The Fire Within/Forrest: Fashion Forward

Forrest: Fashion Forward - C

Forrest	Princess Sharena! Just the person I was hoping to see.
Hello, Forrest! You look absolutely adorable today.		Sharena
Forrest	Oh! Thank you! A compliment from a princess—I can conceive of no higher praise. Here, allow me to repay the favor.
What's this? Ah—such a cute scarf! This is for me? Where did you get it?		Sharena
Forrest	I made it myself. And it's all yours!
You made this?! If you'd told me it came from the finest artisan in Askr, I'd have believed you! This is amazing! Thank you so much!		Sharena
Forrest	My pleasure. It's my belief that cute individuals should always be adorned with equally cute accessories.
Oh, stop. You'll make me blush. Seriously, thank you. Now, let's see how it looks. What do you think?		Sharena
Forrest	Lovely! A perfect match, if I do say so myself.
Perfect! Don't rest on your laurels, though. The moment he sees this, Alfonse is going to want his own.		Sharena
Oboro	So, that's Forrest of Nohr. Seems like a talented person...

Forrest: Fashion Forward - B

Phina	Hey! No cutting! This is my spot. I've been waiting here forever!
You stepped out of line, and I've been here all morning! I need a cute scarf to complete my ensemble!		Delthea
Leanne	People, so many... So lively...
What is going on here?		Reyson
Larum	It's the scarves Forrest is making! Everyone's going wild for them! Look, see? Here's the one he made for me. Isn't it marvelous? I've been lined up all morning just to get the same design in blue. I need it to go with another outfit!
All this excitement over scarves? Certainly they're well made, but this seems...excessive.		Reyson
Leanne	So pretty... Please, Brother, may I have...one?
Oh, very well. Show us to the back of the line, please.		Reyson
Forrest	Phew—another scarf done. I can't believe how popular these have been. Princess Sharena must have shown hers off to everyone. Still, it's gratifying. I had no idea my designs would command such a broad appeal. Hopefully I can keep up with demand. I only have so much spare time between battles...
Maybe I can help with that.		Oboro
Forrest	Ah! You're...Oboro, correct? From Hoshido?
That's right. So happens I'm a bit of a fashion fiend, myself. Your work is refined without being pretentious. It speaks to me.		Oboro
Forrest	Exactly my intent! Thank you. That's flattering to hear.
If I could give you one suggestion... It'd be to invest more in the quality of your fabric. I know a lot about this sort of thing. If you want, I can show you to the best suppliers in town.		Oboro
Forrest	I'd greatly appreciate the help!
Very well. Let's do it, then.		Oboro
Forrest	All right! Together, you and I will make Askr the most fashionable it's ever been!

Forrest: Fashion Forward - A

Sharena	Looks like everyone's lining up for more of Forrest's fine accessories.
Can't believe I let a competitor sneak up on me like this. I'm getting sloppy!		Anna
Sharena	You might have the wrong idea. They aren't doing this for money. It's a favor to the community.
Wow, really? Wasted potential.		Anna
Sharena	I think Forrest is just glad to see people wearing his scarves.
But he could have that AND a boatload of profit...		Anna
Oboro	Embroidering's done on this one. What's next?
These two, if you're up for it. A white heron on each. You know, Oboro, since you started helping me, the demand for these scarves has been even more intense.		Forrest
Oboro	Yeah. It's been tough to keep up. I'm enjoying myself, though. And I don't think that huge smile has left your face since the moment we started, Forrest.
Words can't express how happy I am to see folks enjoying our work. My fashion sense has drawn... unfavorable attention, in the past. My father, Prince Leo, has had a difficult time accepting me for who I am...though he's been better lately.		Forrest
Oboro	It takes courage to trust yourself when others doubt you. But that's the burden of a trend-setter. Sometimes people don't understand new or different ideas. They might try to tell you that you're wrong. But the truth is, if people like you didn't stay true to themselves, we'd never have anything new. Keep on being you, Forrest. The rest of the world will come around.
Thanks, Oboro...		Forrest
Oboro	It's true. I'm no exception, either. Honestly, I used to hate Nohr with every fiber of my being. Now look at us! I'm from Hoshido, you're from Nohr, and we're getting along great. That's partly thanks to Askr, but it's also thanks to our shared passion for beautiful clothing. When you look at it that way, fashion is about so much more than just looking your best. Trend-setters like you and I have the power to change the world.
That's...really profound, actually. You may be a terror to behold on the battlefield, Oboro, but your heart is undeniably kind.		Forrest
Oboro	A terror to behold? Please.
Anyway, there's still a little more to be done, so... Let's get...back to it...		Forrest
Oboro	Forrest? Are you OK? Poor guy's gone and passed out...

Forrest: Fashion Forward - S

Sharena	Rise and shine, Forrest! Welcome back to the land of the living!
Wh... What happened?		Forrest
Oboro	Hey, don't try to get up just yet. You collapsed from overexertion.
Here. Midori made some medicine for you. She said you should take it as soon as you woke up.		Sharena
Forrest	Thank you, Princess Sharena. So sorry to be a cause for concern.
I can't believe I didn't notice how exhausted you were. I should have insisted on a break much sooner. We were having so much fun that I lost track of time. I'm sorry, Forrest.		Oboro
Forrest	It's not your fault at all. I got so caught up in the excitement that I ignored the signs I desperately needed to rest.
Well, you're resting now. People can wait for scarves until you recover your strength, so don't rush it.		Oboro
Forrest	You're right. No matter how much fashion matters to me, some things are still more important. Like restoring Askr to peace... I need to save strength for that. That's why we're here, after all.
Forrest...		Sharena
Oboro	Good point. Let's make sure we achieve that goal before we throw ourselves fully into fashion design.
Agreed.		Forrest
Sharena	If your fashion line isn't motivation to fight for peace in Askr, nothing is! Forrest, Oboro, thank you. I know I can trust you both to make Askr both safe and supremely stylish!
Appreciate the vote of confidence.		Oboro
Forrest	We'll do our part to make Askr a world where everyone feels safe to look and feel beautiful!
