!
 * Avatar: Well, literal roads are important too, but yes. I'm navigating our way through this war, but everyone else is on the ship. We all share in the journey, so I need to be sure we agree on the course.
 * Brady: So it's important it has a "logical continuity"... Huh.
 * Avatar: Does that answer your question?
 * Brady: I dunno. Gimme some time to mull it over. ...Alone.
 * Avatar: I wonder what that was all about?

 * Avatar: ...I'm sure I must be misunderstanding you.
 * Brady: I want you to be the boss what keeps me in line! Remember? We talked about this! I've been looking for someone I could lay my life down for in this here army. A mentor! A big cheese who shows me the ropes!
 * Avatar: Riiight. I remember that much.
 * Brady: Well, I decided YOU'RE gonna be that someone! Sure, you're not exactly the gruff, manly type, and "gravitas" ain't a word I'd use... But what you said before, about seeing a clear path? It kinda got me right here.
 * Avatar: Er, I'm flattered, but I don't know if I'm the sort of superhuman you're looking for.
 * Brady: Whoa, whoa. Hold it right there. A boss has gotta ACT like a boss, you know? Have some bravado. Some swagger! Never play modest, especially in front of the boys! Now, let's try this again. Lay some orders on me, boss! Lemme have it!
 * Avatar: I'm still not really sure what you're looking for me to do here...
 * Brady: Put me to work! Send me on errands! Whatever ya needs! If anyone in this camp's givin' you lip, lemme smack 'em around. Fellas? Dames? Old ladies? Don't matter none to ol' Brady!
 * Avatar: I don't want anybody smacked around!
 * Brady: When you walk around camp, I'll be one step ahead, clearin' your path. When you go to eat, I'll shoo people away from your special table!
 * Avatar: It's starting to sound like you want a gang kingpin, not a mentor.
 * Brady: Exactly! You'd be the boss, which would make me your second! All I ask is that ya worked me ragged. If I can draw my last breath after taking an arrow for ya, I'll be happy!
 * Avatar: What?! I don't want you dying, for me or otherwise!
 * Brady: ...What, I don't make the cut? Not good enough to be one of your boys?
 * Avatar: Ugh, Brady...
 * Brady: Yeah, boss?! Whaddya need? Just name it!
 * Avatar: I'll do my best to mentor you, but not in the way you're thinking. I'm not looking for "boys," and I don't want to be anyone's "boss." I want everyone here to support each other as equals. Not as pawns or kingpins.
 * Brady: ...Sure I can't change your mind? We could get a gang together...
 * Avatar: We have a gang together, Brady! Our army, a field of equals. I consider all of you brothers and sisters—peers—as should you. We're already bound together, and that's not going to change.
 * Brady: Fair enough, boss. Er, Avatar. After all, I wouldn't have chose to serve ya if ya didn't have a magnanimous streak.
 * Avatar: Brady, I just said...
 * Brady: Oh, I heard ya. And don't worry. In my heart of hearts, you're still the boss, even if ya wanna just be small potatoes.
 * Avatar: Thanks, Brady. Not exactly what I was hoping for, but I'll take it. I'm proud to consider you a friend, as well as an ally.

 * Kjelle: I had fought every previous battle on pure momentum. I fancied myself better than any man. Stronger. That's why I needed to face you twice; I couldn't believe the initial result. But strength is more than muscle alone. A keen eye, a quick mind... Any of these things can decide a battle as sure as might. It was you who taught me that.

Somewhere along the way, spite gave way to affection. I realized it was not anger that kept you in my thoughts. It was love.
 * Avatar: Kjelle, I... Thank you. It's hard for me to believe you really feel this way. Especially since I, too, have been entranced ever since our first duel. Seeing you throw yourself into training... It was quite the impressive sight. And attractive, if I may be so bold.
 * Kjelle: You may be so bold, sir. For you've become the source of that drive in me.

 * Cynthia: I was running ahead of the pack so I could feel like I was the one winning the war. But after what you said to me that day, I started watching you. I saw that you were always in the heart of the group. Not charging ahead, not talking all the glory. And yet, you were doing more than anyone to keep us safe.

 * Severa: Hold it right there, Avatar!
 * Avatar: Severa? Is something wrong?
 * Severa: Well, duh! Yes, something is wrong! What was that nonsense at the war council just now?!
 * Avatar: What, with the battle scenario simulations?
 * Severa: On the last one, you said we should let the enemy retreat. Are you daft?! Anyone with half a brain would know to pursue and finish off the enemy! Gawds!
 * Avatar: I considered pursuit, but it seemed too risky. Factoring in everyone's exhaustion from the first round, it seemed safest to stay put. Chasing a bear into its den can be asking for trouble, especially after a long fight.
 * Severa: Unless you actually want to SLAY the bear, in which case it's exactly what you do!
 * Avatar: I think it really depends on the circumstances... In that scenario, we would've been chasing them into rugged, mountainous terrain.
 * Severa: So?!
 * Avatar: So they can't travel at speed through those mountains. It's just not possible. That leaves us plenty of time to finish them off once we're back at full strength. Besides, if a storm hit while we were marching, we'd be devastated. Mountains are fickle things. I thought it best to play it safe in that case.
 * Severa: ...You just think you've got ALL the answers, don't you? You sure have gotten a big head since Chrom made you our tactician...
 * Avatar: Hey, I hardly think that's fair...
 * Severa: Oh, so you DON'T think you're the smartest one here? How humble of you!
 * Avatar: All right, then. Let's say you were the tactician in the same situation. What would you do, Severa? How would you direct the Shepherds to pursue the enemy?
 * Severa: HA! Don't think you can trick me with your...trickery!
 * Avatar: It's not a trick. I'm honestly curious. If you have a solid plan, then great. I don't want to let them retreat any more than you do, after all. Take a while to think on it, and let me know. Right now, I need to meet with Chrom.

