Alear
C Bond
Alear: Hey, Claude. I’ve heard you’re called the “Master Tactician.” I’d love to get some pointers.
Claude: Wow, so serious right off the bat. OK, set your sword aside for a bit. We’ll walk and talk.
B Bond
Alear: I’m having a hard time deciding which weapon truly suits me. How did you choose?
Dimitri: Well, the Hero’s Relic passed down in my family was a lance. I suppose it was decided for me.
A Bond
Edelgard: When all of this is over, what do you plan to do?
Alear: Hmm… I think I’d like to take my time and travel the world. And also read and sleep a lot.
Alear: I’d like it if you were by my side as well. That said, we’ll have to let the world heal first.
Edelgard: I’ll be sure to consider your kind invitation as we hasten our way to your days of tranquility.
Vander
C Bond
Vander: Lady Edelgard, I wanted to thank you again for lending the Divine Dragon your strength.
Edelgard: Please, there’s no need to be so formal. We’re allies, are we not?
B Bond
Edelgard: Sir Vander, the children admire you greatly. I’d love to have your skills under my banner.
Vander: It is a most magnanimous offer, but I serve only the Divine Dragon, and will do so until the end.
A Bond
Vander: I noticed you watching me knit, Lady Edelgard. What did you think of the handkerchief?
Edelgard: I thought it was impressively intricate. Your fingers are quite nimble, Sir Vander.
Vander: I’m honored to hear you say that. I’ve been told it doesn’t suit a knight of my stature, but…
Edelgard: Perish the thought! I’m no good with things like that. I’m actually a little jealous of your skills.
Clanne
C Bond
Dimitri: You always look so happy, Clanne. What’s your secret?
Clanne: I just love being the Divine Dragon’s steward. And today, I get to talk with you too!
B Bond
Clanne: Thank you for all your help on the battlefield. We’re much better for it!
Dimitri: My pleasure. You can count on me.
A Bond
Clanne: Lord Dimitri, do you mind spending so much time with me? I don’t get on your nerves, do I?
Dimitri: Not at all. Being around you is like being back with my classmates, and that cheers me greatly.
Clanne: What were your classmates like? Do you think they’d have been friends with me too?
Dimitri: I think you’d be very popular. So much so that you might find it a little overwhelming.
Framme
C Bond
Claude: You were doing some rather strange movements yesterday. What are you training for?
Framme: Oh, that? I’m focusing on my poses. A Steward of the Divine Dragon needs to look cool.
B Bond
Framme: I’m so frustrated. I should have fought better in that last battle, but I just…
Claude: Don’t be so hard on yourself. Just keep on trying your best, and next time you’ll do better.
A Bond
Framme: You always seem to be having fun. Does life ever get you down?
Claude: Hey, we Emblems are people too. Of course I’ve been sad before. More than once, even.
Framme: You have? That’s reassuring. Would you mind telling me more about it?
Claude: Sometimes I’m on a great long lead-up to a joke, and Dimitri ruins it right before the punchline.
Alfred
C Bond
Alfred: Hey, Claude! We should have a little strength competition. Best way to become fast friends!
Claude: I’m all for making friends, but a contest like that wouldn’t be fair. How about a board game?
B Bond
Alfred: What do you think of the gains I’ve made lately, Claude? Not bad, right?
Claude: Yeah, I’m impressed! Who knew you were hiding so much muscle all this time?
A Bond
Alfred: I’ve heard you were researching the medicinal plants of this world. You’re very studious.
Claude: It’s important to keep medicine on hand. You never know when someone might get poisoned.
Alfred: Oh, are you making antidotes? Do you need a test subject? My body can take it!
Claude: You really aren’t afraid of anything, are you? I hope that confidence leads to a long life.
Etie
C Bond
Claude: You’re an energetic sort, Etie. Seems like you’re always out for a jog.
Etie: Running invigorates me. Want to join me for the next one?
B Bond
Claude: Something’s unusual about your tea set, but I can’t put my finger on it.
Etie: Good eye, Claude. The cups are weighted. I use them for training!
A Bond
Etie: You’re in such magnificent shape. Got any workout secrets you can share?
Claude: You remind me of an old friend of mine. He was always refining his workout routine.
Claude: I remember him getting really excited after a chat with Dimitri…
Etie: Dimitri? Excellent! OK, I need to talk to him right away. Can you call him here, please?
