INTRODUCTION
==============================================================================

     Greetings, and thanks for checking out my Character Support FAQ for Fire
Emblem.  This is my VERY FIRST submission to GameFAQS and I hope you will at
the very least find this guide slightly entertaining.

     This FAQ will eventually(I hope) include the many support conversations
found in Fire Emblem, and I will add a few of my own comments on what I think
of the conversation.

     For those who don't know what a support conversation is well I will try
and explain it to you.  In the game almost every character has special or
secret conversations with other characters, these can be discussions on topics
such as past events, what they think of each other, or even what they had for
breakfast.  In order to get the support conversations or SC's as I will refer
to them as you must put two characters that you wish to have a SC together
adjacent to one another and leave them there for a certain amount of turns.
The amount of turns it exactly takes varies from person to person and after the
required amount of turns together has passed a new option will appear on the
characters action menu called "Support", simply pushing this will begin a SC
with another character.  You can check the status of your SC's by going into
the menu screen and entering the "Unit" screen, from here simply move to the
farthest left screen titled "Support Chance" and you will see a layout similar
to this:

Name          Ally
==============================================================================
Eliwood      Hector     ---     ---
Hector      Eliwood    Serra    ---
Guy             ---     ---     ---
Dorcas          ---     ---     ---
Bartre          ---     ---     ---
Rebecca       Lowen     ---     ---
Serra        Hector  Matthew    ---
==============================================================================

     What all this means is that Eliwood can have a SC with Hector, and thus
Hector can in turn have one with Eliwood.  Hector can also have a SC with
Serra, and so on.  There are 3 levels of SC for each character that can get
SC's with one another(does that make sense?) OK so Hector and Eliwood can have
a total of 3 SC's with each other level "C", "B", and "A", but another
limitation is that each character can only have a total of 5 SC's in one game
meaning that if you wanted to see all 3 of Eliwood and Hectors chats but you
also wanted to see all of Hector and Serras conversations then you would be out
of luck since you can only get 5 total SC's in one play through.  You could get
2 of Eliwood/Hector and 3 of Serra/Hector, or 2 of Serra/Hector and 3 of
Eliwood/Hector but not the total 3 for each.  Seeing as how some characters can
hace conversations with 5 or more characters, you will obviously have to replay
this game a lot if you want them all.

     OK, hopefully that cleared up a little bit and I hope I will be able to
at least try to get all of the conversations, even if it will take awhile.

               Added a "*" next to the pairing I have completed.
               (November 29, 2003)
Version 0.60:  It has been one whole month since I started this FAQ, I don't
               know if this is where I expected it to be or not, but, with a
               lot of work, and help, here it is... I am aiming at Christmas
               for the date when I have all of he conversations completed.  I
               will work on a new layout after that, I already have one in
               mind... Anyways still a lot of work to go...
               Completed Merlinus's, Farina's, and Renault's sections.
               (December 7, 2003)
Version 0.65:  Sorry for the lack of an update, I had Finals this past week,
               now I'm free, Hazaa!
               Completed Vaida's and Nino's section.  Removed the B from Guy
               and Louise's conversation since they can only get as far as B
               anyway, it is now a plain *.
               (December 13, 2003)
Version 0.70:  Trying to pile on the conversations, it may look like there is
               a lot left to go by looking at the empty spots next to the name
               but for each conversation I get done two stars get put in.
               Not so sure about a Christmas release but ya never know...
               Completed Harken's, Karel's, and Louise's sections. Got a few
               random ones poked in here and there...
               (December 18, 2003)
Version 0.75:  Oh well... Looks like I'm out of time for that Christmas release,
               sorry about that, with everything going on during the holidays I
               never had the chance to really go at it.
               Completed Pent's, Hawkeye's, Marcus's, and Wallace's sections.
               (December 28, 2003)
Version 0.76:  Here we go, I don't think I have this listed in my FAQ but if
               some of you are having problems getting the support conversations
               it might be that you are trying to get them during Lyndis's story
               since the context of most of the conversations have to do with
               events one year after Lyndis's story, it is understandable why
               you cannot access them until you are in control as Eliwood as
               your main character. Sorry no conversations this time I've been
               busy. I'm getting close to having them all though...
               Oh! I added a couple Frequently asked questions...
               (Jan 5, 2004)
Version 0.85:  starting to fill in the missing conversations from the specific
               characters lists, thanks to friends sending in their own convos
               to add to mine.
               Hmm, a nice few sections are done now... lets see...
               Completed Rebecca's, Bartre's, Raven's, Florina's, Erk's, and
               Canas's sections. I might have said someone who I already did
               or I might of missed out someone... just look through the
               characters if your not sure who is done.
               (January 15, 2004)
Version 0.86:  Added Wil and Rath's conversation pairing, thanks to Tracy Smith.
               With that I have completed another section...  ...... ...Rath's!
               sorry, I had to scroll down to see which one it was I had
               finished.
               I've decided that the rnking thing needs a bit of fine tuning,
               as you all may have noticed I have left those blank for the most
               part.  It is just the way it is set up where conversations with
               no comedy, but indeed are very interesting and great, get a poor
               rating because of the way it is set up, so for conversations with
               no comedy I will replace COMEDIC VALUE with INTEREST LEVEL...
               I guess that makes it fair... ...... Writing all these
               conversations has put me in the habit of putting ...'s in places
               where I would normally put a comma... ... ...... anyways, I have
               very few left to do and I hope to have them done this week,
               cause I am moving after that and I doubt I'll be able to work on
               this in awhile since I won't have access to a computer.  Again
               if this is the last update in a while, which I hope it won't be,
               thanks a lot to everyone for reading my FAQ, and a special thanks
               to those who have given me any kind of help at all, wheter it be
               sending me conversations to add, or just plain saying keep up the
               good work.
               (January 19, 2004)
Version 0.90:  This is my final update...
               Completed Serra's, Lucius's, Dart's, and Wil's Sections...
               This is it. I'm leaving tommorow, this is as far as my FAQ goes
               I'm afraid... When I get access to a computer I will try and
               finish it up. Until then...
Version 0.95:  Hey I got a chance to update the FAQ so here it is, this should
               now contain all the conversations in the game;
               Support conversations anyways...
               Uh I might update a bit later just to clean the errors and
               mistakes undoubtedly rampant throughout this FAQ.
               I'll probably add stuff like the bonuses the supports give to
               characters stats and of course which supports result in endings

