Dialogue

Well fought, everyone. The fiends are nearly routed. That takes care of the big one, at least! Imperials oughta be able to mop up the rest of 'em. Wh-why did you intervene to save us, Your Highness? Your lives are all owed to him! In the future, I suggest you consider which of the princes deserves your fealty. Enough chatter, Euden! Why are you here?! We have business on this mountain. We just happened to find you when we arrived. That's all. You have designs on the Lightwyrm! Hold your tongue, fool! A dragon is no man's prize to be hunted or quibbled over—and certainly not YOURS. And just who do you think you are, you mouthy, impudent slip of a girl?! Oh, the irony of that statement coming from your wretched mouth... You lucked into a dragonpact once, then immediately lost it like a fool. Don't let that swell your head. Enough, Euden! I'll brook no more insults—not from you OR this circus you drag along in your wake! Don't worry. We're moving on. Don't expect you'll wanna face a dragon with yer men all beat to hell like that, eh, Princey? Probably wanna turn back right now. For yer own sake, if not theirs. P-Princey?! How dare you?! When I want your advice, peasant, I shall ask for it! And I will ALSO do precisely as I please! Come on, Emile! Listen to reason! ...Or you know what? Don't. But we're leaving right now. Don't think for one second this is over, you traitor!
