Heroes of Light and Shadow Base: Catria and Est
Base conversations
Catria and Est 1
Est:
Sister! I got a gift for you today.
Catria:
Wow, thanks. What is it?
Est:
A lance that brings luck. I heard it brings good fortune when you
smash enemies with it.
Catria:
Are you sure it's not cursed...?
Est:
No way! Everyone who used this lance got a promotion, a lover,
money, stuff like that...
Catria:
Sounds shady... Luck is something you grasp with your own strength,
not something that requires trifles like this.
Est:
Don't you want it...? And to think I bought it from the shop just
for you...
Catria:
...I guess it can't be helped. Alright, I'll have it.
Est:
Hey, you're not faking that unwillingness and going to secretly use
it, right...?
Catria:
I won't use it!
Est:
Hmmm... Oh dear, I don't think this'll sell if I put it on the
counter like this... Hey, Catria, what do you think of this? This is
the latest lance model. It has a sword and an axe on its tip...
Catria:
Est, stop bringing me prototypes and expecting me to evaluate
them...
Catria and Est 2
Catria:
Est... There's something I've been wanting to ask you for a while,
can I?
Est:
What is it?
Catria:
I heard you started a shop with Abel, and that you were even selling
weapons... Did you make a proper living from stocking whatever you
could get your hands on? Since it's you, I was worried that you
might have started it on a whim.
Est:
It wasn't on a whim. Besides, since we're always using weapons in
combat, I'm sure we have an eye for their quality.
Catria:
Well, that could be true indeed, but...
Est:
And since we have connections with the Macedonian and Altean armies,
we don't have to worry about customers.
Catria:
Oh yes. Both of you used to be in the army.
Est:
Plus, even legendary weapons break after being used long enough, so
there's never a lack of demand.
Catria:
I see...
Est:
That's not all! I can carry them with my pegasus, so transportation
isn't an issue either... Catria? Are you alright? You look like
you're in shock...
Catria:
Hmm... You appear unreliable, but you're steadier than I thought.
Est:
No way. I'm always relying on you and the others to pull me from
danger.
Catria:
And that makes me think that perhaps, you just really know how to
swim with the tide...
Catria and Est 3
Catria:
Yaaah!
Est:
Kyaah!
Catria:
Oh... I'm sorry, Est... Are you hurt?
Est:
No worries; it's just a graze. But... You're kinda scary today,
Catria.
Catria:
Is that right...? Maybe I'm taking today's practice too seriously.
Let's stop for today.
Est:
Catria... Tell me straight. Do you hate me now?
Catria:
What? Never. What are you babbling about?
Est:
Today... it really felt like you were trying to crush your
resentment by force... Hey, if there's anything you don't like, let
me fix it... Please don't hate me...!
Catria:
Don't cry, Est...! I'm sorry; it's my fault. When I think of you and
Abel, I get this unbearable feeling in my chest... and I just get so
angry... I despise myself for feeling like this... You haven't done
anything wrong. It's just that my heart is weak... I'm sorry, I'm
sorry!
Est:
...Hmmm. So I take it you're in love with someone?
Catria:
Wha...? Ah, aaah! You deceived me!
Est:
I'm not gonna cry forever. It's your fault for being mean, Catria.
Catria:
...I'm sorry.
Est:
I forgive you. However, only if you tell me his name.
Catria:
W-w-what...
Est:
Don't play dumb. You're terrible at lying, Catria. I can give you
advice. Hey, it's fine to rely on me every now and again.
Catria:
............!
Est:
Oh dear... She fled. I don't believe it. Catria can be even more
childish than me. Next time I catch her, I'll make her confess
everything no matter what it takes.
