Leif/Bond conversations

This page contains all data pertaining to Leif's bond conversations in Fire Emblem Engage.

Alear

C Bond

Alear: I fight to save the world that my mother loved. But I’ll need your help, Leif.

Leif: If it can bring about the peace you desire so strongly, then my sword arm is yours!

B Bond

Alear: It’s hard knowing that my mother loved me so much, but I can never repay her kindness.

Leif: It is enough that you express those feelings. Somewhere, your mother is surely listening.

A Bond

Alear: Am I doing enough in your opinion, Leif? I feel like everyone expects so much of me…

Leif: It is hard to bear such a burden on your own. Focus not on your failings, but your strengths.

Alear: My strengths?

Leif: People believe in you. They follow you. Show them a path to peace, and they will walk it.

Vander

C Bond

Vander: Sir Leif, please, would you offer some guidance to the Divine Dragon? It seems needed.

Leif: Gladly. If I can help, I will do so.

B Bond

Vander: The Divine Dragon’s sometimes-reckless behavior can put quite a fright in me.

Leif: Understandable, though danger is a fact of life. It’s our job to keep that danger in check.

A Bond

Leif: I see an old friend when I look at you. Sadly, his death was a result of my carelessness. He sacrificed everything to fulfill my wishes. And I could give him nothing in return…

Vander: I do not know this person, but I imagine they were proud to have served you. To have someone in their life who was both lord and friend? A rare blessing indeed.

Clanne

C Bond

Clanne: Lord Leif, do you have any suggestions for how to be someone the Divine Dragon can rely on?

Leif: I think you have more to teach me in that respect than I have to offer you.

B Bond

Leif: Clanne, you are busy as ever today. Is all of your effort in the name of the Divine Dragon?

Clanne: Yes! It takes a lot of work to make sure the Divine Dragon gets enough rest.

A Bond

Leif: I heard Framme using a word─”venerable.” It means more than simply being “likable,” yes?

Clanne: True. It’s a bit more than just being likable. It’s more like saying you respect somebody because they’re full of wisdom.

Leif: I see. There are truly strong feelings attached to the word. I shall try to use it sometime soon.

Framme

C Bond

Leif: You look as if you are deep in concentration. Whatever could have you so preoccupied?

Framme: I’m making an outfit to celebrate how great the Divine Dragon is!

B Bond

Leif: You are training again today, Framme? Your tireless efforts are most impressive!

Framme: I gotta be in tip-top shape for praying to the Divine One. My prayers are very athletic.

A Bond

Framme: OK, what we do now is wait at that corner for the Divine One to pass by. Yes. The line of sight seems like it’d be perfect. Is it really OK to bring you along for this stuff?

Leif: Of course! I asked you to, remember? I enjoy learning about your unusual style of worship. They’re coming. Let’s go, Framme. It will be the best angle to see from, do you agree?

Alfred

C Bond

Alfred: Nng, ngh, hyah… Another solid morning’s training done with!

Leif: How driven he must be to begin his training so early in the morning! I must follow his example.

B Bond

Leif: Why are you staring so intently at your arm?

Alfred: Just checking in with my body. My arms say everything’s A-OK! How about you, Leif?

A Bond

Alfred: I hide it well, but I was a pretty sickly kid. My mother was always worried about my health.

Leif: It is your intense training that has brought you your current, robust health, I take it?

Alfred: No doubt. I took it seriously and never missed a single workout session.

Leif: I could learn a lot from your dedication and how you overcome your problems without giving up.

Etie

C Bond

Leif: Etie, are you all right?! I heard an unearthly noise.

Etie: Sorry about that! I was training a little too hard and accidentally took out a wall.

B Bond

Etie: You look a little nervous. You know what helps with that? Weight training!

Leif: I may as well. I doubt I can develop any muscle, but it should be invigorating anyway.

A Bond

Leif: Seeing the things you put yourself through in the name of training is rather daunting.

Etie: It’s not for the faint of heart, that’s for sure. But I’ve got a secret weapon. It’s a Firenese muscle balm. It boosts the effects of your training, no matter who you are.

Leif: But even with that, you still have to train, right? If only you could cut that part out entirely…

Boucheron

C Bond

Leif: Boucheron? What are you doing here?

