=== Eirika & Alfred === --- C --- [Eirika] You're always so lively in the mornings. The mere sight of it is enough to fill me with energy. [Alfred] Yeah, I can have that effect on people! Wanna come running with me sometime? --- B --- [Eirika] Is it not hard for you to rise before daybreak? To undergo a morning routine while still sleepy? [Alfred] Once, maybe, but I'm used to it. Mornings are better when you've got your game face on! --- A --- [Alfred] Emblems are weird. You're right here in front of me, but you don't have a body. [Alfred] Your will is so strong that you don't need one. Guess that's what it takes to be an Emblem. [Eirika] I'm not so certain. I'd consider myself a novice and not much stronger than you. [Eirika] When I see how hard you drive yourself, it spurs me to do my all to match. === Eirika & Anna === --- C --- [Anna] Ooo, a pretty Emblem! Welcome to my shop. I've got all kinds of rare stuff for sale! [Eirika] I came to see your wares, but something about you feels very familiar. --- B --- [Eirika] You always have such interesting items for sale. If only I could purchase any of them. [Anna] I normally frown on window shoppers, but if it makes you happy, I'd be willing to let it slide. --- A --- [Eirika] Just browsing through your dazzling array of wares is enough to brighten my mood. [Anna] Great! Look all you want! For you, Eirika, my stall is always open. [Eirika] That's nice of you. But are you sure it's not a problem that I can't buy anything? [Anna] Nah. Just between us, I'm raking in the dough from all the customers coming to see you! === Eirika & Bunet === --- C --- [Eirika] Your cooking looks truly delicious, Bunet. I can almost taste it just by looking at it. [Bunet] You can tell a dish's flavor from a single look? Splendid! How I envy those eyes of yours. --- B --- [Bunet] Eirika, please, as you can sense flavor with your eyes, tell me... How does this dish taste? [Eirika] Oh! I only meant I can see your food is delicious because I can see people smile when they eat it. --- A --- [Bunet] So, you can't sense flavors with your eyes? A shame. I so wanted you to taste my cooking. [Eirika] I wanted that too. But I have an idea... [Eirika] I will watch you cook, paying attention to every detail. And I will imagine how each bite tastes. [Bunet] Use the power of imagination...to conjure the soul of a meal? A delicious experiment indeed. === Eirika & Boucheron === --- C --- [Eirika] I admire your form, Boucheron. I wish I had muscles like yours. [Boucheron] What?! I don't know, Eirika. I've seen you fight, and you do just fine the way you are. --- B --- [Boucheron] Do you read much, Eirika? I like it because it puts you in someone else's shoes. [Eirika] If everyone read as much as you do, I don't doubt the world would be a kinder place. --- A --- [Eirika] I'd like to take up reading as a hobby. But not being able to turn the pages is an issue. [Boucheron] Well, if there's a book you want to read, I'd be happy to turn the pages for you. [Eirika] Thank you! I'm curious about Elyos, so a history book would be nice. Or is that too long? [Boucheron] No sweat. These muscles of mine could power through a thousand pages if they had to. === Eirika & Céline === --- C --- [Céline] They tell me you dislike conflict, Eirika. Is it not painful for you to wage war as an Emblem? [Eirika] I've made up my mind to do whatever I can if it stops even one person from grieving. --- B --- [Eirika] War takes a heavy mental toll. We must not forget to care for those scarred by combat. [Céline] I find that the soothing aroma of a floral tea does much to calm the mind. I'll prepare a pot. --- A --- [Eirika] I can tell from the scent alone that your tea is magnificent, Céline. [Céline] You honor me. As a princess, it's important for me to establish a welcoming atmosphere. [Eirika] There's more to it than manners and etiquette, isn't there? You wear your heart in your leaves. [Céline] I learned from your example. There is joy in seeing signs that someone else cares for us. === Eirika & Chloé === --- C --- [Chloé] Um, Eirika? Who is that beautiful man who shows up sometimes and looks just like you? [Eirika] That's my twin