Happy Birthday Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Happy birthday, Captain. To celebrate, let us venture into the forest and hunt for something extra special to eat!
2	✔	Happy Birthday, (Captain)! Well, without further ado, here's your present. That's right, it's a feather of a very rare bird I caught in the forest. Collecting feathers is my only hobby, and I'm glad it finally came in handy. Look, if you hold it like this, there's a rainbow effect. Hey, are you listening? If you just put it in your hair like this... W-w-we'll have matching feathers.
3	✔	Sahli Lao: (Captain)! Happy birthday! U-Um... I-I want you to have this— Ah! Cat: Meow! Sahli Lao: Oww... Ah! Th-the cat's running away with the present! Cat: Meow! Sahli Lao: Aah! It's getting away! W-wait! No! I'm sorry, (Captain). To have such a failure on today of all days. B-but please believe me when say I really wanted to celebrate your birthday! I'm ever grateful to you for letting me join the crew! S-so I hope we can always be togeth— Cat: Meow! Sahli Lao: Ah! The cat's back with the present!! Whew! Here, this is for you. What was I about to say just now? P-please forget all about that!
4	✔	Happy birthday, (Captain). I have a gift for you, naturally. But in addition to that— Let me make a vow! I may be a timid soul, but someday I'll overcome my weaknesses and become a soldier worthy of the name. And at that time I'll pay you back for all your help, (Captain)! But until that day comes and after it passes... May our relationship continue forever, (Captain).
5	✔	(Captain)! Happy birthday. This must be the fifth time I'm celebrating your birthday. Time sure flies like an arrow. Haha. Thinking back, we've been through so much together. I gave you a bird feather that glitters like a rainbow, there was that time the cat snatched away the present, and so much more... I'm sure we'll have many more fun times to share in the days ahead. That's why I hope from the bottom of my heart that I'll get to celebrate your birthday for years to come. Cheers, (Captain)!

Happy New Year Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Happy New Year! Here's to a new year and new adventures! I hope this year will be even better than the last!
2	✔	Wind direction, check! Wind velocity, check! (Captain)! It's time to fly the New Year kite—I mean—time for the aerial scout's test flight! Quick, quick! You have to get up! You promised you'd fly it with me! Yeah, you said so yesterday! Oh, and by the way... H-Happy New Year!
3	✔	Captain! Happy New Year! Hmm, it seems the town is abuzz with New Year's celebrations. This year I want to try taking on a challenge. I'll build my courage up with that. Hm? L-look, (Captain)! What an amazing bow and arrow you've got as a decoration. Do you mind if I hold it? Huh? It's a talisman to ward off evil? I'm sorry! I got a little over excited there before knowing what it was... Sigh... I still have a long way to go... Just have to keep at it, that's what. I hope I can learn from your example this year, (Captain)!
4	✔	(Captain)! Happy New Year! It's the beginning of a new year. Let's get ourselves ready for the challenge! So then, what do you say we go take a trip into town? There are food stalls and events galore! The whole place is coming alive. Simply put, there's a world of temptations out there. What better test of equanimity could there be than to bring ourselves into close proximity of those temptations? A-ah, don't get me wrong. This is just a part of training! Come now. We should hurry!
5	✔	Whew! Our fortress is finally complete, (Captain)! Let's enter the igloo! I had to keep rubbing my freezing hands to see this operation through to the end... Ah, watching the gentle flicker of the lantern light really makes me feel like it's been worth it. But I was able to carry out this mission mainly because... it was so much fun! So, er... May we join hands this year as well in the journey ahead!

Valentine's Day Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	My family sent me some chocolates. Here, have some. No, no, no! That sounds way too forced. Eep! (Captain)! Why didn't you tell me you were in the room!
2	✔	H-h-happy Valentine's, (Captain)! This year I'll let you know how I feel for sure! I won't fall for the same tricks this time! There's no hiding, (Captain)! Happy Valentine's! Initiating Operation: Chocolate!
3	✔	(Captain)! H-h-happy Valentine's! Th-this year I thought I'd bite the bullet and... Ca-captain, p-p-please take this! Ow-ow-ow! I bit my lip... But I'm glad I could give you the chocolates. Hehe. I wanted to tell you how thankful I am to you for taking care of me every day.
4	✔	(Captain)! I, uh... H-here! Hahahahappy Valentine's! Mmph... I stumbled over my words this time around too. When am I going to be able to give you chocolate without being awkward? I won't give up until then! I guess I'm just going to have to stick around with you forever, (Captain)!
5	✔	(Captain)! I-I have, erm... Huff... Huff... Happy Valentine's! Thanks for always being there for me. I hope you like the chocolate! There! I said it! Wow... Saying this face-to-face really takes a lot of nerves... I included a letter too to show just how grateful I am! I hope you remember to read it later! Augh... What an awkward situation to be biting my tongue!
Gift		White Chocolate Cake