               On another note I haven't checked all my mail to see who I owe
               credit too so if your name is not in the credits just mail me
               and if I remember you :P I'll put ya in. Just be sure to tell me
               what ya want to be credit as in my FAQ.
Version 0.96:  Back from the grave! I decided to add a conversation code to help
               search for specific conversations.  Just hit the Ctrl+F combo and
               type in the conversation code, and away you go.  Also picked up
               on a few typos...
Version 0.97:  Back again with another update! this time I just added a section
               about Pent and Louise, and basically which levels unlock their
               conversations.  See you next update.

==============================================================================
CHARACTER LIST
==============================================================================

The following is a character list and how many people they can have SC's with
and who, as well as the rate at which they gain points going towards an SC, as
there are three different levels C, B, and A and a different amount of
turns stood next to each other is needed for different people.  Their growth
rates may vary, as well as their starting values.

Ex/ of rate  25/2

25 is the starting value, and 2 is how much it goes up by each turn the
characters stay together.

The amount needed for each SC level is as follows:

Level C:   81 points
Level B:  161 points
Level A:  241 points

A "*" next to the growth rate means I have the conversations done for that pair
of characters.

Character          No. of Supports          With          Growth Rate

PENT AND LOUISE
==============================================================================

     Alright, here is another little helpful section.  Basically Pent and Louise
get their conversations during different levels.  The levels their conversations
are triggered are as follows:

C RANK - CHAPTER 27 (Cog of Destiny)

B RANK - CHAPTER 30 (Victory or Death)

A RANK - FINAL CHAPTER (Light)*

For the A rank, it is in the second half of the final chapter.

Hope that clears a bit up.

==============================================================================
CONVERSATION CODES
==============================================================================

     The new section, conversation codes.  Just scan the list for the pairing
you want to read and copy the code, do a Ctrl+F, paster the code, hit enter,
whamo!

==============================================================================
SUPPORT CONVERSATIONS
==============================================================================

     Finally, here are the SC's I have gathered up thus far, I plan on getting
them all but it will take some time and work so bare with me.

I will list the characters who are having the conversation first then the rank
of the conversation, followed by the conversation itself and then a few
comments by my part.

ex/

ELIWOOD/HECTOR     C RANK

ELIWOOD: "Them's some nice logs you got cut there"
HECTOR:  "Thanks for noticing"
(note this does not exist)

(out of a possible 10)
STORY RANK:       0
COMEDIC VALUE:    9
OVERALL RANK:   4.5

COMMENTS: What the hell does logs got to do with anything? on a plus side it
was kinda funny.

that was just an example I made up to show what my format will be, since there
will be repeats of conversations between the different character sections I
may have some data redundancy, I might change it if the size issue gets too big
or if anyone has a better idea on how to arrange them.

