Kjelle
This place is a mess. I really should straighten up more...often...
Is that a...AAAAAAAAAUGH!
Lucina
Gods, I've never seen Kjelle run so fast! Are we under attack?!
Kjelle! What happened back there? ...Are you all right?!
Kjelle
L-Lucinaaa!
Lucina
Breathe, Kjelle. Calm down and tell me what happened.
You have nothing to fear now that I'm here.
Kjelle
B-b-bug! A bug!
Lucina
...A bug? ...As in...an insect?
Kjelle
As in a huge, horrid nightmare, with repulsive, hairy legs... It's TERRIBLE!
Lucina
You're telling me all of your screaming and flailing was over an INSECT? *sigh*
I thought the Risen had come. You could have sent the camp into a panic.
Kjelle
AAAAAH! It's back! And it can fly?! S-stay back! Don't come close, fiend!
Lucina
Come now, I don't see what all the fuss i—EEEEEEK!
Kjelle
See? SEE?! It's the stuff of nightmares!
Now hurry up and kill it! Kill it with fire magic or what have you!
Lucina
Oh, no—I'm not going near that thing! It's HUGE!
Kjelle
WHAT?! What happened to having nothing to fear now that you're here?
How do you plan to save the future if you can't even fell one wretched insect?
Lucina
Those two things are not related in the slightest.
And what good is all your training if you're scared of a bug?
Kjelle
I've not trained for the horrors that come with touching something like that!
Look, you're the older one! You do it!
Father told you to protect your little sister, didn't he?
Lucina
Er, well, I suppose he did... *sigh* All right, I'll...do something about it.
Kjelle
I knew I could depend on you, Lucina! Three cheers for the once and future exalt!
Lucina
...You're a royal, too, you know? It wouldn't kill you to show a bit more spine.
Kjelle
Hey, now's your chance! It just crawled into a corner behind that shelf!
Lucina
It's too dark. I can't see it...
Kjelle
You'd best light up Falchion. Then once you spot it, strike!
Lucina
Falchion isn't some common pitchfork, Kjelle! It's a blade of legend!
Kjelle
All right, all right. At ease, Lucina. I'm sorry I...
AHHHHH! It's airborne again! Take cover!
Lucina
As formidable a foe as it may be, I won't allow it to set a single hairy leg on you!
Kjelle
Go, Lucina, go! GET HIM!
Chrom
What in the name of...? What are you two doing in here?!
Lucina
F-Father?
Kjelle
Father!
Chrom
Honestly, you two. All that commotion over a silly insect? What were you thinking?!
Kjelle
Sorry...
Lucina
I'm sorry, Father...
Chrom
Just see that it never happens again.
Kjelle
Of course he would be the one to get it. He's unshakable.
Lucina
It's true. Although he was a lot less calm when it came to scolding us...
Kjelle
Heh, are you still down about that? I actually had a lot of fun.
I can't remember the two of us ever getting in trouble like that before.
It felt like... I don't know, like we were a normal family for a second there.
Lucina
Heh. I confess, it did have its moments...
B Support
Lucina
...Kjelle.
Kjelle
Mmm?
Lucina
You know what I'm about to say, don't you?
Kjelle
...Be sure to wash Falchion after I'm finished cutting this apple?
Lucina
DON'T use Falchion to cut apples in the first place, you dolt!
Kjelle
Eep! S-sorry! I'm sorry!
Lucina
You had best be more than just sorry...
That sword is a national treasure of Ylisse and a final memento of my father.
Would you use the last earthly remembrance of your dead father to cut FRUIT?!
You've shamed the weapon that built your very homeland!
Kjelle
Well, you've seen for yourself how big the apple is. And with no other knives around...
B-besides, I've never really touched the sword before. I...I suppose I got curious.
Lucina
......
Kjelle
So, a-are you... Yes, you're angry.
Lucina
You've never held Falchion before?
Kjelle
Not really, no. In the future, you always kept it by your side.
And since we've been back here, I've maybe moved it from tent to tent once or twice.
Lucina
Then we don't know if you have the potential to wield it.
Kjelle
Wait, it takes a special person to use it?
Lucina
I see there is much you do not know.
This blade was forged with Naga's power and steeped in the exalt's bloodline.
Only a select few are able to wield it, even among the Ylissean royal house.
Kjelle
Huh. Quite particular, I see...
Though I'm not surprised you're one of them, Lucina.
Lucina
You may well be another, Kjelle.
I'm mortified we've come this far without ever putting it to the test.
Kjelle
Well, it would be quite an honor to wield such a divine weapon.
A powerful warrior with a mystical sword... It's the stuff dreams are made of!
