Chrom:
Hmm? Oh, hey, Sully.
Sully:
Hello, Chrom.
Chrom:
Are you here alone? I thought you'd be with Lissa and the rest of the women.
Sully:
Why, so I can make dinner for all the brave men? Nuts to that. I'll tend the fire.
Chrom:
That seems like a lot of hard work for one person.
Sully:
Would you rather I cook? Or sew? No thanks. I hate all that crap.
Chrom:
Huh. Well, I guess I understand. You don't seem like much of a... Er...
Sully:
What? A lady? Go ahead. Say it. No sweat off my thighs.
Chrom:
Okay then! I guess everyone has their own special talents. Say, I can't really cook or sew either. I can at least help with the fire?
Sully:
Har! You're all right, Chrom.

Chrom:
Oh, hey, Sully.
Sully:
Hello, Chrom.
Chrom:
Where are you taking all that equipment? Would you like some help?
Sully:
Pfft! This is nothing. I'm just trying to clean up around this craphole.
Chrom:
It seems like every time I see you, you're working like there's no tomorrow. Just try not to overdo it, all right? It's not worth it if you wear yourself out.
Sully:
Wear myself out? Har! That's the point, Chrom. This is part of my training regimen.
Chrom:
You're training to...clean a tent?
Sully:
Gods, but you're dense. I'm training my MUSCLES! Lugging stuff builds pure strength a hell of a lot faster than sparring. Also helps with balance and coordination. You know. All that crap.
Chrom:
Oh. I guess that makes sense. Plus the tent gets clean!
Sully:
Yeah, I've always been efficient like that. Any chance to train is a chance I'll take.
Chrom:
I bet you've built up some real strength. How about a little demonstration?
Sully:
Har! Come at me, little man. Just don't start crying when I wipe the floor with you.

Chrom:
Gnya! Yah!
Sully:
HURAAAAAGH! GRAAAAGH!
Chrom:
*Huff, huff* Haaaa... I'm...impressed, Sully. ...Whew! There's more force behind your strikes than ever. It's like trying to fend off a bear.
Sully:
*Huff, huff* Har... Thanks, Chrom. That means something, coming from you. Your defense is rock solid. It's like sparring with a damn wall. Guess you haven't been slacking either.
Chrom:
I was always taught that the best shortcut is the one you never take. Nothing for it but to put in the hours.
Sully:
Har! I remember that speech! Damn, that brings me back...
Chrom:
You remember playing bandit king? How we used to wallop each other with sticks?
Sully:
How much things have changed...and how much they haven't, har! But yeah, we played rough back then. Boys and girls alike. Remember how we used to sneak out of town to climb trees in the woods? Those were some damn good times...
Chrom:
Yes, we've come a long way, Sully, and yet we're still evenly matched.
Sully:
Damn straight! No way I'm letting some cheese-eating royal leave me in the dust. That's half the reason I train, you know? So you won't have the satisfaction.
Chrom:
Sully? I hope you never change. You're the only woman I can still do this with. You know that?
Sully:
That's because the other women decided to become a bunch of damn LADIES. Aw, hell. Some days I wonder if maybe I...
Chrom:
Oh no you don't. You're perfect, just as you are. I wouldn't change a thing, at least. We can spar. We can speak as equals. It's one small part of my past that's unchanged, and...it anchors me.
Sully:
...Are you messing with me? Well, hell, Chrom. If it works for you, I won't go changing for anybody else.
Chrom:
Good. See that you don't. ...That's an order.
Sully:
Pfft. Like I'd ever listen to you.

Sully:
Oh, Chrom! There you are.
Chrom:
What is it, Sully? Are you ready for another round of sparring?
Sully:
No. Not today, anyway.
Chrom:
Oh, all right. So what did you need?
Sully:
Look, you remember the other day when you said I was part of your past? You said I anchor you, and um... What did you mean by that?
Chrom:
What did I mean? Er, I guess... I don't know. I guess I just said what I was thinking without really...thinking. I don't want you to change for anyone, Sully. I want you to always be yourself. Sorry, I know that's pretty vague.
Sully:
No, it's good enough. You just... You accept me for who I am.
Chrom:
Yes, of course.
Sully:
But that's only because you see me as the same damn tomboy you knew as a kid! Other girls all went and became LADIES, but good ol' Sully's still one of the guys!
Chrom:
But I thought you liked being treated like one of the guys?
Sully:
Gods bless it, no! I'm not! I'm a woman, too, dammit! Yeah, maybe I can't cook, or clean, and I burn all the laundry, but...
Chrom:
Sully, what do you want to say?
Sully:
Rragh! I'm just... I don't... I like you. You know? Like...that. Like a girl...likes a guy?
Chrom:
...Oh.
Sully:
So, um, yeah. As a guy, do you think you might...feel the same? Maybe...forever?
Chrom:
Are you... Are you proposing to me?
Sully:
GAH! D-do you have to just come out and say it like that?! I've never asked anything like this before in my life, Chrom. You're killing me here!
Chrom:
I just had to be sure we were thinking the same thing. The answer is yes, Sully. Yes!
Sully:
What?!
Chrom:
You're offering to be with me, right? I'd be lying if I didn't say you feel like one of the guys sometimes, but so what? That just means we're more similar than most couples. It's hardly a bad thing.
Sully:
But I'm NOT a guy, you bastard! I'm asking you as a woman!
Chrom:
I know! I get it! And I'm saying yes as a man.
Sully:
R-really? Just like that?
Chrom:
It's all right for a woman to have skill in battle, you know? And last I checked, there's no law requiring laundry skills in order to marry. I care about you, Sully. I care about you a very great deal. I always have... I just hope you know what you're getting into. Carrying a nation on your shoulders is a massive responsibility. Half of that would fall on you. Are you sure it's a load you want to bear?
Sully:
Are you joking? Have you seen my shoulders? Anyone gives you trouble, Chrom, you just send 'em over to me.
Chrom:
Now that's the kind of rock-solid support a ruler needs! And so I pledge my support in return. For this day, and every day to come. ...Here. This is for you.
Sully:
Holy crap! A signet ring from the royal house of Ylisse! I don't know, Chrom. It looks so...extravagant.
Chrom:
My parents had it made for me when I was born. I've always kept it close, and I see no reason to change that now. The only difference is that it will now be attached to an even greater treasure.
Sully:
Chrom, it's... It's beautiful. Thank you.
Chrom:
Ha! Now I'm the one blushing. I suppose we'll have to get used to this. Good thing we have the rest of our lives.
Sully:
I may be your anchor, but right now I could just fly away! I...I love you, Chrom. I think I always have.
