Base Conversations

First Conversation

"Need something? If not, why talk to me? You’re a strange one. …Huh? Why SHOULDN’T you talk to me? You really need an explanation? I don’t make small talk. Not with you, not with anyone. If we’re clear, move along."

Second Conversation

"Awfully persistent, aren’t you? …Ah, I shouldn’t take that tone with you anymore. Forgive me, Your Highness Princess Anthiese of Zofia. Please pay this humble soldier no mind."

Third Conversation

"Still not going to leave me in peace? Guess it’s my own fault for stickin’ around longer than I expected. I don’t know if you’ll be involved in ruling Zofia or not, but don’t forget the tragedies the last royals brought about with their choices. Taking down Desaix and bringing Mila back home won’t revive the fallen. …That’s all I wanted to say."
