Alear
C Bond:
Alear: You have considerable strength, Roy. It’s no wonder they gave you to Brodia to keep safe.
Roy: You flatter me. I’m just happy to be working with you now to bring about peace.
B Bond:
Roy: You’ve improved a great deal. You’ve got the makings of a very promising warrior.
Alear: You know, I never truly felt that way until I heard it from you.
A Bond:
Alear: You know what I like about you? The way you never give up, no matter how dire things get.
Roy: When I see people who need help, I feel that I have to do all I can for them. That’s all it is.
Alear: Not everyone feels that way, though. It’s an outlook I could always learn from.
Roy: If you admire that way of thinking, you already have it. I’m happy to call you an ally.
Vander
C Bond:
Vander: Sir Roy, I would most appreciate an opportunity to learn more about the Emblems’ abilities.
Roy: Of course. I’d be glad for the chance to learn from you as well, Sir Vander.
B Bond:
Vander: I finished a bit of lacework that I thought you might find appealing.
Roy: It’s quite beautiful. I really like it! Perhaps we could place it in the Ring Chamber.
A Bond:
Roy: I see you’re knitting. Is this how you made the lacework you showed me before?
Vander: Indeed. Knitting beautiful patterns like these requires subtle technique and a delicate touch.
Vander: More importantly, it calms the heart. There is nothing else I would rather do after a battle.
Roy: Well then, I’m intrigued. I hope you’ll show me more of your creations.
Clanne
C Bond:
Roy: You’ve been here at the Somniel for a long time. Can you tell me more about this place, Clanne?
Clanne: Tell you about… That is─ Yes, of course! Oh, wow, Lord Roy asked me for something!
B Bond:
Clanne: Um… Lord Roy? I was wondering… Would you like to join our Divine Dragon fan club?
Roy: Well, first I need you to explain what a “fan club” is, and then I’ll let you know.
A Bond:
Clanne: Lord Roy… Do you think I’m becoming strong enough to protect the Divine Dragon?
Roy: Of course. Every time I fight beside you, I see you grow stronger.
Clanne: Lord Roy thinks I’m strong! Oh my gosh. I’m so happy I might faint!
Roy: Work hard, and you’ll get even stronger. That sounds like a Divine Dragon Fan Club slogan.
Framme
C Bond:
Framme: If you and I combined our strength, Lord Roy, no one could possibly beat us. So, let’s do it!
Roy: I like the confidence, Framme. Just never let your guard down, all right?
B Bond:
Roy: Framme, that food you’re always carrying around… What is it?
Framme: Beets! They’re super-duper nutritious, and they’re my very favorite.
A Bond:
Framme: So many folks are stronger than I am, Lord Roy. What if I can’t protect the Divine Dragon?
Roy: You are strong, Framme, and you are very good at taking care of the Divine One.
Roy: Besides, there are some things only you can do. Your enthusiastic support is a powerful thing.
Framme: OK! I’m gonna put all I’ve got into protecting the Divine Dragon. Just you wait and see!
Alfred
C Bond:
Alfred: Our allies in Brodia were sitting on a pretty powerful Emblem. Can’t wait to work with you.
Roy: You seem like a worthy ally yourself. I’m eager to fight by your side.
B Bond:
Roy: Alfred? Do you need something? I can feel you staring a hole in me.
Alfred: I can’t help it─you’ve got some serious muscle! I have to know what your workouts are like.
A Bond:
Alfred: Up and at ’em, Roy! It’s dawn─the perfect time for a workout.
Roy: I admire your enthusiasm, but don’t you think this is a little early?
Alfred: Nonsense. The early bird catches the worm, and our muscles are ready to feast!
Roy: I’m not sure that’s true, but you’re the expert. Let’s get to work!
Etie
C Bond:
Roy: You’re always so confident, Etie. Doesn’t anything worry you at all?
Etie: Does worrying solve anything? No. Plus, I have exercise to clear my mind when I start to doubt.
B Bond:
Roy: Did you pick these flowers? They’re beautiful.
Etie: Thanks. They bloom all over my hometown.
A Bond:
Roy: You seem pleased, Etie. Did you get some good news?
Etie: No, I got some good meat. Nothing but the best food for my muscles!
Roy: Meat’s how you help build muscle, huh?
Etie: Obviously my weight training and daily runs played a part. Speaking of which, be back soon!
