A Night-time Chat is a Heart-to-Heart in Xenoblade Chronicles.
Sharla
Sorry to drag you away at a time like this.
Mecha-Fiora
It's OK. What did you want to talk about?
Sharla
I didn't want to say this earlier, but...
Until I met you, I thought Melia was the one for him.
Mecha-Fiora
For who? Are you talking about Shulk?
Sharla
Yeah.
Don't get me wrong, I don't want to meddle. I'm just...an onlooker.
I don't really mind which one of you gets the guy.
Mecha-Fiora
Thanks...I think.
Sharla
I know that you're a big deal to the boy, so don't worry.
Lately that's been clear as can be.
Mecha-Fiora
Lately...? You mean...after he found me?
Sharla
Yeah. Since you came back.
I mean, Shulk looked out for everyone like the good guy he is.
But he's definitely changed since you joined us.
Mecha-Fiora
He has? How do you mean?
Sharla
He doesn't seem so... grimly determined.
Mecha-Fiora
Grim anything doesn't sound much like Shulk to me.
Sharla
He might not have even noticed the change himself.
But I did, Dunban did... Riki might have done?
Mecha-Fiora
But not Melia and Reyn?
Sharla
They saw him differently.
Reyn's been going through almost the same thing as Shulk.
And Melia...
Mecha-Fiora
Melia what? What were you going to say?
Sharla
You'll have to talk to her if you want to find that out.
I shouldn't be the one to tell you.
Mecha-Fiora
Fair enough...
Sharla
But I'd still be happy to see either of you get together with Shulk.

Mecha-Fiora
That's kind of you, Sharla.
Wish me luck!
Mecha-Fiora
I don't think he's changed.
Sharla
That makes sense. You didn't see him until after you met up again.
Mecha-Fiora
I know, but...
Do you really think Shulk has changed that much?
Sharla
I don't mean it in a bad way. He's still basically the same guy.
Mecha-Fiora
Well that's a relief. So he never stopped being kind and sweet...
Sharla
Not for a second.
But that's not what I mean. It's subtle, but he's stronger now.
I think it's because he knows he has to protect you from now on.
Mecha-Fiora
That's reassuring!
I'm glad he hasn't changed too much though.
I would hate for Shulk to stop being Shulk.
Sharla
Maybe he tried really hard to stop himself from changing.
Mecha-Fiora
That doesn't sound very practical.
Sharla
I meant, like, subconsciously.
Maybe part of him really wanted to keep hold of who he was.
Mecha-Fiora
You could well be right.
Shulk's a kind enough person that deep down, he'd want to stay kind.
Thanks for telling me about all this, Sharla.
+300
Sharla
Don't worry. No thanks needed. Just hang in there, OK?
Sharla
Something up, Fiora?
Mecha-Fiora
Yes! Something's definitely up!
You see what my body's like now. Why would he pick me over Melia?
Sharla
Talk to me, Fiora. I'm a girl too, so I can relate.
Sharla
Yes. And I want you to remember something.
None of us look at you as someone who needs our pity or anything.
Mecha-Fiora
How can you speak for everyone?
Sharla
Because...I see it in their eyes. Especially Shulk's.
He deeply regrets that he couldn't stop this happening to you.
But his feelings for you are still clear as day.
Sharla
I'm sorry, that might make you worry that you're a burden to him.
But you needed to know that. To know how he feels about you...
Mecha-Fiora
I didn't realise any of this.
I was convinced everyone just felt sorry for me, including him.
I know you all care about me a lot. I guess I just read it a bit wrong!
Sharla
Well, it's hard for me to know for sure what anyone else is thinking.
Or what you're thinking about what they're thinking...
Mecha-Fiora
Even so...
Listening to what you say makes me feel I was mistaken.
Sharla
Probably. But who can blame you for trusting what's in your heart?
+300
Mecha-Fiora
You're right! Thank you, Sharla!
And if I ever look like I haven't understood something like this...
Be sure to let me know!
Mecha-Fiora
No you can't!
Sharla
Maybe that was a bit of a strong statement on my part.
Mecha-Fiora
No, it's fine.
Just...don't pity me or anything...
Sharla
I won't. I would never feel sorry for you.
Wait, no. That came out wrong.
Mecha-Fiora
Sharla, where are you going with this?
Sharla
I don't look at you and think you're someone that needs pity.
But I care about you a lot, and I do worry about you.
About your new body and...how things are going with Shulk.
You probably think I should learn to mind my own business!
Mecha-Fiora
Don't be silly! I don't think that.
You're so nice to me, Sharla.
Here I am complaining and you're just worried I'm OK.
Sharla
It's who I am. I'm glad I got to tell you about it.
And sorry that I pulled you away from you-know-who!
+300
Mecha-Fiora
That's OK! I enjoyed chatting to you. We should do it more often!
