OK, I get that this little chat needs to be a secret, but if we get any deeper into the woods, someone's gonna be looking for our corpses.

One can never be too safe.

We do not know where our enemy lurks these days.

Lysithea's here too? What's she got to do with this?

Lysithea's here too? What's she got to do with this?
link Hubert volume_up
Lysithea has had contact in the past with those who slither in the dark.
link Hubert volume_up
I asked her to come along so she might be privy to all of the information.
link Lysithea volume_up
I'm just listening. Pretend I'm not even here.
link Lysithea volume_up
And besides, they're my enemy too.
link Shez volume_up
Right.
link Shez volume_up
Right.
link Hubert volume_up
Now as you know, our enemy has gone into hiding.
link Hubert volume_up
But considering what they are capable of, we cannot relax our guard, particularly at the capital.
link Hubert volume_up
The streets of Enbarr practically teemed with them at one time.
link Hubert volume_up
So we cannot rule out the possibility they will attempt some mischief when Her Majesty and the rest of us return.
link Lysithea volume_up
That's true. They're devious...both everywhere and nowhere at once. We have to be careful.
link Shez volume_up
And what's that got to do with me, again? You want me to stop 'em somehow?

I have a request, yes—and a warning.
link Shez volume_up
They're a real headache, all right. So how can I help?

link Hubert volume_up
I called you here because I have a request— and a warning.
link Hubert volume_up
I believe that if those who slither in the dark do try something, they will attempt to approach you.
link Shez volume_up
Me?
link Shez volume_up
Me?
link Hubert volume_up
Yes. You.
link Lysithea volume_up
Your powers may come from the same place as theirs, right?
link Hubert volume_up
As we have previously discussed, your powers and theirs have the same origins.
link Hubert volume_up
It stands to reason they might try to recruit you.
link Shez volume_up
Sure, but they'd be wasting their time.

There's no way I'm gonna help those monsters.

There's no way I'm gonna help those monsters.

And what if they appear as your long-lost brother? Same hair, same eyes, a voice full of kindness.
link Lysithea volume_up
Or what if one of them calls out, "I've finally found you, my child!"
link Hubert volume_up
Maybe they are your family. Maybe they are not. Could you really drive a sword through their heart with that knowledge yet uncertain?

link Hubert volume_up
Forgive me. That was cruel. I am merely voicing one possibility among many.
link Hubert volume_up
Still, now you will know to expect it. It behooves you to remember how harsh reality can actually be.
