- Xander: You’re looking very serious this morning, starlight.
- Ophelia: I have an important question!
- Ophelia: [wink] When did you know that you were a chosen one? What did that exact moment feel like?
- Xander: [sweat] …’Chosen’ in what sense, exactly?
- Xander: By your father? Well, I was a bit overwhelmed at first, but-
- Ophelia: No, no! Chosen by destiny! By fate!
- Xander: [sweat] By Siegfried?
- Xander: Well… I was surprised. Siegfried hadn’t called to anyone in some time.
- Xander: [frown] It’s a great honour to be chosen to wield it. I’ve devoted my life to trying to live up to that honour.
- Ophelia: [smile] And did you just know? Or did the chosen-ness take a while to sink in?
- Xander: [sweat] I… suppose I knew? The sword lit up. It was quite a spectacle.
- Ophelia: Can you re-enact it?
- Xander: [sweat] Er…
- Ophelia: Oh, hang on, we’ll need some props – maybe a stage?
- Xander: [sweat] That’s not really-
- Ophelia: [smile] You’re so humble, Father! Just what I’d expect from a chosen one!
- [Ophelia leaves]
- Xander: [frown] ‘Chosen one’?
- B-support
- Ophelia: Wisps of twilight, heed my call! Bloodmist attack!
- Xander: [smile] My. That one was particularly poetic.
- Ophelia: So, Father, when can I see some of your special Siegfried attacks?
- Xander: [sweat] I’m afraid my theatrical prowess doesn’t come close to yours.
- Ophelia: But you look so cool on the battlefield! Your sword shoots FIRE!
- Ophelia: Doesn’t that make you want to yell “Flaming Justice Strike!” or something of the sort?
- Xander: [sweat] Speaking is usually the last thing on my mind in battle.
- Ophelia: [smile] Well, I suppose your stoic demeanour is part of your appeal.
- Ophelia: So, what’s it like, being a chosen one? You must see the world differently!
- Xander: [sweat] Being royalty is a great deal of pressure. You’ll come to understand, as you spend more time at court.
- Xander: Your actions are heavily scrutinised, and you must think always in your people’s best interests.
- Ophelia: [sweat] I don’t mean being royalty! Anyone can be royalty!
- Xander: That’s not really how it-
- Ophelia: I mean being a chosen one! Blessed by fate! A hero, struggling against adversity!
- Xander: …Wielding Siegfried?
- Ophelia: No! Not Siegfried, not being royalty, but you! Your inherent chosenness that would shine through even if you were a lowly pauper!
- Xander: [sweat] I’m sorry, starlight. You’ve lost me.
- Ophelia: Well- you’d still be a chosen one even if you’d been born a commoner and never wielded Siegfried, right?
- Xander: …No?
- Ophelia: [upset] N-nonsense! Of course you would be!
- Ophelia: Father, you mustn’t think so ill of yourself!
- Ophelia: [determined] Your chosenly credentials are unrivalled, crown or no crown!
- Xander: [sweat] …If you say so, starlight.
- A-support
- Ophelia: Thank you for joining me today, Father!
- Xander: Of course, starlight. For a matter as important as your intended marriage partner-
- Ophelia: [wink] Oh, no, that was a cunning deception! I have something MUCH more important to talk to you about!
- Ophelia: I give you my 32-part presentation on Why Father Is A Chosen One!
- Xander: [sweat, frown] …What?
- Ophelia: Ahem. Part one: yours and Papa’s romance!
- Xander: [frown, sweat] (It’s even illustrated…)
- Ophelia: Your illustrious and fated meeting could only be the product of the goddess of destiny…
- [scene transition]
- Ophelia: …and that concludes Part Four: Your amazing feats in battle!
- Xander: [blush, sweat] …Why did you go to all this trouble, starlight?
- Xander: This must’ve taken hours.
- Ophelia: Because you’re a chosen one, of course! And while there’s something very heroic about a chosen one who doesn’t know he’s a chosen one…
- Ophelia: [wink] You should know how special you are!
- Xander: [smile, closed eyes] What did I ever do to deserve such a kind daughter?
- Ophelia: I actually have a whole section on that!
- Xander: [sweat, blush] So you do.
