Mutton! Jerky! Steak! This is the best meat party ever!
link Ignatz volume_up
Slow down, Raphael! Just how much are you planning to eat?
link Lysithea volume_up
Oh, this is delicious. It has a nice, delicate sweetness to it.
link Marianne volume_up
It really does. I wish I could share some with Dorte...
link Leonie volume_up
Dorte? Who's that?
link Hilda volume_up
Oh, that's your friend, right, Marianne? The...horse one.
link Nader volume_up
My brother! You haven't had nearly enough to drink! Come on now, bottoms up!
link Holst volume_up
And you need to eat something! I prepared the food myself, you know. Try the mushrooms. They came out perfect.

The war is far from over, but these people are acting like they don't have a care in the world.

Keeping your guard up all the time is just gonna tire you out. Everyone needs to unwind every now and again.

link Arval volume_up
Hmph. Then why isn't the man of the hour partaking in the festivities?
link Shez volume_up
Now that you mention it, where is Claude?
link Shez volume_up
Now that you mention it, where is Claude?
link Shez volume_up
Claude, what are you doing out here?
link Shez volume_up
Claude, what're you doing out here?
link Claude volume_up
Oh, hey there. Just thought a little fresh air would do me good.
link Shez volume_up
Hit the bottle a little too hard? Can't say I blame you. It's been a while since we've cut loose like this.

link Claude volume_up
Yeah, that could be it.
link Arval volume_up
You've got to wonder what's really running around in that mind of his.
link Arval volume_up
He never revealed his dealing with Count Gloucester, nor that he'd befriended an Almyran general.
link Arval volume_up
He's probably hatching a new scheme right now. Not that he'd ever tell us about it.
link Shez volume_up
What're you thinking about, Claude?
link Shez volume_up
What're you thinking about, Claude?
link Claude volume_up
Hm? Oh, not much. Just letting my mind wander a bit now the battle's finally over.
link Shez volume_up
...
link Shez volume_up
...
link Claude volume_up
What? Do I have something on my face?
link Claude volume_up
Well, I guess I should rejoin the festivities. Come on, let's go be merry.
link Shez volume_up
It still feels like he's got this wall around him. Hard to say if we're ever gonna really understand each other.
link Shez volume_up
It still feels like he's got this wall around him. Hard to say if we're ever gonna really understand each other.
link Arval volume_up
I'm sure you will one day. After all that's happened, he's come to depend quite heavily on you.
link Arval volume_up
Although, if you really want him to see you as someone he can turn to, you'll need to get stronger.
link Arval volume_up
That man harbors many secret ambitions. I wouldn't expect him to back away from this war anytime soon.
link Shez volume_up
Sounds pretty tough when you put it like that.
link Shez volume_up
Sounds pretty tough when you put it like that.
link Arval volume_up
Oh yes. He'll say all of this is for everyone else, but he has aspirations of his own, too.
link Arval volume_up
Just like us and our goal of slaying the Ashen Demon.
link Arval volume_up
If you grow stronger for Claude's sake, it'll benefit your own aspirations as well.
link Arval volume_up
He may not be your partner in destiny, but yours is a valuable relationship nonetheless.
link Shez volume_up
Hey, Arval.
link Shez volume_up
Hey, Arval.
link Arval volume_up
Yes?
link Shez volume_up
Don't you think you're getting a bit too obsessed with this little grudge match?
link Shez volume_up
Don't you think you're getting a bit too obsessed with this little grudge match?
link Arval volume_up
Maybe so. Though I don't believe that's all there is to it.
link Shez volume_up
What do you mean?
link Shez volume_up
What do you mean?
link Arval volume_up
I suppose it just feels like our destiny. Like it's something we're meant to do.
