  • Vaike: Eh? Me? Up to? Nothin'! Har har! Yessir, just a whooole lot of nothin'. Oh, lookie there! Pretty flowers! I sure do love me a pretty flower, don't you? Yep! Love 'em. All of 'em! ...Say, what's your favorite flower, Avatar?
  • Avatar: ...Okay, now I KNOW you're up to something.
  • Vaike: Har har! Nope, not me! Just lookin' at all them pretty flowers is all. Nice, ain't they?
  • Avatar: Liar. You're trying to see who's bathing in the spring over there.
  • Vaike: S-spring? There's a spring? Why, I had NO idea!
  • Avatar: Don't play dumb with me, Vaike! Now stop leering and get back to camp.
  • Vaike: Aw, come on now! You're a man! You know how it is! Don't you ever—
  • Avatar: No. I don't... Thank the gods.
  • Vaike: Right little goody two-shoes, ain't ya? Interrupting my fun just when... Oh, fine. Guess I'm done lookin' at flowers. But don't think you can keep me— Huh? What's that?
  • Avatar: That's Sully's horse isn't it? Gods, but it's a fierce-looking brute. Do you see how it's glaring at us? It's almost as if it thinks...
  • Vaike: IT'S GONNA CHARGE! RUN! RUN FOR YOUR LIIIIIIIFE!

  • Vaike: Har! It's the Vaike's lucky day! Sully's horse is dozin' away, and that meddling little—
  • Avatar: Meddling little...what?
  • Vaike: Blast! You again? Er, I mean... Oh, look! A four-leaf clover! Lucky me!
  • Avatar: For that lie to work, you actually need to have a four-leaf clover. You were spying on bathing women again, weren't you?! Don't deny it!
  • Vaike: I DO deny it! ...Besides, what are YOU doing skulkin' around the bushes?
  • Avatar: I was collecting elderberries. For tea. Not that it's any concern of yours! Now keep your voice down! You might wake Sully's devil steed.
  • Vaike: What do you care if it wakes? I'm the one he's got it in for.
  • Avatar: Not any more, thanks to you! Ever since that time I caught you snooping, the beast has made me its sworn enemy. If I get within half a league, it's after me like a hound from hell!
  • Vaike: Har har! So the beast has the evil eye for Lord Goody Two-Shoes himself? There's a word for that... What is it... Tip of my tongue... Oh, I know! ...IRONIC! HAR HAR!
  • Avatar: Frankly, being tarred with the same brush as you is punishment enough. In any case, neither of us want to be here if that horse wakes up. Come on, let's get back to camp.
  • Vaike: ...Curses, I truly thought today was going to be Vaike's lucky... Wait. That evil horse—it's gone!
  • Avatar: V-Vaike... D-don't turn around... It's right...behind you...
  • Vaike: It's...b-behind me? ARRRRRRRRRRRRGH! RUUUUUUUN! FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT'S GOOD AND HOLY, RUUUUUUUUUUUUN!

  • Avatar: Hey, Vaike. Why the long face?
  • Vaike: ...Oh. Hello, Avatar. So, uh...I've been thinkin'. The Vaike's caused ya a lot of grief. I feel bad about it.
  • Avatar: It's not like you to be so introspective. Why does it worry me...
  • 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 even call it... Oh, what's the word? Ah, yes: ironic! In any case, can we please assume 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 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 on your thinkin' cap and brew up some kinda revenge scheme, okay? Maybe some way to dump puddin' on their heads or somethin'.
  • Avatar: Pudding, Vaike? Honestly?

  • Chrom: All right, everyone! Let's pair off and try some one-on-one sparring.
  • Vaike: Oh-hoh! You ready to take on Teach, Chrom?
  • Chrom: Vaike, maybe we should find new partners. Just to keep things fresh.
  • Vaike: Pshaw! We're rivals. We have to fight! Ya can't turn your back on fate! ...Plus, I was really close to beatin' ya last time. Really, REALLY close.
  • Chrom: Er, right. If you say so. But still, I think we should—
  • Vaike: No, it's fine. I know what you're doing. You're trying to psyche me out!
  • Chrom: Oh, come on! If we don't mix it up, we'll never keep ourselves sharp.
  • Vaike: ...Oh, I see. Not enough suspense for ya, is that it? Then let's spice it up with a little wager! Everything we own—winner takes all!
  • Chrom: ...Vaike? We're training for war. I can't very well gamble with the royal treasury.
  • Vaike: Fine, fine! No gold. But how about this... The loser has to sneak up behind Frederick and pull down his pantaloons!
  • Chrom: ...Are you mad? Frederick would chop you up like firewood! And then make a fire!
  • Vaike: What's this now? Is someone...chicken? Ba-KAWK bawk bawk bawk bawk—
  • Chrom: Oh, ALL RIGHT! I'll spar with you! ...Just stop that ridiculous clucking.
  • Vaike: Har har! Yes! Now Chrom's got a full head of steam! Show 'ol Teach what ya got!

