Script

Inn dialogue

Roc

Rex. I have a favor to ask.

Rex

A favor?

Roc

Would you take me somewhere where you can get a full view of Garfont and tell me about the place?

Rex

No problem!

Heart-to-Heart

Rex

There's a really great view of the whole village from here, right?

Roc

Indeed! It's quite the vista.
Such a fine village it is, too...
Certainly no one is awash with luxury down there. But still, the people are remarkably happy.
Even when life is hard, they keep smiling, keep looking forward.

Rex

I think of it as the continuation of Vandham's spirit. He may be gone, but his good deeds outlive him.

Roc

Yes, it's a fine thought, knowing the man who built and protected this village was once my Driver.

Rex

What should I say...?

Rex

Do you want to hear about Vandham?

Trust +900

Roc

Well... It seems a tad rude to go on about my old Driver in front of my current one.
But I've heard he was quite the remarkable man. Naturally, I'm curious.

Rex

He was one of the good guys, all right.
He had big muscles, a big voice, and an even bigger heart.
It was Vandham who taught me the basics of being a Driver.
More than that, in fact...
He taught me all about Blades, how to fight, the way of the world...
I didn't know him for long, but he taught me the most important things I know.

Roc

Is that right...
He was the kind of solid, powerful and dashing sort that is irresistible to the opposite sex, I'll wager.

Rex

Erm, I'm not sure if he was that much of a hit with the ladies. But he was a great guy, that's for sure.

Roc

Hmmm. I feel the loss of my memories of him very keenly.

Rex

Well, don't worry, Roc.
Like I said before.
The people of this village are carrying on what he started. And so are we.
I hope I can become as good as him some day. I may still have a way to go...
But just you stick with me, Roc, and one day, you'll see!

Roc

I don't doubt it.

Unused line:

Roc

I promise to hold you to the same high standards, Rex.

Rex

Do you wish you could stay here?

Trust +900

Roc

I wouldn't say that.
After all, it's not like I have any memories of my time in this village.
But I believe something lives on here. Something of Vandham, and of myself.
When I think about it, I can't help but get a tad sentimental.

Rex

Yeah, I know what you mean.
It's like the village is full of memories... Memories of you, memories of Vandham.

Roc

I wonder how he and I used to spend our days...

Rex

I think...you probably both lived pretty normal lives, really.

Roc

Normal?

Rex

That's right. Vandham was the everyday sort, you know?
I mean, he'd get up in the morning, see to the kids, then he'd just eat a big sausage sandwich.
Evenings, he'd drink a beer and chat about what he was up to. Then he'd just get a bit sleepy, and go to bed.
I think that's what he was trying to build here. A place where people could just...live normal lives.
I think that's what both of you were always fighting for.

Roc

Fighting for a normal life...?
Then perhaps even now, that normal life is what the people of this village hold most dear.
Tell me, Rex... Would you say Vandham was a kind person?

Rex

Kind, huh...?
I mean, he was straight up with everyone. Maybe even blunt sometimes.
But he was a real gentle giant.
He'd probably get mad at me for saying it, but I think he was a lot like a father.
He's someone that I looked up to. Someone I'd like to be like someday.

Roc

I can see you hold him in great regard, Rex. I only wish I could have met him myself.

Rex

He did everything he could to protect us. I bet he's still watching over us from somewhere, even now...

Roc

Well. In that case, I'd better make sure he always sees me at my best!

Rex

Yeah... I reckon if we don't live up to his expectations, we'll be in for a right rollicking someday!
