Link: ...Brady?... Didn't expect to see you up so late... or in the armory... alone...

Brady: Eh?... Ah, it's you, that green fella. Ain'tcha got better places to be?

Link: I'm doing my rounds through camp... I'm curious what you're doing here. Is there a reason you're holding that huge axe?

Brady: I-I... Whaddya think I'm doin?! I'm tryin' to get some practice in a' course! No harm in that, right?

Link: ...But it's past midnight.

Brady: S-So what?! I just... I don't like havin' a buncha cats watchin' me while I'm swingin' a weapon around, that's all! I prefer to have a little privacy, ya get me?

Link: Mmm... That makes sense... I'll let you get back to it, then. Goodnight, Brady.

Brady: Yeah, sleep well an' all that... Hopin' tha's the last time I'll be interrupted-

Link: Actually, before I go...

Brady: Aaagh... What now?

Link: Are you sure you should be training with that?... That's a silver axe, if you didn't know. That'll be hard for a beginner to use... and it looks like you're struggling to hold it correctly... You didn't injure yourself, did you?

Brady: Hell no, I didn't! The thing's just a bit hefty is all!

Link: ...

Brady: Knock it off with that face, will ya? Ya really think I'm full of it?

Link: ...

Brady: Gah! F-Fine! I... I might a' pulled my shoulder or somethin', all right? But it ain't nothin' serious, y'hear?!

Link: If you can't even lift that axe, then you aren't okay to keep using it.

Brady: So... what? Ya tellin' me to call it quits, then? Jus' like that? C'mon, I ain't that damn weak.

Link: You should take a break for the night at least... but if you won't budge, then I want you to use something at your level.

Brady: Got somethin' in mind?

Link: Here... Try this.

Brady: The hell ya tryin' to pull? You want me to use this puny thing?! Looks like it's for a little, punk kid!

Link: This is the first sword I ever used. It's extremely lightweight, and it'll be great for learning the basics.

Brady: Dammit... I ain't here to learn the basics, Link! I'm here to catch up to the rest a' ya. I need to start pullin' my weight, y'know?... I need some results! And whatever gets me those results fastest, that's the plan I'm goin' with.

Link: You won't get the results you want if you cut corners... If you injure yourself even more, you won't even be fit for battle in the first place.

Brady: Look, chum... We can holler at each other 'til we're all blue in the face, yeah? Ain't gonna change my mind, though. Now, I'm gonna get a few more swings in before I catch some z's.

Link: ...Fine.

Brady: One... Two... AUUUGH! W-What in the... My neck! Did I just break a bone or somethin'? How the hell did I already screw this up?!

Link: ...I saw it coming a mile away... but I couldn't do anything to stop it.

Brady: N-Never mind that! Link, uh... think ya could help a pal to his tent? I think I need a' lie down for a minute...

Link: Just... *sigh* Just stay there, and don't move. I'll be back with a vulnerary.

Link: ...Really, Brady? I figured you learned your lesson.

Brady: Tch! You again?! Look, I don't need your crap, all right? Shoulder's all healed, neck's right as rain, an' I'm usin' a bronze axe this time. Nothin' to nag me about, yeah?

Link: ...Why are you even bothering with this?

Brady: Kinda question is that? Ain't I already told ya? I don't contribute enough in this here army. I'm a liability. So I need a' catch up, even if I gotta give my blood, sweat n' tears to get me there.

Link: You're a priest, Brady... You contribute by healing us. You keep us alive.

Brady: If I could actually defend myself, you cats might not even need me around. The rest of you probably take more hits just tryin' to keep me outta harm's way.

Link: ...You know that's not true.

Brady: I wanna be out there on the front lines, man! I don't wanna just heal wounds, I wanna prevent them from happenin' right from the get-go!

Link: ...Are you really that dissatisfied with acting as a healer?... Even if you get stronger, you can't stop injuries from piling up in a war. We'll need healers no matter what.

Brady: And here's the kicker; I don't even make for a good priest.

Link: ...What could possibly make you say that?

Brady: 'Cause look at me! Link, I want ya to be straight with me... I got the ugliest mug ya ever seen, ain't that right?

Link: Well... I've seen a ReDead before, so... no.

Brady: Dunno what the heck ya talkin' about, but I've made my point. I'm as frightenin' as the fell dragon itself.

Link: ...Even if I were to agree with you... I don't see why any of that matters.

Brady: You ever try to heal a little girl, but she runs away from you 'cause your face scares her to hell n' back? That's why it matters... I ain't like my ma, all prim an' proper... I talk like a thug, and I look like one too.