Boucheron
C Bond:
Boucheron: So, you came out of this ring? Huh, feels like wonders never cease.
Roy: That’s how an Emblem works. Anyway, I’m glad to get to know another ally.
B Bond:
Roy: You like reading, don’t you? Are there any books you’d recommend?
Boucheron: Oh, you’re a reader too? Now, let’s see… I could maybe narrow it down to 50 or so good ones.
A Bond:
Roy: That was a close call when we got separated from everyone, huh?
Boucheron: I could swear we’d gone in a straight line, but before I knew it, we were lost in the woods.
Boucheron: Good thing you were there to point out the road. I don’t know what I’d do without you.
Roy: It was no problem. I’ll guide you down whatever path you want, Boucheron.
Céline
C Bond:
Céline: We shall be leaning heavily on your might in our quest for peace.
Roy: It’s a cause I’m happy to fight for. And you’re an ally I’m happy to have.
B Bond:
Roy: Hey, Céline. Do I smell a new type of tea?
Céline: Yes, I’ve come into some new leaves. Shall we enjoy their fragrance together?
A Bond:
Céline: You’re more than a fighter. You’re an excellent strategist and commander too. Most impressive.
Roy: I had to study hard to be a successful lord. I was schooled at the largest city in my nation.
Céline: I’ve had an eclectic education, but you are proof there are gaps in my lessons.
Roy: Well, experience counts for a lot too. There’s no classroom like the battlefield.
Chloé
C Bond:
Chloé: I can’t believe I’m fighting alongside an Emblem. It feels too much like a fairy tale to be true.
Roy: Even so, it’s real. I’m here and ready to help all of you in whatever way I can.
B Bond:
Roy: That’s a lot of food. Is it all for you?
Chloé: I couldn’t decide on just one thing from the market stalls, so I got a little of everything.
A Bond:
Chloé: Do you have any favorite stories, Roy? I bet you’d like tales of dashing heroes.
Roy: Hmm. I can think of a few. The best for me are the ones with happy endings.
Chloé: I like uplifting stories too. I hope that’s how our quest to bring peace to the world turns out.
Roy: So do I. And the good news is that if we work hard enough, we’ll get to write our own ending.
Louis
C Bond:
Louis: Do you know what I noticed, Roy? Both our names are vowels bookended by consonants.
Roy: Huh. So they are. Well, that aside, shall we get back to saving the world?
B Bond:
Roy: Are those grapes? They smell delicious.
Louis: My hometown is famous for them. They’re not just tasty, but healthy as well. A perfect plant.
A Bond:
Roy: What’s got you in such a good mood, Louis?
Louis: In truth, Roy, I observed a group of people in town who were having a grand time.
Louis: They were laughing, smiling, dancing… It must be wonderful to have that kind of friendship.
Roy: That does sound wonderful. Remember their faces as we fight for peace.
Yunaka
C Bond:
Yunaka: With you at my side, Roy, I feel like I can take on anything.
Roy: I could say the same to you. I think we’ll make a fearsome team, Yunaka.
B Bond:
Yunaka: Mind if I take a closer look at your sword, Roy? I’m curious about something.
Roy: Sure, have a look. It’s called the Binding Blade.
A Bond:
Yunaka: Pardon the self-indulgent question, Roy, but do you think I’m useful?
Roy: Of course I do. It’s clear to me how everyone relies on your skills, both in and out of battle.
Yunaka: You think so? It’s all thanks to you! I’m so grateful for all you’ve done for me!
Roy: Give yourself some credit, Yunaka. You do great work. And you always keep our spirits up.
Alcryst
C Bond:
Roy: I’m glad we can finally team up, Alcryst. As Brodia’s Emblem, I’ll be counting on you!
Alcryst: You should probably lower your expectations, Lord Roy. I’m not reliable like my older brother.
B Bond:
Alcryst: There must be others who would bond with you more effectively, Lord Roy. Am I really worthy?
Roy: Of course you are, Alcryst. Don’t talk that way. I really like bonding with you!
A Bond:
Roy: You were brilliant in that last battle, Alcryst! Great work covering everyone else’s backs.
Alcryst: My allies were in danger. I couldn’t afford to hesitate… It was nothing really.
Roy: You call that nothing?! You struck each enemy down with a single blow! I call that powerful.
