Heroes of Light and Shadow Base: Radd and Chris
Base conversations
Radd and Chris 1
Chris:
Radd, you used to be a mercenary from Warren, correct?
Radd:
Yeah. I came with Caesar when he told me he accepted a job away from home. He's like a bro to me, so... I thought he'd appreciate it if I could help him, even a tiny bit!
Chris:
You wanted to help Sir Caesar?
Radd:
Yeah! I'd pull my load, earn some gold, and then... Oops, I nearly said too much.
Chris:
Huh?
Radd:
I almost forgot Caesar swore me to secrecy. So, I'm afraid I can't say any further.
Chris:
I see, then I won't pry. However, I'll pray for your success.
If Chris is male
Radd:
Thanks. Chris, you're a nice guy.
If Chris is female
Radd:
Thanks. Chris, you're a nice girl.
Radd and Chris 2
Radd:
Hmm, hmmm...
Chris:
Radd? What's wrong?
Radd:
Hm? Oh, Chris? Nothing, it's just that I was reading a book Caesar recommended me earlier, but... ...it doesn't make a lick of sense to me.
Chris:
What book were you reading? ...Oh, this? I've read this book. The Fundamentals of Tactics. It's a good book.
Radd:
Oh! How convenient. Then, please teach me all about it! It'd help if you could summarize the entire contents in a single phrase, if possible.
Chris:
That wouldn't benefit you at all. This is the kind of book you need to read again and again, until you understand it. It's no use just asking others and pretending like you get it.
Radd:
Bah. You sound just like Caesar. ...Why does it feel as though I've gotten yet another bro?
If Chris is male
Chris:
That said, I'll teach you if there's any part you don't understand. Feel free to ask me anything.
If Chris is female
Chris:
That said, I'll teach you if there's any part you don't understand. You can ask me anything.
Radd:
Uh-huh, got it. I'll do my best and give it a shot! One page a day...
Radd and Chris 3
If Chris is male
Chris:
Radd, what are you planning to do once this war reaches its conclusion?
If Chris is female
Chris:
Say Radd, what are you planning to do once this war reaches its conclusion?
Radd:
I'll return to Warren. By then, I should have saved up enough money.
Chris:
I see. You refer to the secret from earlier.
Radd:
Yeah... Hmmm... Well, I reckon it's alright to tell you, Chris. I want to buy medicine for Caesar's lil' sister.
Chris:
...Is she unwell?
Radd:
Yes, and it's pretty serious. There's good medicine for her condition, but it's so expensive it's unreal. That's why I tagged along when Caesar said his next job took him far from home. Because Caesar's sister is like my sister.
If Chris is male
Chris:
So that was it... But, why keep it a secret?
If Chris is male
Chris:
So that was it... But why keep it a secret?
Radd:
Caesar always told me. Fallible compassion and allies who try to take advantage of us... are things we must steer clear of. We're mercenaries, we can't afford trusting people. But Chris, you're special.
Chris:
Radd...
Radd:
Please don't tell anyone. I only told you because it's you.
Chris:
Yes, got it. It'll be our secret.
