|Summary = As Curran and Cassandra take in a festival together, they receive a report stating that the imperial army is engaging in odd behavior, which results in the cancellation of the special nighttime lantern ceremony. Upon hearing this, Cassandra quickly formulates a plan.
|Dialogue =
{{ST|Cassandra}} Hail there, shopkeep! One hard candy, if you would.
{{ST|Candy Stall Owner}} You betcha, missy! The biggest one I got for the prettiest little lady in town!
{{ST|Cassandra}} Thank you, dearie—though you're likely to be disappointed when you find out my actual age. ...Hmm? What's this?
{{ST|Cassandra}} Say there, shopkeep. What's with the big group of people yonder?
{{ST|Candy Stall Owner}} Word is, that inquisitor there just bagged himself a black marketeer selling dragon horns and bones and such. Apparently he was using a festival stall as a front.
{{ST|Cassandra}} Goodness, a proper crackdown! Still, that's quite the ruckus coming from the throng. Surely they've seen someone tossed in the slammer before?
{{ST|Candy Stall Owner}} Ha ha! What you're hearin' is the voices of the folks what had their stalls smashed up in the raid. They've been arguin' with the inquisitor for a spell now.
{{ST|Cassandra}} An argument, is it? Hmm...
<hr style="margin:1em auto" width="50%">
{{ST|Curran}} I already told you, I didn't mean any harm! The smuggler ran through a gap in the stalls when I was trying to chase him!
{{ST|Stall Owner}} I don't care WHAT you meant! You came crashing in here like a boar in a crockery shop and wrecked all my merchandise!
{{ST|Stall Owner}} Yeah, that's right! Maybe you unmasked your troublemaker, but now I can't do business no more! How're you gonna make this right, huh?
{{ST|Curran}} Er, unfortunately, I don't exactly have any ready money on hand...
{{ST|Cassandra}} Curran?
{{ST|Curran}} Cassandra! What brings you here, my lady?
{{ST|Cassandra}} I heard all the hubbub and hullabaloo. Do you need money?
{{ST|Curran}} Oh, um... I mean, I couldn't... Yes.
<hr style="margin:1em auto" width="50%">
{{ST|Curran}} *sigh* Sorry about making you cover my debts. This is a real low moment for me.
{{ST|Cassandra}} Oh, I'm quite unbothered by it, dearie. You can pay me back when we return to the Halidom.
{{ST|Curran}} That's kind, but I still feel like I need to thank you for this somehow.
{{ST|Cassandra}} In that case, perhaps you would be my gentleman caller and squire me about the festival grounds, mmm?
{{ST|Curran}} Wait, really? That's all you want?
{{ST|Cassandra}} Oh, I've had my eyes on today's festival for a while. Now take my arm and show an old lady a good time!
{{ST|Curran}} If that's what you want, my lady, I am happy to escort you.
<hr style="margin:1em auto" width="50%">
{{ST|Curran}} ...Or so I thought. I never imagined that escorting a lady around a festival would be this demanding!
{{ST|Cassandra}} Yoo hoo, Curran! I just bought these Hinomotoan sweets called "dango."
{{ST|Curran}} Er, but you already bought the hard candy, the roasted corn, and the grilled chicken. Aren't you maybe overdoing it?
{{ST|Cassandra}} Surely it's okay for a pair of folks like us to indulge a little on this night? Here, you can have some of the dango.
{{ST|Curran}} (Hrk...so full... She's been taking one bite of everything and then handing it to me.)
{{ST|Cassandra}} Goodness, don't be modest now, dearie! A growing boy like you must be strong.
{{ST|Curran}} All right, all right.
{{ST|Curran}} (Sort of impossible to refuse when one of your elders wants to spoil you...)
{{ST|Lathna}} Oh! Curran!
{{ST|Curran}} Hello, Lathna. You look like you're having fun. Is there someone chaperoning you?
{{ST|Heinwald}} You, sir, claimed you were going out to do inquisitorial work, yet here you stand.
{{ST|Heinwald}} It would appear this "work" entailed stuffing your face with food from the stalls!
{{ST|Curran}} Ease up on the sarcasm, old friend; I've got my reasons. ...Say, now that I think of it, why don't you two join us?
