Special conversations

Hint of Potential

Hint of Potential - Opening

Caspar	Where did those idiot bandits run to? If we don't find them soon, I'll lose this chance to prove my worth! But hold on, where are we? I thought our main forces were behind us, but I don't see them there anymore.
Y-you're just noticing that? They've been gone for a while.		Ashe
Dorothea	It's just us three in the mountains at night... We have done an excellent job of isolating ourselves.
This is all because you ran ahead without a plan, even though I said we should find the main battalion!		Ashe
Caspar	What else could I do? We found the evildoers. We had to put an end to them as quickly as possible.
It isn't necessary to take their lives. After foes give up their weapons and surrender, you can capture them.		Ashe
Caspar	You're spouting that peaceful junk again. Listen, if you go easy on them, then you can't carry out true justice.
No. Cry "justice" from the hilltops if you want. That doesn't give you permission to take people's lives...		Ashe
Dorothea	Hey, don't you two think you should stop making so much noise? We have no idea what's around here, but I bet the bandits know this area inside and out. For all we know, this might be the perfect place for them to set up an ambush for us.
You're right, those worthless bandits could be lurking anywhere.		Caspar
Ashe	That means we could be attacked under the cover of darkness. If they find us in this situation, we won't last long at all!
We should regroup with the main battalion, but...we need to proceed carefully so we aren't discovered.		Dorothea
Caspar	You're saying we shouldn't let our guard down, right? No problem. Leave it to me!
Don't make so much noise, Caspar. Look, there you go again...		Ashe
Caspar	Uh, that's not me. You're clearly the one making a ruckus, rustling around.
N-no, I'm not... What is that sound? Hey! It's coming from that tall grass! Something moved!		Ashe
Dorothea	Prepare for battle, you two!
Oh! Is everyone all right?		Fjorm
Marianne	Thank goodness we found you before someone got hurt!
Princess Fjorm! And Marianne! What are you two doing out here?		Dorothea

Hint of Potential - C

Ashe	Wow, did you really split off from the main force to come search for us? Thank you.
I am just glad we found you before anything bad happened.		Fjorm
Marianne	I turned around for a moment and you had disappeared. I was truly worried about you.
Sorry if we caused you trouble. You had no reason to worry. We’re all in tip-top shape!		Caspar
Dorothea	I’m impressed you were able to find us in the midst of these mountains.
It really is almost a miracle you ever tracked us down out here.		Ashe
Fjorm	To be honest, I am as surprised as all of you. Marianne, you are amazing!
Oh, I um... I felt as though the animals in the forest were telling me where they were...		Marianne
Ashe	...
U-um... I something the matter?		Marianne
Ashe	Oh, I was just thinking that’s unusual, but you look quite serious.
You really seemed to be talking to the animals, Marianne!		Fjorm
Caspar	I don’t understand how that works, but it’s incredible! I guess we owe you our thanks, Marianne!
N-no, I am just glad I was able to be of help.		Marianne
Fjorm	Well, we should probably get back to the main force. Visibility is poor, but we marked the trees on our way here, so we should have no trouble.
Let me see if I understand this. The Marianne I am speaking to now... You were summoned from a Fódlan several years into the future of the Fódlan in which we lived?		Ashe
Marianne	Yes...I believe so. Since you’re all still students at the Officers Academy, I assume that’s what it means.
It’s a little odd knowing that we are speaking to someone from the future.		Dorothea
Ashe	Several years in the future, huh? I wonder what things are like then. I hope I’ve managed to become a noble knight... Can you all imagine what your future might be?
I can imagine Dorothea’s future. She will obviously have lots of invites to dinner with guys and stuff like that!		Caspar
Dorothea	Hehe. That’s too bad. I hoped I would be spending happy days with some wonderful man by then.
I bet Marianne knows what happens for all of us.		Ashe
Marianne	Oh... That’s...um...
Marianne?		Ashe

