Eliwood & Fiora
Level C:
ELIWOOD: | So Fiora, have you gotten used to being in our ranks? |
FIORA: | Yes. Thank you, my lord. We mercenaries are quick to adapt to new
commands. |
ELIWOOD: | Yes, you are of the pegasus knights of Ilia, are you not? Seeing the
way you fight, I can imagine their quality. |
FIORA: | Your praise is an honor. I will do my best to betray your trust in
my skills. |
ELIWOOD: | Please, don't worry about formalities with me. We are equals,
fighting together for a common cause. |
FIORA: | Equals... But, my lord... |
ELIWOOD: | I like to think of everyone in this troop as a friend, regardless of
standing, gender or age. All are friends and all are irreplacable. |
FIORA: | ... ... |
ELIWOOD: | You seem surprised. "There goes another lordling with his head in the
clouds..." Something like that? |
FIORA: | No, never! But...I didn't imagine that a lordling of Lycia could
think that way for long. |
ELIWOOD: | You speak the truth, of course. But what I said was no lie. |
FIORA: | Lord Eliwood! I... You see, I... Speaking personally, I like that
way of thinking... I just do not believe it possible. |
ELIWOOD: | I'll take that as a compliment. |
Level B:
ELIWOOD: | Fiora, tell me... You are Florina's elder sister, are you not? |
FIORA: | I am. She is a shy girl, always aware of other people's eyes. When
she went off for her apprenticeship I worried and worried. |
ELIWOOD: | You are a good sister. |
FIORA: | I wish that were so. |
ELIWOOD: | You are both knights, yes? That's rare in Lycia. |
FIORA: | Yes, as children we decided that we would become pegasus knights. I
did not want to send my own child sister to war... But Ilia offered
few options other than the mercenary way. |
ELIWOOD: | I see. My father once told me of your homeland, long ago. The ground
of Ilia is covered year-round in the whitest snow, he said, and it
is a harsh life for the people who live there. Yet because Ilians
turn to being mercenaries, they are looked down upon--without
reason--by other lands. |
FIORA: | Yes... But there is nothing to be done about it. No matter how many
tears we shed, the snow will not melt. Better to fight for my
homeland and win honor that way, as a member of the pegasus knighs
of Ilia. |
ELIWOOD: | Fiora, I can tell you have a strong sense of responsibility. But do
not be too hard on yourself. Should you overwork yourself and fall,
you will end up with nothing. |
FIORA: | Yes... I would say the same to you, Lord Eliwood. |
Level A:
ELIWOOD: | Fiora. |
FIORA: | Yes, Lord Eliwood? |
ELIWOOD: | I had a thought while watching you fight. I feared you may be working
too hard. Resting is as important as fighting, remember. |
FIORA: | Thank you, my lord. But... I am a pegasus knight of Ilia. When I
think of the people of my homeland, I cannot but fight harder. |
ELIWOOD: | Still... |
FIORA: | My performance here reflects on all the knights of Ilia. The more
tasks I complete, the bigger the reward I bring home, and the happier
my people may live. |
ELIWOOD: | What about your happiness? |
FIORA: | What? |
ELIWOOD: | I know your homeland of Ilia is a poor land. And I know thoughts of
your sister weigh heavily in your mind. But do not forget you have a
right to happiness, too. Were you to become a sacrifice for your
country...that would not do. No one would be happy, then. |
FIORA: | Lord Eliwood... |
ELIWOOD: | Forgive me, perhaps it is not my place. Still, watching you... I
felt I had to say something. For someone as talented as yourself not
to find happiness... Well, that would be the greatest tragedy of
all. |
FIORA: | ... ... I must admit... This is the first time anyone has ever said
something like that to me. ... ... |
ELIWOOD: | ... ... |
FIORA: | But...let us not linger here overlong. |
ELIWOOD: | Yes... Yes, of course. |
FIORA: | I beg your leave. |
ELIWOOD: | Ah, wait a moment. Fiora! |
FIORA: | Yes? |
ELIWOOD: | I would like you to stay nearby, by my side. So that I can... So
that I may protect you. |
FIORA: | Lord Eliwood... Yes, I... I understand. |
