Avatar: Oh, hello, Niles. What are you up to?
Niles: Ah, Lord Avatar. What a pleasant surprise. Tell me, what do you suspect I am up to?
Avatar: Well, I can't really tell from here.
Niles: Then you should come a little closer. Don't worry, I don't bite.
Avatar: Ok...
Niles: Meow!
Avatar: Gah! What was that for?
Niles: Sorry, I just felt like teasing you. I'm all done now. So if you are genuinely curious about what I'm doing... Please, feel free to come a little closer...
Avatar: Well...
Niles: Scared of what I might do next? I don't blame you. I havent yet earned your trust. It's smart of you to be skeptical.
Avatar: No, no... I trust you.
Niles: You do> How foolish! After all, I don't yet trust YOU.
Avatar: What?! Why not?
Niles: Because we barely know each other, milord. Trust is often borne out of a violent confrontation or traumatic experience. I suppose you must have had some kind of blessed childhood, free from worry.
Avatar: I don't remember anything of my childhood.
Niles: My apologies. Clearly a sore subject. Of all people, I should know better than to bribe the secrets of a troubled history.
Avatar: What do you mean by "of all people"? What happened to you?
Niles: Oh ho! You offer nothing and expect juicy gossip in return. Sorry, child, but you'll have to do better than that.
B support
Avatar: Niles, do you have a moment?
Niles: Still fishing for a story about my sordid past, are you?
Avatar: No, it's not that. I think because my memories are so limited... I'm always curious to hear about other people's backgrounds.
Niles: I see. You know, I do believe you are genuinely curious.
Avatar: I am. So, would you be willing to share a little bit of your past with me?
Niles: Very well. But you should know up front that it's not all lollipops and puppy dogs. Since I was a child, I've had to do a lot of unsavory things just to survive. Steal, beg, kill--just another Tuesday for li'l Niles, sadly.
Avatar: Gods...
Niles: Surprised? I haven't even gotten to the good stuff.
Avatar: I'm so sorry. I think I've heard enough for now. I should have known better than to pry.
Niles: Please, it's all in the past. But you should know that if we continue, there is a nonzero chance you may faint.
Avatar: I'm so sorry. You're putting on a brave face, but I can't imagine...
Niles: No. If anything, I should apologize to you. You asked so sweetly, and here I am teasing you again. My past was troubled, and I certainly suffered a great deal. But it is all in the past, and I don't mind sharing. At least, I don't mind sharing with someone whose motives are pure. As I believe yours are.
Avatar: Well, thank you. Perhaps we could chat again another time...
Niles: Certainly, Lord Avatar. Let me know when you're in the mood for another trust-building session.

Niles: Hello, Lord Adam.
Avatar: Niles? Is something wrong?
Niles: No, of course not. I just thought I'd offer you the pleasure of my company.
Avatar: Oh. Heh! Yeah, that sounds good. It's been a while since we've chatted.
Niles: Oh? A chat? With a near-infinite array of more stimulating activities available to us?
Avatar: Do I dare ask for an example?
Niles: Oh, let's see... How about low-friction tactical grappling and strategy?
Avatar: Uh...I've never heard of that. What's involved?
Niles: Oh, it's a valuable training technique. First, we simulate the conditions of low friction by applying oil to our bodies. Then we practice various situational grappling techniques.
Avatar: Niles, that just sounds like oil wrestling. I don't think I'm ready for that.
Niles: Very well! Then I suppose we'll just have to have a VERY stimulating chat.
Avatar: Yes, that sounds good.
Niles: Hmm...
Avatar: ... Niles?
Niles: You know, I'm afraid I'm fresh out of stimulating topics of conversation.
Avatar: Oh...I see.
Niles: Isn't that peculiar? There's nothing I wish to discuss, and yet I approached you today. Why is that?
Avatar: I...I couldn't tell you.
Niles: Perhaps I just wanted to see that flustered look on your face again. No, that's not it... Perhaps, in a twisted sort of way... I wish to connect with you as a person.
Avatar: Heh, Niles, there's nothing twisted about that. It's normal.
Niles: Well! That's the first time anyone's ever used that word to describe me. Would you mind terribly if we try this whole "human connection" thing again later?
Avatar: Of course not. Please, be my guest.
S support
Niles: Good day, Lord Avatar.
Avatar: Hello, Niles. how can I help you?
Niles: Well, this might seem out of character, but I was hoping we could have a serious chat.
Avatar: Oh, that doesn't sound good. Is something the matter?
Niles: Hmm. I suppose it depends. On how you respond to the topic at hand.
Avatar: All right... So what did you want to talk about?
Niles: I was just wondering...if you believe a person can be irreparably damaged.
Avatar: You're talking about yourself. Is that how you feel about yourself?
Niles: No. But I was wondering if that's how you perceive me.
Avatar: Where is this coming from?
Niles: Do you believe a person with a broken past can build a real future?
Avatar: Well, I certainly hope so. If you'll recall, my past isn't exactly a fairy tale.
Niles: Oh, I know! So given two people with equally complex histories... What do you think would happen if they joined to create a new future together? As a married couple.
Avatar: A married couple?!
Niles: Yes. I've done a lot of thinking about this. You and I have so much in common. You're the first person I've ever met who has shown genuine empathy for me. And I don't believe that's a coincidence.
Avatar: This is a lot to take in.
Niles: Do you think you could marry me? I want you to take this ring.
Avatar: Niles...
Niles: You seem hesitant. Very well, I was aware that my chances were slim...
Avatar: You speak too soon, Niles.
Niles: Hmm?
Avatar: In truth, I've become fascinated with you. You've overcome so much. Our past is out of our control and irrelevant. You've shown me how to love forward. So...yes. I will marry you.
Niles: Ah, I knew I was right about you. How splendid! Well, not that the boring, snappy part is out of the way... We don't have to act so reserved.
Avatar: Wait, this is your "reserved"?
Niles: Oh ho! You haven't seen anything yet.
Confession
Do you have any idea what you're getting into? I sure hope not...