Boucheron
C Bond
Boucheron: I’ve heard you’re royalty, too, Dimitri, but you’re not at all like Prince Alfred.
Dimitri: That’s not surprising. The culture of Faerghus emphasizes simplicity and austerity.
B Bond
Boucheron: My sense of direction is terrible. I spend more time finding my fishing spot than I do fishing.
Dimitri: Next time, let me know when you’re going. I’ll accompany you.
A Bond
Dimitri: What’s the matter, Boucheron? You eyes look kind of swollen…
Boucheron: Oh… Sorry. I didn’t mean to worry you…
Dimitri: I’m here to listen if there’s something troubling you. But no pressure, of course…
Boucheron: No, it’s… The book I was reading is really good. So good, I get teary just thinking about it…
Céline
C Bond
Céline: What would you say to a tea party? This year’s leaves are the best I’ve ever sampled.
Edelgard: I would love that. I may not be able to taste, but I’m sure I would enjoy the fragrance.
B Bond
Céline: My brother was once so sickly, he was confined to his room. But his training built him back up.
Edelgard: One of my classmates confined herself as well, albeit for different reasons. She hated training.
A Bond
Céline: Having future leaders learn together at the Officers Academy seems almost miraculous.
Céline: Strong allies lead to peaceful solutions. And with your acquaintances, the future is bright!
Edelgard: I hope that is the case. Everyone used to say it was a magnificent group.
Edelgard: And at least for now, we have no desire to fight each other. We all wish to save this world.
Chloé
C Bond
Chloé: I brought you some folk food made of fish eyes, but…I’m sorry. You can’t actually eat, can you?
Dimitri: No need to apologize. Watching you enjoy a meal is gratifying in itself. Please, dig in!
B Bond
Chloé: What’s your favorite food? I’m so curious about the delicacies of other worlds.
Dimitri: Let’s see… I remember really liking a dish of baked spiced cheese…
A Bond
Dimitri: It looks like today’s teatime snack is baked sweets infused with black tea?
Chloé: Yes! They’re also filled with mountain sheep’s cheese, which gives them their unique smell.
Dimitri: I’ve noticed that you’ve begun describing your dishes in much more detail.
Chloé: Hm-hm! Well, I thought that if you could really imagine it, you would be able to enjoy it more.
Louis
C Bond
Louis: You always seem to be pushing yourself. I just hope you are getting enough rest.
Edelgard: I feel calmer when I’m moving for some reason. Must just be part of my personality.
B Bond
Louis: Are Dimitri and Claude good friends? They always seem to be around each other.
Edelgard: Hmm, well, I don’t think they’re enemies or anything. Why do you ask?
A Bond
Louis: What do you mean, why do I make myself unobtrusive? Did I do something?
Edelgard: Well, the last time I was talking with the Divine Dragon, I looked around and you were there.
Louis: I wasn’t trying to hide. I just didn’t want to interrupt, so I became one with the wall.
Edelgard: One with the wall? I don’t think I understand, but you could’ve just joined in.
Yunaka
C Bond
Edelgard: Your impersonations are brilliant. You really capture all the little details in a person’s voice.
Yunaka: Thanks for noticing! I do take requests, by the way, if you want to hear anyone in particular.
B Bond
Edelgard: You are incredibly observant. That must be why impersonating others comes so easily for you.
Yunaka: Hehe! Oh, stop! You’re gonna make me blush. Takes one to notice one, though, doesn’t it?
A Bond
Edelgard: You remind me of a classmate. She was also very observant and incredibly talented.
Edelgard: She was gifted in battle, but equally so as a songstress in the opera. A remarkable person.
Yunaka: I really remind you of someone like that, huh? Thanks, Edelgard. That’s really encouraging.
Yunaka: If I’m gonna live up to that kind of praise, I’d better work even harder to put my skills to use!
Alcryst
C Bond
Edelgard: Pardon me, Prince Alcryst. If you have business with me, I would prefer that you simply state it.
Alcryst: Ah! I only wanted to thank you for lending your aid to such an unworthy person as me!
B Bond
Alcryst: I’m sorry if you worry about me. If not for the war, I could vanish and avoid being a nuisance.
Edelgard: You…are a prince, aren’t you? Sometimes, it’s like I’m talking with my old classmate again…
A Bond
Alcryst: You’re just like my brother, Lady Edelgard. So much stronger and more regal than me…
Edelgard: Prince Alcryst. Denying belief in yourself is the same as denying the ones who believe in you.
