Hunter & Prey/Script

Deeprealm Forest

 * Subaki: All right, we're just a stone's throw from the Deeprealm. You must be looking forward to seeing your son again, Saizo.
 * Saizo: ...
 * Subaki: Hmm. I'd swear you look even surlier than usual, Saizo. What's wrong?
 * Saizo: Ah, just concerned about whether my son is getting the training he needs. He's sixth in a line of Saizos. The firstborn men in our family always take the name. And with the name Saizo comes great expectations. If his training has failed him, my son will be a subpar Saizo. I can't have that. He's much older since last I saw him. I have a fairly severe test in mind. Hmm? People. Ahead.
 * Funke: What? You refuse your mission? That reeks of treachery. Reconsider, child.
 * Asugi: Not happening. You could double my cut, and I'd still refuse. I'm out.
 * Saizo: What in all the bitter hells are you doing here, Son?!
 * Asugi: And now you too?! If this ain't the brown sprinkles on my sundae...
 * Funke: What?! You know this boorish blackguard, Asugi?
 * Asugi: Yup. Sorta.
 * Saizo: Did he just call you Asugi? What's the meaning of this, Saizo? You have the proud honour of taking MY name, as I took that of my father! You were born a Saizo. You will die a Saizo. That is our family's custom. Besides, who is this fool?
 * Asugi: Huh? As always, you don't know your head from a hole in the ground. Get lost.
 * Funke: No, no, no, Asugi, Don't be so rude. He and his friends are our guests! Uninvited, yes. But they can't leave our little party now. They can, in fact, help you fulfill your obligations at this fine affair!
 * Saizo: Hmm? Obligations? What does he mean by that, Saizo?
 * Funke: This spoiled guttersnipe wants to abandon our happy family. And right before we're about to break into a manor that will make us fabulously rich. Tsk! Youth, these days.
 * Saizo: Break into a manor? Are you a thief now? You work for this powdered cretin?
 * Asugi: Ha! That's my business.
 * Saizo: I expect more out of you. You shirk your duties as a firstborn Saizo? Sixth in the line?! And you think I won't make that my business?
 * Asugi: What a crock. Saizo this?! Sixth that?! You can take your name and- Well, you know.
 * Saizo: WHAT?!
 * Asugi: I don't take orders. Not from you. Not from anyone. You care about your dumb name more than you've ever cared about me. It's my life. I'll live as I please. See ya.
 * Saizo: See ya?! No one gets away from me. Not over my dead-
 * Funke: No, no, no! Now that my Asugi has fled, let's have no more departing bodies. At least, not until I make you pay for driving off my talented associate.
 * Saizo: What's my damned son gotten us into?!

Before Battle Preparation
(Asugi runs offscreen)
 * Saizo: That's it. Last chance, Son! Get back here.
 * Asugi: Whoops, sorry! Can't hear you! See ya never, old man!
 * Saizo: Damn that kid. We have to catch up with him before he gets away!

After the Battle

 * Asugi: Stop chasing me!
 * Saizo: Never. Now tell me, why did you take up with such low creatures?
 * Asugi: Gotta do something to satisfy my sweet tooth. Besides, you got it all wrong. Or half wrong.
