i wanna tell you a story. ain't got no characters in it but me. i wanna sing you a sad song. most of it i don't expect you to believe. it starts off just the whiskey and wine, miles of travel and some real good times. but it ends in a dark corridor, and there ain't no windows and there ain't no doors.

This is a reference post for Brady's support dialogues. In order to reflect my decision to play him as an only child, the conversations where he's the son of either Chrom or Robin/My Unit (and thus Lucina/Morgan's sibling and Owain's cousin) won't be included in this post. I also default to playing him without any romantic attachments, but his Rank S supports with the second generation girls will be included for my convenience should that kind of development occur in a meme/game/PSL.
Nah: Ah! B-Brady... Brady: Yeah? Whatcha want? Nah: I don't, er... Nothing in particular. ...... Brady: Then why ya makin' eyes at me? You got something to say or what? Nah: N-Nothing! Brady: Then what? Something wrong with you? You coming down with something? Nah: N-No, nothing like that. I'm fine... Brady: Well, you ain't ACTING fine. It's freaking me out! You don't go all quiet when you talk to any of the others. Nah: That's not true! Er, no, it is, but... I'm not being quiet! I'm the same as always... Brady: Sure, fine. Whatever. Nah: ...... Brady: ...You scared of me? Is that it? I give ya the heebie-jeebies? Nah: I'm not scared! Why would I be scared?! That's crazy talk! You're crazy! Brady: Oh, really? Nah: Y-Yes, really... I'm not! Brady: Well, whatever it is, I ain't sticking around so you can gawk. I'm gonna fade. Nah: *Sigh* I j-just wanted to talk. When I see that face, though, I clam up... It's not my fault he looks so scary!
Brady: Nah! You all right? Nah: B-Brady? I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be? Brady: Uh, because you nearly drowned back there? You sure you're okay? Nah: Absolutely. Really, I'm fine... Thanks to you. At least, I heard it was you who dove in and saved me. My memory is still pretty hazy. Brady: Ugh, who told ya? I asked everybody not to make a big thing outta it... Nah: But it is a big thing, Brady! Especially to me. So, thank you. Brady: Aw, it was nothin'. Nah: Nothing? I could have died! Brady: Not sure how. That water was three feet deep, and that's bein' generous. Nah: Augh... Please, don't remind me. I'm embarrassed half to death as it is. Brady: What about me? I heard you shout for help, so I dove in thinkin' it was deep! Nearly telescoped my damn spine! Nah: ...... Brady: But, hey, I guess we both pulled through. Just be careful in the future, yeah? Nah: ...You're worried for me? Brady: What? W-Well, sure, Nah! We're on the same team, ain't we? Nah: You're actually really sweet, you know that? Brady: What? Where'd that come from? Nah: I had you wrong. I thought you were colder. ...Scarier. Brady: So you WERE scared of me! I knew it! Nah: But not anymore! Now I know you're really a good, kindhearted person! Brady: Gah, stop already! I ain't used to praise. It feels almost as weird to hear ya say that as it does you calling me scary! Nah: Good people should be recognized as such. ...Which is why I'm making a point of telling in camp what a sweetie you are. Brady: Hey, hold on! You don't gotta be tellin' no one nothin', see?!
Brady: Um, Nah? Nah: Yes, Brady? Brady: Is it just me, or have you been following me around constantly the last few days? Did you, uh...need something? Nah: Do I need to need something to be around you? Brady: Are ya talkin' legally? 'Cause then I guess not. Nah: Also, I'll be introducing myself as your little sister from now on. Just so you know. Brady: Wait, what? Nah: I always wanted a nice, protective older brother. I'd say rescuing me from drowning qualifies you as nice and protective, no? Brady: Yeah, but not as your brother! Nah: Oh, don't worry. I'm sure you'll fall into the role with practice. Brady: That's not the... Gah, I don't even... Nah: Plus I still feel so terrible for thinking my poor, misunderstood brother was scary. I'll make it up to you from here on as your doting and adorable little sis! Brady: I told ya! Ain't nothin' to make up for! Nah: Every debt left unpaid is a threat to the stability of human-manakete relations. Brady: That your overblown way of saying you're too stubborn to back down on this? ...Fine, then. Do what you want. But ditch the brother-sister stuff! Folks might get the wrong idea. Nah: ...Oh, all right. It's a grave shame, but I'll concede the point. Brady: well, now that that's settled. See you around, Nah. Nah: But I make no such concession with regards to following you around! Brady: ...Uh, hold on just a second here. Nah: I intend to stay by your side until I manage to repay my debt to you. Brady: Y-yeah, but there's gotta be SOME exceptions! Right? Like, I don't really want ya following me where I'm headed now... By which I mean I expressly forbid ya from following me! Got it?! Nah: What? Why?! Where are you going? Brady: To take a bath! Nah: Eep! S-Sorry! I'll, um... I'll see you around, Brady!
Nah: So, where are we headed today, Brady? Brady: "We" aren't headed anywhere. Were you really planning on following me around all day again? Nah: Well, of course! Brady: You don't think that's going a little far? Already told ya I release you from any debt you think you owe and all that malarkey. Nah: Don't be silly. That's not why at all! It's only natural we should be together. We're a couple. Brady: A couple of what? ...Er, and since when? Nah: Well, we spend all this time together, but you say we're not siblings. Brady: 'Cause we ain't! And what kind of crazy jump gets ya from there to being "a couple"?! Nah: Haven't you felt all the envious looks around camp? The others can't help but long for the sort of passion we share! Brady: Gah! IS that why everybody's been leering at me everywhere I go? Nah: They are NOT leering! ...They're celebrating our beautiful union. Brady: Ugh, I feel like I'm losing my mind here! There IS no beautiful union! And we ain't a "we"! Nah: You don't have to shout. ...Do you really hate me that much? Brady: I never said that! Nah: Then let's get married! Brady: Slow down, would ya?! I need a little time to think here! Nah: You're divorcing me?! Brady: SLOW DOWN! Nah: *Sniff* Used up and cast aside... Who will love poor Nah now? Brady: Nobody used up anybody! Quit sayin' stuff what gives people funny ideas! Nah: Oh! Remarriage, then? Brady: I have the worst headache of my life right now... Nah: Don't overexert yourself, Brady! You're in no condition to weather needless stress. Please, I'm too young to be a widow! Brady: Just... Can I have a minute here? A quiet one? Nah: Don't worry, darling. If it comes down to that, I'll use my dragonstone to transfer my own life force to you. Brady: ...Is that a thing? I didn't know you could do that. Nah: I've never tried it myself, but I heard my mother talk about it. She said it was the stone's true power. ...Probably? Brady: What was she, guessing?! Nah: Even if she were, I'll make it work. I'm prepared to give you half of my life. That's what love means to me. Brady: Cheese and peanuts, this manakete love is heavy! ...Still, it feels pretty good to know someone cares that much. Nah: Then let's tell everyone the ceremony's tonight! I always wanted to be an eight o' clock bride! Brady: Er, there ain't no chance I'm getting you to slow down on this, is there?
