Nyx: Prince Xander, is there anything that troubles you?
Xander: An odd and unprovoked question. Why do you ask it?
Nyx: It's rude to answer one question with another. And I asked first. Is there anything that troubles you?
Xander: No. Not at the moment...
Nyx: ... You dissemble, prince, but I know the truth.
Xander: If memory serves...you are a soothsayer, are you not?
Nyx: Yes. And?
Xander: My apologies, Nyx, but I believe the art to be a sham and a ruse.
Nyx: Do you now...? Then it is fortunate that I am not relating a prophecy.
Xander: Oh? Say what you will, but I have no troubles. I must go hence to plan the next offensive. Unless you foresee disaster there too?
Nyx: No. But promise me this. Come see me before the strain becomes too much to bear.
Xander: ... If you insist.

Xander: I'm curious, Nyx. What are you so certain that I'm worried about?
Nyx: Hmhm. You came straight away, I see. Didn't you say that soothsaying was a sham and a ruse?
Xander: Answering a question with a question, are we?
Nyx: Haha! Well done. But you surprised me. I didn't think you'd come.
Xander: Answer the question, please. What did you think was troubling me?
Nyx: May I be frank?
Xander: You have my leave.
Nyx: It's the war. The fighting troubles you.
Xander: The war?
Nyx: Yes. The truth is that you have no desire to kill your enemies. But in war, their lives can mean nothing. You must have no qualms in taking them. This puts you in a difficult position. You seem to be in pain.
Xander: ...
Nyx: You are noble in spirit as well as blood. As the eldest prince, you always put your kingdom first. But that is also your weakness.
Xander: Do tell...
Nyx: You should not have to sublimate your own feelings for the greater good. You must give them voice and be true to yourself on occasion. ...That is all.
Xander: So noted. Tell me, on what grounds do you say all of this?
Nyx: Must I explain myself?
Xander: Soothsaying, then. I thought as much. So, you truly are aware of my feelings on the subject. Interesting. I must be going now. Thank you for your time. Good day, Nyx.
Nyx: ...That is regrettable. For myself, and for you as well.

Nyx: Prince Xander, we must talk.
Xander: If this is more soothsaying...
Nyx: No. You asked me before what grounds I had to say those things. You assumed I knew what I did through soothsaying, but that is not the truth.
Xander: Then what is?
Nyx: ... In you, I saw something that felt familiar.
Xander: How so?
Nyx: The crown prince of Nohr must surely know why I am called a monster.
Xander: I do.
Nyx: I am forever young in form, and not through any fault in my bloodline. Why do you think that is?
Xander: I...I couldn't say.
Nyx: Even at a young age, I was skilled in the dark arts. I cast eldritch spells with ease. But the power proved too much for a child. One spell, cast half in jest, cost many people their lives. The toll it took on me caused my body to be frozen in time.
Xander: ...
Nyx: There were times when I wanted to die rather than deal with what happened. But I live on, hoping that someday I might find a way to atone for my crimes. Despite this, I've found that my talents lie mostly in dealing more death. It makes one wonder what the point of it all is. If all I do is kill, am I really winning my salvation? Or something else?
Xander: ... You and I may be more alike than I thought. I'd like to discuss this further, if you have the time.
Nyx: I'll listen as long as you wish. Even if I don't look it, I'm old enough that I might have some useful advice for you.

Nyx: You summoned me, Prince Xander?
Xander: I have a proposal for you. I want to grant you noble status. Would you like to be the Queen of Nohr?
Nyx: What?!
Xander: Your shock is understandable, but know that my proposal is genuine. As proof, I present you with this ring.
Nyx: ... I'm honored—thrilled, even—but are you sure about this? To wed an outsider...
Xander: The kingdom of Nohr is strongly unified. Yet even so, it is more fragile than it seems. An objective point of view such as yours would be valuable. Moreover, you are courageous, calm, and collected, with a sharp mind. All of those are qualities befitting a queen. But above all else, you are the one whom I love.
Nyx: But...the things I've done...
Xander: In terms of lives claimed, I am not far behind you on that grim tally. If there is any way for us to atone... it is by stopping the fight here. Together, we shall ensure such a burden never touches another generation. You and I will be the cornerstone of a new era of Nohr.
Nyx: ...Intriguing. I see no reason to refuse your proposal.
Xander: Wonderful! This is a bright day both for us and for Nohr.
Nyx: But you know that due to my curse, I will remain in this state. I will never age. You don't mind that in a wife?
Xander: It is not precisely what I envisioned for my queen, but we will make it work.
Nyx: I suppose I at least will never fear you abandoning me for someone younger...
Xander: That's absurd. If that were all that drove my decision, I'd have proposed to a brainless courtier.
Nyx: Hmhmhm, a very good point. Thank you...dear Xander.
