Battle quotes

What foolishness. I will not tolerate traitors in our midst!
— Xander, as the boss of Birthright Chapter 6
Xander: So, you've chosen to take up arms against your own brother... It's not too late for all to be forgiven. Come back to Nohr with us.
Corrin: I can't do that, Xander. I've made my decision, and I stand by it.
Xander: How unfortunate. You leave me no choice. If force is the only thing that can make you listen to reason, so be it!
Corrin: Xander!

— Xander, fighting Corrin in Birthright Chapter 6.
How reckless. Corrin hasn't prepared you for this fight. Well, his/her failings will be your undoing. Prepare to die.

Xander: I'm not your brother anymore. Put that notion out of your head. By your own choice, we are enemies now. Prepare to fight!

— Xander, fighting Corrin in Birthright Chapter 12.
Xander: Fight without fear or hesitation. Don't hold back—I promise you that I won't.
Corrin: I won't. I know I've never bested you before, but that changes now!
Xander: That's the spirit. Come at me!

— Xander, fighting Corrin in Birthright Chapter 26.
Stay back! This is between me and Corrin.

Fool. You've made a terrible mistake opposing me!
— Xander, as an enemy in Revelation Chapter 6.
Xander: So, it's come to this... I will still forgive you if you repent now and return with us to Nohr.
Corrin: No... I can't. I've made my decision. I will not side with anyone.
Xander: I see... Then you leave me no choice but to take you back by force.
Corrin: Xander!

— Xander, fighting Corrin in Revelation Chapter 6.
Only death awaits those who challenge me. Death twice over for traitors!
— Xander, as an enemy in Revelation Chapter 13.
Xander: We meet again, little prince/princess. Because I have regarded you as my beloved brother/sister all these years... I'll give you one more chance. Are you certain you won't side with Nohr?
Corrin: I am. I cannot change course now. But, Xander... you could join me. I swear to you that I want the best for all of us! Ever since I learned the truth I've known that I've needed you with me.
Xander: Nonsense. If you have truly turned against Nohr, I can no longer consider you my brother/sister. Forget any feelings you might have. We now stand as enemies opposite each other on the battlefield.
Corrin: Xander... Why won't you listen?

— Xander, fighting Corrin in Revelation Chapter 13.
Camilla: Hello, Xander...
Xander: Ha... Camilla... Iago told me you had failed in your mission. I never thought you'd turn traitor, too. Are you still a proud Nohrian royal? Or are you just like Corrin?
Camilla: No, you've got it all wrong. He/she hasn't betrayed us. He's/she's the same gentle Corrin he's/she's always been! Why won't you trust him/her?
Xander: Trust him/her? Don't be a fool. I won't listen to any more of your lies. You've chosen your side—opposite me. Prepare yourself, Camilla.
Camilla: Xander, think about what you're doing! Is this really how you want things?

— Xander, fighting Camilla in Revelation Chapter 13.

It often snowed at the Northern Fortress. Elise, Corrin, and I would have snowball fights when I visited. Sometimes, I still pack a bit of snow and throw it into the distance. Though I could never admit to the others that I do anything so childish.