     Anyways here goes:

==============================================================================
ELIWOOD
==============================================================================

ELIWOOD/HECTOR     C RANK     CC003

HECTOR:   Ah, Eliwood! It's good to see you're still well!
ELIWOOD:  Hm.  You expected otherwise?
HECTOR:   No, of course not, I knew you'd be fine.
ELIWOOD:  Hector, wait for a moment.  What did you want?
HECTOR:   Nothing.  It's enough to see that you live and are still fighting.
          Just wanted to make sure you weren't overdoing it with me not around.
ELIWOOD:  I should say the same to you.
HECTOR:   Me? don't worry about me.  I'm fine.  I'm built tough you know.  A
          little too much is just enough for me.  But you, you've never been
          a hardy one, Eliwood.  Nor are you used to travel.  Go on too long,
          and you'll collapse.
ELIWOOD:  We're all weaklings compared to you, Hector. ...Thankfully wars are
          not won by strength alone, eh? We've been sparring once every two
          months since we were twelve, and of the 30 matches, 14 I won, 12 I
          lost, and 4 were draws.
HECTOR:   Erh? I think not! I recall 31 matches--an even 13-13 split, with
          5 draws!
ELIWOOD:  Yes, well, you recall wrong.  I'm in the right.
HECTOR:   Hmph.  And what makes you so certain?
ELIWOOD:  Whoose snoring was it that shook the rafters in numbers class?
HECTOR:   Ah, good point.
ELIWOOD:  ...Still, I'm touched you were worried about me.  Now, back to
          the fray!
HECTOR:   Hey, wait! ...Blast.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STORY RANK:       7
COMEDIC VALUE:    6
OVERALL RANK:   6.5

COMMENTS: I was snoring during numbers class too, so that average score might
be off.  Overall this is a good SC, it provides some information about Eliwood
and Hector's past and adds a bit of comedy too, which is always a plus in my
book.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ELIWOOD/HECTOR     B RANK     CC003

ELIWOOD:  Something, wrong Hector? Was that a yawn I saw? Not the best
          battlefield manners.
HECTOR:   Ah... It's nothing.  Just my dreams lately...
ELIWOOD:  Dreams? What kind of dreams?
HECTOR:   Laugh, and I'll kill you.
ELIWOOD:  ...All right.
HECTOR:   There was this man--a giant with a beard--carrying a girl on his
          shoulders.  The girl called to him "Father," and she was smiling,
          happy.  Then the father said to her, "Yes, my beloved daughter?"
          That's all, really.  But it felt as though... It felt like a
          long-past memory.  The man looked a bit like my own father, I
          suppose.  But who was the little girl? Aye, she was a cute one.
ELIWOOD:  What color was her hair?
HECTOR:   huh.  Blue.
ELIWOOD:  And the man's hair? his moustache?
HECTOR:   His were bluish, too.
ELIWOOD:  Then it is a vision on your own future! A great moustache, eh?
          Ah hah hah!
HECTOR:   Grr... You laughed! Hm.  If that is my future I'm not sure I like it.
ELIWOOD:  Why not?
HECTOR:   The girl that would be my daughter... She gets taken away by this
          boy that appears later.  ...A boy with red hair! Yes, it was red, I'm
          sure of it.
ELIWOOD:  Don't get ahead of yourself! there are plenty of people with
          red hair...
HECTOR:   Quiet! now I'm sure--the boy was a Pheraen.  No matter how close we
          may be, I'll not--I'll not give up my daughter!
ELIWOOD:  Hector! Let's hope your dream doesn't come true, eh? For my sake.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STORY RANK:       9
COMEDIC VALUE:    8
OVERALL RANK:   8.5

COMMENTS: Hmm a very interesting conversation... could this boy with red hair
be... no it couldn't! Could it!? Haha, anyways, this SC gives great, uh...
forestory? Hector can see into the future somehow or another.  Some great
comedy mixed in here as well.  A great SC.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ELIWOOD/HECTOR     A RANK     CC003

ELIWOOD:  Hector, you still remember that time?
HECTOR:   What time?
ELIWOOD:  You know, what was it--ten years ago? When the lords of Lycia held
          the oath rites, back in Ostia? "Should one land of Lycia be attacked,
          all will fight at one..." Remember? While our parents were off
          pledging thier oaths, we were kids in that one room.
HECTOR:   Yeah, I remember.  We had to act in a manner befitting the children
          of nobility, or some such nonsense.  I just remember being stuck in
          there, having to sit in that chair talking to whoever was next to me.
          Course, wouldn't you know that Erik of Laus was on my right? Man, I
          heard more than enough sweet talk from that one!
ELIWOOD:  Right, right.  That was the first time any of us met, after all.
          He had no idea who you were--he just wanted to get in favor with a
          lordling of Lycia.
HECTOR:   Aye, he was all mouth anyway.  Saying things like "let us join forces
          for the good of Lycia," and such... then running when things turned
          sour.
ELIWOOD:  Aw, don't be too hard on him.  When he jumped up, yelling about us
          swearing our own oaths, then cut his hand like that... No one else
          knew what to do, either.
HECTOR:   Well, everyone's heard the stories.  They all know it's the warrior's
          custom.  Each cuts his own hand, then shakes hands with his
          brothers... What man wouldn't want to do that? Only one had the guts
          to meet him, though.
ELIWOOD:  ...You know, back then, I'm proud I took your hand.  We are friends,
          sharing a life-dream now, an ambition.  When one is in danger, the
          other risks his life to protect him... That's why you came, isn't it?
          Because you remembered?
HECTOR:   Heh.  I've got no plans to break my oath.  Not now, not ever.
ELIWOOD:  Likewise.
HECTOR:   Well, then lets live long and in health! I don't want to hear any
          excuses about not being able to come help when we're old men.
ELIWOOD:  It's a deal.  ...Stay alive, Hector.
HECTOR:   Deal.  And don't you go dying before me, either.  I'd never forgive
          you.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STORY RANK:      10
INTEREST LEVEL:   7
OVERALL RANK:   8.5