Felicia: And...there. Plated the soup without a hitch. Now to serve it to everyone... *quiver*...*shake*... Ah...aaaah...! N-nooo!
Niles: ...
Felicia: Niles! Oh no! Oh gosh! Are you all right? I'm so sorry! Let me wipe that off right away!
Niles: They told me about this, but I didn't believe them.
Felicia: Huh?
Niles: About your ineptitude below and short of the call of duty, I mean. But to experience it for myself, up close and personal, is something else. Did you want my clothes off so badly that you'd spill hot soup on them?
Felicia: I-it was an accident, I assure you!
Niles: ...*sigh* I guess you're too flustered for the implications to sink in. Well, no matter. I'd just better change my clothes now.
Felicia: Again, I am so, so sorry!
Niles: Right here in the middle of the room is as good a place as any. Don't you think?
Felicia: Wh-whatever you think best!
Niles: And you understand that before I can put the new clothes on... I'll have to strip down out of these soiled, filthy ones.
Felicia: I'll take them straight to the laundry!
Niles: ... You know, it's not as much fun when you don't take the bait. Forget it. I don't need to change—it's not even enough to leave a stain.
Felicia: Oh! So you're not upset? Whew...
B Support
Felicia: Niles, um...I brought dessert for you. I made it just for you, so don't tell anyone about it, OK?
Niles: Why just for me?
Felicia: It's my apology for spilling soup on you.
Niles: Ahh. So you're giving me special treatment, then. Personalized service.
Felicia: Yes. I-I mean, I know it doesn't make up for everything. I just thought...
Niles: No, go ahead. At least I don't have to worry about cake spilling on me.
Felicia: It isn't cake. I prepared something much better than that!
Niles: Oh? Do tell.
Felicia: I'm positive you'll enjoy it. Most people who get a taste of this say it feels like heaven!
Niles: Now you've got my attention. I didn't know you would go to such lengths... You had me fooled with that innocent facade, but you're a real piece of work.
Felicia: Heehee...so you're coming around on me, hmmm?
Niles: I'm seeing you in a new light, that's for certain.
Felicia: All right, now close your eyes, please.
Niles: Funny, that's exactly the light I wanted to see you in next.
Felicia: Now stay still...just like that... Heehee!
Niles: Hello, what's this I'm holding now?
Felicia: Open your eyes and see!
Niles: ...What in the world? It's just a cookie.
Felicia: Oh, it's not JUST a cookie! This cookie is so yummy, you'll feel like you're in heaven! That's why I call it my Angel's Cookie!
Niles: Ngh... If this is a deliberate tease, then my hat is off to you.
Felicia: Wh...what? What do you mean?!
Niles: Don't toy with me. I know you're not that innocent.
Felicia: You don't like the way it tastes...? Don't worry. The name might make it sound bad, but you won't die if you eat it. E-everyone tells me it's really good! I use only the most special honey!
Niles: (She has to be doing this on purpose...)

Felicia: I brought tea, Niles. Would you like some?
Niles: No, I wouldn't.
Felicia: Oh...well, maybe some other time! Whoa... Aaah! Whooooops!
Niles: ...
Felicia: Oh gods! Niles, are you OK?! I didn't burn you, did I?!
Niles: Well, I am smoldering a bit. But what else is new, eh?
Felicia: I'll wipe it off right away! Ohhh, this is so mortifying...
Niles: Don't bother. And don't bother apologizing, for that matter. I won't mince words. Just looking at you burns me worse than any spilled tea could.
Felicia: Huh...?
Niles: You royal servants...living without a care in the world or a thought in your head. It would be easier to take if my nasty jibes had any effect. At least then I could get some satisfaction out of the shocked look on your face. But you're too dull to understand the most basic double entendre. Utterly loathsome...
Felicia: Y-you have me all wrong... I didn't always serve the royal family! I actually came from the Ice Tribe.
Niles: The Ice Tribe? Really? Isn't that the one King Garon brought to heel under Nohrian control?
Felicia: Yes. I'm the chieftain's daughter, in fact.
Niles: Then you must have come to Nohr from your homeland as a hostage.
Felicia: I-I don't think of myself that way...
Niles: But it's the truth regardless. I'm sorry. I take back what I said about you.
Felicia: Huh?
Niles: Life wasn't easy for me growing up, either. So I take great satisfaction in messing with people who had life handed to them. But in your case, I made a mistake. You weren't raised in any warm, loving arms.
Felicia: Ahaha. You're right, the Ice Tribe homeland isn't warm at all. Still...you weren't so wrong when you guessed I haven't known much hardship. I enjoy my life here very much.
Niles: Oh? Well, I'll let it slide either way. My apology still stands, and I'm willing to overlook the tea you dumped on me.
Felicia: Really...?
Niles: So long as you wipe it up before you go.
Felicia: Of course! I'll bring a towel to wipe you off right away. Oh, and more tea!
Niles: The towel is enough. I've had my fill of tea. Maybe some warm milk, though...
S Support
Felicia: You called, Niles?
Niles: Yeah. Take a seat.
Felicia: O-OK. I-is here all right?
Niles: Anywhere is fine. Today, I decided I'd brew you some tea for a change. Wait right here and I'll fetch it.
(Niles leaves)
Felicia: ...
Niles: Sorry to keep you waiting. Some tea for you, and a cookie to go with it.
Felicia: Unbelievable...
Niles: What is?
Felicia: The way you manage to carry the pitcher AND tray without tripping.
Niles: Heh. Don't assume everyone has the same difficulties as you.
Felicia: Of course. My mistake...
Niles: The cookie is an Angel's Cookie. The recipe wasn't that hard to figure out. As for the tea, it's a special blend I devised myself for the occasion.
Felicia: Erm...a special blend of what exactly?
Niles: Here you are. It should be obvious at a glance.
Felicia: Er... Oh! Hahahaha!
Niles: What's so funny?
Felicia: I'm sorry, I shouldn't laugh. I was just surprised to see you make mistakes too. The cup you gave me is empty! And a little dirty... Someone left a ring in it.
Niles: I didn't make any mistake.
Felicia: Huh?
Niles: The ring is a gift to you. Try it on.
Felicia: What? N-no, that's too much! I mean... I can't accept such a valuable gift.
Niles: Ah, but there's a reason I didn't cheap out on it. This is an engagement ring. I want your hand in marriage, Felicia.
Felicia: ...What?
Niles: I've never met a woman like you. You're one of a kind, on multiple levels. I found myself trying to figure out what makes you tick... And then I realized I'd never been so invested in anyone before.
Felicia: That's...high praise. Thank you. If you can overlook my clumsiness, then...I accept.
Niles: Good. Now seriously, try on the ring.
Felicia: I'd be happy to!
Niles: Nice. It looks perfect on you. To hell with heaven, Felicia. You're the only angel I need.
Felicia: Oh, Niles...

