Happy Birthday Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Oh, happy birthday to you! Age is but a number. A person isn't measured by that number, but by the importance of one's accumulated experience. Take me for example. Have I not transcended the need for trivialities such as age? The secret to beauty is in one's disposition. And I'm always beautiful.
2	✔	Your birthday? Isn't that sweet. This is the day you were given life, and up till this day you have managed to survive. Don't you think it's good fortune that you've managed to live this long? Let me offer my advice, little one. There is no need to lead an honorable life. If you're going to live, do so gleefully and beautifully. Living as you please will enrich your life. I will not have you lose sight of who you are, do you understand me? Love yourself and love others who love you. Live each day with beauty and glee. That's all I'm going to say.
3	✔	Today is your birthday, right? Everyone on the ship is absolutely taken with the celebration. How sweet. On a day like this, I command you to frolic and enjoy yourself. To celebrate your own birthday from the bottom of your heart is to love yourself in the most beautiful manner. No matter what others may try to tell you, always love yourself and realize how beautiful you are. Accept that you are the fairest of them all. And never forget that.
4	✔	Happy birthday. You grow more beautiful with each year that passes. I'm not referring to your appearance only, of course. I can see the beautiful passion that burns within your soul. And, oh, how it shines—its fires forged from your countless endeavors on the battlefield. Protecting inner beauty is no easy feat, however. Take care that your passion is never snuffed out. I shall continue to lend you my aid to ensure your beauty never fades.
5	✔	Happy birthday, (Captain). Haha... You seem quite happy surrounded by cakes and treats. Good, good. Happy experiences are an indispensable part of life. You ought to enjoy them to the fullest. Turn the events from today into a driving force, allowing you to press onward toward an even more fulfilling life tomorrow. Actually... Since this is such a joyous occasion, enlighten me—what do you hope to accomplish before your next birthday? Tell me, and I vow to assist you in achieving your goal, remaining at your side to encourage you all the way. Haha, there's no need to be grateful. This is to enrich my own life as well. Seeing you truly shine gives a deeper sense of purpose to my days, after all.

Happy New Year Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Wouldn't it be a great way to start the new year by admiring my beauty? Hehehe, I know that feeling all too well. It's the feeling of rebirth, of wanting to see something of incredible beauty. That's just the natural order of things. Thus you may gaze at me to your heart's content. ... ... Hmm? Have you already had your fill? How humble of you.
2	✔	Happy New Year... is what I should be saying, but more importantly, what are you wearing? Your clothes are stained and your hair is absolutely outrageous. Listen up. Beauty is an art you must work each day to perfect. That you cannot even arrange yourself properly is a sign that you lack discipline in this art! What? This year you want to be properly educated in all things beauty? Well, I never... I must praise you on your efforts to better yourself. All right... This year I expect you to show me how knowledgeable you become in the art of beauty. I hope that you will at least learn to find attire that is becoming of the beautiful.
3	✔	The first day of the new year is the key to what follows. Or so they say. Gather the other crew members. In a civilized manner, I need to inspect everyone to see how committed they are to beauty. If anyone should have less than perfect skin from staying up too late at night, or eating too much, or show any other signs of decay... Hehe... They will not escape my wrath so easily.
4	✔	Happy New Year, (Captain). I hope you continue to put effort into understanding beauty this year. Speaking of which, you look supremely tired. Did you pull an all nighter over the new year? Hehe. You don't have to be so reckless. But I won't criticize you further than that. Here, this is a new medicine I synthesized. My goal was to create a poultice capable of blasting the patient's sleepiness into the stratosphere. Of course, I still need to test its effects on a willing and sleep deprived guinea pig... Looks like my look has turned around in the new year. Don't be shy. Drink this whole flask. Down the hatch now.
5	✔	(Captain), I've toasted some rice cakes. There is more than enough to go around, so have as many as you'd like. Perhaps you'd like to take it easy this New Year's. I hear the kotatsu on this ship are quite pleasant. In that case, I have a few tangerines here—and other dainties that can be left out all day. You may enjoy them in your own time. What's the matter? You look rather puzzled. Hehe. Oh, I know why. You find it odd that I am encouraging you to lie in sloth. Oh, my motivations are simple. I find that a good number of people fail to take care of themselves around the turn of the year. And they sicken for many different reasons—they may be worn out by the cold or late nights or over-feasting. An ideal chance to test my many remedies, I would say. I am certain I can rustle up a cure that will have you back to normal in a twinkling. Oh, and if you happen to find any crew members that are out of sorts, be sure to report them. I mustn't let any patients slip by me, after all.