White Day Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Wait, that is for me? For White Day? Th-thank you. I... don't suppose you ever get nervous when you're giving a present to someone, do you, (Captain)?
2	✔	I'm... no good with White Day. Receiving or giving presents was never my forte... Right at those moments, I always get so flustered... Huh? I said the same thing last year? M-m-my apologies!
3	✔	C-Captain! That's for me? Are you sure it's all right? N-no, no! I'm more than happy! Overjoyed in fact! Hm? This is... in return for Valentine's? Thank you! Thank you so much! Th-that's strange, I feel all... warm and fuzzy inside... But I can't stand the fact that you don't seem nervous at all! This year I'll train to be more confident!
4	✔	A White Day present for me? Thank you! How about that! I said thank you without stumbling over my words this time! Has all my daily training finally paid off? It's an honor to be praised by you! Goodbye now. I'll be taking my leaf! Aaaah... I messed up in the end... Agh! But a soldier won't be beaten by something that small. (Captain)! I'm looking forward to next year!
5	✔	A present for me? Why, thank you! Hehe. I used to have an aversion to Valentine's and White Day, but I find them so enjoyable now. Yes, gift-giving comes from the heart indeed. When I'm able to get something back for White Day, it feels like our hearts intersect. What a warm feeling it is. I can't help but wonder if you're of the same mind,(Captain)... Eep! I can't believe I just spouted such an embarrassing thing! Yikes! Hey, who said you could pat my head! No smirking allowed either!

Trick or Treat Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	So Halloween has come. My candy preparations are all set. I'm not taking any chances. Nobody's going to trick me this year!
2	✔	Trick or treat! Ah, (Captain)! Today's operation involves deception. Please take a look at this mountain of candy. Yes, you're absolutely correct! We will be giving away each and every one of these treats. We shall take care of the treat part before the trick happens! That way no one can catch us off guard! Hehehe. What do you think of the plan? It's essentially a preemptive strike. We shall take command of Halloween this year!
3	✔	(Captain)! We'll be taking the preemptive strike this Halloween as well! Codename: Operation Hit and Run! Last year we gave out candy before they came or trick-or-treat us. But nothing really happened after that, and that left things a bit wanting.... So this time we'll be going around to trick everyone and run away before they know what hit them! The trick? We'll just tickle them with this feather, but... Th-that's heartless? Heh heh heh. War knows no mercy, (Captain)! Today we tickle like never before! And then we run never before!
4	✔	(Captain), it's Halloween again this year! We have to cook up some secret operations like we did last time around. You want to go head-to-head, do you, (Captain)? Oh! You want to compete on who can play the most tricks and who can avoid them! Very well. My tried-and-true pranks will see to your challenge! Huh? The winner gets to play any trick they want on the loser? I-I'm going to be nervous if that's how we're playing!
5	✔	Ah, (Captain)! You should check out my battle setup! I'll be holing up in this room with these massive stores of treats! I call it Operation Sit Tight! No trick will get through my impenetrable defenses! But there's another problem... No one would even think to come to this room... It's gonna be so lonely—not! I mean, I wouldn't want the candy to go to waste... I know! Why don't you stick around and sit tight with me, (Captain)? Then I'll have nothing to worry about! C'mon, (Captain)! We can start the operation by having some candy!