 * Severa: Ha! Found you!
 * Avatar: Did you need something, Severa?
 * Severa: Don't play dumb with me. I'm here with an answer to your little question.
 * Avatar: Ah, how best to pursue enemies fleeing into mountainous terrain? Excellent! And what is your solution?
 * Severa: You let the main force rest, but send a small strike force of your best fighters. That way, you minimize risk while also having the best chance of killing the foe. What do you think about that?!
 * Avatar: It sounds reasonable enough... But what if their retreat was just a ruse, and they littered the mountain with traps?
 * Severa: H-hey! You didn't say anything about traps!
 * Avatar: Without knowing anything about the path ahead, sending anyone is a risk.
 * Severa: Yeah, and so that's why you send your best men and minimize casualties!
 * Avatar: ...Not good enough.
 * Severa: Not good enough?!
 * Avatar: Chrom and I aren't trying for fewer casualties, Severa. We're trying for none. Anytime we lose a fighter, the operation is a failure—no matter the end result. Your plan is a compromise we're just not willing to take.
 * Severa: Oh. My. Gawds. Are you serious?! You think you can win a war with pretty ideals and zero casualties? Wake up! You think the war fairy is gonna come flying over and sprinkle victory dust everywhere? ...This isn't about the plan at all, is it? You're just making fun of ME!

 * Avatar: Heh, I admit, I did check myself on the scales afterwards.
 * Severa: Um, so, I thought more about the scenario, and I think I've got an answer.
 * Avatar: I'm all ears.
 * Severa: What if we sent a scout group by air? Like pegasus knights or whatever. They map out the area, nail down the enemy's position, and sniff out any traps. THEN we send a ground force to take out the enemy.
 * Avatar: ...That is a nuanced, well-considered plan. I'm quite impressed!
 * Severa: Right? The aerial units just avoid archers, and the ground troops aren't going in blind. It's the perfect scheme!
 * Avatar: It's a B+ plan, with an A+ for effort!
 * Severa: ...... B PLUS?!
 * Avatar: It's a great idea, Severa, but the scenario we ran at that meeting lacked air support. In this hypothetical situation, there ARE no pegasus knights or...whatever to send. That's why we decided not to pursue the enemy in the first place.
 * Severa: Y-you can't do this! You can't keep making up new rules all the time!
 * Avatar: Heh, sorry, Severa. Really I am. I thought that was clear from the start.
 * Severa: Now I feel like a total idiot for wasting all that time thinking about it!

 * Severa: Ugh, you can be SO dim sometimes!

 * Avatar: You mean a couple? I'd like that.
 * Severa: REALLY?! ...You would?
 * Avatar: ...Heh, I love you too, Severa. I love your passion and your drive. I love how you never hide what you're feeling, for better and for worse.
 * Severa: Well, this time I think it was definitely for the better.

 * Severa: Age? Hee hee! In this timeline, you're not much older than I am, Daddy!
 * Avatar: Hmm... No, I suppose I'm not.
 * Severa: I bet most people seeing us side by side would think we were brother and sister.

 * Severa: EXCUSE me? What is this—my allowance?! I'm not a child!
 * Avatar: No? Then stop acting like one. This is for your own good, Severa. A little hardship in one's youth builds character.
 * Severa: I dealt with a LOT more hardship back in the future, thank you!
 * Avatar: Well my decision is final. I won't continue to just buy you whatever you like. If there's something you want, you'll have to work for it.

 * Gerome: ......
 * Avatar: I'd appreciate some kind of response, if it's not too much trouble...? After all, we are comrades-in-arms.
 * Gerome: This will sound rude, but I have no desire to talk to you. Or anyone. I'm trying to associate as little as possible with anyone from this era.
 * Avatar: Oh? Why is that?
 * Gerome: For people from the future, like me, this world seems unreal. A dream. We are not meant to be here. This is not our place.
 * Avatar: Yes, but—
 * Gerome: No. The safest thing is to avoid contact as much as possible.
 * Avatar: I understand we are divided by time and history. But isnt' that all the more reason to reach across the chasm and forge bonds?