  • Vaike: It's fightin' time, Chrom!
  • Chrom: Very well. But on one condition...
  • Vaike: Condition? It's not like you to ask for a handicap...
  • Chrom: Nothing of the sort, Vaike. It's just that... Well, Lissa was pretty upset after our last duel. Poor girl was crying her eyes out. She said we were taking our sparring much too seriously. She made me promise to go easy and fight safe so neither of us gets hurt.
  • Vaike: Har har har! Yeah, that last clash was a real doozy. Good times, good times... But, uh, listen, Chrom. You're gonna have to explain this "fight safe" concept to me.
  • Chrom: I've been pondering that myself. Perhaps we could decide the winner...with a coin flip?
  • Vaike: Good gods, no! I don't want lady luck pickin' the winner. Not between us, anway. ...Hey, I got it! What say you and me have a good old-fashioned cooking contest?! You make something, I make something, and we'll see who comes out on top.
  • Chrom: Er, well, I suppose... Though I was seldom allowed in the castle kitchens growing up...
  • Vaike: Ah, you're right. Cookin' against royalty'd be like spearin' fish in a barrel. If I can't beat ya with honor, I got no interest in beatin' ya.
  • Chrom: Hold on now! ...I didn't say no. I've roasted my share of campfire boar and have heard no complaints...
  • Vaike: Har har! Then a cook-off it is! Get ready to taste my victory!

A Support

  • Chrom: Ready for another duel, Vaike?
  • Vaike: Naw, I'm bored with beating ya. We should fight other people.
  • Chrom: Wait. When exactly did you beat me?
  • Vaike: Hel-LO?! Remember the cookin' contest? Ol' Teach won that fair and square!
  • Chrom: How do you figure? When you ate my dish, you fell backward off the chair and passed out. that made me the winner by knockout! ...Or are you denying you collapsed?
  • Vaike: Kn-knockout?! You almost killed me with that slop you called goulash! I spent a week scrubbing the taste off my tongue! ...Look! Itsh shtill hurthz!
  • Chrom: You didn't say we had to make the BEST dish. You just said it was a cooking contest.
  • Vaike: B-but the whole point of a cooking contest is... Aw, forget it! Good gods, you really do hate losing, don't you?
  • Chrom: And you don't?
  • Vaike: ...Har har, yeah, I suppose you're right. We're birds of a feather, you and me. We love to compete. ...AND to win!
  • Chrom: Well then? Are you ready for your fellow bird to knock you out of the sky?
  • Vaike: Har! Bring it on, little man!

With Lissa

C Support

  • Vaike: Ogre's teeth! Where in blue blazes has Chrom gone to?! Say, Lissa! You ain't seen that brother of yours skulkin' around, have ya?
  • Lissa: If I had, I wouldn't tell YOU.
  • Vaike: Oh, come on! It's nothin' serious! Why ya gotta take his side all the time?
  • Lissa: Because he's my brother and I know you just want to hit him with something! Gods, you're like children, the both of you.
  • Vaike: I could try explainin' it, but you wouldn't understand. It's a warrior thing.
  • Lissa: More like an idiot thing. You know, there ARE other ways to communicate! Besides bopping each other on the head with blunt axes, I mean.
  • Vaike: Look, Lissa. The Vaike doesn't hate your bro. Heck, I like him! Most of the time... But we've gotta fight! Fate made us rivals, and who are we to deny fate?
  • Lissa: Oh now, that is just absurd. So why, exactly, are you rivals?
  • Vaike: Huh? Well, you know... Stuff.
  • Lissa: No, I don't know! I think you have a grudge against Chrom, and that's all there is to it.
  • Vaike: A grudge? No way! I RESPECT the man! He's the greatest warrior in the realm. But if you wanna be the very best, ya gotta beat the very best...
  • Lissa: Ah-ha!
  • Vaike: But don't go tellin' him I said that! If he knew I was praisin' him, I'd never hear the end of it every time we squared off!
  • Lissa: Tee hee, don't worry, Teach. I'll keep your little secret.

B Support

  • Lissa: Vaike? I asked Chrom about you, and do you know what he said? He said you're a great warrior and he's learning a lot from your duels.
  • Vaike: Bah! He's just trying to soften up ol' Teach.
  • Lissa: Er, but didn't you say pretty much the same thing about him the other day?
  • Vaike: Keep your voice down! I told ya, that's between you and me.
  • Lissa: Riiiight. How silly of me.
  • Vaike: Did ya know that Chrom once put on a disguise and came to my little town? Never let on 'bout who he was, even when my axe took a...dislikin' to him. I used to thing royals were nothin' but puffed-up blowhards. Stick a pin in their silk-covered hides and woosh! ...All the air runs out of 'em. But that brother of yours... He changed my mind.
  • Lissa: People are always reminding Chrom that he's royalty... He tends to forget.
  • Vaike: I've dealt with a lot of fool ignorance since I joined the Shepherds. People are always askin' who I think I am, a commoner lording it up with princes. I've had it from low-born and high-born alike... But never Chrom. It's like he doesn't care where I'm from, so long as I handle myself in a fight.
  • Lissa: Vaike, behind all the bluster, I think you may love Chrom more than any of us.
  • Vaike: Hey, don't go puttin' words in my mouth! And not a word of this to Chrom either! ...'Specially not that lovey-dovey part.
  • Lissa: My, so many secrets we're sharing these days, tee hee...
  • Vaike: One of these days, the Vaike needs to learn to keep is big yap shut.
  • Lissa: Oh, don't be silly. I'm actually tickled you trust me. Just promise you'll try to get along with my brother, all right?
  • Vaike: All right...but AFTER I beat him!

