Marth & Xander

Marth: What are you doing, Prince Xander? The fight's barely finished, and you're already neck-deep in paper

Xander: Yes, well, I record and make notes on my performance after every battle As Nohrian royalty, I must always be trying to improve myself.

Marth: I can say without a doubt your battle performance requires no improvement In fact, everything you've done is intimidating I admire the way you handle yourself, on and off the battlefield.

Xander: I appreciate that, but in my opinion,.I'm still not good enough. When I think of how my father was in his prime... Well, I pale in comparison.

Marth: I can't imagine someone more imposing than you.

Xander: I didn't have to imagine it. He was a powerful king and an inspiring leader He always stood on the front line in battle, ready to fight for his kingdom.

Marth: I'm envious that you have a father to.look up to, especially one like that.

Xander: Yes, well... that was, um, a long time ago.

Marth: Did I say something wrong?

Xander: No, no. Why don't you tell me about your father, Prince Marth? If he's anything like you, he must be a splendid king.

Marth: Years ago he sought to aid an allied kingdom and never returned.

Xander: So your father is... I had no idea. My apologies for my insensitivity.

Marth: Don't worry, there's no way you could have known.

Xander: Though it seems my assumptions were correct He was a great hero, To give one's own life in the name of the people is the mark of a true king. No doubt his strength and honor live on in you I see how you fight for your friends and for the people of Aytolis Your father would be proud.

Marth: Thank you I hope that's the case. I often wonder what my father would think of me now.

Xander: Leadership comes very naturally to you. I on the other hand, have to work at it.

Marth: I think you're underestimating yourself Prince Xander The way you described King Garon is exactly how I'd describe you.

Xander: Hah... That's kind of you to say.

Marth: It's also the truth You know, it's nice to have someone else to talk to about the life of a prince I believe we could learn a lot from one another Like how not to be so hard on ourselves.

Xander(?):I suppose spending some more time together wouldn't be a bad idea Perhaps we'll both be better princes as a result!
