Ricken:
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? Look, I know your true father is gone, and I know you must miss him greatly. ...But I thought perhaps our relationship could help 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:
Hey, 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 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 have to 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, smoky 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, he really is adorable when he's flustered...

Ricken:
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 just 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! Say it for me one more time!
Gerome:
Bah, enough already!