Edelgard: It does not have to be today, but please try to see what I and so many others see in you.
Alcryst: I…don’t know if I can do that, but thank you for the kind words all the same.
Citrinne
C Bond
Citrinne: I’m here mostly thanks to family connections. I must work harder to prove my strength.
Claude: It’s already outstanding. With your ambition, you’ll reach your goals in no time.
B Bond
Citrinne: I have two older brothers. They spoil me rotten. You would honestly be shocked, Claude.
Claude: Older brothers who dote on their little sisters, huh… I guess that kind exists in any world.
A Bond
Claude: I overheard that you bought out all the pastries in a bakery? What was that about?
Citrinne: Oh, the Divine Dragon looked sad. Wouldn’t that make anyone want to do anything to help?
Citrinne: I may have taken it a little too far… But I had no ill intentions, I assure you.
Claude: So that’s what it was… I had a classmate who loved food. I thought maybe you were the same.
Lapis
C Bond
Lapis: Between you and me, Dimitri… Do you water down your milk before you drink it?
Dimitri: I can’t say that I do, but if that is how you enjoy it, you should feel free to do so.
B Bond
Lapis: Dimitri, have you got a moment? This patched spot here…does it stand out?
Dimitri: No, not at all. It is very well done. I only wish I could be that dexterous.
A Bond
Lapis: You praised my needlework, but as royalty, you must find sewing to be a foreign concept.
Dimitri: Not so. I had a classmate who taught me, though I was still very much a novice.
Dimitri: I did break some needles and scissors. I found it difficult to moderate my strength when sewing.
Lapis: That’s so true! Needles and scissors are quite brittle. No one’s ever understood that before…
Diamant
C Bond
Diamant: They say a throne is solitary, but a nation cannot rest on one individual. Do you agree?
Dimitri: I do. That’s why you need friends and allies you can trust. And wise people to guide you.
B Bond
Diamant: I know it’s a trite question, but… How do you think a king should act, Dimitri?
Dimitri: I believe what matters most is for monarchs to lead their people to a brighter future.
A Bond
Diamant: Ballroom dancing is common in my homeland. It’s not my strong suit, but it can’t be avoided.
Diamant: You seem like you’d fit right in at one of our galas, Dimitri. Are you a dancer at all?
Dimitri: Enough of one to keep up appearances, at least. Social gatherings don’t suit me very well.
Dimitri: There was a ball at the Officers Academy, but I slipped away to get some time to myself.
Amber
C Bond
Amber: When the fighting’s all done, I wanna go learn about the legends in every region.
Claude: Nice plan! That’s just the kind of ambition everyone should have.
B Bond
Amber: Claude, you come from a noble family, right? Did you spend all your time in a mansion?
Claude: I’m a bit of an outsider. Before joining the Officers Academy, I was often away from home.
A Bond
Amber: I like that you’re easygoing, but don’t you ever worry about people not taking you seriously?
Claude: I’d rather downplay my strengths. Enemies are easier to deal with if they don’t see you coming.
Claude: Besides, it’s easier to make friends with people who don’t consider you a threat.
Amber: That’s true! You’re so smart. I hope you’ll teach me your ways someday!
Jade
C Bond
Jade: You’ve been observing me quite a bit, Lady Edelgard. Is there something amiss?
Edelgard: Apologies. Your careful and meticulous fighting style just reminded me of a sniper I once knew.
B Bond
Edelgard: I came upon a certain booklet earlier. It was a story starring Amber in the leading role.
Jade: It’s an honor to know an Emblem is reading it… I’d love to hear your opinion.
A Bond
Jade: Thank you for your feedback. I didn’t expect you to find that passage funny.
Edelgard: It was quite amusing. I think it is great that you can freely exercise your imagination that way.
Jade: What a relief. I thought you might scorn the humorous writing, given how little I smile.
Edelgard: No one should criticize you. Everyone knows you cannot judge a person by their appearance.
Ivy
C Bond
Ivy: As the crown princess of Elusia, I must thank you formally for your aid in this war.
Dimitri: No need to stand on ceremony, although I know how you feel. I struggle to relax as well.
B Bond
Dimitri: I’ve noticed you staring at the Divine Dragon from afar. Is there some message I could relay?
Ivy: How sensitive and considerate of you to think so much about my private business.