Valentine's Day Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Would you like some fruit? No? Then how about candy? There's more than enough to go around. Go on. Oh, don't act so surprised. It's Valentine's Day. It's not out of place to offer candy on a day when you're supposed to eat candy, now is it? That's enough modesty. Eat up now.
2	✔	Here. Receive your Valentine's Day gift. This is made from a special medicinal her— Oh never mind... The devil is in the detail as they say. Haha. Hmm? Why do you look that way? Do you suspect I am up to no good? What? What do you mean, "No, thank you"? Hmph... You are a clever one. Allow me to explain. This chocolate is infused with an herb that will enhance beauty. At least in theory. So I expect you to eat this, and I will observe what happens to you. For research purposes. You'll become more beautiful, and I'll further my research. Two birds, one stone, right?
3	✔	Here. I've prepared yet another gift for you. Take it already. What? You would like me to stop mixing in medicinal herbs with your chocolate? You do know that overconsumption of chocolate will ruin your skin, yes? And you are the brightest star on this ship. Therefore it follows that you will receive a great deal of chocolate. I was simply trying to provide you a means to prevent your complexion from taking a turn for the worse. But recognizing kindness does not seem to be your forte. What? I'm just doing it for research? Child, whatever are you talking about?
4	✔	This is a Valentine's Day gift for you. Try it. So? You're making a strange face. What do you think of the flavor? I swear to you, it's a regular milk chocolate. I put no medication inside it. You can't believe that's all? Hehe. You do know me well. Indeed, it's not my only gift. Here, this is a medicinal tea of my own creation. Its effects are potent, but I fear its flavor is still quite bitter. But when paired with sweet chocolate, that should solve the problem, yes? Now, come on. Please take both parts of my gift together.
5	✔	I've prepared some Valentine's chocolate for you this year as well. I dare say they're quite delectable—give them a try. Hehe. Delicious? I'm glad to hear. Then it seems my experiment was a success. The chocolate contains medicinal properties for maintaining healthy skin, and has also been adjusted to suit your tastes. It's unclear how effective the medicine will be, but time will tell. It'll most likely be a success. That's because I had taken the time to adjust the chocolate to suit your body and its needs. I highly doubt my efforts will be in vain. I'm truly grateful to you. It is thanks to your willingness to partake in my creations every year that my research and experimentations are becoming more and more accurate. In other words, one could even say that this chocolate is a product of both my efforts as well as yours. Hehe. Of course, there is still much I'd like to try with you. I do hope you'll look forward to it.
Gift		White Chocolate Cake

