1. Thank you for traveling all the way to Fódlan's Locket.
  2. I am Holst Sigiswald Goneril, in command of [cdb]defense here.
  3. Claude von Riegan. I've heard a lot about you over [cdb]the years.
  4. We're here to help you hold the Locket in whatever [cdb]small way we can.
  5. Ah, House Riegan's new scion. I've heard a fair bit [cdb]about you as well.
  6. I'm impressed you were able to scrape together this [cdb]many troops in so short a time. Duke Oswald has [cdb]clearly chosen his heir wisely.
  7. Also, I can't express my gratitude enough at seeing so [cdb]many young people offering to serve.
  8. Whoa, look at the muscles on you! Your regimen [cdb]must be epic.
  9. Oh, I'm Raphael Kirsten, by the way. Nice to [cdb]meet ya, Holst!
  10. Do not address him so casually, you oaf! This is General Holst, one of the Alliance's finest and bravest [cdb]warriors!
  11. Well met, General. My father sends his warmest [cdb]regards.
  12. So we're gonna fight alongside a famous general? No pressure there.
  13. Yes, I know when I'm out of my league, and I am [cdb]clearly way out on this one. Maybe I should go back [cdb]to the monastery.
  14. And I as well.
  15. Enough, both of you. This is no time to be cowards.
  16. Our enemy's just over there. Are you gonna hide like [cdb]field mice, or will you find some courage and fight?
  17. Talk boldly to inspire them.
  18. Quietly watch the matter play out.
  19. My weapon stands ready! I wanna see what Holst [cdb]here is truly capable of.

  21. ...
  22. ...
  23. Did you get some bad rations there or something, [cdb]friend? It's not like you to be this quiet.
  24. Just saving my energy.
  25. Just saving my energy.
  26. Haha! Your classmates are a real colorful bunch, Hilda. I like 'em.
  27. Thanks, Holst. But if we're all done catching up, [cdb]we might want to focus on the enemy army that's [cdb]headed right for us!
  28. Oho! So they are. The sight of your forces clearly lit [cdb]a fire beneath them.
  29. Fortunately, the Locket is impregnable—which they'll [cdb]soon discover the hard way.
  30. Good luck, all. I'm counting on you. To battle!
