Support level C

Cormag

You're pretty good with a spear.▼

Seth

Thank you.▼
I don't think I've introduced myself.
I'm the leader of the Knights of Renais--▼

Cormag

I know you. Of course I know you.
You're General Seth, the Silver Knight.▼

Seth

... Yes, that's right.▼
And you are Cormag, the renowned
wyvern rider of Grado.▼

Cormag

If the legendary Silver Knight knows
my name, I can't be doing too bad, huh?▼

Seth

You and your brother, Glen, are famous
even among the Knights of Renais.▼
We have no wyvern riders in Renais, and
your stories are favorites among the men.▼
I've been watching over your combat style
since you joined our forces.▼

Cormag

Oh, is that so? Well, tell
me: what do you think?▼

Seth

I'd love a chance to spar with you.▼

Cormag

Not a chance. I could
never beat you.▼

Seth

So you say, but I can see in your eyes
that you'll never accept failure.▼

Cormag

Heh...▼
And all this time, I thought you
were just another loyal dullard.▼
Guess I was wrong. We should
chat some more sometime.▼

Seth

Yes, I think I'd like that.▼
Perhaps once things have eased up.
I'm looking forward to it, Cormag.▼

Cormag

Sure thing.▼

Support level B

Cormag

Hey, Seth.▼

Seth

Ah, Cormag. Good timing.▼
I had something I wanted to ask you.
Your family, are they all soldiers?▼

Cormag

Why do you ask?▼

Seth

Your skill with the spear is amazing.
Have you trained since you were a child?▼

Cormag

No, I come from a long line of dirt-poor
farmers. I wielded a plow, not a spear.▼
When we were kids, Glen and I had to
chase birds and animals from our fields.▼
We used sticks and stones, and I think
that helped with our aim, to be honest.▼

Seth

Is that so...
So why did you join the army?▼

Cormag

It's a funny story, really.▼
...The emperor's caravan passed through
our village one day.▼
My brother and I watched the glorious
procession from the top of a tree.▼
Then, a stray dog started to harry the
horses pulling the emperor's carriage.▼
We threw rocks to drive off the mutt,
but some soldiers decided to arrest us.▼

Seth

Why? You were trying to help...▼

Cormag

Yes, well. We didn't just hit the dog.
We got a few of the soldiers as well.▼

Seth

Ah-ha...
So, what happened next?▼

Cormag

Well, the emperor shows up in the room
the soldiers had thrown us.▼
He looks around and, in this very calm
but stern voice, says to the soldiers:▼
"What are you men doing, arresting mere
children? They were trying to help!"▼
Then, he invites us to dine at his table,
and it was a luxurious feast, I tell you!▼
Now, we were just kids. We lacked the
basic courteosies. We were just filthy.▼
And we kept droning on about the most
idiotic things: chores, the village...▼
But he listened to us intently, and
that fatherly smile never left his face.▼
And he said, "You lads are good at
driving off dogs with stones...▼
Your skills are wasted in the fields. Let's
see how you fare with spears instead."▼

Seth

And that's how you were recruited.▼

Cormag

Exactly. It's difficult to ignore
such a commanding presence.▼
But...the emperor changed. I still
can't believe what's happened.▼

Seth

...I was born into a family of knights, so
it was a given that I should be one, too.▼
I trained in spear and sword. I studied
chivalry and swore my oaths of fealty.▼
And because of my hard work, the late
King Fado treated me like a second son.▼
...It's funny. You and I are from different
worlds, but we share the same loyalties.▼

Cormag

True...▼
But King Fado is dead now.▼
And my emperor is the one
that killed him...▼
My emperor is as good
as dead to me.▼

Seth

...I already serve a new lord.▼
Cormag, you will find a ruler
worthy of your loyalties, too.▼

Cormag

Yeah, I hope so...▼

Support level A

Seth

Can I have a word with you, Cormag?▼

Cormag

Oh, Seth. Of course.
What can I do for you?▼

Seth

I've been thinking about your story
and I've come to a decision.▼

Cormag

Hm? What are you talking about?▼

Seth

...Cormag, listen.▼
As a General of the Knights of Renais,
I'd like to offer you a post.▼

Cormag

What? You want me to join
the Knights of Renais?▼

Seth

Yes, exactly.▼
I've been watching you fight, and I've
been thinking about this for some time.▼
Since we've been speaking, I've seen
more than just your fighting prowess.▼
I've seen that you're a strong and
noble person as well.▼
You are a man I would risk my life
fighting beside.▼
Prince Ephraim will be a great king.
Would you fight for him with me?▼

Cormag

I really appreciate it.
Thanks, Seth.▼
But...Grado is my home. I can't trade
loyalties to Renais just like that.▼

Seth

...I knew you would say that.▼

Cormag

Emperor Vigarde is my only lord.▼
My duty now is to correct the
mistakes he has made.▼
That's why I'm here. I hope
you can understand.▼

Seth

Yes, of course...
Still, I'm glad that I met you.▼

Cormag

Same here, Seth. Now, let's get
this war over with, shall we?▼

Seth

Yes, and when it's done, we'll get
together and tell some stories.▼

Cormag

I'm looking forward to it!▼
