Heroes of Light and Shadow Base: Linde and Chris
Base conversations
Linde and Chris 1
Chris:
I don't believe we've been introduced. I am Chris, Prince Marth's Royal Guard.
Linde:
I am Linde, daughter of Pontifex Miloah.
If Chris is male
Chris:
Pontifex Miloah? ...Is he famous?
If Chris is female
Chris:
Pontifex Miloah? ...I-I bet he's famous, right?
Linde:
Wow, you don't know Father?
If Chris is male
Chris:
No, I don't... Sorry. Please forgive my ignorance-- I come from the country. Though I'm sure he's a great man.
If Chris is female
Chris:
Sadly, no... Sorry. I come from the country, so I'm not aware of many things... Though I'm sure he's a great man.
Linde:
He is. There's not a soul in Archanea who doesn't know Father. He was a wonderful pontifex, respected by everyone. I've always wanted to be like him...
Chris:
I see. He sounds like someone I'd like to meet. Is he in Archanea right now?
Linde:
...He passed away. Killed by the Dark Pontifex, Gharnef.
Chris:
I see... My condolences.
Linde:
It's fine. Don't worry. What about your family?
Chris:
I don't have one anymore. I used to have my grandfather, but... he's gone, too.
Linde:
Oh. I'm sorry...
Chris:
No, it's fine. How should I put it...? It's a draw? We're square?
Linde:
We're even?
Chris:
Yes, that works.
Linde:
Tee hee... You're funny. Very well, Chris. It was nice meeting you.
Chris:
The pleasure is mine.
Linde and Chris 2
If Chris is male
Chris:
Hey, Linde. You're just in time.
Linde:
For what?
Chris:
I found some strawberries on the mountain, so I picked them. They look good, don't they? Have some.
Linde:
Pardon? These are strawberries?
Chris:
Don't tell me you've never eaten one?
Linde:
O-of course I have. But, the strawberries I ate back in the palace with Princess Nyna... They were bright red and beautiful. These are misshapen and the color is off.
Chris:
Really? The ones you find in the wild usually look like this, you know.
Linde:
They do? I was raised in the palace, so I'm not familiar with nature...
Chris:
...Sorry for being a bumpkin. Oh well. Here, try one.
Linde:
Ah, thank you. ...Hm...
Chris:
How is it?
Linde:
It's good...! It tastes much better than the ones I had in the palace.
Chris:
I know, right? That's because it's fresh.
Linde:
You're amazing. Say, can I go with you to the mountain next time?
Chris:
I don't mind, but... It's dangerous to climb a mountain dressed like you are.
Linde:
How so?
Chris:
...Well, your robe looks rather thin. If it got stuck in the tree branches, it might get torn. And if that happened...
Linde:
Oh...
Chris:
...
Linde:
Hey, why are you looking away like that!? Y-you're... making me feel undignified! Father gave me this sacred robe. I'm not ashamed of it!
Chris:
I-I see. I'm sorry.
If Chris is female
Chris:
Hey, Linde. You're just in time.
Linde:
For what?
Chris:
I found some strawberries on the mountain, so I picked them. They look good, don't they? Take some.
Linde:
Pardon? These are strawberries?
Chris:
Don't tell me you've never eaten one?
Linde:
O-of course I have. But, the strawberries I ate back in the palace with Princess Nyna... They were bright red and beautiful. These are misshapen and the color is off.

Linde:
Ah, thank you. ...Hm...
Chris:
How is it?
Linde:
It's good...! It tastes much better than the ones I had in the palace.
Chris:
I know, right? Living in the countryside has its perks, I'll have you know.
Linde:
You're amazing. Say, can I go with you to the mountain next time?
Chris:
Why, of course. I'd love to go together.
Linde and Chris 3
Linde:
Here, Chris. I want to give you this.
Chris:
This is, um...?
Linde:
It's a good-luck charm. This kind is very popular in the palace town. It's supposed to protect its wearer from tragedy.
If Chris is male
Chris:
Huh? Are you sure you want to give me something so expensive? ...If you want more strawberries, I can just go get some for you.
If Chris is female
Chris:
Huh? Are you sure you want to give me something so precious? ...If you want more strawberries, I can just go get some for you.
Linde:
Hey... Do you really think I'm giving you this in exchange for strawberries? I'm giving it to you because you always protect me in the battlefield.
Chris:
Right, but... We're in this together, aren't we? I wouldn't have been able to get this far without your help, either.
Linde:
...Chris. Why do you protect me?
If Chris is male
Chris:
Neither of us has a family anymore... That's why. So when I saw you fighting... I not sure how to say it, but I knew I had to protect you.
If Chris is female
Chris:
Neither of us has a family anymore... So when I saw you fighting... I not sure how to say it, but I knew I had to protect you.
Linde:
I see. I feel the same way... And that's why I wanted to protect you. It's funny the way things turn out. I had no idea it would happen... And yet, we both came to feel this way after fighting together...
Chris:
Linde...
Linde:
S-so, that's why I'm giving you this. You face the most danger in battle. So stop being shy and take it!
Chris:
I see. In that case, I'll gladly accept it.
Linde:
You had better cherish it too!
Chris:
Yes, of course I will.
