Hello, Gerome.
Gerome
What do you want?
Ricken
Oh, Nothing in particular. I just-
Gerome
Then why are you talking to me? I'm not here to make friends.
Ricken
Apparently not. But what of your family?
Gerome
......
Ricken
I was thinking: we're father and son... Perhaps it's time we started acting like it. Lucina calls Chrom "Father", you know? We could start there.
Gerome
You may look like my father, but you are not the same man. My father is dead and gone. ...You are a stranger.
Ricken
Gods, does everyone talk like this in the future? I know your true father is gone, and I know you must miss him greatly. ...But I thought perhaps our relationship could heal that wound.
Gerome
Then you are a fool.
Ricken
Hey, mind your mouth, Gerome. I'm only offering this out of a sense of-
Gerome
This conversation is over. I have business elsewhere. I must feed and clean Minervykins before bedtime.
Ricken
...Minervykins?
Gerome
Er, that is... I did not mean to...Bah! Your stupidity is contagious!
Ricken
*Sigh* That boy…

Ricken
Hello, Gerome. Have you been taking good care of little Minervykins?
Gerome
I did NOT call her that! The very idea is ludicrous! ...You must have misheard.
Ricken
Hey, don't get your smallclothes in a twist, Gerome. Cherche sometimes calls her wyvern Minervykins, too. Eventually, I picked up the habit as well.
Gerome
Oh... Er, right. I knew that.
Ricken
Heh heh. You know, you're kind of adorable when you're flustered.
Gerome
......
Ricken
All right, all right. No need to glare now. I guess I was being a little childish…
Gerome
…Apology accepted.
Ricken
I'll take what I can get, I suppose. But I must say, seeing you so angry reminds me quite a bit of Cherche.
Gerome
What do you mean?
Ricken
Mmm? Oh, er, nothing. Hey! Is that your Minerva over there?
Gerome
It is.
Ricken
Hmm, more intimidating than Cherche's... Scarier, more ferocious...
Gerome
Truly? In the future,people oft remarked she was the prettiest wyvern in the realm. Just look at those big, smokey eyes... She's such a cutey-poo! Er, I mean... Um... You tricked me into saying that!
Ricken
I didn't trick you into anything… You said it all by yourself.
Gerome
That's it. I'm leaving. WE'RE leaving. ...Minerva, to me!
Ricken
Heh, adorable when he's flustered indeed…

Hello, Gerome. Spending quality time with Minerva again, I see?
Gerome
...Why do you insist on following me everywhere?
Ricken
It's nothing so sinister as your tone implies, I assure you... I wanted to talk about our relationship again. About being father and son... Now that I've seen your sensitive side, I thought we might-
Gerome
I have no sensitive side.
Ricken
Er, right. But remember when you said Minerva was a cutey-poo?
The look of love that flitted across your face was so tender and sincere, I-
Gerome
MINERVA, ATTACK! RIP HIS LYING MOUTH OFF HIS FAT,LYING FACE! ...... ...Er, Minerva?
Ricken
Minerva would never attack me, Gerome. She knows I'm family. There, there, little Minerva. You remember me, don't you?
Gerome
M-Minerva? ...Do you truly consider this buffoon part of our family? ...... ...I see. Very well, Minerva. If that is your wish...
Ricken
Er, what did Minerva say?
Gerome
Hmph. You claim to be part of the family, but you can't understand her?
Ricken
Er, well... It's an acquired skill.
Gerome
It matters not. Minerva says you are family, and I am thus duty bound to accept you.
I'm... I'm sorry I treated you poorly. ...Father.
Ricken
...Did you just call me Father?!
Gerome
Don't get used to it.
...Minerva, to me! We're leaving!
Ricken
W-wait, Gerome! Son! Let's hear it just one more time!
Gerome
Bah, enough already!
