Mourning Lioness
While staying in Idelva as official guests of the sovereign, (Captain) and Vyrn catch sight of Leona wandering around the kingdom late at night. She reveals that the thought of losing Cain in the same way she lost her fiance, Abel, causes her unbearable anxiety. Comforting words from (Captain) help soothe her concern.
At Pholia's insistence, (Captain) and the crew have come to Idelva Kingdom.
Leona: Sorry to keep you waiting, everyone. Here's where you'll be staying.
Lyria: Whoa, it's so nice!
Leona: While you're in Idelva, I'll be responsible for looking after you.
Leona: Everything you need should already be here.
Leona: But if there's anything else you'd like, don't hesitate to ask.
Katalina: You spoil us. We weren't expecting such an extravagant welcome.
- Yeah! Thanks a ton!
Choose: Yeah! Thanks a ton!Leona: Think nothing of it!
Leona: Crossing skydoms is an amazing feat.
Leona: Not to mention your power rivals the Luminary Knights...
Leona: It would disgrace the kingdom if we couldn't provide due hospitality to such esteemed guests.
Leona: That and... Well, I'm sorry Her Majesty caused you so much trouble this afternoon...
Vyrn: Yeah... She really threw us for a loop.
Leona: Ah, you must forgive her. That's just who the sovereign is.
Lyria: It's okay... No harm done.
Katalina: That's right. It's only natural for the sovereign to be wary of those who enter her country.
Leona: N-no! It's not that she mistrusted you!
Cain: C'mon, Leo... It was pretty obvious what was going on.
Leona: Cain... Do you really think you should be saying that?
Cain: Why not? I feel like it's better to be up front with (Captain) and the others.
Leona: Sigh... Why do I even put up with you...
Leona: Ahem... Well then, allow me to explain the available amenities.
Leona: First off, you'll find fresh garments on this shelf.
Leona: You left your belongings back on your ship, did you not?
Leona: I assume you aren't accustomed to the clothing in Nalhegrande, but you're free to change into these if you'd like.
Lyria: Wow! All of these clothes are so pretty!
Leona: Hehe. Would you like to try them on?
Lyria: Really? Can I?
Leona: Of course. Just pick out your favorite outfit.
Lyria: Haha, yay! Talk about lucky.
Leona: As for meals, you may request whatever you'd like to eat.
Katalina: This seems like a bit much...
Leona: Ah, of course. Idelva's streets are lined with delicious restaurants—just ask Cain. He's eaten his weight in our local specialties.
Leona: Just as skydoms differ, so do their cuisines. You'll have fun exploring the distinctions.
Vyrn: Ooo...
Leona: Please tell me if you'd like to go out. Navigating the streets can get complicated, so I'll show you around.
Leona: Ah, and one more thing... We will of course prepare a bath for you. The palace's herbal water is quite renowned.
Leona: I imagine our bathing customs differ from those in Phantagrande as well.
Leona: I do hope you enjoy the experience.
Katalina: Um... Th-thank you, but...
Leona: Oh, the palace also has a library. You're free to use it at your leisure.
Leona: I can show you there now if you'd like. How does that sound?
Vyrn: N-now?
Leona: Also there's...
(Captain) and the others stand facing Leona in dumbfounded amazement as she continues to prattle on.
Cain: Hey, hey, Leo. Don't you think we should let these guys get some shut-eye? They look ready to conk out.
- We're on the brink of death here.
- Let's pick this back up tomorrow.
Choose: We're on the brink of death here.Vyrn: Yawn... You ain't kiddin'... Been through way too much today...
Leona: Oh! Forgive me, everyone! I suppose I got carried away...
Choose: Let's pick this back up tomorrow.Vyrn: Yawn... Sounds like a good idea to me. I'm beat.
Leona: Of course! You're all exhausted, I'm sure. Forgive me for not realizing sooner.
Continue 1Leona: I just thought explaining everything beforehand would help you adjust to Idelva that much quicker.
Cain: You know... Leo used to come by to help me study.
