Heroes of Light and Shadow Base: Warren and Chris
Base conversations
Warren and Chris 1
If Chris is male
Chris:
Oh, Warren. Where did you go? I haven't seen you around for a while...
Warren:
To the forest.
Chris:
Forest?
Warren:
I'm a hunter, after all.
Chris:
Huh? C-could you come back here?
Warren:
...Huh, oh sorry. You weren't finished speaking...
Chris:
Yes. I'm glad you understand. I thought I said something to offend you.
Warren:
Nah. It's just that I'm used to being alone. I'm not good at talking...
Chris:
I see. But, I heard you're acquaintanced with Dame Catria?
Warren:
Yeah... A long time ago, I treated Catria's pegasus after an accident.
Chris:
I see, so that's how you two met.
Chris:
Dame Catria told me. That you're a blunt, but gentle... Wait, what? He's gone again... I must have said something wrong after all.
If Chris is female
Chris:
Oh, Warren. Where did you go? I haven't seen you around for a while...

To the forest.
Chris:
Forest?
Warren:
I'm a hunter, after all.
Chris:
Huh? C-could you come back here?
Warren:
...Huh, oh sorry. You weren't finished speaking...
Chris:
I'm glad you understand. I thought you didn't like me.
Warren:
Nah. It's just that I'm used to being alone. I'm not good at talking...
Chris:
I see. But, I heard you're acquaintanced with Dame Catria?
Warren:
Yeah... A long time ago, I treated Catria's pegasus after an accident.
Chris:
I see, so that's how you met...
Chris:
Dame Catria told me. That you're a blunt, but gentle... Wait, what? He's gone again... Oh dear, does he not like me after all...?
Warren and Chris 2
Chris:
Hello, Warren.
Warren:
Oh, so it's you.
Chris:
Can we talk like before? I want to know more about you. We're comrades-in-arms, after all.
Warren:
...Sure, I don't mind.
Chris:
You said you're a hunter. So, how is a hunter's life? I'm from the countryside as well, but I spent all my time training with my grandfather...
Warren:
...
Chris:
Y-you don't like talking to me, do you?
Warren:
Nah, that ain't it. Sorry for giving you the wrong idea. But, I'm not used to talking. I dunno how to start...
Chris:
For instance, did you always hunt alone?
Warren:
Yeah, always alone. I'd hunt small game in the forest, but sometimes I'd ascend the snowy mountains to catch the big ones... If a blizzard came, I'd dig a hole and wait there until it stopped snowing. For days even...
Chris:
What did you do to pass the time?
Warren:
Nothing at all. Just wait.
Chris:
Staying alone, doing nothing for days...? I don't think I'd be able to stand that.
Warren:
That's because I'm used to being alone. My usual life is like that too.
Chris:
Don't you have a family?
Warren:
Nope. I live alone in the forest. I hunt what I need in the forest, and live in a hut deep inside. If there isn't any business... I spend years without seeing anyone.
Chris:
But, don't you feel lonely?
Warren:
Catria asked me that too, back then... But I don't really know what feeling lonely means. I've been alone as far as I remember. Being alone was a given. So, I never felt anything about it.
Chris:
I see...
Warren:
Even if everyone else disappeared from this world... It wouldn't change a thing for me. And on the other hand, if I were to disappear from this world... It wouldn't change a thing for the world, either.
Chris:
You're mistaken, Warren. We're comrades. If you were to disappear, I would be sad.
Warren:
...
Chris:
So, don't disappear suddenly.
Warren:
...Don't worry. I don't plan to.
Warren and Chris 3
If Chris is male
Chris:
Warren, what are your plans when this war is over?
Warren:
Same as before. Live as a hunter.
Chris:
I see...
Warren:
... But... My feelings might have changed.
Chris:
Hm?
Warren:
It's something I've never felt before... I feel like I'll have a hard time parting with you guys once this war ends. Chris, I want to talk to you all, my comrades, again. That's how I feel.
Chris:
Warren...
Warren:
We stuck together for a long time. I believe I've gotten to know why people feel lonely. People don't feel lonely because they're alone... but because they've become alone. Parting from a precious companion feels lonely. That's what I've learned...
Chris:
And that's why I'd like to meet you again. After this war is over. Let us meet again and again.
Warren:
Yeah... let's.
If Chris is female
Chris:
Warren, what are your plans when this war is over?
Warren:
Same as before. Live as a hunter.
Chris:
I see...
Warren:
... But... My feelings might have changed.
Chris:
Huh?
Warren:
It's something I've never felt before... I feel like I'll have a hard time parting with you once this war ends. Chris, I want to talk to you again. That's how I feel.
Chris:
Warren...
Warren:
We stuck together for a long time. I believe I've gotten to know why people feel lonely. People don't feel lonely because they're alone... but because they've become alone. Parting from a precious companion feels lonely. That's what I've learned...
Chris:
Warren... Then we should definitely meet again. After this war is over. Let us meet again and again.
Warren:
Yeah... let's.
