Kris and Ogma

First conversation

Kris: Sir Ogma.
Ogma: Kris, huh...? What's wrong? You look serious.
Kris: There something I'd like to ask you. Please let me... learn from you, Sir Ogma.
Ogma: ...I don't understand. You're a full-fledged knight, are you not? What do you seek from a mere mercenary?
Kris: Sir Ogma, not only are you a hero from the previous war... But you saved Princess Yuliya and Prince Jubelo from an enemy castle, all by yourself. I don't think you're a "mere" mercenary.
Ogma: Sorry, but find somebody else. I'm not someone who teaches others. ...I'm a man who can do nothing but fight.
Kris: Then... I want you to fight me. Could I ask you to spar with me, one-on-one?
Ogma: What...?
Kris: My grandfather used to tell me this: The best way of knowing somebody is fighting them. Through battle, you get to understand not just your opponent's techniques, but also their personalities and upbringing.
Ogma: ...I see. Your grandfather is correct. But, you realize this right? Once I start... I'm not going to play around.
Kris: ...I am prepared.
Ogma: ...Very well. Come.

Second conversation

Kris: Sir Ogma...
Ogma: What's wrong? Want another match? Our last battle... didn't reach a conclusion, after all.
Kris: No, it was my loss. I know you were holding back when you took me by surprise... Otherwise, I doubt my body could stand in a battlefield ever again... It was a good lesson. The way you fight is completely different from a knight's...
Ogma: Dirty fighting... you mean?
Kris: ...Perhaps I would have called it that, had you asked me before this. However, I couldn't do anything against that dirty fighting... Your fighting style, Sir Ogma, isn't that of a regular soldier. It's...
Ogma: That of a gladiator... One who fights to the death for the pleasure of others. Blinding his opponents' eyes with sand, crushing their heads with a sword soaked in grease and blood... Roaring like a beast, crushing his opponents' flesh even when they move no longer... I was thrown into a place like that when I was still a kid, and battled my way through it.
(If Kris is male)
Kris: That's... That kind of place is probably even more terrible than a battlefield, isn't it...?
(If Kris is female)
Kris: That's... ...I can't even begin to imagine. That place was probably even more terrible than a battlefield, wasn't it...?

Ogma: It's a world you're better off not knowing. I don't wish to remember it either... But, you understand now, don't you? I am not a man you'd want to become...

Third conversation

Kris: Sir Ogma!
Ogma: ...Kris, huh? What the hell are you planning?
Kris: What do you mean?
Ogma: Don't play dumb. Lately, in the battlefield, you've...
Kris: Yes. I've been watching you and learning from your fighting.
Ogma: I'm sure I already told you. I am a mercenary, and an ex-gladiator. I am a far cry from the chivalry you seek.
Kris: Indeed... I thought so at first, too. That your strength lay in the fact you've fought your way through gladiatorial... lawless battles. But, having watched you long and well in hopes of stealing your techniques, I finally understood the truth. That you possess the same heart as us knights.
Ogma: The same heart, you say?
Kris: Yes. There is somebody inside your heart... And you fight for that person. Am I right?
Ogma: ...
Kris: I don't know if it's loyalty or some other feeling... But you're offering your body and soul for that person. Much like a holy knight. And that's your true strength.
Ogma: ...
Kris: My grandfather used to say this: "He who fights for himself is strong indeed". "But, the truly strong are those who can fight for someone else"... Battle tells more about a person than words. Sir Ogma. I respect you, for you're a gladiator... With the heart of a knight.
Ogma: ...
Kris: Therefore, I shall stay by your side. Please let me learn from you.
Ogma: ...An uninvited apprentice, is it? Do as you will. Kris: Yes, thank you very much!

Caeda and Ogma

First conversation

Caeda: Ogma, do you have a moment?
Ogma: Yes, Princess?
Caeda: Here, please hold this...
Ogma: Is this a vulnerary?
Caeda: You wounded your left shoulder whilst protecting me in the last battle, am I right?
Ogma: ...So you noticed.
Caeda: I know, because you're always watching out for me... I'm sure you suffered far more wounds that I'm not aware of.
Ogma: Of course not. Have confidence in my abilities, Princess.
Caeda: ...I'm sorry. I've caused you so much bother...
Ogma: Please raise your head. My life is yours. You needn't concern yourself with my wounds.
Caeda: Ogma...
Ogma: Please give that vulnerary to Marth. I have no need for it.
Caeda: No! I had this vulnerary concocted especially for you. I want you to use it!
Ogma: ...Very well. Then, I shall gladly accept it.

Second conversation

Caeda: Hello, Ogma.
Ogma: Princess. Is there something you want?
Caeda: I just wanted to thank you for saving me again.
Ogma: No need. It's my duty to protect you and the prince.
Caeda: Thank you, Ogma. With you by our side, Marth and I can fight as freely as the wind. I've no doubt that there are few battles over which we cannot triumph.
Ogma: I am hardly deserving of such high praise.
Caeda: I do worry about one little thing though: Your habit of never relying on others... I'm afraid, Ogma. I'm afraid you'll leave us one day.
Ogma: ...
Caeda: Please don't forget, Ogma. As you protect us, we too shall protect you. You are not alone.
Ogma: ...Yes.

Third conversation

Ogma: ...
Caeda: Ogma?
Ogma: ...! ...Princess.
Caeda: Hee hee, you let your guard down for a change!
Ogma: Now you're making fun of me...
Caeda: Haha, I'm actually pretty happy right now.
Ogma: Happy?
Caeda: Uh-huh. It's the first time you've not noticed someone sneak up on you. I'm glad you've started to trust us.
Ogma: ...True. I don't feel like an island anymore. ...That was a big fault of mine. It never once crossed my mind to rely on someone else in battle. That... probably means I've grown weaker.
Caeda: That's not true. You haven't become weaker. If anything, you've only gotten stronger since I first met you.
Ogma: ...Having something to protect and having the relief, knowing somebody is protecting me... You say I've grown stronger thanks to that?
Caeda: Yes, that's what I believe. I'm the same...
Ogma: It's so mysterious. Hearing it from you, it really does feel like I've become stronger.
Caeda: Teehee. I must pray to the goddess of fortune for that strength of yours to always be with me.
Ogma: Then, to answer to your expectations, I hereby vow to fight to the end, as your sword.
Caeda: Thank you, Ogma.