Cain: One time I gave her a puzzler and snuck out while she was still thinking.
Cain: Later that evening, I was in my room, just waiting for her to come barging in to scold me.
Cain: But she was still busy trying to come up with an answer.
Cain: That's Leo for you—always too serious, always too methodical.
Leona: Cain... You know I can hear you.
Cain: Eep...
Cain: Anyway, Leo, you seem to be much perkier than usual today. Something happen?
Leona: You think so? I feel the same as any other day.
Leona: (Captain) and the others are official guests of the state. I'm only treating their arrival with proper diligence.
Cain: I guess so...
Cain: Maybe you're just feeling guilty for your part in the sovereign's stunt earlier today.
Leona: P-perhaps... But you don't have to say that out loud.
Katalina: Hehe. I see things aren't likely to get boring around here.
Katalina looks to Lyria for a grin, but the young girl doesn't respond.
Katalina: What's wrong, Lyria?
Lyria: ...
Vyrn: Hey now... Did somethin' happen?
Leona: Lyria?
Lyria, head downcast, starts to mutter slowly.
Lyria: I'm sorry... You're letting us stay in this beautiful room...
Lyria: Sniff... And you're all such nice people...
Lyria: But I'm worried about Io and the others... I hope they're all right...
Katalina: Lyria...
A stroke of luck brought these members of the crew to Cain and Leona.
But that doesn't mean their fellow crewmates are faring similarly well.
This thought weighs on Lyria despite the fact that she finds herself surrounded by safety and comfort.
Cain: Everything's all right. We're going to help you guys find your friends, okay?
Cain: Right, Leo?
Leona: Huh? Oh, um... Of course.
Cain: Besides, your friends crossed a skydom with you—no ordinary skyfarers could do something like that.
Vyrn: Heh-heh... Yep, our buds are the strongest!
Katalina: You're absolutely right. Knowing them, I'm sure they're doing fine. There's nothing at all to worry about.
Lyria: Okay...
Leona: ...
Deep into the night, (Captain) and Vyrn find themselves unable to sleep. They decide to take a stroll through the palace halls to pass the time.
Vyrn: Huh? Is somebody over there?
Leona: ...
- Whatcha doin'?
Choose: Whatcha doin'?Leona: Eeek!
(Captain)? Vyrn?
Leona: W-what're you doing? It's the middle of the night.
- Sorry. We couldn't sleep.
Choose: Sorry. We couldn't sleep.Leona: That's because this is an unfamiliar sky to you. I understand how difficult it must be to relax.
Vyrn: Yeah, can't sleep even though we're dog-tired... So weird...
Vyrn: But, wait a minute, what're you doin' up, Leona?
Leona: Well, um...
Leona: Did Lyria manage to fall asleep?
Vyrn: Huh? Yeah, she's basically knocked out.
Leona: That's good to hear. I was worried because she seemed so down earlier...
- You look pretty down yourself, Leona.
- Something on your mind?
Choose: You look pretty down yourself, Leona.Leona: What? No, um, it's just...
Leona: Ah, this is embarrassing. Everyone's always told me they can tell when I'm anxious.
Choose: Something on your mind?Leona: No... Nothing major at least.
Leona: I'm going to say this not as a representative of the military, but as a regular person.
Continue 2Leona: The truth is...
Leona struggles to find the right words, but soon she takes a small breath and finds the resolve to continue.
Leona: This afternoon, seeing Cain taken like that... I just can't get it out of my mind...
She shuts her eyes, painfully reliving the memory once more.
Cain: ...!
What's happening!
Leona: Cain!
Vyrn: But wasn't that just pretend? Cain was safe the whole time.
Leona: Yes, he was part of Pholia's plot to test your strength.
Leona: It was so sudden when he was kidnapped; I was shaking.
Leona: But then Her Majesty appeared, and I quickly figured out the situation.
Vyrn: O-okay... So what's the matter?
Leona: I know... I know it was all fake!
Leona: And yet, when I saw Cain get taken into the distance...
Leona: It reminded me so much of Abel!