  • Lissa: *Slurp chomp* So then Chrom, he... *chomp, chomp* *snort* So he said...
  • Vaike: Look, either you should eat or you should talk. ...Actually, just eat, would you?
  • Lissa: Okay, I'll... *chomp, chomp* *slurp*
  • Vaike: You really think that brother of yours is the bee's knees, don't you?
  • Lissa: *Schnorf slurp* Look who's talking! *Crunch* *chomp*
  • Vaike: Cripes, why did I ever buy you that blasted mince pie in the first place...
  • Lissa: Blackmail, remember? You know I'm terrible at keeping secrets when I'm hungry.
  • Vaike: This is a fool bit of business, and no denyin'... Still, the more I hear your stories about Chrom, the more I admire him.
  • Lissa: I'm SO proud of him... He's done so much for our people...and for me. I feel like anything I've accomplished I owe to him in one way or another.
  • Vaike: Aw, what are you talkin' about? You expect ol' Teach to believe that?
  • Lissa: Oh, don't mind me. I'm just blabbering.
  • Vaike: Way I see it, you got lots to be proud of. I mean, 'sides your brother.
  • Lissa: Do you really think so?
  • Vaike: As sure as my name is Vaike the Mighty! Ya never back down from a challenge, and you're not all snooty like most royal folk. You're nice, and kind, and as beautiful as a goddess! Gods strike me down if it ain't the truth! You got plenty to be proud of!
  • Lissa: Vaike, that's... Well, thank you. Even if it was a total exaggeration.
  • Vaike: No japin'! You're all that and more! There's just so much good in ya.
  • Lissa: Goodness... W-well, I suppose I could say the same of you, couldn't I? All that talk about fighting my brother? About being rivals? I know it's all just bluster. You don't want anyone to know what a kind, considerate, and wonderful man you are!
  • Vaike: Aw, shucks... You're gonna make the Vaike blush...

S Support

  • Vaike: Hey, Lissa? Ya seen Chrom around?
  • Lissa: You're not looking to duel him again, are you? Because I thought we—
  • Vaike: No, no! Not that! It's just... Well, it kinda concerns you, actually.
  • Lissa: Oh?
  • Vaike: See, I been thinkin' and... Well, I was wondering if... Aw, horsefeathers. I'm no good at this! So what I'm tryin' to say is... Would ya do me the honor of wearin' this?
  • Lissa: ...Is that...is that an engagement ring?!
  • Vaike: I had the town armorer craft it special. I know it ain't much, 'specially for a royal... But I ain't a rich man, and so this was really all I could—
  • Lissa: You know that if we wed, Chrom will be your brother in name, yes? That means no more talk of duels and rivals. Got it?
  • Vaike: Aw, nuts to that! I love ya, Lissa! I love ya so much it hurts! But Chrom and me are rivals, and it'll take more than a weddin' to change it!
  • Lissa: TRULY?! Gods, you are simply the most stubborn, willful... brave, and strong, and charming man I have ever known. Yes, Vaike. Yes! I accept!
  • Vaike: Aw, Lissa, you've made the Vaike's day! Week! Year! Lifetime!
  • Lissa: We should go tell my brother the good news. I'm sure he'll be suprised!
  • Vaike: That's why I was lookin' for him. ...Figured I should get his blessin'.
  • Lissa: Well, then. Shall we look together?
  • Vaike: Yeah, together! After you, Mrs. the Vaike!

  • Vaike: Sweet ogre pie, that was well evaded! You're a quick little bugger.
  • Lon'qu: Idiot! You nearly removed my head.
  • Vaike: Now, now. Don't get you're smallclothes in a twist. I was just testin' ya, is all.
  • Lon'qu: Testing me?
  • Vaike: That's right. And you'll be pleased to know, you've met—nay, exceeded expectations! You can be my squire and pupil, and I'll see if I can't make a real warrior outta ya.
  • Lon'qu: I'm going to assume this is just an elaborate joke.
  • Vaike: C'mon, whaddya say? You can be my right-hand man!
  • Lon'qu: ...Gods, he's serious. I have no desire to be your pupil, fool!
  • Vaike: Sure ya do! Everyone does! No need to play hard to get.
  • Lon'qu: Such persistence! ...Very well. If you defeat me,I'll consider it.
  • Vaike: But you haven't had any trainin' yet! It wouldn't be fair.
  • Lon'qu: Where I'm from, strength is the only law that matters.
  • Vaike: Well, I guess that's simple enough. All right, then! Are ya ready?
  • Lon'qu: Always.