 * Avatar: Greetings, Gerome.
 * Gerome: I told you, I want nothing to do with you.
 * Avatar: Yes, I remember. And I'll try to honor that as best I can. But, please, do me one favor—tell me why you always wear that mask. It has something to do with combat, doesn't it? That must be the reason.
 * Gerome: It is indeed for battle. By masking my face, I can prevent the enemy from reading my emotions.
 * Avatar: Ah! To keep an enemy guessing about your intentions confers a decided advantage. Much like the "fog of war" that strategists exploit to confound and unbalance a foe.
 * Gerome: It also makes it harder for the foe to read the target for my next attack. I'm prepared to exploit any tactic that gives me an edge in battle.
 * Avatar: But it must also narrow your field of vision, yes? Make it easier to be caught unaware?
 * Gerome: And I must make up for that drawback through rigorous training. I have honed my instincts and senses to their absolute limits. The movement of the wind, the scent of sweat, the whisper of steel through air... I can sense these from any direction, even obscured by the mask. This is why I need no battle companions. My skill is more than enough.
 * Avatar: Hmm... The mask hides your emotions from foes on the battlefield... But I imagine it also serves to hide your inner self from allies as well?
 * Gerome: I fight without allies.
 * Avatar: I know you have made yourself strong enough to survive in this world alone. But is mere survival the only goal worth striving for?
 * Gerome: Of course not. My ultimate aim is victory over evil.
 * Avatar: Then you are going about it entirely the wrong way.
 * Gerome: Explain yourself.
 * Avatar: It's obvious, isn't it? Imagine that you, and you alone, survive. Around you lay the cooling bodies of foe and comrade alike. You are completely, utterly alone. Now ask yourself this: is that a victory worth winning?
 * Gerome: You twist my words.
 * Avatar: ......
 * Gerome: Hmph. Then the sermon is over? You weave a lovely tapestry with your words, master tactician. But talk is cheap. In the real world, where I must live, power is everything. Power is right, it is truth, it is victory. And I'll prove as much on the battlefield.

 * Gerome: Actually...
 * Avatar: Yes?
 * Gerome: Do you remember when I told you I wanted nothing to do with people from this era? It was true when I said it...but perhaps I went too far in avoiding your kind.
 * Avatar: Oh?
 * Gerome: I've learned a lot from these grueling battles, about myself as much as anything. Why do I crave battle? Why do I seek power with such single-minded purpose? Once I thought to ask the questions, the answer was clear enough... I was raised in a nightmarish world haunted by the ghouls called Risen. I have SEEN the future and would do anything in my power to unmake it.
 * Avatar: I understand.
 * Gerome: But I see now that I cannot build this future alone, no matter how strong I am. Until we unite, peace shall forever elude our grasp.
 * Avatar: You are wiser than I credited you, Gerome. The task before us is indeed far too great for any one man. We must transform this world, change history, AND overcome fate!
 * Gerome: Do you think it's possible?
 * Avatar: I do, so long as we all work together. We must rely on the ties that bind us. We must lend each other aid, support each other, and act as one. Then, there is hope.
 * Gerome: There is wisdom in your words, tactician. Perhaps I should spend more time listening to people of this age.

 * Avatar: ...Well, I just wanted to talk to you about that last fight. Can you explain what happened? Why you fled halfway through the battle? You were more than a match for that foe. It should have been an easy victory.
 * Yarne: Maybe so, but there are no guarantees in war. You can never be too careful... I'm the last of the taguel, you know?! When I get to thinking I might go extinct, my whole body just locks up!
 * Avatar: So that's it.
 * Yarne: I can't take the fear. And if it's not the fear, it's the pressure!
 * Avatar: I can understand the survival instinct, especially to protect the taguel line. But in some situations, running like that can actually harm your chances for survival. Sometimes the only way out is through. You have to brace and face danger head-on.
 * Yarne: My head knows that, but sometimes my body just disagrees. I WANT to fight. Honest, I do, but...

 * Yarne: But I think I have one. I've thought on it, and I don't see running away as cowardice. You know what's riding on my shoulders. It's being the last of the taguel bloodline. That's too important to risk. I don't belong on the front lines. As the last surviving member, my first priority should be staying alive. ...Is that so wrong?
 * Avatar: Not at all. I don't want you to be reckless with your life either. But you carry more than just taguel blood. You carry their spirit. Have you ever stopped to think about how your ancestors lived their lives? Or asked yourself if they would want you to run?
 * Yarne: How do you mean?
 * Avatar: They were persecuted and hunted down. Each and every one had to fight to live. If they had all chosen to give up and flee, I bet you wouldn't be here right now.
 * Yarne: You...you think so?
 * Avatar: I do. And soon the day will come when you have to fight as well. Running from the fear of extinction was never what kept the taguel alive. And frankly, I don't think it will help you restore your race in the future.

