Gaius:
Yarne, why are you staring at me like that? Do I have sugar on my face?
Yarne:
I'm trying to read your face and find out if you're cheating on Mother.
Gaius:
What?! Cheating? I'd never do such a thing! I've been faithful to Panne since the day I proposed!
Yarne:
Oh, all right then... IF you're telling the truth...
Gaius:
Why would you think I was cheating?! ...Is someone spreading rumors?
Yarne:
Nope. The idea just popped into my head the other day. You see, I got to thinking... What would happen to me if you suddenly decided Mother wasn't good enough?
Gaius:
Huh?
Yarne:
See, I'd been assuming that all I had to do was make sure you both stayed alive. Eventually you'd have me, and poof! My existence would be guaranteed. But that would all change if you left Mother for another woman before I was born. The very instant you made the decision, I would just wink out of existence! The thought of it sends a chill down my spine. Brrrrrr...
Gaius:
...I suppose you've got a point.
Yarne:
So I'm going to be keeping a VERY close eye on you to make sure you toe the line!
Gaius:
Now hold on just one minute!
Yarne:
Don't worry, I'll make an exception for temporary dalliances during battle. ...Just so long as the fraternizing STAYS on the battlefield! Anyway, I've got to be going. But remember: I'm watching you!
Gaius:
...The heck was all that about?

Yarne:
Ah. Hello, Father.
Gaius:
What's wrong, Yarne? You look like someone stole your dessert.
Yarne:
Thirteen yesterday, eight the day before. You know what I'm talking about?
Gaius:
Um... The number of sweets I ate per hour?
Yarne:
NO! The number of times you spoke to a woman who WASN'T my mother! To think I actually believed you when you said you had no intention of cheating! You have no self-control at all, and I'm going to vanish as a result! I just know it!
Gaius:
Yarne, relax. I was just being polite. Pleasantries and tactics and such.
Yarne:
It sounded like more than that to me! Remember, taguel have excellent hearing.
Gaius:
*Sigh* Believe me, I know all about that... But you have to understand, I must talk to my fellow soldiers—men and women both. When you're in the thick of a battle, it's vital you know who you're fighting with. I mean, what if someone said you couldn't talk to Lucina ever again?
Yarne:
...Well, I guess that would be a problem.
Gaius:
I'm glad you understand. But I wish you would just trust me when I say I would never cheat on your mother!
Yarne:
Well, you say that now... And perhaps you even mean it now... But what about the future? How do I know you'll never change your mind? I mean, you once promised me that you'd return home...but you never did...
Gaius:
...Ah.
Yarne:
...Er, forget I said that. It doesn't matter. I won't spy on you anymore. But if you break another promise and cheat on Mother, I won't ever forgive you!
Gaius:
...Hmm, I think I understand now. In Yarne's future, I die and become the memory of a broken promise...

Gaius:
There you are, Yarne. I was looking for you.
Yarne:
What do you want, Father? I told you, I won't spy on you anymore.
Gaius:
That's not why I wanted to see you. I...want to apologize. In the future, I promised to come back to you and...I didn't. I'm sorry.
Yarne:
What does it matter if YOU apologize?! It wasn't YOU who abandoned me! It was a different you from a different time!
Gaius:
Yeah, I understand that. And I also know you're not my son. ...Not exactly, anyway.
Yarne:
......
Gaius:
We're not just from different times, but from different versions of time. And yet I think of you as my family all the same. I hope to give you the things that the father in your future couldn't. ...That is what you want, isn't it?
Yarne:
I...I guess it is, yes. I know it's not right, but I can't help but think of you as my father. That's why I get scared whenever you talk to other women. I couldn't bear the thought of you leaving Mother and being someone else's father. It would be like losing him all over again.
Gaius:
Yarne, what if I made another promise? I swear by all I hold dear that I'll survive and that I won't ever abandon your mother. I love you both more than anything in this world. I would do anything for you.
Yarne:
I...I don't know what to say. Except...thank you. Because this time, I believe you'll keep your promise.
Gaius:
Great.
Yarne:
Phew! Now maybe I can relax and stop worrying about vanishing from history... You're such a great father! Who's a good father? Yes, whooo's a good father?!
Gaius:
I appreciate the thought, Yarne, but is the whole dog-petting thing really necessary?