B Support

  • Vaike: So this is where you're hidin', Lon'qu! You and me need to have another fight!
  • Lon'qu: I will give you as many as it takes.
  • Vaike: Don't get cocky on me, now! I've been practicin' since the last one. This time I'll thump ya good, and then you'll have to be my squire!
  • Lon'qu: I have no doubt you have become stronger and more adept. But I have not been sitting idly by. I, too, have grown stronger.
  • Vaike: Really? Oh. Well, damn. So how about this? Let's have you stop trainin' for, say, three days. That'll give me a chance to catch up and make it a fair fight!
  • Lon'qu: If strength is the only law, then tell me why I would do such a thing.
  • Vaike: Well, because...I have a dream. And I need someone like you to make it come true.
  • Lon'qu: ...A dream?
  • Vaike: Why, yes! Glad ya asked! See, what I wanna do is—
  • Lon'qu: Enough! I care only for two things: the strength of your arm and the mettle of your blade.
  • Vaike: Sooo, that's a yes then?
  • Lon'qu: If it's a fight you want, then a fight you shall have! Begin!

A Support

  • Vaike: Lon'qu! This time I'm ready for ya, and no mistake!
  • Lon'qu: After your last showing, I thought you'd be finished with duels. How many times must I defeat you before you admit failure?
  • Vaike: I ain't a man who gives up a dream because of a setback! ...Or, uh, two.
  • Lon'qu: Surely there are other candidates to be your protégé? Perhaps you can even defeat some of them.
  • Vaike: Graaagh! No, no, and no again! It has to be you, and none other! It ain't just your skill with the blade. It's the way ya fight in battle. You've got fire in ya! A warrior's passion!
  • Lon'qu: I don't—
  • Vaike: I need that passion to fuel my dream. That's the only way it'll come true.
  • Lon'qu: You seem to possess more than enough passion yourself.
  • Vaike: See, that's EXACTLY my point! We birds of a feather gotta stand together! I light the fuse, you provide the fuel, and then we kick heinie all over!
  • Lon'qu: Perhaps you have a point.
  • Vaike: Of course I do!
  • Lon'qu: But we must be equals. I refuse to function as either pupil or squire.
  • Vaike: Partners, eh? Sounds good to me!
  • Lon'qu: Then why didn't you say so sooner? BEFORE we had all those fights?!
  • Vaike: I dunno. Guess it never occurred to me. Anyway, ya wanna hear my dream?
  • Lon'qu: No. So long as you can hold your own in combat, I shall be satisfied. Until the next battle...partner.

  • Maribelle: *Sigh*
  • Vaike: Uh-oh. Something troublin' ya there, Maribelle? Cares got ya down? You can tell ol' Teach all about it!
  • Maribelle: Oh, hello, Vaike...
  • Vaike: ...Wait, what? No fancy zinger? No swipes at your old friend Vaike? That ain't you at all! This must be some serious troubles, eh?
  • Maribelle: ......
  • Vaike: Aw, come on, Maribelle. What is it?
  • Maribelle: Vaike? Am I a...snob?
  • Vaike: ...Is THAT what you're worried about? That kinda talk never seemed to bother you before. Why now?
  • Maribelle: So I AM a snob! Oh, I knew it! I've been thinking a lot about myself and my behavior lately. And you know what? I'm a snob! A sad, inexcusable woman who is proud and vain beyond her station...
  • Vaike: Whoa, hold on now! Don't be hasty. I mean, sure, when ya first got here, ya wouldn't even look at us normal folk—
  • Maribelle: Yes, but you were all SO uncouth! What with the stench of the slum about you.
  • Vaike: Now, see, there it is again. And just when I was startin' to think better of ya.
  • Maribelle: Better of...me?
  • Vaike: Today's the first time I've ever heard ya even consider you might be wrong. Dummy that I am, I thought for a moment ya might be changin' ways... But I guess a tigress don't slip her stripes so easily, huh?

  • Maribelle: Vaike? Might I have a moment?
  • Vaike: Well, sure. What can I do ya for?
  • Maribelle: I was told that Chrom wagered his dessert on some game with you and lost. This simply will not do. Gambling in such times is beyond shameful!
  • Vaike: If there's shame in winning an apple fair and square, it's that it don't happen more often!
  • Maribelle: Enough! You've had your fun, but it simply is not done. Hand over the ill-gotten fruit.
  • Vaike: If ya want this apple, you'll have to earn it like I did—by rollin' the dice!
  • Maribelle: You wish me to gamble to show you that gambling is wrong? I believe you are missing the point...
  • Vaike: Well, all right. If you're to hoity-toity to toss dice with ol' Teach, then...
  • Maribelle: I am NOT hoipy toipy... Hatty totty... Oh, FINE. Just give me the dice.
  • Vaike: Har har! That's the spirit! But first, ya gotta say what you're wagering.
  • Maribelle: Oh, whatever. It does not matter. Whatever you like.
  • Vaike: Oh? Whatever I want, I can have of you?

