Heroes of Light and Shadow Base: Abel and Est
Base conversations
Abel and Est 1
Est:
Abel!
Abel:
Est, you haven't been in an actual battle for a while. Try not to
overdo it.
Est:
I told you I'm alright! Sure, I'm not at my peak, but my skill as a
former Whitewing hasn't faded just yet. But nevermind me, Abel, I
don't want you to get hurt, either. If you'd like, I could let you
ride my pegasus. That way, you wouldn't get a scratch on you.
Abel:
You said it. I used to be an Altean knight, you know. They called me
"Abel the Black Panther." No mere soldier could possibly hope to
defeat me. Hmm... If I were to ride with you though, I'd be able to
protect you...
Est:
Eh? ...Oh dear. Sorry, Abel. I, um, don't think that he wants you to
ride him.
Abel:
I-I see. I knew it; so he really does hate me... Even back home,
he'd go out of his way to savage me each time I tried to touch him.
Est:
You ending up getting kicked all the time too... Heehee, you were so
certain that you'd need to get along with him in order to be family
with me.
Abel:
And in the end, I couldn't even pat his head...
Abel and Est 2
Est:
Sigh...
Abel:
What's wrong, Est? Why the long face?
Est:
Oh... Abel. No, it's nothing. I was just thinking about stuff.
Abel:
...I see. That's okay then.
Est:
Say, Abel... Once this war is over, will things--will we really be
able to go back to how we used to be?
Abel:
Of course. In fact, I'm sure we'll be happier than before. We'll
expand the shop, have children...
Est:
Oh... yeah. Yeah, that's right. Of course.
Abel:
Est...? Are you really alright? That isn't the smile I'm accustomed
to. Are you forcing yourself, Est?
Est:
Ahaha, 'c-course not. But anyway, Abel. What do you think we should
name our child?
Abel:
Ah, yes. Let's see...
Abel and Est 3
Est:
Sigh... What should... I do...?
Abel:
Est, my love! So you were here.
Est:
Abel, what is it? You look so flustered.
Abel:
I heard from Prince Marth. You've been terribly worried about
something, haven't you? What is it, dear? If there's something the
matter, tell me.
Est:
...Say, Abel. Why did you fall in love with me?
Abel:
T-that's uh... rather sudden.
Est:
Please, Abel. I must know.
Abel:
Good grief... It was so... natural, I never gave it a second
thought.
Est:
...
Abel:
Ah, are you crying!? I'm sorry, I'll answer properly this time!
Err...
Est:
Abel, thank you. It's okay.
Abel:
Eh?
Est:
That... was more than enough. I get it. Hey, scoot closer. Now...
Just for now, hold me tightly in your arms.
Abel:
Est... We'll always be together... So, don't cry anymore. It hurts
me... to see you cry. The thought of you all alone, with no one to
turn to... I'm afraid to leave your side... Afraid to depart for
battle.
Est:
...I'm sorry. Teehee, I'm so silly. I guess all this fighting's been
taking its toll on me. Sorry, Abel. I'm okay now. But... Let us stay
like this, just a little longer...
Abel:
Oh, Est...