COMMENTS: Not much to say about this one, it pretty much explains itself.  Not
a great deal of laughs but it's a interesting SC, as it provides a bit of
backstory for Eliwood and Hector.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ELIWOOD/MARCUS     C RANK     CC006

MARCUS:   Lord Eliwood! You are not hurt?
ELIWOOD:  Marcus? Thanks, I'm fine.
MARCUS:   Perhaps it is not my place... But, Lord Eliwood, you should
          stay out of combat, I think.  Let me deal with the enemy!
          You can join me, Lord Eliwood, and thus travel in safety...
ELIWOOD:  I'm afraid that cannot be.  This is my journey to make.
          It is my responsibility.

MARCUS:   But it does make me lonely, you know.  When you were born,

ELIWOOD:  Marcus?
MARCUS:   I have been watching your progress on your journey...
ELIWOOD:  What is it? There's no need for formalities with me.
MARCUS:   Ah, it's just, I was thinking how much you've grown... Even on this
          journey, seeing you going off to battle, brave and strong. You have
          much of your father's presence.
ELIWOOD:  You think so?
MARCUS:   I do. Mine eyes fill with tears of joy, truly...
ELIWOOD:  There you go with the poetry again, Marcus. ...That reminds me of
          something my father once spoke of. Marcus, you went into battle by
          my father when he was young?
MARCUS:   Indeed. I was just a page at the time. But under Lord Elbert's
          command I swung my spear as best as I could.
ELIWOOD:  And you fight by my side on this, my journey, as well.
MARCUS:   I made a promise to Lord Elbert. I swore to protect the lord Eliwood
          until his return. Knights of Pherae always carry out their orders,
          you see.
ELIWOOD:  And Pherae owes its very existence to you, Marcus. Thank you.

MARCUS:   ...ung...
ELIWOOD:  M-Marcus!? What is wrong!
MARCUS:   To concern yourself with a mere retainer in the midst of battle...
          Even in such a horrid conflict as this one, still you have lost none
          of your heart, Lord Eliwood.
ELIWOOD:  Your sentiments could make a mourner smile, Marcus!
MARCUS:   Take care of your heart, Lord Eliwood. You will need it to lead your
          people upon your return to Pherae.
ELIWOOD:  Yes...let us all return to Pherae together. For that alone, we must
          win this battle. Should we fall on the road, my dear mother's heart
          would never mend.
MARCUS:   Do not worry, my young lord. I, Marcus, will defend you. I have sworn
          that Lord Eliwood will return safely to Pherae. And return you shall,
          to find a lovely, kind wife to lead with you. Then you will follow in

ELIWOOD:  Marcus... I know no knight of Pherae more worthy of the title than
          you. I thank you, as does my future son.
MARCUS:   It occurs to me... When Lord Elbert became engaged to the Lady
          Eleanora... Why he was the same age you are now, Lord Eliwood. As a

LOWEN:    Oh, but it is! this is a most unforgivable oversight! "If the stomach

LOWEN:    Why, yes!
ELIWOOD:  You...an esquire... Why?
LOWEN:    My father was the chef to the previous marquess of Pherae... In other

          his back out, that is... Your father, too, acquired a taste for his
          cooking, you see. So when I had the pleasure of joining him on his

          every meal!
ELIWOOD:  Oh, I get it now...
LOWEN:    I am afraid I do not know your tastes, Lord Eliwood. Everything I
          have made up on this trip, has been things your lord father, Elbert,
          favored. I do hope you find them suitable to your palate?
ELIWOOD:  For an esquire such as yourself to cook... With your patrol and watch
          duties, where do you find the time? I mean, you really don't have
          to...

