Lucina:
Tiki? How does the day find you?

Tiki:
Perfectly well, Lucina. Why do you ask?

Lucina:
I just wanted to say, if there's anything I can help with, please let me know.

Tiki:
Very kind of you. But I'm fine for the moment.

Lucina:
Ah, of course. Sorry to disturb you. It's just... Well, IF you ever need help, I want to be there first!

Tiki:
I'm very grateful for your concern, Lucina. Truly I am. But remember that you are an important part of this army. Your first duty must be to your fellow soldiers. ...Especially as you once dared take the great name of Marth as your own.

Lucina:
That was perhaps...rash of me. You knew him, didn't you? The great King Marth? What was he like?

Tiki:
...You did not investigate this before you took his name?

Lucina:
Only the legends. I called myself Marth to feel closer to him. I've always yearned to know what he was really like—the man behind the deeds.

Tiki:
Your enthusiasm seems sincere enough. Very well, I will tell you about him. ...But not today. Perhaps the next time we meet.

Lucina:
Oh, thank you, Tiki! I would hear all there is to tell!

Lucina:
Greetings, Tiki.

Tiki:
And greetings to you, Lucina.

Lucina:
I was hoping that today you might be able to tell me about King Marth?

Tiki:
You are certainly persistent in your curiosity...

Lucina:
It's more than idle curiosity. I should know more of the man whose name I once took as my own. Who was the real Marth? Are the stories of his deeds true? What was he like?

Tiki:
One thing I can tell you is that he treasured his friends like no one else I've known. He was kind, considerate, and calm. And despite his station, quick with a smile.

Lucina:
Really?!

Tiki:
You sound surprised...

Lucina:
I just didn't expect the mighty King Marth to be so...er, nice.

Tiki:
And how DID you imagine him?

Lucina:
The Marth of history led the liberators and smashed the power of evil dragons! He brought peace to the entire world at the edge of a sword. He must've been a fierce, unforgiving man who struck fear in friend and foe alike! How could he not have been, when he was forced to wage such a terrible war?

Tiki:
...I suppose he was unforgiving—at least when it came to himself. He never stopped looking for a way to lead the world to peace. And every victim and sacrifice on that path haunted him...

Lucina:
It sounds much like our own quest. There must be so much to be learned from him...

Tiki:
His journey was dogged by setbacks and troubles. People did not understand his motives. He was deserted, and even betrayed. How he suffered! The struggles he faced would have crushed a lesser man. But they just made Marth stronger. That is why he became the Hero-King.

Lucina:
He achieved the impossible, just as we must. No matter how steep or dangerous our path becomes, we will prevail! ...We must.

Tiki:
Remember that Marth was an ordinary man long before he became legend. That's why he knew he couldn't do it alone. And why he needed the help of allies.

Lucina:
The hero of legend had help?

Tiki:
Of course he did! Behind every great man stands a host of friends and comrades. You want to win a war? Then you must learn to inspire warriors and win their trust.

Lucina:
THAT'S why he was kind and considerate! He needed the best to stand by him.

Tiki:
Yes, and the best loved him for it. Lucina, you can do it, too. You remind me of him—you inspire trust and even love among your comrades. As long as you never give up, I have no doubt you will honor the name of Marth.

Lucina:
You honor me... Thank you, Tiki.

Lucina:
HIYARGH! YAH! Unnngh...GAH!

Tiki:
Working on your fencing, I see.

Lucina:
I was just finishing my drills.

Tiki:
I saw you helping out earlier, serving the soldiers their meals.

Lucina:
I had some free time, so I thought I'd pitch in.

Tiki:
And before that, you were helping unload the wagons...

Lucina:
Well. I'm stronger than I look. Those crates are no problem for me.

Tiki:
And before that, you went to market to purchase supplies. Honestly, it's hard to find a job or chore you're not helping out with. It's a fine thing you're doing, trying to build bonds of friendship and trust... But it will all be in vain if you work yourself into the sickbed.

Lucina:
Oh, I'm fine. Truly. I can handle it.

Tiki:
...You're trying to emulate King Marth, aren't you? By winning the trust of the other soldiers, you hope to become a great leader.

Lucina:
What? No! Not at all... Th-this is just how I am. Besides, I doubt legendary warriors wasted time cooking stews and going shopping...

Tiki:
(...She builds trust and wins allies without even thinking about it...) (Could she truly be...?!)

Lucina:
I beg your pardon, Tiki? Were you saying something?

Tiki:
Apologies. I was lost in thought. But, Lucina, I must tell you something. Taking the name of Marth was a fateful decision of great import.

Lucina:
How so?

Tiki:
I cannot be sure of your intention in taking the name... But few dare compare themselves to a legend...and this set you on a path. The name evokes envy and hope in others, and burdens you with their expectations. Like it or not, you carry that weight now. The only question is—will it crush you?

Lucina:
I never realized...

Tiki:
Can you carry the hopes and dreams—the demands of so many?

Lucina:
I...don't know. I know I can't ever be like the real Marth. No one can. But if it's true what you say, and people have started to look to me... Then I shall never rest until every friend has achieved their dream!

Tiki:
Good. You know the nature of your task—this is the key to victory.

Lucina:
I have you to thank for opening my eyes. I won't let you—or anyone—down.

Tiki:
I believe you mean this. But remember your allies when you face your greatest challenges! A true hero knows when to admit she cannot go it alone.

Lucina:
I will take your words to heart. We will all win this war, together.

Tiki:
Spoken as Marth might have himself...