  • Vaike: Er, Maribelle? Milady? Would ya mind givin' this to Chrom?
  • Maribelle: An apple? But I lost our bet...
  • Vaike: Right, and that's why ya had to join me for a drink in a common alehouse. Our wager's settled. This is just me havin' a change of heart. Don't worry. It's fresh. I got it yesterday. Paid for it with my honest coin and everything.
  • Maribelle: Then am I to assume you have renounced your gambling ways?
  • Vaike: Well, I wouldn't go as far as to say that. Tomorrow's another day, eh?
  • Maribelle: Fair enough. Still, I must admit...it was quite interesting to dine with the masses. And I ended up with an apple as well... Perhaps by losing, I actually won out!
  • Vaike: Heh, you really didn't mind slumming it down with us common filth, eh?
  • Maribelle: It was an absolutely fascinating experience! All the smallfolk are each so very different... I didn't even mind the smell, after a time.
  • Vaike: Yeah, it didn't exactly go like I planned... I thought I'd teach you a lesson about how people take lookin' down your nose at 'em. But after ten minutes you had 'em all charmed. They loved you like a sister! Maybe you ain't such a snob after all.
  • Maribelle: Perhaps not, tee hee. Oh but you simply MUST take me there again sometime. Do promise me, Vaike!
  • Vaike: Uh...sure? I guess?
  • Maribelle: Splendid! It's a date. Now I must find Chrom and deliver his apple.

  • Maribelle: Now don't gulp it down like a drowning fish! Sip gently... Let the palate savor it... You did say you wanted to acquire noble manners, correct?
  • Vaike: Somethin' like that, yeah. I figured if you can get along with commoners, I can learn to like nobles.
  • Maribelle: Your commitment is admirable. Now, what shall we have you do next? Hmmm...
  • Vaike: Hey, what about—
  • Maribelle: Tsk! I won our last wager, remember? Next we do whatever I say.
  • Vaike: Ya know, for someone so against it, you sure got fond of gambling quick!
  • Maribelle: This isn't gambling! It only counts if one wagers money or valuables... Speaking of which, perhaps you'd care to show me that thing you've been hiding?
  • Vaike: Wh-what? You mean this ol' thing? Aw, it's just—
  • Maribelle: It's a ring, is it not?
  • Vaike: Yeah, it's a ring. I ordered it special. Actually, it's... It's f-for you. ...Milady. It's...an engagement ring... You've got a sharp tongue, sure, but things are never dull when you're around... And old Teach just hates it when things are dull! ...So I was thinkin' maybe—
  • Maribelle: *Ahem* Vaike, I have decided how you can settle your debt from our last wager.
  • Vaike: ...Yeah?
  • Maribelle: Give me that ring, and make me the happiest woman in all of the realm! You may have lost the bet, but you have won my heart.

  • Panne: If you desire the glory of the kill, you will have to move faster.
  • Vaike: This ain't about glory! When ya charge ahead like that, it puts us all in danger. We can't keep up, and then our formations start to break
  • Panne: I'll not be told when and where to fight by ignorant man-spawn! If my fighting style troubles you, you should look the other way.
  • Vaike: Pshaw! Not likely! Even if I wanted to, you're always in the thick of the action.

  • Panne: What now? Are you here to give me more unwanted battle orders? Don't worry, man-spawn. I'm staying as close to you as a mother to it's kit.
  • Vaike: Yeah, I know. And I appreciate it. Buuut... Maybe it'd be better if ya moved a little closer to the front lines. Fightin' at the rear ain't your style.
  • Panne: First you tell me to stay behind, and now you order me to advance? It's obvious now what your real desire is: you want us fighting shoulder to shoulder. I refuse. I don't trust you man-spawn one bit. This taguel fights alone.
  • Vaike: All right, I admit it. Ya got me. But I think we make a good team, and I wanted to keep ya close.
  • Panne: You humans are beyond trust.
  • Vaike: Look, I ain't the smartest guy in the room, and I don't know much about taguel folk. But I know about YOU. You're brave and straightforward and honest, and I like that. I reckon ya got more honor than most humans I've known put together. Back in the slum where I grew up, trust earned ya a blade in the back. So you're smart not to trust our lot. ...Leastwise that's how I see it.
  • Panne: Then why would I trust YOU?
  • Vaike: 'Cause there's a difference between trustin' a human and trustin' a friend. We shepherds all look after each other. ...Or ain't ya noticed?
  • Panne: I had sensed a...fellowship. Almost like a pack.
  • Vaike: Anyway, think it over, Panne. I've done enough preachin' for one day.

  • Panne: Vaike?
  • Vaike: Hold on. YOU wanna talk to ME? Ain't that a kick in the teeth! But before ya start, I gotta apologize for all my blather the other day.
  • Panne: No apology is necessary. For some reason, I...enjoy talking with you. But I enjoy fighting with you even more. I have learned much at your side.
  • Vaike: Har! They don't call me Teach for nothin'! And in truth, I appreciate the backup.
  • Panne: You should be more careful about diving into the midst of the foe.
  • Vaike: Har har! A tiger can't change his spots. Crazy Vaike, they used to call me!
  • Panne: Heh...
  • Vaike: Well slap my side and call me a drum. You CAN laugh! You should do it more often, ya know? It makes your whole face light up.
  • Panne: Now you mock me! I know I must seem strange and...ugly in your eyes.
  • Vaike: Ogre's teeth! Have you gone daft?! Taguel and humans both got beauty to spare! ...And maybe even a little ugly, too.
  • Panne: How can you be so blind to the gulf that exists between our races?
  • Vaike: I just see a woman who likes to imagine walls where there ain't none. Human, taguel, pixie, or troll: if yer loyal and true, we can be friends.
  • Panne: I wish I could believe that.