brother, Ephraim. Sorry if he surprised you, but he's impressed with you too. --- B --- [Chloé] Your brother's so wonderful, Eirika. He's as gorgeous as you and every bit as strong too. [Eirika] I'm sure he appreciates the compliments. Wait... Chloé, are you... --- A --- [Chloé] Eirika, all I meant was that one of you is already beautiful. Two of you would be even lovelier! [Eirika] I had heard that you appreciated storybook scenes of that sort. And since we're twins... [Chloé] You'd look even dreamier side by side! The trouble is, he only shows himself in battle. [Eirika] True enough. I know you had your heart set on it, but I think you and I match up nicely too. === Eirika & Citrinne === --- C --- [Citrinne] I love to treat friends to little gifts. What can I get for you, Eirika? Say the word and it's yours. [Eirika] Hehe, you're so kind, Citrinne. For now, the offer on its own is more than enough. --- B --- [Citrinne] There must be some gift I can offer you, Eirika. Shall I buy you a mountain? Rent out the coast? [Eirika] Um, those would both be a bit much, but I can sense your sincerity. Let me think it over. --- A --- [Eirika] I've given it plenty of thought, Citrinne...and I've landed on a gift idea that I would truly love. [Citrinne] Oh, that's marvelous! I'm so glad! Tell me, what expression of our friendship shall I buy for you? [Eirika] What I would cherish most...is the knowledge that you care for me. And I already have that. [Citrinne] Oh, Eirika... If that's a gift, then you've given it right back to me. Let's both cherish it together. === Eirika & Clanne === --- C --- [Clanne] Wow, you're a twin too, Lady Eirika? [Eirika] Yes! Just like you, we're an older brother and younger sister. We should compare experiences. --- B --- [Eirika] My twin brother has always treated me like a child, even though I was born shortly after him. [Clanne] Oh yeah? Wow. I'm the older one and I always worry about my sister too. --- A --- [Clanne] Twins are strange, right? We're born at the same time, but one is always older. [Eirika] My brother always uses the excuse that he's older so he can do things for me. [Eirika] He says being younger means getting doted on, even if I was born at nearly the same time. [Clanne] If he's anything like me, he's showing you how much he loves his twin. === Eirika & Diamant === --- C --- [Diamant] I heard you have a twin brother, Eirika. Did that ever complicate the matter of succession? [Eirika] Not at all. I never planned to challenge my older brother. There is no one more suited to be king. --- B --- [Eirika] You've been the heir to your throne since birth, haven't you, Diamant? How has that felt? [Diamant] Matters of the crown are always on my mind... but I make sure my heart gives the orders. --- A --- [Diamant] My father taught me to control through power. Now I'm crown prince of a military juggernaut. [Eirika] I also had a military-minded father, so I decided to train in the combat arts. [Eirika] I will be honest, I take no pleasure from drawing a sword, but sometimes there's no other choice. [Diamant] I agree. Power must be used to protect people... but it must also protect the peace that follows. === Eirika & Etie === --- C --- [Etie] You seem a little sluggish. You feeling OK? A good, hard workout might be what you need. [Eirika] Sorry? Oh, no, I was just lost in thought. I can't always be as ebullient as you, Etie. --- B --- [Eirika] You're always so keenly focused on training. Do you wish for greater strength that badly? [Etie] Getting buff isn't the only reason to work out. It's like...a whole way of life at this point. --- A --- [Eirika] I must say, Etie. The idea of working out as a way of life has opened my mind. [Etie] The best part is you really get results going about it that way! [Etie] Still, you've gotta focus on the process, not the results. Wanna give it a try sometime, Eirika? [Eirika] I'd like that. If I see things your way, I think I could train hard while having fun doing it! === Eirika & Fogado === --- C --- [Fogado] I admit, Eirika, I had no idea you were so strong! I guess looks can be deceiving, eh? [Eirika] My brother has trained me well. As for you, it seems you