White Day Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Oh my, a gift for little old me? You're such a darling. Goodness me, it's a book! And I was just thinking to myself about starting a new one too. You've certainly saved me some trouble, hahaha! Thank you, (Captain).
2	✔	Hmm? You wish to repay me with a gift of your own? I see. Well just because you became more beautiful does not warrant a gift for me. But... If you absolutely must repay me... I require your body. I have made an even more powerful recipe for beauty, and I need to know what effects it has on the body... This will require a considerable amount of time. You or Zehek have a very fast metabolism which is exactly what this experiment calls for. In the end you'll become more beautiful, so I trust there will be no complaints from you. Hahaha.
3	✔	Hm? You've found a White Day present that has effects on my skin? Well I never... I'm sorry to tell you, but there is no way I would use such common— Wait... Since you did go through the trouble of choosing this for me, I suppose I cannot completely refuse the thought. I know... I'll use this as a base for creating an even more powerful medicine which I can actually use. Of course I'll need a guin—I mean... you will help me as part of your present.
4	✔	What do I want for White Day? I should tell you to think of my gift yourself, however... Would you mind joining me on a little walk through the woods? I need to harvest some herbs for my research. And to do that, I need an assistant to help me carry them. The weather's nice at the moment, so it might make for a pleasant stroll. Are you sure? I'm not putting too much pressure on you, am I? Thank you. And, well, if it's not too much trouble... While we're out in the field, would you mind testing some of the herbs for their effects?
5	✔	A White Day gift for me? Are these... medicinal herbs? Oh my. You mean to tell me that you grew these yourself? That's certainly thoughtful of you. Hmm, these herbs don't seem to be of a rare species, but... Hm? Could they be... Yes, these are the herbs I once spoke to you about, aren't they? Herbs so bitter they make finding willing test subjects rather difficult... Ahaha, now I understand! What you mean is that you're willing to take the medicine made from these herbs. Isn't that right? You prepared these because you thought they are what would make me the most happy in the end... What a wonderfully kind person you are. Still, your consideration is what makes me the happiest. I promise I shall make a highly effective medicine that is worthy of your efforts. And with that said, let us begin making the medicine. Come, (Captain)!

Trick or Treat Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	I thought it was awfully lively today. It must be Halloween. Are you dressing up this year? I can help you choose a costume if you haven't decided yet. Why don't I wrap you in bandages? Mysterious, ancient mummies used to be wrapped in them too. Hehe. They even had runes woven into the fabric of the bandages. It's best to conceal your magical prowess. The bandages don't have any significance. I just wanted to indulge in some fun.
2	✔	Trick or treat? Hahah! You're such a child. How becoming. Here's what I've prepared. Take whichever you like. How is it? You love it, right? What? Bitter? Oh! That was the cookie I had prepared for Zehek. It has some medicinal ingredients mixed in. That's too bad. I thought making something bitter in the form of something sweet might have helped... Hmm... Salt and plum vinegar is a difficult flavoring to use. Oh well. Here, this one I've prepared especially for you. Stuff it in your mouth at once.
3	✔	What? Trick or treat? Oh? Have you come to beg me for treats? Well then... I have prepared just the thing for you. Of course, they will come at a price. I need you to tell me how you feel after you've eaten them, gone to bed, and awoken the next day. What? It's Halloween, so I decided to make candies with all kinds of side-effects. But silly me, I forgot which candy does what. Worry not, peasant. None of them have poison. They are all splendid effects I need to test. Now open that mouth and swallow. Show me what becomes of you.
4	✔	Haha. Every year, you come before me to earnestly beg for candy. You must truly love your sweets, (Captain). Fear not, I have saved a selection of sweets which are yours for the taking. Namely these medicinal cookies. Please try one immediately. How is it? Much more palatable than last year, I presume? Since you are the picture of youth, I worked hard to make the flavor suitable for your age. Now, now, there's no reason to feel indebted to me. It was quite beneficial research. By suppressing the bitter taste of medicine, my subjects will be unaware of what they're consuming. Oh, can you imagine all of the new research participants I'll be able to recruit?
5	✔	Haha. Here to beg for treats again this year, I see. Very well. Children are meant to be honest with their feelings, after all. Here, I've prepared you a treat. Please try it at once. Upon taking a bite of the cookie, (Captain)'s taste buds are immediately overwhelmed by an intense, bitter flavor. Goodness, is it that bitter? And here I thought I'd avoided going too far overboard. It was just a little trick, you see. Simply handing over treats gives children the wrong message, if you ask me. But don't worry, I've prepared proper sweet treats as well. Here, eat one to cleanse your palate. Ah, you really ate it. The truth is, if you eat this cookie along with the earlier one, it's intended to produce an unknown side effect. Haha... So what did you think? My treats managed to combine both sweetness and surprise. Quite delightful, don't you agree?

