Dialogue

Ohmigosh, whaaaaat?! This angle is AMAZEBALLS! It's like if good and great had kids or whatever. ...Goreat, maybe? These shots are totally gonna make me start bawling. That's how good they are. And yeah, it's kinda far from the castle, but I'm still happy me and Clix came all the way out here for a photo shoot. Right! Time to get my pics all organized and whatever! Lemme just... Wait, wuh? There's something in the background of this one. It sorta looks like... OHMIGOSH! This is SUPER bad, right?!

There! That should take care of the fiends in this area. Thanks, Elisanne. And thank you as well, Linnea. ...Sure. Oh, how wonderful it is not to live in fear of fiends anymore. We simply MUST find a way to thank you! Don't worry about it. It's our duty to make sure the people here are safe. Hey, are you the ones who beat the fiends? That was awesome! You're sylvan! Why are you living in this human village?! We found this poor girl living on her own in the woods. She was in a right terrible state— didn't even remember her real parents. When we realized she had nowhere to go, we chose to take her in and love her as one of our own. Why? She's sylvan. All of you will die long before she does. You know that, right?  ! This is hardly the time or place to broach such a sensitive topic, Linnea!  ? You can try to hide it all you want, but she'll figure it out someday. And you, if you don't want to be hurt, you'd best avoid involvement with human— Ohmigosh, bad! So bad! TOTES bad, you guys! I mean, like, craaaaz—OOOF!  ! Ack! Sorry, girl! I was runnin' around like my undies were on fire and didn't see you standing there muttering or whatever. You're...too close to me. Hey, you're Nadine, right? Huh? Oh, hey there, prince dude! What a coinkidink! You out here enjoyin' a little chillax time too? The "prince dude" came here with us to dispatch some troublesome fiends. Who's this? Whaaaat?! You don't know me?! I TOTALLY know you, girl! You're Li... Liiiiii... Lumbar? ...Lipstick? ...Luuuuunkhead? LINNEA! That's it! You're Linnea! Yeah, that's too long. Let's go with Lin. (...Lin?) Um...why do you know my name? Huuuuh? Memorizing everyone's names at the castle is the first thing any new pal would do, obvi! Wait. You're from the Halidom? Yep! I'm Nadine. Nice to meetcha, Lin! ...Why do you insist on calling me that? Because, girl! Look, you're Linnea, right? Lin is just, like, the first three letters of your name! C'mooon, Lin! You love it! Do I? Ha ha! One thing about Nadine, she always does things her way. Feels like I should be offended by that... Wait, no! Never mind! Super bad thing! Everyone look at this right now! Your stone has a drawing on it. This isn't a stone—this is my little magic buddy, Clix! He can take pictures and stuff, which is what we were doing back there at that craaazy pretty lake. But THAT isn't the point—THIS is the point: Look on the other side of the lake! Imperial soldiers! Dude, there are a TON of 'em out there. I think they're gonna, like, attack us or whatever? The Imperial Army has been really active lately. It's troubling. And yet, I never thought they would venture into a rural area such as this. They must be after something specific. Nadine? Linnea? Do you mind maybe helping us out for a bit? There are a few other settlements in this area, and we'll need every spare set of hands we can get to keep them safe. ...All right. War should let me see the ugly side of humans. And since my vacation is pretty much poo on a stick now, me and Clix might as well chip in if we can! Thanks. In that case, Elly and I will split up and try to ambush the imperials, while the two of you do what you can to protect settlements in this area. You got it, prince dude! ...Sure.

Now we're acting separately from Euden. Which means... Lin? Hey, Lin! Where you going, girl?! If we're protecting the settlement, we should ambush the soldiers over at the lake. Heeeey, I liiiike it! Let's go kick some soldier butt! This whole place is, like, a snappy pic paradise, and I'm not about to let a bunch of stupid imperials ruin it for everyone. I...don't understand anything you say. But it's fine if you fight with me. Oh, I'm gonna fight the HECK with you! Wait, no. That came out wrong. I mean, I'll fight WITH you. Dangit, still wrong. ...Lin? Hey, Lin! Wait up!