are just as friendly as you appear. --- B --- [Fogado] So, about that guy who helps you in battle...is he a friend of yours? I'd love to chat with him. [Eirika] You mean my twin brother, Ephraim? I'm sorry. He vanishes every time a battle ends. --- A --- [Fogado] Princes have a lot of expectations to live up to, ya know? Sometimes it feels so...so confining. [Eirika] I think people expect great things from you because they can see just how brilliant you are. [Fogado] Well, when you put it like that, I think maybe I should work harder to meet those expectations. [Eirika] That is a good attitude. Though don't forget, your relaxed nature is a good quality too. === Eirika & Framme === --- C --- [Framme] No way! You're a twin like me? And a younger twin sister too? We're gonna get along so good. [Eirika] Hehe, I'm sure you're right. Perhaps we can trade tips on how best to handle older brothers! --- B --- [Framme] Lady Eirika, do you get along with your brother? Sometimes it's hard for twins. [Eirika] We do, though I cannot say if it is thanks to our personalities or the nature of our power. --- A --- [Framme] Does your brother annoy you, Lady Eirika? Or do you just totally love him? You can tell me. [Eirika] I love him, of course. He is family. [Eirika] But more than that, he is the person I trust and respect the most. And that will never change. [Framme] That's sweet. I feel the same. I should probably tell my brother, but it sounds sooo mushy. === Eirika & Goldmary === --- C --- [Eirika] I often wonder why war is so commonplace. Why are people so keen to hurt each other? [Goldmary] I couldn't agree more. It should be a crime to force anyone as charming as us to fight. --- B --- [Goldmary] I grew up surrounded by luxurious hot springs, so I appreciate a good soak more than most. [Eirika] Hot springs must be amazing. I wonder if there are any such places in the world I come from? --- A --- [Eirika] Our talk has had me trying to remember when I last had a good bath. [Goldmary] I imagine it's difficult without a body. Taking you to the hot springs might be a little pointless. [Goldmary] Then again, you may not need a body to appreciate how relaxing they can be. [Eirika] Interesting suggestion. We should pay your village a visit when we get the chance. === Eirika & Hortensia === --- C --- [Eirika] I'm very grateful to your retainers for bringing me here. [Hortensia] I'm the one who should be grateful. It's a privilege to fight alongside you. --- B --- [Hortensia] Hey, Eirika. When was the last time someone told you that you're totally adorable? [Eirika] I have no idea. I'm certainly not used to hearing such things. Maybe when I was a little girl? --- A --- [Hortensia] I think it's about time someone acknowledged how pretty and charming you are, Eirika! [Eirika] What do you mean by "acknowledged"? [Hortensia] I mean this─an official certificate of beauty! We can hang it up for you somewhere. [Eirika] This is certainly a first. Thank you, Hortensia. Can we display it in the Ring Chamber? === Eirika & Ivy === --- C --- [Ivy] Your royal title has not compromised your honesty, Lady Eirika. I envy that about you. [Eirika] What an unexpected compliment. Thank you. --- B --- [Eirika] I'm often told that I'm too easy to read. I think I'd like to learn to be a little more...cunning? [Ivy] Heh, interesting. If you really wish to learn, you could try following my example. --- A --- [Ivy] I suppose it's natural for each of us to envy those who have qualities we lack. [Eirika] What do you think you're lacking, Princess Ivy? [Ivy] Everything. The more I fight alongside my allies, the more insufficient I feel. [Eirika] Your friends aren't there to outshine you, but to support you. I should know─I'm one of them. === Eirika & Jade === --- C --- [Eirika] E-excuse me, Jade? Are you busy? You look as if you're deep in thought... [Jade] Oh. Pardon me, Eirika. I'm not busy. I have no pressing tasks, so I was letting my mind wander. --- B --- [Eirika] Sometimes people laugh at me...even when I'm trying to be serious. Do you know why, Jade? [Jade] Heh, don't take it too hard. I write for days and weeks to get a laugh. You're more efficient. --- A --- [Eirika] I wish I could make people laugh in the way that you do, Jade... [Jade] You do? Why is that? [Eirika] Should a battle turn dire, that gift could help to hearten our allies. I fear such a day approaches. [Jade] You're earnest and kind, Eirika. Your presence alone is all the comfort we'll need. === Eirika & Jean === --- C --- [Jean] Emblems can't get hurt or sick, can they? If you never need a doctor, I'm not much use to you. [Eirika] You raise a good point. Our relationship does seem a bit lopsided... --- B --- [Jean] Emblems are all mind, right? So psychologically, you might have the same problems people do. [Eirika] Hmm. I suppose I am something of a worrier. I'll take your advice and keep an eye on that. --- A --- [Jean] People's hearts are like teacups. Remnants can collect over time and pool at the bottom. [Eirika] Is that so? What happens if it overflows? [Jean] It could become a real problem. You should talk it out with a professional before that happens. [Eirika] Hmm. My heart does feel lighter when we talk, so there is a way you can treat me after all. === Eirika & Kagetsu === --- C --- [Eirika] How do you find being on your own in a foreign land, Kagetsu? I sometimes get homesick. [Kagetsu] Sickness for home? I do not know this feeling. For me, it is all adventure and learning. --- B --- [Kagetsu] Your sickness for home─it can be cured only by finding joy in this world. Come with me! [Eirika] I suppose that makes sense, but─ Hey! Where are we going? --- A --- [Kagetsu] Did you enjoy going out with me, Lady Eirika? I showed you all of my favorite places. [Eirika] Yes, although I'd have liked to spend more time with each. You set quite a brisk pace... [Kagetsu] I am very sorry, but there is too much wonder in this world. You must go quickly to see it all. [Eirika] You're right. And after that tour, I feel I know this place as well as my own home. Thank you. === Eirika & Lapis === --- C --- [Lapis] Have you settled into our world OK, Eirika? If you need anything, just say the word. [Eirika] Anything? Hmm... I can't hold physical objects, but something fun to look at might be nice. --- B --- [Lapis] I just finished crafting something you might like to see, Eirika! It's a tiny model furniture set. [Eirika] Amazing! These look so delicate and precious. Thank you, Lapis. I admire your craftiness. --- A --- [Eirika] You're so skilled at crafting with your hands, Lapis. I must admit, I envy your ability. [Lapis] Thanks, but I had to learn. It's mostly a survival skill. I doubt you'd ever have a use for it. [Eirika] Oh, but you're wrong! You craft treasures that can't be bought, made with love and care. [Lapis] Huh. I never thought of it that way... I'd better be careful. You're gonna give me a big head! === Eirika & Lindon === --- C --- [Eirika] You retired from the military once, didn't you? Aren't you hesitant to risk your life again? [Lindon] There's always that risk, but if I can contribute somehow, I'm happy to do whatever I can. --- B --- [Lindon] Haha! Look, Eirika! I made some pop beans with Elthunder! Turned out pretty well, huh? [Eirika] Wow, you didn't burn a single bean. I've never seen such fine control over one's magic. --- A --- [Lindon] I believed that I'd see the end of this war, but I may have been mistaken. [Eirika] Don't abandon hope yet. I believe that an age of peace is due. [Lindon] That's very well for someone who can't grow old to say. The question is, will I live to see it? [Eirika] Peace will come sooner than you think. That's what I'm here to ensure. === Eirika & Louis === --- C --- [Louis] Is it true that Emblems cannot touch anyone in this world? Does that not get lonely? [Eirika] It's not so bad. We can perceive kindness, so I still feel connected to everyone here. --- B --- [Eirika] I long for my hometown sometimes. And I miss allies from the long war, especially my friend. [Louis] What sort of person was this friend? Wait, don't tell me. I picture...a beautiful pegasus knight. --- A --- [Eirika] Your guess before was surprisingly accurate. My friend was a princess and a pegasus knight. [Louis] A winning combination to be sure. I'd like to hear more about her, if you