Alcryst: Such high praise! From the Emblem of Brodia! I don’t know what to say except…thank you.
Citrinne
C Bond:
Citrinne: Such a wonderful person hiding in Brodia’s ring all that time! I’m so happy I get to meet you.
Roy: I’m happy to see you too, Citrinne. Let’s pool our strength and give it everything we’ve got!
B Bond:
Citrinne: Tell me, Roy…is there anything you want? Let me buy you a token of our friendship.
Roy: I guess there is one thing… I have no skill with magic. Could you give me a few lessons?
A Bond:
Citrinne: I come from a kingdom of warriors, yet I’m so weak… I wish I could just buy physical strength.
Roy: Haven’t you noticed yet, Citrinne? You’ve grown much stronger since we first met.
Citrinne: Really? You honestly think so, Roy?
Roy: You can’t buy the kind of experience you found on the battlefield─and we’re not done yet.
Lapis
C Bond:
Lapis: I get to fight beside Brodia’s national treasure. What an honor! I’m looking forward to this, Roy!
Roy: No need to be that humble, Lapis. We both fight for peace…and I’m looking forward to it as well.
B Bond:
Lapis: I’m stronger than usual when I’m with you, Roy. Any chance you used to train by fighting bears?
Roy: Fighting Bern? Of course. I battled their forces all the time… Wait, did you say “Bern”?
A Bond:
Lapis: Hey, Roy? I wanted to thank you for lending me your strength all the time…so I, uh…
Roy: Why so formal? No need to thank me. I’m just doing what needs to be done.
Roy: Wait, what’s that you’ve got there?
Lapis: I wanted to commemorate our time battling as a team, so I made a doll of you! Wanna hold it?
Diamant
C Bond:
Diamant: Your ring was entrusted to my kingdom, Roy… so Brodia will be relying on your power.
Roy: I hoped this day would come. Leave it to me. Together, we’ll bring peace to your kingdom.
B Bond:
Diamant: You studied the art of statecraft, right, Roy? I know I could learn some things from you…
Roy: All I’ve ever learned is how to act like a lord. As long as it involves that, I’m happy to share.
A Bond:
Diamant: Your appearance from the ring was a surprise, but I think I could sense your presence in there.
Roy: That’s a nice thing to hear. I was glad I could finally speak with you, face to face.
Diamant: We fight well together too. Let’s just hope our combined strength is enough to usher in peace.
Roy: I hope for the same thing, Diamant. And I’m sure it will be. We’ll give it everything we have.
Amber
C Bond:
Amber: I can’t believe it… The legendary Roy was hiding inside Brodia’s ring the whole time!
Roy: I’m not that big of a deal. But hey, I’m happy that you’re happy!
B Bond:
Roy: Is something wrong, Amber? You’re sweating so much… Is it something you ate?
Amber: No, it’s not that… I was wearing an alpaca-wool sweater my family sent me. Ugh, so hot…
A Bond:
Amber: Hey, Roy! I have to ask… You do know what an alpaca is, right?
Roy: Alpacas? Those are the woolly animals that live in your homeland, right?
Amber: Yeah! I figured Brodia’s Emblem should know all about them, like how super fluffy they are!
Roy: Super fluffy, huh? They must be fun to pet too. Tell me more.
Jade
C Bond:
Roy: Uh, Jade? What’s wrong? You’ve been giving me a peculiar look for a while now.
Jade: Hush. Don’t say anything. I’m on the verge of a breakthrough for the plot of my next book.
B Bond:
Roy: Jade! I saw some kind of mineral earlier. Could you help me identify it based on a description?
Jade: Of course. I can identify any mineral out there. To start, let’s talk about color and luster.
A Bond:
Jade: I’ve noticed that you enjoy books and stories, Roy. Is that true?
Roy: I do. Stories teach the best lessons, after all. Oh! That’s right─you’re a writer, aren’t you?
Jade: I am. In fact, I’ve written something that I’d like to run by you. I need to field-test a few jokes.
Roy: Great! I can start reading it right now, if you wouldn’t mind turning the pages for me.
Ivy
C Bond:
Ivy: Are you willing to fight alongside me, Roy? Even after what I did to the king of Brodia?
Roy: Of course I am. King Morion’s death wasn’t your fault.
B Bond:
Ivy: Thank you for staying with me. Your acceptance has done much to ease my guilt.