Boucheron: The horse I was using as a landmark ran off. Could you tell me the way back to the prince?

B Bond

Leif: Have you lost your way again? Alfred was looking for you.

Boucheron: So I keep hearing. If he doesn’t stay put, we might be going in circles like this forever.

A Bond

Boucheron: You’re not busy today, are you, Leif? Want to come fishing with me?

Leif: A fine idea. The weather is perfect for it. And you shall need me along to prevent you from becoming lost on the way.

Boucheron: Hahaha, guilty as charged. Whether in or out of battle, I’d always be lost without you.

Céline

C Bond

Céline: I shall need your aid, Leif, if I hope to protect my beloved Firene─let alone the world.

Leif: You will have it, Céline. Let us fight so that the people can be secure in a peaceful world.

B Bond

Céline: Won’t you join me for tea? I’ve acquired a batch of the finest leaves in Firene.

Leif: They smell incredible. Like flowers, and the sun, and the rich, fertile ground…

A Bond

Leif: Whatever has put you in such a good mood?

Céline: A new shoot sprouted in the courtyard flower bed. And I had a lovely cup of tea earlier today. These small joys are to be cherished. I hope you don’t think me childish for that.

Leif: Never! You have taught me that a happy life is built from the slow accumulation of small joys.

Chloé

C Bond

Chloé: I think the thing that makes you most like a fairy-tale hero is your bright, shining armor.

Leif: I am no hero, though. That role was foisted upon me by others.

B Bond

Leif: Whatever are you eating, Chloé?

Chloé: A large snake boiled in medicinal herbs. I’m really sorry I can’t share with you.

A Bond

Chloé: Hey, Leif, don’t go too overboard, OK?

Leif: What brought on the sudden bout of concern?

Chloé: Well, you always seem a little tense. Relax! I’m here for you.

Leif: I am still not quite used to this world, I suppose. Your help will get me there. Thank you, Chloé.

Louis

C Bond

Louis: Is there anything I can do for you, Leif? Perhaps find you a suitable partner for socializing?

Leif: Uh, that is quite all right, Louis. Thank you for offering, though.

B Bond

Louis: I’ve brewed some tea. Shall we enjoy it together while admiring the scenery?

Leif: It smells most wonderful, Louis. I assume by “scenery,” you mean those people over there?

A Bond

Leif: You have a grim look today, Louis. Is there something wrong?

Louis: Yes. Try as I might, I’m having difficulty completely fading into the background.

Leif: Ah, it would be a useful talent for setting up an ambush. I have no advice for you, though.

Louis: I had thought more along the lines of observing scenes play out naturally. But still, thank you.

Yunaka

C Bond

Yunaka: Y’know, Leif, I get the feeling you’ve been through some tough stuff. I respect that.

Leif: The feeling is mutual, Yunaka. I admire your fighting spirit.

B Bond

Leif: I heard quite a strange cackle coming from this direction. What is going on, Yunaka?

Yunaka: Oh, not much─just got my hands on some of the deadliest weaponry you’ve ever seen.

A Bond

Yunaka: Ugh… Think I did one too many impressions. Throat’s killing me.

Leif: Yes, you may have overdone it. I wish I could offer you a restorative drink from my homeland. That stuff could heal any ailment. It would have fixed you right up.

Yunaka: I can pretend. Power of imagination, right? Keep describing it. I’ll tell you when it works.

Alcryst

C Bond

Leif: Hello, Alcryst. Have you been enjoying this gentle weather? I certainly have.

Alcryst: Are you talking to me?! Oh, Leif, your kind heart makes me so nervous. I’m not worthy.

B Bond

Leif: Why are you standing so far away, Alcryst? Please, come a little closer.

Alcryst: So majestic… So regal… Huh? Oh! No thank you, Leif. I’m fine back here in your periphery.

A Bond

Alcryst: Brodia is known for its precious gems, but I fight for our people. They’re the real treasure.

Leif: That sounds like the mindset of a true leader. Brodia’s citizens must be proud of you, Alcryst.

Alcryst: N-no, that can’t be true. How could they? If the citizens are like gems, I’m more like…a pebble.

Leif: You place value in your country’s people. I am sure they value you in return…and so do I.

Citrinne

C Bond

Citrinne: Oh! I’m sorry, Leif. You must have thought I was glaring at you. That’s just my resting face.