Link: ...Are you good at healing, Brady?

Brady: Am I 'good' at it? Well, sure, I-

Link: Then forget about the rest. You have a role, and you're good at it... That's enough.

Brady: Easy for you to say. You're the 'Green Wonder'! You can do it all an' then some! Fillin' a role might be enough for some saps, but it ain't enough for me.

Link: ...Have I told you anything about my world before? The journey I went on?

Brady: Not much.

Link: Well... I was pretty much all alone... trying to find a way to save the land from catastrophe... but I did have one other ally that was always with me.

Brady: They must be pretty tough if they hung around you all day fightin' evil an' whatnot.

Link: You might think that... but she wasn't. She's a glowing, talking bug that fit in the palm of my hand. She could fly, but she had no way to defend herself and no way of attacking any foe we came across.

Brady: Musta been annoying, right? Havin' to keep an eye on someone else who can't even fight back?

Link: No, because she helped in other ways... She alerted me to enemy locations and gave me insight on how to defeat them... She kept me on track and gave me advice whenever I asked... As a kid who was exploring beyond my home for the first time, I desperately needed that advice, too.

Brady: Hmm... I can see what you're gettin' at.

Link: Without her, I'd have died a long time ago. I can say that with confidence... And without you, Brady, there are people in this world, as well as people in this army... who wouldn't be alive today... You do realize this, don't you?

Brady: Huh... Didn't expect you a' all people to get inspirational-like on me... Look here, pal; I'm gonna make like eggs and scramble. You've given me a lot to think about, I guess. I appreciate ya sayin' all that crap about me, but I need some time to... digest it all.

Brady: Cheese and peanuts... You hit pretty hard, you know that?

Link: ...Keep going?

Brady: Y-Yeah, I can take a few more!

Link: ...Hyaaat!

Brady: *groan* Feels like I can't block one of your strikes without my arms turnin' to jelly. It ain't like you're some muscle freak with a chiseled bod or nothin'... Whaddya got that I don't?

Link: A regular exercise routine... better reflexes... muscle memory... years of experience in combat...

Brady: Fine, fine, I get it! Wasn't a serious question, okay?

Link: So... you're really sure about this?... I still think you aren't appreciating how useful you already are.

Brady: See, I got lost in my thoughts for a while. What you said the other day got the gears upstairs turnin' a bit more than usual. I talked to Lucina 'bout it, too.

Link: And you still disagree?

Brady: Naw. You been right this whole time. I understand that now, even if I am stubborn as a damn mule.

Link: ...Why do you want me to practice with you, then?

Brady: Jus' 'cause I fill my role don't mean I can't get stronger, yeah? I'll still focus on healin' folks, but if I can throw hands when the situation calls for it? That'd make me one hell of an asset, am I right?

Link: ...All right, fair enough... I don't know if I'm the one who should be helping you with this, though... I'm not much of a teacher.

Brady: Oh yeah? Answer me this then; how many lives have you saved? I'm talkin' since the day you was born. I want an honest estimate.

Link: ...I'm not sure... Just by stopping the King of Evil, I suppose I've saved thousands of lives... Why?

Brady: Hah! See? 'Thousands'! At the end a' the day, that's what I'm fightin' for. I'm tryin' to save as many souls as possible. Who better to show me the ropes than the guy with the greatest track record?

Link: ...I still don't think that makes me a good teacher, but... okay. Whenever you have time, let me know... I'll help as best I can.

Brady: Thanks, pal. I really owe ya for this... But enough chit-chat, let's keep goin' with this defense trainin'. I'm ready!

Link: ...Hyaaah!

Brady: D-Dammit! I take one swing, an' I get sent stumblin' across the room. Hey, ya got an extra pair of those iron boots you can spare me? No one'll be pushin' me around, then!

Link: Is there a reason you keep using an axe when you practice?

Brady: Well, I figure I could be like one a' them war monks. Real devout fellas, but also brutal as all get-out.

Link: ...Sure you don't wanna try the Kokiri Sword?

Brady: I ain't usin' that dinky thing! I don't got the power to do any damage with a limp noodle like that. I need somethin' with some oomph, y'know?

Link: Brady, you also need something that you can use properly...


A/N:

It's been one year since I started this, so I felt like it'd be a good time to get back into it.

I'm slowly going through the previous chapters, (touching up grammar, making minor changes) and I hope to focus more on new chapters once I'm finished with that. I plan on doing Inigo's chapter next, but don't expect it right away. Thanks for reading.