 * Laurent: Avatar.
 * Avatar: Catching up on your reading?
 * Laurent: Indeed.
 * Avatar: That's quite the book collection you've got.
 * Laurent: Thank you. I'm particularly avid in my acquisition of magical tomes. As you're well aware, they serve both as a mage's weapon and a history. Some tell of ages of the gods; others are treatises on nature and its energies. Reading and analyzing their contents is an extremely satisfying pursuit.
 * Avatar: Combat know-how and abstract knowledge in one convenient package! I can certainly see the appeal.
 * Laurent: Just so. Though I am particularly drawn to tomes of a somewhat...peculiar nature.
 * Avatar: Peculiar how?
 * Laurent: Some tomes offer precious little in practical use, but hide wildly entertaining powers. And whenever I find a book of that sort, I simply must acquire it for my collection.
 * Avatar: Useless but entertaining powers, huh? So...different from attack spells and arcane curses and the like?
 * Laurent: Don't get me wrong—I am deeply interested in tomes of that nature as well. But the sort I speak of are cut from a different cloth altogether.

 * Laurent: Ha ha, excellent. Then let us begin! ...This tome conjures forth a whirlwind.
 * Avatar: That's a sort of wind magic seen in battle, isn't it? I'd hardly name it useless.
 * Laurent: Not when the whirlwind in question can fit atop the palm of one's hand. I assure you, it's as lethal as a kitten.
 * Avatar: You're kidding, that small?
 * Laurent: Shall we have a demonstration? ...Haah!
 * Avatar: Whoa! Look at the little guy go! It really does fit in your hand! ...Ah! It disappeared!
 * Laurent: It is as short-lived as it is diminutive! And with zero practical value. Unless you find yourself in need of a light breeze on a warm day, that is.
 * Avatar: Ha ha! Adorable...
 * Laurent: Next, an incantation that summons a faint magical light.
 * Avatar: That sounds like it would have plenty of practical applications as well. What's the catch?
 * Laurent: Very astute of you to ask. The spell is broken the moment the caster ceases the incantation. To make matters worse, the text dates all the way back to the dawn of magic. It's rife with words near impossible to say, and one mistake will leave you in the dark.
 * Avatar: Wow. Even magic was less convenient back in the old days...
 * Laurent: This beautiful thing is a tome of proximal telepathy.
 * Avatar: Telepathy? That sounds amazing! How does it work?
 * Laurent: I shall demonstrate. ...Huuup! (Well...? Can you hear my voice within your head?)
 * Avatar: Wha-?! Your lips aren't moving, but I hear you in my mind! That's incredible, Laurent! How is THAT not useful?!
 * Laurent: ...GAAAAAAAASP! ...I fear the spell's effects last only as long as the caster holds his breath. What's more, the range extends only slightly past arm's length.
 * Avatar: Ha ha! I see! Speaking normally seems like the all-around winner, then. Still, hearing your voice echo inside my head... What a fascinating experience. Thank you for sharing all these with me, Laurent.
 * Laurent: My pleasure. There are others as well, each as hollow a novelty as the next.
 * Avatar: But you were certainly right about them being entertaining!
 * Laurent: I'm glad you found them agreeable.
 * Avatar: Actually, I suppose providing a bit of fun IS a useful quality, isn't it?
 * Laurent: Hmm... Yes, I'm inclined to agree. It is precisely because they are so useless that they are so endearing.

 * Avatar: ...Like, a rainbow one might see after it rains? That's it?
 * Laurent: Yes, but it creates them from nothing! Rainless rainbows!
 * Avatar: I suppose that's impressive, but... Well actually, I'm not sure. If you wanted to see a rainbow, you could just wait for it to rain like normal, no? Or perhaps acquire a prism from any local apothecary.
 * Laurent: Ah, but you're forgetting our previous conversations, Avatar. Sometimes the most useless of novelties can serve a vital purpose—as entertainment. Bringing calm and joy to a war-worn army sounds like powerful magic to me.

Delicate and sweet, always more worried about others than yourself... And prone to the occasional...flight of fancy, shall we say? I love it all.

 * Noire: You...you took away Mother's tools? But...you never did anything like this before...
 * Avatar: Before, you said we couldn't change anything. That we're bound by fate. Well, I thought maybe I could lay that fear to rest. If I did something the future me couldn't, it would prove everything can change.
 * Noire: Hmm... I guess that's true. The father I knew wouldn't even get near these tools, let alone take them.
 * Avatar: I only changed because you came back to me. And together, we can change anything. All of us—you, me, your mother...everyone.
 * Noire: Just please don't ever leave me again.
 * Avatar: Nothing's taking me away from you again. Not even death.

 * Avatar: Yikes! I'd better get outta here before I test that whole "not even death" promise... Bye, Noire! Love you!

 * Nah: And you have your own troubles to worry about with the amnesia and all, right? So why go all out of your way for me?