Hint of Potential - B

Marianne	Hm?
Marianne, can I aske you about the future? I hope I am just overthinking it, but... Judging by your reaction, I wonder if the Fódlan of the future doesn’t turn out like we all hope.		Ashe
Marianne	Um...
Could it be that you know what happens to us, and it isn’t good?		Ashe
Marianne	W-well, that’s...
Wait! Careful, everyone! I heard something strange.		Fjorm
Dorothea	I suspect we have ourselves some uninvited guests.
Bandits are attacking! Prepare to face them...		Fjorm
Caspar	I’ve got this! I’ll make them regret attacking us! Raaahhh!
Hmph. No matter what world you are in, bandits never have any manners, do they?		Dorothea
Ashe	Caspar, do not overextend yourself! Let us fight together and stay in each other’s line of sight.
Hey, Ashe. You were asking Marianne about the future, but... Does it really matter what happens a few years from now?		Caspar
Ashe	Really...
I mean, even if something happens to me in the future, what matters is now, this moment, right? I won’t give up on living my life, and I’m not going to stop training for even one day! Yaaah!		Caspar
Ashe	Caspar...
He has a point. What makes the future interesting is the potential to make it what you will. I’m going to continue being who I am too. It doesn’t matter what the future holds for me. I got enough of knowing how the story ends from my time in the opera house, fun though it was. Haaa!		Dorothea
Ashe	I see...

Hint of Potential - A

Caspar	This is the last of them! Haaa!
Drop your weapons and surrender! It is clear you have no strength left with which to fight.		Fjorm
Marianne	The battle is over. We need not end anyone’s life.
Is everyone all right?		Dorothea
Fjorm	I will follow our marks back and summon the main force. Please patrol the area here.
Marianne... About my question from earlier...		Ashe
Marianne	When you asked about the future? I’m not sure...
It’s fine. I don’t need you to tell me. You have reasons for being hesitant. I’m sorry for asking so casually.		Ashe
Marianne	I think it is understandable for anyone to wonder about their future.
But hey, there’s no guarantee that our future will be exactly the same as the one you know. Right, Marianne? I remember someone said something along the lines of...		Caspar
Dorothea	Each world has a different fate. There is no one fate that each Hero follows.
That is true. The history of the Fódlan I know may not be your future.		Marianne
Ashe	That’s right. We just have to do our best to try and create a good future.
Indeed. I think we can put everything we have into doing our best because we don’t know what our future holds.		Dorothea
Caspar	Yeah! We shape the future with our hands. It makes the outcome more worthwhile that way.
A strong will to shape what comes next... That may be what gives the future form.		Marianne
Ashe	Then we should all do our best to try for the future we want!
Haha! I guess I have to polish myself up even more than I already have!		Dorothea
Marianne	I would like to offer you my aid here in Askr so that you can mold the future into what you all wish for. Oh! I-I’m sorry. I am acting as though I’m your superior just because I came from the future...
Your words come from experience. I accept them with gratitude.		Ashe
Caspar	Our efforts today will shape the future, so I’ll keep training, always! That’s all there is to it!

Marianne: Cursed Blessing

Marianne: Cursed Blessing - C

Marianne	Goddess, guide my blade! Haaa! Yah!
Whoa! That’s amazing! One swing of your sword sent the bad guys flying!		Reginn
Marianne	Much blood has been spilled here. Goddess, I pray you grant these wandering souls some peace.
Hey, can I ask you something?		Reginn
Marianne	Hm? What— Is that an iron horse? I have never seen such a thing.
I’m Reginn, princess of Niðavellir. This isn’t an iron horse, it’s armor! It’s called a Gullinbursti.		Reginn
Marianne	I am Marianne, daughter of Margrave Edmund, of the Leicester Alliance in Fódlan.
Your sword is amazing! Even we’d be hard-pressed to make a weapon like that in Niðavellir. Does your world have reliable technology for creating such powerful weapons?		Reginn
Marianne	No, this weapon is... It’s special. Even by Fódlan standards. It is named Blutgang, and people call it a Hero’s Relic. It was created a long time ago, in an age of myth. Fódlan likely couldn’t forge the same weapon today.
That’s too bad! It would be nice to have lots of those swords in Askr.		Reginn
Marianne	I am sorry to let you down so.
You don’t need to apologize! But I’d like it if you used its power to help everyone you can!		Reginn
Marianne	Of course. I look forward to fighting by your side as well.
... The forgotten hero’s sword... Another Hero’s Relic has made its way here to Askr then...		Claude