LYNDIS:   Banquets...I see.  Those are no place for someone from the plains,

FIORA:    Yes, Lord Eliwood?
ELIWOOD:  I had a thought while watching you fight. I feared you may be working
          too hard. Resting is as important as fighting, remember.
FIORA:    Thank you, my lord. But... I am a pegasus knight of Ilia. When I
          think of the people of my homeland, I cannot but fight harder.
ELIWOOD:  Still...
FIORA:    My performance here reflects on all the knights of Ilia. The more
          tasks I complete, the bigger the reward I bring home, and the happier
          my people may live.
ELIWOOD:  What about your happiness?
FIORA:    What?
ELIWOOD:  I know your homeland of Ilia is a poor land. And I know thoughts of
          your sister weigh heavily in your mind. But do not forget you have a
          right to happiness, too. Were you to become a sacrifice for your
          country...that would not do. No one would be happy, then.
FIORA:    Lord Eliwood...
ELIWOOD:  Forgive me, perhaps it is not my place. Still, watching you... I
          felt I had to say something. For someone as talented as yourself not
          to find happiness... Well, that would be the greatest tragedy of of
          all.
FIORA:    ... ... I must admit... This is the first time anyone has ever said
          something like that to me. ... ...
ELIWOOD:  ... ...
FIORA:    But...let us not linger here overlong.
ELIWOOD:  Yes... Yes, of course.
FIORA:    I beg your leave.
ELIWOOD:  Ah, wait a moment. Fiora!
FIORA:    Yes?
ELIWOOD:  I would like you to stay nearby, by my side. So that I can... So
          that I may protect you.
FIORA:    Lord Eliwood... Yes, I... I understand.

HARKEN:   Lord Eliwood.
ELIWOOD:  Ah, Harken.  How may I help you?
HARKEN:   Please, allow me to speak frankly.  Might you allow the fighting to
          be left in our hands from here out?
ELIWOOD:  Harken?
HARKEN:   Lord Eliwood, you are the heart of our army.  When I imagine the worst
          that might happen, I think it wiser for you to remain at the rear of
          our forces.
ELIWOOD:  You worry overmuch, Harken, I will be fine.  Though...I am
          inexperienced in battle, this is true.  And I apologize for giving
          you cause to worry.  Still...
HARKEN:   No, I did not mean to siggest that anyone doubts your prowess.
          Indeed, your arm in battle has improved by leaps and bounds since
          Pherae.  I believe you are equal to even your father, Lord Elbert,
          now.  Yet...still, we are concerned.  I ask at that least you do not
          take any unecessary risks.

ELIWOOD:  Ah, Harken.
HARKEN:   I hate to seem imposing, but I must ask you again, please, your
          safety is of utmost importance.  If you would just refrain from combat
          and leave the fighting to me...
ELIWOOD:  I thank you, Harken, but still... I have my reasons why I must fight.
          Until I finish what I have set out to do on my journey, I cannot
          think of escaping, or avoiding my enemies in any way.
HARKEN:   Lord Eliwood, please...
ELIWOOD:  Should something indeed befall me, look to my mother.  She will be
          alone.  You and the people of Pherae must support her.
HARKEN:   I...am sorry.  But that I cannot promise.
ELIWOOD:  Harken?
HARKEN:   I could not protect Lord Elbert... Were I to lose Lord Eliwood as
          well, what right would I have ever to appear before your lady mother
          again? Should I lose you, I am prepared to lose myself in turn.
ELIWOOD:  Harken!
HARKEN:   You must understand, Lord Eliwood.  your life is precious to all of

HARKEN:   No, nothing of the sort!

HECTOR/ELIWOOD     C RANK     CC003

HECTOR:   Ah, Eliwood! It's good to see you're still well!
ELIWOOD:  Hm.  You expected otherwise?
HECTOR:   No, of course not, I knew you'd be fine.
ELIWOOD:  Hector, wait for a moment.  What did you want?
HECTOR:   Nothing.  It's enough to see that you live and are still fighting.
          Just wanted to make sure you weren't overdoing it with me not around.
ELIWOOD:  I should say the same to you.
HECTOR:   Me? don't worry about me.  I'm fine.  I'm built tough you know.  A
          little too much is just enough for me.  But you, you've never been
          a hardy one, Eliwood.  Nor are you used to travel.  Go on too long,
          and you'll collapse.
ELIWOOD:  We're all weaklings compared to you, Hector. ...Thankfully wars are
          not won by strength alone, eh? We've been sparring once every two
          months since we were twelve, and of the 30 matches, 14 I won, 12 I
          lost, and 4 were draws.
HECTOR:   Erh? I think not! I recall 31 matches--an even 13-13 split, with
          5 draws!
ELIWOOD:  Yes, well, you recall wrong.  I'm in the right.
HECTOR:   Hmph.  And what makes you so certain?
ELIWOOD:  Whoose snoring was it that shook the rafters in numbers class?
HECTOR:   Ah, good point.
ELIWOOD:  ...Still, I'm touched you were worried about me.  Now, back to
          the fray!

