1. ...
  2. Oh, hey Shamir. Going somewhere?
  3. Yep. Private matter. Be back in time for the [cdb]next mission.
  4. So you'll be away tonight?
  5. Who knows? Could finish today. Might take longer.
  6. Well, if someone asks where you are, what should I [cdb]tell them?
  7. Say you don't know. Which is the truth. Later.
  8. Shamir, wait.
  9. Shamir, wait.
  10. Yeah?
  11. Ask if she's headed for a romantic rendezvous.
  12. Ask if she's going to fight someone.
  13. Ask if she's going drinking with someone.
  14. Are you going to meet a special someone, maybe?
  15. Are you going to meet a special someone, maybe?
  16. Actually, I'm ending a relationship. Special in its own [cdb]way, I guess, but not how you mean.
  17. I bet you're going to fight someone, right?
  18. I bet you're going to fight someone, right?
  19. Good guess. Let's just say I'm going to cut off an [cdb]old connection.
  20. Are you going drinking with someone?
  21. Are you going drinking with someone?
  22. I wish. But no. I'm actually going to cut off an [cdb]old connection.
  23. Sounds thorny. Would you mind telling us more?
  24. Yes. I would.
  25. Well then...can we come with you?
  26. Ugh.
  27. Look, it's nothing. A noble I used to work for asked [cdb]me to do another job for them. I ignored it. They persisted.
  28. Turns out they have an...interest in me.
  29. Now they're threatening to send mercs after me.
  30. Wait, why?
  31. It's a kidnapping. Of a sort. If I refuse to go, [cdb]they'll kill me.
  32. So I'm going to strike first.
  33. Bold move. Who are the mercs?
  34. Bold move. Who are the mercs?
  35. The Guardians of Fódlan.
  36. That's the huge mercenary group that's been making [cdb]a name for themselves in this war, right?
  37. The very same. Although the noble in question only [cdb]employs a single squad, not the entire force.
  38. I'd hoped not to see them again, but I don't mind [cdb]killing them.
  39. So you'll be fighting old friends?
  40. Wouldn't go that far. We worked together once is all. Can I go now?
  41. Not without me, you can't!
  42. Figured you'd say that. And why do I need to involve [cdb]you in my affairs, exactly?
  43. Besides, this is going to be dangerous. These mercs [cdb]have no qualms about using underhanded tactics.
  44. This army needs you two. It's not worth the risk.
  45. But the army also needs you!
  46. Besides, I don't know what I'd do if something [cdb]happened to you!
  47. And I'm not the only one who feels that way, right?
  48. Claim you're coming no matter what.
  49. Hesitate.
  50. We're coming, and that's the end of it.
  51. We're coming, and that's the end of it.
  52. Well, uh... Y'know...
  53. Well, uh... Y'know...
  54. What's wrong with you? We're going with her.
  55. Sure, right! Of course we are. Just thinking out loud.
  56. Sure, right! Of course we are. Just thinking out loud.
  57. Whatever. Do what you want.
  58. We will! Let's go!