Marianne: Cursed Blessing - B

Claude	Marianne. I have a question for you. Do you have a moment?
You’re...Claude, yes? Why are you dressed like that?		Marianne
Claude	I promise you that I’m Claude... despite how I’m dressed. Though I admit I’m not sure if I came from the same Fódlan as you.
Is that so? So, what do you want to ask me?		Marianne
Claude	Your sword. That’s Blutgang, one of the Heroes’ Relics, isn’t it?
It is.		Marianne
Claude	Where did you obtain it?
Have you heard rumors of a beast lurking in a forest in Margrave Edmund’s territory?		Marianne
Claude	The Wandering Beast, right? It attacks people and drags them into the forest.
With the professor’s help, I defeated it and earned the sword.		Marianne
Claude	What?! The beast had it?
Yes. I’m bearer of the Crest of the Beast, so battling the Wandering Beast was somewhat unavoidable. It was a harsh fight, but with the help of the professor and my friends, I was able to win.		Marianne
Claude	You’ve grown strong, Marianne. I can see it in your eyes.
N-no. I am who I am now thanks to the professor and my friends.		Marianne
Claude	(But, in the legend I know, Maurice didn’t release the sword from his grasp, even at the very end.) (If the beast had Blutgang, then that must mean...) (No! Maurice isn’t what I’m worried about right now.)
Um, Claude? What’s wrong?		Marianne
Claude	Recently, several Heroes from Fódlan have been summoned to Askr. They’ve brought weapons with them that are said to be Heroes’ Relics.
...		Marianne
Claude	The professor wields the Sword of the Creator. Catherine has her own sword, Thunderbrand... Dimitri’s Areadbhar, Failnaught, which a version of me from another world brought with him. And Edelgard’s Aymr... Its power rivals any of the Heroes’ Relics. It’s hard to see it all as a coincidence. I think something or someone might be working to make this all happen. That...is what is on my mind. But I hope I’m overthinking things.

Marianne: Cursed Blessing - A

Marianne	You think someone is collecting the Heroes’ Relics? Who?
Do you know the origin of how the Heroes’ Relics were created?		Claude
Marianne	The Church of Seiros teaches that the goddess Sothis is who passed them down.
It’s a false legend. The truth is quite a bit different.		Claude
Marianne	It’s false?! No. I don’t believe you. So who created the Heroes’ Relics if it wasn’t Sothis?
Those who slither in the dark... I hear they actually have another name, but that is what Hubert called them. They hate Sothis. They’ve lurked in Fódlan’s shadows for centuries, carrying out their dark plans. I fought those who slither in the dark in Fódlan. Their weapons were of a similar material to the Heroes’ Relics. The Heroes’ Relics were created by them.		Claude
Marianne	You think the Blutgang I hold... You think it was created by those who slither in the dark?
I don’t blame you for being surprised. It really confused me when Rhea told me the truth. What I’m concerned about now is that those who slither in the dark are here in Askr.		Claude
Marianne	That isn’t possible! Those who slither in the dark can’t be in Askr too!
They may not show themselves openly, but they have found their way into Askr. You can count on that. The summoner says the Heroes brought from other worlds are all necessary, but... I can’t imagine they’ve come here with anything but ill intentions.		Claude
Marianne	Do you really believe they’re behind the Heroes’ Relics being gathered? What if it’s a coincidence?
I said I might be overthinking things. But it’s always best to be cautious.		Claude
Marianne	If the Heroes’ Relics might be involved in an evil plot... I suppose it’s up to the people of Fódlan to stop it from happening.

Marianne: Cursed Blessing - S

Marianne	...
What’s wrong, Marianne? Did something happen?		Reginn
Marianne	Princess Reginn... To tell you the truth, um...
That’s quite the story. And quite the secret history for your sword!		Reginn
Marianne	If those who slither in the dark are truly in Askr, then I agree with Claude about the danger at hand. There is one more thing that’s bothering me. Could I have unknowingly brought a seed of disaster to this land?
No. I think you’re worrying too much.		Reginn
Marianne	...
A weapon’s a tool. And the role a tool plays depends on who’s using it. Niðavellir and Askr fought once... Back then, I invaded Askr wearing my Gullinbursti. But now my Gullinbursti’s role is to protect Askr, not conquer it.		Reginn
Marianne	You’re saying it is not just the tool that matters, but the will of its wielder as well.
Yep! So, I’m not worried about that sword of yours. Because it’s yours!		Reginn
I mean, you use its power in the name of peace!		Reginn
Marianne	Thank you, Princess Reginn. You have helped me to feel better. Blutgang is not a treat unto itself. Even if those who slither in the dark operate in Askr’s shadows, seeking to use the Heroes’ Relics themselves... I will not allow Blutgang to leave my grasp for as long as I live.
That’s the spirit! I’ll help you too, so call for me if you ever need my aid!		Reginn
Marianne	Thank you, Princess Reginn... I will devote all of my strength, and the strength of Blutgang, to reclaim peace in Askr.

