KENT: Lady Lyndis, how fare you?
LYNDIS: Kent! I'm glad to see you here. But, I'm fine. Did you doubt my abilities?
KENT: Of course not, Lady Lyndis, you know me better than that. Still, one can never tell what will happen on the battlefield. Please, take good care of yourself.
LYNDIS: Thank you, Kent. It's nice to know you're always looking out for me.
KENT: But of course. I am the lady Lyndis's servant. It is my duty.
LYNDIS: ... ...
KENT: Lady Lyndis?
LYNDIS: Nothing, nothing. Let us go, Kent.
KENT: Milady.


Level B:

KENT: Lady Lyndis.
LYNDIS: Kent...
KENT: Is something the matter, Lady Lyndis? Your sword seems unsteady. Does something trouble you?
LYNDIS: You know me too well. Have you been watching me all this time?
KENT: Yes... I apologize for my imprudence. Still... How could I stand before Lord Hausen should anything befall Lady Lyndis?
LYNDIS: Kent... Just because my grandfather is who he is, doesn't mean you should worry about me overmuch. I can do just fine on my own. Like I did on the plains...
KENT: Lady Lyndis... Forgive me for saying this, but you are not your usual self. Whatever is wrong?
LYNDIS: It's... nothing, really.
KENT: Might there be some way I can be of assistance?
LYNDIS: Kent.
KENT: M'lady?
LYNDIS: Why do you stay with me, by my side? Is it becuase I am granddaughter to the lord of Caelin Castle?
KENT: ...Lady Lyndis?
LYNDIS: You are... I am... I'm sorry. Please, forget what I said.
KENT: Lady Lyndis...


Level A:

KENT: Lady Lyndis.
LYNDIS: K-Kent?
KENT: There is something about which I must speak to you. If I may...
LYNDIS: I really should be going...
KENT: Please, listen!
LYNDIS: K-Kent! Unhand me!
KENT: I am sorry, but I cannot. If I let go your hand now, I would regret it for the rest of my life.
LYNDIS: What...?
KENT: Lady Lyndis. I would like to answer your question of the other day.
LYNDIS: ...
KENT: I am here for you. Even were I not a knight, even were you not my lady. My heart would not change.
LYNDIS: Kent...
KENT: So, I hope that you will forgive me, should I continue to stay by your side.
LYNDIS: Yes, of course. And not as Lyndis, but as Lyn. Yes, Kent, stay by my side, always...

Level C:

Lyn: Florina! Are you well?
Florina: Lady Lyndis! I'm well, thank you.
Lyn: Good, I was worried--But don't go out alone if you can. You never know where archers might be lurking.
Florina: Yes.
Lyn: Are you carrying enough healing salve? Your weapons--are they all in order?
Florina: Eh? Well...Let's see...A vulnerary...And, um...My lance is here...And...eh?
Lyn: It's all right, Florina. Take your time. I'm here should anything happen.
Florina: But, Lady Lyndis...It should be the other way around! I'm here to protect you...
Lyn: 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...
Lyn: No buts! Let's head out, Florina.
Florina: Ah...! Lady Lyndis!


Level B:

Florina: Ayaa!
Lyn: Florina!? What is it? I heard a scream...
Florina: I'm sorry! A bee was chasing me--I couldn't help it!
Lyn: Really...You gave me quite a scare! But...that reminds me of that time. Remember, Florina? When we first met...
Florina: Oh, not that...
Lyn: 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...
Lyn: 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.
Lyn: 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!
Lyn: Those were the days, though! You and me, riding on the plains, the wind blowing across the grass...
Florina: Lady Lyndis?


Level A:

Lyn: Phew...
Florina: Lady Lyndis? Are...Are you all right?
Lyn: Ah, Florina.
Florina: Is something the matter? Might...I be of some help?
Lyn: ......Thanks. But it's really nothing. It can't be fixed, anyway.
Florina: ...Is it the plains?
Lyn: 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.
Lyn: 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.
Lyn: 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...
Lyn: 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...
Lyn: 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.