Back during the time of Torhid Kingdom's collapse, Leona was betrothed to Abel, Cain's now deceased older brother.
Leona: The only thing I have left of Abel is Cain... I don't want to lose him too...
Leona: Just seeing what happened today was enough...
Leona: Enough to make me realize that one day Cain could be taken from me right before my eyes.
Leona: It's not Pholia's fault, of course.
Leona: Even though her test was fake, I still wish I hadn't been there for it.
Leona: Whenever I close my eyes, I see him being taken again. It makes my heart race so bad I can't sleep.
Surviving the ravages of the collapse of Torhid has left its mark on Leona.
Vyrn: Um...
Leona: ...
Leona: I'm sorry. Despite what happened today, I've had nights like this for a few years now.
Leona: And each time I can't sleep, I take a walk through the palace... I've grown used to it by now...
Vyrn: That's not exactly comforting though...
Vyrn: Earlier you looked okay. Were you holdin' in the bad feelings the whole time?
Leona: Vyrn, even if I seem pathetic now, I am a military officer. I can't let Her Majesty see me suffer.
Leona: As a matter of fact, I find that strict formality helps me deal with my anxiety.
Leona: But watching Lyria worry about your friends, the ones you've been separated from... Well...
Leona: All of those feelings of losing Abel started coming back...
Leona: I was reminded of how scary it is to lose someone you love...
Vyrn: Yeah... Lyria was really worried earlier, huh?
- What kind of person was Abel?
Choose: What kind of person was Abel?Leona: Um... Let' see...
Leona: He was with the military. Like me. But he was laid back and had a big heart.
Leona: We were complete opposites—me being as serious as I am, there were times when I had no idea what Abel was thinking.
Leona: Before Torhid was destroyed, there was this arrogant nobleman who would come stick his nose in the military's business.
Leona: That was against protocol, so I said some choice words to him. Unfortunately, that got me marked as a troublemaker.
Leona: One day Abel heard about my predicament. He told me, "I'll handle this," before he ran off to the palace.
Vyrn: What! Did everything work out okay?
Leona: Hehe...
Leona: I was worried what he would do, so I followed him. When I caught up, he and the nobleman were having a drink together.
Leona: That man could get anyone to love him...
So anyway, after their little meeting, I never heard a complaint from the nobleman again.
Leona: Abel would surprise everyone with his antics, but he would always see things through to the end.
Leona: And just like that, he went about fixing all of my problems... That's just the type of man he was.
Leona: The only reason Reinhardtzar even knew of Abel was because of how tolerant and forgiving he was of the local thugs.
Leona: Abel was always willing to accept anyone.
Leona: He even used to say, "Thugs? Nah, they're just fun-loving guys."
Leona: His attitude definitely got him into trouble a time or two, but now I can look back on those times fondly.
Leona: ...
Vyrn: Heh-heh, he sounds a lot like (Captain)!
Leona: Huh? Like (Captain)?
Vyrn: Yep! (Captain)'s made a bunch of friends throughout our journey!
Vyrn: Only reason we were able to come to this skydom is because we all banded together!
Vyrn: Don't you think Abel sounds like you, (Captain)? Especially the part about gettin' into trouble!
- You may be right.
Choose: You may be right.Vyrn: Yeah! You wouldn't believe the amount of weirdos who love (Captain)!
Leona: ...
- Abel's happy now. Wherever he is.
Choose: Abel's happy now. Wherever he is.Leona: Huh? He is?
Vyrn: You bet! I was thinking that too! After all, Leona, you've been thinking about him ever since!
Leona: I guess I have...
As if trying to bear her own pain, Leona lowers her head and whispers.
Leona: Even now I worry that I was never able to do anything for Abel.
Leona: He was always protecting me, but I couldn't return the favor.
Leona: Remembering him isn't enough; I wish I had tried harder while he was alive.
Leona: In the end that's not how things worked out though... Now I'm left wondering what was the purpose of Abel's short life...
Vyrn: Mmm...
