We love you, Manuela!

Ahh! Did you see that? Dorothea looked right at me!
link Dorothea volume_up
Well, that crowd was amazing.
link Dorothea volume_up
I thought they were going to faint on the spot the moment you appeared.
link Dorothea volume_up
Pretty impressive reaction considering how long it's been since you quit the stage.
link Manuela volume_up
Don't sell yourself short, Dorothea—those people were cheering full-throat for you as well.
link Manuela volume_up
That's also a fine reaction considering you left the songstress life behind nearly two years ago.
link Manuela volume_up
But time passes quickly—and let me tell you, it has certainly done a number on me!
link Dorothea volume_up
Oh, stop it.
link Dorothea volume_up
Time hasn't diminished your beauty, nor your voice.
link Manuela volume_up
Well, you're very sweet to say so.
link Manuela volume_up
But we both know I'm getting by with smoke, mirrors, and the skin of my teeth.
link Manuela volume_up
I'm no longer fit to command the stage.
link Manuela volume_up
At best, I can serve as a bodyguard to our successors in the Mittelfrank Opera Company as they look to entertain our troops.
link Dorothea volume_up
Yes, well, all kidding aside, we both know it was the current songstress, Adrienne, who received the loudest cheers from the crowd.

Feel free to join in the conversation anytime.

Yeah, all this is a bit outta my wheelhouse. Makes me wonder what I'm even doing here, actually.

link Shez volume_up
Hey, not to bring down the mood, but, uh... What am I doing here?
link Shez volume_up
Hey, so not to bring down the mood, but, uh... What am I doing here?
link Shez volume_up
I don't know the first thing about opera, and I'm sure you had plenty of people clamoring to keep all of you safe on this little excursion.

I dunno the first thing about opera, and I'm sure you had plenty of people clamoring to keep all of you safe on this little excursion.
link Shez volume_up
So why me?
link Shez volume_up
So why me?
link Shez volume_up
We've already been over this, Dorothea. You and I both know this kinda thing isn't my cup of tea.
link Shez volume_up
We've already been over this, Dorothea. You and I both know this kinda thing isn't my cup of tea.
link Dorothea volume_up
Actually, your unfamiliarity is the reason we chose you to accompany us.
link Dorothea volume_up
If we brought along a bunch of star-struck fans to serve as escorts, it would end in disaster.
link Manuela volume_up
Sadly, we've learned from experience that people will use any excuse to get close to our singers.
link Manuela volume_up
Sometimes they even convince themselves that we've reciprocated their feelings when we've clearly done nothing of the sort.
link Manuela volume_up
Alas, we've all had to get quite good at close-quarter combat as a result.
link Dorothea volume_up
The opera company was where I learned my dagger skills—though I admit it's hardly the most appropriate weapon for a battlefield.
link Shez volume_up
Sounds intense.
link Shez volume_up
Sounds intense.
link Manuela volume_up
Indeed. Behind the glitz and glamor of the stage swirl all manner of dark desires.
link Dorothea volume_up
But when it works, everyone comes together to beat back the darkness and create something magical.
link Dorothea volume_up
Like most everything else, you just have to take the good with the bad.
link Manuela volume_up
Heh. This kind of talk really takes me back.
link ??? volume_up
Forgive our intrusion, my lady, but we're ready to begin moving again.
link ??? volume_up
We should reach the next town in a little over... Hmm? What's all that racket?
link Shez volume_up
Sounds like we're up.
link Shez volume_up
Sounds like we're up.
link Dorothea volume_up
Don't let them harm any members of the company!
