Florina: Azure-Sky Knight - C

Florina	Fiora! Farina!
Ah, there you are. I had heard that you’d been summoned to Askr. It’s good to see you, Sister.		Fiora
Farina	Hold on... There’s something different about you. You’re still tiny, but it’s like you’ve matured.
Y-you think so? I’m not sure I fully understand it myself...		Florina
Fiora	Nonetheless, it is plain for us to see. We are your family, after all. It’s clear that you’ve gained enough experience to be called a seasoned pegasus knight.
Oh... Thank you.		Florina
Farina	I always knew you’d outgrow that crybaby phase. It’s so rewarding to finally see my little sister grow up!
Er... Right! That was...just a phase... A-anyway, I’m so glad you’re safe and sound in Askr, Farina. I was afraid I’d never get to see you again...		Florina
Farina	Huh? What’s that supposed to mean?
When Fiora said you’d gone really far away, I thought... Well...		Florina
Farina	Hold on—Fiora, just what kind of crazy ideas are you putting in our poor sister’s head?!
Me? I can’t very well be held responsible for things I said in another world, now can I?		Fiora
Farina	Well, whatever. No use arguing over it now. I’m just glad we’re all—wait... Your bow is from Sacae, isn’t it?
Oh! Yes, that’s right. The Lorca tribe, to be exact—		Florina
Farina	I knew it! Let me guess, you ran off and got hitched to some hunky Sacaen warrior? I gotta say, I didn’t think you’d grown up THIS much!
What? No! Nothing of the sort! I, well... I still need to work on conversing with men, after all... One thing at a time, right?		Florina
Farina	Aww, I was pretty pumped there for a second. Guess I got a little ahead of myself, huh...
Regardless, it’s clear that our dear sister has made excellent progress. Let us be thankful for that. That being the case, I have one last thing to leave you with, as a senior pegasus knight. Listen closely... No matter what happens...even if you have to take a mission that you are certain you won’t return from...		Fiora
Florina	“Never quit a mission that you have already accepted,” right?
Indeed. I couldn’t have said it better myself, which I suppose means I already told you this in another world. Hah! It seems that version of me did not shirk her duties, either. No matter the world, I am always unwavering.		Fiora
Farina	Wait a minute. Weren’t you just saying you aren’t responsible for your actions in another world?!

Florina: Azure-Sky Knight - B

Lyn	So a version of me in another world gave you that bow. It’s a Sacaen design all right. She must have good taste too. I’d say it suits you pretty well! Use it with pride, Florina.
Thank you, Lyn. I will. I’ve already taken quite a liking to it, as well.		Florina
Lyn	I know what you mean. Just looking at it is enough to remind me of the days we spent on the plains of Sacae.
Right? Back then, I never would have imagined that we were on the cusp of an amazing journey!		Florina
Lyn	Indeed. My only regret is that it could not begin under better circumstances.
Oh, I-I’m sorry. I know you had a personal reason for setting out. I shouldn’t have sai—		Florina
Lyn	Don’t worry. Even from the start, I was never alone. The voices of the spirits guided me. How else can I explain the good fortune of finding the Mani Katti and meeting Grandfather? Besides, if I had lived out my life on the plains, I wouldn’t have ever met all of you.
That’s true...		Florina
Lyn	I’ll always be grateful to Mark for that opportunity, and to you for your companionship. Remember when you told me Huey’s crash landing had almost crushed that bandit leader? Haha!
Oh, come on.. That was ages ago!		Florina
Lyn	I know, I know... Hmm? Florina, what happened to your fingers? They’re all bandaged up.
Oh...these? I’ve been practicing with the bow a lot lately and, well...		Florina

Florina: Azure-Sky Knight - A

Lyn	You must have really gone at it to get calluses like that. Just how long were you practicing? Still... You should be proud of them. Some may think calluses are unseemly, but I find them beautiful.
Well, that’s...a little embarrassing, but I’m glad you think so. I was deathly afraid of bows for so long, and... Well, I only pushed myself to practice because I wanted to become strong like you. To help you.		Florina
Lyn	And look how far you’ve come. Remember how terrified you were when you first met Wil?
Oh course! At first, my shots never found their mark. Getting better took a lot of hard work. I mean, even setting aside hitting your target, it takes so much strength just to send an arrow flying!		Florina
Lyn	That’s how it is for most people. This may surprise you, but I couldn’t shoot very far at first either.
Then...did you also keep at it every day? Kept training until, slowly but surely, your arrows flew true? To tell you the truth, I broke down in tears the first time I managed to hit the target.		Florina
Lyn	Tears of joy, I trust. After all of your hard work, that was proof that you’d achieved your goal.
You’re right... I wanted to have the same confidence I saw in your eyes. But I didn’t want to just overcome my fear of bows—I wanted to turn it on its head. I knew that if I put my mind to it, I could turn that weakness into a strength.		Florina
Lyn	I can hear the resolve in your voice. This was a decision you made deep in your heart, isn’t it?
It wasn’t a decision I made alone. This bow, these accessories... Everything you gave me supports me to this day. Thank you so much, Lyn. I couldn’t have come this far without your help.		Florina
Lyn	I only set you down the path, Florina. You were the one who walked it. You’ve come this far thanks to the effort you’ve put in. So be proud of your power to turn your dreams into reality! I certainly am.
Lyn... Thank you.		Florina

Florina: Azure-Sky Knight - S

Florina	Oh, Lyn... I can’t even begin to tell you how wonderful it feels to have my efforts rewarded like this. Looking back on it now, I was so happy when I was taken into service by House Caelin... But hearing that you’re proud of me makes me just as happy, if not more, than I was then!
Hmm... I wasn’t sure at first, but you may have changed in more ways than even you realize. Talking to you now, I can’t help but be reminded of the winds of my homeland.		Lyn
Florina	Oh? In what way?
As they roll across the plains, Sacae’s winds can be gentle one moment, and then fierce the next. They ferry pollen to flowers and push clouds along the sky, ever moving in concert with nature. Like the wind, you have chosen a direction ahead of you and are steadily pushing toward it.		Lyn
Florina	I see... That’s a pretty good description of how I’ve always felt about you too.
Then let’s ride that wind. Once we’ve restored peace to Askr, Elibe is next on the list. And, of course...after things are dealt with there, let’s make sure we find our way back to Sacae. I’m sure our future is just waiting to be discovered in the rolling plains.		Lyn
Florina	Right! I’ll go wherever the wind takes me, so long as it’s with you! And in the meantime, I’m going to keep honing my archery skills to honor the gift you gave me. I’ll make sure my arrow can pierce through any barrier to reach its target. Just you watch! After all, I’ll be with you every step of the way as we push forward, the winds at our backs!