Ashe: Chivalric Amends

Ashe: Chivalric Amends - C

Ashe	Commander Anna! You sure worked hard at your training today.
You too, Ashe. You have some solid movements. The Heroes from Fodlan are quick learners, which makes things easier for me. Are you used to Askr yet?		Anna
Ashe	Not exactly. I’ve explored the castle and familiarized myself some, but...
Ah... Well, you did just arrive here. If you ever have any trouble, you can always come to me, anytime!		Anna
Ashe	Thank you. I’m not experiencing any trouble. In fact, there’s quite a lot of stimulation here. I can learn a lot from the Order of Heroes!
That’s what we like to hear! You’re making me want to cheer you on.		Anna
Ashe	My goal is to become a proper knight as quickly as I can. You see... I come from a family of commoners. My life was not one of privilege, but kindness found me. Lord Lonato took me in and changed the course of my life. Now, I want to pay that kindness forward.
I see. I had no idea you had such a background. With that kind of motivation, you’ll make a great knight!		Anna
Ashe	That’s very encouraging, Commander Anna.
Hey, it’s not every day you come to Askr... Why not get to know some of the others in the Order of Heroes who come from similar situations?		Anna
Ashe	Oh, I hadn’t thought of that. I’ll introduce myself to them!

Ashe: Chivalric Amends - B

Forsyth	Ha! Raaah! Hiyah!
Impressive spearmanship there! I can tell you put a lot of effort into it.		Ashe
Forsyth	Oh, I apologize. I was so focused on training, I didn’t see you there. You are...Ashe, right?
Yes, and no need to apologize. I appreciate you taking time away from training to talk to me.		Ashe
Forsyth	I must say, I was surprised you wanted to meet here.
I heard you train here at this time, so I just thought we could talk after you finish.		Ashe
Forsyth	Oh, so you were trying not to inconvenience me? I am sorry I made you feel you needed to do that. Now then, you wanted to speak with me about something? Ask me anything. Anything at all!
I heard...you come from a family of commoners. Is that right, Forsyth? And now you aim to be a knight? I am in a similar circumstance, so I would like to hear about your experience.		Ashe
Forsyth	Ah, I see. Hm... Where shall I begin? I have always had a fascination with knights, ever since I was a child. Not for any admirable reason though... I simply wanted to accomplish something big, and I figured being a knight would allow me the chance.
I see... And it appears you have not lost any of your resolve since becoming an adult.		Ashe
Forsyth	That’s right. Back in Zofia, I was told that it is very difficult for commoners to become knights. As such, I was treated as a common soldier, even after I had accomplished great things in the military. But I could not give up. I have since volunteered to join the Deliverance. If I can accomplish enough in the Deliverance, there is a chance I may be promoted to a knight.
The way you train really shows your resolve. I hope a path to knighthood opens up for you!		Ashe
Forsyth	Thank you. Though now, I believe knighthood is no longer my ultimate goal. I have asked myself these questions: What will I protect as a knight? What will I fight for? And so now... I wish to train under Clive, whom I respect, and discern what my spear is truly capable of. That is my goal.

Ashe: Chivalric Amends - A

Roderick	Is that all for today’s drills? Ugh... I am still too weak...
Judging by that performance, I don’t think that’s true.		Ashe
Roderick	If my memory serves me correctly, you’re the one who covered me with your bow.
My name is Ashe. I’m a student at the Officers Academy in Fódlan.		Ashe
Roderick	I am Roderick, a squire aiming to be a knight in Altea.
I was impressed with how you breached enemy lines. I can learn a lot from you!		Ashe
Roderick	Me? If it was not for your support, I would have been surrounded by the enemy and left defenseless. I need to attain more experience if I am to become a knight.
You sure are a hard worker, Roderick. Can I ask... Why do you seek to become a knight?		Ashe
Roderick	It is really nothing to boast about. Most knights risk their lives out of loyalty to their lords, and to protect their people. However, my family is poor. I simply want to be able to put food on the table.
I see... That is one reason to—		Ashe
Roderick	Of course, I desire to protect my lord Marth and secure my family’s future. These are my sincerest goals.
I think your reasons for pursuing knighthood are praiseworthy. There are many reasons one could become a knight, whether for pride or for power... But since family is what is most precious to you, it makes sense that it is your reason. And if you are fighting for what is precious to you, then I think you are worthy of knighthood.		Ashe
Roderick	Thank you. It makes me happy to hear you say that. I shall continue my pursuit of knighthood, no matter how long it takes...

