Heroes of Light and Shadow Base: Gordin and Ryan
Base conversations
Gordin and Ryan 1
Ryan:
Brother!
Gordin:
Hey, Ryan. Whoa... It seems you've grown taller since I last saw you
at home.
Ryan:
Not only am I now taller, my skill with the bow has improved as
well! Though my hand kinda hurts.
Gordin:
Hmm? Yikes... That's got to hurt. We need to apply some medicine.
Ryan:
Yeah. But Brother, your hands used to be like this, too.
Gordin:
Not as much now. ...But if your hands hurt too much, you might not
be able to hold a bow straight.
Ryan:
Well, I have been training every day...
Gordin:
Plus, that bow might not be suited to you. ...Alright, then let's
train together again. I'll see what the problem is.
Ryan:
S-sorry for being a pain... ...
Gordin:
Oh, but you've become much better compared to before. I was
surprised when I saw you fighting earlier.
Ryan:
Ah! Were you watching?
Gordin:
Yes, I was in a position that allowed me to watch you. Although,
watching you made me a little anxious.
Ryan:
In that case, I'll have to train harder so, next time, you'll be
able to watch me without worrying!
Gordin and Ryan 2
Gordin:
Hey, Ryan. Have you seen Chris?
Ryan:
Chris? He/she was here until a moment ago. Chris!!! ...He/she doesn't seem to be
around.
Gordin:
Ryan... You've become stronger.
Ryan:
Why do you say that?
Gordin:
Before, you'd never shout for anything.
Ryan:
... I think you should thank everyone in the 7th Platoon.
Gordin:
Yeah... Sounds likely. Then, perhaps I should have you make a speech
in front of everyone?
Ryan:
What!? I-I'm not ready for something like that yet. If it's a speech
you want, ask Chris, not me...
Gordin:
Ahaha, I see. So that's still hard for you. Though I'm no good at
making speeches either.
Ryan:
Don't make me do what you can't, Brother...
Gordin:
But I think that alone should allow me to write a good reply.
Ryan:
What reply?
Gordin:
Mother was worried about you, so she sent me a lettter. I think it'd
sound better if I could say you made a public speech, but...
Ryan:
Wha-! Err, I'll go look for Chris...!
Gordin and Ryan 3
Gordin:
Your hand should be fine now though it might hurt a bit to hold a
bow, for a while.
Ryan:
Thanks, but I wonder if I've gotten as good as you now, Brother?
Gordin:
Indeed. If we leave the experience in, er, odd battlefields aside,
you might be even better...
Ryan:
What? You're exaggerating. And who was it that saved me in earlier
battles...?
Gordin:
And you did the same for me. Ryan, you're already a veteran knight.
Ryan:
Brother... I volunteered to be an Altean knight because I was
watching your back, following your steps. ...And that's why it makes
me happy to hear that kind of praise from you.
Gordin:
I feel awkward if you say it that openly. But Ryan, I hear a weapon
user shouldn't show the palm of his hand to others.
Ryan:
Why is that?
Gordin:
By looking at the thickness of one's hand and fingers, one's
blisters and calluses, one's habits and ability can be deduced. It's
the same as showing your hand to the enemy.
Ryan:
Wow... In that case, we need gloves to battle, right?
Gordin:
You needn't go that far... There aren't many who can tell all that
just by seeing your hand. I know I can't.
Ryan:
Oh, then we'll know which of us is better if we ask someone who can!
Gordin:
Indeed... But if I were told that you're better than me now, I think
I'd feel depressed. ...I think I'll go train.