wouldn't mind. [Louis] Discussing her with someone else might help to alleviate your loneliness. Tell me every detail! [Eirika] There's some sense in that suggestion, but your enthusiasm is a bit...off-putting. === Eirika & Alear === --- C --- [Eirika] Of all the rings stolen from Lythos, I'm the last to join you. Please excuse my lateness. [Alear] It's not your fault. I'm just glad you're back. And I promise not to lose you again, Eirika. --- B --- [Alear] I can feel two presences in your ring, Eirika. Is there more than one Emblem in there? [Eirika] My twin brother Ephraim and I are one Emblem. Only at our power's peak can we exist at once. --- A --- [Alear] It's been good to fight at your side, Eirika. Is there a way I can thank Ephraim too? [Eirika] He won't appear in peacetime. If it's the ring or his personality, I don't know. But I will tell him. [Alear] Thank you. Your support has meant so much to me─and that goes for both of you. [Eirika] I'm also quite pleased with our experiences thus far. I hope we can always work together. === Eirika & Mauvier === --- C --- [Mauvier] It is strange to fight beside you. I am sorry for what transpired when we retrieved your ring. [Eirika] Please don't apologize. I forgave you long ago. We're friends now, Mauvier. --- B --- [Mauvier] Who is the warrior who aids you in battle? He looks and fights the same as you. [Eirika] That's my twin brother. He tells me he's impressed by your fighting skill. --- A --- [Mauvier] Lady Eirika, is there someplace you might wish to visit? I will take you anywhere you desire. [Eirika] I'm happy for your offer, but where is this coming from? [Mauvier] You say you have forgiven me. Yet I still feel the need to atone. Does that trouble you? [Eirika] No. You are a kind soul. Thank you. I'll talk to my brother and we'll make a decision. === Eirika & Merrin === --- C --- [Merrin] I absolutely adore unusual critters. Tell me, are there any rare creatures in your world? [Eirika] Do monsters count? We have bonewalkers, entombed, revenants...and man-eating spiders. --- B --- [Merrin] Some animals manage to survive in very harsh conditions, you know. I respect them for that. [Eirika] I ran into a nest of monsters living in a volcanic zone once. I can't say respect was on my mind. --- A --- [Eirika] I must admit, spending time with you has helped me better appreciate the unknown. [Eirika] I now see how charming strange creatures can be. You've given me a whole new perspective. [Merrin] I'm honored, Lady Eirika. It pleases me that a princess like you would value my thoughts. [Merrin] I hope we can talk more. I want to learn all about the entombed and bonewalker monsters! === Eirika & Timerra === --- C --- [Timerra] As a princess, don't you love hanging out with castle guards and napping in the royal garden? [Eirika] I-I would never do something so brash. Where I'm from, it would be seen as quite untoward. --- B --- [Timerra] I love traveling to places incognito, ya know? Have you ever done that? [Eirika] Well, I have traveled within my country. Not for amusement, sadly...always because of war. --- A --- [Eirika] The way you live... I've been thinking royals should perhaps allow themselves more freedom. [Timerra] For sure! If the people ruling a country aren't free, how can they build a country that is? [Eirika] That is a good point. Still, I can't help but think a country must be guided by a solid set of rules. [Timerra] I get it, I really do. The more I hang with you, the more I see that rules can come in handy. === Eirika & Pandreo === --- C --- [Pandreo] Lady Eirika, how about I give you a lesson in living it up? Or...are parties not your thing? [Eirika] I do enjoy having fun. Though, how to put this? I─ I do not know how to act at parties. --- B --- [Pandreo] There's no such thing as party etiquette. I say, the louder you shout, the more fun you have! [Eirika] Shout? I've never done that outside a battle. But...yes. I will give it a try! --- A --- [Eirika] So, about the shouting... I decided to give it a try by myself. And I found it quite refreshing! [Pandreo] I mean, that's not really the point. You gotta shout with other people around, not all alone. [Eirika] I