Cynthia:
Yarne! How's it going this fine— Hey, why the long face?

Yarne:
Have you come here to chew me out like everybody else?

Cynthia:
What? Why would I do that? And wait, why would THEY do that? What did you do?

Yarne:
It's what I didn't do, which is fight. In case you didn't notice, I spent most of the last battle running and hiding. They have every right to be mad at me. Frankly, I'm surprised you aren't.

Cynthia:
What, is that all? Why would I be mad?

Yarne:
Huh? You mean...you're not?

Cynthia:
Come on, I'm not the type to hassle someone for something like that! I walk the hero's path—I defend the weak by defeating the wicked! So I can't very well get MAD at the weak, now can I? You're fine just as you are. Besides, without cravens like you, I'd be out of a job!

Yarne:
H-hey! That's not... Oh, who am I kidding. Yes I am. Mostly, I'm just surprised to hear you say I'm all right the way I am. You're the only one who thinks so. So, yeah. Thanks.

Cynthia:
Aw, come on, buddy. Smile! As a hero, I'm not allowed to leave the scene until you're wearing a grin.

Yarne:
R-right. I'll try.

Yarne:
I still can't stop the trembling... Why does war have to be so scary?

Cynthia:
Hey, it's Yarne! Aww, are you down again? What happened this time?

Yarne:
Same as always... Whenever I stare down an enemy, my legs just lock up on me. Heh heh... Pathetic, isn't it? I'm always shouting about how I'm the last taguel, and how I can't afford to die, but... The reality is that I'm just a big chicken. Bawk, bawk.

Cynthia:
Hey, combat can be scary even for the best of us! But if that's who you are, just accept it! We weren't all born to be fighters.

Yarne:
But I WANT to fight! I'm tired of feeling so pathetic. Everyone else is fighting with everything they've got, and I'm still turning tail.

Cynthia:
Well then, if you want it that bad, maybe you can work through the fear.

Yarne:
You think I haven't been trying to do that this whole time?

Cynthia:
Well, maybe you've been doing it wrong! I bet I know a way!

Yarne:
What is it?

Cynthia:
You should become a hero!

Yarne:
A...hero?

Cynthia:
Yeah! A hero just like me! I mean, I'm still in training myself, but you could join me! It'll be totally great!

Yarne:
Sounds like a tall order for a coward...

Cynthia:
Pffft! All you have to do is stand up to evil and help anyone who needs helping. If you follow those two rules, anyone can become a hero!

Yarne:
Just because it's simple doesn't mean it's easy... The heroes you hear bards sing about have fought in hundreds of epic battles.

Cynthia:
You've got at least a few under your belt already, and there's plenty more to come. All you need is the will to act!

Yarne:
You really think I can be a hero? Just...poof? Just like that?

Cynthia:
If you believe it, ANYTHING is possible!

Yarne:
Well...a positive outlook and a goal certainly couldn't hurt... And it's not like I could get any LESS brave...

Cynthia:
Great! Then from now on, you'll be my faithful ward! With enough work, I might even promote you to sidekick!

Yarne:
Er, that sounds like...a deal?

Yarne:
Ah, Cynthia!

Cynthia:
What's up, Yarne?

Yarne:
I just wanted to thank you.

Cynthia:
For what?

Yarne:
That talk about heroes.

Cynthia:
I should be thanking you! I always wanted a ward. How's it going, anyway?

Yarne:
Well, I decided it was a little ambitious to just charge into battle like a true hero. That's why I decided to start with baby steps.

Cynthia:
Explain yourself, ward!

Yarne:
I was in town the other day, and I saw this scrawny kid getting picked on. I stopped the bullies from their deeds and gave them a stern talking to. And they actually thanked me!

Cynthia:
...Wait, who thanked you? The ne'er-do-wells?

Yarne:
Yeah! It was the strangest thing. They all said what I did was "really great, man." I didn't know how to react... But I can see the appeal of doing this sort of thing. The adulation is addictive!

Cynthia:
Ah ha ha ha! I bet you're already a full-fledged hero to those kids!

Yarne:
This must be how heroes are born... People decide to do what's right, and then their actions trickle down to all. I know I'm still holding everyone else back in combat, but I'm going to fix that! I want to be someone those kids can look up to and admire!

Cynthia:
Ha ha! You have the right of it, ward! Just remember, as a hero it's also your job to keep a smile on everyone's face.

Yarne:
Er, right! I'll...work on that part.

Cynthia:
Ha ha! Keep this up and I might let you borrow the Justice Wagon!

Cynthia:
Hail, Bunny Boy!

Yarne:
Er, what?

Cynthia:
You haven't heard? That's what they're calling you!

Yarne:
People are calling me that? But people don't even know I exist!

Cynthia:
Well, all the kids in the town sure do! At first, I wasn't sure who they were talking about. But when you think about it, there's only one guy who fits that description.

Yarne:
You really think they mean me? I had no idea.

Cynthia:
My little ward's all grown up into a sidekick! I couldn't be more proud! ...Even if you HAVE been upstaging me lately.

Yarne:
Um, I don't think—

Cynthia:
Then why don't I have a nickname yet? Huh? Every kid in town was singing the praises of Bunny Boy, ally to all!

Yarne:
Ally to all, huh...? I... I am Yarne, avenger of the taguel and ally to all! Have at you, demon! See if you're brave enough to face Bunny Boy! ...Was that too goofy?

Cynthia:
Are you kidding? That was amazing! I got chills, Yarne! But that's so unfair! I want a title! I want to give awesome entrance speeches, too!

Yarne:
I always thought they were silly, but it actually feels pretty good. But this isn't about speeches or praise! It's about making a world safe for all...

Cynthia:
Wow, you ARE getting good at this!

Yarne:
And I want... I want to be your hero, too, Cynthia! I want to fight for the future together! I want to stay by your side!

Cynthia:
Er, you mean as a sidekick, right? Or is this...

Yarne:
Um, no. This would be...the other thing.

Cynthia:
Oh my gosh, that'd be even MORE amazing!

Yarne:
R-really? Then, you don't mind...?

Cynthia:
You're totally my hero right now!

Yarne:
I am? Yeeeeeesss!

Cynthia:
You can be my hero, and I'll be yours! And then together we'll be everyone else's! We're going to become a legendary crime-fighting duo! ...But wait, I'm gonna need a name.

Yarne:
Er, I don't think you quite understand the gravity of my propos—

Cynthia:
I've got it! I am Cynthia, the...the Pigtailed Pugilist! No, wait! The Pigtailed PUNISHER!

Yarne:
Heh. Well, you wouldn't be you if you weren't a little up in the clouds... Come, my faithful companion! Let's go serve up some hot justice together!
