Bridal Grace/Script

Part 1: For Our Eldest Sister

Pre-Battle

Catria: I apologize for calling on you when you are so busy, Saul.
Saul: No, no, wherever there is a bride in need, I will gladly lend my aid. How can I help?
Shanna: Well… I was hoping you’d be willing to perform a ceremony for my sister Juno and her husband, Zelot.
Saul: Juno and her husband, Zelot? Correct me if I’m wrong, but…are they not already married?
Thea: You’re right, but their first ceremony, in Ilia, was very simple… The two of them were happy with what they had, of course, but we’re here with these lavish outfits now… I thought, if we held a ceremony now, it would make for a lovely memory the two of them can share.
Catria: I’ve been helping make preparations in secret. All we need is someone to perform the ceremony… Will you help us, Saul? Please?
Saul: Ah… Such love between sisters is moving indeed… I understand. If you wish for me to perform the ceremony, I will gladly take part.
Shanna: Yay! Thank you, Saul!
Thea: Now, let’s hurry up and get registered for the tournament.
Saul: …Hm? A tournament?
Shanna: That’s right! Whoever finds the hidden bridal bouquet wins! The winner gets a special ceremony in their name at the end.
Thea: We’ve got to get that bouquet so we can perform the ceremony! Not even death will keep me from it!
Shanna: Right! So get ready, Saul!
Saul: Yes. Right. Erm…let’s all do our best out there! …Hm. I thought being surrounded by so many beauties would be like ascending into heaven, but now…

Thea: Sorry for dragging you into this, Catria, all to help my sister…
Catria: No need to apologize, Thea. I have sisters too, so I understand what they mean to you. We WILL win!
Shanna: We’ll all do our best for Juno! Right, Saul?
Saul: Hm? Oh, right. Yes, of course.

Post-Battle

Shanna: Oh no! My dress is getting ruined!
Thea: We’re sure to lose if things keep up like this… Retreat for now!

Part 2: Sister Search

Pre-Battle

Juno: Hmm… They’re not here either… Where could they be?
Zelot: Is something wrong, Juno?
Juno: I haven’t seen Thea or Shanna anywhere… I was looking forward to seeing them in their dresses…

Post-Battle

Zelot: Ah! Is that Thea and Shanna over there?
Juno: Hm? Over wh— Hey, you two! Wait!

Part 3: Well-Wishing

Pre-Battle

Juno: I finally caught up to you two! What have you been doing? Were you avoiding me? Did I do something wrong?
Shanna: Oh, no, Juno! The thing is, you see, umm…
Thea: You didn’t do anything wrong! There was just a lot going on, we got caught up preparing…
Catria: Thea! Sh!
Juno: Preparing? For what?
Zelot: I’m sure they have their reasons. They’ll tell us all about it later—won’t you, girls?
Shanna: Of course.
Thea: Right. We will.
Saul: Let’s not forget that we have yet to win the tournament…

Post-Battle

Shanna: Hey, Juno, Zelot! Over here!
Juno: What has you so excited, Shanna?
Zelot: Isn’t this the venue where winners of the tournament get to hold their reward ceremony?
Thea: We wanted to have a ceremony for you two, which is why we wanted to win so badly.
Juno: A ceremony for us? But we… Isn’t this supposed to be a festival for everyone?
Shanna: You deserve it, Juno! Plus, you have on such a beautiful dress… It would be a waste not to create some wonderful new memories here with Zelot!
Catria: We also invited other heroes who come from your world.
Fir: Congratulations, Zelot and Juno!
Barte: Yes! Congrats, you two!
Dieck: Sitting around like this is making me itchy, but Shanna was persistent, so…let me congratulate you.
Klein: Allow me to congratulate you as well.
Juno: Oh, you…you did all this just for us?
Saul: If the two of you would make your way over here, we can get started.
Juno: Get…started? Then it really is an entire ceremony?
Zelot: Ah… THey’ve worked so hard, it would be rude of us to refuse… Let’s just enjoy this gift.
Juno: Yes. You’re right… Thank you, Thea, and you too, Shanna. And you as well, Catria.
Shanna: Now, don’t start crying, Juno!
Thea: Seeing you like this, all dressed up and beautiful…is all the thanks I need.
Shanna: W-wait! Don’t YOU start getting emotional now too, Thea! The two of you are going to make ME cry!
Catria: Pull yourselves together! We haven’t even started the ceremony yet.
Zelot: …
Catria: Even you, Zelot?! Well…set your emotions aside for a moment, and escort your bride already!
Zelot: Ah, right! Sorry. Shall we, Juno?
Juno: Yes, dear…
Saul: Ah… Here they come now… All right…
Shanna: This is just lovely… I’m so jealous of you, Juno. I hope I can have a ceremony like this come day…
Thea: Me too…
Shanna: Huh? You too, Thea? I didn’t expect that!
Thea: What is that supposed to mean?
Shanna: Haha! Oh nothing. It’s just a joke! But anyway…don’t rush into anything, all right? If you get married too, I’ll be the last lonely sister…
Thea: Oh, don’t be silly. Besides it’s still a long way— Oh, look! The bouquet is about to be tossed!
Shanna: Ooh! Wait for me! I want it!
Juno: Thea, Shanna… My loving sisters… I hope you two both find a truly steadfast love. When I see you in such beautiful dresses next, I suspect I will see someone great standing with you.