A Bond
Dimitri: I understand your feelings now, Princess Ivy. I apologize for being less than helpful.
Dimitri: My academy friends have always been better with this sort of thing than me.
Ivy: I never asked for your assistance, but thank you for the apology. And your understanding.
Ivy: I will collect my thoughts and express them to the Divine Dragon as best I can on my own.
Kagetsu
C Bond
Kagetsu: Dimitri! From this day forward, I believe our bond will grow ever stronger.
Dimitri: Your enthusiasm is refreshing, Kagetsu. It’s nice to hear my name spoken so informally as well.
B Bond
Dimitri: I have a friend named Dedue. He is unfailingly loyal, but always keeps an emotional distance.
Kagetsu: That is sad to hear. Perhaps you should go out with each other more to strengthen your bond.
A Bond
Dimitri: My position and my past make it difficult for me to befriend anyone. Even those I fully trust.
Kagetsu: Bonds of friendship are easier to forge than you think. If you wish for them, then you have them.
Dimitri: Perhaps you’re right. I do have a tendency to overthink things.
Kagetsu: As your good friend, I will lend my ear to your thoughts whenever you wish. I am here for you!
Zelkov
C Bond
Zelkov: My work as a retainer is demanding and, at times, *unscrupulous.* Your aid is appreciated.
Edelgard: The way you said that just now reminds me a little too much of my own retainer.
B Bond
Edelgard: I’m glad you work hard for Princess Ivy’s sake, but be sure to take care of yourself as well.
Zelkov: My duty *preoccupies* me. That is all the care I require.
A Bond
Edelgard: I relate to your sleeping troubles. I recall when my teacher discovered that I had nightmares…
Zelkov: This *teacher* of yours was no doubt worried. It must have been difficult to be so vulnerable.
Edelgard: Actually, talking it over dramatically lightened my burdens. I hope you’re able to do the same.
Zelkov: The concern is unnecessary but appreciated. Your gift for *empathy* is admirable.
Fogado
C Bond
Claude: Hey there, I’m Claude. You seem like a guy who knows how to throw a party.
Fogado: You got that right. Glad to meet you, Claude. I think we’ll get along famously.
B Bond
Fogado: You’re a riot, Claude. You must have had lots of friends at that school you went to.
Claude: Sure, tons. But there were just as many people who hated my guts.
A Bond
Fogado: When the fighting is done, I want to travel. I guess that’s not very princely of me.
Claude: Nah, It’s good to spend time with people in the real world. It’ll come in handy when you’re king.
Fogado: Yeah, but I won’t be king. I guess I can share what I learn with my sister, though.
Claude: Definitely. And that knowledge will still be useful, no matter what role you have.
Pandreo
C Bond
Dimitri: I happened to be present at your service earlier and it was… How do I put this? Loud.
Pandreo: Glad you could make it! Feel free to drop by whenever. And howl along with us! AR-AROO!
B Bond
Dimitri: The Officers Academy was established inside a monastery. It attracted all sorts of seekers.
Pandreo: So you could go and pray between classes? Sounds like my kinda school!
A Bond
Pandreo: You know, at first, you seemed pretty strict. I thought you’d judge me for being…well, me.
Dimitri: I wouldn’t judge you. I know you’re a hard and earnest worker.
Dimitri: Your methods may be unorthodox, but you’re still helping people. I think it’s wonderful.
Pandreo: I appreciate that. You should tell me more about your world so I can pray for it too.
Bunet
C Bond
Edelgard: Watching you cook is always a delight. Maybe I’d be a better chef if I could use my axe for it…
Bunet: Cooking using weapons… That would create a whole new experience. I think it’s worth a try.
B Bond
Bunet: It’s important to keep in mind that an army’s food directly translates to its morale.
Edelgard: Indeed. I wish I was a better cook. I feel like someone else told me the same thing…
A Bond
Edelgard: Dimitri and Claude and I can’t really cook. We’d love it if you could teach us a few things.
Bunet: Following a recipe should teach you the basics. I tend to just ramble on about the types of food.
Edelgard: The problem is, recipes don’t help much. The ingredients go flying, the dish turns black…
Bunet: A blackened dish with flying ingredients? Please, tell me more!
Timerra
C Bond
Timerra: Claude! Wanna hear my welcome song? Ahem! ♪He’s a Golden Deer! And now he’s here…♪
Claude: Oh, wow. Is that what music sounds like here? I want my ears to know what they’re in for.
