: Um... Th-Thank you for saving me! Do... Do you remember me? I am Florina... servant of House Caelin... ...I said it! I... I did say it, didn’t I! Huey, I said it! Now, if I can just... ...I can say it to Lord Hector’s face now, right? C’mon, Florina! Chin up! Take a deep breath... You have to speak loudly, remember! ...J-Just once more... For practice... Breathe deep... Lord Hector!
: Yeah?
: Ack!
: Say, aren’t you one of Lyn’s...
: Aaah! S-Sorry! I beg your p-pardon!
: What was that all about? Am I some kind of monster? Huh.

A Support

: ... Phew...

???: Argh! Hey! Lemme go, you darn flapping horse!

: Ah!
: Yeah, you! You want to play rough? Fine! I’ll show you rough!
: Huey!
: Eh?
: Um, ahh... Did this, um... Did my Pegasus... do something wrong?
: This Pegasus is yours? Do wrong? He just grabbed my arm in his teeth and dragged me off! Wouldn’t let go, either! I couldn’t do anything in front of Eliwood and the others... But now he’s mine! I’ll show him who’s boss!
: No! Don’t hurt Huey! Please... If you must punish someone, punish me!
: Heh, so you can talk. And loud at that.
: ...What?
: You were always hanging around like you were going to say something... But whenever I went to ask you what it was, you’d run off! When I asked Lyn what to do... She said a big lunk like me should stay away from her friend! Can you believe it? What’s a guy supposed to do? So, tell me what you wanted to say. I’m all ears!
: Yes... yes... I, well... When I first...first met you... Y-You saved me, and... Um... Thank you, very much. ... ...I-I said it! I finally said it! Huey!
: I...saved you? Me, saving you?
: Ye... Um, yes. Um... In Laus...my Pegasus... He fell, and...Um...
: Huh. Don’t remember.
: Ah...! I...I see...um... Sorry, I... ...I...
: Hah! I’m just joking with you. ‘Course I remember that!
: Ah... ?
: How could I forget you and that witless winged horse falling on top of me?
: Ah...y-yes.
: You know... I’d better keep an eye on you. Don’t leave my side on the battlefield. Gotta keep you from getting into trouble.
: Lord Hector... ...Ung...sniff...
: Tsk. Don’t be crying. You know I can’t stand sniffling...

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

: Ayaa!
: Florina!? What is it? I heard a scream...
: I'm sorry! A bee was chasing me-- I couldn't help it!
: Really... You gave me quite a scare! But...that reminds me of that time. Remember, Florina? When we first met...
: Oh, not that...
: 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...
: W-Well, what was I supposed to do? All those bees came flying out at me! I was so frightened...
: I remember you were crying because you couldn't get down. I couldn't believe that you, a little girl, were a pegasus knight!
: Please, don't tell that story any more, it's so embarrassing... You know how dishonorable it is to fall from your pegasus.
: Hee hee, don't worry, I won't tell a soul. It will always be our little secret, all right?
: All right, but that better be a promise!
: Those were the days, though! You and me, riding on the plains, the wind blowing across the grass....
: Lady Lyndis?

A Support

: Phew...
: Lady Lyndis? Are...Are you all right?
: Ah, Florina.
: Is something the matter? Might...I be of some help?
: ...Thanks. But it's really nothing. It can't be fixed, anyway.
: ...Is it the plains?
: What?
: 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.
: 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...
: You shouldn't force yourself, though. I'm sure that Lord Hausen would understand... Living on the plains just seems right for you, Lyn.
: Florina... Hmm, guess what? You stopped calling me "Lyndis"... And you're speaking much more frankly now.
: Ah! I-I apologize! I'm such a scatterbrain, I...
: 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.
: Lyndis...Lyn... I...I'm sorry. I had no idea you felt that way...
: 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.
: Yes. That would be nice. Let's stick together, no matter what happens. Now...and always.

: Umm... Serra?
: Wha--! Florina! It’s been a while, how are you?
: Um, fine. Say, I... Serra, can I ask you something?
: What?
: How can I... become more like you?
: Like me? Well... Do you mean my breathtaking beauty? Or my impeccable fashion sense? Or do you mean...
: Um... Not that stuff... I mean...your personality...
: I’m sorry?
: When there are men nearby, I get scared, even if they’re on our side. It...makes me somewhat useless in battle at times.
: Hmmm... I see. Yes, leave it to me, Florina! If you just do everything I say, then you’ll be like me in no time!

B Support

: You know, I’ve been thinking... If you have trouble around guys... Maybe it’s just because you’re shy... See, you’re even a little reserved when talking to other women...
: Y-Yes... I am.
: Then you just need to have more confidence! No matter who you’re with, just think of yourself as being better than them! That’ll do it!
: I can’t think of them...as equals?
: No, no, not at all! Think of them as lowly little bugs if you can.
: As...as bugs?
: Look, your shyness is pretty deeply ingrained, right? Then you’ll have to take drastic measures! Stand up straight! Push out that chest! Raise that chin! Look me in the eye! No! I’m a bug, remember! Look at me with disgust!
: Err, umm... Stand up...straight. Puff out... Like this?
: No! No! No! More defiant! And your legs! Take a wider stance! Yeah! That’s better!
: ...Um... I feel weird...
: The eyes! Don’t forget! Raise your chin! More disdain!
: ...My...neck... ...hurts...

A Support

: How goes it, Florina? Have you been practicing what I showed you?
: Umm, I’m sorry... Maybe I just... can’t do it...
: Hmm... Maybe not... I guess not everyone can be like me... You know, this is a secret, but I’ll go ahead and tell you... I am actually a noblewoman of Etruria.
: R-Really?
: Yeah, I haven’t told anyone, but I think they suspect as much. I mean, breeding confers... a certain grace and elegance. Don’t I just exude a certain air of total superiority?
: Well, umm... I guess... You kind of are like a... a princess.
: Oh, So you think so, too? I knew you would, Florina!
: Yes, I... I’ve always thought you were... different from other people...
: Yeah! Yeah!
: You’re always bouncing around... Popping up and just... Just saying whatever you want...
: Wait, wait, wait! Now, which one of those makes me seem like a princess?
: I really did want to be more like you... So I mustered my courage and approached you... I’m glad I did. We should stay friends...
: Aww...Florina!