(Captain) places a hand on Leona's shoulder. She lifts her head in response.
Leona: (Captain)?
- He didn't live to cause you pain.
Choose: He didn't live to cause you pain.Leona: ...!
Vyrn: We've never met the guy...
Vyrn: But for what it's worth, Cain's brother didn't live his life just to make you sad like this.
Leona: (I've never thought about it like that...)
Leona: (Abel always cared for me, so I know he would've never done anything to hurt me.)
Leona: (If I continue to do nothing but mourn him, then I'm treating Abel's memory with far less meaning than he deserves...)
Leona: ...
Leona: After thinking about it, I've realized we share the same fear of being separated from our loved ones, (Captain)...
Leona: I'm so sorry! I made this entire situation about myself...
- We worry about you too, Leona.
Choose: We worry about you too, Leona.Leona: ...
Vyrn: Yeah! You can count on us no matter what happens!
(Captain) and Vyrn head back into the palace, leaving Leona alone in her contemplation.
Leona: What's this?
The nervous throbbing of her chest falls to a steady rhythm; she feels her anxiety evaporating like mist.
A tranquil drowsiness comes over her and she yawns.
Leona: Aaah...
Vyrn: Heh-heh, he sounds a lot like (Captain)!
Leona: Haha...
Leona: You sure do, Abel.
With the name of her fallen lover on her lips, Leona returns inside the palace proper.
Home Cooking
(Captain) and the crew accompany Leona's troop to the island located on the border of Idelva's territory. The Grandcypher gang help protect the island's construction efforts from increasingly frequent monster attacks.
One morning, after (Captain) and the others have fallen into the groove of life in Idelva, Lyria awakens bright and early.
Lyria: Yaaawn... Good morning...
Vyrn: Yeesh, talk about a wake-up call! What's goin' on?
Cain: Hey! You guys awake, huh?
Leona: Good morning, everyone. Did you sleep well?
Vyrn: Yeah, yeah, just tell us what's happening!
Leona: Sorry to disturb you. We're making preparations for an expedition. Nothing to worry about.
Lyria: An expedition? Where's everyone headed?
Leona: A small island on the boundary of Idelva's territory. It's a strategic location, so we're building a fortress there.
Leona: And it's our troop's turn to assume guard duty for the project.
Vyrn: ...?
Cain: Monsters are known to inhabit the island, so the military engineers require protection to get their work done.
Cain: But, maaan, they say the monsters pop up like daisies on that island. This is gonna be such a pain.
Cain: Do we really have to go...
Leona: Yes.
Vyrn: Oh, if it's just fightin' off creepies, you gotta let us help too! Right, (Captain)?
- Sure, we could lend a hand.
Choose: Sure, we could lend a hand.Lyria: Yes! Please let us help!
Cain: Oh! Absolutely!
Leona: Cain! It's like you want them to do our job for us!
Cain: Hahaha! Sorry about that. It's just it's hard to ignore an earnest request from (Captain)'s crew.
Cain: Actually, (Captain), this is convenient because Leo was struggling to figure out how to ask you herself.
Leona: C-Cain!
Cain: Come on... We can't really devote the manpower to the operation, so their assistance would go a long way.
Leona: Sorry, (Captain)... But it's just as Cain suggests.
Leona: To be honest...
Leona: Her Majesty gave me orders to ask you to join our force for the mission.
Leona: It's shameful, but there simply aren't enough spare soldiers in Idelva Kingdom to properly guard a remote island.
Leona: Your cooperation would be greatly appreciated.
Leona: Please remember that this is just a request—feel free to decline if you wish. You and your crew are guests of our kingdom after all.
Leona: I'm sure you're still exhausted from your travels, so I was wondering if I should've asked you at all.
- We want to help you.
- Not a problem!
Choose: We want to help you.Choose: Not a problem!Leona: ...!
Thank you very much!
Vyrn: Well, you heard the captain! Let's get a move on!
(Captain) and the others accompany Cain, Leona, and their troop to the small island.