B Bond
Claude: Looking stylish as always, Princess Timerra. How would you describe your fashion sense?
Timerra: Hahaha, I just pick clothes that are easy to move around in. Glad you like ’em, though!
A Bond
Claude: Princess Timerra, sometimes you remind me of a particular friend from the Academy.
Claude: A girl who sang, um…creative songs. It went like, uh… ♪Creeeepity creep, creepity creep!♪
Timerra: What is that? Could it be for, like, when you’re waiting for meat to finish grilling?
Timerra: Anyway, it’s my new favorite song, and you aren’t leaving here until you sing me the rest!
Panette
C Bond
Panette: What lovely weather today! Perfect for a bare-knuckle brawl…ah, civilized duel.
Edelgard: I don’t know about any of that, but the weather is indeed auspicious.
B Bond
Edelgard: You come from a common background, correct? Is it difficult for you, living among nobility?
Panette: It was at first. Grilling meat outside, camping for days at a time…’twas all very new to me.
A Bond
Panette: You are amazing. A flower that bloomed in the proper soil. Me, I hated my home and ran away.
Edelgard: I am more like a poison flower, trying to grow even if I make everything around me wither.
Edelgard: I am not the kind of person you should be looking up to.
Panette: Is that not just as grand? I myself love poisonous flowers more than normal ones!
Merrin
C Bond
Merrin: Sir Dimitri, would you honor me by joining me for training? Please, hold nothing back!
Dimitri: Of course. Let us become stronger together.
B Bond
Merrin: The wolves would not balk to die for their pack. I, too, would lay down my life for my princess.
Dimitri: You need to stop thinking of dying as a virtue, Merrin. I mean it.
A Bond
Merrin: I must apologize for earlier. It was careless to say something that implied death was a virtue.
Dimitri: No, I’m the one who should apologize. I got emotional that day.
Merrin: As a knight, I wish to continue to live and serve, just as my beloved critters also strive to live.
Dimitri: I see. I am relieved to hear it.
Hortensia
C Bond
Hortensia: You’re very charming, Claude, but I get the sense you’re a bit of a schemer too.
Claude: Who, me? Come on. What kind of scheming could I possibly get up to?
B Bond
Hortensia: Ugh… I don’t feel well… Do you think someone could take my shift on watch today?
Claude: I think you might be overdoing the waterworks just a bit.
A Bond
Hortensia: You used to do mock battles in your academy days, huh? That sounds like lots of fun!
Claude: Good thing you weren’t in my class. I’d rather step down as leader than give you orders.
Hortensia: Hey! I know I don’t look it, but I’m at the top of my class. Maybe you’re just a lousy leader. Hm!
Claude: Wow, I take it back. You’d fit right in with some of the other Golden Deer. One in particular.
Seadall
C Bond
Seadall: The Blue Lion card… This one rarely appears. Emblem Dimitri, we should get along nicely.
Dimitri: Oh, fortune-telling? What else do the cards have to say?
B Bond
Dimitri: Your dancing is inspiring. I feel courage welling up from deep within when I watch.
Seadall: I hope it appears to come naturally to me, even if it requires a constant commitment to practice.
A Bond
Dimitri: When the Officers Academy held their ball, I was unfortunately compelled to take part.
Dimitri: My professor’s dance lessons for the event were as intense as any lance training I’ve ever had.
Seadall: That is not surprising. To a dancer, the stage is synonymous with a battlefield.
Seadall: Still, to give such proper guidance… I may ask Emblem Byleth to teach me sometime.
Rosado
C Bond
Rosado: Hey, Edelgard! How’s my hair today? Perfectly cute as usual?
Edelgard: Yes, Rosado. Lovely as always.
B Bond
Rosado: I’m hoping to go back to the academy after the war’s over. What are your plans, Edelgard?
Edelgard: Only to walk a path of my own making, as I believe everyone should strive to do.
A Bond
Rosado: You’re so ambitious, Edelgard. My life goals probably seem kind of silly to you, huh.
Rosado: I never feel like you’re looking down on me, though. Why is that?
Edelgard: My ambitions don’t make me superior to you. What matters is that you’re true to yourself.
Edelgard: That’s my perspective, anyway. I can think of at least one person who wouldn’t approve.
Goldmary
C Bond
Goldmary: I’m sorry if I’m an inconvenience to you, Claude. My exceptional skill can be hard to plan around.
