[Hibiki needn't worry; Chrom's not quite THAT observant, and people look a good deal different face to face than they do in a crystal tomb. Chrom's handshake is more gentle, but he chuckles in appreciation of her confident grip.]

Yes, that is an unfortunate situation. I wouldn't wish it upon anyone who comes here. Would that the news coule be broken more gently, but alas.

[He shakes his head. At least they're talking about swords and homelands, two things that Chrom loves.]

It's quite all right! I'm from the halidom of Ylisse, actually. I'm not certain you would be familiar with it, but it is a fine land, with good people. And thank you, it's taken quite some time to gather one of each element.

[He folds his arms with a smile.]

What about you? Where are you from, and do you have any combat expertise? If not, I would be willing to train you.