Vyrn: Umm... This is just a regular ol' island! There's nothin' here!
Leona: Haha. Of course. There aren't any plans to build a city here.
Leona: We're going to construct a fortress on the island while attempting to leave the forest undisturbed.
Leona turns her gaze toward the woodlands in the distance.
Lyria: Ahem, so what about the monsters?
Leona: Right. Originally they lived deep in the woods, but recently they've been coming this way.
Leona: We haven't harmed the forest, so they shouldn't have a reason to approach our construction site...
Leona: Sigh... It's perplexing...
She puts a hand on her forehead in frustration.
- Any other problems?
Choose: Any other problems?Leona: Well... Yes, actually...
Cain: The biggest problem of all: not enough food on this island to feed Leo so now she's all grumpy.
Leona: C-Cain!
Vyrn: Haha! That's what you're worried about, Leona?
Having been in Idelva for several days, (Captain) and the others have had ample time to see Leona's eating habits.
One time, while Leona and Cain were showing the crew around town, Leona made an especially impressive show of her meal.
Vyrn: Heh...
Lyria: ...
Leona: Whew... Excuse me, waiter! One more of these, please!
Waiter: Hahaha! Comin' right up! You sure can put it down!
Leona: What's wrong, everyone? You're not eating? Oh... You don't like it?
Leona: Both skyfarers and soldiers rely on food for sustenance, so hurry and eat up.
Vyrn: Um... Well, just watchin' you feast is more than enough to make me stuffed.
Vyrn: Yeeeah... They definitely won't have enough food on this island to satisfy Leona.
Lyria: Hahaha... And there's no restaurants.
Leona: I'm telling you, that's not it...
- Just hold out till we get back to the palace.
Choose: Just hold out till we get back to the palace.Leona: Not you too, (Captain)!
Cain: I remember you and Abel eating a crazy amount together.
Cain: Now that I think about it, I remember you being really good at cooking, Leo. But you haven't cooked anything recently, right? Why's that?
Leona: For the last time, I'm not concerned about our rations! It's the development of the island I'm anxious about! It's been delayed!
Vyrn: Whoa, for real?
Leona: This island's topography is a little out of the norm; the bedrock is unstable, so it needs to be reinforced.
Leona: But monsters keep appearing, and thus they haven't been able to do proper inspections or flood control—not to mention the reinforcement itself.
Lyria: Oh... That sounds bad...
Leona: I'm thankful you're all here, at any rate.
Cain: It'll all work out in the end, Leo. For now all we have to do is protect those engineers, right?
Leona: Hehe. General Cain, sir, your lighthearted command is appreciated as always.
Cain: Wait. You're actually mad, aren't you?
Leona: Sigh... Did I not just laugh?
Vyrn: Whew... Well, it looks like we've got our work cut out for us.
Leona: The tough times haven't even begun yet.
Leona: For Idelva Kingdom to achieve unity, we'll need to develop more islands like this one.
Leona: We can't let the first step intimidate us.
Cain: Fine, but you can relax and let your hair down just a little, Leo.
Cain: Don't you think so, (Captain)?
- You could ease up a little.
- You're trying too hard, Leona.
Choose: You could ease up a little.Leona: Do you really think so? If you're the one to suggest it, (Captain), then I should give it some thought...
Choose: You're trying too hard, Leona.Leona: A-am I? When you put it that way, (Captain), I could stand to take it a little easier...
Continue 1When the conversation begins to trail off, everyone turns their focus to guarding the construction site—just in time to intercept an unwelcome guest.
Monster: Groooar!
Vyrn: Whoa! Head's up everybody!
Cain: Well, time to start working! Let's have at 'em, Leo, (Captain)!
Leona: (Captain), you take point!
Home Cooking: Scene 2
While fighting monsters, unstable ground beneath the crew gives way and swallows (Captain), Leona, and Vyrn. They immediately start searching for an exit, but encounter a large, subterranean monster that seems to be the cause of both the island's shaky bedrock and its aggressive monsters.
(Captain) lands a brutal blow on the monster; Cain jumps in moments later.
