Heroes of Light and Shadow Base: Leiden and Chris
Base conversations
Leiden and Chris 1
Leiden:
Training, huh? I see you're full of spirit today.
If Chris is male
Chris:
Sir Leiden? It's rare to see you around here.
If Chris is female
Chris:
Ah, Sir Leiden. It's rare to see you around here.
Leiden:
Your willpower and vitality are admirable.
Chris:
Not at all. It's all thanks to continuous training. ...Besides, you can easily handle this amount of training as well, right?
Leiden:
The training I can handle... But weren't you checking around the platoons just a few days ago? And you even tinker with the food... Are all Royal Guards jacks-of-all-trades?
Chris:
Y-you have good sources. Naturally my duty as a Royal Guard comes first. But I think it's equally important to forge bonds with my comrades.
Leiden:
And why is that?
Chris:
...That's because I believe trust can save people.
Leiden:
And you think that trust will allow you to save your liege... Is that it?
Chris:
Exactly.
Leiden:
Okay, well, I'm sorry for asking such a rude and contrived question.
Chris:
No, no. Talking with you was an honor.
Leiden and Chris 2
Leiden:
...I admit you've got stamina, but it's clear to me you're always overdoing it.
Chris:
Are you talking about me?
If Chris is male
Leiden:
You would do well to learn to leave some matters to others. What would happen if you were to collapse from exhaustion?
Chris:
But...
If Chris is female
Leiden:
You would do well to learn to leave some matters to others. You won't be young forever, after all.
Chris:
Hey! How could you say that to a girl?
Leiden:
Listen to me. One can grow by relying on others, too.
Chris:
...
Leiden:
You have the stamina, so you afford to check on other units. You can also cook and clean. That isn't bad at all. But you can't do every single thing even if you're the only who can.
Chris:
...You might have a point. But when I think about it, it's hard to ask others when I could just do it myself...
Leiden:
That might be true for you, Chris. Looking at you, I'm reminded of how I used to be.
Chris:
How you used to be?
Leiden:
Yeah, once, I couldn't rest until I had done everything myself, just like you. However, there's a limit to what one can do by themselves. ...I learned that the hard way, in one of my previous battles.
Leiden and Chris 3
Leiden:
I heard you volunteered to become an Altean knight, Chris.
Chris:
Yes, that's correct. I knocked on the gate of Altea Castle because I wanted to serve Prince Marth.
Leiden:
So you've chosen your liege yourself.
Chris:
Yes. I'm extremely fortunate to serve Prince Marth.
Leiden:
I can understand that. You see, I didn't have the opportunity of choosing my own liege. But I am proud of having served under an excellent general.
Chris:
You mean... Sir Camus? If you speak of him like that, Sir Leiden, then I'm sure he was a great man.
Leiden:
Indeed, he was. ...If something were to befall Prince Marth... I'm certain you'd feel just like we did, back then...
Chris:
Sir Leiden? What do you mean?
Leiden:
We'll talk about it IF that happens.
