Ricken:
Hrmm...

Lissa:
Uh-oh. You sound barfy, Ricken. Want me to run and get my staff?

Ricken:
I'm all right. I just don't feel like I've been fighting at 100 percent lately.

Lissa:
Aw, don't worry. Everybody has an off day. You wanna practice for a little bit?

Ricken:
Practice how?

Lissa:
You know? Spar with me! Maybe it'll get you past your little block.

Ricken:
Oh, uh... No thanks. It won't help.

Lissa:
Oh, what? WHAT?! Do you think I can't spar with you? Is that it? I may not be my brother, but I can kick serious butt when the mood--

Ricken:
NO! I said it won't help!

Lissa:
...Whoa.

Ricken:
They're trying to kill us out there, Lissa. Kill. Us. And the only thing we can do is kill them first. ...We have to take the lives of people. My hands are shaking just talking about it. It's just so...terrible.

Lissa:
I'm sorry, Ricken. I didn't mean to make light of everything.

Ricken:
No, I know. I shouldn't have yelled. Sorry, Lissa.

Lissa:
I had no idea things were eating away at you like this...

Ricken:
......

Ricken:
What are you doing, Lissa?

Lissa:
Combat training.

Ricken:
...What?

Lissa:
I fight too, you know!

Ricken:
Is this because of what I said before? You really don't have to do this.

Lissa:
Yes, Ricken. I do. I can't expect other people to protect me all the time. We're at war. Unexpected things happen. I need to be ready to do what is necessary.

Ricken:
But, Lissa, that's my job. Protecting you, I mean. Being on the front lines means being in danger, and... I don't want to see you get hurt.

Lissa:
You think I don't feel the same about you? About Chrom? About everyone?

Ricken:
No, but--

Lissa:
You don't get to bear this alone, Ricken! It's totally unfair.

Ricken:
Lissa, I only... You're right. I'm sorry. We're all in this together, no matter what.

A Support

Lissa:
Heya, Ricken. Are you reading again? You're gonna go blind at this rate.

Ricken:
I've got a lot to learn if I hope to be of use to Chrom in the future.

Lissa:
But you're useful now!

Ricken:
I'm talking about the far future. I'm hoping to someday be his royal advisor. He's my hero, you know? I want to be close to him and be someone he can rely on.

Lissa:
Hee hee! Yeah, you want to be close, all right! When you first joined up, you followed him around like a baby duckling! So what is it about my brother that draws you to him? And don't say his rugged good looks, or I'll slug you.

Ricken:
When I was young, the other kids used to terrorize me. One time, I got pretty bad... But Chrom jumped in and stopped it. I wasn't used to people being nice to me, so I figured there had to be a catch. Like maybe he was just showing off because he knew he could take the other kids?

Lissa:
MY brother? Showing off? Hah! No, he would have done the same thing no matter who was bullying you.

Ricken:
I found that out for myself when he saved me a second time. The kids chased me into the woods, but then a pack of wolves showed up. There must have been 20 of them... Chrom showed up just in time and ran them all off!

Lissa:
Whoa. Guess I can see why he's your hero.

Ricken:
That's not even the best part. He'd fought another wolf pack just to reach us! After the other pack ran off, he could barely stand. That reminder he was human, too, made everything else all the more impressive. I remember wishing I were that brave. I still do, I guess...

Lissa:
I think you're plenty brave, Ricken. And I'm sure you'll be someone's hero someday!

Ricken:
Thanks, Lissa. But for now, the best way for me to get there is to hit the books!

S Support

Ricken:
Are you all right, Lissa? Any injuries from that last battle?

Lissa:
Nope! I'm fit as a fiddle. ...Sweet of you to ask, though.

Ricken:
Sure...

Lissa:
You know, I think you're just as much of a hero as my brother. You've saved my neck more times than I can count, and I can count pretty high.

Ricken:
Of course! You're Chrom's little sister. I'll keep you safe no matter what.

Lissa:
...Oh. Right.

Ricken:
Er, I mean... Oh, that didn't come out right. Yes, you're his little sister. But you're also so much more... When you said you wouldn't let me bear the weight of fighting alone, I... It felt like a weight lifted off me. ...That's why I want to protect you.

Lissa:
Aw, that's so sweet. I'm glad I could help.

Ricken:
I've actually been thinking about this a lot and... See, I was wondering if... Well, here.

Lissa:
A ring?

Ricken:
It's a signet ring passed down within my family. I'd like you to maybe...wear it? 'Cause I'm thinking then I could just keep protecting you! ...You know? Forever?

Lissa:
Hee hee! Now you want to stay close to Chrom AND me!

Ricken:
N-no! It's not like that! I mean, yeah, I like him, but I LOVE you!

Lissa:
Ricken. I was teasing!

Ricken:
...So is that a yes?

Lissa:
Yes!