Roy: It’s my pleasure. I’m glad we’re growing to trust each other.
A Bond:
Ivy: With you by my side, everything is much easier somehow. I must say, it’s quite a relief.
Roy: I’m glad to hear that. I know there were some complicated feelings for us to work through.
Ivy: That we did so is thanks to your goodness. I can only hope to be as strong and kind one day.
Roy: You’re more than strong enough, Ivy. But if you ever feel unsure, remember I’ll be by your side.
Kagetsu
C Bond:
Kagetsu: Roy! You and I will be fighting as one. This will surely lead to strong bonds of friendship!
Roy: Right. I mean, I hope so. I look forward to working with you, Kagetsu.
B Bond:
Kagetsu: Roy! I wish to know you more intimately off the battlefield. Engage with me now!
Roy: Oh, you mean you want to practice the─ Wait, now? Right now?
A Bond:
Kagetsu: Our bond has grown deep indeed! I care for you very much, Roy. Do you feel the same?
Roy: Sure. I’ve really come to respect you. Your dedication to learning and growing amazes me.
Kagetsu: That is very kind! You are reaffirming that my affection for you is not misplaced.
Roy: I’ve never met anyone as enthusiastic about friendship as you, Kagetsu. It’s taught me a lot.
Zelkov
C Bond:
Zelkov: A bright power seems almost to *radiate* from you, Roy. I hope you will lend me this strength.
Roy: I’ll do all I can for you, Zelkov.
B Bond:
Zelkov: Our training begins now, Roy. It ends only when my body *collapses* from exhaustion.
Roy: I like your dedication, but there’s no need to go that far in practice. Taking breaks is important.
A Bond:
Zelkov: Today, I will be *painting.* Please join me.
Roy: That’s another one of your interests, right? What are you gonna paint?
Zelkov: A portrait of you. Please remain still, that I might *preserve* you for future generations.
Roy: Uh, thanks. Haha, somehow this is more nerve-racking than battle…
Fogado
C Bond:
Fogado: Roy, I’d like to be able to call on your strength when I’m fighting as a Sentinel. But is that OK?
Roy: More than OK, Fogado. Anything you need, just say the word.
B Bond:
Fogado: I’m a man of many talents but one thing I can’t do is fish. You Emblems have any secret tips?
Roy: No, but there are skills anyone can learn. You practice, and I’ll try to give you some pointers.
A Bond:
Fogado: Hey, remember that village we saved from the monsters? The folks there are throwing a feast!
Roy: That’s great, Fogado. You should go.
Fogado: What? The only reason we won was because of your power. You’ve gotta come too!
Roy: Oh, I see! Well then, I’d be more than happy to join in the festivities.
Pandreo
C Bond:
Pandreo: Lord Roy, I thank you for lending me your strength. As a cleric, I am deeply honored.
Roy: Oh, you don’t have to bow or anything like that, Pandreo. We’re equals here.
B Bond:
Pandreo: I’m working on a new prayer dance, but it just isn’t worship-y enough. Any words of advice?
Roy: I’m not sure I’m the best person to ask. But if you like, I can take a look. Go ahead; let’s see it.
A Bond:
Pandreo: I want to hold a party to honor you, Lord Roy, just as you honor me with your support.
Roy: You don’t need to do that. Working with all of you to achieve peace─that’s enough for me.
Pandreo: You’re too kind…which is why I wanted to throw you a party in the first place!
Roy: All right, it sounds like fun. Perhaps you could debut your new prayer dance at the party!
Bunet
C Bond:
Bunet: That hair of yours, it’s the color of a fine chili pepper. I wonder if it tastes as fiery as it looks.
Roy: My hair looks like a chili pepper? Thank you, I guess…
B Bond:
Bunet: I created a new dish inspired by you, Roy. Please, have a look.
Roy: Let me guess, you used chili peppers? That red color is a dead giveaway. Whoa, looks spicy!
A Bond:
Bunet: Roy, look. This flower─the color is quite beautiful, don’t you think?
Roy: Yes, it is─very. Is it a favorite flower of yours?
Bunet: It’s the chili-pepper flower. I thought you’d like looking at it, since you can’t taste the pepper.
Roy: That’s very thoughtful of you, Bunet. Thank you for helping me taste the chili, at least in spirit.
Timerra
C Bond:
Roy: So, Timerra, you’re a princess and also a Sentinel? It sounds like I’m in capable hands.