Happy Holidays Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	This holiday night is one full of memories. It reminds me of a beloved child I once nurtured... On this day only, that child could finally be happy, as if the pain and suffering had never existed. As if they had never contracted that loathsome disease. Those joyful memories will always stay me. So many memories come flooding back tonight. Hehe, what a wonderful time of the year.
2	✔	The holy night... It really has meaning for me. I've told you once of a beloved child, do you remember? Only on this night, which overflows with spiritual energy, was the child's curse lifted. This was the only night when acting like every other child was allowed. My heart aches every time I recall... The memories we made will last me a lifetime... Hehehe... Oh what a life I have lived...
3	✔	The holy night is one of many wonders... To the untrained eye, it appears to be nothing more than a normal day's end. But there is so much power... I used to wish this power would last all year long. Hehe... To save my beloved child I was so willing to hope for miracles. But to do what must be done, I must rely only on my own strength. I hope one day this night, will be one just like any other for my beloved and I... I hope one day this silly idea will come to fruition.
4	✔	Ah, I've found you, (Captain). Please, kindly accept this medicine. I've been passing it out to all of the members of the crew. No, it's not a strange medicine. It will help ease your digestive system, given the heaviness of tonight's banquet. Take it before to prevent bloating; take it after to ease indigestion. It's the perfect remedy for anything that ails your stomach. Now, I'll be taking this medicine to Zehek as well. I believe he's fast asleep in his room. He went straight to bed without eating. One wonders if he isn't depressed. In the event he's lost his appetite, this medicine should allow him to enjoy a slice of cake at least. Would you grab a few dishes and follow me? I want him to experience the warmth of the seasons, if only for a little while.
5	✔	(Captain), why are you carrying those candles? To adorn Zehek's room? Ah, I see. Since he cannot come down to the feast, you are bringing some good cheer to him. Hm... Wait here a moment. I'm going to fetch something from my room—another gift I'd like you to give him. Here. Would you mind delivering this aroma candle for me? It will help to soothe his throat. When he was young, I used to light them by his bed on nights he couldn't sleep. Once his coughing subsides, perhaps he'll find the energy to join tonight's festivities after all. If he does come, I would be very glad if you gave him a warm welcome.

The Beautiful Mage

The crew visits Mishra, a fabled mage who resides in an ancient, isolated forest. The crew seeks knowledge of primal crystals but is lectured on beauty instead. After being thrown for a loop by the mage, (Captain) and the others find themselves welcoming her as a new crewmate.

---

The crew hears about a mage gifted with knowledge few possess, who has withdrawn from the mundane world to live deep in an ancient forest.

The crew is now working its way through that gloomy forest in hopes of learning more about primal crystals.

Vyrn: Heh heh. They say she's about a billion years old... And anyone who ticks her off ends up transformed into a disgusting monster. Or wooorse...

Lyria: Nooo...

Katalina: Vyrn! Can't you see how scared she is? Those are only rumors!

Vyrn: Ha-ha! Sorry!

Vyrn: But look at these creepy, overgrown woods! It sure wouldn't surprise me if something terrible happened.

Lyria: This place looks really familiar. Hey, (Captain)... Are you sure we aren't going in circles?

Katalina: I do think I've seen that tree before, now that you mention it. It's starting to look like we're los—

Katalina: Look out! The ground is—

Lyria: Katalina? Ahhh!

Vyrn: Hey! Let go of my tail, Lyria!

Vyrn: Ouch... You okay, (Captain)?

Katalina: Where are we?

???: What's all this noise, Zehek?

Katalina: Lyria! Hide!

Strange Woman: Zehek! Can you hear me? Where in blazes did he run off to?

Strange Woman: Well, well... What have we here? It's been years since I last had callers... Or was it decades?

Strange Woman: I can only assume you've come to learn my beauty secrets. You have, haven't you? Hmm?

Vyrn: What? Um... No, we—

Strange Woman: Very well! Don't be shy, now! I thought I just might die of boredom. You'll get your guidance straight from the source.

Strange Woman: We'll start with... you. Yes, you! The armored lass!

Katalina: You mean me?

Strange Woman: Your hair is pretty enough, but why settle for that? Take these seeds, press them, and use the oil to make it shine like the tears of heaven!