Niles: Lady Azura, might I entice you over here for a little chat?
Azura: Uh...
Niles: What's the matter? You don't look busy right now. Surely you can spare a moment.
Azura: It's not that. It's just... What in the world do you and I have to discuss?
Niles: Why, we could talk about any number of things!
Azura: Niles, I'm not trying to be rude, but you have a reputation for being inappropriate!
Niles: That I do! But fear not, milady. I swear to keep my tongue under tight reign with you. I would never want to bring you disgrace by exposing those lovely ears to my filth.
Azura: Are you being serious?
Niles: You have my word.
Azura: I have to confess. I'm a little shocked. I never knew you could be such a gentleman.
Niles: Well, give me a chance sometime. There's more I'd like to explain, but not just yet.
Azura: All right, Niles. I'll wait.
B Support
Niles: Lady Azura, I'm sorry I left you hanging the other day.
Azura: Our conversation ended on a mysterious note, didn't it?
Niles: Let me explain. You see—I believe that you and I are cut from the same cloth.
Azura: Do you? And HOW exactly is that?
Niles: Well, you don't have to look so horrified. At least, allow me to finish! You and I have both experienced real suffering unlike most of the idiots we know.
Azura: What do you mean?
Niles: As a child, I was abandoned by my parents and had to fend for myself in the slums. Before Lord Leo accepted me as his retainer, I was literally living in the gutter...
Azura: I had no idea!
Niles: It's left me with a low tolerance for people who lack compassion. I cannot stand shallow people! I try to avoid them at all costs.
Azura: I understand.
Niles: I know you do. I can tell that you are different from the others, milady. In fact, I get the impression that your childhood was no picnic either. You keep your distance by being aloof, while I actively drive people away. The more people I offend, the fewer I have to put up with. See? We're quite the same.
Azura: You have a point there.
Niles: I thought we should be friends since we've got so much in common.
Azura: I'm a little surprised by all this, but I'm glad to give you a chance.
Niles: Good. We'll talk soon then. I look forward to it.
Azura: Me too, Niles.
A Support
Azura: Niles, so we meet again.
Niles: Yes.
Azura: So...
Niles: Ah...
Azura: ...Hmm. This is awkward. I have no idea what we should talk about! I usually try to avoid making idle chitchat.
Niles: I know what you mean. I can think of a hundred ways to make someone cringe. But when it comes to small talk, I'm at a loss. *sigh* We're like porcupines—aren't we?
Azura: Porcupines?!
Niles: Yes. We've armed ourselves with barbs to drive other people away. Even if I wanted to get close to someone, I'd probably stab them on accident.
Azura: I'd prefer to think of myself as a rose, not a porcupine—but I see what you mean.
Niles: Making friends is hard, isn't it?
Azura: It doesn't have to be.
Niles: No?
Azura: Honestly, Niles, I feel closer to you already. You've shown me another side to you. I think we're doing well for two porcupines! Any closer, and we'll only injure each other.
Niles: Ah, that's fair. We should probably keep a safe distance then.
Azura: Yes. Perhaps we should discuss the weather. Isn't that what others do?
Niles: I believe you're right. Hmm... I rather enjoy sunny days like this. Don't you?
Azura: Yes! But my favorite are snowy winter mornings. I get up early and make cocoa...
S Support
Azura: Niles, is something wrong? You have a very serious look on your face.
Niles: I need to be honest with you.
Azura: Hold on right there! Is that what I think it is?!
Niles: This? It's a ring.
Azura: That better not be a wedding ring!
Niles: Would that be such a problem? Lady Azura, you're all I can think about...
Azura: Let's slow down for a minute and discuss this like two reasonable adults. Niles, I do have feelings for you, but we've barely managed to discuss the weather! It's like you said... If we get too close, we'll only end up hurting each other.
Niles: Who says we have to get any closer?
Azura: But you said—
Niles: I don't want to ruin what we have now, and neither do you. This ring is a sign of my commitment to you. I want to be with you forever...even if it must be from a safe distance.
Azura: Do you really mean that? I am so grateful we found each other. I'll treasure this ring—and you—always.
Niles: Thank you, milady. I never expected to find such happiness.

