Old Hubba: Ho ho! Look who's back! Er, I mean, right on time—as predicted!
Chrom: Yes, Old Hubba. We've come to do our part to save the Outrealms. We'll defeat these rogue Einherjar until they're weak enough for you to capture.
Old Hubba: Why, what an excellent summary of the story up until now! Well put, well put! Even better: I tricked one of the phantom armies into thinking they summoned you! It was easy! Their leader swallowed Hubba's bait—hook, line and sinker!
Chrom: An unfortunate metaphor, but good news nonetheless...
Before Battle Starts
Hector: We've received word from Eliwood. He made it through.
Lucia: Of course. Queen Elincia has said you will change the tide of battle. I want you to be in the best spirits possible.
Lissa: Well...it's my brother. He got mad at me again. He says I don't follow orders well.
Lucia: Your own brother?
Lissa: I know! Can you believe it? I'm out here fighting my butt off, and Chrom just tightens the leash. I'm a sister, not a terrier. Ugh...
Lucia: Ha ha. Poor thing. But I have a younger brother, too... So I understand a bit where Sir Chrom is coming from. He's just worried about you. That's all it is.
Lissa: ...He's not a control freak?
Lucia: Try to put yourself in his position... How would you feel about it?
Lissa: Hmm...I guess that's true. Thanks! I feel a lot better now!
Ike: Do you need something? You keep glancing this way.
Lon'qu: It's nothing.
Ike: Lazy eye, huh?
Lon'qu: ...I can tell you're a force to be reckoned with, so I was observing.
Ike: Really?
Lon'qu: The reason I throw myself into battle after battle is to get stronger. I've met few as strong as you. I could probably count them on one hand. Which means...your technique merits closer observation.
Ike: I see. Well, observe all you want, but won't you get distracted?
Lon'qu: It's you I'm interested in. Not the flies I swat down while I watch.
Ike: Ha! Fair enough.
Lon'qu: Just do what you do. ...If I could put in one request: take on someone strong.
Gaius: Well, you just seem far from the archetype, know what I mean? Most myrmidon chatter about 'cut you down' this or 'face my blade' that. Guess it's different in your world.
Zihark: Hmm...I don't think our world is so different, but Ike runs a tight ship.
Gaius: I see...
Zihark: You sound let down. Should I play up the 'cut you down' business, then?
Gaius: No, no! I like your kind of myrmidon. Trust me. I think we'll work together just fine.
Aversa: Oh! That stern expression... Then your army has some real men? Glad to see you're not all do-gooders fresh out of your diapers.
Ashnard: What do you want?
Aversa: Why don't we...get to know each other?
Ashnard: No.
Aversa: "No"?! And why not?
Ashnard: I don't care to. I don't need to "get to know" anyone.
Aversa: Hmph. A lone wolf now and until the end of time, is that it? You can't keep up that front fore—
Ashnard: I don't fight alone.
Aversa: Then who fights with you?
Ashnard: My servants.
Aversa: "Servants"? Ha! And where do you go about getting those?
Ashnard: I subjugate them. Power is this world's only true source of justice. Those without it are meant to be conquered and serve. If you would know me, then serve me or best me. There's no other way.
Aversa: Oh dear... I hate to say this, but you and I are just not meant to be.
Ashnard: Then kindly remove yourself from my presence.
Aversa: With pleasure!
Ashnard: Power is the only thing keeping this world from total chaos. Only a fool wouldn't see that...
Owain: Stand back, wench. The epic power of this clash might blow your face off.
Mist: Uh..."wench"? Me?
Owain: Indeed. But fear not. It is my destiny to save you and all wenches. Honor and glory pump through my every vein. They whisper to me: "Sic semper wenchicus"!
Mist: ..."And thus to all wenches"?
Owain: Now, feast your eyes as I unleash the ultimate of defenses on your behalf! SKYWARD...SHIELD!
Mist: Oh gods...I do need protection...
Owain: Ha! Have you fallen for me already? Was it the bulging muscles? The rapier wit?
Geoffrey: Thank you for coming to our aid, warrior from afar.