  • Vaike: Is it my imagination, or have we been seein' a lot of each other recently?
  • Panne: It is not your imagination. Whenever I have the opportunity, I try to be by your side. I am...comfortable with you somehow. It is a most extraordinary feeling.
  • Vaike: Ya actually like bein' with me? 'Cause I like havin' you around, too.
  • Panne: You remember our last talk? How you made me...laugh?
  • Vaike: Yeah, sure.
  • Panne: That was the first time I'd laughed since the massacre when I lost my friends. Sometimes I wondered if I would ever laugh again.
  • Vaike: Har har! You just stick with me! Ol' Teach is always good for a laugh. ...Aw, heck. I was meanin' to save this, but I suppose now's as good a time as any.
  • Panne: A...ring? This is for me?
  • Vaike: Yeah, well, I was thinkin' that you and me might kinda sorta...you know, get married? I know it's forward as all heck, but I think you and me make a really good team. You can keep me outta trouble, and I can help ya be happy again! ...Maybe?
  • Panne: You realize what you are saying, yes? A life with me will not be easy.
  • Vaike: You're talkin' to Crazy Vaike, remember? There ain't nothin' I can't handle!
  • Panne: Well, then... This Crazy Vaike sounds like a human I can trust. So yes. I accept your ring with all my heart. Thank you!

  • Vaike: Hey, that Avatar's a handsome lad/lass, and no denyin'. Soft, silky hair... Strong, bulging/Round, shapely—
  • Tharja: Gods, you men are all the same. Completely obsessed with appearances. My attraction to Avatar is something I experience on a higher plane. It's a meeting of the minds.
  • Vaike: Well, maybe you and me could meet minds! Folks say the Vaike is pretty spiritual.
  • Tharja: You'd need a mind before I could consider meeting it.

  • Tharja: If I catch you spying on me again, I'll turn you into a toad.
  • Vaike: Hey now! Ain't no need for those kinda threats!
  • Tharja: I don't make threats. I make promises. Besides, isn't that what you want?
  • Vaike: Turnin' into a toad? Are ya batty?!
  • Tharja: Nothing is more intimate than having a hex cast upon you. The spell creates a bond between the mage and victim—a resonance of souls. You WERE eager to connect with me on this level, were you not? And besides, being a toad might increase your intellectual capacity.
  • Vaike: Sweet, crispy goat haunch! I barely understand a thing you say! But ol' Teach thinks bein' a soul mate to a fine gal like you would be preeetty sweet.
  • Tharja: I'd have better luck being a soul mate with the gunk between your fingernails.
  • Vaike: Waaait. Are you implyin' I'm stupid? 'Cause if you are, you're WRONG!

  • Cherche: I met her when I wondered into Wyvern Valley.
  • Vaike: Blisterin' behemoths! You entered that chasm of horror ALONE? As a KID?!
  • Cherche: I wanted to have an adventure. Minerva was just a baby then, with the cutest round eyes!
  • Vaike: That's...kind of amazin'. Okay, so you brought her home, right? What then? Didja fight duels to get to know each other or what?
  • Cherche: Not exactly. I was training to be a cleric at the time and used a very heavy staff. Whenever she misbehaved, I'd just bonk her on the head. Soon she was meek as a bunny, and I was riding her to school.
  • Vaike: That musta been a handful for your teachers...
  • Cherche: Ever since then, Minerva and I have been simply inseparable. Oh, I forgot—I also apologized for bonking her on the head.

  • Vaike: Gods' beards! That's a huge house! I suppose I'll have to build it... But, uh, can it maybe wait until after the war?
  • Cherche: That should be fine. Oh, wait! Another thing...
  • Vaike: Monkey meat, there's MORE?! listen, I don't mind—
  • Cherche: Hee hee hee! I'm just joking, Vaike. ...About everything. As long as you promise to be kind to Minerva, that's all either of us needs.
  • Vaike: Well, that's a relief! I thought you were gonna make a pauper out of the Vaike! So will ya marry me, then?
  • Cherche: How could I possibly turn you down? Of course I will!
  • Vaike: Aw, ya just made me the happiest man in the realm! I can't wait to see Chrom's face when I tell him I'VE got the prettiest girl!
  • Cherche: Oh, Vaike. Minerva will be so pleased you said that about her!
  • Vaike: I wasn't talkin' about the wyvern...