Niles: Mozu?
Mozu: Gah! Oh, it's just you. Phew! You scared the tar outta me.
Niles: What are you doing in this dump?
Mozu: Hey! Don't call my village a dump. It's not its fault it's all shabby and run down. I mean...yeah, it's seen better days, but...
Niles: You still haven't answered my question. Why would you come here alone?
Mozu: I came looking for something. In all the confusion of the Faceless attack, I left something important behind.
Niles: Oh yeah? Is this "something" valuable?
Mozu: It surely is. It was our sacred treasure. A round ball, about yea big. And not just any old ball, but one with the harvest god's power stored up inside. Thanks to that thing, we were blessed with a good harvest year in and year out.
Niles: Interesting...sort of. It must have been very important to them. And yet, now they're all dead. Oh well.
Mozu: ... Yeah. You're right.
Niles: ...
Mozu: Guess I'd best give up the search for today and head on back.
B Support
Niles: You're still at this?
Mozu: Can't find the dadblamed thing anywhere. Could you lend me a hand?
Niles: I have a better idea... Why don't you give up already?
Mozu: Huh?
Niles: There's nothing here but rubble anymore. I guarantee looters have made off with anything of worth by now. If that ball of yours had any market value, it's long gone.
Mozu: You're...probably right. *sigh* It's kinda sad. I... How come I was the only one left alive...?
Niles: Does it really make you that sad that everyone is dead?
Mozu: Of course it does! That's my family you're talking about.
Niles: ...
Mozu: Haven't you ever been upset when someone passed? Don't you know that knot in your gut when you lose someone?
Niles: ...That's neither here nor there. I prefer not to dwell on those things. Better to live for the pleasures of the now. I could give you a demonstration, if it would take your mind off things.
Mozu: Th-this is hardly the time!
Niles: If you want to wallow in pain and misery in the ruins of your home, suit yourself. But my offer still stands if you'd rather have some fun instead.
Mozu: You...you're horrible...
Niles: And you're boring, which is worse. It wouldn't take much for me to make you feel better. Believe me, I know lots of ways. But I can see you'd rather be miserable, so carry on without me.
(Niles leaves)
Mozu: Wh-what a self-centered jerk...
A Support
Niles: Still down in the mouth, I see.
Mozu: Just go away, Niles...
Niles: This wouldn't happen to be the orb you were searching for, would it?
Mozu: What the—?! That's it! Holy heck! Where'd you find it?!
Niles: Crossed paths with a certain bandit who had it on him.
Mozu: A bandit, huh? So you were right—it did get stolen. But how'd you convince him to give it back?
Niles: I was part of a gang of thieves once. I still have some connections I can tap. Lucky for you, it fell into the hands of a thief who owed me one. So I got it back for you without much fuss.
Mozu: Wow...this means so much to me.
Niles: Anything to make you less boring.
Mozu: Haha, I'm too happy to care why you did it. Thank you, Niles! Seeing this ball again takes me back to those festival days...
Niles: A festival? Now you've got my interest.
Mozu: Yep. We'd put up a great big pedestal in the village square and place the ball on top. Then we'd all get in a big circle and dance around it.
Niles: It sounds like quite a production.
Mozu: Those were the good days. Hey, you wanna give it a try?
Niles: Hm? Can you be more specific?
Mozu: Let's you and me bop around the village square, for old times' sake.
Niles: Oh, no. No no no no no.
Mozu: Hey, don't knock it before you try it! You and me are pals now. I'm sure the harvest god wants to see you dance too!
S Support
Mozu: I wanted to thank you again for the other day, Niles.
Niles: I told you, I don't need thanks.
Mozu: Then I'll just say your dancing was mighty fine for a first-timer.
Niles: You cut a fairly cute figure yourself.
Mozu: Whuh...you mean that?
Niles: It's what I was thinking about the whole time we were dancing.
Mozu: Y'know... The harvest god handles fertility stuff, too. When a gal and a fella dance around his ball at the festival...
Niles: Go on.
Mozu: I can't say it. It's too embarrassing.
Niles: Then let me guess: they're blessed with children?
Mozu: Whoa there! You're getting ahead of yourself, buster. B-besides, the way I was raised, children don't come until after the wedding.
Niles: Of course. How could I forget? Let me fix that by asking for your hand in marriage.
Mozu: What?! Talk about out of the blue!
Niles: It's not as sudden as you think. I came to see you today with that in mind.
Mozu: Huh?! You like me that much?
Niles: If I didn't, why would I have gone to such lengths to get this orb back?
Mozu: Wait a sec...you said before it was no big deal getting me my harvest ball. Niles, you sneaky so and so.
Niles: Let me know once you're past the obvious and up to speed.
Mozu: Haha, I'll marry you, you big grump. Someone needs to take the edge off you, after all.
Niles: We'll be a family, won't we? That'll be a new experience for me. But I'm excited to explore the idea with you. Now, when you feel ready to cry, you can come do it on my shoulder.
Mozu: Thanks, Niles. You've got a kind heart behind that smug grin after all.

Niles: Hm? Where do you think you're going?
Elise: What do you mean?
Niles: The war council is assembling in a few minutes. Aren't you to be there?
Elise: Yeah, but I'm not going.
Niles: Oh? Why is that?
Elise: 'Cause everyone just treats me like a kid. Even if I go, they won't listen to me.
Niles: The best way to get treated like an adult may be to think of yourself as one. Or perhaps to simply act like one by actually attending your meetings?
Elise: But everything they talk about always goes right over my head. I can never follow what they're saying.
Niles: That's no excuse. You could try studying more between these meetings. Lord Leo attended such meetings when he was much younger than you are now.
Elise: He did?
Niles: Sure, probably.
Elise: Huh?
Niles: I said "sure, milady."
Elise: OK. Well, I guess you're right. I should probably get going, then...
Niles: I'm happy you've come to see the light, milady. Attending these meetings can only help both you and Nohr. If nothing else, you will learn more simply by being present.
Elise: OK. I'll do my best!
B Support
Elise: *bawling*
Niles: What's the matter, my lady?
Elise: I w-went to the war meeting like you said, but they told me I didn't need to be there! They said i-i-it was too complicated for me! J-j-jerks!
Niles: They what?
Elise: Yeah! Everyone else was there, and I'm th-the only one they said should leave! It's so dumb! Dumb dumb dumb! They're all just a bunch of dumbheads! Why won't they take me seriously?! I even showed up and everything! I'm an adult, right? They should treat me like ooonnee! *sob*
Niles: My apologies. It seems my advice has caused you unnecessary pain.
Elise: No, you were right. I need to study more. I'm no better than a child. My siblings are so mature... Why can't I be like them?
Niles: If I might offer some additional advice, milady?
Elise: OK...I guess. What is it?
Niles: You might take this the wrong way, but I think it's important you hear it. I think the problem lies in your attitude.
Elise: My attitude?
Niles: You want others to see you both as an adult and as a little sister. So while you want them to take you seriously, you pout when they don't. Years may pass, milady, but this alone won't make you mature or responsible. That can only be earned by learning to master yourself and your reactions.
Elise: ...You're right. Thank you, Niles... *sniff* *sniffle* No. No! I can't cry! I'm not a baby!
Niles: No. You may cry as much as you like. You have just heard a hard truth. But when your crying is through, pick yourself up and try again. Study up. I know you can do it.
Elise: Th-th-thank you, Niles! I'll do my best! *sob*

