Laurent:
A moment, Lucina, if you please.

Lucina:
Hmm? What is it, Laurent?

Laurent:
Might I take a look at your left leg?

Lucina:
...What's this about?

Laurent:
If my suspicions are correct, you have been injured.

Lucina:
But... How did you know? I didn't tell anyone. ...They would have just worried needlessly.

Laurent:
You're favoring your right slightly when you walk. I knew something was amiss.

Lucina:
I'm impressed by your attention to detail.

Laurent:
I consider it my role to monitor this army's condition and aid in its preservation. I ask that you seek prompt and thorough treatment for your leg. The desire to spare your allies worry is noble, but misguided. Hobbling yourself with a poorly healed leg will cause far greater woe than the truth.

Lucina:
...I shall have it looked at and be sure to give it proper time to heal.

Laurent:
I wish you a swift recovery.

Lucina:
Ever the voice of reason... I should learn from his example.

B Support

Lucina:
Rgh... Strange...

Laurent:
Is something amiss, Lucina? You have an air of consternation.

Lucina:
Oh, hello, Laurent. I've been practicing my sword form, but something feels off.

Laurent:
In what way?

Lucina:
The force behind each swing feels weak.

Laurent:
Well, I fear your grasp of swordplay far exceeds my own... But I do understand something of forces. Might I ask you to demonstrate?

Lucina:
If you think it might help. On three, yes? One...two... HAAAH!

Laurent:
Ah! I think I've got it.

Lucina:
Already?!

Laurent:
I suspect you've begun taking shallower steps due to your erstwhile leg injury. A common phenomenon among the recently recovered, I've found. Add another half step's length to your lunge, and you're like to find your old form.

Lucina:
I see. I'll give it a try. One... Two... RAAH! Ah! Yes, that's it exactly! Laurent, you're brilliant! I'm in your debt again. Such a talent almost defies all measure.

Laurent:
Not at all.

Lucina:
You really do keep such a keen eye on all of us. On behalf of the whole camp, it is most deeply appreciated.

Laurent:
You are too kind. Perspicacity and analysis are the only things I have to offer. If you ever find yourself in need of either, I am at your humble service.

Lucina:
I'm sure I'll have need of your talents again soon!

A Support

Lucina:
Laurent? Might I have a moment?

Laurent:
Yes, of course.

Lucina:
Lately, I've been hearing some disquieting talk. People are saying that the quality of your work has...faltered, as of late.

Laurent:
What?

Lucina:
Mind you, it's hardly fair to complain. We all rely on you too much as it is. And I, for one, am confident that there are no grounds for the accusation. However, as your friend, I did want you to know.

Laurent:
...I see. Yes, well, thank you for alerting me.

Lucina:
There's no truth to it, is there? I'll find the source of this baseless rumor and make them—

Laurent:
N-no! ...Er, please, say nothing. I fear they have the right of it. Of late, I find myself...distracted.

Lucina:
If something weighs on your mind, I'd be happy to lend an ear.

Laurent:
Hmm... How to put it?

Lucina:
No need to hold back, Laurent. You can speak plainly to me about anything. Well, as plainly as you ever speak... I owe you at least that much after all the help you've given me.

Laurent:
...Very well then. I fear I've lost sight of myself and the role that I serve. As I was making my rounds, helping the others in their training, I had a thought... What if all my efforts were nothing more than idle ego? Everyone in this army possesses tremendous skill and physical aptitude. Who am I to tell them how to go about their training? Or take care of their health? I worry that I serve only my own pride with these foolish endeavors.

Lucina:
That's absurd, Laurent! I, of all people, know how helpful you truly are!

Laurent:
Lucina...

Lucina:
The only person here you could stand to spend more time helping is yourself.

Laurent:
Er, myself?

Lucina:
Yes! Work on learning to give yourself more credit. If you're unsure how, I'll show you.

Laurent:
At the risk of sounding rude, you hardly seem the most qualified teacher. If there's anyone in this army who is harder on themselves than I, it is you.

Lucina:
Hah! Well, that just might be true! I'd be absolutely no help at all, heh heh...

Laurent:
Perhaps the two of us can work on improving together?

Lucina:
Heh, a fine idea. It's a deal!

S Support

Lucina:
Are you free, Laurent?

Laurent:
L-Lucina!

Lucina:
I thought we might join minds to think up some new ideas for...

Laurent:
......

Lucina:
Um, Laurent? Is something wrong? You seem unwilling to meet my gaze.

Laurent:
A-apologies, milady!

Lucina:
You're acting very strange. Whatever is the matter?

Laurent:
No, I merely, er... It's just that...

Lucina:
If something is on your mind, perhaps I might help find an answer. I've told you before, you can always speak frankly to me.

Laurent:
...Very well then. When I spoke to you before about my distracted state, I mentioned my doubts. Was I really helping others, and so on. You recall this conversation, yes? Well, I fear it was...a half-truth.

Lucina:
Oh?

Laurent:
I was not worried about whether I was fit to support the army... I was worried I was unfit to support you. Thoughts of how I might better aid you and you alone consumed me! That was my true distraction from watching over the others.

Lucina:
Laurent, what exactly are you saying?

Laurent:
You're Chrom's daughter, and in your veins runs the blood of exalts and heroes. ...So how could a common man such as I ever be worthy of you?

Lucina:
That's ridiculous! Birth has nothing to do with talent or ability!

Laurent:
I want to serve as your support, but how can I believe it's possible? And without such belief, nothing matters. I am but a twig floating in a stream.

Lucina:
So that's the full reason, is it?

Laurent:
I am in love with you, Lucina. I can say it no plainer.

Lucina:
...Oh.

Laurent:
I know I'm a fool to harbor a love far beyond my station, and yet—

Lucina:
Laurent, please—have you ever heard me talk about station before? I don't give a whit for your parentage. I care about what's in your heart. ...And in truth, I feel much the same about you.

Laurent:
You... You do?

Lucina:
I do, and have for quite some time.

Laurent:
Th-this is wonderful! Stupendous! For once, I don't know what to say...

Lucina:
I want to support you as you have me. Together...forever.

Laurent:
As do I. It's only right two souls derelict in caring for themselves find each other!
