- Thank you for traveling all the way to Fódlan's
Locket.
- I am Holst Sigiswald Goneril, in command of
[cdb]defense here.
- Claude von Riegan. I've heard a lot about you over
[cdb]the years.
- We're here to help you hold the Locket in whatever
[cdb]small way we can.
- Ah, House Riegan's new scion. I've heard a fair bit
[cdb]about you as well.
- I'm impressed you were able to scrape together this
[cdb]many troops in so short a time. Duke Oswald has
[cdb]clearly chosen his heir wisely.
- Also, I can't express my gratitude enough at seeing so
[cdb]many young people offering to serve.
- Whoa, look at the muscles on you! Your regimen
[cdb]must be epic.
- Oh, I'm Raphael Kirsten, by the way. Nice to
[cdb]meet ya, Holst!
- Do not address him so casually, you oaf! This is
General Holst, one of the Alliance's finest and bravest
[cdb]warriors!
- Well met, General. My father sends his warmest
[cdb]regards.
- So we're gonna fight alongside a famous general?
No pressure there.
- Yes, I know when I'm out of my league, and I am
[cdb]clearly way out on this one. Maybe I should go back
[cdb]to the monastery.
- And I as well.
- Enough, both of you. This is no time to be cowards.
- Our enemy's just over there. Are you gonna hide like
[cdb]field mice, or will you find some courage and fight?
- Talk boldly to inspire them.
- Quietly watch the matter play out.
- My weapon stands ready! I wanna see what Holst
[cdb]here is truly capable of.

- Did you get some bad rations there or something,
[cdb]friend? It's not like you to be this quiet.
- Just saving my energy.
- Just saving my energy.
- Haha! Your classmates are a real colorful bunch,
Hilda. I like 'em.
- Thanks, Holst. But if we're all done catching up,
[cdb]we might want to focus on the enemy army that's
[cdb]headed right for us!
- Oho! So they are. The sight of your forces clearly lit
[cdb]a fire beneath them.
- Fortunately, the Locket is impregnable—which they'll
[cdb]soon discover the hard way.
- Good luck, all. I'm counting on you. To battle!