Timerra: Thanks and right back at ya. I mean, you are the Emblem from Brodia, the Kingdom of Warriors.
B Bond:
Timerra: I’m so glad you came to the rescue, Roy. I even wrote a thank-you song. You’ve gotta hear it!
Roy: I’m told you have an amazing singing voice. I’m looking forward to finally hearing it for myself.
A Bond:
Roy: I’m curious, Timerra, what keeps you fighting in this war?
Timerra: When I traveled all over, I met lots of people and saw how they lived. They were good people.
Timerra: I want to protect them, their way of life, their smiling faces. I want to help however I can.
Roy: That’s very admirable. I promise, we’ll work together to keep those people safe.
Panette
C Bond:
Roy: You’re an extremely agile fighter, Panette. It’s extraordinary to see in battle.
Panette: Your words honor me. I shall work even harder to prove myself worthy of your compliments.
B Bond:
Panette: I have found an abundance of insect specimens. Here, they’re for you to observe and enjoy.
Roy: Oh, wow. That is indeed an abundance. Thank you, but could you please move them away?
A Bond:
Roy: Don’t you want to take a break? It’s so late, and yet here you are, still training.
Panette: Oh, no. I must grow stronger if I hope to help bring about peace.
Roy: You are strong and dedicated too. I consider it an honor to fight by your side, Panette.
Panette: Your words bring joy to my heart, and I feel ever more inspired to crush our enemies!
Merrin
C Bond:
Merrin: I want to become a more powerful knight. Sir Roy, please, help me. Lend me your strength.
Roy: I would be glad to, Merrin. I’ll work with you for as long as you’ll have me.
B Bond:
Roy: In my world, we don’t have giant wolves like the one you ride. I find them very fascinating.
Merrin: So, you have an interest in animals? Wonderful! I’ll go get my encyclopedia of rare critters!
A Bond:
Roy: What are you doing, Merrin? All those poses… Are they part of a new training regimen?
Merrin: Oh no, not at all, Sir Roy. I’m just working on my signature pose.
Roy: Your…signature pose? Why would you need something like that?
Merrin: To look cool, of course. But hey, I’m working on one for you too. You’ll look amazing in battle!
Hortensia
C Bond:
Hortensia: You’re Brodia’s Emblem? You’re so beautiful. My impression of Brodia was wrong.
Roy: Thanks, Hortensia. I’m glad to hear that.
B Bond:
Hortensia: You’re quite the charmer, Roy. I’ll bet lots of people have been taken with you.
Roy: You think? That’s kind of you to say…
A Bond:
Hortensia: It’s time, Roy! Let’s go show ’em how well we fight!
Roy: Haha, I like your energy. I bet you’re strong enough to take things on, all on your own.
Hortensia: Oh. I thought you liked hanging out with me, though…
Roy: Hortensia, I’m always happy to spend time with you. Let’s do it.
Seadall
C Bond:
Seadall: It was our destiny to fight beside one another, Roy. To celebrate, I’d like to show you a dance.
Roy: I’m honored, Seadall. I’m told you’re a superb dancer. At last, I get to see for myself.
B Bond:
Seadall: This sandwich! More sumptuous than what I usually eat for my dance. Juicy ham! Dare I?
Roy: Haha, you’re the fortune-teller, Seadall. You tell me.
A Bond:
Seadall: I was just divining the future and I saw… I saw our friends suffering. I don’t want that.
Roy: No one wants suffering or war. But our friends fight so they can, one day, live in peace.
Seadall: Then I must make sure that peace happens. Roy, will you dance with me on the battlefield?
Roy: I will. I’ll add every ounce of my power to your beautiful dance to protect our friends.
Rosado
C Bond:
Rosado: I love your hair, Roy. It’s such a vibrant color! Catches the eye.
Roy: Does it? Thanks! I don’t think anyone’s ever told me that before. I like your perspective.
B Bond:
Rosado: Does a cute ring boost an Emblem’s cuteness? I might be even more adorable as an Emblem…
Roy: There’s never a dull moment with you, Rosado. You always have such thought-provoking ideas.
A Bond:
Rosado: I have to admit, I hate war. There’s nothing appealing in it for me at all.
Roy: You’re right. The appeal is in ending it─securing peace for the world and our friends.
