Heroes of Light and Shadow Base: Caesar and Chris
Base conversations
Caesar and Chris 1
If Chris is male
Chris:
Caesar... Oh, are you reading?
If Chris is female
Chris:
Caesar... Sorry, are you reading?
Caesar:
I am. Chris... right? You're not disturbing me. It's a book I've read many times already.
Chris:
You seemed to be engrossed in it... What kind of book is it?
Caesar:
It's a book about tactics. As the leader of a group... I figured I should enhance myself. The platoon I lead is far smaller than an army, but tactics is still important.
If Chris is male
Chris:
Nonetheless... I felt my blood run cold in that battle. Your mercenary company was meant to be no match for a proper army, but it was like fighting a unit of elite one-man armies.
If Chris is female
Chris:
Nonetheless... I was in disbelief during that battle. Your mercenary company was meant to be no match for a proper army, but it was like fighting a unit of elite one-man armies.
Caesar:
Though you still beat us in the end.
Chris:
That's because... Prince Marth carefully selected our numbers and equipment and made the best preparations he could.
Caesar:
Exactly.
Chris:
Hm?
Caesar:
The victor is often decided before the battle starts. Prince Marth prepared himself to win. We could not. That difference decided the outcome. The tactics used later were mere details.
Chris:
Is that written in that book?
Caesar:
Yes.
Chris:
That sounds interesting... May I have a look?
Caesar:
Sure. You can return it once you're done.
Caesar and Chris 2
Caesar:
Hey, Chris. How is the book going?
Chris:
I started reading, but... There are many words I don't recognize, so I'm having trouble.
Caesar:
Yes, I forgot to warn you. That book originates from another continent. It's no surprise you find it hard to read.
Chris:
Where did you get it?
Caesar:
Have you ever been to Warren?
If Chris is male
Chris:
No. I know it's a port city, though.
If Chris is female
Chris:
No. I know it's a port city, though...
Caesar:
My base is in Warren. Ships from all over the world go there. I got the book as a reward for escorting a foreign ship... basically.
Chris:
So you can understand their language?
Caesar:
Yes, with no trouble. After all, mercenaries do more than just fight in wars. I often escort people, too-- all sorts of people.
Chris:
You're quite knowledgeable... It appears there's more to a mercenary's way of life than I thought...
Caesar and Chris 3
If Chris is male
Chris:
Do you have a family back in Warren?
Caesar:
Yes... I have a little sister.
Chris:
A sister, how nice. Is she all right without you?
Caesar:
Well, it's rather complicated, you see... My sister... is sick.
Chris:
I see...
Caesar:
Her life won't be in danger as long as she takes her medicine, but... The medicine is expensive. I couldn't pay for it with just the salary I earned at my old job in Warren, so I had to look for faraway work like this.
Chris:
...Then you must return home alive, for your sister's sake as well.
Caesar:
Yeah. And I'm counting on you to make that happen, Chris.
Chris:
Me?
Caesar:
Chris, I believe you are the cornerstone of this army. It's not just because you're Marth's Royal Guard. It's pretty clear to anyone who sees you in battle. The way you fight will decide the outcome of this war... That's how I see it.
Chris:
...
Caesar:
Suffice to say, Prince Marth isn't the only one relying on you. I know I'm asking too much, but... Chris, that is why I'll lend you my strength. In peace and in war.
Chris:
You have my thanks, Caesar.
Caesar:
No need for thanks. I am a mercenary... Ultimately, I only think of my own profit. So, don't be shy. Feel free to ask me if there's anything I can do for you.
If Chris is female
Chris:
Do you have a family back in Warren?
Caesar:
Yes... I have a little sister.
Chris:
You've a sister...? I'm sure she's really cute. Is she all right without you?
Caesar:
Well, it's rather complicated, you see... My sister... is sick.
Chris:
I see...
Caesar:
Her life won't be in danger as long as she takes her medicine, but... The medicine is expensive. I couldn't pay for it with just the salary I earned at my old job in Warren, so I had to look for faraway work like this.
Chris:
...Then you must return home alive, no matter what, for your sister's sake too.
Caesar:
Yeah. And I'm counting on you to make that happen, Chris.
Chris:
Me?
Caesar:
Chris, I believe you are the cornerstone of this army. It's not just because you're Marth's Royal Guard. It's pretty clear to anyone who sees you in battle. The way you fight will decide the outcome of this war... That's how I see it.
Chris:

Caesar:
Suffice to say, Prince Marth isn't the only one relying on you. I know I'm asking too much, but... Chris, that is why I'll lend you my strength. In peace and in war.
Chris:
Thank you, Caesar.
Caesar:
No need for thanks. I am a mercenary... Ultimately, I only think of my own profit. So, don't be shy. Feel free to ask me if there's anything I can do for you.