Strange Woman: I'll have you know they're quite hard to acquire, but consider them a gift to celebrate our meeting! Apply the oil twice a day. That's twice, and don't you forget it!

Katalina: Thank you... I suppose.

Strange Woman: And next... Ah, here's something you don't see every day. A flying, talking lizard. For you, perhaps a—

Vyrn: Hey! I don't know what you're supposed to be, but I'm no liz—

Strange Woman: Never mind. I'm no longer interested.

Vyrn: What?

Strange Woman: More importantly... you. I believe they called you (Captain)?

Strange Woman: What is it you're hiding? A certain je ne sais quoi... a pulse of the soul...

Strange Woman: No need to be afraid. I don't bite. Now come on out.

Lyria: ...

Strange Woman: Now this is a shocking find!

Vyrn: No way... How'd you know about Lyria? Who are you?

Strange Woman: A foolish question. Weren't you the ones searching for me?

Vyrn: Wha? No. We're looking for a mage. An old lady...

Strange Woman: Oh, don't be so quick to judge a book by its cover. Your words betray your immaturity.

Katalina: Don't tell me you're her.

Mishra: Indeed I am. You stand before Mishra, Sorceress of the Ancient Wood.

Vyrn: What?

Mishra: Ha-ha! Look at those faces! None of my spells could ever conjure up anything quite like that. Just priceless!

Mishra: Oh, I haven't had a chuckle like that in years.

Mishra: And I suppose you deserve something for giving me a bit of fun.

Mishra: I'm sure there's a question you wish to ask. And considering this girl's power, I presume it has something to do with primal crystals.

Vyrn: What? What do you know about the crystals?

Mishra: Nothing, I'm afraid.

Vyrn: ...

Mishra: Ha-ha! My apologies. My only interests are beauty and ancient writings.

Mishra: But you need not worry. I thought this day might come, so my preparations for the journey are already in place.

Vyrn: Journey? What journey?

Mishra: Well you are travelers, aren't you? And if it's primal crystals you seek, you must be looking beyond the sky. To Estalucia.

Mishra: Visiting unknown lands, crossing swords with unknown foes... I daresay my knowledge will come in handy.

Mishra: What I'm saying is that, should you wish it, I would willingly join you.

Vyrn: (What do you wanna do, (Captain)? But be careful how you phrase it...)

1. Would you care to join us?
2. Smells fishy to me...

Choose: Would you care to join us?

Mishra: A wise answer indeed. I like you.

Go to "Continue 1"

Choose: Smells fishy to me...

Vyrn: What?

Mishra: Does it now? Ha-ha! I like you! Now I'll have to join you no matter what you say. I do hope you're ready.

Continue 1

Mishra: And that's that. Let us go. Isn't this exciting? Enough dawdling—get moving!

Vyrn: It kinda feels like we walked into a trap there...

Katalina: But at least we know she's a seasoned mage. I'm sure she'll be helpful.

Mishra: By the way, how do we get out of here?

Vyrn: Excuse me?

Mishra: I came here decades ago to conduct research on ancient writings, and I seem to have forgotten the way back.

Lyria: Oh, Mishra! You're such a kidder!

Katalina: I'm suddenly not feeling so confident about our new mage...

And so Mishra, accomplished mage and authority on beauty and ancient writings, joins the crew.

She has harsh lessons in store for certain members of the crew in her capacity as aesthetics expert, but they'll find that out soon enough.

The Sage's Treasure

The crew hears about the treasure of an ancient people and visits some remote ruins to investigate. Other skyfarers seeking the treasure have trashed the ruins since Mishra last visited. As the crew explores, monsters suddenly appear.

---

The crew hears a rumor of the treasure of an ancient civilization hidden in some ruins.

Mishra strongly urges the crew to investigate, so they visit the island in question.

Vyrn: Look at all these holes. What a mess.

Katalina: Thugs must have heard about the treasure and come here to try to dig it up.

Mishra: Thanks to them, this place looks quite a bit different than when I last visited.

Vyrn: So you came here before, Mishra?

Mishra: I did. A stone tablet was unearthed here bearing the same ancient writing I use, you see.

