Base conversations

Minerva and Catria 1

Catria:
Good... It seems this armor and lance are still going to last.

Minerva:
You sure are earnest about your arms maintenance, Catria.

Catria:
Of course. They're precious items I received from you, Commander.

Minerva:
It's okay to hold them dear, but you can't afford to have them break during battle. Try not to get too attached to them.

Catria:
Yes, Commander, but... I can't help but to be drawn to this armor.

Minerva:
The Whitewing armor. I see...

Catria:
For a long time, the Whitewings lived in the shadows of the gallant Dragoons. Commander, it was thanks to your proposal to the king that they were restored. I honestly can't thank you enough.

Minerva:
All I did was argue about the pegasi's superior resistance and mobility compared to wyverns. It was the three of you who used the few chances you had to prove the Whitewings' prowess.

Catria:
We only had those opportunities thanks to you as well, Commander. And in this war too, I plan to make the Whitewings' prowess known throughout the entire world.

Minerva:
...I see. I believe your mobility is going to be pivotal in this war as well. I have high hopes for you, Catria.

Minerva and Catria 2

Minerva:
Good, good... I know I'm pushing you too far. But the war isn't over yet. Please lend me your strength for a little while longer.

Catria:
Taking care of your wyvern, Commander? If you're just talking to it, then I could do it in your place.

Minerva:
No, this is something I must do myself. We can't fight properly during battle if there isn't trust between rider and wyvern, after all. It's just like pegasus training.

Catria:
I see... But you're well-informed, if you know about pegasus training.

Minerva:
That's because I used to be a pegasus rider, myself.

Catria:
Is that true? I honestly had no idea. .........

Minerva:
What's wrong?

Catria:
...Commander, why did you switch from a pegasus to a wyvern?

Minerva:
Are you curious?

Catria:
Yes... Forgive me. Have I asked too much?

Minerva:
I don't mind. It isn't such a private matter. To put it simply... I had to, to become stronger. Macedon isn't a large kingdom. And there's only one reason it's recognized by other kingdoms as an independent nation: Because of its legion of dracoknights. So, to symbolize Macedon's might, those of House Macedon must ride wyverns... And that's why I released my pegasus into the forest and took a Wyvern Whip.

Catria:
So that's what happened...

Minerva:
I wonder if the pegasus I befriended is still in Macedon's forests... Once this war is over and peace returns, I'd like to go see how he's faring. ...It's almost time for the war council already. I'm going ahead, Catria.

Catria:
Commander is truly a gentle, peace-loving soul... I wonder if the white wings of a pegasus would truly be best suited for her...

Minerva and Catria 3

Catria:
So, how did you like riding astride my pegasus?

Minerva:
I had a most enjoyable time. Thank you, Catria.

Catria:
Your joy honors me, Commander.

Minerva:
The wind felt so soft from your pegasus... From my wyvern, the wind is almost like a cutting edge. It felt like it softened my battle-hardened heart a little.

Catria:
Please ask me again anytime, if I'm worthy. However...

Minerva:
What is it?

Catria:
You'd probably feel far more at ease if you were to straddle the pegasus you left in the forest.

Minerva:
...You're too kind, Catria. But indeed, I look forward to the day when I can be enveloped by a soft wind alongside you.

Catria:
Yes... I'll help to the best of my limited ability so that day will arrive as soon as possible.