Happy Holidays Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	It's almost that time of the year again... Hmm, what should I get for (Captain)... Wah! (Captain)! Where'd you come out from!
2	✔	Red alert, red alert! (Captain)! The Red General is mounting an attack! On a silent and holy night, when all are fast asleep, when they least expect it... Ka-boom, ka-boom! An aerial present bomb strike! Our army's shouts of joy turns to screams of agony! (Captain)! Are countermeasures ready? Make sure to check the marshmallow trenches and barricades of holly! And most important, the turkey stronghold! W-what I'm trying to say it... Happy holidays!
3	✔	(Captain)! Are you looking forward to the party? I sure am! About the dinner... Actually, one of the dishes is a turkey I caught. Ah! Aaah... D-don't pat my head! Don't treat me like a child; I'm a full-grown woman! Well, I do guess today of all days it's all right to go back to being a child... B-but look at all this cake! I-is it really okay to eat all of this? Ah! Aaah... I told you not to pat my head!
4	✔	(Captain)! How is this stocking meant to be used? I received one just now, but I can't figure out its purpose for the life of me. Hm? Hang it near the tree and Santa will put presents inside? Th-that's a custom for children, isn't it? Like I've told you so often before, I am an adult! Well, it's fun enough anyway, and I wouldn't want to be a wet blanket. Even if it is child's play, I am bound by duty to give my all. What I mean to say, (Captain), is come hang up your stocking together with me!
5	✔	(Captain)! Preparations for the holiday party are proceeding as planned! About the celebratory tree... Don't you think the bird feathers I topped it off with look so wonderfully resplendent? Haha, I gathered them myself. I consider it an honor to be able to contribute to the holiday cheer! I've also prepared candy canes, bells, ribbons, and all sorts of sparkly decorations—that's including the shiny star on top! I-I'm being a little too excited, you think? Well, that's just perfect for the holiday season! Oh, right! (Captain), do you think you can help me put up some of the decorations?

Shaky Aim

When (Captain) and company are attacked by a forest monster, they're saved by the crossbow-wielding Sahli Lao. They later find the Harvin struggling with stage fright at a tournament, and invite Sahli Lao to join the crew to overcome it.

It's a sunny afternoon, and the crew is strolling through a sleepy, verdant forest.

But the ground is still wet from the previous night's rain, and Lyria sprains her ankle when she trips.

Vyrn: What a bummer. We've got terrible luck to find mud in a place like this.

(Captain) carries the injured Lyria and slowly starts to run out of breath.

Lyria: I'm so sorry, (Captain)...

Lyria: But being carried by you like this makes me feel safer somehow...

Lyria: Ah! I mean... Oh, I'm sorry! Pay no attention to me...

A large shadow approaches the unwary party. (Captain), still carrying Lyria, fails to notice the danger.

Vyrn: What now? More rain?

Lyria: Vyrn, behind you!

Vyrn: What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost...

Very Large Monster: Groar!

A gigantic, four-legged monster looms behind Vyrn, licking its lips.

Vyrn: Yikes! That's huge! Let's get out of here, (Captain)!

(Captain) and the crew try to make a hasty retreat, but having to carry Lyria slows them down.

Vyrn: Ugh! We'll never outrun it at this rate!

???: Don't worry! I won't miss this time!

An arrow appears from nowhere, hitting the monster square between the eyes and felling the beast with an earthshaking thud.

Vyrn: Whoa! What was that!

???: Nailed it!

The mysterious savior of (Captain) and the crew is a Harvin archer wielding an enormous crossbow.

Vyrn: Wow! What a huge crossbow! Isn't that thing bigger than you?

???: Ha-ha... Well, this was customized for Harvin use, so it's not too tough to use once you get the hang of it.

Vyrn: Incredible! You must be some kind of pro with that thing! Thanks a bunch, big guy!

???: I'm just glad you're all unharmed. Now if you'll excuse me...

Lyria: No, wait! We haven't had a chance to thank you yet.

???: No need! It is I who should be thanking you.

Lyria: Huh?

???: Well, I'm a soldier. I consider it an honor to protect children and small animals.

???: But to tell you the truth, I'm actually off-duty right now, so I'm not officially protecting anyone.

???: In fact I'm taking the opportunity to travel for personal reasons.

Lyria: Fascinating... Oh! If you don't mind me asking, could you tell us your name?

Sahli Lao: Oh, how rude of me. My name is Sahli Lao. Now I must be off.

Several days later, (Captain) and the fully recovered Lyria go to enjoy the local sights.

They find a tournament where marksmen from far and wide pit their skills against one another.