Ashe: Chivalric Amends - S

Ashe	Commander Anna!
Ashe! So... I take it you heard some good stories from Heroes with similar upbringings to you?		Anna
Ashe	I did! Hearing about where they came from and their goals was inspiring. I know my goal is to become a knight, but I realize that’s just one stop along my journey. After speaking with the others, it became clear to me... It’s what I will accomplish after I become a knight that will repay Lord Lonato for all he has done for me.
Hehe... I’m happy to see you’ve learned even more than I expected.		Anna
Ashe	I also learned that status has nothing to do with the pursuit of dreams. Forsyth and Roderick are both commoners, yet they work so hard to make their dreams a reality. Their effort gives their dreams shape. It’s because of them I feel that unwavering resolve is most important.
Aha! So status has nothing to do with it, huh? You know, even though I was put in command of the Order of Heroes, I come from a family of merchants.		Anna
Ashe	Really? Now that you mention it, there was a merchant in Garreg Mach that looked just like you!
When I joined the Order of Heroes, I focused all my efforts on fighting for Askr. Before I knew it, I was working as the commander.		Anna
Ashe	So, your desire to save Askr brought you to where you are now? I, myself, will have faith that my motive for fighting will bring me down the right path.
I’m counting on you, Ashe! Hehe.		Anna
Ashe	My dream is not only to become a knight but also bring peace to Askr. I will continue to strive for that, even if I don’t get results right away, with full faith my dream will take shape!

Caspar: Hotheaded Inciter

Caspar: Hotheaded Inciter - C

Caspar	Hey, you have more! Can’t you see?
No, you have more! You should take a good look before you start pointing fingers!		Hinata
Peony	Cut it out, you two! The dining hall is no place for fighting. Come on. Let’s just get along and eat our food.
I don’t think so, Peony. Take a look at our plates!		Hinata
Peony	Yes, there’s lots of delicious-looking food on them!
But he has more, doesn’t he? Don’t go thinking you’re going to get away with eating all that food while we settle for far less.		Caspar
Hinata	Wha— I don’t think so! You have way more than me!
Um... So, you two are fighting over who has more food?		Peony
Caspar	Exactly! This type of disparity will not be tolerated.
That’s what I should be saying!		Hinata
Peony	Calm down, you two! If you don’t have enough food, why not just go for seconds? Whatever you do, keep it down. You must eat quietly in the dining hall, OK?
I, uh...guess you’re right...		Caspar
Hinata	OK. I’ll just finish up this plate of food and go for seconds then!
Hey, I won’t let you eat one morsel more than me!		Caspar
You all are dumb as dirt, aren’t you? Did you not hear me when I said I would get it first?		Caspar
Hinata	I reached out to it first, so obviously it’s mine!
In fact, I was about to use it first—		Panette
Osian	Hey, if you all are going to bicker about something so insignificant, I might as well use it first.
Watch it! You either possess incredible bravery or lack certain... critical-thinking skills.		Panette
Peony	Hold on a second! What’s all the fuss about? We’re here to train, aren’t we?
I will be the first one to use that towel!		Caspar
Peony	What? You’re fighting over the towel hanging on the wall?
That’s right!		Caspar
Peony	But there are many more towels on the shelf.
That’s not the point. It’s about who is going to be the first to use the one right in front of us! Besides, I’ll never back out of a fight!		Caspar
Osian	All right. Let’s settle this once and for all with a test of strength!
Quite a risky suggestion, and settling things with force is not very ladylike.		Panette
Hinata	Well then, I’ll use it.
Hold it right there or I’ll strike you where you stand!		Panette
Peony	Oh, please! C-calm down, everyone!