Gerome: I only fight here because my army does. Direct your thanks elsewhere.
Geoffrey: But your presence here has changed everything! We may yet carve out a new fate for ourselves!
Gerome: That simple, is it?
Geoffrey: ...Isn't it?
Gerome: I've seen more than a gory eyeful of what 'fate' has in store for my world. And I've seen the mangled corpses of those who thought to outrun it.
Geoffrey: You insult me, sir. I have lived no fairy tale, either. I was left kingdomless, masterless—but I fought through that destruction. I believe I can face my fate head-on and dash it aside!
Gerome: Face it head-on?
Geoffrey: That's right. Don't outrun it. Face it! Fight it! Find the event, the person, who will make the difference. For me, it was one mercenary leader. Haven't you ever felt it before? 'This moment will change everything.'
Gerome: Perhaps I have...
Geoffrey: All right. Then you should understand what I meant. You've given us a chance to shape things differently.
Gerome: I see... Then let us hope it goes as you say.
Geoffrey: It will!

Avatar (Male) vs Roy
Roy: This land is ours! Return to your own world, invader!
Avatar: Not until peace is restored. I don't care how strong you look. I must prevail!
Nah: Cease your struggles! You cannot triumph over me!
Shanna: But the laws of Ilia say I must try, and that's more than enough for me!

Closing Dialogue
Battle End
If Elincia survived
Chrom: That should be the last of our adversaries.
Elincia: So it seems. I thank you, sir.
Chrom: It had to be done, for the good of all... Summon us again, if the need arises.
Elincia: Oh! Wait, sir... I found this lying on the battlefield.
Chrom: A card? Hmm... "Eirika, Restoration Queen." She's the queen from the old Magvelian tales, isn't she?
Elincia: ...Sir, I must confess that I have no idea what you are talking about. But if the card will serve you, it is yours. I entrust it to your tactician.
If Elincia was defeated
Chrom: That seems like the last of our adversaries.
Avatar: Indeed. But you remember how real peace is achieved in these Outrealms...
Chrom: Step by step, one "peace" at a time? Hmph...Yes, I suppose we still have a battle or two to truly finish the fight, eh?
Avatar: Chrom, something else—I found this in one of the chambers we cleared.
Chrom: A card? Hmm... "Eirika, Restoration Queen." She's the queen from the old Magvelian tales. I wonder what she has to say...
Eirika Recruitment
Eirika: I have lost. You fight well, tactician. Just say the word, and I promise to stay at your side, always. ...What? No, that's not a proposal! Ugh, this stupid dress... It's all this bouquet's fault! I shouldn't have caught it. It just invites misunderstanding. Here, I'll give it to you. Oh, I must look a fool...
Textbox: Does Eirika look a fool?
Eirika: [if 'Yes' is chosen] What do you mean, "sort of"?! Here, you wear it! Then we'll see what you say.
Eirika: [if 'No' is chosen] Well...thank you. That's kind of you to say. To be honest, I am rather fond of this gown, despite what I said... Perhaps some of your ladies would like to try it on later?
Eirika: Oh, how rude of me. I haven't even introduced myself. ...What? You say you already know who I am? ..."Naive"?! Wh-who told you that? ...Well, I suppose it might by partly true. I just can't bring myself to doubt family or friends. Doubt leads to distrust, and that just feels wrong to me. If that's what you call "naive," then I suppose that's how I'll stay. And what of you, tactician? Say a friend of yours came to you seeking help... But he was no longer the person you knew—he was trying to trick you... Would you still give him the benefit of the doubt?
Textbox: Would you trust a friend who'd changed?
Eirika: [if 'Yes' is chosen] Y-you would? But you mustn't! You'll only get duped and deceived. ...At least that's what everyone tries to tell me. Still, it's nice to meet a man/woman as trusting as me... Might we talk a while longer? I'd like to know more about you...
Eirika: [if 'No' is chosen] You wouldn't?! I mean...of course you wouldn't... That's all right. I appreciate your honesty. ...Avatar. You're a tactician. You're clever, and wise... Do you think you can teach me how to be less easily deceived? I promise to be an attentive pupil!