Level C:

WIL: Lady Lyndis, are you all right?
LYNDIS: Wil? you surprised me! What's the matter?
WIL: I, too, am one of the knights of Caelin, you see... As such, I must protect you as well as I can.
LYNDIS: Yes, yes of course. And how are you, Wil? Are you unhurt?
WIL: I am quite fine!
LYNDIS: Wil, you seem much happier now than you did back in the castle. Why is that?
WIL: It might be imprudent of me to say this, but... Something about this kind of expedition excites me! There are so many new things to see!
LYNDIS: Wil, you are from Pherae, are you not? Tell me...what sort of place is Pherae? It's under the rule of Eliwood's house, so I would think it peaceful, perhaps?
WIL: Yes. It is a nice place. It is near the sea, and the smell of the brine rides on the wind. I have not been home in a long time...
LYNDIS: Your parents are well, yes? Do you write to them often?
WIL: Eh!? Ah... Not that often, no...
LYNDIS: Well! That won't do! You should write them at once! That's an order!


Level B:

WIL: Dearest Mother and Father, I am sure you are both quite well as I write this... No, that's not how to begin... Hrm...
LYNDIS: Wil? What is it? You've been mumbling over there for a while...
WIL: Ack! L-L-Lady Lyndis!
LYNDIS: Well, you'd think I was a monster come to eat you! Say, did you ever write that letter?
WIL: Actually, that's what I was about to do, you see...
LYNDIS: Wil!
WIL: Ayee! H-Hey! It's tough, you know! I mean, I haven't been home in five years. What do I say?
LYNDIS: Five years!?
WIL: Yes, well, a lot has happened...
LYNDIS: But when I met you in Bern, didn't you say you were on your way home?
WIL: Ah... You remember that?
LYNDIS: Wil!
WIL: C-C'mon, give me a break! Why should I go home? My parents don't care either way.
LYNDIS: ...Is that true?
WIL: Huh?
LYNDIS: Nothing. ...Sorry for pushing you so.
WIL: Lady Lyndis?


Level A:

WIL: Lady Lyndis, about that letter...
LYNDIS: It's OK. Really, you don't have to write one.
WIL: I-I must apologize! I didn't know about your parents... I'm afraid I have been most unforgivably rude!
LYNDIS: ... ...
WIL: Actually...I ran away from home. Together, with a friend... Five years ago. We had a plan, the two of us. We'd get lucky, make a fortune. Both our families'd live in happiness. That was our dream... But things didn't work out that way, of course. My friend went back home after only a month.
LYNDIS: ... ...
WIL: I thought I'd never forgive him, you know? How could he do that? He quit halfway... How could he respect himself after that? Of course...I was no better. I wandered for a few years. Finally, I came as far as Bern... But nothing ever changed. I was afraid to tell my parents, afraid they'd find out... After all, I was the one deserving no respect.
LYNDIS: ...Nothing ever changed? I would think that you realizing your own mistake was a big change.
WIL: Lady Lyndis...
LYNDIS: It's true, Wil. Sain often told me: "That Wil is such a miser, he'll not lend me one gold." "What's the point in saving all the time? Gold's to be spent!"
WIL: ... ...
LYNDIS: And Kent, too, he said: "Wil is my best student--the most attentive by far." "He's driven, that one..." "There's someone he wants to please by becoming a knight, I can tell."
WIL: ... ...
LYNDIS: Stay in the Knights of Caelin until you've reached your goal. But I think your parents would like to hear that you are safe and well... More than seeing you as a knight years from now... or having you bring them mountains of gold...
WIL: Lady Lyndis... I'll do It. I'll write them a letter tonight.
LYNDIS: Yes. And Wil... I'm sorry for pushing you.
WIL: Not at all! I feel like I will owe you until my dying day, Lady Lyndis.
LYNDIS: Remember, a letter isn't enough. You need to go home.
WIL: Yes! I will!