Caspar: Hotheaded Inciter - B

Peony	Hmm... How can I make everyone get along? I wish they’d just take a nap and dream some happy dreams together.
Oh my, for what is this sight? I find it unfit a darling álfr looks so languid.		Bastian
Peony	Bastian! Oh, you’re right. I do have something on my mind.
If it not too unpleasant a request to make, might I ask what ails your mind today? Perhaps I can be of aid.		Bastian
Peony	Oh, thank you. Here’s what’s on my mind...
I do see, indeed... Your predicament is clear to me. If that is so, I know exactly the approach to use... Just you leave it all to me. I shall extract the thorn that sticks so stubbornly within your side.		Bastian
Peony	Oh, r-really? You’ll handle everything?
Indeed. I shall start my preparations now. Do excuse me, please...		Bastian
Caspar	What can you possibly want from me so early in the morning? I should be training as we speak. Uh, whaaa?!
Oh... It’s Caspar!		Hinata
Panette	What a splendid day. Do you perchance have business with me?
Hey, what is this? A continuation of our argument?		Osian
Bastian	Mighty Heroes of other worlds, I do hereby impart my appreciation upon you for your timely response. My wish for you today is to combine your strength, and together may we subdue some bandits.
That’s why we’re here?		Caspar
Bastian	Each of you who have gathered here are worth a thousand warriors in battle. Will you accept my request?
Of course I will! I’ll make a name for myself as one who’s worth a thousand warriors.		Caspar
Hinata	I’ll go on a massive rampage! Keep a close eye on me out there. You won’t be disappointed.
Timerra may be pleased at what I might accomplish on this venture. Though... I do worry about who will accompany me.		Panette
Osian	Perhaps you should say on guard duty then.
What did you say to me?! If they’re small enough, I’ll take them all on my own!		Panette
Bastian	So it is decided. Now, we shall be off to subdue the target. Into battle we go!
D-do you think they’ll be all right? I might as well tag along, just in case...		Peony

Caspar: Hotheaded Inciter - A

Caspar	The bandits we’re after are on this road, right?
They’re just down the way. It seems Bastian wasn’t lying.		Panette
Osian	All right! Whoever strikes the enemy first wins! There’s a lot of them, but they don’t appear too strong. I’ll lay them flat with my axe!
Hold it! I’ll be the first to strike!		Caspar
Hinata	I don’t think so. I won’t let you take all the credit for this!
Calm down, everyone! If we all fight separately, we will lose.		Peony
Bastian	You need not worry, Peony. At first glance they appear scattered, but they shall come together in the end. Let us observe. I am most certain they will fight with vigor.
Really?		Peony
Caspar	Raaah! I will strike down evil with justice!
Take this, you damned villains!		Hinata
Caspar	Not bad, Hinata!
Not bad yourself! Hyah! Take this too!		Hinata
Osian	If you’re charging ahead, I’ll watch your back. Haaa!
Yaaah! You won’t get past me! I’ll beat ya to a plup!		Panette
Caspar	I’ll take care of them! Hinata, can you handle the ones over there?
Who do you think you’re asking? Of course I can! Hiyah!		Hinata
Panette	You scared? You’re the one who started this fight! You won’t get away from me!
Good work cornering them. Take that!		Osian
Peony	Wha— Somehow, they are fighting as one...
Exactly. With a common foe before them, they come together as a single force. Those who were once scattered now work in unison, each of their strengths complementing another’s. When they pursue the same goal, acting as one, their strengths are amplified manyfold.		Bastian
Caspar	Haha! Looks like you’re the last one!
Don’t think I’ll let you flee!		Hinata
Osian	Leave this one to me. Haaa!
Done and done!		Panette
Peony	Wow... They defeated so many...
Hahaha! Just another day on the battlefield.		Caspar

