Shirou POV
Shirou: *Huff, huff* Why do mountains... have to... be so steep?
Olivia: Here. Have some water.
Shirou: Thank you, Olivia. You're a lifesaver.
Olivia: Oh, hardly. I just flail around & pretend to dance, mostly. Anyway, I've started looking for new ways to be useful.
Shirou: Your dancing is spectacular! It never fails to pick me up.
Olivia: Ha! I dance like a ham someone rolled down the stairs. Just thinking of people watching me makes me cringe...
Chrom: We're near the bandit's camp, Shirou. They've ravaged surrounding towns with impunity for too long. It ends today.
Shirou: Right
*Scene transitions to a gray-haired man & a brigand*
Gray-Haired Man: Not today, rogue!
Brigand: Nraugh!
Gray-Haired Man: All safe now, buttercup.
Maiden: I-Inigo?!
Inigo: The crying part is over, love. Now give us a smile. And perhaps a wink if a fellow can be greedy?
Maiden: Inigo, you stupid fool! That bandit you slew has---
Inigo: Dozens of friends who will be terribly cross with me? Aye. Worry not! I'll mop up the lot of them and be back in time for tea.
Maiden: You mustn't! They'll kill you!
Inigo: Ho ho! Don't be silly. I'd never let anyone ruin this perfect face. Surely you want them gone as well, yes? So that you may rebuild in peace?
Maiden: Of course, but...
Inigo: Then let us have no more frowns! A smile like yours is not a treasure to be locked in the king's dungeons! I'll meet you in town once I've sorted those pesky bandits. Perhaps then we can discuss my... reward. Ho ho!
*Scene transitions back to the main group*
Chrom: Their hold is just ahead. It should be... Wait, what's that? Gods, that man is fighting them alone. Come, let's lend him a hand!
*Shirou approaches the man*
Shirou: You all right?
Inigo: Me? Hah! It takes more than that to wound a rogue this charming! Now then, who are you? Not an enemy, it seems.
Shirou: I'm Shirou, vice-leader of the Shepherds. We came to deal with the bandits, so it appears our purpose is shared.
Inigo: Shirou?! Then you...You're my father.
Shirou: What? You, too?!
Inigo: Then you've already met Davis & Mordred?!
Shirou: Yes, they're with us now.