Leif: That was not my thinking at all, Citrinne. You have a very kind aura about you.

B Bond

Leif: Tell me, Citrinne, why did you want to become one of Alcryst’s retainers?

Citrinne: He’s my cousin. I wanted to protect him, so I spoke with my family and… Well, here I am!

A Bond

Citrinne: I became Alcryst’s retainer through my family’s connections. My actual skills are…rather lacking. I’m working hard to improve, but everyone else is so strong. I don’t think I’ll ever catch up.

Leif: Try not to rush yourself. Strength in battle is not something you can achieve overnight. Besides, your allies count on you for more than sheer strength. That is certainly true of me.

Lapis

C Bond

Lapis: Mmm, sugar water is such a great pick-me-up… Ah! Leif?! Have you been here the whole time?

Leif: Incredible! There are so many ways to consume sugar… You are so knowledgeable, Lapis.

B Bond

Leif: Are you weeding during your break? You are such a diligent worker, Lapis.

Lapis: I don’t know about that. I’m just stocking up on backup rations. I mean, uh… Yep! I’m weeding!

A Bond

Leif: The country of Thracia was mostly barren land. This led to wars between the north and south.

Lapis: I bet food was hard to come by out there. That reminds me… Have you ever eaten bear?

Leif: We did not encounter many bears…but there were plenty of wyverns.

Lapis: I’ve never tried wyvern… How do they taste? How does their meat keep? Tell me more!

Diamant

C Bond

Diamant: It’s such an honor to be speaking with you, Leif. I have much to discuss regarding my kingdom…

Leif: I look forward to working with you as well, Diamant. I am happy to help however I can.

B Bond

Diamant: The people of Elusia deeply resent my country. I need to foster peace between our nations.

Leif: Do not rush. I believe you are the best person to find a way forward, but these things take time.

A Bond

Diamant: The truth is, I’m not as confident as I may seem. I’ve never told anyone that─not even Alcryst.

Leif: I once lacked confidence…but my friends guided me and helped my heart grow much stronger. You have great friends too, Diamant. This quest is how you will grow, and I will be by your side.

Diamant: Thank you, Leif. I’ll strive to become a king as wise as you…the Sage Lord himself.

Amber

C Bond

Amber: I’m Amber, one of Prince Diamant’s retainers. You can call me the alpaca-wrangling master!

Leif: The alpaca-wrangling master, you say… That has a curiously pleasant ring to it.

B Bond

Leif: You seem to be in high spirits today, Amber. You receive some good news?

Amber: I found a recipe for a legendary secret potion that gives you endless energy! Wanna see, Leif?

A Bond

Amber: I want to create an entire battalion of alpacas, but I can’t get Prince Diamant to sign off on it…

Leif: Hmm… If I were Diamant, I would surely prefer horses. Alpacas may be difficult to mobilize. What unique strengths do alpacas have? If you lead with those, he might be easier to convince.

Amber: Oh, there are so many! Like, um…uh… Oh! Their cuteness! It’ll sap an enemy’s will to fight!

Jade

C Bond

Leif: Jade? I can feel you staring at me… Do I have something on my face?

Jade: Huh? No. Sorry, Leif. I was lost in a new story idea, but…it’s gone now.

B Bond

Leif: Whatever is the matter, Jade? You look as if something has upset you.

Jade: Huh? No, I’m fine. In fact, I’m in a particularly good mood. Is it that hard to tell?

A Bond

Jade: Leif? Do you have a spare moment?

Leif: Yes, I have time right now. What would you like to discuss?

Jade: I need a twist for my new novel. Are there any tales from your world that might inspire me?

Leif: I see! I would be happy to assist. Let me begin with the story of the 12 crusaders…

Ivy

C Bond

Ivy: Having your power used against your will… You must be furious.

Leif: Nothing of the sort, Ivy. I am honored to fight at your side.

B Bond

Ivy: There is so much to be done, and yet I only seem capable of wallowing in my own regrets.

Leif: Honest introspection is never easy. But take heart─you will make a fine queen.

A Bond

Ivy: I wish I could be more like you and the Divine One. You are both so honest and pure. I want people to believe me─to believe in me. It sounds ridiculous saying it out loud.

