Forde

Aaaah...▼

Eirika

Forde, you're looking
in rare form today.▼

Forde

Ah, Princess! Yes, I'm trying
not to overextend myself today.▼
I see you're looking well, too.▼
Except for...▼

Eirika

Yes, Forde?▼
What is it?▼

Forde

Well... I was just thinking
about something...▼
Princess, do you find that your armor
leaves a bit too much... exposed?▼

Eirika

I beg your pardon?▼

Forde

You know, too exposed. Especially around
the...er...midriff, if you will.▼
Aren't you worried that, in the heat
of battle, it might, eh...▼

Eirika

Fly up like this?▼

Forde

Augh!
Oh... Uh...▼
You were...just joking. Wow.
Don't scare me like that!▼

Eirika

Oh, I'm sorry. That must have
seemed rather unladylike.▼
Honestly, though, I do rather
like this armor.▼
It's easy to move around in.▼
I think that freedom of movement is
far more important to me in combat.▼

Forde

Well, sure. I guess everyone has his
own preference.▼
I've gotten many long years of use
from my armor.▼

Eirika

I can imagine.▼
Now that I look at it, I can see
all the scars from all your fights.▼

Forde

A knight's greatest pride are the scars
his armor bears for him.▼
This battered shell of mine is only
the true badge of valor...▼
...The only real sign that I've weathered
blade and arrow for king and country.▼

Eirika

Forde...▼

Forde

Oh, and... Well, in my case...▼
Some of these dents are from me falling
off my horse. Heh...▼
Oh, and some come from falling asleep in
my armor and rolling onto my weapons.▼
Kind of a lot of them, actually.
Heh...▼

Eirika

You stood by my brother when he
and I were separated, didn't you?▼
I never got a chance to thank you.▼

Forde

Oh, it was nothing. Really.▼
To be fair, Ephraim probably saved
my hide more often than I his.▼

Eirika

I doubt that. My brother rushed into
battle without thought for consequence.▼
I think, if nothing else, you restrained
his natural recklessness.▼
I owe you a debt. Both you and Kyle.▼

Forde

Princess Eirika...▼

Eirika

Forde, Renais thanks you. May
you always stand beside us.▼

Forde

At your service, Princess.▼

Support level B

Forde

Princess Eirika! Good to see you.▼

Eirika

Ah, Forde. Yes, it's good to have
you fighitng at my side again.▼
It's only because of your skill
that I'm fighting here today.▼

Forde

Well, we all seem to be deep
in this fight, milady...▼

Eirika

Yes, there's no pulling back now.▼

Forde

So it would seem. My lady, leave
the fighting to us soldiers.▼
Even if there be an unholy hail of arrows,
we would ride into them for your sake.▼

Eirika

Ha ha... Why, thank you, sir knight!▼
...Say, Forde.▼

Forde

Yes?▼

Eirika

What will you do when all
this fighting is over?▼

Forde

When the fighting is over?
Hm... Good question.▼
Well...▼
I suppose I'll return to Renais...
and take a very, very long nap.▼

Eirika

That does sound like you.
And then?▼

Forde

Then? I would like to return
to my painting, I think.▼

Eirika

You paint?▼

Forde

Yes, milady. I paint.▼
In the past, I've tried to be quiet
about this little hobby of mine.▼
However, quite a few of our group
have unearthed my hidden secret.▼

Eirika

Is that so? Well, I'd love to
view your work sometime.▼

Forde

Ah, I'd be honored.▼
It's hardly worth of such an audience,
but I'd be glad to show it to you.▼

Eirika

I look forward to it.▼
Oh!
And...▼

Forde

Yes?▼

Eirika

Would you ever consider...
doing a portrait of me?▼

Forde

I'm sorry?▼

Eirika

Is that distasteful to you?▼

Forde

No! No...▼
It's just that I so
rarely do portraits.▼

Eirika

So, it would be a bother?▼

Forde

Not at all! A bother? Really.▼
This request comes from my princess.
I'd be more than happy to.▼

Eirika

Thank you, Forde.▼

Support level A

Forde

Princess Eirika.▼

Eirika

Forde.▼

Forde

You asked me earlier what I would
do when all this fighting ended...▼

Eirika

I remember...▼

Forde

Well, I should have asked you, too.▼
What will you do when this fighting ends?▼

Eirika

Me?▼

Forde

Yes.▼

Eirika

I...
...▼
I'd like to restore Renais and bring
happiness back to her people.▼

Forde

...Princess Eirika...▼

Eirika

It is not enough that this war
end...that we go home again.▼
It's not enough that my brother
become king.▼
These things aren't enough to
make a good country.▼

Forde

...▼

Eirika

People deserve happiness. They are
the reason that we rule.▼
Without the people, there can be
no Renais.▼

Forde

To live happily, to be proud
of our nation...▼
To restore the happiness
of her people...▼

Eirika

Yes, that is my dream now.
It is an abstract goal, and
perhaps a little vague, but...▼

Forde

No, not at all!▼

Eirika

How so?▼

Forde

I mean, rebuilding a country, now
THAT is an abstract goal.▼
But what you've described, that
is a wonderful ambition.▼
I've never been so proud to
serve the kingdom of Renais.▼

Eirika

Forde...▼

Forde

I've come to a decision!
I know I've already sworn an oath, but...▼
I want to renew that vow. Please, let
me help make your dream come true!▼
I'll do anything I can to help you...as
long as it doesn't require heavy lifting.▼

Eirika

Thank you...
I'm very grateful to you, Forde.▼
It feels like this war might never end,
and our people give in to despair quickly.▼
But thanks to people like you, who smile
in the face of sorrow, they can be saved.▼

Forde

Oh, no. You make too much of it.
I'm nothing special.▼
I simply cannot allow myself to worry
when there's fighting to be done.▼
You're the special one. You have such
a profound effect on us all.▼

Eirika

...Me? How so?▼

Forde

It is because of you that we can go on.▼
You and the prince are here, risking
your lives for the cause.▼
Your guidance, your leadership... It
gives us a reason to live as well.▼

Eirika

A reason...to live?▼

Forde

Yes... To restore that radiant
smile to your own lovely face.▼

Eirika

Oh!▼

Forde

I fight to see you smile again, to
drive the worry from your face.▼
If I can do that, then I will be more
than happy to paint your portrait.▼

Eirika

Forde...▼

Forde

We'll do it together. Every day is
another step closer to the end of war.▼
One step closer to making your dream
come true.▼

Eirika

...Agreed!▼