Elise: Niles!
Niles: Lady Elise? You seem more energetic of late.
Elise: I did what you said and changed my attitude!
Niles: Oh? I-I'm not sure that that's quite how it works... People don't change THAT quickly.
Elise: Well I did! And everyone wants me to attend the war council meetings again!
Niles: Huh. Well, good on you, then. So, tell me. What happened?
Elise: I told them how I think we should approach our next battle. And they listened! They even praised my idea! It's all thanks to you, Niles!
Niles: I'm proud of you, Elise. That's wonderful. Though...perhaps also something of a shame.
Elise: Huh? Did you say something?
Niles: Oh, no. Nothing, my dear princess.
Elise: OK. Well, either way, I want you to know that I'm still gonna be relying on you! You're harsh, but you don't mince words. I need someone like that in my life. It's only because of your advice that I even made it this far, after all.
Niles: Then I will do my best to serve you, my lady...much as it may hurt sometimes.
Elise: Thanks! I'm counting on you!
S Support
Niles: You called for me?
Elise: Thanks for coming, Niles! I had something to tell you.
Niles: I see.
Elise: When the time is right, I think I should marry someone like you.
Niles: Oh? Any reason?
Elise: Yeah. I need a husband who won't mince words. Someone who knows how things really are. Who doesn't sugarcoat anything.
Niles: You seem to have a very high opinion of me.
Elise: I do! I love you, Niles! I love you a whole bunch! You've made me think and helped me to grow in ways I didn't think I could. And that's not all I like about ya.
Niles: Then, milady, there is only one thing left to do. We must marry each other.
Elise: Perfect! So then you'll take this?
Niles: A ring? My, you certainly don't waste any time, do you?
Elise: Nope! Not when it comes to you, my love!
Niles: Well, I suppose I must accept.
Elise: Because you love me too?
Niles: I...do. I never expected it. But I have grown to love you. You have an innocence about you that I have rarely seen in my life. I lost hope, once, because I bore witness to the worst evils the world has to offer. But you have rekindled that hope in my heart. I could not live without you.
Elise: O-oh wow. Really?
Niles: Really. And I vow I will do everything in my power to help you in all your endeavors. Though I suppose we'll start with making you a responsible, regal princess, eh?
Elise: Heehee. Exactamundo!
Niles: Now, let's go find Lord Leo and share the good news with him.
Elise: Ooh! I can't wait to see his face!

Arthur: Hello, Niles! I don't believe we've had the pleasure of conversing before.
Niles: That's correct. Which I've always found strange, since we were both stationed in the palace.
Arthur: Yes, well...your reputation precedes you. I suppose I never went out of my way to make your acquaintance...
Niles: Because of my past? How shallow of you. I suspected as much, however, which is why I never bothered to meet you, either. Nothing irritates me more than a smug little goody-goody. I'm talking about you, in case you didn't catch my drift.
Arthur: Oh dear. There's that sharp tongue you're known for. Look, I didn't mean to get off on the wrong foot like this...
Niles: Just another failure to add to your list, I suppose.
Arthur: Um...
Niles: Heh. You're already speechless? How cute. How about I say something REALLY offensive? Blow those cute ears right off your head?
Arthur: This is...unpleasant. I would like to end the conversation now.
Niles: Very well. I'll let you off the hook once. But be prepared to fend for yourself if you wish to speak with me again!
B Support
Arthur: I'm probably going to regret this, but... I have to ask you something, Niles.
Niles: Ooh. How brave of you to walk into the lion's den alone. What's up?
Arthur: I've heard that a large number of thieves in the area are coordinating a heist. Tell me straight—are you in on the plan?
Niles: Bwahaha! Wait, you're serious. Even if I were in on this plan, why the devil would I tell you?
Arthur: Because...justice? Look, I know that you were associated with some of these thieves in the past.
Niles: So what? That doesn't make me guilty.
Arthur: Well, not necessarily, I suppose...
Niles: You've given me an idea. Perhaps I will join up with this band of merry thieves...
Arthur: Oh, come on! You can't be serious!
Niles: Maybe I am! What are you going to do about it?
Arthur: This is suspicious...
Niles: Wait. You're actually ACTUALLY serious.
Arthur: Well, joking about a crime is a well-known defense technique. Because, if you joke about it, surely you wouldn't actually DO it, right? Oh ho! Thought you could outthink Arthur, did you, evildoer?
Niles: Your logic is breathtakingly stupid.
Arthur: Is it? Darn. I did just kind of make that up.
Niles: Yep. It was obvious.
Arthur: Well, you can make fun of me all you want. But if you're hiding something, you better tell me now.
Niles: See you later, Arthur.
(Niles leaves)
Arthur: Blast!
A Support
Arthur: Niles. I've come to apologize.
Niles: Oh?
Arthur: Yes. Despite a few unlucky coincidences, I was able to catch the thieves. After I dropped them off at the jail, I saw you sneaking in the back entrance. I thought you must have been coming to break them out... So, I stuck around to see what would happen. And I heard every word that you said to them. You were trying to help them turn their lives around.
Niles: Yes, well. Would this be an appropriate time to say "I told you so"?
Arthur: Yes, I believe it would. Anyway, I apologize for being prejudiced against you based on your past.
Niles: Let me tell you a story. I've never met my own parents. My father left before I was born, and my mother abandoned me as an infant. A gang of street thieves took me in as a child and became my family. One day, we boldly decided to rob the Nohrian royal palace. Of course we were caught, and in that moment, my supposed family betrayed me. The other thieves left me as a decoy and saved themselves.
Arthur: That's terrible!
Niles: That's when Lord Leo showed up. I knew that I didn't stand a chance against him, so I surrendered. I actually begged him to kill me. But, for some reason, he spared me. And ever since then, I've been by his side. My criminal life ended the day those thieves abandoned me. And when Lord Leo spared my life, I was reborn.
Arthur: Thank you for sharing that, Niles. I should have relied on Lord Leo's judgment and trusted you from the start. Now then! I'm off to tell everyone about what a great guy you are!
Niles: Um, that's really not necessary.
Arthur: Of course it is! It's not fair that you have a bad reputation. People need to know the truth about you! Justice must prevail! I will shout it from the rooftops. "Niles is A-OK in my book"! Ha ha! This is going to be great!
Niles: Can we go back to being enemies?