Sahli Lao: Ha! Ugh! There!

Lyria: Hey! Isn't that Sahli Lao over there?

Sahli Lao: Oh! It's you guys...

Sahli Lao: How are you? So you're still staying on this island then.

Lyria: We sure are! Sahli Lao, are you going to be competing in the tournament?

Sahli Lao: That's right. It's really just to test myself though.

Lyria: Good luck! We'll be cheering for you!

Sahli Lao: You will? Oh, thank you...

By taking advantage of agility and faultless aim, the diminutive Sahli Lao works toward the final round.

But as the final round approaches, the Harvin starts to show signs of tension in weapon grip.

Sahli Lao: It's... It's the final round...

Sahli Lao: It'll be okay... I just need to cross my fingers and hope for the best...

Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen! The final round is about to begin!

Sahli Lao: Oh no! Um... I mean, yes! Here I go!

Sahli Lao rises, but even from a distance it's clear that the Harvin is shaking.

Vyrn: Huh? Uh-oh. That doesn't look good.

Lyria: Oh my... I wonder if that's the result of nerves.

Sahli Lao: Sigh...

Announcer: Aha! The little Harvin with the crossbow! A competitor who has yet to miss! We just might see a perfect score today!

Sahli Lao: Just... one more!

Cat: Meow!

Announcer: What's this? Folks, it seems that a ferocious beast has made its way onto the field!

Sahli Lao: What! Oh no!

Sahli Lao's bolt barely grazes the target, which leaves the Harvin in second place.

Lyria: Congratulations on making it to the final round. You were so close to winning.

Vyrn: Yeah... If only that cat hadn't shown up...

Sahli Lao: Please don't fret over me! I do have some pride as a soldier, you know!

Lyria: Oh... I'm sorry...

Vyrn: Hey, we didn't mean any offense...

Sahli Lao: No, of course not. If anyone did anything wrong, it was me.

Sahli Lao: I've never done very well under pressure. My comrades used to call me the king of runner-ups.

Sahli Lao: The main point of my trip is actually to find a cure for my anxiety...

I understand completely.
No worries, Your Majesty!

Choose: I understand completely.

Vyrn: Don't worry about it. Everyone gets nervous under pressure.

Go to "Continue 1"

Choose: No worries, Your Majesty!

Vyrn: Hey! This is no laughing matter, (Captain)!

Continue 1

Sahli Lao: Ah, but I was so close to ridding myself of this affliction back when she was here...

Milleore is a crew member

Sahli Lao: There was another reason for my trip. I need to find one of my retired comrades, a selfish but extremely talented woman.

Milleore not in crew

Vyrn: Wait... Are you saying there are other Harvins who use crossbows?

Sahli Lao: That's right. And I'm looking for one. She's retired and a little selfish, but she's extremely talented.

Lyria: I see... That sounds like a woman to look up to!

Lyria: Sahli Lao. What would you say to the idea of joining our crew?

Lyria: We have many great warriors who could help you with your problem, and we might find your friend on our travels.

Sahli Lao: An interesting proposal... Until now I've been practicing alone...

Sahli Lao: But you might be right. To further improve, I need to surround myself with great warriors.

Vyrn: So it's decided then! Starting today you're officially one of the crew! Best of luck, big guy!

Sahli Lao: I'll try not to disappoint you, (Captain)!

A small warrior with an enormous crossbow, the nervous archer Sahli Lao was on a quest to overcome debilitating stage fright.

Milleore is a crew member

Milleore: Lao... You haven't changed a bit, have you?

Milleore: But maybe we're fated to be together. Things are about to get very interesting...

Vyrn: Hmm... Something seems a little odd about that guy, but I just can't put my claw on it...

The source of that unease is a story in and of itself, but maybe that's a tale for another time.

Back to top

That Person's Aura

The crew offers Sahli Lao a special training session, which includes a penalty for failure. This pressure triggers the Harvin's problems with anxiety, causing a stray bolt to wake up a monster sleeping nearby.

A small shadow stands against the night wind.

Sahli Lao's cloak billows out as the Harvin frets over stage fright.

Sahli Lao: Sigh...

Lyria: What's wrong, Lao?

Vyrn: Yeah, what's with the glum face?

Sahli Lao: So, Vyrn and Lyria... Do you think I've overcome my weakness at all?

