A small idea of what I mean

△ “You are the one who came to save me?!”
△ “Yeah? What does it look like I’m doing? Your kingdom said you were in danger, I couldn’t just-“
△ “I was expecting a Cookie more knightly, more heroic to come to my rescue! And the one to answer my pleas…is a train conductor?”

△ “Very well, I suppose I have to make do with what I’ve got. What I want you to do is escort me safely back to my kingdom, I can assure my family will pay you very handsomely for my safe return.”
△ “Can you carry me down these steps by any chance? A gallant knight would never make their princess walk down such a long flight of stairs! I might trip and fall!”
△ “Whatever gets us down faster. We only have a small amount of time before that dragon comes back here!”
△ “You were able to fool the dragon?”
△ “They’re pretty arrogant, I can tell you that.”
△ “Perhaps I could give you some credit for a…rather scruff looking conductor.”

△ “You fought those guards like it was nothing!”
△ “I may be a conductor, but I’m not a defenseless lamb. I know my way around my wrench, it hasn’t failed me in repairs nor in a fight! When you’ve been around the tower for as long as I have, you pick up a few things…”
△ “Fine, I will give you a modicum of applause for knowing your way around a fight. Even if I wished you were more knightly in looks…”
△ “Forgive me, if I had known you had such standards, I would’ve expanded my wardrobe…”

△ “What does it look like?! I’m trying to get the dragon off of you and get them to focus on me!”
△ “You could get burnt to a crisp, it’s too dangerous!”
△ “Listen, I didn’t go through all this just to back down now! I don’t care how hot the dragon’s fire is, every Cookie is getting on the train home!”
△ “Just make a run for it when I leave cover, alright? I’ll meet you back at the train!”
△ “You will make that a promise! You better come back alive, conductor!”
△ “I’ll stick to that, just go!”
Choco Tart watched as you ran out from your cover and ran off, the dragon prioritizing going after you than on her.
△ “They did it….oh, but please return to the train safely, Y/N Cookie…”

△ “I’m…I’m sorry…for how I treated you when we first met back at the tower. I had this dream every night that I was stuck up in there, where I’d wake up to see a paladin in shining armor come to my rescue, defeat the dragon, and takes me home in their arms. Then when I saw you come to instead…”
△ “It’s fine, really. I’m just glad that I got you out there safe and sound. Your folks were worried sick and I couldn’t turn away a plea for help. It was never about the coins and for your hand, it was about making sure that a family wasn’t torn apart forever. Helping out Cookies, that’s just what I do…”
△ “But I feel like I still need to give you something to thank you for your troubles…”
She removes a handkerchief from her person and offers it to you.
△ “I had planned to hand this handkerchief to the brave knight that would save me and you are that knight. I realize that now.”
△ “Can’t turn you down here, I suppose.”
You take it from her and tuck it away.
△ “And it doesn’t have to be marriage right away, we can take things one step at a time, my hero…”
You simply smile to her and nudge her hands down.
△ “I’m flattered, but I’m a conductor. The train has to keep on chugging.”
△ “Wait! I-I’m sorry! I see now that you really are a knight not in appearance, but in heart! Please reconsider…”
You simply turn your back to her and tipped your conductor hat.
△ “I hope the paladin you wish for crosses your path one day, princess. Pardon me, I have a train to start.”