 * Gangrel: Avatar.
 * Avatar: Why the solemn face?
 * Gangrel: ...I was reflecting on times past.
 * Avatar: You mean, when you were king?
 * Gangrel: Yes... Thinking back, I realize that perhaps my rule was overly harsh. ...Wicked, even.
 * Avatar: That's fair. Perhaps a bit of an understatement, but...
 * Gangrel: Hah! Don't mince words, do you?
 * Avatar: It would be silly to deny it. We fought and overthrew you for that very reason.
 * Gangrel: I would expect a man of your caliber to say nothing else. But I had my reasons, you know. We were threatened by Valm and Walhart. But if I could somehow unite us...
 * Avatar: By "we," I assume you refer to Ylisse, Regna Ferox, and Plegia?
 * Gangrel: It was a desperate time. None of us knew how far Valm might go. But if I could subjugate the continent and build one mighty empire... Then maybe we could halt their advance. ...Or at least, that's how I saw it.
 * Avatar: Yours was a brutal reign that terrorized your subjects and your neighbors. An alliance built on intimidation and threats is doomed to failure from the beginning.
 * Gangrel: Don't lecture me, you arrogant whelp! I didn't say I was right! I was blinded by circumstances and unable to see any other way... Bah! Why am I explaining myself to you? What do you know of running a nation?!

 * Gangrel: A smug grin does not suit you, tactician! In my mad quest for strength, I unleashed horror upon thousands of innocents... How many have I killed? How many families did I rend apart? ...And for what? For nothing.
 * Avatar: I cannot argue. What you did is difficult to forgive, or forget...
 * Gangrel: How does it feel to be so untainted by mistakes that you can judge others?
 * Avatar: If you truly started a war to try and save your people, you should own the deed. Your time would be better spent on things besides self-pity.
 * Gangrel: Oh? Tell me, wise one, what "things" should I be doing?

 * Gangrel: Bwa ha ha! And you know who we have to thank for it? YOU! You and your barbed words that finally goaded me into action!
 * Avatar: Glad to be of service... But that does remind me of something...
 * Gangrel: What might that be?
 * Avatar: You once worshipped Grima, correct? As a member of the Grimleal?
 * Gangrel: Pah, those wrinkled old warts with their dusty tomes? I was Grimleal in name only. Course, it was the faith of the realm, so I knew most of its rituals.
 * Avatar: Religion can be a powerful tool for uniting people behind a single cause. I wager Aversa used it to convince your subjects to take up arms?
 * Gangrel: ...Perhaps. But in the end, I'd say she used me as much as anyone.
 * Avatar: And what did the people of Plegia really think of the faith?
 * Gangrel: Think? Ha! They DIDN'T think! Between my iron-fisted rule and Aversa's inquisitions, they had no choice about it. ...But as I said, it was a cruel time.
 * Avatar: Your people were cowed by your political might, but the temples offered solace...
 * Gangrel: Ah, yes. The solace of the damned.
 * Avatar: Thank you, Gangrel.
 * Gangrel: Hmm? What for?
 * Avatar: We can't help the people of Plegia if we don't understand their situation. Our cause is simple—to save this world and all the people in it. And that includes the poor wretches of Plegia who remain in the thrall of Grima.
 * Gangrel: ...You are an odd one. Plegia has given you hardship and horror, and yet you would fight to save us. I'm almost impressed.
 * Avatar: Now is not the time for recriminations or revenge. If we are to save the world, we must band together with every willing soul. We must be prepared to offer forgiveness.
 * Gangrel: Gwa ha ha! I see it's not just barbs on your tongue, but honey as well! You are right. There'll be time aplenty for judgment in the next life.
 * Avatar: Exactly.
 * Gangrel: If I want to right past wrongs, how better than to save my own people? Gangrel will return, not as a tyrant, but as a liberator!

 * Avatar: Are you here all by yourself, Walhart?
 * Walhart: Hmph.
 * Avatar: ...*Cough* *Ahem* Well, since we're allies now, I was thinking we might talk... ...Um, yes. Of course, if it's too much trouble, I could just leave you be...
 * Walhart: We shall talk if you wish it, tactician. Let us discuss military matters. In your opinion, what is the key element needed to secure victory?
 * Avatar: Oh! I wasn't expecting a quiz! Ha ha ha... Er, ha.
 * Walhart: I will have your answer now. A strategist should already have an opinion on such a fundamental question.
 * Avatar: Yes, you're right, of course... Well, I'd say fostering the bonds between soldiers is most important.
 * Walhart: A tepid answer more suited to mewling babes than men of combat! The key to victory is power, tactician. Overwhelming power.
 * Avatar: I see.
 * Walhart: Power to smash your enemies. Power to subjugate their people. Or, if necessary, the power to wipe them both out entirely.
 * Avatar: But victory gained through might alone often brings insurrection in its wake. It sows discontent and discord, which become the seeds of a new war.
 * Walhart: If discord arises, it only means you had insufficient power in the first place. With truly overwhelming might, such trivial obstacles can be brushed aside. But then you think "bonds" matter. I do not expect you to understand such things.
 * Avatar: To a man such as yourself, my method seems ludicrous. I understand that. But you will soon see for yourself the importance of unit cohesion, of bonds. You are one of us now—a member of the Shepherds and a comrade-in-arms.
 * Walhart: I am none of these things. I am a wraith set loose to destroy all who block the path. ...But I admit, your thinking intrigues me. We will meet again and continue this.

