Yarne:
...Pulse? Check. ...Arms? Check. ...Legs? Check! Whew! Looks like I'm all here. Ugh. Why do I keep fighting if I'm going to be such a coward about it?!
Lucina:
Yarne? Is something wrong? You look upset.
Yarne:
Oh, hey. No, I'm fine. I was just, uh... Reflecting on the horrors of war.
Lucina:
I often do the same. Thinking how everyone is suffering each day we let it continue... Farmers are slain in their fields, merchants are robbed, children become orphans...
Yarne:
Actually, I meant the part where everybody's trying to kill me. My life's worth no more than the next guy's. I know that, but... It's still a lot of pressure being the last of an entire race.
Lucina:
I can only imagine.
Yarne:
Don't get me wrong... I'm scared, but I still want to help. I'll keep fighting. I just...really don't...want to, is all. ...Heh. Pretty sad, I know.
Lucina:
So be it.
Yarne:
Er, so be what, exactly?
Lucina:
I will cover your back. From now, you need only worry about foes in front of you.
Yarne:
What?
Lucina:
I swear to keep you safe. That way, perhaps you can fight without fear.
Yarne:
Lucina, everyone else is out there fighting on their own. I feel terrible asking, but... That would be such a great relief! ...Thank you.
Lucina:
I'm happy to do all I can to ease an ally's mind. Thank you for opening up to me. I'm honored by your trust.
Yarne:
Not at all!
Lucina:
I should be going. I'll see you, Yarne.
Yarne:
...Oh, what am I doing?! Gods, why not just ask her to babysit you, you big coward?! This is a new low, even for me...

Yarne:
...Ow! For a shallow cut, my arm sure doesn't want to heal up... Still really hurts, too. I knew I saw someone behind that tree, but nooo! I had to go charge in like an idiot... Ah, well. I'm still alive, and the arm'll heal. I'll count my blessings.
Lucina:
Might I have a minute, Yarne?
Yarne:
Sure. What is it?
Lucina:
I wanted to see how you're recovering.
Yarne:
What, this? I'm fine, thanks. I'm sorry you had to see me fall for such an obvious ambush. I was doing so well, too. But you know me! It's not a battle if I don't screw up...
Lucina:
That's not true at all... But I'm just glad you weren't more seriously injured. I promised I would watch your back, and now... I am so, so sorry, Yarne.
Yarne:
What?! No! Don't apologize. We're at war! Nicks and scratches are bound to happen!
Lucina:
Still...
Yarne:
It's very kind of you, Lucina, but I'm the one who needs to shape up, not you. Heh, next time I'll show 'em this rabbit's no easy prey! Give 'em the ol' taguel one-two!
Lucina:
Just, please...
Yarne:
Hmm?
Lucina:
Please be careful. Don't do anything rash. In the last battle, it almost seemed like you were trying to protect me...? I'll be twice the fool if you get hurt trying to keep me safe while I try to keep you safe!
Yarne:
Well, I can't just sit back and let you do all the work. And I can't keep you all to myself. The others need your help, too. Plus, I want to keep you safe as much as you want to keep me safe. We're friends!
Lucina:
No, of course. That's all true, but...
Yarne:
Believe me, I'm not eager to get hurt either. I'll do my best to stay out of trouble.
Lucina:
And I'll do my best to keep trouble away from you.

Yarne:
Are you all right?!
Lucina:
Yarne?
Yarne:
Holy carrots, your leg! Did you get that trying to protect me?
Lucina:
No, I was just a bit careless. I, er...let my attention slip for a moment, and they were quick with a blade. That's all. It's mostly healed, besides. You needn't worry yourself over it.
Yarne:
You're a terrible liar, you know that? After my arm got hurt, you've been guarding me nonstop. It's obvious. What happened to our promise not to do anything crazy, hmm?
Lucina:
Er, I didn't... Don't be mad.
Yarne:
I'm not mad at you, but I'm furious with myself!
Lucina:
Yarne, no! Don't be. I really was careless. This is no one's fault but my own.
Yarne:
...Heh. Ha ha ha!
Lucina:
Is...something funny?
Yarne:
It's just... The two of us, taking hits for each other. Then we both protest that it's all our fault and that the other shouldn't feel guilty. I don't know, it just struck me as funny. We're some pair, you and me.
Lucina:
Heh, I suppose it IS a little silly. But a part of me thinks that's the way it should be for allies.
Yarne:
You think?
Lucina:
Sure. Helping each other... Making sacrifices... Accepting responsibility for our failings and helping each other learn from them... That sounds like the ideal ally to me.
Yarne:
When you put it like that, it does. I guess we're doing pretty well.
Lucina:
Very well, I should think! You can continue to count on me to watch your back!
Yarne:
And on me to watch yours!

Lucina:
Yarne!
Yarne:
Hm? What is it? Everything all right? You're all worked up.
Lucina:
I've just been so impressed with your performance in combat lately! I had to come and tell you!
Yarne:
Wow, I... Thanks, Lucina. The old rabbit "run for your life" instinct is still there, but I feel like I'm getting better.
Lucina:
You're a whole different person out there! It's amazing to witness.
Yarne:
Aw, you're exaggerating. But I'm glad. ...... So, um... If I've been doing so well, do I get a reward?
Lucina:
Hah! Of course, you name it! If it's within my power, it's yours.
Yarne:
W-will you be my girl?!
Lucina:
...What?
Yarne:
I always hated being a coward and a burden on everyone else. I wanted to change, but... It wasn't until we started watching out for each other that I learned how. You taught me what real strength is, and I learn more from you every day... But I've got a long way to go, and that's where you come in...
Lucina:
Yarne...
Yarne:
I love you, Lucina! You make me a better taguel, on the field and off. I want to be with you always...
Lucina:
...I would like that very much, Yarne.
Yarne:
You would? Really?!
Lucina:
You've become so brave, so dedicated... It's true that when we first met, you were like as not to turn and run. But watching you conquer your fear has been an inspiration to me.
Yarne:
Huh...
Lucina:
Seeing you grow has filled me with pride, as much as if it were my own improvement. I want to keep sharing in your life, and I want you to share in mine. So yes, Yarne. ...I love you, too.
Yarne:
Ha! After hearing that, I feel like I just grew about a hundred times stronger! With you by my side, I'll become a real warrior yet!