Leif: It is not ridiculous at all. In fact, I would argue this wish of yours has already come true. You are surrounded by friends and allies, are you not? They believe in you. As do I.

Kagetsu

C Bond

Kagetsu: Please ask if you need something, Leif. I am always happy to help my dearest friends.

Leif: Thank you, Kagetsu. No one has called me a dearest friend quite so quickly as you.

B Bond

Kagetsu: You are well practiced in swordplay, are you not? Come, show me your skill!

Leif: You would like to spar? All right. I will gladly show you the swordsmanship of Leonster.

A Bond

Kagetsu: Tell me more stories of your world, Leif. I am very curious.

Leif: I have already told you almost all there is to tell. I will run out of material very soon at this rate.

Kagetsu: My curiosity is not even close to running out! Tell me more! I demand satisfaction!

Leif: Ha! Very well. Let me tell you of a battle which hinged on the efficacy of murder holes…

Zelkov

C Bond

Leif: You are always in a rush to find something to do after a battle, Zelkov. Are you all right?

Zelkov: Your concern is unwarranted. I am simply returning to the pursuits which *sustain* me.

B Bond

Leif: Perhaps you could teach me how to make medicine. It would be useful for me to know.

Zelkov: Absolutely not. Making medicine is my *role.* What would I do if you replaced me?

A Bond

Zelkov: What do you *intend* to do next, after we have achieved our aims?

Leif: When all is done, and there is no more reason to call on me, I suppose I will return to my ring.

Zelkov: Does the notion of *idleness* therein not trouble you? Are you even conscious in there?

Leif: It is like sleeping. Perhaps I will content myself to dream of the time we spent together.

Fogado

C Bond

Fogado: All right, all right! It’s time to do my rounds. I tell you, I am no good at sitting still.

Leif: If you are going on patrol, I shall join you. It will be nice to have a chat off the battlefield.

B Bond

Fogado: You know, my sister is real tough. Still, I can’t help but feel like I should protect her.

Leif: I know how you feel. I would want to help my sister as well. Siblings are like that.

A Bond

Fogado: So, Leif, um…are you good at fishing? And if you are, would you mind teaching me?

Leif: Teach you to fish? You do not know how?

Fogado: I know. Seems like I should, but I don’t. Please, you’re the only one I’m comfortable asking.

Leif: Haha, in that case, I am pleased you asked. I may not teach you well, but I will teach you!

Pandreo

C Bond

Pandreo: Ah, Lord Leif! I─ I’m so nervous. I haven’t even greeted you. Here goes… AROOO!

Leif: AROO! That is your greeting? The etiquette traditions in this country are strange indeed.

B Bond

Pandreo: Lord Leif, I understand your parents passed away. Would it be OK if I prayed for them?

Leif: So very thoughtful of you, Pandreo. I believe my mother and father would appreciate it.

A Bond

Leif: You seem unusually busy today. Are you preparing for some kind of event?

Pandreo: Yes, in fact! I’m preparing for a banquet. A banquet…to celebrate our friendship! There’s a seat just for you. It’s the one with all the decorations. There’s a card for you too.

Leif: It says, “Thank you for everything.” Ah, you are too kind. I should be thanking you, Pandreo.

Bunet

C Bond

Leif: I am called Sage Lord, but have much to learn. I hope you may teach me a thing or two.

Bunet: The Sage Lord…what a delicious title. I’m sure we can learn a great deal from each other, Leif.

B Bond

Bunet: I use my sense of taste to learn about the world. So, might I taste the glowing light around you?

Leif: You want to taste…the light? I wonder… Does each Emblem’s glow have a unique flavor?

A Bond

Leif: You want to make a dish…out of the glowy light emitted by Emblems? Is this even possible?

Bunet: So far, I haven’t been able to capture the glow, but I am certain it will taste delicious when I do. Which is why I need you, Leif. I need you to use all your might to glow as brightly as you can.

Leif: I am not convinced this glow of mine will taste good. But for you Bunet, I will glow my best!

Timerra

C Bond

Leif: A pleasure to meet you, Timerra. I vow to do my best and earn your friendship along the way.

Timerra: Pleasure’s all mine. Oh, I just thought of a song! ♪La-la-Leif, he’s better than deep-fried beef!♪

B Bond

Timerra: You gotta appreciate a lady with a sense of style, am I right?