Mishra: These ruins were once quiet, devoid of not only monsters but people as well. My, how times have changed.

Lyria: Huh? (Captain), did you hear something just now?

Monster: Grrr...

Katalina: Careful! Monsters!

Rackam: And there are more over here! We're surrounded!

Mishra: And here I was looking forward to a quiet stroll through the ruins. I suppose I'll have to engage in a little... beautification.

The Sage's Treasure: Scene 2

The monsters were sent by a man seeking the treasure. Since he can't read ancient writings, he tries to get Mishra to locate the treasure for him. When the crew fails to cooperate, he sends more monsters at them.

---

Mishra: It's odd to see monsters here. I wonder what became of the spell of warding that used to keep them away.

Lyria: Um... I think I saw someone in that building over there...

Lyria: Maybe it's someone using monsters to chase us away.

???: You're a sharp one, little lady.

Lyria: ...!

Hooligan: Hey, you with the ears! You said something about a spell. Can you read the ancient writing here?

Mishra: And what if I can?

Hooligan: Sounds like I'm in luck! With you here, that treasure's as good as mine.

Hooligan: I found something that looks like a treasure map, but I can't read this gibberish.

Hooligan: I was actually thinking about just destroying the ruins—and then you showed up!

Rackam: Not exactly subtle, are you?

Hooligan: Shut your mouth! If she comes with me, no one has to get hurt.

Hooligan: Or we can do things the fun way...

Monster: Grrr...

Katalina: So our hunch was correct...

Mishra: Ha-ha... Heh-heh... Ha-ha-ha!

Vyrn: Mishra... What's going on?

Mishra: I was hoping you'd give me the chance to vent my temper over what you've done to the ruins.

Mishra: You youngsters nowadays have no respect for history. I think you need to be taught a lesson!

The Sage's Treasure: Scene 3

Mishra leads the crew to the treasure, which turns out to be a great number of stone tablets. Rackam was hoping for something with more resale value, but Mishra gleefully dives into her research to decipher the tablets.

---

Hooligan: Damn it!

Mishra: Is this your treasure map? I see...

Mishra: This is indeed what you thought it was. But I have my doubts that you'd be interested in treasure like this.

Rackam: And what's that supposed to mean?

Mishra: Ha-ha. Seeing is believing. Follow me.

Vyrn: Wow! This is...

Lyria: There are so many stone tablets!

Katalina: This is certainly a grand sight... Every single one is covered with ancient writing.

Mishra: This is a treasure trove of knowledge. Your little map showed the location of a treasure for the learned.

Mishra: I bet you were hoping for something a bit shinier. Ha-ha! Just what I'd expect of a fool!

Hooligan: I can't believe it...

Mishra: You should really just be grateful you didn't get lost in the ruins and starve.

Mishra: From now on, I trust you'll have more sense than to tread ancient ruins without the proper respect.

Rackam: But you know... I was kind of hoping for something a little shinier myself.

Lyria: Ha-ha! But the tablets are definitely a treasure to Mishra!

Rackam: I see... That's why she's been holed up in her room since we got back—research.

Rackam: Which means I haven't had to put up with any lectures on beauty lately, at least...

Mishra: Ahh, (Captain)! Excellent timing! Listen to this!

Mishra: I finally deciphered the writing on the stone tablets we found in the ruins the other day, and I learned something surprising...

Mishra: Combining that ancient knowledge with the herb-blending technique I was researching before, I discovered a new way to tighten the skin and keep it moisturized...

Rackam: G-give me a break!

To Mishra, daring researcher of beauty and ancient texts, the knowledge the crew found in the ancient ruins ranks among the greatest of treasures.

But what sorts of people left that knowledge behind? The compass of Mishra's insatiable curiosity points the way toward this and other truths.

Just Like a Child

Zehek feels bad when his attempts to avoid Mishra's caprices hurt her feelings. To make amends, he brings her some rare herbs she had been seeking.

---

The Grandcypher sails peacefully through the skies, until one day...

Zehek: ...