  • Inigo: Ugh, Father! That gorgeous girl was just about to say yes to a date! JUST about to! Did you really have to drag me off like that?!
  • Vaike: We've got a battle to prepare for, Inigo! Everyone else is ready to march. If you're mad, be mad at yourself for losing track of time.
  • Inigo: Oh, heh heh heh... Whoops... All right, time to go trounce some enemies and find a village lass to reward my efforts!
  • Vaike: ......
  • Inigo: You're staring, Father. Is there something on my face?
  • Vaike: No. I was just wonderin' if you were like this in the future, too.
  • Inigo: Depends on what you mean by "like this," I suppose.
  • Vaike: For someone who came from an apocalyptic hellscape, you're awfully carefree. Seems like you haven't a care in the world past whose bed you'll be sharing tonight. Lucina's so driven and serious... It's strange you don't have any of that purpose.
  • Inigo: No purpose?! I'll have you know I'm EXTREMELY driven!
  • Vaike: Is that so? The Vaike is listening...
  • Inigo: Indeed! I will not rest until every woman in the realm swoons at just hearing my name!
  • Vaike: ...Your purpose in life is to be popular with girls? You literally traveled across time...to be popular with girls?!
  • Inigo: To be popular with ALL girls. Genius, I know. But stop, Father. You're making me blush.
  • Vaike: I'm at a loss for words!
  • Inigo: Why? It never bothered you when Mother would blush in front of you!
  • Vaike: No, that ain't the... Ahh, never mind. Talkin' with you is exhausting. I'm goin' on ahead.
  • Inigo: ...... ...Not a care in the world, eh? Not a thought in my head, he means! For being such a softy with everyone else, he sure doesn't pull any punches with me...

  • Inigo: Ow! This one's pretty bad. I can't go back to camp like this...
  • Vaike: Somethin' wrong, Inigo? Everyone else has already headed back.
  • Inigo: F-Father?! Er, I just...thought I saw a cute milkmaid at the edge of the battlefield!
  • Vaike: Hah! You're a worse liar than your mother! It's obvious your leg is wounded.
  • Inigo: It's fine, it's—GYAAAH! Ow! Ow, ow ow! No, don't touch it! Don't touch it!
  • Vaike: This is a serious injury, Inigo! Why didn't ya say somethin'?
  • Inigo: What, and ruin my reputation? The ladies want Inigo the Invincible.
  • Vaike: All right, that's ENOUGH!
  • Inigo: ...Father?
  • Vaike: You can barely walk, and you're still thinkin' about girls?! Be serious for once! Really, why did you travel back from the future? Lucina fights so hard, but you... Honestly, I'm disappointed. You got no idea what it means to be at war.
  • Inigo: ...... You don't know a damned thing! You're the one who's clueless, Father!
  • Vaike: Wh-what?
  • Inigo: Do you think I'd be out here if I were ONLY after girls? Out here fighting every day, wondering if this is the time I don't make it home?!
  • Vaike: Inigo, I didn't—
  • Inigo: You may think me a dandy and a fool, but a lot of people depended on me in the future. Every day, I was out there fighting Risen and risking my life. With everyone looking to me to be strong, I had no choice. I HAD to be invincible. I couldn't complain or show any weakness. Not with everyone else struggling in that damn war-torn wasteland... Even with you and Mother gone, I had to pretend I was fine. That I wasn't hurting. I had to fight every day of my sorry life and wear a smile while I did it!
  • Vaike: ......
  • Inigo: ...You said I looked like I didn't have a care in the world? Well, I'm sorry to tell you, but that's not the case at all. I smile and joke around because I don't want to show the world any weakness... If that disappoints you...then I guess you'll just have to be disappointed.
  • Vaike: Inigo, listen...
  • Inigo: That said, I do appreciate the concern... I'll get the leg looked at.
  • Vaike: ...... I... I had no idea...

  • Vaike: Inigo! I wanted to speak with you.
  • Inigo: Hey, Father! Here, have a look! My leg's all healed, see?
  • Vaike: Heck, that's great!
  • Inigo: Thanks for making me get it looked at. ...And...I'm sorry to have worried you.
  • Vaike: No, I'M sorry! For what I said. It was...insensitive... You've been fightin' with all you've got. I got no right to criticize you.
  • Inigo: Pfft, you still thinking about that? Ancient history. Plus...it was my fault, too.
  • Vaike: Still...
  • Inigo: Seriously, it's fine! Cheer up!
  • Vaike: Huh?
  • Inigo: You always seem so gloomy lately. Let's see a smile for once!
  • Vaike: Ah ha ha! Stop that! S-stop! It really tickles! Ha ha ha!
  • Inigo: Ha ha, there it is! That's better! I didn't come all this way to see you mope around, you know?
  • Vaike: ...That was why you came back? To make the Vaike happy?
  • Inigo: Well...yeah. You, and me, and everybody. The whole world, I guess. Anyway, I suppose I'm okay telling you that now.
  • Vaike: Hell, you can tell me anything!
  • Inigo: You say that now, but I don't want to hear any complaints once I get going! I may be all smiles on the outside, but I'm actually pretty sensitive. And pessimistic. ...Oh, and I cry at the drop of a hat. Whenever a girl turns me down, I'm a complete mess for days.
  • Vaike: Ha! You can stop kiddin' now, Inigo. I'm already smilin'.
  • Inigo: Oh, I'm not kidding... All the stuff about the girls—it was never part of the act.
  • Vaike: Hey, the Vaike loves the ladies, so I can't hold it against ya. You're a strong man, Inigo, and I couldn't be prouder of ya. But no one is invincible, and ya shouldn't pretend to be. If somethin's wrong, come to me. We'll figure it out together.
  • Inigo: Father... I knew you loved me, but... Oh, thank you!
  • Vaike: Waugh! N-neck! Inigo, my neck! Too tight! C-can't breathe!
  • Inigo: I-it's your own fault! I don't think you've ever said anything like that to me before! And listen—the same goes for you. Whatever the problem, I'll help. I'll be damned if I'm going to lose you twice.
  • Vaike: And I'll be damned if I'm ever gonna lose such a wonderful son!

