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.
Brady: *Pant, pant, wheeze* Need...air...HAAA...ngh...*sputter, pant* D-Dammit... Avatar: Brady, what's the matter? Brady: Ain't *pant* n-nothin' *pant* matter *wheeze*... Avatar: I thought you were out training with the rest of the troops? Brady: Well duh, that's EXACTLY *cough* what I was doin'. So get off my back! Avatar: You overdid it, didn't you? Brady: Sh-shut yer yapper! Avatar: Do you need a glass of water? Or maybe a damp towel would help? Brady: N-No... I'm perfectly... *cough* fine. Dammit...gotta get back there...rest of 'em...learnin' stuff...gettin' ahead of me... Gotta...train...more...*sniff*... Avatar: Er, Brady. Are you crying? Brady: I SAID shut yer *sniff* yapper. I NEVER cry, yeah?! Avatar: I think you're being much too hard on yourself here, Brady. You have to understand, you're already an important part of this army. Look, here's a handkerchief. Why don't you blow your nose? Brady: That ain't snot, it's tears! I don't need ya wipin' my nose like a sap, see? Avatar: But you never cry, yeah? Brady: You ain't nearly as nice as everyone says you is. Avatar: I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't tease. But seriously, Brady. Are you really so desperate to get stronger? Brady: Well, yeah. Of course I am. It's pretty much all I care about. Avatar: Then let me help you. Brady: What, I'm supposed to just have you drill me? Teach me to fight better? You? Avatar: Basically, yes. Brady: Yeah, well...I suppose that's...fine. Do what ya gotta do. Avatar: Then it's settled! Excellent...
Avatar: Well, Brady. Ready to begin training? It's time we toughened you up. Brady: Yeah, I guess. Where do we start? Avatar: First thing we need to do is work on your habits off the battlefield. Brady: Huh? What's that got to do with fightin' and gettin' strong? Avatar: It has everything to do with it, actually. Your problem is a lack of stamina. We have to make sure the basics are covered before we get into combat. Brady: Sounds like a buncha malarkey if ya ask me, but whatever. Avatar: Now, folks tell me that you're rather picky when it comes to food... Brady: Yeah, I guess. Ain't everyone? Avatar: If you want to get stronger, you can't just eat the things you like. You need a balanced diet, with a full spectrum of nutrients and vitamins. Brady: What, ya mean like equal parts beef AND pork...? Avatar: No, I mean meat, grains, fruits and veggies and dairy. Oh, and no more late nights. A dissolute lifestyle leads to all kinds of health problems. Brady: Fine, fine. So if I eat right and go to bed early, that'll make me strong? Avatar: It won't happen overnight, but little by little, you'll find your stamina improving. Brady: Gettin' good at fightin' sure has a lot less fightin' than I thought. A bit borin' ain't it? Avatar: If you don't want to hear my advice, I so have other things I could be doing... Brady: Oh, no, no! I ain't complainin'! I'll stick to yer program like glue.
Avatar: Good, you're here. Let's get started, shall we? First, I have something for you. Brady: What is it? A weight machine? A new practice sword? A fencin' dummy? Avatar: It's a bowl of my secret soup! Brady: What the hey does soup have to do with buildin' my cannons? Avatar: It's a key part of the program. Now eat the whole bowl, please. Brady: Soup ain't gonna do nothin' for nobody! ...Unless you put secret stuff in here, yeah? Avatar: Only if you consider carrots, turnips, leeks, and pig trotters "secret stuff." Brady: Just regular soup, huh? All right. Down the hatch, I guess... *slurp* EEEEEEEEW! What in blazes?! This tastes horrible! Avatar: Oh, it's not that bad. ...There must be some reason you're still eating it, right? Brady: *Slurp* It's kinda...addictive...even though...*slurp* ...it ain't tastin' better. Avatar: You know why? Because it's full of nutrients that your body's been craving. Brady: *Slurp* Yeah? Avatar: That's right. I analyzed your likes and dislikes to customize the recipe for you. It wasn't easy, either. I was up half the night working on it. Brady: Well, ain't you a peach? *sluuuuuurp* Avatar: My pleasure. If you want results, sometimes you just have to work hard. All I ask in return is that you finish all of it...and there we are. All done! Brady: Oh, yeah. I couldn't stop eating it... Avatar: Well, Brady, I'm impressed. I'll make another batch right away. We'll fix your nutritional problems yet! Brady: Heck, if eatin' that stuff will make me strong, I'll take a whole barrel!