COMMENTS: I was snoring during numbers class too, so that average score might

ELIWOOD:  Something, wrong Hector? Was that a yawn I saw? Not the best
          battlefield manners.
HECTOR:   Ah... It's nothing.  Just my dreams lately...
ELIWOOD:  Dreams? What kind of dreams?
HECTOR:   Laugh, and I'll kill you.
ELIWOOD:  ...All right.
HECTOR:   There was this man--a giant with a beard--carrying a girl on his
          shoulders.  The girl called to him "Father," and she was smiling,
          happy.  Then the father said to her, "Yes, my beloved daughter?"
          That's all, really.  But it felt as though... It felt like a
          long-past memory.  The man looked a bit like my own father, I
          suppose.  But who was the little girl? Aye, she was a cute one.
ELIWOOD:  What color was her hair?
HECTOR:   huh.  Blue.
ELIWOOD:  And the man's hair? his moustache?
HECTOR:   His were bluish, too.
ELIWOOD:  Then it is a vision on your own future! A great moustache, eh?
          Ah hah hah!
HECTOR:   Grr... You laughed! Hm.  If that is my future I'm not sure I like it.
ELIWOOD:  Why not?
HECTOR:   The girl that would be my daughter... She gets taken away by this
          boy that appears later.  ...A boy with red hair! Yes, it was red, I'm
          sure of it.
ELIWOOD:  Don't get ahead of yourself! there are plenty of people with
          red hair...
HECTOR:   Quiet! now I'm sure--the boy was a Pheraen.  No matter how close we
          may be, I'll not--I'll not give up my daughter!

HECTOR/ELIWOOD     A RANK     CC003

ELIWOOD:  Hector, you still remember that time?
HECTOR:   What time?
ELIWOOD:  You know, what was it--ten years ago? When the lords of Lycia held
          the oath rites, back in Ostia? "Should one land of Lycia be attacked,
          all will fight at one..." Remember? While our parents were off
          pledging thier oaths, we were kids in that one room.
HECTOR:   Yeah, I remember.  We had to act in a manner befitting the children
          of nobility, or some such nonsense.  I just remember being stuck in
          there, having to sit in that chair talking to whoever was next to me.
          Course, wouldn't you know that Erik of Laus was on my right? Man, I
          heard more than enough sweet talk from that one!
ELIWOOD:  Right, right.  That was the first time any of us met, after all.
          He had no idea who you were--he just wanted to get in favor with a
          lordling of Lycia.
HECTOR:   Aye, he was all mouth anyway.  Saying things like "let us join forces
          for the good of Lycia," and such... then running when things turned
          sour.
ELIWOOD:  Aw, don't be too hard on him.  When he jumped up, yelling about us
          swearing our own oaths, then cut his hand like that... No one else
          knew what to do, either.
HECTOR:   Well, everyone's heard the stories.  They all know it's the warrior's
          custom.  Each cuts his own hand, then shakes hands with his
          brothers... What man wouldn't want to do that? Only one had the guts
          to meet him, though.
ELIWOOD:  ...You know, back then, I'm proud I took your hand.  We are friends,
          sharing a life-dream now, an ambition.  When one is in danger, the
          other risks his life to protect him... That's why you came, isn't it?
          Because you remembered?
HECTOR:   Heh.  I've got no plans to break my oath.  Not now, not ever.
ELIWOOD:  Likewise.
HECTOR:   Well, then lets live long and in health! I don't want to hear any
          excuses about not being able to come help when we're old men.
ELIWOOD:  It's a deal.  ...Stay alive, Hector.
HECTOR:   Deal.  And don't you go dying before me, either.  I'd never forgive
          you.

         stand a chance.
LYNDIS:  My! I see.  I get it.  So you've judged my strength already, then.

OSWIN:   Yes.  I'm afraid my armor saved my skin more than once today.  Take
         care, Lord Hector.
HECTOR:  Say, Oswin.  Sorry to be such a burden, you know?
OSWIN:   Pardon?
HECTOR:  I know it's my brother's orders, but here you're stuck with me.  I
         mean, it must be a drag for you, right? You let me know if there's
         anything I can do for you.
OSWIN:   Well, to tell the truth...When I was assigned to watch over you, Lord
         Hector,  I feared that I might not be worthy of the job.  But I
         realized something over the course of this journey.  While your words
         and manners may be coarse at times, you are straight and true in
         character--like a good arrow.  I thank Lord Uther for giving me the
         opportunity to serve you.  So, believe me that it hasn't been a burden
         at all.
HECTOR:  Oswin... You...You sure...? I mean, that's good, I'm glad.
OSWIN:   Excellent! Then I shall be honored to serve you further.
HECTOR:  I was afraid it might have been me makin' you look like an old man!
OSWIN:   Eh? What was that?
HECTOR:  Ah, er, nothing! Never mind! Um, right! Come along, then! Let's go!

