Pre-Battle

Xalbador
There's nothin' like war for the self-made ma! No, sir! The strong rise to the top while the high-borns try to keep the blue blood inside 'em.


Elder
Hold, defiler! This is sacred ground! Your wickedness will be punished!


Xalbador
By who? The same gods that abandoned me when I was starving as a boy? When you see the gods, tell 'em I said they can rot in hell!


Elder
Hnngh! Gah...


Brady
Dastard! I'll gut ya for that!


Villager
Brady, no! There's nothing you can do! Who would tend to the injured if we lost you?


Brady
But...


Villager
We'll fight as best we're able! You help from the rear lines.


Brady
Ugh! Good people are dying, and I can't help! If only I could fight...


>scene change


Maribelle
Chrom! We have to hurry!


Chrom
What's wrong, Maribelle?


Maribelle
There're people fighting just over that ridge! LOTS of people!


Chrom
They look like they need help. Let's go, Shepherds!


Start Battle

Villager
H-help us! Please! The temple's beset by marauding bandits!


Maribelle
Don't you worry! We're happy to help! If there's one thing this world needs less of, it's wretched bandits...


Brady
Wait. I know that voice. Is that...Ma?


>Battle Start


Talk to Brady

Maribelle

Brady
Haw haw haw! Oh, that's her. That's gotta be her.


Maribelle
Pardon me, you mannerless cur! I'll not stand to be laughed at by a base scoundrel of your ilk!


Brady
...Yep. That clinches it. You must be Maribelle.


Maribelle
And just how do you know that?! Do you leer at me from behind the shades of whatever den of iniquity you frequent?! Hmph! I bid you good day!


Brady
I guess you've always been like this. Still...it's good to see you again. And now that I've found ya, I'm afraid you're stuck with me.


Chrom (Normal)

Brady
An enemy?! Damn! Guess that's it for me... Sorry, Ma. Looks like I won't be home for supper after all. Do your worst, tyrant! I can't fight back anyway!


Chrom
You seem to be doing just fine to me.


Brady
I'm unarmed, genius! Sheesh, anyone with eyes can see that!


Chrom
And anyone with eyes knows there's more to combat that swinging a blade around. You fight in your own way. Am I wrong?


Brady
Pah! Don't patronize me! I'd love to fight more'n anything, but I can't seem to make it work.


Chrom
I'm sure something will come to you.


Brady
...Just who are you, anyway?


Chrom
My name is Chrom.


Brady
What? Y-you're Chrom?!


Chrom
You know me?


Brady
Ma wouldn't shut up about you!


Chrom
Er, do I know your mother?


Brady
Her name's Maribelle.


Chrom
What?! So you're another traveler from the fut—


Brady
So you've already heard? Perfect. Now take me with ya already!


Chrom
Er, well, I suppose we can find a place for you somewhere...


Chrom (Father)

Brady
Ha! I hear you there, chump! You can come kill me now. You're just lucky I don't have my old man's skill with a blade.


Chrom
Your father is a swordsman?


Brady
None of your damn business, dog!


Chrom
Do you always speak this way to Ylissean royalty?


Brady
I am Ylissean royalty!


Chrom
...What?


Brady
...Huh?


Chrom
Humor me here for a moment. What's your mother's name?


Brady
Maribelle.


Chrom
Maribelle is my wife. ...Which would make you my son. Seems Lucina failed to mention this little detail.


Brady
Huh. Yeah, I guess we look alike. I mean, if ya squint real hard... Sorry I called you a dog, Pop. ...Oh, and I'm Brady. Sooo... Must be disappointin' that your son can't fight, huh?


Chrom
You seem to be doing fine to me. There's more to combat than swinging a blade around, you know. And besides, you've chosen to heal instead of harm. I couldn't be prouder than that.


Brady
...Really? Aw, thanks. That means a lot, Pop.


Brady defeated before recruited

Brady
Heh... A...burden till the very end...


VS Xalbador

Xalbador
You people can keep your gods. I'll put my faith in gold and steel!


Xalbador Defeated

Xalbador
I'll see you...in hell...


Post-Battle

If all villagers survived

Elder
Thank you! Oh, thank you... You've kept this sacred place safe and spared the lives of those within.


Chrom
We just did what was right.


Elder
Would that everyone were so brave! Please, allow me to give you this.


If 1-4 villagers survived

Elder
Thank you, sir. The lives we lost cannot be replaced, but your efforts have spared this sacred place.


Chrom
We truly grieve for those who died.


Elder
You did all that could be done, and I am thankful for it. I'm afraid we have little to offer, but pray accept this.


If no villagers survived

Elder
You have my thanks for dealing with those bandits. You've done us a kindness, which makes it difficult for me to say this... But this is holy ground. If you've no more business here, I ask that you move on.


Chrom
...We understand.


If Brady survived

Brady
Hey, Ma.


Maribelle
What did you call me?


Brady
The name's Brady. I'm—


Maribelle
I'm sorry, but I only cure physical ailments. Broken bones and the like. You're clearly a deeply troubled individual whose diseased mind is beyond my healing.


Brady
Stop talking for a minute and look at this!


Maribelle
That's...my ring! Then, that makes you...


Brady
Right. Like I was trying to say, I'm—


Maribelle
A thief! A rapscallion! A common lowborn cutpurse! How dare you sneak in here and steal my prized possessions!


Brady
Gawds! Stop interruptin' for one blessed second, and check yer ring!


Maribelle
...Oh. It's still here.


Brady
That clear things up any, Ma?


Maribelle
Everything save how I gave birth to a common thug!


Brady
Aw, come on, Ma! That's harsh! Sure, I'm not the prettiest guy around, but I'm no thug, and I AM your son! ...And it's good to see you.


Maribelle
...How did I ever permit my child to grow up referring to me as "Ma"?


Brady
You gave up tryin' after a decade or so.


Maribelle
Well, can you at least ride? Have you read the classics? Do you play violin? Chess?!


Brady
Yeah, all of the above. You beat all'a that junk into me.


Maribelle
Glory be! My son is salvageable after all!


Brady
Uh...thanks?


Maribelle
Don't look so forlorn, dear. You've come a long way, but Mother's here now. I'll take care of things from now on.


Brady
*Sniff* I missed you so much, Ma...


Maribelle
Do not even THINK of crying! It does not befit one of your station! *Sniff* Plus, you'll set me off as well...


Brady
S-sorry, I just... I... Oh, Ma!


Maribelle
Oh, Brady!


Chrom
Oh, brother.
