Cynthia:
There you are, Lucina! I've been looking for you!
Lucina:
Did you need something, Cynthia?
Cynthia:
I wanted to ask you a little favor.
Lucina:
If it's within my power, I am happy to assist.
Cynthia:
I want you to buddy up with me!
Lucina:
Buddy...up?
Cynthia:
If we put our heads together, we could come up with some killer team attacks! Like the Dual Grim Fandango! Or the Twin Butt-Kick of Doom!
Lucina:
I'm afraid such techniques aren't my style. I try not to attract undue attention on the battlefield, as a rule.
Cynthia:
But nailing a really flamboyant move would be a guaranteed morale booster!
Lucina:
Whose morale would be boosted, exactly?
Cynthia:
All of us! I mean, this is YOU we're talking about. You're Lucina! Daughter of the big cheese! EVERYONE wants to see you kick heinie!
Lucina:
You really think morale would be boosted if I "nailed a flamboyant move"?
Cynthia:
I'm shocked you even have to ask! You're like a shining ray of hope for us. Both as Chrom's kid AND a fighter! And with such a heroic role comes a responsibility to inspire your allies. A single word or action from you could turn the tide of an entire battle!
Lucina:
I suppose that does make a certain amount of sense...
Cynthia:
Which is EXACTLY why we need to get cracking on those moves!
Lucina:
...Very well. If doing so will help to cheer on the others, I'll begrudge no effort. I must admit this is a bit outside my purview, but I will try my best.
Cynthia:
This is gonna be GREAT! Okay, so leave everything to me. I'll come up with all your poses and victory lines and all that!
Lucina:
Poses and...victory lines?

Cynthia:
I hope you came prepared, Lucina. Today, we create our killer team moves!
Lucina:
I shall do my best.
Cynthia:
Hey, you need to loosen up! This isn't math class or whatever. You just need to remember the three As: aesthetics, appearances, and acrobatics!
Lucina:
I believe aesthetics and appearances are the same thing.
Cynthia:
Yes! Which is why it's DOUBLY important you start worrying about them!
Lucina:
...What exactly would you have me do?
Cynthia:
Okay, so first of all, you have to start waving Falchion around a lot more. You know how it sometimes lights up, right? We can't NOT use that. It's too awesome!
Lucina:
I cannot make my blade shine at will, Cynthia. Furthermore, I'm not sure it's appropriate to use Falchion as a prop in this pageantry.
Cynthia:
I TOLD you, this is to raise your allies' morale!
Lucina:
Are we conjuring mystical light purely for dramatic effect? ...Then it's pageantry.
Cynthia:
You're just saying that because you're still feeling bashful. But it's part of a leader's job to stand up and make inspiring speeches, right? Chrom does it all the time. Do you think he lets a little embarrassment get in his way? This is the same thing, except with boring ol' words replaced by glowing swords!
Lucina:
...It still feels like I'm being badgered into this. Which is why it's so frustrating that what you say holds to a curious sort of logic.
Cynthia:
Okay, so I'm gonna pretend that's a compliment and just get on with things. Anyway, here's a diagram of the first maneuver I came up with.
Lucina:
So then... We both jump into a full spin... We cross paths in midair... You shout "Shooting Stars!" as I begin to swirl my hair in a figure-eight pattern... ...And we're to do all this in actual combat?!
Cynthia:
Yup! So we'd better get practicing!
Lucina:
I stand corrected. This isn't pageantry—it's a sideshow from a traveling circus.

Lucina:
Er... C-come forth...light of justice?
Cynthia:
You're not selling it! What happened to the bold warrior-goddess Lucina I know? You're fearless in combat—how can you be afraid of a few lines of dialogue?!
Lucina:
I'm sorry. It's just... It IS rather embarrassing.
Cynthia:
Only because you're not putting your heart into it! If you really belt it out, you'll be surprised how convincing it sounds! It's called "method acting," and it's all the rage among theater folk nowadays.
Lucina:
If you say so...
Cynthia:
Trust me, I've been doing this all my life. Now, did you rehearse—er, train for the part where you land and Falchion glows? The timing is really key here. Fwoomp, THEN zing! It's got to be perfect.
Lucina:
It's proved even more difficult than I thought, I'm afraid. Forgive me.
Cynthia:
Yeah, but the glowing sword thing is kind of central to this move. ...Riiiiight?
Lucina:
But it's not as though the light serves any actual purpose in the attack.
Cynthia:
You know, maybe it's that defeatist attitude that's keeping Falchion from lighting up!
Lucina:
I'll thank you to avoid such accusations.
Cynthia:
Okay, then think of it like this...
Lucina:
*Sigh* Yes...?
Cynthia:
My mother used to tell me a story as a girl. One set in the age of the great King Marth. There were three sisters who were pegasus knights, and unrivaled in battle or beauty!
Lucina:
It sounds like a typical enough cradle tale so far...
Cynthia:
When faced with a great challenge, they joined three as one for their Triangle Attack! By harnessing their combined strength, they were able to slay any enemy!
Lucina:
Any foe?
Cynthia:
They say even the most fearsome foe fell before the Triangle Attack! And every team attack since has been an attempt to recapture that awesome power!
Lucina:
Hmm... Well, if it truly holds such practical potential, it does seem worth mastering...
Cynthia:
And I'm nothing if not practical, right? Now, back to making your sword glow!
Lucina:
Right, then. Maybe this won't be such a waste of time after all!
Cynthia:
I knew you'd come around eventually! Now, the first step is getting to a point where you can make Falchion glow at will.
Lucina:
If that's what it takes to arrive at a powerful new attack, I shall spare no effort!
Cynthia:
Listen to you! I don't know about the others, but MY morale is through the roof! This is so hero-y! The only thing we're missing now is some epic music! We are the best...team...ever! Dum dum duuuuuum!
Lucina:
Come forth, light of justice!
Cynthia:
Again! More intensity!
Lucina:
COME FORTH, LIGHT OF JUSTICE!
