  1. C-support
  2. Yarne: Hmm… alright, the left wing looks okay, but what about the right?
  3. Cordelia: [surprised] Yarne? What are you doing with Aurora?
  4. Yarne: Oh, the usual! Checking her for any sign of wing weakness, making sure all her hooves are properly shoed, that kind of thing!
  5. Cordelia: That’s very considerate of you, Yarne.
  6. Cordelia: [smile] I didn’t pick you for a horseman.
  7. Yarne: I’m nothing of the sort! Way too many accidents occur on horseback.
  8. Yarne: I just figure that if you absolutely have to ride this thing, you may as well be safe.
  9. Cordelia: [confused] …Thank you?
  10. Yarne: One in six pegasus knights fall from their mounts at some point! I’m not letting my mother become a statistic!
  11. Cordelia: [sweat] Well, I’d think that would more stem from being shot down than any fault with the pegasus, but…
  12. Yarne: …do you really HAVE to put your life in this thing’s hands?
  13. Cordelia: [frown] ‘This thing’ has a name, Yarne.
  14. [pegasus SFX]
  15. Cordelia: And you’re not exactly endearing yourself to her.
  16. Yarne: [frown] Well, I’m not endeared to her, either.
  17. Yarne: As if normal horses aren’t dangerous enough, she had to go and grow wings.
  18. [pegasus SFX]
  19. Cordelia: [sweat] Yarne, I think we should probably continue this somewhere else.
  20. Yarne: It’s fine, I was just about to head off and check the tack anyway.
  21. Yarne: [frown] I’ve got my eye on you, pegasus.
  22. [Yarne leaves]
  23. Cordelia: …What a strange boy.

  25. B-support
  26. Yarne: Mother! I’ve got something for you!
  27. Cordelia: [smile] Good morning, Yarne. What-
  28. Cordelia: [confsued] …What?
  29. Yarne: These are crash pads. They’ll cushion your bones from impact.
  30. Yarne: This helmet is specially forged to absorb shock without making your ears ring.
  31. Yarne: If you insist on fighting, I can’t stop you! But I can at least make sure you’re safe!
  32. Cordelia: [confused] …Have I done something to make you think I’m in danger?
  33. Yarne: No, but accidents happen!
  34. Yarne: If you die, I’ll never be born! And then where will the taguel be?
  35. Cordelia: [frown] …I see. Try having some faith in me.
  36. Yarne: It’s not you I don’t have faith in, it’s Aurora!
  37. Cordelia: I suppose I should be pleased you’re at least using her name.
  38. Yarne: I’ve seen how high you two soar! If you fell, you’d die!
  39. Yarne: How can I trust both our lives in the hands of- of something that doesn’t even have hands?!
  40. Cordelia: We’ve done quite well so far.
  41. Cordelia: [eyes closed] Listen, Yarne, I know you mean well. (I think.) But this armour of yours will slow Aurora down and make me a target.
  42. Cordelia: I’d rather you focus on protecting yourself than fretting about me.
  43. Yarne: But-
  44. Cordelia: [frown, closed eyes] Do you think me incompetent? Truly?
  45. Yarne: No! Growing up, I always heard you were the best pegasus knight Ylisse had ever seen – and I’d believe it!
  46. Yarne: It’s incredible watching you flit around in the sky knocking down enemies left and right.
  47. Yarne: [sad] But- you’re my mother, and… I’m worried about you.
  48. Cordelia: [smile] …Thank you, Yarne.
  49. Cordelia: I know what might set your heart at rest. Am I right in guessing you haven’t seen pegasus knights training before?
  50. Yarne: No, I haven’t.
  51. Cordelia: Sumia and I are tutoring a group of new recruits next week.
  52. Cordelia: [smile] Come along. Please. I think you’ll find it instructive.
  53. Yarne: [unsure] If you say so, Mother…
  54.  
  55. A-support
  56. Yarne: [surprised] Whoa, that was incredible!
  57. Yarne: I didn’t think humans could handle a fall like that, but you had all those recruits walking away without a scratch!
  58. Cordelia: [smile] They’ve already been training about how to safely land for weeks.
  59. Yarne: I didn’t realise how much you practiced stuff like that…
  60. Cordelia: [smile] Honestly, most of my training was just learning to fall in new and exciting ways.
  61. Cordelia: I know it might seem risky, flying around up there, but I promise we take every precaution.
  62. Yarne: [eyes closed] But… sometimes there are things no-one can walk away from.
  63. Cordelia: [sad] …Yes.
  64. Cordelia: The women who trained me like this… they all died.
  65. Yarne: [surprised] Mother…
  66. Cordelia: There was an ambush. We desperately needed to warn the Exalt. I went on ahead as a messenger, and they…
  67. Cordelia: [injured] They gave their lives for me.
  68. Cordelia: It was nothing to do with their flying. No amount of skill could’ve saved them.
  69. Cordelia: [sad] It’s just war.
  70. Cordelia: I’m guessing the me in the future left you in a similar way.
  71. Yarne: [surprised] …Yeah.
  72. Yarne: [sad] We never found out for sure what happened. You fought hard to protect everyone, but one day… you didn’t come home.
  73. Yarne: They found Aurora’s body, broken, like she’d fallen. You were trapped underneath with a broken leg, but you fought them off until…
  74. Yarne: [upset] ‘Til you couldn’t.
  75. Cordelia: [sad] Oh, Yarne…
  76. Cordelia: I’m so sorry. Shh…
