L'Arachel

Good day to you, Princess.▼
What a funny thing that we should meet
here! It is providence, I tell you!▼

Eirika

L'Arachel, it is NOT providence.
It is not even a coincidence.▼
We agreed to meet here when we
planned out our battle strategy.▼
Wait... Don't tell me that you
don't remember that!▼

L'Arachel

We planned this?▼
I suppose I simply don't usually
worry about such trifling details.▼
And here we are, so I suppose that
our plan must be working.▼

Eirika

I suppose you're right.▼

L'Arachel

Still, divine providence or not,
isn't it strange and wonderful?▼
A beautiful princess traveling with
such a ragged bunch as this...▼
You could have told me much sooner,
you know!▼

Eirika

My apologies.▼
Necessity demanded that I conceal
my identity at the time.▼

L'Arachel

Oh, it is no longer any worry.▼
To be honest, I believe I had figured out
your ruse from the very moment we met.▼
I said to myself, "This lovely woman
could only be of my own superior breeding."▼
After all, you could never truly fool
a woman with my keen mind.▼

Eirika

My. How...impressive.▼

L'Arachel

There is something about nobility that
simply cannot be hidden from its kin!▼
Why, Eirika, certainly you must have
felt the same thing upon seeing me?▼
You surely saw a refinement and grace of
carriage surpassing that of common folk?▼

Eirika

Err... Aheh...▼
Yes, why...the very first time
I met you, I could see that you...▼
You were very far from common.▼

L'Arachel

Exactly. Far from common. I could
not have put it better myself.▼
It's simply impossible to travel
incognito these days.▼

Support level B

L'Arachel

Take that!▼
And that and that and that!▼

Eirika

L'Arachel?
What you are doing?▼

L'Arachel

I'm practicing! I want to be prepared
for when those fiends next show up.▼
You never can tell where or when
they'll appear, after all.▼
And if they were to appear and I were
to unable to prepare a magical attack...▼
Well, I'd like to be ready to whack
them with this staff of mine.▼

Eirika

Ahhh... Don't you think that's a
bit, well, dangerous?▼
Perhaps you should stop.▼
If monsters appear when I am around,
I promise I'll come to your aid.▼

L'Arachel

That's simply no good, Eirika. You
know how those monsters can be.▼
I insist that I be able to hold my
own, relying on nothing but my skills.▼

Eirika

I've been curious about
something, L'Arachel...▼
Why are you so obsessed
with fighting monsters?▼

L'Arachel

...My parents were kind people. I would
be like them if I am able.▼
My home of Rausten is so near to Darkling
Woods. We experienced many sudden raids.▼
My parents took it upon themselves to
defend our people against the monsters.▼

Eirika

I had no idea...▼

L'Arachel

Yes, but my parents are gone now.▼
I've been told that they passed away
when I was but an infant.▼
They...gave their lives defending
many helpless people.▼

Eirika

I'm so sorry.▼

L'Arachel

Oh, you needn't be sad. I would
not want for that.▼
No, it's wonderful that they gave
their lives battling that filth.▼
I was so young that I do not remember
their faces, if I must be honest.▼
However, that does not diminish the
pride I feel for what they've done.▼

Eirika

Don't you feel lonely at
the loss of your parents?▼

L'Arachel

No! Not at all!▼
What do you take me for?
Some kind of weakling?▼

Eirika

No, I see that you are
strong indeed, L'Arachel.▼

L'Arachel

I should say so.▼
But...would you not say that
you are strong, too, Eirika?▼
Your father stayed in his castle,
fighting the forces of Grado.▼
He had a noble death, don't
you think?▼
Your father was a great man.▼
You must be quite proud of him.▼

Eirika

Well...yes.▼
He refused to take even one step in retreat
from the advancing Grado soldiers.▼
But still...▼
I mean, I...I would have thought no
less of him if he had fled.▼
Even if he were no longer a brave king...
Still...▼
I would be happier if he were still alive.▼

L'Arachel

Eirika...▼
I do understand you.▼
Everyone would tell me of my parents'
bravery, of their honor...▼
But I will never see them. I will
never know them for myself.▼
Oh, what I would give if I could have
met them...just once.▼

Eirika

L'Arachel...▼

Support level A

L'Arachel

Eirika... Please hold
for a moment.▼

Eirika

What is it, L'Arachel?▼

L'Arachel

About what we were discussing earlier...▼
I would not want you to get the wrong
idea.▼
I was not saying I was lonely because
my parents were dead.▼
I am not that weak, you know?▼
I have never even...cried...when
thinking of my parents.▼

Eirika

I know, L'Arachel.
You are a very strong person.▼
We are lucky to have you with us.▼

L'Arachel

I hope you do not think this
all too sudden, but...▼
Here. Look at this.▼

Eirika

What's this...?▼

L'Arachel

This ruby has been in Rausten for
generations. It is a valuable gem.▼
I would be honored if... I would
like for you to have it.▼

Eirika

What? No, I couldn't! It's
far too precious to accept...▼

L'Arachel

No, I mean it. Please, accept
this as a gift.▼
Here.▼
I won't allow you to refuse.▼

Eirika

L'Arachel...▼
Thank you. I will treasure it.▼
I so wish I had something to give
you in return...▼

L'Arachel

You needn't feel that way.
Here, I've an idea...▼
Once we've put an end to all the
monstrosities in our lands...▼
Invite me to Renais. Does this
plan please you?▼

Eirika

Yes...certainly. Of course.▼

L'Arachel

Then we are agreed!▼
Now, you had better not
go dying in battle on me.▼
Not until then, at any rate.
Do I have your word?▼

Eirika

Yes...let us both live long
enough to look back on this time.▼
I am sure that, when we do look back,
it will be as the best of friends.▼