see. But, Pandreo, I confess I feel embarrassed at the thought of other people hearing me. [Pandreo] How about you and I give it a test run, then? Just the two of us, shouting until it feels right. === Eirika & Panette === --- C --- [Panette] You speak in such a noble manner, Eirika. Refined language is a must for royalty, is it not? [Eirika] I've never given it much thought. It is simply the manner of speaking I am most at ease with. --- B --- [Eirika] Panette, I couldn't help notice your refined way of speaking. It is lovely...and also quite adorable. [Panette] I studied elocution so as to sound cultured. I've not been told I might sound adorable as well. --- A --- [Eirika] Speaking properly is not what matters. Speaking from the heart and with respect─that matters. [Panette] Speaking from the heart is...troublesome for me. I wonder, can you discern my true feelings? [Eirika] Yes, I think so. I can tell that you are pleased we have this opportunity to fight beside each other. [Panette] Yes, that is correct. I am happy. Oh, it makes me blush to find you can read me so easily! === Eirika & Rosado === --- C --- [Eirika] You can draw anything you see, can't you? What an incredible gift. [Rosado] Hehe, not as incredible as your adorable face. Actually, let me capture that real quick. --- B --- [Rosado] Here are some landscapes I drew recently, Eirika. Which one's your favorite? [Eirika] Oh, I could never choose─they're all so lovely. Looking at them makes me homesick, though... --- A --- [Rosado] Your memories of home must be pretty strong to distract you from all my beautiful drawings. [Eirika] I'm sorry. I did say they were lovely, and I meant it. You're very talented. [Eirika] It was because they were so powerful that I was reminded of the beautiful scenery back home. [Rosado] I'd love to hear about your world sometime. It sounds like an interesting place to live. === Eirika & Saphir === --- C --- [Saphir] Tell me something, Eirika. If Emblems can't eat, where do you get the energy to fight? [Eirika] I have no idea. All I know is that a lack of food doesn't hinder me. --- B --- [Eirika] You have a powerful physique, Saphir. You must train hard to maintain those muscles. [Saphir] Hahaha! Sure, but it was really a daily routine of hunting and fishing that built this body up. --- A --- [Eirika] It's interesting to hear you talk of hunting and fishing. I never realized they were so intensive. [Saphir] Why not? Those animals and fish are fighting to survive. Not much different from war. [Eirika] I lived a sheltered life for the most part. I never got to have those kinds of experiences. [Saphir] Didn't you take on some kinda Demon King? That's way more exciting. Tell me about that! === Eirika & Seadall === --- C --- [Seadall] Your long, flowing hair is perfect for dancing. Would you dance with me outside of battle? [Eirika] Thank you, but I am not skilled at dancing. Though, perhaps you would teach me? --- B --- [Seadall] Your hair is truly beautiful, Eirika. I wish mine shimmered in the light like yours. [Eirika] Oh, your hair is quite beautiful too. Though with it being so long, it must be difficult to tame. --- A --- [Eirika] Your hair─no, your entire bearing─it is simply magnificent. You are a true master of your art. [Seadall] That's very kind. I do everything in my power to make sure my dance is breathtaking to behold. [Seadall] So, it's good to have someone like you around. You inspire me to continue working my hardest. [Eirika] I'm glad to hear it, Seadall. Seeing you dance on the battlefield brings me so much joy. === Eirika & Alcryst === --- C --- [Alcryst] I'm sorry you got stuck with me, Lady Eirika. My brother is far superior. Compared to him, I... [Eirika] I feel the same way about my own brother. I often fret that he should be here in my stead... --- B --- [Alcryst] You have an amazing older brother like me, so you must know how sibling inferiority feels... [Eirika] I do, but Ephraim speaks honest praise for me often. I know your brother must do the same. --- A --- [Alcryst] My brother is always supportive of me, but he's just being kind. I'm sure he... Secretly, he... [Eirika] Perhaps this is just