Claude: Uh, OK. I’ll keep that in mind. Y’know, you’re nothing like the girl you first reminded me of.
B Bond
Goldmary: Would you like to hear about my village? It’s home to the finest hot springs in all Elusia.
Claude: Sounds nice. My school had a sauna. I loved sitting in that place as long as I could stand it.
A Bond
Goldmary: Tell me more about this sauna at your school. Elusia’s academy doesn’t have anything like it.
Claude: It was basically a steam room. You toss water on some hot rocks, kick back, and relax.
Goldmary: That sounds lovely…though probably a little stifling if you stay in too long.
Claude: The most refreshing part’s actually right when you get out. Feels like you’re lighter than air.
Lindon
C Bond
Claude: With your gift for magic, Lindon, I’d wager you’re among the smartest in this army.
Lindon: That seems to be my reputation. Truthfully, I’m just an old man who enjoys his experiments.
B Bond
Claude: Hey, Lindon. I’m looking to do a little reading. Could you find some material for me?
Lindon: Of course, Claude. What are you looking for? Poisons? I believe I know just the book…
A Bond
Claude: I’ve never seen anyone so much as think to try baking with thunder magic. That’s brilliant.
Lindon: Magic has many such applications. Commanding water to wash your laundry, for instance.
Claude: Yeah, or getting the wind to dust your room for you. I’m starting to see the possibilities.
Lindon: Oh, be careful with that one. It’s far too easy to make a worse mess than you started with.
Saphir
C Bond
Claude: Your combat style’s not like a royal soldier’s, Saphir. You fight more like my professor.
Saphir: Was your professor a mercenary? Because that’s where I picked up my moves.
B Bond
Claude: Hey, Saphir. How’d you know it was gonna rain yesterday?
Saphir: You can feel it in the air, if you know what to look for. I’ll teach you.
A Bond
Claude: Come to think of it, I once knew a guy who said the same thing you did about the rain.
Claude: I thought it might have to do with living in the mountains. But you grew up by the sea, right?
Saphir: Yeah. I’d say it’s a skill most folks pick up when they spend a lot of time around nature.
Saphir: I’d love to hear more about this friend of yours, though. What was your relationship like?
Veyle
C Bond
Veyle: Thank you for lending me so much of your strength. What can I do to become your friend?
Claude: You don’t need to do anything. Being able to chat like this shows we’re already friends.
B Bond
Veyle: I’ve parted ways with the other me, but… What do I do if I start having bad feelings again?
Dimitri: That’s just another side of you. I don’t think you need to ignore or deny that aspect of yourself.
A Bond
Veyle: I feel much more courageous when wearing your bracelet, knowing you three are beside me.
Edelgard: True strength comes from aligning your will with that of an ally.
Edelgard: You can’t do all that you must on your own.
Veyle: I think so too. The other me didn’t know that. That’s why I want to always be with my friends.
Mauvier
C Bond
Edelgard: Well met, Mauvier. I hope you’ll join me in setting the past aside and fighting for the future.
Mauvier: Gladly, Lady Edelgard. Let it be so.
B Bond
Mauvier: You seem to be keeping an eye on me, Lady Edelgard. Is there any particular reason?
Edelgard: Yes, actually. Lady Veyle asked me to make sure you were all right.
A Bond
Edelgard: Whenever you risk your life, I’d ask you to consider the value Lady Veyle places on it.
Mauvier: I will take those words to heart, but I must wonder why you are so invested in them.
Edelgard: Perhaps it is because I wish I’d said the same thing to my own retainer.
Mauvier: I see. I can tell by your expression that this retainer was of great importance to you.
Anna
C Bond
Anna: Something wrong, Dimitri? You seem like you want to say something.
Dimitri: Oh, sorry. You look so much like someone I know. It is a shock every time I look your way.
B Bond
Anna: It seems like you’re fast and efficient at any job. If you minded my store, I bet I’d make a killing!
Dimitri: Especially since I don’t need to be paid. Even that mercantile spirit is identical to her…
A Bond
Anna: When this fighting’s all over, I wonder if I could get your bracelet for myself.
Dimitri: I think that is for the Divine Dragon to decide, but… Why do you want it?
Anna: Then you could mind the shop counter again. Also, it’d be a great nest egg for a rainy day.
Dimitri: A nest egg for a rainy day… Wait! You would never consider selling it, would you?!