Effie: SIT DOWN, YOU CREEP!
Niles: O-ho! Where is this fit of passion coming from?
Effie: I hear you've been teaching filthy words to Lady Elise!
Niles: ...Not true. Why would I waste time doing that?
Effie: Don't you even think about lying to me! I can tell. I've heard Lady Elise say some things I will not repeat—things I have heard from you!
Niles: Really?! How fascinating. Do you have any examples?
Effie: Yesterday, she invited me to her "secret lair" and offered me some "saucy snacks." When I told her I must decline, she said, "Why are you always such a tease?" It's obvious where this is coming from... YOU!
Niles: It's sort of adorable when you think about it... Wouldn't you say?
Effie: It's absolutely appalling! You will not repeat dirty language in front of Lady Elise again!
Niles: Oh, really?!
Effie: ...OH, REALLY. You do that again, and this happens.
Niles: I'm sorry. Did you just crush an apple with your bare hand? It sort of looked like—
Effie: Keep your filthy tongue away from Lady Elise, or next time, it will be your head!
B Support
Effie: Niles, I can't believe you! After all that, you still can't keep your word! Why don't you tilt your head a little to the left? It will make for a cleaner blow.
Niles: Wha? Effie...w-wait! There seems to be some confusion...
Effie: There's no confusion! You've been saying filthy things in front of Lady Elise again. I'm about to make applesauce!
Niles: Effie, STOP! Let's talk this over. Is it really so bad if Lady Elise sounds a bit like me?
Effie: Lady Elise is a member of the royal family. She's a princess of Nohr! She can't go around talking like a hoodlum! As her retainer and friend, I won't allow it!
Niles: Oh, I see. Now she's your friend...?
Effie: Don't even try to change the subject!
Niles: No, this is fascinating. Do you give her tasty, little presents on her birthday?
Effie: Of course! I always give Lady Elise a gift.
Niles: I see. ...And how do you know what to buy?
Effie: I ask her for hints.
Niles: Oh, so now it's a guessing game! ...And if she says, "Just get me anything"...?
Effie: Then I take it as my personal mission to do some research. I take stock of all of her possessions, noting favorite colors and such... I write down ideas every time we shop. What things did she linger over?
Niles: Oh...lingering? I like this.
Effie: We're getting really off track. What exactly are you up to?
Niles: Nothing... Nothing at all! I'm just leaving now. I'll be on my best behavior. Promise!

Effie: Niles! I can't believe the things you've been saying in front of Lady Elise! Did you forget everything we talked about?
Niles: Now, wait a minute, Effie! There's no need to jump down my throat! I was just helping Lady Elise with her little problem...
Effie: What problem?
Niles: Lady Elise needed help picking out a gift for Lord Leo's birthday. She asked for my help. I AM his retainer after all.
Effie: Oh. So you weren't teaching her naughty words then?
Niles: No. I was merely giving her advice. She picked up some of my phrases on her own. I've never paid attention to Lord Leo's interests, so Lady Elise and I talked often. That is, until you gave me a few ideas. They were most helpful. I'm in your debt.
Effie: Wow. I should apologize. I had no idea you had redeeming qualities. Niles, tilt your head this way.
Niles: What? I thought we agreed! There's no need to give me the apple treatment!
Effie: I'm going to give you a little peck.
Niles: WHAT?! Wouldn't a handshake be more appropriate?
Effie: Yes, it would. But the last time I shook a man's hand, I crushed it by accident.
Niles: How about we leave it at "Thanks." No crushed apples. No broken bones...
Effie: All right. Thank you, Niles. You're a more honorable man than I realized...
S Support
Effie: Niles, what's wrong? Is it Lady Elise again?
Niles: No. This isn't about her. This is about you and me. Effie, you have filled me with a burning desire—

Niles: Effie, wait! I'm not trying to offend you. Can't you see what I'm holding?
Effie: Niles, is that a...wedding ring? I thought you were teasing!
Niles: No. I've been fantasizing about this day for a while now... Trying to imagine what you've got under all of that armor...
Effie: A tunic! A very heavy tunic.
Niles: You KNOW that's not what I meant! I'm talking about under your clothes.
Effie: Niles, seriously?! You have the dirtiest mind! Can't you keep it clean long enough to propose?
Niles: Wow. You're the one thinking naughty thoughts! I was talking about your heart.
Effie: Oh...
Niles: You've got that tricksy, little heart buried beneath a lot of armor. Even now, I have no idea how you feel about me!
Effie: ...Well, I can't believe I'm saying this, but Niles, give me that ring! I love you. ...But you better be on your best behavior! One misstep, and your brain is mush!
Niles: Well, well, don't you have a way with words? I'll do my best not to be crushed!

Odin: Do tell, my umbral friend!
Niles: Our army is thinking of developing some new weapons. They need these weapons named.
Odin: Weapons?! Named?! Those that you hold?! What a perfect task for me—to anoint those with my mystic tongue!
Niles: Before you start drooling all over them, you need to know one more thing. They're calling for name possibilities from everyone in camp. Not just us. As Lord Leo's retainers, you and I must contribute our ideas.
Odin: Hmpf. I'm not used to auditioning with amateurs. But I'll do my best. Feel free to bow out of this scene now. I've got this.
Niles: Fine by me.
Odin: Now, where to start? Ooh, that sword looks like it's begging for the Odin treatment. It should be a strong name. Hmm. Maelstrom, perhaps? No, that doesn't sound half as fierce as this blade demands. I'll put it aside for now. What's next? Ah, a powerful staff, white and streaked with red. The Scarlet...something. No, that's crummy too. How about...?
Niles: How about you wrap this up, Odin? We don't have forever.
B Support
Odin: NILES! How DARE you?!
Niles: Sorry, I didn't quite catch that. Maybe shout it...directly into my ear?
Odin: Oh, you heard me, traitor. You didn't wait for me to name those weapons. You submitted your own—and your names are just plain bad. Why, every one of them is charmless, rigid, and stiff! Was this some sort of joke?
Niles: One of us had to do something, or we'd look like fools.
Odin: What?!
Niles: You were at risk of missing the deadline. We represent Lord Leo here. That would have made him look bad. So I turned in some names. Crisis averted.
Odin: You know nothing of naming. It's FINE to be late...if the names are perfect. It's you who've made Lord Leo look like a chump.
Niles: You were going to blast past that deadline as if it was years away. And, just like always, you'd come up with names that were nonsense.
Odin: Excuse me? But your names are the very stuff of which senses are made non! Lord Leo will be sorely displeased.
Niles: What a big talker you are, Odin. Pretty suspicious, given that you're a man with no past.
Odin: Oh? Tried to dig up a little dirt on your friend Odin, eh?
Niles: When a man like you shows up to serve Lord Leo—of course I do. I look into the past of anyone and everyone who comes into his life. And I found...nothing.
Odin: And our conversation is...over.
A Support
Odin: I have to apologize for how rude I was to you the other day, Niles.
Niles: But, Odin—
Odin: Please, no. Not a word of apology from you. I won't have it. Besides, you don't know how right you were, submitting your weapon names. They're being seriously considered for the final choices.
Niles: Oh, really?
Odin: What's more, everyone is saying how un-Odinish our names are. Hard to believe it, but they mean that as a compliment. Everything you said was true—I would have been late, and with names they'd hate. So, we haven't brought shame on Lord Leo's name at all.
Niles: Look, I really just wrote down the first words that came to mind. But I do need to apologize. Not for that. I shouldn't have looked into your past.
Odin: You were just doing your duty by Lord Leo. That you didn't find any past at all must have alarmed you. But I swear, there's nothing in my... past...that would harm Lord Leo.
Niles: Say no more. If Lord Leo put his trust in you, so should I. Even if you had a dark past, it couldn't be more troubling than mine.
Odin: What matters is that you care deeply for Lord Leo.
Niles: That I do. As do you.
Odin: In which case, we must band together better than we have been. You and I often squabble. We shouldn't.
Niles: I agree. Let us put away any troubles and embrace each other as friends.
Odin: Done deal. Just one more thing.
Niles: Yes?
Odin: I've heard the camp is going to be naming some new armor next. Help me with my names. People love the ol' Niles touch!
Niles: Nope. You're on your own.