me, but if he truly felt otherwise, would he really be so considerate? [Eirika] Everyone still has something to learn and room to grow. Our brothers see our true potential. [Alcryst] I suppose you're right. I worry that I won't live up to that potential...but I'll try my best like you. === Eirika & Amber === --- C --- [Eirika] My world didn't have any of those "alpacas" you love, Amber. They're so unusual and adorable! [Amber] Adorable? Yes! Unusual? I don't know about that one. They're a perfect pet for any home! --- B --- [Amber] I've come a long way─from alpaca ranch hand to royal retainer. Do you have retainers, Eirika? [Eirika] I did, once. He was a brave, benevolent knight named Seth. Many called him the Silver Knight. --- A --- [Amber] Your retainer was called the Silver Knight...and I'm just an alpaca-wrangling master... [Eirika] Is something the matter, Amber? You look as if you're in pain... [Amber] I'm a royal retainer, but I don't have a cool title! What can I do to earn a knightly nickname? [Eirika] There's just one thing you should do: your best. Legends and nicknames will follow. I promise! === Eirika & Vander === --- C --- [Eirika] I was told you were skilled at knitting, yet I'd not seen you practice the art. How wonderful! [Vander] It's rare I'm praised so genuinely. People are often more surprised than anything. --- B --- [Eirika] When you fight, Vander, what drives you? Why do you risk your life in combat? [Vander] That is quite simple─to protect those I love. My life is entirely in service to that idea. --- A --- [Eirika] I want to protect others, the same as you. [Vander] I may well lack your noble heritage, but I share your convictions. [Vander] That a princess and an old knight might each risk all in service of that belief... It is surprising. [Eirika] Not at all. We are the same in that we both try to protect those who can't protect themselves. === Eirika & Veyle === --- C --- [Veyle] As an Emblem visiting this world, what do you think of Divine Dragons and Fell Dragons? [Eirika] I understand that one is thought to be holy and the other evil. But perhaps there is more to it? --- B --- [Eirika] Do you ever get tired of fighting, Veyle? I...sometimes wonder if anyone ever truly wins. [Veyle] I used to feel that way. But I've put my trust in someone, and I will follow where they lead. --- A --- [Eirika] I'm sorry if I sounded discouraging before. I did not mean to deter you from fighting. [Veyle] Oh, but I'm glad you told me how you felt. It's helpful to hear other opinions. [Veyle] More than that, I think you spoke out of kindness. And I love your kind heart. [Eirika] Thank you for trying to comfort me. Know that I will always support you with all of my power. === Eirika & Yunaka === --- C --- [Yunaka] Well, look at you! Sleek as a sword, sharp as a razor─those cheekbones could cut glass! [Eirika] I'll take that as a compliment? Thank you. --- B --- [Eirika] You seem to have boundless energy, Yunaka. I can't help but enjoy myself around you. [Yunaka] Zappy! But if I get my energy from having fun with you, how do we know who started it?! --- A --- [Yunaka] You're such a genuine and charismatic person, Eirika. Must be how you were raised. [Eirika] I'm flattered, but I'm sure I could say the same about you. [Yunaka] Nah, not really, even if it's nice to hear you say so. Not many people are as honest as you. [Eirika] I understand. And people like you are an equally rare find, Yunaka. === Eirika & Zelkov === --- C --- [Eirika] I'm impressed by your broad range of interests. I don't have any hobbies at all. [Zelkov] My pursuits *provide* me with a sense of purpose. They are my greatest source of joy. --- B --- [Zelkov] Anyone can take up a pursuit. You need only *select* something and begin. [Eirika] Good idea. I'll give that some thought. --- A --- [Eirika] I've decided on a pursuit, Zelkov. I want to bring peace to the people of this world. [Zelkov] That seems less of a *pursuit* to me and more of a responsibility. [Eirika] I'm not doing it because I have to. I'm doing it because I want to see people living happily. [Zelkov] I fail to see the distinction, but it is a *worthy* answer nevertheless.
