C Support

Lucina:
Gerome?

Gerome:
Ah, Lucina.

Lucina:
I'm not intruding, am I? I don't want to disturb your rest.

Gerome:
It's fine. What do you want?

Lucina:
Well, nothing, really. I just came to say thank you.

Gerome:
For what?

Lucina:
You gave me your mask, remember? You said there might come a time where I would need to conceal my identity...

Gerome:
Ah. Yes. I remember.

Lucina:
Well, it was very prescient of you! The mask proved most useful. So again, thank you.

Gerome:
Think nothing of it.

B Support

Lucina:
*Sigh*

Gerome:
Something wrong, Lucina?

Lucina:
Oh, hello, Gerome...

Gerome:
What's the matter?

Lucina:
I've lost my pendant.

Gerome:
Oh? What manner of pendant?

Lucina:
It's carved with the likeness of my mother. It's very precious to me.

Gerome:
...Where was the last place you saw it?

Lucina:
I took it off while I was cleaning the supply tent. I didn't want it getting scratched.

Gerome:
I suppose you've already searched there?

Lucina:
Many times.

Gerome:
Then we should retrace your steps and see if we can't find it.

Lucina:
You'll help me look?

Gerome:
It's important to you, isn't it?

Lucina:
Yes, very much so. I simply... Thank you, Gerome.

Gerome:
Thank me when we find it.

A Support

Lucina:
Ah, Gerome. Perfect timing.

Gerome:
Oh? What for?

Lucina:
We're holding a war council, and I was hoping you might attend.

Gerome:
Sorry. I'm not much for group activity.

Lucina:
A pity. We could benefit from your calm, measured opinions. You have a keen mind for combat as well... Regardless, I will not force you.

Gerome:
I am sorry if I disappoint you. But I know my own limitations. I am not one for plans or speeches. I am a wolf that deals only in death.

Lucina:
Then we have something in common.

Gerome:
We do not. You are a leader who can inspire with both words and deeds. Though we fight alongside each other in the field, we play different roles.

Lucina:
You sell yourself short, sir.

Gerome:
The right tool for the right job. Isn't that what they say? You provide the inspiration and strategy. I will cut down any who dare oppose you.

Lucina:
There is a certain wisdom to what you say.

Gerome:
Don't sound so surprised... Now, I have some swords to sharpen, and I think you have a council to attend.

Lucina:
Farewell, Gerome. I shall look for you on the battlefield.

Gerome:
You needn't look far—I will stand beside you, as always.

S Support

Gerome:
Lucina? I need to speak with you.

Lucina:
What is it?

Gerome:
I...regret refusing your invitation to the war council. I am sorry.

Lucina:
You owe me no apologies, Gerome. I understand your thinking... "The right tool for the right job." We must all strive to perform our roles as best we can.

Gerome:
I know I said that, but I was mistaken.

Lucina:
...You were?

Gerome:
I want to help you in any way I can, Lucina.

Lucina:
I... Thank you, Gerome.

Gerome:
I have admired you for many long years. I would gladly die for you. But when you asked me to help in an unfamiliar way, I chose the craven's path. I hope you can forgive me.

Lucina:
Fine, you are forgiven! Then can we now please stop with this absurd apology? You've been my most stalwart companion ever since childhood, Gerome. And if anyone else named you craven, I would cut them down on the spot!

Gerome:
...Thank you, Lucina.

Lucina:
Lone wolf you may be, but there is no one I rely upon more in a battle. Besides, what you've shown here is as inspiring as any speech or grand tact—

Gerome:
Lucina, enough!

Lucina:
I beg your pardon?

Gerome:
I am no poet, Lucina, to woo you with honeyed words. I am a blunt measure of a man, so I know no other way to say this... ...I love you.

Lucina:
Oh, Gerome...

Gerome:
If truth be told, I've felt this way since I first laid eyes on you. But only after all these years have I finally found the courage to tell you.

Lucina:
But I have felt the same, Gerome, for so long! Did you never sense it?

Gerome:
You mean...we've both had this feeling? And since long ago?

Lucina:
Heh, I guess neither of us is regarded as one to display our emotions...

Gerome:
Then I regret our past, but we have our present and the future. Together.

Lucina:
We shall fight, and live, side by side from now until we draw our final breath.
