Before Battle Conversation

Old Hubba
Ah! You've returned!

Chrom
Hubba? ...Does this mean we're headed to one of the worlds you spoke of? An Outrealm torn by warring Einherhar that have minds and wills of their own?

Old Hubba
Indeed it does! But good news: you'll have allies! ...I fooled one of the opposing sides into thinking THEY summoned YOU. Heh heh. Told them I foresaw it, then played up my age to throw off any suspicions. Ho ho!

Chrom
Sounds familiar...

Battle Start

Quan
Sigurd, Leif has sent a messenger. He's managed to splinter the enemy.

Sigurd
Splendid, Quan! I would expect no less from any son of yours.

Quan
We should attack now, while their ranks are thin.

Sigurd
Agreed. Send a messenger to Seliph! Bid him march from the castle and bring all our might down on the Archaneans. We'll crush them from both sides!

>Map shifts to Seliph's group

Fee
Lord Seliph! I've a message from your lord father.

Seliph
Let's have it, Fee.

Fee
He asks you depart the castle and attack the enemy at once!

Seliph
Right, then. Ready the men!

>Map shifts to Katarina's group

Horace
We've been decimated...

Katarina
Lord Horace, we don't have much time before the Jugdrali finish us off.

Horace
Damn! We're vastly outnumbered.

Katarina
Indeed we are, but I have a plan...

Horace
Tell me, Katarina. Quickly!

Katarina
I've summoned aid from another world. They should appear near King Marth's party at any moment. We must hold out!

>Map shifts to Chrom's group

Chrom
Two might armies, set against each other...

Robin
And one if them believes they summoned us. But which one? I suppose a few moments of battle ought to sort that out quickly enough.

Chrom
Indeed. Let's go!

Norne

>Talk w/ Virion

Virion
No. This simply cannot go unrectified.

Norne
Huh? Are ya addressin' me, milord?

Virion
But of course. I have eyes for none other.

Norne
And you're from some kind of outside world, is that right?

Virion
The ins and outs of it are a matter of perspective, my lady, but yes.

Norne
I see...Tell me then, what needs to be "rectified"?

Virion
The way you handle your bow. You should wield it with more...grace.

Norne
Grace matters, does it?

Virion
A lady needs to be supple, aware of her curves, and taut under pressure.

Norne
And what does a lady's bow need to do?

Virion
Aha! Nothing gets past you, does it? We speak the same language.

Norne
Well, milord, it's truly kind of you to offer such enthusiastic instruction. But I think I'd rather bend my curves and tickle my bowstrings alone.

Virion
W-wait, I only...She's gone. What a shame. For once, I thought I'd met a kindred spirit.

>Talk w/ Ricken

Ricken
Ugh...

Etzel
What's wrong, boy? Carried over your troubles here from the other world?

Ricken
No, it's nothing like that.

Etzel
You can't fool me. We're all counting on you, you know? If you aren't focused, we suffer for it.

Ricken
You mean that? You're really counting on me?

Etzel
Why wouldn't we?

Ricken
It's just...everyone treats me like a child. I've all but given up on feeling needed.

Etzel
Time you ran home, then.

Ricken
What?! And leave Chrom? I could never-

Etzel
Then gird your loins and fight! Are you a man? Only you can decide. Don't let others decide for you.

Ricken
Hey, you're right!

Etzel
If you want to feel needed, make yourself necessary. Let them weigh you in good deeds, not in birthdays. ...And stop moping.

Ricken
I don't think I've ever gotten better advice. Thanks! Now it's time to earn my place on the field!

Athena
Vat? You are a strange vun. Are you not human?

Panne
No. Feel free to hate me for it...I am more than accustomed to the derision of man-spawn.

Athena
Und vy vould ve hate you?

Panne
You accused me of being "not human."

Athena
Ve asked. Ve did not accuse. And in fact, ve find you to be a darling.

Panne
I am not some pet!

Athena
Are you always this suspicious? Ve like you because ve like you. Ve do not always like puppies and such, but you, ve find agreeable. You are like...a kindred spirit.

Panne
Really? Then I thank you.

Athena
Ve vill speak more later and share stories- if you are not veary of us.

Panne

>Talk w/ Gregor

Gregor
You are sellsword, yes?

Malice
Who's asking?

Gregor
Gregor the sellsword.

Malice
Oh, so they have mercenaries in your world? Stands to reason, I suppose.

Gregor
War is business, yes? And business is everywhere.

Malice
It's a job, I suppose. It puts food on the table.

Gregor
And that is life ambition? To find next meal?

Malice
A lot can happen between meals. I keep it interesting.

Gregor
Oh ho ho! Gregor like you...Gregor like you very much!

Malice
Carry on, then.

Legion
Uwee hee! Yous from the Outrealms?

Henry
Sure am! What's it to ya?

Legion
Yous and mes are like peas in a pod. Never thought we'd meet a mans so much like ourselves! Uwee hee!

Henry
Hardly! Yeah, I may wallow in blood and giggle at the screams of widows...But you and me, the same? Nope!

Legion
Are too.

Henry
What makes you so sure?

Legion
What makes you so unsure?

Henry
I've got morals and a code of honor. Right and wrong and so forth. ...Might be a little messed up, I guess, but I still have 'em.

Legion
Rights and wrongses don't matter - only doing what we's told.

Henry
There, see? We're not peas in a pod. We're like two different pods.

Legion
Uwee hee, so we is.

Henry
But since we're on the same side, we can still wreak havoc together.

Legion
Uwee hee! Now there's motivations we can get behind! Blood-filled battles for the both of us!

