Benny: Um...
Oboro: Aaaah! Did that boulder just talk?! Wait, that's no boulder... That's a man!
Benny: You're...Oboro, right?
Oboro: Yeah. And your name was, um, Benny?
Benny: Yes.
Oboro: OK. I don't think we've actually met before. But I've seen you fight, and it's nice to have a bruiser like you on our side.
Benny: Um. Are you sure? The look on your face says something else.
Oboro: Oh, sorry. I just get like this whenever I catch the slightest whiff of Nohr. I hate Nohr and everyone in it. But don't worry—I'll get used to you eventually.
Benny: ...
Oboro: What?
Benny: Nothing... So...you always look like that when you're talking to a Nohrian?
Oboro: Nah. Like I said, once I know they mean no harm, I go back to normal. Although...it doesn't seem to be happening today... Have you got an ambush up your sleeve?
Benny: N-no...I'd never do that.
Oboro: Really? Huh. Well, we have to work together, so here's hoping this is fixed next time I see you. See you around.
(Oboro leaves)
Benny: ... That was terrifying... I've never seen anyone before who looked scarier than me.

Benny: ...
Oboro: Hello, Benny.
Benny: Gaaah! That face again!
Oboro: Huh? Oh, sure enough. That's weird.
Benny: I thought you said you wouldn't do it anymore once you were used to me...
Oboro: I thought I wouldn't. This is very strange. We have no problem fighting together, so I don't understand what's wrong. For some reason, I just can't...stop... Uh, Benny?
Benny: Aaah! Wh-what?
Oboro: Why are you pointing your weapon at me?
Benny: B-because...I-I...
Oboro: Are you actually afraid of me?
Benny: D-d-d-don't be silly...
Oboro: Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking. How could a big guy like you be scared of a little girl like me? Which means... You were going to attack me!
Benny: N-no! I swear!
Oboro: Then why is your weapon still out?!
Benny: Um...
Oboro: PUT IT AWAY!
Benny: Y-yes, ma'am!
Oboro: Now, look at me. Keep staring until you don't find me scary anymore.
Benny: Y-you're not scary... Not scary...
Oboro: Deep breaths... Phew. Finally back to normal. See? I was right. You were scared of me. I think that's what was setting me off. I'm super sensitive about any negative emotions from Nohrians.
Benny: Oh. Sorry...
Oboro: It's natural to be scared during combat, but try to keep it together apart from that. If you can't... I won't be able to help myself.
Benny: Aaaah! Gaaaaaaaaaaah!
Oboro: Uh-oh... I'm stuck this way again. You're kind of a coward, huh, Benny?

Benny: Oboro...
Oboro: Benny? What is it?
Benny: You don't look so scary today.
Oboro: That's because you got over your fear of me. As long as we're just having a friendly chat, I'm fine!
Benny: OK... Good thing I made lots of charms.
Oboro: Charms?
Benny: I always take my handmade charms into battle with me. With these in my pockets, I don't have to be afraid of anything.
Oboro: Interesting. You like to make things, huh? Wait...you said you made a lot of charms? How many charms did you need to work up the nerve to come see me...?
Benny: ... Um, well...
Oboro: Benny!
Benny: Gyaaaaah!
Oboro: ...Heehee. Gotcha.
Benny: D-don't even joke. I have nightmares about that face...
Oboro: Oh, sorry. So let's see these charms you made!
Benny: They look like this...
Oboro: Wow, is this made out of crystals? This one looks like a tiny doll... Did you use animal bones for this one? Nohrian charms are so strange.
Benny: Are they different in Hoshido?
Oboro: There are some that look like these. But our charms usually come in a little pouch, with paper seals or spirit stones. Every one is unique as far as what it's made out of. I've always been fascinated with them, coming from a line of tailors and all. Sometimes if I have fabric left over from a project, I'll make a charm or two.
Benny: I see. I'd be interested in taking a look at your charms.
Oboro: Sure! We can swap next time we see each other. I'll make a Hoshido-style one, and you make one like they do in Nohr.
Benny: Easy. But...you're sure you want a Nohrian charm?
Oboro: It's not a problem. I hate Nohr and everything they stand for, but you—you're my friend!
Benny: O-OK...
Oboro: I can't wait to get started on mine. And hey, I bet carrying both Nohrian and Hoshidan charms will bring twice the luck!
Benny: I hope so...

Benny: Oboro...
Oboro: Hey, Benny! Thanks for that charm you made. The crystals you used were nice and sparkly.
Benny: I'm glad you liked it. The charm you gave me made me braver than usual.
Oboro: Good! I'm glad it helped.
Benny: ...
Oboro: Benny? What's wrong?
Benny: I actually made another charm today. Here...
Oboro: A ring? Do these count as good-luck charms in Nohr too?
Benny: Oh...um... Not exactly. If you wear that, you'll be protected. By me.
Oboro: Huh?
Benny: It's an engagement ring. If you were my fiancée, I'd always protect you... B-because I love you, Oboro.
Oboro: Benny...?
Benny: But you hate everything from Nohr. And I'm a Nohrian. So that's that. I'll understand if you want to give it back. I just had to show how I felt about you...
Oboro: Oh, Benny... Look at you. You're a mess! You're shaking like a leaf. Are you that scared that I'll say no?
Benny: N-no, um...
Oboro: ...Because I won't. I'd never reject you. I love you too, Benny.
Benny: ...Oh!
Oboro: I'll always blame Nohr for my parents' death. That'll never change. But I love you. Really love you. I don't think I'll ever find anyone as kind as you anywhere else.
Benny: Oboro... You don't know how happy that makes me.
Oboro: Benny! You're too big to start blubbering. Now put the ring on me!
Benny: OK. Whew. It's a perfect fit.
Oboro: Now THIS is a good-luck charm! It's already making my life better, haha.
Benny: ...
Oboro: I certainly feel lucky to get to spend the rest of my life with you.
Benny: This ring represents a promise. My promise to keep you safe and happy to the end of your days.