Caspar: Hotheaded Inciter - S

Bastian	To everyone, good work. I am most pleased to see we subdued the enemy with no injuries.
Y-yes... We came out completely victorious!		Caspar
Hinata	Indeed! We are unstoppable when we work together!
Thanks to you, Bastian, I enjoyed that fight.		Osian
Bastian	Might I say, choosing you all for this battle bore fruit for me as well.
I would be very pleased if you might reach out to me again should there be another opportunity such as this.		Panette
Peony	Bastian, I don’t understand. They argued so much before, but now...
I happened to surmise that for them to get along, they must recognize their strengths upon the battlefield.		Bastian
Peony	I expect nothing less of such a knowledgeable person as you, Bastian. So, will they get along now?
I so hope they will. Though, one issue lies within this method...		Bastian
Caspar	So, when are we getting deployed again?!
I’m ready anytime!		Hinata
Panette	It has been quite a while. Even I am tired of waiting.
If it takes much longer, I’m going to lose my edge!		Osian
Bastian	It is unfortunate... No plans exist for our deployment. Might I suggest a training regimen?
As soon as we do get called, I’ll be the first one there!		Caspar
Hinata	No way! I will! And I’ll be on the front lines.
Oh no, they’re fighting again! Why is this happening?		Peony
Bastian	Their strong desire to fight must be directed somewhere. If they have not a foe, then it is directed inward...
Ugh... It appears having too much vigor can be a problem.		Peony
Caspar	I’m ready for a fight! I’ll blast through battle, cutting my enemies down left and right to secure victory!

Dorothea: Daring Ex-Singer

Dorothea: Daring Ex-Singer - C

Dorothea	The castle’s cafeteria is amazing. You can enjoy foods from so many different worlds. And not only that...
...		Reinhardt
Jeorge	...
...		Zelgius
Dorothea	You got your pick of good men from other worlds too. *chuckle*
...		Charlotte
Dorothea	Hm? Who is that?
...		Charlotte
Ferdinand	...
...		Innes
Charlotte	So many potential noblemen, all looking wealthy and perfect for marrying! Now, who to talk to first...
Meals in Askr are truly magnificent. I am fully satisfied, noble that I am!		Virion
Charlotte	No. Definitely not him.
She was Charlotte, from Nohr...		Dorothea
Charlotte	Oh! I’m sorry! I ran into you. I am such a klutz!
Fear not, for I am unbothered. Are you OK?		Seth
Charlotte	I am, thank you. Say...if you have the time, might I interest you in sharing some tea? As an apology?
So sorry, but I have a war council to attend, so I will be on my way.		Seth
Charlotte	Wait! I just want... Ah, shoot. He got away. Well, the next one won’t!
Hehe, I see. There are all kinds of Heroes in the Order of Heroes... And that girl looks to be a lot like me.		Dorothea

Dorothea: Daring Ex-Singer - B

Dorothea	Hello, Charlotte.
Oh, hello. As I recall, you’re... Dorothea. From Fódlan, right? Do you have some business with me?		Charlotte
Dorothea	Have you found a man who meets your noble standards yet?
What are you talking about? H-heh...		Charlotte
Dorothea	I was watching you just now. You were like a lioness on the prowl, and all the Heroes you were hunting were nobles. You’re looking to marry for money, aren’t you?
N-no! I have not the slightest idea what you’re talking about. I was fascinated by all the food on offer, is all...		Charlotte
Dorothea	Oh, I’m sure you were. There was a lot to feast on in there, after all.
... Damn, I’ve been found out.		Charlotte
Dorothea	Haha. Oh, don’t give me that look. I won’t tell anyone. I mean, I was certainly eyeing the menu myself.
What? Do you mean you...		Charlotte
Dorothea	Come now, Charlotte. Why don’t we have a little tea together?
Dorothea	Ha, that really happened?
I had someone casually ask why I don’t drop the act and be myself for a change. But you know... If I don’t land someone soon, then any chance at marriage will slip away. We’re in our prime! Time is short!		Charlotte
Dorothea	I know what you mean! Whoever said to be yourself doesn’t understand. Each day is precious for us.
You get it! Haha. I don’t think I’ve laughed this much since I arrived in Askr.		Charlotte
Dorothea	I don’t think I have either. I feel like we could be good friends. You know what? We should work together to achieve our goals.
You mean cooperate to make the men we’re aiming for ours?		Charlotte
Dorothea	There are lots of Heroes in Askr. With so many to choose from, I can’t imagine we’ll be chasing all the same ones. Don’t you think it would be better if we worked together?
I do! It’s definitely better to team up than to drag each other down. Let’s help one another marry into money!		Charlotte
Dorothea	Yes! Let’s find money, together!