Cain: Time to finish it off!
Cain: ...!
Leona: What's that shaking noise?
In the next instant, holes begin opening up in the ground.
Vyrn: Gah! The ground's comin' apart!
Cain: Whoa!
Leona: Cain!
The broken earth almost swallows Cain, but Leona manages to catch his hand and pull him to safety.
Cain: Leo!
Cain: ...
Leo?!
But this motion, combined with the rattling earth, causes Leona to lose her balance, and she goes tumbling into the hole in place of Cain.
Lyria: (Captain)!
(Captain) plunges into the pitch-black darkness after Leona.
Vyrn: Huh? Hey... Wait up! (Captain)! I'm comin' in too!
Vyrn follows (Captain) into the cavernous pit.
Vyrn: Uh-oh... Did the opening get sealed up?
Leona: (Captain)! Vyrn! Did you two fall as well?
Vyrn: Kind of. (Captain) jumped in after you.
Leona: You jumped into this pitfall for me?
- Are you hurt?
Choose: Are you hurt?Leona: Other than a few bruises, I think I'm fine. Thank you.
Leona: More importantly, I knew the bedrock here was unstable, but I wasn't expecting this.
Leona: What's with this cavern... Even the military wasn't aware of such a large open space beneath the ground.
Vyrn: What do we do, (Captain)? Don't think we'll be able to escape from here—I can't see any way back up.
- We'll find a different way.
Choose: We'll find a different way.Leona: You're right. It appears that the cave continues in this direction. Perhaps it will lead back to the surface.
Leona confidently walks forward, (Captain) and Vyrn following in tow.
Vyrn: Maaan... Why's this kinda thing always happenin' to us?
Vyrn: Well, at least this island's small. I don't think it'll hurt you to be away from Lyria at this distance, (Captain).
Vyrn: Hey, Leona, do you mind slowin' down a little? My wings are tired.
Leona: ...
Vyrn: Um, Leona?
Leona: Oh no... We have to get back now...
Leona: Vyrn, (Captain), we have to hurry. They might still be fighting on the surface.
Leona goes silent as she quickens her pace; (Captain) and Vyrn follow suit.
Leona: This way? Mmm, no... That way, I believe!
The caverns twist and turn like a spider web, but Leona navigates the complicated halls with instinctive aplomb.
Vyrn: Lee-ooh-naa... Don't you think we're rushin' a little much here?
Leona: Sorry, Vyrn... It's just that we've got a job to—
Leona: O-ouch!
Vyrn: You okay?
Leona: Mm... Yeah... Just bumped my head is all...
- It's Cain you're worried about, huh?
Choose: It's Cain you're worried about, huh?Leona: ...!
Leona: It's n-not that! I-I'm a military officer, and I have a d-duty to complete!
Vyrn: Sigh... Think we should tell her, (Captain)?
- Leona's an open book.
- You saw through her too, huh?
Choose: Leona's an open book.Choose: You saw through her too, huh?Leona: ...!
Leona: Sigh... Sorry. I've never been good at lying.
Leona: When the ground started collapsing, I know that I pulled Cain up to safety.
Leona: But I want to confirm that he's all right with my own eyes. I guess that's what made me rush...
Vyrn: Well, Leona, we already know that you're super worried about Cain. You don't have to keep that from us.
Leona: ...
Vyrn: Hmm? What now?
Leona: If Abel were here, I'm sure he'd handle this awful situation better than me.
Vyrn: Ah, right. Your fiance.
Leona: Mm-hm... I don't think he would've fallen into this hole at all.
Vyrn: Really? Sounds like a pretty crazy dude.
Leona: He was usually optimistic and perceptive. If something needed to be done, he would handle it immediately.
Leona: His kindness earned him unmatched trust from both his officers and superiors.
Leona: I used to watch as my own duties piled up before my eyes—I couldn't hold a candle to him.
Leona: (When we finished a job, he would always say, "Yeesh, I'm staaarving...")
Leona: (But he never once ate any of my cooking.)
