Oh, hey Shamir. Going somewhere?
link
Shamir
volume_up
Yep. Private matter. Be back in time for the next mission.
link
Leonie
volume_up
So you'll be away tonight?
link
Shamir
volume_up
Who knows? Could finish today. Might take longer.
link
Leonie
volume_up
Well, if someone asks where you are, what should I tell them?
link
Shamir
volume_up
Say you don't know. Which is the truth. Later.
Shez (Male)
Shez (Female)

Shez
volume_up
Shamir, wait.
link
Shez
volume_up
Shamir, wait.
link
Shamir
volume_up
Yeah?
Ask if she's headed for a romantic rendezvous.
Ask if she's going to fight someone.
Ask if she's going drinking with someone.

Shez

Are you going to meet a special someone, maybe?

Shez
volume_up
Are you going to meet a special someone, maybe?
link
Shamir
volume_up
Actually, I'm ending a relationship. Special in its own way, I guess, but not how you mean.
Shez (Male)
Shez (Female)
link
Shez
volume_up
I bet you're going to fight someone, right?
link
Shez
volume_up
I bet you're going to fight someone, right?
link
Shamir
volume_up
Good guess. Let's just say I'm going to cut off an old connection.
Shez (Male)
Shez (Female)

Shez
volume_up
Are you going drinking with someone?
link
Shez
volume_up
Are you going drinking with someone?
link
Shamir
volume_up
I wish. But no. I'm actually going to cut off an old connection.
link
Leonie
volume_up
Sounds thorny. Would you mind telling us more?
link
Shamir
volume_up
Yes. I would.
link
Leonie
volume_up
Well then...can we come with you?
link
Shamir
volume_up
Ugh.
link
Shamir
volume_up
Look, it's nothing. A noble I used to work for asked me to do another job for them. I ignored it. They persisted.
link
Shamir
volume_up
Turns out they have an...interest in me.
link
Shamir
volume_up
Now they're threatening to send mercs after me.
link
Leonie
volume_up
Wait, why?
link
Shamir
volume_up
It's a kidnapping. Of a sort. If I refuse to go, they'll kill me.
link
Shamir
volume_up
So I'm going to strike first.
Shez (Male)
Shez (Female)
link
Shez
volume_up
Bold move. Who are the mercs?
link
Shez
volume_up
Bold move. Who are the mercs?
link
Shamir
volume_up
The Guardians of Fódlan.
link
Leonie
volume_up
That's the huge mercenary group that's been making a name for themselves in this war, right?
link
Shamir
volume_up
The very same. Although the noble in question only employs a single squad, not the entire force.
link
Shamir
volume_up
I'd hoped not to see them again, but I don't mind killing them.
link
Leonie
volume_up
So you'll be fighting old friends?
link
Shamir
volume_up
Wouldn't go that far. We worked together once is all. Can I go now?
link
Leonie
volume_up
Not without me, you can't!
link
Shamir
volume_up
Figured you'd say that. And why do I need to involve you in my affairs, exactly?
link
Shamir
volume_up
Besides, this is going to be dangerous. These mercs have no qualms about using underhanded tactics.
link
Shamir
volume_up
This army needs you two. It's not worth the risk.
link
Leonie
volume_up
But the army also needs you!
link
Leonie
volume_up
Besides, I don't know what I'd do if something happened to you!
link
Leonie
volume_up
And I'm not the only one who feels that way, right?
Claim you're coming no matter what.
Hesitate.
Shez (Male)
Shez (Female)
link
Shez
volume_up
We're coming, and that's the end of it.
link
Shez
volume_up
We're coming, and that's the end of it.
Shez (Male)
Shez (Female)
link
Shez
volume_up
Well, uh... Y'know...
link
Shez
volume_up
Well, uh... Y'know...
link
Leonie
volume_up
What's wrong with you? We're going with her.
Shez (Male)
Shez (Female)
link
Shez
volume_up
Sure, right! Of course we are. Just thinking out loud.
link
Shez
volume_up
Sure, right! Of course we are. Just thinking out loud.
link
Shamir
volume_up
Whatever. Do what you want.
link
Leonie
volume_up
We will! Let's go!