{{ST|Lathna}} Aren't you working?
{{ST|Curran}} Mostly I'm just being bossed around by Cassandra—which, mind you, IS work, but not a hugely big deal.
{{ST|Cassandra}} If you'd prefer, you're more than welcome to repay the money I loaned you right now.
{{ST|Lathna}} She loaned you money?
{{ST|Curran}} Well, not so much loaned as...covered me until I get back to the Halidom.
{{ST|Curran}} Besides, people get too tied up with the idea of money. It's there to be used, not to use YOU.
{{ST|Lathna}} ......
{{ST|Lathna}} That's all well and good, Curran, but it wouldn't do to not repay your debts. You're an adult, which means you need to be responsible.
{{ST|Curran}} Oh, come on, you've got it all wrong. Don't judge me with those judgey eyes!
{{ST|Heinwald}} Heh heh. Our little Lathna is correct: You should repay your debts properly, like a grown up.
{{ST|Heinwald}} And with that, we are off.
{{ST|Curran}} Dammit, Heinwald... He knows full well what the deal is, but he's enjoying himself way too much to stop.
<hr style="margin:1em auto" width="50%">
{{ST|Cassandra}} Well, I think that about covers everything, dearie. Still, it's a shame there were so many closed-up stalls.
{{ST|Curran}} Yeah, I thought that was curious. Maybe there was some kind of problem? ...Huh? Someone's coming over.
{{ST|Luca}} Hey there, guys!
{{ST|Curran}} Luca and Ranzal? Where are the two of you going in such a hurry?
{{ST|Ranzal}} Got a bit'a trouble brewing, so we're roundin' up whatever allies are in the area.
{{ST|Curran}} What kind of trouble?
{{ST|Ranzal}} We got reports of an imperial army force gettin' up to no good somewhere near the northern border.
{{ST|Together}} ?!
{{ST|Cassandra}} Goodness, how tactless to do something like that on the day of a festival. However, that doesn't mean they're planning to attack this town necessarily, does it?
{{ST|Luca}} Yeah, I doubt they have much to gain from attacking a rural burg like this.
{{ST|Luca}} Still, them crossing the border willy-nilly ain't a problem we can ignore, which is why we're gonna keep a close watch.
{{ST|Cassandra}} But the festival can continue?
{{ST|Ranzal}} For now, yeah—although looks like the news already had an effect on business.
{{ST|Cassandra}} What effect are you referring to?
{{ST|Ranzal}} Highway's been cut off near the border, which means no one can get through— including the merchant what supplies everybody else.
{{ST|Ranzal}} That's why ya got so many closed stalls— folks got nothin' to sell but air.
{{ST|Cassandra}} Well, that certainly does explain it.
{{ST|Luca}} Yeah, but the stalls aren't the biggest problem—they don't have any candles for the lantern ceremony tonight.
{{ST|Cassandra}} Oh! I...I see.
{{ST|Cassandra}} That was the main event for the evening, yes?
{{ST|Cassandra}} Yep. If I remember, it involves lighting Hinomoto-style lanterns and then letting them float off down the river.
{{ST|Luca}} Ha! You sure know your stuff, Curran! But without candles, the lanterns are just dark little paper floats.
{{ST|Luca}} And since that's really depressing, they put the whole ceremony on hold.
{{ST|Cassandra}} Oh dear...
{{ST|Ranzal}} Anyways, we're takin' up a defensive position up on the northern highway. If yer itchin' for a fight, yer welcome to come join us.
{{ST|Ranzal}} 'Course, I reckon it'll be tough to brawl while yer in those getups.
{{ST|Ranzal}} Maybe stickin' around town is better. You can provide intel and junk, yeah?
{{ST|Cassandra}} ...Wait.
{{ST|Luca}} What is it, Cassandra?
{{ST|Cassandra}} I refuse to stand about like a bump on a log when I might be of greater use.
{{ST|Cassandra}} I know a special task we can do. Something tasty and important.
{{ST|Luca}} Uh, did you say "tasty"?
{{ST|Curran}} You also said "we," as in the two of us. What are you planning here, my lady?
{{ST|Cassandra}} Heh. Well, you see...