Leona: (Wait... How long's it been since I stopped cooking?)
Vyrn: Oof!
Vyrn: The heck was that? It made me bump my head…
Leona: Are you okay, Vyrn?
Monster: Groooar!
Leona: Monsters? Here?
Vyrn: This little guy made that big noise?
Vyrn: N-never mind! That clears things up!
Frightened by the larger monster, the smaller one dashes off into the depths of the cave.
The larger monster turns and rampages down the cavern halls after its prey.
Leona: Let's bypass this channel so they don't notice us. Escaping comes first.
- Wait a minute.
Choose: Wait a minute.Leona: (Captain)?
Considering the direction they've been walking in the cave, (Captain) posits that they're currently underneath the forest.
Leona: Okay...
The large monster's disruptive behavior might be disturbing the other monsters living in the forest on the surface, causing them to flee to the construction site.
It could also be the one carving the caverns, effectively reducing the stability of the island's bedrock.
As (Captain) finishes the theory, Leona's eyes grow wide.
Vyrn: You've got a point there. It was even bullying that smaller monster.
Leona: We have to get to the surface and provide support!
- There's no time for that.
Choose: There's no time for that.Leona: What? What do you mean?
Vyrn: I see... We've gotta take down that big fella before it wanders off to terrorize some other place.
Vyrn: Hmm... Since it made these caves, it's probably on the move already.
Leona: Which is to say, if we don't follow it now, we may lose it since it knows these halls better than us. Right?
- That's highly likely.
- Right. Gotta settle this now.
Choose: That's highly likely.Leona: It does stand to reason...
Choose: Right. Gotta settle this now.Leona: Yes... I suppose we must...
Continue 1Leona: (That was impressive leadership. I don't think I could've made such a collected decision myself.)
Witnessing (Captain)'s composure and acumen, Leona feels embarrassed for the lapse in her own judgment.
Leona: (I couldn't see the connection between our mission and the monster...)
Leona: (The captain sees a much broader picture than I do...)
Leona: (Almost as if...)
Vyrn: All right! If we take this big creep down, we'll stop the monsters from leaving the forest and the construction can start back up! Two birds, one stone!
Monster: Groooar!
Vyrn: H-hey! Snap out of it! That giant monster just noticed us! Here it comes!
Leona: ...!
Home Cooking: Scene 3
(Captain) and Leona defeat the large monster and escape the tunnels. Thanks to this, construction on the island progresses more smoothly. (Captain)'s behavior during the underground ordeal reminds Leona of her fallen fiance, thus she offers to cook the crew a meal that she once promised to Abel.
Soon after felling the large monster, (Captain), Vyrn, and Leona find a crack of light peaking into the cave from overhead. They make a successful escape.
Vyrn: Pant... pant... We finally got outta there...
Leona: Yes... Ah. they're okay...
They turn to see Cain and Lyria dashing toward them in the distance.
Vyrn: Heh-heh! Looks like they're just fine!
Leona: Thankfully. The construction of the fortress should proceed smoothly now too. It's all thanks to you, (Captain).
- Couldn't have done it without you, Leona.
- Glad to be of service.
Choose: Couldn't have done it without you, Leona.Leona: Haha. (Captain), we were the ones who asked you for help.
Vyrn: Hahaha. Guess it's backwards day.
Choose: Glad to be of service.Leona: Service is putting it lightly. You've gone above and beyond for Idelva.
Vyrn: It was no sweat! You guys've been great to us, so we wanted to return the favor!
Continue 1Leona: (I'm not so sure I could've handled all that alone...)
Leona: (I could really learn a thing or two from the captain...)
Feeling an overwhelming sense of deja vu, Leona looks on at (Captain).
Vyrn: You guys... I'm glad everything worked out and all... But...
Vyrn stops his grumbling for a moment before glancing at (Captain).
Leona: What's the matter?
Vyrn: I'm staaarving...
(Captain) and Vyrn look up at Leona, a mischievous glint in their eyes.
Leona: S-seriously?