HECTOR:  Yeah?
SERRA:   Isn't there something you'd like to tell me? Really, there's no need
         to hold back.
HECTOR:  Huh? What are you talking about?
SERRA:   Why, your words of thanks, of course!
HECTOR:  Why should I thank you?
SERRA:   You yourself told me, Lord Hector: "Stay in Ostia, someone needs to
         defend the homeland."
HECTOR:  Uh huh.
SERRA:   Yet, I, in my thoughtfulness, have come with you! I've come all the
         way here for you, Lord Hector! I'd take a ...thank you, ... or failing
         that, a bucket of jewels! Anything will do.
HECTOR:  You want me to thank you for disobeying orders? To tell the truth,
         I find it hard to fight with you here!
SERRA:   Really! The nerve of some people! I thought you would be more
         understanding, Lord Hector!
HECTOR:  Understanding of what?
SERRA:   Why, I am the only sister in this army!
HECTOR:  Yeah, that's true, now that you mention it.  Of course, a replacement
         would work just as well...

         the faith?
SERRA:   What? Wait! you're making fun of me in a roundabout way! I never!
         Only someone like you could do such a thing! Can you even imagine the
         many nights I've wet my pillow with tears...
HECTOR:  ...Nope, I can't.
SERRA:   I have been sensitive and delicate since I was born, you know! Not
         that I'd expect you to know that, or care.  It might surprise you to
         know this, but I am of high noble birth!
HECTOR:  Huh? You're right, I didn't know... you some distant relation of one of
         the nobles of Lycia?
SERRA:   No, I am a full-blooded member of an Etrurian count's family.
HECTOR:  What, are you serious!?
SERRA:   Very serious.  You should be calling me "Lady Serra," you know, really.
         But since it's you, Lord Hector, I've been tolerating plain "Serra."
HECTOR:  Hmph, hard to picture...but I guess I'll take your word for it.
         Where's that count's family from?
SERRA:   They are, well, that's what I'm not sure of.
HECTOR:  Hah?
SERRA:   there was all this talk about family status and succession of titles
         and such... My parents decided to put me in an abbey when I was still a
         child.  That's why I don't know the count's name...or what my parents
         were like... But I'm sure they were gentle and beautiful people, both
         of them!
HECTOR:  But you've never met them?
SERRA:   Yes, but look at me, their child! I'm sure you can imagine how striking

HECTOR:  Hey, Serra.  That abbey you lived in was in Ostia, right?
SERRA:   W-Why do... What of it?
HECTOR:  I was thinking, the only abbey left in the land of Ostia right now is
         the one that was rebuilt when my brother was made marquess.
SERRA:   Ah!
HECTOR:  So...that was the place?
SERRA:   Y-Yes...that was where I grew up.  With children who had lost their
         parents in the war, children from poor villages.  It was an orphanage
         for those children, too, you see...
HECTOR:  You know, I visited there once.  Dismal place, it was.  After my
         brother donated money it got a little better, true...
SERRA:   Y-Yes, I suppose... We were always short on food.  The winters were
         cold, with no wood for the fire, and no warm blankets... But I was
         fine, really! I knew it was only temporary! I knew things would get
         better!
HECTOR:  Hey, calm down! No need to shout!
SERRA:   I really am of the bloodline of an Etrurian count's family, I am! I
         just can't meet them right now because of family...family issues! But,
         someday... Someday.  My true parents will come to welcome me back.
HECTOR:  ... ...
SERRA:   My mother and father are truly kind people, who thought often of me,
         alone in the abbey... I..I'm sure of it! It has to be true.
HECTOR:  Serra...

HECTOR:  Yeah, about that purse.  I heard about the going price for Ilian
         mercenaries from a henchman...
FARINA:  ...Eh?
HECTOR:  Usually, they get paid by the battle, with no bonuses or anything.
         And...he said 20,000 gold is way, way too much.
FARINA:  But...
HECTOR:  Payment is determined by rank within the knightly order, right? At
         your level of ability, I'd say you're worth 2,000 gold, tops.
FARINA:  Never! I'm at 4,000 gold, I am!

          didn't know what to think about your noble Lycian blood, but the

          Remember how you felt. You don't have to be like anyone else, Lyndis.

         stronger than I thought.
LYNDIS:  Why, thank you, Hector.  For me, losing to you was a good lesson in my
         limits.
HECTOR:  ...Um, are you listening to me?
LYNDIS:  I'm busy right now.  I'm learning some new lunge and thrust patterns.
HECTOR:  Yeah, I thought you were standing different.  What is that lunge used
         for?
LYNDIS:  They say it's good against axemen in heavy armor.
HECTOR:  Wait, that's me! You got something personal against me, Lyn? We're
         friends, right?
LYNDIS:  Of course we are.  But this...this is about me, my limits.  I can't
         be a burden to either you or Eliwood right now.  I can fight.  And I
         will get stronger.
HECTOR:  Lyn...

HECTOR:  Lyn.
LYNDIS:  Hector...
HECTOR:  Say, Lyn... You remember when we first met?
LYNDIS:  I do, I remember it well.  It was when Caelin Castle was taken by Lord
         Laus.  My grandfather had been taken prisoner.  And you and Eliwood
         came to the rescue.  Then, together, we fought the armies of Laus.
HECTOR:  Lyn.  Why are we together now?
LYNDIS:  Well...
HECTOR:  Because we're friends, right? Say if you were much stronger than I
         was... Would that make me useless to you?
LYNDIS:  No... Of course not.
HECTOR:  Fighting isn't everything on this journey, you know.  If fighting was
         everything, what use would we have of Merlinus?
LYNDIS:  Well, I suppose...
HECTOR:  You are strong.  I can vouch for that.  Just, I was stronger.
LYNDIS:  Hah!
HECTOR:  W-What!?
LYNDIS:  You're too much-- Saying that kind of thing with a straight face.
HECTOR:  You gotta problem with my face? I've just gotta be me, you know...
LYNDIS:  Yes, I know. ...Thanks.  I didn't think you cared so much about how I
         felt.  Or is Hector gentler at heart than Hector looks?  You've
         certainly done much for my courage today.