Rosado: Hehehe, typical Roy. That’s true, though. As long as we have friends to protect, I’ll fight.
Roy: Same. Now hold on to that thought. Let it dispel any lingering doubts.
Goldmary
C Bond:
Goldmary: I like having you around, Roy. Your strength complements my sophistication.
Roy: Uh, sure. Yeah, we work well together.
B Bond:
Roy: Everything you cook looks delicious, Goldmary. Really makes me wish I could eat.
Goldmary: I suppose you’ll have to content yourself with the aroma.
A Bond:
Goldmary: Could I ask a favor of you, Roy?
Roy: Of course. I’ll help any way I can.
Goldmary: I’ve heard of a delightful hot spring I’d like to visit. Would you accompany me?
Roy: Must be in a dangerous area if you need an escort. Don’t worry─I’ll get you there safely.
Lindon
C Bond:
Lindon: What type of magic coaxes an Emblem from its ring, I wonder? Maybe I should experiment.
Roy: I don’t know if I like the way you say “experiment”…
B Bond:
Roy: Is that another book? You really like reading, don’t you?
Lindon: I do. Even at my age, there’s a lot to learn from books. Would you like me to read to you?
A Bond:
Roy: Lindon! I just heard a loud noise. Is everything OK?
Lindon: Oh, just a failed magical experiment. I think I learned something at least!
Roy: Never mind that─the fire’s going to spread if we don’t put it out quickly!
Lindon: So it will. Roy, your job is to figure out a way to keep the fire at bay while I fetch some water.
Saphir
C Bond:
Saphir: I’m honored to be entrusted with Brodia’s Emblem Ring. Let’s crack some skulls, Roy.
Roy: Indeed, Saphir. But let’s focus our cracking efforts on the skulls that deserve it.
B Bond:
Roy: You’ve got an interesting fishing technique, Saphir. Most folks use a rod and line.
Saphir: Why bother with that nonsense when I can snatch them up with my bare hands?
A Bond:
Saphir: You gave me the power to defend my country and my friends, Roy. I’ll never forget that.
Roy: It’s true that I’ve given you some power, Saphir, but don’t attribute everything to me.
Roy: You’ve always had the power to fight for your friends and country. All I did was lend a hand.
Saphir: Hehe, OK, OK, stop it or I’m gonna blush. Let’s just get back to it.
Veyle
C Bond:
Veyle: Roy, I want to do whatever I can to bring peace to this world. Will you help me?
Roy: Of course, Veyle. My strength is yours to wield for as long as you need.
B Bond:
Veyle: Roy, look! I’ve never seen food this red before. I bet it’s super spicy and super delicious.
Roy: But, Veyle…the look, the smell, the burning! It does not look like it belongs in anyone’s mouth.
A Bond:
Veyle: Thank you for fighting beside me, Roy, and for sharing your strength with me.
Roy: You don’t have to thank me, Veyle. I want to make sure I live up to your expectations.
Veyle: Help me do good things for the people of this world. That’s all I ask.
Roy: I will. I’ll be by your side until every dream you have for this world comes true.
Mauvier
C Bond:
Mauvier: Sir Roy of the Emblems. It is a proud honor to fight alongside you.
Roy: I feel the same about you. It is rare indeed to be so proud of a fellow soldier.
B Bond:
Roy: Are you training again? Please consider taking a break. It’s unhealthy to push yourself.
Mauvier: A…break? What should one do during a break?
A Bond:
Roy: Serving alongside you, I’ve come to know a kind and gentle man, despite your own claims.
Mauvier: I cannot bear to see the weak suffer, knowing I might have the power to save them.
Roy: Many would agree, but few take those words to heart as you do. I respect you for that.
Mauvier: Thank you. You have reminded me that not all of my choices have been mistakes.
Anna
C Bond:
Anna: Hey, Roy. We’ve got some great stuff in stock! Buy some and I might even give you a discount.
Roy: That’s nice of you, but I’m an Emblem, so I don’t actually carry money. Sorry about that.
B Bond:
Anna: Word is that there’s a festival coming up. Wanna go together? It’ll be fun!
Roy: A festival sounds like a great chance to see everyone at peace for a change. I’d love to go!
A Bond:
Anna: Aw… This is bad.
Roy: What’s wrong? You look like you just lost a fortune.
Anna: I thought this stuff would fly off the shelves, but it’s all dead stock. What do I do?