 * Walhart: Greetings, tactician.
 * Avatar: Hello, Walhart.
 * Walhart: Have you thought about our discussion? Do you see now the error in your thinking? Surely you know now that bonds of friendship are irrelevant to victory.
 * Avatar: No. I believe in them more than ever.
 * Walhart: Hmph. Then I am wasting my breath. Overwhelming power is the only thing that will enable men to build true peace!
 * Avatar: True peace?
 * Walhart: One that is unshakable and invulnerable. One that lasts for all eternity. If we are to eradicate war, we must destroy all borders. Tear down the nation-state. Eradicate all notion of religion. Bring everything under one rule, and we can stamp out the strife that fuels war.
 * Avatar: Hmm... Perhaps your vision has merit.
 * Walhart: Of course it does. Think of the possibilities! With my might and your tactical mind, we could conquer this world. Through sheer strength of mind, steel, and will, we would make it whole.
 * Avatar: War on that scale would inflict death and suffering on uncountable innocents. I could not be party to such horror, no matter how noble the goal.
 * Walhart: Think bigger! If we were to succeed, we would eliminate all future wars! What is the sacrifice of even a million people if it builds a golden eternal future? What are they when weighed against peace and safety for generations to come?
 * Avatar: But war is not a matter of numbers and balances!
 * Walhart: And I say it is! You do not display the same distaste for war when it comes to slaying your enemies. Your cunning killed many of my men. Where were your qualms then? ...Yes, exactly. You had no qualms, for you valued those lives less than others. THAT is the matter of numbers and balances, tactician! THAT is war! We are the same, you and I, even if you would pretend otherwise.
 * Avatar: N-no, that's not...
 * Walhart: Think, tactician! Look at what you do. You cannot save everyone. No man can! So you place every life on the balance, and like a god, you decide. "This man here shall live..." "This man here shall die...". Someday, you will learn this truth: might rules, or nothing does. ...We shall talk of this again. Until then, farewell.

 * Walhart: You hem and haw like an old maid. I thought you more decisive than this!
 * Avatar: I have considered your arguments carefully, and they have a compelling logic. Nevertheless, I cannot agree. The world you paint leaves no room for human compassion or feeling. People are merely values arrayed on a playing field.
 * Walhart: You speak of my willingness to sacrifice the few for the greater good. I concede my approach is ruthless and calculating. But so is the battlefield.
 * Avatar: We cannot allow ourselves the luxury of denying our own humanity! Yes, it would be easy to treat deaths like so many numbers on a balance... But the loss of even one life is a terrible tragedy—an enormity beyond reckoning. We are meant to save people, and that is what we must do. We fight alongside friends. Stout allies. Stalwart comrades. A world without such friendship is no world I want, no matter how safe it may be. ...I am sorry. But on this matter, I will not change my mind.
 * Walhart: Well, well. A rousing speech indeed... We shall do it your way.
 * Avatar: ...You changed your mind, just like that?
 * Walhart: YOU defeated ME, tactician! Remember? Clearly, yours is the truer path. You have proven yourself the mightier, and therefore I must bend to your will. It is a simple matter.
 * Avatar: But...then why did you argue?
 * Walhart: Because I wanted to test the strength of your convictions. As long as your belief is firm, I will follow the path you set. But if those convictions waver? If your beliefs are beset with doubt? Then Walhart will again rise up and demand his voice be heard!
 * Avatar: The code you hold to is shocking in its intensity, Walhart. But in time, I truly believe you will come to accept the wisdom of my way.
 * Walhart: I will march by your side and grant my all to your cause. Let us see if you have the strength to change my mind!

 * Avatar: A ghost? Yes, perhaps so... But do you not carry any memories imprinted in your soul? Can you not tell me of wars fought, dynasts lost, missions accomplished?
 * Yen'fay: ...Yes. I had a mission once. I swore to protect a grave.
 * Avatar: A grave?
 * Yen'fay: The grave of my beloved sister, she who died for my foolishness.
 * Avatar: ...I'm sorry. I don't mean to remind you of painful events.
 * Yen'fay: The deeds are done—it is only right I pay the price for them. In any case, you need not concern yourself with my feelings. I care for nothing. I yearn only for the day when I, too, can crawl into my tomb.
 * Avatar: Yen'fay, you mustn't think like that! You've traveled to the past, and now fate is in your hands. With our help, you can change the future of the world!
 * Yen'fay: Like a ballad song to an empty theater, your exhortations are wasted on me. ...There is no fertile ground here for your kindness to take root. My heart is barren.

