In Her Service/Flayn: Playing Innocent


Flayn	Oh, hello. It is good to see you again. Might you...have a moment to speak? I am truly grateful to be able to meet all of you. It feels wonderful to say I am serving as an operative of the special forces corps, the Order of Heroes. ...Oh, is it just Hero? Not operative? I see... Well, as wonderful as orders and heroes are, I do so adore the thought of being a special-forces operative! Your allies have introduced many new turns of phrase. I've never heard the word "operation" used that way... Nor had I ever heard the word "operative," of course. And the term "special forces" is also evocative itself. And together, they are sublime indeed! Special-forces operative, special-forces operative... Hee hee... I shall not tire of these magic words any time soon, I assure you. Now then, shall we set out for our next operation? Expect great things from Operative Flayn of the special-forces division Order of Heroes!


Flayn	Oh my, there you are, the summoner of legend... So good to see you! Previously, I was unaware that you were such a prominent figure amongst the Order of Heroes. But now, I must say, your title of legendary summoner does leave something to be desired. I am simply unable to abide your lack of honorifics, so...I will choose one of my own to use with you. Order of Heroes Special-Forces Operative `【Summoner】`! See! That is much more impressive, do you not agree? But I think I might have thought of something even better... Commander! It's obviously a higher rank than an operative—and it has a certain stately aspect to it! I would like that title myself one day... Commander Flayn, Order of Heroes! But all this is just a fantasy, as I will surely never hold that position while Commander Anna keeps her post... Ah, apologies for turning gloomy... It is just that impossible dreams are so truly heartbreaking...


Flayn	Oh, it is wonderful to see you again, Operative `【Summoner】`. Do you have a moment to speak? I had a truly wonderful thought. I was thinking more about wanting a title like commander, and... As long as Commander Anna is the commander of the Order of Heroes, I cannot be a commander, for one... Beyond that, Askr has so many other incredible Heroes, and Prince Alfonse and Princess Sharena besides... My status as operative is only a temporary one... In light of that, there is but one option left for me to take... Perhaps you have already figured it out? I ought to establish my own special group to carry out secret operations! Luckily, there does not appear to be any special-forces group or any sort of operatives anywhere in Fódlan. It is a great opportunity! I believe Commander Anna would be proud. I will soon announce its creation, and that will be that. Established! As for the name... What would suit it best? I know! We will adorn it with your name, the name of the legendary summoner! Which means it is... Special Forces and Operations Corps, Order of `【Summoner】`! ...How does that sound? Oh, and the first commander will be me, Commander Flayn! This is beginning to sound like such fun...


Flayn	sigh Oh, lovely to see you, `【Summoner】`. Might we speak a moment? It is regarding my plan to create the special-forces group in Fódlan... It seems there is something of a snag... You see, I've invited some students from the Officers Academy, but they do not seem the least bit interested. A commander is only a commander if she has operatives under her command, so...you see my problem. If only I had a summoner like you as one of my operatives, we could bring in more new operatives in no time. Oh! There's an idea! If you join as one of my operatives, everything will be solved! I will need someone I can entrust with battlefield command as well... So what do you think? If you are not happy as an operative, perhaps I could make you, oh... vice commander? Yes! It is settled! Now, join me, and fight by my side! ...Hm? Oh, WHO we fight is— Well, special operatives ought to combat foes of an otherworldly nature... But it could well be that such foes will never come to Fódlan. Then we will fight to protect OTHER worlds from— Oh, we need the power to open gateways to other worlds? Hrrmmm... It seems that, in the end, impossible dreams are indeed heartbreaking after all...