Lyria: Huh? Hmm... I don't see any problems when we fight together.

Lyria: I'd actually say that there are times when everyone relies on you.

Vyrn: That's right! With you picking off targets using your huge crossbow, our jobs get a lot easier!

Sahli Lao: Is that right? I must admit that I do feel quite calm when I fight alongside you guys...

Sahli Lao: But there aren't many opportunities when I absolutely have to decide battles with one crucial shot.

Vyrn: I see... So you're saying that times like that are when you have trouble?

Sahli Lao: I think so... At least I've always failed at do-or-die situations in the past...

Vyrn: Well then! Sounds like you're a perfect candidate for some special training! Yep, it's decided!

Sahli Lao: Um... What?

Vyrn: Heh-heh, we'll start right after breakfast! (Captain), you can help too!

The next day, (Captain) and company bring Sahli Lao to a lush forest dominated by tall trees.

Sahli Lao: What in the world are we doing here?

Vyrn: Okay! This spot should be perfect, (Captain)!

As Vyrn says this, (Captain) and Lyria casually pull out a quiver of bolts and some apples.

Sahli Lao: What is this?

Vyrn: Heh-heh! These apples will be your targets!

Sahli Lao: Surely you don't mean...

Lyria: That's right! We'll use these to train! There are ten apples and ten bolts. You can't miss even once, okay?

Sahli Lao: Hee... Hee-hee...

Vyrn: Huh? What's so funny?

Sahli Lao: Oh, nothing. I'm just really grateful for your kindness.

Sahli Lao: But if I'm aware that it's only practice, there's no danger of my aim faltering.

Sahli Lao: Hmm... Perhaps if there were a penalty for missing...

Vyrn: A penalty, huh? That would certainly increase the pressure for you.

Sahli Lao: All right. You pick the penalty, (Captain). Anything you want.

Lyria: Um... Like going without dinner or something?

Sahli Lao: Hee-hee. I'd accept a harsher penalty than that. A soldier's word is their bond.

How about getting a buzz cut?
How about hitting on ten girls?

Choose: How about getting a buzz cut?

Sahli Lao: Huh?

Lyria: Hey, (Captain), what's a buzz cut? Huh? A hard-core haircut, you say?

Go to "Continue 1"

Choose: How about hitting on ten girls?

Sahli Lao: Wha?

Lyria: Hey, (Captain), what do you mean by that exactly? Huh? I'm better off not knowing?

Continue 1

Vyrn: Ha-ha! Good idea! Maybe it'll make you seem more like a tough guy, Lao!

Sahli Lao: ...

Vyrn: What?

Sahli Lao: Uh... I guess you're right. Very well then.

Sahli Lao: I mean, without at least that much risk, it wouldn't be proper training.

Lyria: Um... You don't really have to do this, okay?

Sahli Lao: It's fine! A soldier's word is their bond! I'll give it my all!

Vyrn: Yeah, well said! Let's do it!

The objective of the training is to hit the ten apples positioned around the forest with the ten bolts.

Sahli Lao: Two more to go! All right, I can do this!

Lyria: Well done! You're so fast!

Vyrn: Gulp... This is where it starts to get tough. You can do it, Lao!

Vyrn: Hey, he's shaking pretty bad...

Sahli Lao: Whoops!

The bolt grazes the side of the target, but luckily the force is still enough to split the apple cleanly in two.

Sahli Lao: Thank goodness! One more now!

Grouchy Monster: Grrr!

Sahli Lao: What?

The bolt Lao just shot, which disappeared into a nearby thicket, seems to have disturbed a sleeping creature.

Vyrn: Shoot! It was going so well too! All right, practice is canceled! Let's go, (Captain)!

That Person's Aura: Scene 2

After a speedy shadow saves Sahli Lao, the Harvin identifies the figure as a former colleague, Milleore.

Sahli Lao: Ugh... How pathetic! I suppose this really is all I amount to...

Lyria: Lao, watch out!

Sahli Lao: Huh?

Milleore: ...!

Sahli Lao: Wha?

Moving faster than the eye can see, a small shadow takes out the monster sneaking up on Lao from behind.

Sahli Lao: Milly?

Vyrn: Hey! A lot of big ones are coming this way! Be careful!