Subaki: Ahaha! I'd like to see you try it. Actually...go right ahead. I bet it won't even hurt.
Niles: Oh? Let's take that a step further. How about a duel to the death, tonight at midnight?
Subaki: *yawn* Nah, I need to get my sleep. Unlike you, I have things to do in the morning.

Subaki: Heh.
Niles: So...you sensed your imminent demise...
Subaki: You were going to literally stab me in the back, weren't you?
Niles: Yes. But it's not like I didn't warn you. It wouldn't have been a lethal blow. I just wanted to see your face distorted with pain.
Subaki: What's wrong with you?
Niles: Nothing at all! What's wrong with you?
Subaki: Really? Nothing? I thought you had some terrible childhood or something.
Niles: Eh. Some things happened. But that's all in the past. I should be asking you the same question. Did mommy and daddy not pay enough attention to you? Is that why you're so desperate for constant approval?
Subaki: I don't remember.
Niles: Oh, please. Surely you remember something. Childhood trauma is pretty common.
Subaki: I'm sure my childhood was perfect.
Niles: See? That face you made right then. I just want to destroy it.

Subaki: That would never happen.
Niles: You see? You will fail at something, eventually. It's best to be prepared.
Subaki: I suppose you're right. I...I do have a hard time letting go of the tiniest bit of control...

Subaki: Now this is unheard of! Niles, showing concern for another human?
Niles: You got me. Sometimes I care.
Subaki: You know, I think I'm a bit jealous of you.
Niles: Really? How so?
Subaki: Because you just do what you want, without caring what others think. I wish I could live like that. But I live with the weight of perfection on my shoulders.

Niles: But it can't hurt, can it? Give it a try.
Subaki: Very well. Here you go. *whew* ... Wow... I actually feel lighter, somehow...

Niles: I don't get it.
Setsuna: What don't you get?
Niles: I don't get why Princess Hinoka took you of all people on as a retainer.
Setsuna: Ahhh, one of life's great mysteries...
Niles: You don't know, either?
Setsuna: Nah. Lady Hinoka works in strange ways, sometimes.
Niles: I feel bad for her, with you as a retainer... How did you start serving the royal family, anyway?
Setsuna: Oh, my family is an important one in Hoshido, so...it just kind of happened...
Niles: So, your privilege is what got you such an esteemed position? I see... That is perhaps the most infuriating answer you could have given.
Setsuna: Is it? I guess I could elaborate... I used to practice my archery every day in the castle. One day, Lady Hinoka saw me, and then she ordered me to serve her. I agreed, and here I am.
Niles: That makes a bit more sense—you are definitely a skilled archer. That must have heavily outweighed your... other attributes.
Setsuna: It wasn't until I'd been her retainer awhile that Lady Hinoka commented about me. Something about my listening skills. I believe it was a compliment. She's always giving me compliments.
Niles: Yeah, I bet she is.
Setsuna: It makes me so happy when she praises me. I love being her retainer…

Setsuna: La de da...
Niles: It's so strange...
Setsuna: Oh, Niles... What's strange?
Niles: I've never seen anyone who looked as content as you always seem to. Whenever I see someone looking happy, I just want to wipe that smile off their face.
Setsuna: That seems like an odd thing to want.
Niles: And yet, I don't feel that way when I see you smiling. I can't even picture how your face would look if you were in pain. Are you truly as happy as you look?
Setsuna: Oh, who can say? I know that I don't know, at least...
Niles: How do you not know if you're happy or not? That seems...impossible.
Setsuna: I've never really given it a lot of thought, to be honest. I usually just daydream whenever I try and think about stuff like that.
Niles: Interesting. That makes me a little bit envious of you, truth be told.
Setsuna: You should try doing it with me. Just let all your thoughts drip out of your head. Let anything that was bothering you just disappear.
Niles: I'd imagine it requires some special training or skill to become so at ease.
Setsuna: Training? No... It's really very easy to do.
Niles: It comes that naturally to you? That's kind of impressive...
Setsuna: Thank you. That's a nice thing to say.
Niles: I actually meant it as a compliment, too. What is going on with me?

