Phew. I hope everyone from the opera company made it safely to town.

We had bandits popping out from every which way, didn't we, Manuela?

Indeed, but those rogues were no match for our combined charms.

You even managed to woo some of 'em to our side!

I'm impressed. I could never do that.

I assume by "charms," you mean the pure beatdown you put on them.

That'll hopefully make 'em think twice before they mess with us again.

Still, why were there so many bandits camped this close to a town?
link
Dorothea
volume_up
Is it because of the war?
link
Hanneman

In a sense.

Care to explain that?

Of course. You see, towns within the Empire have begun tightening their security for fear of the enemy.

Hanneman

And in regions near the front line—such as this one here—there are naturally more soldiers about.

Hanneman

That leaves the bandits with no place to go.

Sounds like they should just abandon the brigand's life and become mercenaries instead.

Easier said than done.

Hanneman

Take the bandits we just fought. It's not as if they have a chain of command or central organization.
link
Hanneman
volume_up
They are clearly a group that came together out of common interest and survival, not any manner of grand military ambition.

Guess that explains why they fought the way they did. All swagger and no plan.

In any case, I came the moment I heard about bandit activity in the area.
link
Hanneman
volume_up
I hypothesized the opera company might be targeted, and so rushed to your aid.
link
Manuela
volume_up
Well done, Hanneman. That's a more clever course of action than I expected from you.
link
Hanneman
volume_up
You could have ended that before the second part.
link
Manuela
volume_up
Oh, don't be upset. In fact, you should be pleased I feel comfortable enough with you to speak my mind!
Comment on how they make a good team.
Note how they really don't get along.

It's nice how you two can be so honest with each other.

Do you think so? Well, that's certainly a more pleasant way to view things.

Manuela
volume_up
That's exactly how I try to look at it—at least until a certain someone comes along and screws it up.

I'd like to say this is a surprise, but I saw how you two were always going at it back at the academy.

We do not "go at it." This mustachioed man-child jabs at me without pause, and I merely defend myself.
link
Hanneman
volume_up
And how can you claim that when not a moment ago you admitted to being the one who could not help but speak her mind?!
link
Dorothea
volume_up
All right, knock it off, you two!
link
Dorothea
volume_up
If you insist on indulging in these sparring sessions, at least have the courtesy to let the rest of us leave the area first.

No, wait! I apologize! Just please don't leave me alone with this woman!

Manuela
volume_up
I'm also sorry. Let's just forget this ever happened and head back as one big happy family, all right?