That Person's Aura: Scene 3

With courage bolstered by the presence of a former partner, Milleore, Sahli Lao takes out both the monsters and the training target in a single shot, thus avoiding any penalties and conquering any anxiety.

Vyrn: Lao! A bunch of them went over there!

Sahli Lao: Oh! Those bolts... Only one person can fire like that...

Sahli Lao: It's her! She's nearby!

Knowing that a former companion is nearby gives Lao courage, who is no longer trembling or breathing raggedly.

Sahli Lao: I think I'm okay now!

Sahli Lao: Here goes!

Lao closes both eyes, arms falling to the side and appearing almost defenseless.

Grouchy Monster: Grrr!

Sahli Lao: I see it! Right there!

Sahli Lao fires a bolt with such power that the surrounding targets are instantly destroyed... including the final apple.

Sahli Lao: Milly...

Vyrn: Awesome! That one really packed a punch!

Lyria: Whew... Thank goodness. Now Lao won't have to face the training penalty...

Vyrn: But you know, big guy... I still think it would improve your nerves in the long run if you tried something a little more aggressive?

Sahli Lao: ...

Vyrn: Hey, not again! What's with the silence?

Sahli Lao: Well, I didn't think it was so important, so I didn't correct you before, but...

Vyrn: Oh?

Lyria: Yes?

Sahli Lao: Well, it doesn't really matter. It's a common mistake, and it's really not worth worrying about.

Thus Sahli Lao overcomes potentially lethal anxiety and is able to maintain the pride of a soldier.

Milleore is a crew member

Milleore: Lao... I'm glad for you.

But Vyrn can't help but feel that there is still something amiss.

Back to top

Twin Arrows

The crew has picked up two Harvin archers, Milleore and Sahli Lao, who, it turns out, were once very close. Lyria asks if they are romantically involved, only to be told that Sahli Lao is in fact a woman, and that the two archers are merely old army comrades. The crew retains some skepticism on that point, seeing as Lao seems able to thaw Milleore's perfectly cool facade.

At one time there were two Harvin archers in (Captain)'s crew.

The crew has quickly come to depend on the unparalleled skill born of their natural agility.

They came to the crew independently, but upon meeting each other, it became clear that they had a history.

Sahli Lao: Milly? What are you doing here?

Milleore: Good to see you, Lao. How long has it been?

Sahli Lao: Ever since you left without so much as a goodbye. To find you on this airship, of all places...

Vyrn: Oh, do you two know each other?

Sahli Lao: Yes, we used to be very close. Milly, maybe now you can tell me—why did you leave the army?

Milleore: Soldierly camaraderie just wasn't my speed.

Milleore: More to the point, what are you doing here? What about the army?

Sahli Lao: Well... I took a break from the army. I'm on a journey of self-improvement, to rid myself of all my weaknesses.

Milleore: But you were doing so well in the army. And you're so sociable. Why would you decide to strike out on your own?

Sahli Lao: Um... Well...

Sahli Lao fills Milleore in on what has happened since Milleore left the army.

It turns out Sahli Lao cracked under pressure and failed the officer's exam, losing a chance for promotion.

Milleore: I see. That is a shame indeed.

Sahli Lao: And that's why I took the time off, to rid myself of this stage fright... But I'll cut this short. I know how much you hate long stories.

Milleore: I don't mind, at least this once. Anyway, it's nearly time to eat. Lao, what would you like?

Sahli Lao: Hehe, it's been a long time since you've asked me that. It really takes me back.

Milleore: I'm just trying to be efficient.

Milleore: A mercenary's life is a busy one. If you're going to spend the time listening to a long story, you might as well eat while you do.

Milleore: Speaking of which, I've heard of a place nearby that does excellent seafood. You like prawns, don't you?

Sahli Lao: Haha, you haven't changed a bit.

The two leave. Once installed on the terrace at the restaurant with their prawn platter, they lose themselves in conversation.

Sahli Lao: And that's how your quick decision saved the whole unit. I was so impressed.

Milleore: Hee hee, I'd almost forgotten about that.

Milleore breaks into a rare smile. Watching the pair from the shadows, the rest of the crew starts to speculate.

Vyrn: Hmm! I smell a romance brewing!

Lyria: You really think so?

