Script

Inn dialogue

Pyra

Rex! Let's go visit the grave!

Rex

But, we only just went... Is there something special you wanted to do there?

Pyra

I just had something that I wanted to ask your parents about.
We didn't get much time before, so I want to talk to them properly this time, y'know?

Corinne

Oh she's got a good attitude, that one.
Make sure you take good care of her, Rex!

Rex

Uh... Yeah...I will.

Heart-to-Heart

Pyra

...

Rex

Well, Pyra? Did you manage to talk to them?

Pyra

I did. We had a pleasant chat.

Rex

What did you talk about?

Pyra

Everything that's happened since I met you.
And I told them not to worry because I'm going to do everything in my power to look after you.

Rex

I'm sorry, what? I can look after myself, thank you very much.

Pyra

I think not.
If you go off on your own, you'll just get yourself into trouble.

Gramps

Hohoho! Already bickering like you're a married couple, eh?

Rex

Hey! Gramps!

Pyra

C-couple?! But really, I didn't mean to...

Gramps

Ahahaha! It was just a joke.
Besides, you have to have that sort of mettle to deal with Rex.

Pyra

Come on, Azurda, cut it out!

Rex

Anyhow, we've done what we have to here, right? Time we should be getting back.

Pyra

Oh, we're leaving already? Can't we talk for a little more?

Rex

We can do that when we get back, can't we?

Pyra

That's true, but the two of us rarely get the opportunity to talk alone like this.

Rex

I'm not sure you can say "alone" when we've got Gramps tagging along...

Gramps

Eh? This old fogey getting in the way? You want me to shove off?

Pyra

No one's telling you to shove off, Azurda. Stop being such a child!

Gramps

Hohoho! Youth is a beautiful thing.

Rex

All right, what was it you wanted to talk about?

Pyra

What should I ask?

Pyra

Do you miss your mom and dad?

Trust +200

Rex

Hmm...I don't really know. What makes you ask?

Pyra

Well, I'm a Blade, so I don't really know much about parents. I was wondering what it's like to have them.

Rex

Hmm... I'm not sure how to explain it.
All I know about my parents is what Gramps and Auntie Corinne have told me.
Honestly, I have hardly any memory of them myself. It doesn't really feel real.

Pyra

Isn't that sort of sad?

Rex

Not "sad" exactly... I've just never really thought much about them.

Pyra

Oh, I see.

Rex

I mean, it's Gramps and the villagers who've looked after me this whole time.
They're my family. Everyone in the village is.
And when you've got all these mums, dads, brothers and sisters, it's kind of hard to feel sad, you know?

Gramps

The downside to a big family is that you can't go a day without getting an earful from someone, eh!

Rex

Hey, give it a rest!

Pyra

Have you always sent money home?

Trust +300

Rex

Yeah, I've been sending money back pretty much ever since I left the village to set off to become a salvager.
I mean, take a look around. There's nothing here.
Trade with other countries doesn't really cut it, and being self-sufficient only goes so far.
What I earn is a pittance, but it's better than nothing, I think.

Pyra

But it can't be easy for you either, living the way you do...
You shouldn't push yourself so hard.

Rex

Mmm, I guess. But I can't really leave my family out in the lurch either.

Pyra

Your family? You mean the villagers?

Rex

That's right. Everyone in the village is like family to me.
I'll do everything in my power to help them!

Gramps

They're all very grateful to Rex for his work.
Never thought a mischievous brat like you'd grow some backbone!

Rex

Who are you calling a brat?!

Pyra

Hahaha!

Rex

What? What's so funny?

Pyra

Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude.
I just couldn't help but admire your way of thinking.
I'd love to have a family as big as yours, Rex.

Rex

What are you talking about, Pyra? You're already part of the family.

Gramps

...So can we take this as confession of love?
Very bold of you to do so in front of your parents, my boy!

Pyra

Wha-?! Rex, hold on a second!

Rex

N-no! That's not what I was trying to say!
You, Nia, Mòrag, Zeke, and Tora too...
All of you... You're all family to me.
So there's no reason to feel sad or lonely, that's what I'm trying to say!

Gramps

Huh, so much for the boy having backbone. Sorry, Pyra, this one's going to be hard work.

Pyra

...Hahaha! That's all right. I've got a surprising amount of patience.

Rex

Oi! What are you two going on about? Jeez...