Dorothea: Daring Ex-Singer - A

Dorothea	With training out of the way for the day, let’s begin our regular marry-money meeting!
*clap* *clap* *clap* Yes! Let’s!		Charlotte
Dorothea	First up, let’s talk about your guy, Clive from Zofia... He’s already got a romantic partner. She’s a knight. She’s upper nobility. And extremely beautiful. Worse... They’ve been together forever, so it doesn’t look like there’s any room to get involved.
Aww... He’s so earnest and kind, not haughty like so many other nobles. I thought we’d be a good match... It makes sense that a catch like him wouldn’t be available.		Charlotte
Dorothea	Your turn. What have you found for me?
I looked into Astram from Archanea. I’m sorry to say his story is similar. He has a partner, and the bad news is they love each other dearly. If that weren’t bad enough, she’s a lady from a major aristocratic family! Though he is a mercenary, I thought he would have money, since they say he serves royalty.		Charlotte
Dorothea	*sigh* The road ahead is harsh...
There are plenty of princes, knights, nobles, and mercenaries in the Order of Heroes, but... If we pursue someone like that, in most cases, we’re up against princesses or noble ladies.		Charlotte
Dorothea	I don’t know if it’s because they were raised in good circumstances, but a lot of them are normal, good people! Not all of them are like Bernie, holing up in their rooms.
It’s true. I prepared a meal with Princess Caeda from Talys, and... She’s at a level no commoner could ever hope to compete with. I mean that in most every way possible.		Charlotte
Dorothea	Isn’t she involved with the Hero-King? I mean...
If we’re going to just sit back, then we’re already as good as spinsters. There must be things to learn from these women. Let’s observe them and see how to polish ourselves up!		Charlotte
Dorothea	That’s my Charlotte, with a fantastic way to think about things.
*sigh* Still, we didn’t really do much today besides talking, did we?		Charlotte
Dorothea	We may not have gotten far with our pursuit, but it’s still been a lot of fun just to talk.
It is interesting to talk about our lives and what we want from them. I’m frankly surprised an elegant girl like you would have any struggles.		Charlotte
Dorothea	I was quite moved to learn you’re trying to marry into money to help make your parents’ lives easier. You’re a good woman, Charlotte.
I was moved by your story too, Dorothea. *sigh* If I were a man, I would definitely marry you!		Charlotte
Dorothea	I think we’d have a lot of fun if we were married.
Hahaha! We really do get along well, don’t we? Hm? Huh?! Ohhh!		Charlotte
Dorothea	Wh-what? What happened?!
I have an idea! Did you know there are Heroes whose gender varies when they’re summoned to Askr? I’ve met male and female Corrins, for example.		Charlotte
Dorothea	I have heard of that. I’ve met both versions of a professor from the Officers Academy at Garreg Mach too.
So, maybe in another world there’s a male you and a male me! And that would mean we could maybe... Ask the summoner to summon them so we can marry each other!		Charlotte
Dorothea	W-well, we wouldn’t... That is... You know what? Great idea! When it comes to romance, you are frighteningly clever.
Hehe! Thank you! I may have found my true calling. Let’s go and talk to 【Summoner】 right away!		Charlotte
Dorothea	Me as a man, eh? Sounds interesting. Let’s go!

Dorothea: Daring Ex-Singer - S

Charlotte	I think we let ourselves get a little carried away...
Now that I’ve thought about it for a minute, we missed a rather important point, didn’t we?		Dorothea
Charlotte	True. If the summoner summoned us as men from another world, they’d be commoners too, just like us.
And as fun as it would be to marry each other, we wouldn’t be marrying into money!		Dorothea
Charlotte	Thank goodness we realized that before we asked the summoner to help us! I was enjoying talking with you too much and let myself get a little silly.
I admit that I was completely ready to follow through with it though.		Dorothea
Charlotte	Hahaha! What are we doing, coming all this way to another world then thinking up things like this?
Hey! We had a very good idea... Bft...aha...hahahahaha!		Dorothea
Charlotte	Stop, you’re making me laugh! Aha...hahahaha!
But I really am having fun with you. I can be myself. I don’t need to be a songstress or anything else!		Dorothea
Charlotte	It does feel like we are old friends already, doesn’t it? OK, let’s rethink this plan of ours. There are sure to be Heroes summoned to Askr that we haven’t met yet... And some of them are sure to be wealthy, even wonderful, men!
I agree. We should work together to refine our womanly charms before they get here.		Dorothea
Charlotte	We’re going to do this, Dorothea!
With our combined elegance, Askr’s nobles don’t stand a chance!		Dorothea
