C Support

Lucina:
Might I ask a lesson, Father? I would love to learn the sword from you.

Chrom:
You're a master in your own right already. What could I possibly teach you? You're likely better served training alone where you can hone your own style.

Lucina:
But I was hoping you might... That we could...

Chrom:
Hmm?

Lucina:
...I'm sorry. If it's a bother, I won't insist.

Chrom:
I never said it was a bother. I just meant that with your level of skill, you'd be...

Lucina:
......

Chrom:
...Heh. Fine. Go fetch a pair of practice blades.

Lucina:
Wonderful! I just so happen to have two right here...

Chrom:
Well, someone's certainly prepared. Very well, let's begin.

Lucina:
Yes, sir!

[a moment's pause]

Chrom:
Hnngh!

Lucina:
Yaaaah!

Chrom:
Ngh...

Lucina:
...Urgh!

Chrom:
...Impressive as ever. I was certain I dodged that one, but you nicked my shoulder.

Lucina:
Still, you had me soundly beat. Had you not held back on that blow to my chest, I'd have a few shattered ribs. I was right to think you still have much to teach me. We'll have to make lessons a habit.

Chrom:
Wait, you didn't just... Did you just throw that match just so we'd continue doing this?

Lucina:
Why, Father... I would never!

Chrom:
...Devious. I see I'll have to keep a closer eye on you, heh.

B Support

Chrom:
All right. That should do it for today's training. Let's stop here.

Lucina:
Thank you, Father.

Chrom:
It still feels so strange to hear you call me that...

Lucina:
You don't like it?

Chrom:
No, no. It's not that I dislike it. It's just...different, is all. I'm still wrestling with the fact that I have a child, and that that child is you.

Lucina:
I see.

Chrom:
Oh, but don't tell your mother. You know how she can be.

Lucina:
Ha! It always seemed to me like you told her everything... In the future, I mean... You two were always so close.

Chrom:
Oh, come now. You make us sound like a pair of fawning lovebirds. I'm sure we would never embarrass ourselves, especially at court.

Lucina:
So you say, but your blushing face seems a little less certain! ...Heh. It feels good to share a secret. It's been too long. You were always sharing little tidbits with me in the future.

Chrom:
Was the future me really so furtive? I don't think of myself as a man of secrets.

Lucina:
Oh, they were just silly little things. Still, it gave me a thrill to hear them.

Chrom:
So the future me wasn't so furtive, but more of a hopelessly doting father?

Lucina:
Well, there was one thing you never did tell me.

Chrom:
Oh?

Lucina:
...How you and mother first met.

Chrom:
That's...not the sort of story a daughter needs to hear.

Lucina:
It's certainly one this daughter would LIKE to hear! Why don't we make a little wager? If I manage to defeat you, you'll tell me.

Chrom:
...I'm not so sure that's...

Lucina:
That certain you'll lose, eh?

Chrom:
Hmph! ...Very well. I accept.

Lucina:
Then get ready, Father, because I'm serious about hearing this story!

Chrom:
And I'm serious about not telling it---so likewise!

A Support

Lucina:
I'm ready for today's training, Father.

Chrom:
Before we begin, I have a question.

Lucina:
Oh?

Chrom:
It's something I'd been meaning to ask for some time now. Once this war is over, will you be able to return to your own world?

Lucina:
...I don't know. Even if it were possible to cross the bounds of time again, my world itself may be lost. Naga said as much before we left.

Chrom:
I see.

Lucina:
But don't worry, Father. Once peace is returned, I'll leave you to your life.

Chrom:
What? Why?

Lucina:
I understand I don't belong in this time. I'll not have myself become a burden.

Chrom:
Lucina! I never want to hear you say such a thing again!

Lucina:
Father?

Chrom:
I've told you before, you are no burden. You could never be a burden!

Lucina:
But...

Chrom:
I fear I'm not very adept at putting these sorts of things into words... But it's clear you need to hear something, so listen well.

Lucina:
...All right. I'm listening.

Chrom:
Lucina...I am so very grateful for you. Grateful that you were born... That you grew into such a fine and noble woman... Grateful you withstood terrible hardship and risked all you knew to come here... I haven't the words to express how much it means to me. None, save "thank you."

Lucina:
Father...

Chrom:
You're my daughter and my friend. You will always have a place at my side.

Lucina:
Father, I... Th-thank... Oh, Father! *sob*

Chrom:
Shhh, it's all right, Lucina. There, there, it's all right now. Daddy's here for you...
