Heroes of Light and Shadow Base: Palla and Catria
Base conversations
Palla and Catria 1
Palla:
...Check.
Catria:
Ohhh... I-I don't believe it. I give up...
Palla:
The way you move your pieces is lacking in composure. Also, if you
had focused on setting up a strong defense, it wouldn't have
crumbled so easily.
Catria:
I see...
Palla:
You need to be more composed when observing the whole situation.
Reading your opponent's movements, and focusing your attacks on what
pieces you've lured... These are the basics of tactics.
Catria:
...You're right. Perhaps I was too impatient...
Palla:
Is there something on your mind?
Catria:
Err...
Palla:
It hurts but you can't do anything about it, so you act recklessly
as if running from that pain... That's how I see it.
Catria:
I'm no match for you, Palla... How did you figure out that much?
Palla:
Well... I didn't really...
Catria:
Alright, I'll make an effort to observe things with more composure.
Something might change if I do... Thank you, Sister.
Palla and Catria 2
Catria:
...Not again. I give up.
Palla:
You lowered your guard. Oversights are forbidden in the battefield.
Catria:
I know...
Palla:
In the battlefield... Especially for us, since we're often charged
with scouting enemy camps from above... A single oversight can alter
the fate of an entire army.
Catria:
...I'm just no good, am I?
Palla:
Why the lack of confidence all of sudden?
Catria:
I'm not rational like you, and my intuition isn't as good as Est's.
It feels as though I have no redeeming features...
Palla:
Oh dear. So you want me tell you that isn't so?
Catria:
Umm...
Palla:
It'd be easy for me to say that, but how about you took some time to
think what's really your strong point? I believe now's the best time
than ever.
Catria:
Sister...
Palla:
Don't worry, you're very good at finding other people's strengths.
You just need to turn your eyes to yourself. You can do it.
Catria:
As I thought... I really am no match for you, Sister.
Palla and Catria 3
Palla:
.........
Catria:
...Check.
Palla:
...Seems I've no choice. I forfeit.
Catria:
I won...! I beat you for the very first time!
Palla:
I take it you've found where your true strength lies, am I right?
Catria:
Yes, I have. It sounds like I'm bragging when I say it, but my
reliability is my forte. The fact I'm always growing, even if slowly
at times.
Palla:
That's right. You learn from your failures and you prepare. You
never commit the same mistake twice. And so, you become stronger and
stronger with each passing day... That's your biggest strength.
Catria:
Thank you, Sister. It was only because I figured it out myself that
I am able to accept your evaluation with confidence. That's what you
intended, right...?
Palla:
Yes, you're right. But... I too have a strength you don't have, and
that's experience. Don't expect to surpass me that easily.
Catria:
You want a rematch? I've won once, so I'm not going to lose again,
Sister.
Palla:
You said it. I'm not going to hold back this time.
Catria:
What...? Are you serious...?
Palla:
I wasn't using all of my pieces properly, you know. I'll make full
of them from now on.
Catria:
As I thought... I just can't match you, Sister...