>Talk w/ Basilio

Basilio
Nngh... Gods! Lighten up, please!

Hardin
Was that directed at me, sir?

Basilio
Just looking at you is driving me up the wall. And we're outdoors!

Hardin
How have I given offense?

Basilio
It's your attitude! I can practically see the storm clouds floating above you. For all our sakes, could you relax a little bit?

Hardin
I don't see how it's any of your concern...

Basilio
Hey, I'm just trying to help. You're hurting morale and look ready to hurt yourself. So TALK to someone.

Hardin
I can control what ails me. I can control everything, except...

Basilio
Is that what you're about? Control?

Hardin
Cease you're prattle and fight, damn you!

Basilio
By the gods, his life is not going to end well...

Horace

>Talk w/ Kjelle

Kjelle
You, sir! Outrealmsman! Might I ask a favour of you?

Horace
What is it, my lady?

Kjelle
I can see you are a knight of ability. I wish for us to do battle.

Horace
But...my lady, we are allies.

Kjelle
I know. But I believe in seizing every opportunity to better myself.

Horace
Do you, now? Then all the more reason I must refuse.

Kjelle
Why? Do you see me as weak?

Horace
I see you as young. Picking fights with everyone stronger than you is no way to better yourself. Knowing WHO to fight is what puts you above the rest. Fight your enemies, not your friends.

Kjelle
...I shall have to remember that.

Catria

>Talk w/ Cynthia

Cynthia
Hey, excuse me! I have something I need to ask you.

Catria
Do you?

Cynthia
I do!

Catria
...Then perhaps you'd like to ask it?

Cynthia
Yeah, I would! So, um... What do people in your world say before they declare all-out war?

Catria
...The point of your question escapes me.

Cynthia
I mean, what do you tell your foe? You've gotta yell something, right? Like "Infidels! Prepare to die!" Or "May the better soldier win!" I want to make a bigger impression when I bash someone's head in.

Catria
Then perhaps you should invest in a heavier weapon... *Catria leaves*

Cynthia
Come on, I'm serious! ...Never mind. I'll ask someone else.

Katarina

>Talk w/ Laurent

Laurent
A moment, my lady, if I may.

Katarina
One of the warriors I summoned? What is it, sir?

Laurent
It strikes me that you might be this army's tactician.

Katarina
I cannot say I bear so haughty a title, though I do deal in strategic matters.

Laurent
Then might I beg a boon?

Katarina
Yes?

Laurent
When we have time, could you tell about your history with this force? And also where you envision yourself in the years to come?

Katarina
Might I ask why?

Laurent
One day, I hope to be worthy of leading my own army to great victories. I find that learning from my superiors expedites matters.

Katarina
Well, that's very flattering. I would be happy to share my knowledge. However, you may find the wellspring to be rather shallow, so to speak.

Laurent
I highly doubt that. You do me an honor, my lady.

Start of First Enemy Phase

Eyvel
Leif, an unknown force has appeared to the northeast.

Leif
They just appeared out of the ether?! ...They cannot be of this world. And if we didn't summon them...

Eyvel
They must be with the enemy. We should go on the offensive and assist Lords Sigurd and Seliph!

Leif
......

Eyvel
You don't agree?

Leif
It's just...something feels odd about all of this... Can you even remember how this battle began? Why we're fighting here?

Eyvel
Those despicable Archaneans started it! ...Er, didn't they?

Leif
I...believe so?

Eyvel
You need to clear your mind of doubt. Hesitation could cost you your life.

Leif
You're right.

Start of First Ally Phase

And Einherjar card? What's it say? Hmm.. "Sage-Lord Leif." The hero of Thracia? We could use a warrior like that.

Leif Recruitment Conversation

Leif
I yield. You are the greater warriors. If it please you, allow me to join my strength to your own. My name is Leif. Perhaps you have heard of me?

>Question:Have you heard of Leif?

>Yes
Leif
I thought as much. Though it is humbling to be known across such distant realms! I am not the hero Lord Seliph is, or his father was. But you honor me all the same.

>No
Leif
I am the rightful prince of Leonster, a castle on the continent of Jugdral. But my lord father and mother are dead, and Leonster itself annihilated. Now I fight with my comrades to set the world to rights.

>After Answer
Leif
So, Robin, was it? That mark on your hand... Is that the Brand? In my world, the Brand is the mark of a great bloodline. Long ago, twelve exalted warriors used the power of the gods to save the world. Their heirs are born with the Brand and the right to wield their sacred weapons. I myself lack the Brand, though my elder sister inherited it... I don't know the significance of yours, but you must bear godlike powers!

>Question:Do you bear godlike powers?

>Yes
Leif
I knew it. I wish I could know what that must feel like... But no doubt it also come with its share of burdens. I often ponder what it means that I did not receive the Brand... Perhaps I am not worthy to follow in my father's footsteps? Or was I spared? ...Ah, look at me confiding in a stranger. Perhaps your godlike power is earning the trust of others. Let's keep this talk of the Brand to ourselves, yes? In return, I will fight for you. I will give my all to your cause.

>No
Leif
Oh? Then I am mistaken. Then where do your talents spring from, if not the Brand? I had two tacticians of my own, but you easily surpass either of them. Tell me how you do it. Were you entirely self-taught? I've no gift for strategy, but I do like to understand people...
...I see. You've experienced much. That is proof of a life lived fully. Thank you, Robin. I am glad we have met. You make me realize both how far I have come and how far I must yet go. And that perhaps I won't need a god's help to get there. Let me join you on your journey, that we might grow together.

> After Question
> Recruit Leif? (The unit will be added to your Avatar Logbook)

I never turn away a comrade.
