Heroes of Light and Shadow Base: Maris and Chris
Base conversations
Maris and Chris 1
If Chris is male
Chris:
Miss Maris.
Maris:
Er, you are...
Chris:
Chris.
Maris:
Yeah, the guy always milling around Prince Marth, right?
Chris:
Wha!
Maris:
You sayin' I'm wrong?
Chris:
No... Well, whatever.
Maris:
So, whadya want from me?
Chris:
I saw you fighting during the previous battle. It was a style I had never seen before... Self-taught?
Maris:
Yeah.
Chris:
It looked way too elegant for something martial- ...Eh!?
Maris:
Whadya say?
Chris:
W-why did you draw your weapon?
Maris:
Well, it was just your first offense. I'll forgive you. ...You know about my Pops, right?
Chris:
Yeah. I heard he loves gambling.
Maris:
Damn old geezer. No matter how much gold we have at home, he uses it up in the blink of an eye. That's why I learned this fencing, for show.
Chris:
I see.
Maris:
Oh, right. Wanna see it?
Chris:
Oh, of course! Please do show me. ...Hm? What's with the open hand?
Maris:
Gold. Who said I'd show you for free?
If Chris is female
Chris:
Miss Maris.
Maris:
Er, you are...
Chris:
Chris.
Maris:
Yeah, the girl always milling around Prince Marth, right?
Chris:
Wha!
Maris:
You sayin' I'm wrong?
Chris:
No... I guess you could say that.
Maris:
So, whadya want from me?
Chris:
I saw you fighting during the previous battle. It was a style I had never seen before... Self-taught, perhaps?
Maris:
Yeah.
Chris:
Your movements looked way too elegant for something martial...
Maris:
Wha! Whadya say?
Chris:
Huh!? Did I... say something rude?
Maris:
...No, it ain't your fault. But... don't praise me. Somehow, it makes me nervous.
Chris:
A-alright.
Maris:
...You know about my Pops, right?
Chris:
Yes. I heard he loves gambling.
Maris:
Damn old geezer. No matter how much gold we have at home, he uses it up in the blink of an eye. That's why I learned this fencing, for show.
Chris:
I see.
Maris:
Oh yeah. Wanna see it?
Chris:
Yes! I'd love to see it.
Maris:
Alright, gotcha. I usually charge money for this, but... Just this once, I'll show you free of charge.
Maris and Chris 2
If Chris is male
Maris:
That's the speed... And now, jump!
Chris:
Got it!
Maris:
Stop moving the moment you fall!
Chris:
How am I suppo!
Maris:
...Did you fall?
Chris:
Yes, as you can plainly see... You aside, Miss Maris, I'd say it's almost impossible for anyone to pull off that stunt.
Maris:
Well, I'd be in a lotta trouble if people could mimic me that easily. But you seem different from the
usual buff guys. You were close enough.
Chris:
I-is that so? It's all thanks to my grandfather.
Maris:
Oh yes, one more thing.
Chris:
Hm?
Maris:
I appreciate the fact you didn't ask me why I chose the way of the sword, despite being a woman.
Chris:
Yeah. For a knight, there's no difference between man and woman, after all.
Maris:
...Oh?
Chris:
But well, when you're quiet, you do look rather elegant- Wha...!
Maris:
When I'm quiet, I what? Do you want to die?
Chris:
N-no. I'd prefer not to, thanks. But more importantly, I wonder if... Could you lower this dangerous knife that's lodged rather close to my neck?
Maris:
...Hmph. Next time, I'll be twice as deadly as this!
Chris:
But weren't you the one who started the subject this time, Miss Maris...?
If Chris is female
Maris:
That's the speed... And now, jump!
Chris:
Got it!
Maris:
Stop moving the moment you fall!
Chris:
Okay! ...Huh!?
Maris:
...Did you fall?
Chris:
Ouch...
Maris:
What a pity.
Chris:
No, I've still a ways to go before I reach your level, Miss Maris...
Maris:
Don't look down on yourself. It's the first time I've seen such a fast learner like you. It's really satisfying teaching you.
Chris:
Is...is that so? I ought to thank my grandfather...
Maris:
Hm? You have a grandfather?
Chris:
Ah, yes. Although he's no longer here.
Maris:
...Sorry. I asked something I shouldn't have.
Chris:
No, not at all. The way I am now... It's all thanks to my grandfather's teachings. Therefore, being able to learn under you, Miss Maris, is thanks to grandfather too.
Maris:
I see. You're... nice.
Chris:
Thank you. Miss Maris, you're nice too...
Maris:
Huh, didya say something?
Chris:
No, nothing.
Maris and Chris 3
If Chris is male
Maris:
...And it's all over.
Chris:
So this is your fencing, Miss Maris...!
Maris:
Aren't you glad? Your grandfather's gold was put to good use.
Chris:
Yes. But, how do I say this? Those movements... It looked like I was watching shooting stars- Wha...!? Wait! I was just praising your fencing!
Maris:
Indeed you were.
Chris:
Then why are you pointing your sword towards me!?
Maris:
I don't know either. But, when you praised me, I felt excited.
Chris:
So you mean to say you felt embarrassed...!?
Maris:
What did you say? Do you want to die?
Chris:
No, I choose to live! I choose to live, because I want to keep admiring your fencing.
Maris:
... Very well. Then I'll show you my fencing. I don't need money. But, in return...
Chris:
What?
Maris:
Praise me. I want to be praised by you, more and more. I don't know why.
Chris:
Yes, I don't mind. I know many, many of your good points after all, Miss Maris.
If Chris is female
Chris:
...And I'm done.
Maris:
...To think that you'd grasp so much in such little time. Please, don't steal my job.
Chris:
Don't say that, I still have much to learn.
Maris:
You're... I'm sure I told you not to be so humble. You'll just be ridiculed by others.
Chris:
Yes. ...You're really nice, Miss Maris.
Maris:
...What?
Chris:
But... you're unfair.
Maris:
Heh, whadya mean?
Chris:
You ask not to be praised... And yet, praise me all the time. How am I supposed to repay you then?
Maris:
Well... You're right. Indeed, it's just as you said. I guess, it makes me nervous... 'Cause I'm not used to receiving it.
Chris:
Wha! Then, from now on...?
Maris:
Yeah, do as you wish. But, in exchange...
Chris:
What is it?
Maris:
From now on... I'll take the liberty of calling you by name. Got it, Chris?
Chris:
Of course. Then... I, too, will directly call you Maris.
Maris:
Sure. Once again, nice to meet you, Chris.
Chris:
No. The pleasure is mine, Maris!