HECTOR:  Hmph... I'm not this way to just anyone, you know...
LYNDIS:  What?
HECTOR:  A-Ah! The enemy! Let's go, Lyn! Don't lag behind!
LYNDIS:  What! W-Wait up!

          know where archers might be lurking.
FLORINA:  Yes.

FLORINA:  But, Lady Lyndis... It should be the other way around! I'm here to
          protect you...
LYNDIS:   Don't worry about me, I'll be fine.  Didn't I always look out for you
          back on the plains? Remember?
FLORINA:  Of course, but...

FLORINA:  Ayaa!
LYNDIS:   Florina!? What is it? I heard a scream...
FLORINA:  I'm sorry! A bee was chasing me--I couldn't help it!
LYNDIS:   Really... You gave me quite a scare! But...that reminds me of that
          time.  Remember, Florina? When we first met...
FLORINA:  Oh, not that...
LYNDIS:   I was out hunting when I saw a pegasus wandering about... When I went
          to see what was going on, I saw you hanging on to that tree branch...
FLORINA:  W-Well, what was I supposed to do? All those bees came flying out at
          me! I was so frightened...
LYNDIS:   I remember you were crying because you couldn't get down.  I couldn't
          believe that you, a little girl, were a pegasus knight!
FLORINA:  Please, don't tell that story any more, it's so embarrassing... You
          know how dishonorable it is to fall from your pegasus.
LYNDIS:   Hee hee, don't worry, I won't tell a soul.  It will always be our
          little secret, all right?
FLORINA:  All right, but that better be a promise!
LYNDIS:   Those were the days, though! You and me, riding on the plains, the
          wind blowing across the grass...
FLORINA:  Lady Lyndis?

FLORINA:  Lady Lyndis? Are...Are you all right?
LYNDIS:   Ah, Florina.
FLORINA:  Is something the matter? Might...I be of some help?
LYNDIS:   ... ... Thanks.  But it's really nothing.  It can't be fixed, anyway.
FLORINA:  ...Is it the plains?
LYNDIS:   What?
FLORINA:  Please, don't hide it even from me! You want to return to the plains,
          don't you, Lyn? I know how you used to leave the castle and gaze out
          from the hill at Caelin.
LYNDIS:   It's just... It doesn't seem fair.  I know... With my grandfather in
          his condition, I'm the only one to watch over the castle...
FLORINA:  You shouldn't force yourself, though.  I'm sure that Lord Hausen
          would understand... Living on the plains just seems right for you,
          Lyn.
LYNDIS:   Florina... Hmm, guess what? You stopped calling me "Lyndis"... And
          you're speaking much more frankly now.
FLORINA:  Ah! I-I apologize! I'm such a scatterbrain, I...
LYNDIS:   Please, Florina-- Don't... I, too, thought it was the way we had to be
          with each other.  But I was wrong-- I can't take it anymore.  I've
          been so lonely all this time.  Leaving the plains... And you, my best
          friend treating me like a noble stranger.  What does rank and birth
          have to do with anything? I'm still myself, and you're still you!
          Please, talk to me normally, like you always used to.
FLORINA:  Lyndis...Lyn...I...I'm sorry.  I had no idea you felt that way...
LYNDIS:   I do, and someday when I return to the plains... Come with me, won't
          you? I may not be able to pay you like I do now... But I would like
          you with me, Florina, as a friend.
FLORINA:  Yes.  That would be nice.  Let's stick together, no matter what
          happens.  Now...and always.

LYNDIS:  Rath... Tell me the rest of your story, please.  Why did you have to
         leave the tribe?
RATH:    ...The tribe diviner saw a bad omen in the stars.  As...the chieftain's
         son, I had to leave to prevent disaster.
LYNDIS:  What disaster?
RATH:    Can't say.  ...But the diviner did tell me I would know when the time
         came.  He said I was born into this land to stop the burning... A dark
         flame, consuming all.
LYNDIS:  ... ...
RATH:    At the time I was less than four, without even the means to survive.
         I wandered, not knowing right from left, ...The people of other tribes
         laughed and ridiculed me.
LYNDIS:  ... ...
RATH:    I do not feel the loneliness now as I did then... but sometimes, I
         remember.  I have never felt so alone.
LYNDIS:  I see... That makes sense.  When I first met you, i felt like we had
         something in common... Maybe it was because we shared the experience
         of being alone.
