Heroes of Light and Shadow Base: Marth and Caeda
Base conversations
Marth and Caeda 1
Marth:
Caeda, have you been keeping well?
Caeda:
Hello, Marth. Yes, of course.
Marth:
I see. I'm glad to hear it. If anything were to happen to you, I
wouldn't be able to look King Talys in the eye.
Caeda:
You're too kind... And you, Marth? Are you well?
Marth:
Please, worry not, Caeda. I've all the help I could possibly want
and more.
Caeda:
Hmm. Starting with Chris... We have so many reliable people, don't
we?
Marth:
Yes. That's why... Caeda, I must implore you to leave the fighting
to us.
Caeda:
Huh...? Marth, what do you mean...?
Marth:
I do not wish to see you on the battlefield. If you must, I'd prefer
it if you would support us away from the frontlines.
Caeda:
Marth... How could you say such a thing? Am I that much of a burden
to you?
Marth:
No, Caeda. That's... not what I meant. I... I don't want to see you
get hurt. Your safety is of immense importance to me.
Caeda:
So, are you telling me to wallow alone in prayer? Somewhere arrows
won't reach me? While everyone else is fighting? That... That's
just...! I won't have it! I can't just sit quietly, while others
risk their lives.
Marth:
Caeda...
Caeda:
I'll fight. I'll fight by your side. I'll show you that I'm capable!
Marth:
Oh! Caeda...! ...Did I say something wrong...?
Marth and Caeda 2
Caeda:
Marth! Were you watching?
Marth:
Y-yes... You did splendidly.
Caeda:
I'm so glad... Now, will you take back your words?
Marth:
I...!
Caeda:
Please, Marth! Don't give me that look. I'm fine. I'm much stronger
than you think.
Marth:
I... I see. You're right. You are strong. But, that's why I worry.
The stronger you become, the more often I'll have to ask you to
fight on the frontlines. You hate fighting, and I worry. Is it not
troubling for you?
Caeda:
That's... I feel happy by your side, Marth.
Marth:
Caeda...
Caeda:
Don't you hate to fight as well?
Marth:
Well... You're right. I do.
Caeda:
I know how much it hurts you, more than anyone else... That's why
I'll fight too. I'll help you end this war, so that we'll never have
to witness bloodshed again. Am I being selfish?
Marth:
... All right, Caeda. I won't say anything more. Please, stay with
me. And... together, let's bring this terrible war to a close.
But... please, don't push yourself too hard.
Caeda:
Yes...! Thank you, Marth.
Marth and Caeda 3
Marth:
Caeda. Have you been well?
Caeda:
Teehee...
Marth:
Huh? Why did you laugh? Was it something I said?
Caeda:
No, not really. It's just... you always ask me that. You're always
worrying about everyone else.
Marth:
I-is that so?
Caeda:
That's why we follow you, Marth. It's because of your kindess that
I...
Marth:
Huh...?
Caeda:
Say, Marth. Once this war is over, will we..?
Marth:
Yes. We must devote all of our energies into the reconstruction.
Caeda:
Oh yes... That's right.
Marth:
And then, we'll be wed.
Caeda:
Oh, Marth...!
Marth:
I'm looking forward to seeing you in a wedding dress, Caeda.
Caeda:
And what, sir, will I do if it becomes me less than this armor?
Marth:
Hahaha, that's impossible. You'll be beautiful regardless.
Caeda:
Really?
Marth:
Mmm.
Caeda:
Thank you, Marth. I hope I'll be a bride worthy of you.
Marth:
I too... I'll make you the happiest woman in the world, Caeda.
Caeda:
...Marth...