Roy: As a merchant once told me, “time is money.” The quicker we get friends to help, the better!
Jean
C Bond:
Jean: With you on our side, Roy, I know we can save so many more people!
Roy: I’ll try to live up to your expectations. Hopefully I can fight hard enough to make a difference.
B Bond:
Jean: Roy, would you say I’m getting better out on the battlefield?
Roy: Oh, absolutely. In fact, I feel like I need to work even harder just to keep up.
A Bond:
Roy: Your medical know-how has been a big help. You’ve clearly been studying.
Jean: Thanks, Roy! I still have a long way to go before I’m a real doctor, though.
Roy: Now you’re being humble. We’ll need those skills of yours in our fight for peace.
Jean: Right! I’ll keep studying and working hard to make my home island proud!
Nel
C Bond:
Nel: Your hair shines bright like fire. It is a beacon on the battlefield.
Roy: Thank you. It comes from my father, so you could say I’m proud of it.
B Bond:
Roy: An entire shaker, Nel? I can’t imagine any food needing that much salt.
Nel: It is a pity you will never be able to taste my gift to culinary advancement.
A Bond:
Nel: You always face danger without any hesitation. I wonder if you even have the capacity for fear.
Roy: Of course I feel fear. Courage is just deciding that something else is more important.
Roy: For me, that’s fighting alongside my friends. I want to help and protect them.
Nel: I understand. And I hope that you will consider me to be one of those friends.
Rafal
C Bond:
Rafal: Although my strength is all that is needed in battle…your help will not go amiss.
Roy: I’m glad you think so. I look forward to helping out as I can.
B Bond:
Rafal: Your father…what was he like?
Roy: Amazing. I’m just a cub in comparison. I can only hope to become like him someday.
A Bond:
Rafal: I thought I had acquired power and strength, yet I am still…weak. Is it strange to want more?
Roy: I don’t think power in itself is good or bad, so seeking it doesn’t strike me as strange.
Roy: I have also needed power to end turmoil. The important thing is knowing how to wield it.
Rafal: I have no intentions of straying from my path. I will remain true, as you have shown.
Zelestia
C Bond:
Zelestia: What is it, Roy? You keep looking my way. Is something amiss? You can be honest with me.
Roy: You’re a Mage Dragon, right? Those exist in my world, though I’m not aware of any like you.
B Bond:
Roy: I heard you haven’t been sitting down for meals with the others. Is everything OK, Zelestia?
Zelestia: Oh, I just get so busy. I should sit down for a good meal. Thank you for watching out for me.
A Bond:
Zelestia: My friends are my family. When I think of losing someone again, I become so afraid.
Roy: I worried when I was put in charge of the army. The support of my friends gave me courage.
Roy: Let me support you and help alleviate your fears, just as my friends did for me.
Zelestia: Thank you, Roy. You’re family to me as well. I look forward to having you fight by my side.
Gregory
C Bond:
Roy: I’ve never seen clothes quite like yours, Gregory. Is there a meaning behind them?
Gregory: In truth, I don’t like appearing so frightening. But it deters people from messing with me.
B Bond:
Gregory: I’ve been devising a strategy for escaping while surrounded. Care to give me your thoughts?
Roy: Of course. I may not look it, but I’ve led an army before. I’d be happy to help.
A Bond:
Gregory: Say, Roy… Pain and fear are rather unpleasant, aren’t they?
Roy: They are indeed. Pain and fear cause so much suffering. My constant wish is to prevent that.
Gregory: Mine too. And I guess to achieve that, I can’t just run away. I have to stand up for peace.
Roy: I feel just the same. Allow me, then, to aid you in your quest to bring peace to this world.
Madeline
C Bond:
Roy: The way you fought was impressive…expertly taking down enemies, while defending allies.
Madeline: I’m not worthy of such praise. I only did what needed to be done.
B Bond:
Madeline: You’re the one who deserves praise. Even outside of battle, you act with poise and grace.
Roy: When you say it like that…I’m a little embarrassed. But thank you.
A Bond:
Madeline: You’re nobility, but you always act so humbly toward everyone.
Madeline: Not just that, but your swordsmanship is incredible. How do I become so remarkable?
Roy: I don’t think I compare to my father yet, but my battle experience might speak for itself.
Roy: If you’re interested, I’ll teach you what I know, and we can strive to bring peace to this world.
