Katarina-Olivia Support Conversations

Olivia: Okay…so Robin asked for some charts in his tent…they are about yay-big or something like that…

Katarina: So we'll be fighting a force of mostly cavalrymen…If we equip our lance wielders with Beast Killers and pair them with fast units…

Olivia: I wonder why he asked me to find it…Maybe he's just be lazy. Or maybe he's being overworked! Oh, that would be so unfortunate! Perhaps I should dance for him…

Katarina: …but we should take into account that some of their soldiers maybe Great Knights…If they could absorb the blunt force of the Beast Killers, then the speed boost from the pairings would be moot, wouldn't it?

Olivia: Would he like it though? Robin always said he liked my dances…Oh…I'm getting nervous just thinking about it…

Katarina: Would it be better to pair the lancers with mages then? Certainly they'll be more effective against the Great Knights, but if my hypothesis turns out incorrect, I could be deploying them to their deaths…

Katarina & Olivia: Oh…just what should I—KEYAH! Ouchie…that really hurt…EEK! I'm so sorry!

Katarina: …

Olivia: …

Katarina & Olivia: Maybe I should go…Ugh…why do I keep doing this!

Olivia: Wait! You dropped this…

Katarina: …Oh…uh…thank you…

Olivia: …You're welcome…

Katarina & Olivia: …I should really go…KEYAH! Stop repeating me!

Olivia: Endless grief and sorrow. | Hearts slumbering again, | Stars frozen in their place: | Darkness envelopes the land.

Katarina: Hmm…I've heard of this song before…I wonder who is singing it…

Olivia: But in the spilling of blood, | a hope still glimmers dim.

Katarina: in a reflection in the water. | in a whisper in the wind.

Olivia: EEK!

Katarina: AHH!

Olivia: K-Katarina! W-what are you doing here…?

Katarina: …I was just looking for a place to clear my mind…is all…

Olivia: B-but this place is well hidden…I thought I was the only one who knew of its existence…

Katarina: This world…its very similar to my own. I used to come here when my work was beginning to take its toll on me.

Olivia: Oh. I forget that you are an Einherjar…You've seemed to settle in with us just fine.

Katarina: T-thank you…

Olivia: …

Katarina: …

Katarina & Olivia: So, where did you learn that song?

Olivia: Goodness! We need to stop reading each other's mind!

Katarina: Indeed. You first?

Olivia: N-no…you go first…I insist.

Katarina: But I want to know! Besides…I'm a bit…well…

Olivia: Shy? Me too…which is why you should really go first…

Katarina: I guess we are at an impasse huh?

Olivia: It seems that way.

Katarina & Olivia: Hmm…I have an idea!

Katarina: (How does this keep happening?)

Olivia: (Why do we keep reading the other's thoughts?)

Katarina: Should I go first?

Olivia: Uh huh.

Katarina: Okay…I was thinking maybe we could settle this with a game of Rock, Leaf, Blade?

Olivia: No way! I was just thinking that as well!

Katarina: You know what they say? Like minds think alike?

Olivia: Do they really say that where you come from?

Katarina: Uh huh! It's an old proverb.

Olivia: Huh? Is that a fact? I was wondering where it came from…

Katarina: Never mind that! Let's do this game!

Olivia: Okay!

Katarina & Olivia: 1…2…3…Go! Aww Leaf… 1…2…3…Go! Shoot! Blade 1…2…3…

Katarina: (If she is choosing to go sequential order, then the most logical result would be Rock…I should go Leaf…)

Olivia: (She might think I'll go Blade again…Well, I got a little surprise for her…)

Katarina & Olivia: Go! What the…Leaf again?!

Katarina: Olivia…you're here again?

Olivia: Yeah. This grove has a majestic kind of feeling to it…sort of.

Katarina: Hehe. That's exactly what I thought when I first came around here. I actually wasn't the one who found it.

Olivia: Oh really? Well, if you don't mind, could you tell me who found it first?

Katarina: It was my closest friend. He was always a fanatic for training. He always wanted to try his hardest so that he can protect and serve King Marth. I kind of respected that about him. His loyalty to his liege and his friends was unmatched by any one I've ever met.

