0. I hate to say it, but you really showed us what's what [cdb]out there.
1. I wasn't certain what would happen when you [cdb]arrived, but you gave us as much as we could handle.
2. It proved to be a fine test for us all.
3. Still, three houses laid to waste single-handedly? I hope word of this doesn't get out, or we'll never be [cdb]able to show our faces again.
4. You seem terribly powerful for a simple mercenary. Is there more to you than meets the eye?
5. Not that I know of! I'm just your run-of-the-mill [cdb]sellsword.
6. Not that I know of! I'm just your run-of-the-mill [cdb]sellsword.
7. But I've been swinging a sword for as long as I can [cdb]remember, so I guess I've got a trick or three up my [cdb]sleeve that you weren't ready for.

9. Honestly, it would've been kinda sad if I couldn't [cdb]hold my own against a couple of academy kids.
10. Honestly, it would've been kinda sad if I couldn't [cdb]hold my own against a couple of academy kids.
11. We are not some amateurs fresh from the classroom. All three of us have experienced the horrors of live [cdb]combat, yet you still outclassed us.
12. So please do not downplay your skills. It only adds [cdb]to our embarrassment.
13. Yeah, it's sort of shocking that the three of us together [cdb]couldn't put up more of a fight.
14. Maybe we should try to develop better chemistry.
15. There might come a time when we're forced to band [cdb]together in a real battle, after all.
16. You say that like you know something we don't.
17. What could the Empire, Kingdom, and Alliance do [cdb]together? Take on Almyra's main force perhaps?
18. It's purely hypothetical, I promise. Still, what's [cdb]wrong with the idea? Don't you have any interest [cdb]in fostering friendship between our regions?
19. I didn't say I was opposed to the idea.
20. Nor I. In truth, it would be good for us to be able to [cdb]work together effectively.
21. Note how friendly the three of them seem to be.
22. Claim they all secretly hate each other.
23. You folks seem to get along pretty well.
24. You folks seem to get along pretty well.
25. I think Fódlan's got peaceful days ahead with the [cdb]three of you in charge.
26. I think Fódlan's got peaceful days ahead with the [cdb]three of you in charge.
27. 'Course that means less work for me, which I'm not [cdb]completely wild about.
28. 'Course that means less work for me, which I'm not [cdb]completely wild about.
29. Oh, I'm confident there will still be a need for [cdb]mercenaries during such tranquil times.
30. You all seem to get along just fine, but I get the [cdb]feeling you secretly hate each other.
31. You all seem to get along just fine, but I get the [cdb]feeling you secretly hate each other.
32. Honestly, we barely even know each other.
33. The whole "hating" part of the relationship is [cdb]probably still a ways off.
34. Indeed. The three of us have hardly had time to [cdb]exchange pleasantries, much less grow acquainted [cdb]with one another.
35. Well, I'm gonna keep my sunny disposition and [cdb]assume we'll all end up the best of friends.
36. Speaking of, I think this is the perfect opportunity for [cdb]a little celebration!
37. Let's all sit down for a meal together without any of [cdb]that messy house or allegiance stuff to complicate it.
38. That's a fine idea. In fact, I think we should come [cdb]together in that fashion on a more consistent basis.
39. I'm sure the monastery staff wouldn't mind, so long as [cdb]our fete doesn't get too out of hand.
40. I can get behind that idea. But before we depart, [cdb]there is one other matter that needs to be settled...
41. I imagine people will be asking you for an explanation [cdb]of what happened here today.
42. I think we should come up with a cover story.
43. Fair enough.
44. Fair enough.
45. Now this will be a true test for our fledgling alliance. I didn't expect it to come so soon, but here we are.
46. Hah! Hopefully we'll be more coordinated than we [cdb]were in the battle against our friend here.
47. My, this is fascinating! All three of them seem to have [cdb]their own little secrets tucked away beneath their [cdb]amicable dispositions.
48. But they're right about one thing—if they can remain [cdb]on friendly terms, peace is all but assured.