Niles: Setsuna, what are your plans for your future?
Setsuna: My future? Well... I think I'll probably just keep daydreaming. It works for me. Hopefully Lady Hinoka will keep taking care of me while I do.
Niles: I see. That could prove quite difficult for you, couldn't it?
Setsuna: Difficult? How do you mean?
Niles: The world isn't a nice place. And things could always change with Lady Hinoka. It might be impossible for you to get by if you're always daydreaming...
Setsuna: But I'll have Lady Hinoka to help me...
Niles: Right now you do, but she is a princess. She won't always be able to help you out.
Setsuna: If that happens, I might have to think of some other plan, then...
Niles: I was thinking that, too. You'd be in trouble if you kept daydreaming like you do.
Setsuna: Oh, wait. My family is very rich. I'd be OK.
Niles: It's almost insulting how privileged you are.
Setsuna: It is? I don't understand...
Niles: Regardless, your family's money may not be enough. Money can easily run out.
Setsuna: You might be right. What can I do, though? I really like daydreaming...
Niles: Well, that's what I wanted to talk to you about. I had an idea... I thought of a way that you could keep daydreaming, no matter what.
Setsuna: OK...
Niles: If you and I were together, it would solve all of your problems. It would make me happy to look out for you.
Setsuna: I... I do not know what to say... No, I do. Yes, of course. I've actually daydreamed about this when we've talked before.
Niles: I was hoping you'd say something like that.
Setsuna: But...can I stay the way I am, even if we're together? I love daydreaming...
Niles: Of course. Like I said, I'll take care of you. The desire to sacrifice... That's the problem with being in love with you.
Setsuna: Niles, let's go lie in that field and daydream for days.
Niles: Yeah. But...just hours, OK? We may need to eat at some point.
Setsuna: Oh. Right.

Oboro: It's you…
Niles: Hey. If you're going to look like that, go stare at a wall or something.
Oboro: "Look like that"? What's that supposed to mean?
Niles: It means that nasty glare on your puss. You got some problem with me?
Oboro: ... Yeah. Not for anything you've done yet. But I can tell you're thinking about it. You've got this dark streak to you. It's not like you don't know what I'm talking about, right? If I ever gave you an opening, you'd seize the chance to jab me right in it.
Niles: Phew. Nothing gets by you, huh?
Oboro: I try to get along with everyone here. Even the Nohrians. But if you're going to be like that all the time, I won't bother.
Niles: And we wouldn't want that, right? Though now that I'm a little used to it... that gaze seems almost smoldering. It penetrates deep into my core, burning in a way that hurts so good…
Oboro: Quit messing around! I'm only working with you because Lord Takumi ordered it. As odious as it is, as much as I hate doing it, I have no choice. So why don't you make my life a little easier and meet me halfway?
Niles: Heh. You don't beat around the bush. I like that. Luckily for you, Lord Leo also wants us Nohrians to get along with Hoshido. So I'll play along. Excited yet?
Oboro: Ugh...stay calm...deep breaths…

Niles: Feel like exploring our relationship some more, Oboro? Plenty of depths to plumb there.
Oboro: Don't be gross, Niles.
Niles: What, you'd rather stay aloof?
Oboro: It's not an either-or thing. I do want to get to know you better. It's just…
Niles: Yeah, that look on your face says it all. The fire of hatred in your eyes... I'm drawn to it, like a moth.
Oboro: …
Niles: Guess it'll take more than a couple smooth lines to bridge the gulf between us, hm?
Oboro: Those "smooth lines" of yours are the whole reason I'm giving you the stink-eye!
Niles: What? All I did is offer to get closer to you.
Oboro: Phrasing!
Niles: OK. I read you. I'll dial it down a little around you.
Oboro: That's all I'm asking for.
Niles: Now that that's out of the way... I say we have some "us time" until there's not a single thing between us.
Oboro: …
Niles: ...Was that over the line?
Oboro: You're not even trying to make friends here, are you?
Niles: No, wait a minute. I am, really. Never mind that last thing. We're square now, right? Right...?
Oboro: Forget it. I already understand you better than I ever wanted to.
(Oboro leaves)
Niles: Hey, we were having a civil conversation! Why does it always end like this...?

Oboro: Afternoon, Niles.
Niles: …
Oboro: Uh...are you ignoring me?
Niles: ...*ahem*...
Oboro: I don't speak throat-clearing. If you have something to say, come out and say it. It's never stopped you before.
Niles: …
Oboro: OK! I see how it is! If you don't want to talk, that's fine by me!
Niles: No…
Oboro: I don't get it. We fight together well enough, don't we? You've saved me a few times. I've repaid the favor once or twice... You'd think we could behave like adults around each other, but no.
Niles: Wait...listen to me. I want to be friends with you too.
Oboro: Then why the silent treatment?!
Niles: Because every time I open my mouth, I say something that offends you.
Oboro: Yeah...I noticed.
Niles: I was never trying to—it just comes out that way. I try to make normal conversation, and it always sounds like shameless flirting. So I'm trying other things to get on your good side while keeping my mouth shut.
Oboro: So that's it... That explains why you kept totally silent that last time you saved me in battle.
Niles: Yep.
Oboro: All right, let's talk. We've already got some things in common, don't we?
Niles: You're sure...? I don't want to get misunderstood again.
Oboro: It's fine. Just as long as you keep the innuendo to a minimum, OK?
Niles: Sure, no problem. It'd bring me all kinds of pleasure!
Oboro: NILES.
Niles: W-was I doing it again?! Sorry!
Oboro: Heh heh. It's OK. I'll forgive the slipup just this once.

Niles: Oboro. I have a gift for you.
Oboro: What are these? Dress robes? Wait…
Niles: …
Oboro: I come from a family of clothes merchants, so I know full well what these robes mean. They're specifically for the bride in a Hoshidan wedding ceremony.
Niles: Yeah.
Oboro: Why are you giving me this? Is this your idea of a joke?
Niles: …
Oboro: Uh, Niles...?
Niles: Every time I open my mouth, I say something to annoy you. So I got you a gift that gets my point across without having to say anything.
Oboro: Then that IS what you meant. You really want me to marry you.
Niles: Yeah…
Oboro: I'm impressed that a Nohrian man would do his homework on our wedding customs. This is just the kind of thing I'd pick out for myself if I was going to marry... But it's not enough! It's clear enough what you mean by the gift. But dammit, Niles, can't you just be an adult and say the words?!
Niles: ...Yeah, you got me. Here goes, then.
Oboro: I’m listening…
Niles: Marry me, Oboro. I couldn't have any woman but you. I love every part of you, from the crown of your head to your smallest fingernail. I want to be by your side until I breathe my last and pass on.
Oboro: Niles... Thanks. Both for saying that, and for saying it without being gross.
Niles: It was hard, but I managed. But you haven't answered the question…
Oboro: It sounds strange to say, but I've felt an attraction to you too. Not at first, mind you. At first you just came off as a creep.
Niles: Oboro, come on…
Oboro: But you really tried to change for me, and I thought that was sweet. So yeah, let's try this. How does it go again? "Until death do we part"?
Niles: I'll vow it if you will.