Vyrn: What's the deal with Zehek? Is he playin' hide-and-seek or something?

Lyria: Maybe he isn't feeling well... We'd better check!

Vyrn: Hey, what's with the hiding? You hurt or something?

Zehek: No... No need to worry yourself over me.

Mishra's Voice: Zehek? Zehek, where are you?

Lyria: Hm?
It sounds like Mishra's calling you, Zehek.

Vyrn: Aren't you gonna answer her?

Zehek: Urgh...

Mishra: Zehek! What in blazes are you doing here? I've been searching up and down for you.

Mishra: What's the matter with you, Zehek? Your heart rate seems all out of sorts. Let's take a look at you.

Zehek: Save it... You're my master, not my doctor.

Mishra: Oh, brr. Chilly as ever. And here I thought we were so close.

Vyrn: Yeah! Now that you're finally reunited with your old teacher, why act all distant?

Zehek: That's not what I—Cough!

Mishra: You were quite the sickly young sprog when I took you in.

Mishra: You'd not be gallivanting around with this lot if it weren't for the treatment I gave you!

Mishra: Quit your brooding! You've been in my care before, haven't you?

Zehek: Yes... Made to drink strange potions and play laboratory rat for you more like—Cough!

Mishra: Is that how it was? My memory seems to have failed me.

Zehek: Master... I am not some toy for you to play with!

Zehek: Cough... After all the time we spent together, I'm well aware that nothing good will ever come of our association!

Mishra: Oh, my... To hear my dearest student speak so...

Mishra: Forgive me. I've always meddled a bit too much, I know. I must mend my ways...

Zehek: ...

Vyrn: Hey! Are you just gonna let her go off like that?

Lyria: She looked pretty hurt...

Zehek: ...

Zehek: Cough!

Vyrn: Hey! Are you sure you should be out in the evening breeze like this?

Zehek: I'm fine... Did you require something?

Vyrn: We were thinkin' you might be hung up on what happened with Mishra.

Zehek: Ah...

Zehek: No, I'm not!

Zehek: Why would I... be worried...

Lyria: Huh? Those herbs you're holding... aren't those the ones Mishra was looking for?

Zehek: That... is pure coincidence!

Vyrn: Haha... Then what are we doing standing around, (Captain)?

(Captain) and the others drag Zehek off in search of Mishra.

Mishra: Hoho! This is quite the shock! Such rare herbs, all for my unworthy sake...

Lyria: Oh good! Mishra likes your gift, Zehek!

Zehek: Cough...

Vyrn: Aww! Zehek, are you blushing?

Mishra: Oh, Zehek... You haven't changed since you were a boy.

Mishra: Hehe. For all the running he did from my treatments, guess who came slinking back because he was too scared to sleep alone...

Lyria: Wow! We're learning all sorts of things about you, Zehek!

Zehek: Gah! When did I ever? Don't go making up things that never happened!

Mishra: Ohohoho! What's wrong, my dear? Is that a thumpity-thump-thump I hear?

Mishra: I can't contain myself. You are simply too adorable!

Zehek: Master! I wish you would stop! How many times must I tell you I am not your playthi—cough!

Mishra: Ahahaha! Oh, fine.

Mishra: With these herbs you brought me, I can start working on a potion for you.

Mishra: Hm... Lyria! Vyrn! Bring these to my lab, on the double.

Vyrn: Whoa! Where's the fire?

Lyria: Meep! You mean these? Wait no, these?

Zehek: This is bad. We have to get out of here! Run, (Captain)!

Vyrn: What's that supposed to mean? Why do we hafta run?

Mishra: Ohoho... This is simply too exciting! These herbs contain a very special ingredient, you see...

Mishra: If I crossbreed them using a special technique...no, that's not quite right. They need to be further refined... Hmm...

Mishra: What are you doing standing around? Zehek, prepare that for me. And you, (Captain)! I need you here!

Zehek, (Captain), and the others are pulled kicking and screaming into Mishra's overzealous cosmetic research.

But at least the crew finally understands Zehek's hang-ups surrounding his mentor a little better.