Lucina
Mostly I'm ashamed I never stopped to consider it.
If you are, in fact, among Falchion's chosen, that is knowledge we need.
There may come a time when it proves necessary for you to take it up.
Kjelle
Like...if you're too busy?
Lucina
Like if I'm dead, Kjelle.
Having someone able to wield it even after I'm gone would be a considerable asset.
We must use any means at our disposal to ensure the future is saved.
Now let's go put it to the test.
Kjelle
......
Lucina
Kjelle?
Kjelle
Forget it. There's no way the sword would choose someone like me.
Lucina
You don't know that until you try.
You yourself just said you wished you were able to wield it. So let's—
Kjelle
I said NO! I'm not doing it! Don't make me...
Don't make me practice for your death, Lucina!
Lucina
...I understand how you feel, but we must be practical about this.
We cannot afford to lose this war. No matter what happens or who dies.
Kjelle
You think I don't know that?! But it's not... It's just not that simple for me, all right?
What, are you planning to leave me, too? First my parents and now you?
Lucina
Not by choice, Kjelle. Never by choice.
...But there are no guarantees in war.
Kjelle
And that's supposed to make me feel better?!
If it means you dying, I don't want anything to do with Falchion!
And if you make me try, I'll...I'll just use it to chop up more apples! Hmph!
This is pointless. I'm leaving.
Lucina
Kjelle...
She sure is stuck on this whole apple business...
A Support
Kjelle
Lucina, is this, uh... Do you have a minute?
Lucina
What's wrong, Kjelle? Why the serious face?
Kjelle
I want you to help me see whether or not I can wield Falchion.
Lucina
Huh? You were so dead set against it. What changed?
Kjelle
I did, I suppose. I thought about everything you said...
About how we need to win this war by any means necessary.
I was running away from that truth and from my duty as a child of the exalted bloodline.
But like you said, we need to be practical about this. ...So will you help me?
Lucina
Of course.
I'll make the necessary preparations immediately.
All right. I want you to strike at that log as if it were the enemy.
If you lack the potential to wield Falchion, its blade will be dull as a stone.
You will scarce knock the bark off your target.
However, if you are among the blade's chosen, the log will be cleft in two.
Kjelle
......
Lucina
Here. Take Falchion.
Kjelle
All right... Here we go...
Hey, wait. What am I going to do if this DOES work?
...No. I'll worry about that later. No more doubts. This is a part of my duty...
Here I go!
RrrAAAGH!
......
...Huh? I didn't feel anything.
Lucina
...The log is unscathed.
I'm sorry, Kjelle. It seems you've not been chosen to wield Falchion.
Kjelle
......
Lucina
Don't take it too hard. This doesn't change who you are.
You're still my sister, a daughter of Chrom, and a princess of Ylisse. Don't let this—
Kjelle
...Pffft. Heh heh ha ha ha!
Lucina
Kjelle?!
Kjelle
Ah ha ha ha, I'm s-sorry, it's just... I was so worked up, I...
I completely missed! I missed the log! Ah ha ha! How embarrassing!
Lucina
...Heh. Heh heh. *ahem* Do try to be serious, Sister. You're making me laugh... *Sigh* I suppose we both got a little too wrapped up in this whole Falchion matter. It wound up souring the air between us, almost as if we'd been quarrelling. I far preferred that night we got in trouble for the giant bug...
Kjelle
Oh, me too! ...Though at least this helped me firm up my resolve.
Not doing what I can out of fear that the people I love might die is just...cowardice.
If something should happen to you, I swear to keep fighting to the bitter end.
But I still have no intention of letting that happen. The pain is too much to imagine.
So let me protect you. It's the least your sister can do!
Lucina
I fear I, too, was running. I was afraid to make you a promise.
But no more. I swear to you, here and now, that this war will not claim me.
I refuse to leave you all alone, Sister, nor allow any harm to come to you.
We will survive this together. We will forge a future of our own making.
Kjelle
It's a promise!
Lucina
So it is sworn on Falchion.
...Oh, blast! I completely forgot that I'm on cooking duty tonight.
Sorry, but I must be going.
Kjelle
Ah, wait! Lucina, you forgot Falchion!
...So much for not leaving me all alone.
Guess it's just you and me, sword.
How's about one more swing for the road, seeing as I'll likely never touch you again?
Hrrngh... YAAAAH!
......
...Heh. Not a scratch.
You'd just better do a damned good job of looking after my sister, understand?
If Lucina dies, you're getting demoted to royal fruit knife. Don't think I won't do it!
...All right. I'd better get you back to her.
Chrom
...Hmm? What's this log? Was someone training?
Hmm, split perfectly in two. I've never seen such a clean cut before...