Olivia: Hmm…That so reminds me of Robin! Well…except for the "fanatic for training" part.

Katarina: I can't help but make that comparison myself. Even the resemblance is uncanny. It's like staring at a ghost of the past.

Olivia: Even though you are one yourself?

Katarina: Ha ha! Right. It's still hard to believe…

Olivia: If you asked me before this war whether I would ever possibly meet an important figure of Ylissean history, I probably would stare at you with the weirdest look on my face.

Katarina: I can't imagine that from you. I'd see you flaring up a bright pink and running away from the room.

Olivia: Hey…

Katarina: Heh heh heh…So…would you tell me a bit about that song you were singing that night? The Galdr of Rebirth?

Olivia: Is that what it's called? My troupe had first taught me that song. I don't know…it really resonated with me.

Katarina: How so?

Olivia: Well…my dances reinvigorate people's spirits, or so I'm told at the very least. The lyrics to that song speak of returning life to desolation. Of…hope… I think that's why I like it so much.

Katarina: Yes…that is true.

Olivia: Wait…really?

Katarina: Yeah. According to old tales, there was a continent in a far off world that was home to two distinct races: Humans, and a race very similar to the Taguel that are in this army right now. They could not get along very well, and the humans used misinformation to lead themselves to burning down their homes.

Olivia: Really? That's kind of interesting.

Katarina: Yeah. But I'm speaking purely from the point of view of a legend. There's no telling what kind of misinformation seeped into the tale as the river of time flowed onwards.

Olivia: You're right…

Katarina: Of course, the world cannot truly maintain itself with such strife among the populace. Several years after the massacre, a small group of humans and the animal race came to their home and, after coming to a mutual agreement and understanding, resurrected it using the Galdr of Rebirth. Or, returned life from desolation.

Olivia: I had no idea that song had such an interesting backstory…

Katarina: It gets better. It was said that the Galdr had the power to return people lost in the depths of insanity to a serene state of mind. It was used on several key figures of that continent, both human and animal alike, regardless of the recipient's origin or what sins he or she committed during their period of instability.

Olivia: Oh my gosh, I didn't know that! There really is so much to everything than meets the eye, huh?

Katarina: …Yes. Just like you.

Olivia: Me?

Katarina: I didn't know that you could sing.

Olivia: I didn't know you could sing.

Katarina: That…that…was what helped me get through my troubled childhood. My sister and I used to sing to each other after…after everything was done.

Olivia: I'm…I'm sorry. I didn't mean to invade on your past. That was really bad of me, wasn't it?

Katarina: Olivia, you're too empathetic, aren't you? Maybe that's why you are such a gifted artist.

Olivia: Your words are too kind, Katarina. I don't deserve them.

Katarina: But you do! You are such an amazing person, Olivia! More amazing than I could be…

Olivia: But you have such a knack for tactics! Just like Robin! Robin even said that he thought of you as a worthy rival.

Katarina: …Truthfully, I never wanted to be a tactician…

Olivia: Huh? Why not?

Katarina: I actually wanted to form a duet with my sister. She was the closest person in my life, and I never ever wanted to leave her. I wanted to follow her, everywhere she'd go. She really liked singing…but we were caught too deep into our lives to truly make room for ourselves.

Olivia: But…you don't have to give up on your dreams!

Katarina: Nonsense. You know full and well that can't happen…

Olivia: Katarina…You're here. It doesn't matter if you aren't who you really are. You're still you in the end! You still have all your memories, and you know what you cherish! That's enough, right?

Katarina: …It's still hard…

Olivia: It doesn't have to be hard. I mean, you made friends with me, right?

Katarina: You're hopeless, though!

Olivia: That didn't stop you from reaching out to me, right? I mean, we wouldn't be this close if we didn't bump into each other that day, right?

Katarina: And we kept repeating our thoughts like we had the same mind?

Olivia: Yeah. And if you still have doubts, you could come here, to our grove. You could practice your singing and I could practice my dancing. We could do it together…like a duet!

Katarina: Yeah. That would be nice!

Olivia: Yeah! Hey, why don't you come and sing for one of my performances? I think that if you were there, you could definitely help me overcome my stage fright.

Katarina: I…I'd love that…
