Heroes of Light and Shadow Base: Julian and Chris
Base conversations
Julian and Chris 1
Chris:
Sir Julian, I see you're heading out. May I ask where to?
Julian:
Just as I'd expect from Prince Marth's knight. You caught onto me quickly. The truth is, I was going to secretly gather information. I want to find clues as to where Lena might be.
Chris:
I see... Sister Lena was your special someone, wasn't she?
Julian:
Yeah. I used to be a common thief, but thanks to her I turned over a new leaf. I don't care what happens to me. I just want to see her smile again...
Chris:
Sir Julian... If you'd allow me, please let me help too.
Julian:
Huh? Is that alright?
Chris:
Yes. That desire to do something for those precious to you is something I know well.
Julian and Chris 2
Julian:
Say, Chris. There's something I really want to ask of you. I wonder if you could teach me how to fight?
Chris:
How to fight? But Sir Julian, you're a thief... Rather than battle, you'd do better staying in the rear, opening chests and doors...
Julian:
Yes, you're right. But, I want to become stronger. Strong enough to protect Lena.
Chris:
Sir Julian...
Julian:
Ever since Lena disappeared, I've looked frantically for her everywhere... I even asked people who chanced to see her. According to them, when Lena was taken by the heretic bishops... she had a sad look on her face.
Chris:
What does that mean...?
Julian:
They didn't put her to sleep. Or use some spell to control her. That time, I wasn't far from her. Had Lena screamed, I'd have noticed for sure. But, she didn't. That's because she knew I'd be no match for them even if I rushed out to help. Were I a much stronger man, Lena wouldn't have been kidnapped. Knowing that, I just can't forgive myself...
Chris:
...
Julian and Chris 3
Chris:
Sir Julian. It's good to train, but don't overdo it...
Julian:
Thanks. But, I don't want to fail again. So...
Chris:
Sir Julian, I understand why you'd blame yourself for Miss Lena's tragedy. But, I was thinking. Don't you think Miss Lena wouldn't seek your help even if you were stronger?
Julian:
Come again?
Chris:
It's possible that... Miss Lena just didn't want to see you in danger. So she chose to sacrifice herself instead of seeing someone else getting hurt... I don't know her, but that's the kind of woman I imagine from you. Am I off the mark?
Julian:
... Mmm... Yeah, that's just how Lena is. Always, she's thinking of others.... Instead of herself...
Chris:
Sir Julian... I'll help you. Let's bring Miss Lena back together. After listening to your story, I now wish to meet Miss Lena.
Julian:
Why, of course. If you meet Lena, I'm sure you'll get along with her too, Chris. She's as kind as an angel, after all...