  • Nah: *Sigh* Dealing with Mother is just so exasperating! All she ever does is play, play, play, as if she hasn't a care in the world!
  • Vaike: What's wrong, Nah? You seem pretty sour there.
  • Nah: Oh, hello, Father. I was just thinking about Mother again... How do you stand her>? Don't you find her incredibly childish? Annoying, even? She spends almost all of her time running around camp playing games.
  • Vaike: Weird. I was just thinkin' how the both of ya are so similar... But no, I don't find her annoyin'. It's who she is, and I don't expect her to change.
  • Nah: Tsk! Father, you're MUCH too kind. If you're always this tolerant, she'll never learn to act her age!
  • Vaike: Well, I...
  • Nah: What do you like about her, anyway? I have no idea what you see in her... Unless...you rushed into marriage for some reason? Like you got her—
  • Vaike: What?! D-don't be ridiculous! The Vaike knew exactly what he was gettin' into!
  • Nah: Oh? That's quite a protest there... I guessed right, didn't I?
  • Vaike: N-no! I was plenty aware of her frivolous side! I found it...charming. Yeah, that's it. Charming.
  • Nah: You know what, Father? I don't believe you one bit. Come now, spit it out. Why DID you marry her?
  • Vaike: Enough! Ya shouldn't be talkin' about your mother like this!

  • Nah: Father! Cornered you at last! It's time we finished our conversation.
  • Vaike: Nah, you're awfully persistent, but that discussion's over. I'm not gettin' into more detail about why I chose your mother, and that's final!
  • Nah: AWWWWWW. Why not?! A daughter simply MUST know how her parents fell in love! You don't understand how a woman's heart works. You're so CRUEL!
  • Vaike: Aren't you a little young to be worryin' about a "woman's heart," yourself?
  • Nah: ...Did you just mention my AGE?! Gods, forget what I said. It's a wonder any woman deigned to choose YOU...
  • Vaike: Hey, I know what you're tryin' to do here. But don't forget, I AM your father. Ya keep this up, I WILL get upset, and I WILL punish ya...
  • Nah: Eep! S-sorry, Father. I didn't mean to make you angry...I swear.
  • Vaike: All right, all right then. I appreciate the apology.
  • Nah: I've been selfish and unreasonable. Please find it in your heart to forgive me.
  • Vaike: Yeah, of course. But—
  • Nah: I guess I've wasted enough of your time. I'll just be...going now.
  • Vaike: No, wait.
  • Nah: Yes?
  • Vaike: Ya seem so crestfallen... You all right?
  • Nah: *Sigh* I suppose I'll just have to deal with the crushing disappointment, won't I? I mean, if my father is going to become so angry over a simple, innocent question...
  • Vaike: Um, yeah, well... See, it's just—
  • Nah: No, no. You don't have to explain. I'm used to dealing with hardship. Being spurned by my own father is just another drop in my bucket of torment. Hardly worth mentioning at all. Truly! ...Anyway, have a nice day.

  • Vaike: Nah...
  • Nah: Why, hello, Father. What can I do for you?
  • Vaike: About the other day, when ya said ya were used to disappointment... What exactly did ya mean by that?
  • Nah: Oh, that... I was talking about growing up in my foster home.
  • Vaike: What, ya mean Nowi wasn't around to raise ya?
  • Nah: No. I never knew either of my parents. I was sent to live with the family of one of my father's soldier friends. But my new family wasn't very welcoming to their semihuman-mongrel foster child.
  • Vaike: Don't say that.
  • Nah: I soon learned that I'd have to work hard to fit in and survive in my new home. I did chores before I was asked. I helped defend the house from marauding Risen. I thought that if I could make myself useful, they would stop...hating me. I mean, how could they resent a child that always helped and never asked for anything? But they never accepted me... I just learned to deal with disappointment. I had no friends. No one to talk to. ...I was utterly alone. And I never once mentioned how much I missed my father and mother. *Sniff* I...I didn't even ask...when...when would they come back for me...
  • Vaike: ...Nah, I...
  • Nah: Wh-when I arrived here, I wanted to find out everything I could about them. *sniff* Th-that's why I keep asking so many questions and making you angry...
  • Vaike: I'm sorry, Nah. I've been a real heel about this whole thing... I'll tell ya anythin' ya wanna know about your mother. ...Even how we fell in love. And if you're ever feeling lost or sad, I'll be right here for ya. As long as I'm around, ya won't ever be lonely again.
  • Nah: T-truly? Do you really mean it?! Oh, thank you, Father!
  • Vaike: Not at all, Nah. Now, tell me, what do ya wanna know?
  • Nah: Let's start with how you proposed to Mother! What'd you say? What'd you do?! I want to hear EVERYTHING, and don't leave out even the smallest detail!
  • Vaike: *Sigh* Well...as ya know, your mother's always looked real young, and...