 * Yen'fay: HAH! YAH!
 * Avatar: Yen'fay, are you still practicing?
 * Yen'fay: Yes, Avatar. Practicing and thinking. Perhaps I can use this unwanted lease on life in the service of you and your allies.
 * Avatar: That is a fine thought, and we're grateful, but you must allow yourself rest. You've been on the training ground since daybreak.
 * Yen'fay: To grow strong, it is necessary. The pain felt by this vessel of flesh is nothing to me. If I can make it serve a greater cause, then for a short time my soul might know peace.
 * Avatar: ......You did more than just protect graves, didn't you, Yen'fay?
 * Yen'fay: How do you mean?
 * Avatar: I mean, you don't seem the type to waste his talent on such a duty. You're the kind of man who always tries to aid others, even in a benighted future.
 * Yen'fay: Avatar, you are perceptive indeed. Yes, I defended villagers and farmers from the Risen—or at least, I tried. Dead though my soul was, the corporeal flesh still demanded daily sustenance. I was no hero, but a sellsword taking bread from any who couldn't fight themselves.
 * Avatar: Come now! Surely you fought for more than a handful of coin... Was it because you couldn't bear to ignore the plight of the innocent?
 * Yen'fay: You overestimate me. Back then, I barely had the will to live, let alone save others.
 * Avatar: If you say so, perhaps. But I believe you're better than that. You're still fighting to help people, just as you always have.
 * Yen'fay: It seems you're hell-bent on thinking the best of me, no matter what I say.
 * Avatar: I can be stubborn that way. But we can continue this another time. Until then, farewell.

 * Avatar: Yen'fay? What are you doing so far away from the camp?
 * Yen'fay: This frivolities and easy conversations of camp are distractions I must avoid. I dedicated myself to becoming stronger. Until then I pledge not a moment's respite.Say'ri died because of me. Such a thing must never happen twice.
 * Avatar: You speak of Say'ri in the future.
 * Yen'fay: Yes. Sweet, innocent Say'ri, cursed with a coward of a brother who let her die. I loved her more than anything—yet even so, I did not save her. I am disgraced.
 * Avatar: ...... Tell me this Yen'fay. Say'ri of the future loved you as you loved her, yes?
 * Yen'fay: I believe it so.
 * Avatar: Then if she could speak to you now, you know exactly what she'd say. She'd tell you to keep living. To forgive yourself. To find what joy you can.
 * Yen'fay: She was the kindest person I ever knew. Everything she did was for me. I loved her—I STILL love her—with all that remains in my heart...
 * Avatar: Then you owe it to her to not give up.
 * Yen'fay: ...Yes. Of course you are right. If she saw me wallowing in self-pity, what a scolding she would deliver!
 * Avatar: It's high time you picked yourself up, dusted off, and started living again. In your future, Say'ri is gone...I can only guess at the pain that must bring. But here in the present, you have countless comrades who need you.
 * Yen'fay: You speak the truth, Avatar. How selfish I have been. I have become a burden when I should have been acting as relief.
 * Avatar: You are a stalwart ally, Yen'fay. I only want you to open your eyes.
 * Ye​n'fay: Rest assured, you've pried them open. I see the truth at last.
 * Avatar: Excellent. Now, why don't you come back to the camp with me?
 * Yen'fay: Yes. It is high time I took my proper place in the ranks of this army. Thank you, Avatar...my friend.

 * Avatar: What?! No! I was just seeing what you were...doing.

 * Aversa: Trusting AND stupid! Oh, but what a delightful combination. Your friends would sooner slit their throats than break read with me, little man. Or have you forgotten how many times I tried to take their lives?
 * Avatar: No, we all remember that quite well. But you're here now, so... Look, you're going to have to break the ice sometime. Might as well be tonight.

 * Aversa: What? That we could be friends? That we might share secrets and giggle long after dark like idiot schoolgirls?
 * Avatar: No! I just thought you might like to sleep at camp instead of out in the woods.
 * Aversa: So you can slit my throat in the night?
 * Avatar: No one's slitting anyone's throat!
 * Aversa: My, my. my, SUCH a gentleman. Truly, you are your father's son.
 * Avatar: ...Don't say that.
 * Aversa: Oh, please. Don't deny it. Not to me. We're FAMILY, after all!
 * Avatar: We are NOT family! You're adopted! And I didn't even know my family!
 * Aversa: What a convoluted family tree we make! More like a tangled shrub, in fact. I'm older than you, and yet I was adopted AFTER your birth. Hmm... I suppose in a way that makes you my older brother? How delightful!

 * Aversa: I...
 * Avatar: What is it?
 * Aversa: I've been thinking... I really don't have a place in this world. I was played for a fool by my father. Now I fight for my former enemies... I'm a slack-eyed puppet that dances to music everyone but me can hear.
 * Avatar: No you're not. You're Aversa.
 * Aversa: That's just a name.
 * Avatar: Yes, but it's yours! You know where you come form and who you are. I don't have that. Hell, I don't even have my memories to help me. I came into this world without friends or family, but now I have both. The Shepherds gave me a new chance, and they can do the same for you. You just have to trust them.