Leif: Oh, uh, yes. I once cherished a lady who I thought to be quite stylish.

A Bond

Leif: Is something amiss, Timerra? You have not been singing of late. That is quite unusual for you.

Timerra: Oh, Leif. I wrote this new song about how much I love Emblems, but no one wants to listen to it.

Leif: About Emblems, you say? As an Emblem myself, I would be happy to have a listen.

Timerra: Really?! You’re the best. I’m gonna belt it out straight from the heart just for you! Here goes…

Panette

C Bond

Leif: Panette! Why is there an insect trapped inside that bottle?

Panette: Because I plan to keep it, that’s why. Just look at it! Its colors are truly splendid to behold.

B Bond

Panette: Time to pull these lousy weeds. Get outta here! Oh, Leif! However might I be of service to you?

Leif: Oh, well, I thought I might help you with the gardening. But you seem to have it well in hand.

A Bond

Panette: You have arrived at a most opportune time. I am about to have a snack. Would you join me?

Leif: Yes, thank you. Though I will have to enjoy the smell only. Are you eating those red…things?

Panette: Indeed, I am! They are my favorite chips. I’m told some people find their smell quite unusual.

Leif: Gah! Unusual…yes…quite. You do enjoy some peculiar things.

Merrin

C Bond

Merrin: Sir Leif, I wonder if we could discuss the recent battle? I’d like your honest opinion on a matter.

Leif: Of course! I am always happy to provide whatever knowledge or insight I can.

B Bond

Leif: Merrin, I have noticed you carefully observing animals on several occasions. Why is that?

Merrin: I like to study things I admire. In fact, I have studied you on occasion as well, Sir Leif.

A Bond

Merrin: When we finally have peace, I plan to travel. My dream is to see animals no one has seen before. I’ve traveled some, of course, but there’s still so much to see. Sir Leif, what do you dream of?

Leif: I suppose I dream of seeing my hometown flourishing and at peace. But that is my dream as a king. Perhaps I should find my own personal dream just as you have.

Hortensia

C Bond

Hortensia: You’ve seen my sister fight up close, Leif. I know she’s good. How do I measure up?

Leif: Your skills are impressive indeed. I look forward to seeing more of your work on the battlefield.

B Bond

Leif: It is time to move out, Hortensia. Are you ready? Is something wrong with your head?

Hortensia: I’m trying to get my hair right! You don’t expect me to go to battle looking like this, do you?

A Bond

Hortensia: Do you think it’s OK to believe what I want, even if my country worships the Fell Dragon?

Leif: If you are asking me that, I would say you must already have the answer you seek.

Hortensia: Ugh, way to avoid the question. Can you just give me some validation, please?

Leif: Haha, I think you should do what you feel is right, and I am happy to help you decide that.

Seadall

C Bond

Seadall: You should watch me dance, Leif. I’ve read your fortune, and it says dancing will bring you luck.

Leif: Oh? Your fortune-telling accuracy is renowned. I shall be sure to see your performance.

B Bond

Seadall: Tempting as it is, I avoid food that is not the perfect fuel for my dance. This, for instance…

Leif: I see lots of oil, butter, sugar… That does look delicious.

A Bond

Leif: You seem so full of confidence, Seadall. But you still evade savory treats, correct?

Seadall: Think nothing of it. My dancing is strong, and puts a smile on the face of all who see it. But, Leif, I have seen Le Chariot in your fortune. You have evaded much yourself. Grief, perhaps?

Leif: I have. But that is where I get my strength from. I will make the people I lost proud of who I am.

Rosado

C Bond

Rosado: Cuteness is the highest virtue. I’ve never seen a cute thing I didn’t love.

Leif: There is something to be said for simple and straightforward values. Good for you.

B Bond

Leif: What motivates you to be a soldier, Rosado? There is nothing cute about war.

Rosado: Of course not. But I fight so everyone can have the chance to be cute.

A Bond

Rosado: It’s time we realized the full potential of your cuteness, Leif. Take a look at this!

Leif: That is quite a colorful outfit. And a very nice wig, as well. Are these…for me?

Rosado: Of course! Cuteness is the highest virtue, remember. Do your part for the cause, OK?

Leif: Regrettably, I cannot. As fine as these may be, I lack the physical form needed to wear them.