Jean
C Bond
Jean: You seem to study my treatments carefully. Are you interested in medicine?
Claude: Of course. When it comes to life and death, the more you know, the more helpful you can be.
B Bond
Claude: You were up late again last night. If you don’t sleep properly, you’ll never grow tall, you know.
Jean: I may be small in stature now, but I bet I’ll be taller than you one day. You’ll see.
A Bond
Claude: I heard a rumor that a ghost was sighted in the room where you were studying.
Jean: I don’t believe in ghosts, but if there is one, it’s probably holding on to some lingering regret.
Jean: In order to make sure that more ghosts don’t appear, I have to save as many as I can.
Claude: Truly a doctor in training. If I mentioned ghosts to a classmate of mine, she’d hide in her bed.
Nel
C Bond:
Nel: It is an honor to know you, Emblem Dimitri. Thank you for lending us your aid.
Dimitri: The honor is entirely mine. I look forward to helping however I can.
B Bond:
Nel: I do not mean to pry, but I cannot fail to notice how lonely you seem, even among friends.
Dimitri: I assure you, that isn’t the case. I do hope I haven’t caused you undue concern.
A Bond:
Nel: Emblem Claude informs me that you are incredibly self-reliant, almost to a fault.
Nel: He believes it would be good for you to rely more upon your allies. I am inclined to agree.
Dimitri: I suppose that’s true enough. I’ve been told the same by many throughout my life.
Dimitri: It’s merely my intention not to inconvenience anyone. I will try to keep your words in mind.
Rafal
C Bond:
Rafal: You must despise me for keeping your bracelet hidden away for such a long time.
Edelgard: On the contrary, you are working to atone now. We have no quarrel with you at all.
B Bond:
Edelgard: I’ll admit, one thing about you does trouble me. The amount of sugar you put in your tea…
Rafal: The sweeter the better, Edelgard. I will brook no disagreement on this point.
A Bond:
Edelgard: You charge alone into battle far too frequently. I would urge you to think more of your allies.
Rafal: If you dislike me so intensely, then leave. No one is forcing you to deal with me.
Edelgard: That is not what I said. I am merely imploring you to consider some basic strategy.
Rafal: If my being alone in battle is your concern, then clearly your best course is to accompany me.
Zelestia
C Bond:
Zelestia: It’s strange… For a while, I’ve been having a hard time concentrating on simple tasks.
Dimitri: Given the…rumble I just heard, could it be that you’re just hungry?
B Bond:
Dimitri: You and the other members of the Four Winds seem to be quite close, Zelestia.
Zelestia: Yes, it’s because I care deeply about everyone here. Your trio also appears to be very close.
A Bond:
Zelestia: I heard you lived with many other students in the Officers Academy. It sounds like a family.
Dimitri: Family? Not really. We were all born to different households and grew up in different places.
Zelestia: That doesn’t matter. Everyone here comes from different backgrounds, but we’re still family.
Dimitri: Regardless of your origin or race, huh… It would be grand if everyone thought that way.
Gregory
C Bond:
Gregory: Proper planning and information are more important than anything else, don’t you think?
Claude: I agree. Without sufficient information, it would be impossible to snare the enemy in a trap.
B Bond:
Claude: I try to remove as many enemy units as I can, no matter the cost. If all else fails, we flee.
Gregory: You really enjoy battle, huh? I guess we don’t have as much in common as I thought.
A Bond:
Claude: Even among these bloodthirsty folk, your skill for fleeing would be useful with my strategy.
Gregory: Which strategy?
Claude: You sneak into the middle of the enemy and cause a disturbance. Then I rush in and flank.
Gregory: I see, I see… Wait, no. Doesn’t that mean I’d be the only one in danger?
Madeline
C Bond:
Madeline: I am still learning, but my mother and father were splendid knights.
Edelgard: I could have guessed from watching you. I’m certain your parents think of you with pride.
B Bond:
Madeline: I’d like to know more about you, Lady Edelgard. What kind of people were your parents?
Edelgard: Mother passed away when I was very young. Father was kind… Too kind for an emperor.
A Bond:
Edelgard: Madeline, why are you smiling like that?
Madeline: When I’m with you, I often wonder if this is what it would feel like to have an older sister.
Madeline: I am aware of the difference in our stations, of course, but I never had any siblings, so…
Edelgard: Thank you. You are very cute. Speaking with you this way always makes me happy too.
