Heroes of Light and Shadow Base: Minerva and Est
Base conversations
Minerva and Est 1
Est:
Commander, this is the Angel Ring I was talking about... or rather,
its replica.
Minerva:
Thank you, Est. I see... It's completely different from the art of
our continent. Regardless, it's a beautiful ring...
Est:
Traveling beyond the sea was troublesome in many ways, but it was a
good experience nonetheless.
Minerva:
Your stories about your travels never fail to delight me, but seeing
the ring before me delights me in another way. Why don't you add it
to your shop's stock? I'm sure it would sell well.
Est:
I bet it would too, but trouble is I don't know how to manufacture
it... In other words, that's the only one I have. But, you can have
it if you want.
Minerva:
It's such a precious item... Are you certain?
Est:
Of course! If you were to wear it, Commander, the effort made to
create it would be well and truly rewarded.
Minerva:
Then, I'll gladly accept it. I'll treasure it dearly.
Est:
Seeing you so interested really makes me want to take you there,
Commander.
Minerva:
Haha, sounds fun. But that's an impossible dream.
Est:
Huh...? Why do you say that?
Minerva:
My choices and actions thus far... And the sins towards my people
and my soldiers that I must atone for... When I think of those, I
simply cannot allow myself to live freely and seek happiness. My
intention is to devote my entire life to the people of Macedon. Just
looking at this ring and dreaming of a land overseas is well enough
for me.
Est:
No way... That's just too cruel, Commander!
Minerva:
No, not at all. Thank you, Est. This ring shall be my treasure. And
you: please live a happy and content life.
Est:
Commander...
Minerva and Est 2
Est:
Commander. There's something I'd like to ask you...
Minerva:
What is it?
Est:
Err... Do you, um, hold anyone in your heart, Commander?
Minerva:
You mean like a crush? No.
Est:
Oh... Th-that's too bad.
Minerva:
Why?
Est:
Commander, sometimes you look really sad. I've been thinking if
there was a good way to heal your sadness, but...
Minerva:
Indeed, you've obtained great happiness by finding yourself a good
husband. If I were to establish such a bond with someone, I wonder
how much happier I'd be.
Est:
Y-you think so too? In that case... May I ask? Is there anyone in
the Altean army that you have your eyes on, Commander?
Minerva:
Haha, there are certainly gentlemen I appreciate, but to call it
love would be... Besides, I haven't the time to seek my own
happiness.
Est:
No way! Aren't you being a little too hard on yourself, Commander?
Minerva:
Est...
Est:
Oh...! What am I saying... Please forgive me!
Minerva:
It's fine. I know you say such words because you care about me.
Est... I'll give some thought to these words of yours.
Minerva and Est 3
Minerva:
Est, what's wrong?
Est:
Hmm... I wonder if I...
Minerva:
It feels like you've lost all motivation.
Est:
...When I look at everyone, it makes me feel like I'm a burden...
Minerva:
Is that so? Doesn't seem that way to me.
Est:
My body has grown dull since I left the army, and I've never been as
strong as my sisters anyway...
Minerva:
You're gravely mistaken. It's true that valor is important, but that
isn't the only thing that dictates the flow of battle.
Est:
Huh... If that's true, then what's most important?
Minerva:
The most important thing... is teamwork. You three sisters should
understand this better than anyone else. That mysterious ultimate
attack that can only be launched if all three of you are there...
I'm certain you three are the only ones who can perform it. Do you
understand now?
Est:
I... see...
Minerva:
The Whitewings are my pride. You should be proud, as well.
Est:
Y-yes!
Minerva:
And now I must work. Will you accompany me in my training?
Est:
...Yes! Gladly!