Goldmary

C Bond

Goldmary: You know, Leif, I wouldn’t blame you if you began to develop feelings for me.

Leif: I already have feelings about you, Goldmary. I think you and I will make good friends.

B Bond

Goldmary: I’m sorry if my dazzling grace distracts you in battle. I’m afraid it’s out of my control.

Leif: No need to apologize. If by some chance I were distracted, it would be my fault, not yours.

A Bond

Leif: Is something the matter? You seem dejected.

Goldmary: I am thinking of all the distraction I’ve inflicted on others in battle with my alluring elegance. Is it selfish that I want you to notice how charming I am, even in the middle of a war?

Leif: Do not trouble yourself over that, Goldmary. You are a fine ally to have on the battlefield.

Lindon

C Bond

Lindon: I’m Lindon. Pleased to meet you. You let these old bones know if they can help you in any way.

Leif: You are more than your bones, I am sure. I am very glad to have your help.

B Bond

Leif: That portrait you carry with you everywhere… Is that your wife?

Lindon: Ah, you noticed it, did you? What do you think? She was quite the woman, you know.

A Bond

Leif: Oh! That smells so good. Is it one of the cookies you baked with magic?

Lindon: Haha! That it is. If only you could taste it!

Leif: The scent is enough for me. I am very intrigued by your method of baking with magic.

Lindon: Magic can be a boon or a bane depending on how you use it. I bake to remind people of that.

Saphir

C Bond

Saphir: Have I got something on my face, Leif? You’re staring.

Leif: Forgive me─you simply remind me of someone. A strong woman who was very dear to me.

B Bond

Saphir: War is horrible, but that’s exactly why we have to fight. I don’t want to lose anyone else.

Leif: I feel the same way. War may be a tragedy, but we must fight to prevent an even greater one.

A Bond

Leif: Saphir, what are you doing with that fish?

Saphir: I got it from a friend, but even if I cook it, it’s too much for one person to eat.

Leif: I am sure I could track down a few people who would be happy to enjoy your cooking.

Saphir: Hehe, thanks. If we’re having a feast, though, I’d better use a fancier recipe.

Veyle

C Bond

Veyle: I have done terrible things to you, Leif, and to the others. You must hate fighting beside me.

Leif: I do not hate it, Veyle, I assure you. You are a welcome partner on the battlefield and off.

B Bond

Leif: Those look delicious, though that hint of red makes me think them too fiery for my tastes.

Veyle: You have a good eye! These sweets are very spicy. Hmm, I guess I better not share them.

A Bond

Leif: Veyle? Did you need me for something?

Veyle: Leif, I’ve been so happy fighting by your side. I…I hope you’ll always be my comrade in arms.

Leif: Of course I will, Veyle. I will be your comrade- in-arms… No, your friend, now and forever.

Veyle: Oh, thank you! I promise I’ll do everything I can and make you proud to stand by my side.

Mauvier

C Bond

Mauvier: Sir Leif, your combat skills are impressive. Is it inconvenient to ask we join forces again, soon?

Leif: No inconvenience at all. I will happily fight at your side any day.

B Bond

Mauvier: This place and these people…are too kind. Dealing with such behavior is confusing.

Leif: Where lies the confusion? You are their ally, and they assume they are yours.

A Bond

Mauvier: Protecting those I hold dear is my goal. Yet, so often my decision making is poor.

Leif: It is too early to know the impact of all your choices. Your story is far from over. Trust your instincts─act to protect your friends.

Mauvier: Thank you. You are correct. My doubts cloud my judgment, and they shall be abandoned.

Anna

C Bond

Leif: Have I…met you before?

Anna: I’m Lady Anna, a traveling merchant! I sell only the best, so snap it up now or regret it later!

B Bond

Leif: I see you are in high spirits again today, Lady Anna. Are you off to market?

Anna: Yep! Today I’m rolling out a special membership program for repeat customers.

A Bond

Leif: Why did you decide to join our cause?

Anna: Finding my family was a big part of it. Plus, if the world ends, my business goes kaput too. I figure people will be so happy when the war ends that they’ll be willing to spend big!

Leif: Ha! You think big yourself, for one so small. I suspect you are correct.

Jean

C Bond

Leif: That last battle was rather vicious. Are you all right, Jean?