 * Priam: Ah, Avatar. Perfect timing.
 * Avatar: Hmm?
 * Priam: I was just about to go look for you. I am prepared to pass along all I know of fighting to you!
 * Avatar: Er, you are? Well, fantastic! I'm sure anything you have to say would be tremendously helpful.
 * Priam: As this army's tactician, you hold it's fate in your hands. If knowledge I've amassed can be of use, I'm pleased to help.
 * Avatar: Then I humbly accept your offer.
 * Priam: Right, then! Let us begin. First, all strength stems from a warrior's breathing.
 * Avatar: Oh?
 * Priam: By drawing in the ambient energies that permeate the air, we gain their strength. Therein lies the origin of a fighter's ability and the determinant to how far they'll go. So, if the breath is the source of all strength, what out a warrior do?
 * Avatar: Um... Seek out the purest air possible?
 * Priam: Indeed! Air quality is of critical importance when training. This is why warriors have labored in deep woods and waterfalls for ages.
 * Avatar: I didn't expect you to be quite so...intense. This is pretty hard stuff.
 * Priam: You want intense? Let's talk about my first training expedition into the woods. I was but a boy, 11 or 12 perhaps, and I was attacked by a ferocious bear!
 * Avatar: A bear attacked you when you were 12?!
 * Priam: It did.
 * Avatar: So...did you defeat it?
 * Priam: A foolish question! how else would I be telling you this blistering tale if I hadn't?!
 * Avatar: ...Oh. Um, right.
 * Priam: I owe my victory to the crisp mountain air. With every breath, I drew into me the very spirit of the woods. The sighs of the trees ages old whorled about me just waited to be utilized! And as I breathed deep, I began to refine that energy. To temper it...
 * Avatar: It's really something seeing you quite so excited... You're usually so quiet. But, er, is there an end to this story? ...In the near future?

 * Avatar: Hmm, nothing else to take care of... Why don't I sharpen some weapons? Everyone seems to take care of their own gear, but it can't hurt to check. Some of these swords lose their edge if you so much as look at them cross eyed!
 * Priam: For all its hardened wood and metal, a sword is a delicate thing!
 * Avatar: WHA—?! ...Priam? I didn't see you there!
 * Priam: An elegant blade! A spear tip hewn to a razor point! They're strong enough to take a life, but exquisitely fragile at the same time. A warrior's life extends no further than that of the weapon he wields. Fail to perform maintenance, and it may well cost you...EVERYTHING!
 * Avatar: Sounds like something you might say... A stern maxim to live by, but fair.
 * Priam: Ideally, a weapon should never be handled save by the one who wields it.
 * Avatar: Er, so I shouldn't help the others maintain their equipment?
 * Priam: I mean only that creating and tending to a weapon aids in growing accustomed to it. To claim as one's own a weapon made and honed by another is folly!
 * Avatar: Doesn't it seem a bit much to have an entire army learning smithing?
 * Priam: It is only an ideal. I would never presume to force my methods on anyone else. But a man must have a code, and this is mine!
 * Avatar: Wow, Priam. Anything about war and weapons and you get worked up. I had you pegged as the strong, silent type, but you're actually quite passionate. (Though I might've preferred the strong-and-silent version, emphasis on silent...)
 * Priam: Hmm? What was that?
 * Avatar: ...Nothing at all.

 * Priam: How else would I convey to you my thoughts on food and its role in war?
 * Avatar: ...Oh boy. You've got a philosophy of eating, too?
 * Priam: Of course! Food is another cornerstone of a warrior's physical and mental training. The act of eating is to take the life of other beings and make it into one's own flesh. That's why wasting food is a crime on par with murder itself! We should eat with an awareness of the sacrifices of others and a spirit of thanks.
 * Avatar: Awfully talkative again today, aren't we, Priam? (...Now where did I put that cotton for my ears...?)

 * Priam: ...I have been talking your ears blue, haven't I? Apologies. When I speak on matters of combat, I tend to lose track of time. Honestly, I think hanging around you people is starting to influence me! I just hope it's for the better. I'd hate to think I was getting soft.
 * Avatar: Oh, I don't think you need to worry. Just the fact that you ARE worried is the best proof of why you don't need to. You're as tough—and tough on yourself—as ever. I guarantee it.
 * Priam: A guarantee from you is a serious thing indeed.
 * Avatar: I do feel you've grown a bit...kinder. Even gentler, perhaps. But this is not a bad thing. In fact, it's helped our army. For example, passing along your wisdom to me was an act born of kindness, no?
 * Priam: Well, I suppose I did want to feel I was doing all I could to help everyone...
 * Avatar: It makes me all the more eager to learn how I might follow in your footsteps.
 * Priam: Heh, fair enough! Then I'll continue to teach you everything I know. If you think you can handle it, that is?
 * Avatar: Of course! Only maybe we could take it in smaller—
 * Priam: In that case, back to food! To consume a meal is to consume the very souls of everything on your plate.
 * Avatar: (Oof, this one's gonna be long... I can feel it in my bones.)
 * Priam: Just as the wheel of reincarnation turns every onward, crushing all in its path... With each passing meal, muscle builds on food and passes on a new soul. Each shares in your flesh and becomes part of your spirit! And in turn...