Jean: Thanks for asking, but it’ll take more than that to discourage me.

B Bond

Leif: You did very well last time. It was due to your efforts that we had no serious injuries.

Jean: I can patch people up, but what I’m working for is a world where they don’t get hurt.

A Bond

Jean: How did you get to be so strong, Leif? I wish I was more like you.

Leif: I wonder the same thing about others. Besides, Jean, you are stronger than you know already.

Jean: It doesn’t feel like that. I’ve put in the study and practiced a lot, but I’m not a great doctor yet.

Leif: No need to hurry. Simply fix your eyes upon your goal and reach it one step at a time.

Nel

C Bond

Nel: You are incredibly wise for a human, Leif. I see why they call you the Sage Lord.

Leif: If I seem so, I credit my education. I was rather shamefully ignorant in my youth.

B Bond

Nel: I hear you were unable to wield your family’s holy weapon. That must have been difficult.

Leif: For a time, I felt inadequate. But eventually I realized that one’s will is what truly matters.

A Bond

Nel: I apologize for rudely raising such a delicate issue earlier. But it reminded me of my brother.

Leif: No need to apologize. Speaking with you makes me nostalgic. You remind me of an old friend. Someone who often spoke sternly, sometimes even harshly, but only ever out of kindness.

Nel: Perhaps, with your continued instruction, I can someday be as wise as this old friend of yours.

Rafal

C Bond

Rafal: Enjoy your glory while it lasts. I will not allow you to outshine me again in the next battle.

Leif: I look forward to watching you work, Rafal. And I hope to earn your trust in time.

B Bond

Rafal: Do you ever rest? Surely even an Emblem is susceptible to exhaustion.

Leif: We do not tire easily, no, but that means you can always lean on me when you are fatigued.

A Bond

Rafal: It has come to my attention that you have an older sister as well. You should have told me.

Leif: Hah! We were separated young. But she is exceptional and strong─my total opposite. If she were here now, our battles would be much easier.

Rafal: I understand that deeply. But if I am to rely on you, you cannot diminish yourself.

Zelestia

C Bond

Zelestia: I lose my composure at the slightest upset. It’s incredible how collected you always are, Leif.

Leif: If you let your emotions take over, you’ll be a liability in battle. That’s one thing I try to avoid.

B Bond

Zelestia: I know I underperformed out there. I feel my confidence waning. Would you train with me?

Leif: Of course, I can train with you. I’ll continue to accompany you until you feel more confident.

A Bond

Zelestia: If I’d been this strong before, I might have been able to protect the Divine Dragon and Mauvier.

Leif: Regret won’t bring back the ones you have lost. We must keep moving forward. Let’s live now, so that when your life fades, you can meet them again with your head held high.

Zelestia: Yes! And until I see them again, I’ll work hard to become someone I can be proud of!

Gregory

C Bond

Gregory: I’m a coward and unworthy of being granted power from the Sage Lord, but…

Leif: Please don’t belittle yourself, Gregory. You fought marvelously in battle.

B Bond

Gregory: I’m sorry, Leif. Even after you lent me your power, I still wanted to run away. I’m hopeless…

Leif: You’re not hopeless. I’m sure that you could hold your ground if you truly needed to.

A Bond

Gregory: Having you with me…it’s made me calmer and more confident in battle. Does it show?

Leif: It does. But you must remember that it isn’t always wise to fight. Sometimes, one must run. If I’d understood that sooner, I could have saved someone… I wish I could tell my past self that.

Gregory: I didn’t know you had a similar experience. If you want to share your story, I’d love to hear it.

Madeline

C Bond

Madeline: I wonder what it really means to be a knight. I’d be honored if you could teach me your ways.

Leif: What it means to be a knight? I don’t think there’s one easy answer, but I’ll think about it.

B Bond

Madeline: I heard a rumor that a brilliant knight served you a long time ago.

Leif: That’s true. He served my late father. When my kingdom fell, he took me with him and we fled.

A Bond

Madeline: The knight who served you must have been exceptional to keep you hidden for 10 years.

Leif: He was, yes. He went through some terrible hardships because of me.

Madeline: Hardships come with the profession─one must be ready for anything.

Leif: I think integrity like that befits a knight. May our work together continue a long time.