Katalina: Hmm, I agree. Milleore doesn't smile like that at just anyone...

Vyrn: Ohh? I didn't think you were interested in love stories, Katalina.

Katalina: I merely thought we should be considerate of them, if that truly is the nature of their relationship.

(Captain) and the others are unable to come to a conclusion regarding their two crewmates' relationship. That night, Lyria decides to take the direct approach.

Lyria: Um, excuse me, Sahli Lao? Are you... um... Are you Milleore's boyfriend?

Milleore: Excuse me?

Sahli Lao: Wait... What?

Lyria: It's just, well... you parted ways so long ago, and found each other again on this airship...

Lyria: Hee hee. It's just so romantic!

Milleore: I think you've misunderstood. You do know that Lao is a woman, don't you?

Katalina: Oh... Oh! My apologies. We meant no offense.

Vyrn: Hey, don't you think you coulda told us earlier? It would've made things a lot less awkward now.

Sahli Lao: Well... It happens all the time, so I gave up correcting people after a while.

Sahli Lao: And you know, there are benefits to being mistaken for a man.

Milleore: Yes, I imagine that helps avoid quite a few hassles. Especially on the battlefield.

Milleore: But I think it would wear on me, personally. Doesn't it bother you to be thought of as a man?

Sahli Lao: Hmm... Lots of people have asked me that, but it's never bothered me at all.

Milleore: Good grief... You really haven't changed a bit.

Sahli Lao: Haha. That makes two of us.

Vyrn: So, wait. If you're not a couple, what's going on between you?

Milleore: We were born and raised on the same island. Nothing more.

Sahli Lao: Haha. We met in boot camp, and often trained together.

Sahli Lao: The whole time we were in the army, we worked well together and supported each other.

Sahli Lao: She did have a tendency to run off on her own and make me worry, but still, there's no one I'd rather have guarding my back.

Milleore: Please, you're making me blush.

Katalina: I never knew you had such a well-suited partner, Milleore.

Sahli Lao: We were inseparable and unbeatable. Milly would pin down the target with covering fire, and I'd pick them off.

Sahli Lao: Haha, no one could take out an enemy encampment like us. We were renowned in the army.

Vyrn: Uh-huh... You're both pretty tough on your own, but I guess three bows are better than one—or two!

Milleore: There just wasn't anyone else around strong enough to put my trust in, that's all.

Vyrn: So does that mean you guys are gonna join forces again?

Sahli Lao: What a good idea! I'd kinda hit a wall training on my own. Maybe this is what I've been missing!

Milleore: Agreed. I've been coming up against tougher and tougher monsters of late. I could use you by my side again.

Milleore: There's no one else I'd trust to be my partner. Glad to have you back, Lao.

Sahli Lao: Right back at you, Milly. I'm sure glad we bumped into each other like this.

With a firm handshake, Milleore and Sahli Lao renew their old partnership.

One person, however, seems to have lingering doubts.

Lyria: Errr...

Vyrn: What's wrong, Lyria?

Lyria: Well, um... You said you smelled a romance brewing, but Lao turned out to be a woman...

Lyria: So... Can she still be Milleore's boyfriend? I think I'm missing something...

Milleore: Lyria, weren't you listening? I said earlier that there was nothing romantic between us.

Lyria: Oh! That's right, you did! I guess I just... sort of wanted there to be.

Katalina: Agreed. If there's something more going on, you needn't hide it. You're among friends.

Milleore: Katalina, surely you of all people can see that we're just comrades in arms, nothing more?

Vyrn: Hm? Did you say something, Milleore?

Milleore: I said, Lao's nothing but my comrade in arms.

Vyrn: What? I didn't quite catch that.

Sahli Lao: Haha, Milly's always had a problem talking about mushy stuff like relationships—even soldierly ones. Look, she's blushing!

Milleore: Grrr...

Katalina: I see...

Milleore: Lao, do you want me to tell them more about your little "stage fright" problem?

Sahli Lao: What! N-no, there's no need to bring up ancient history like that!

Vyrn: Now I want to know what happened! Spill, spill!

Vyrn: I like this new, chatty Milleore!

They spend some time trying to silence each other's dirt-dishing, but eventually they move the conversation to a tavern, and later head back to their rooms on the Grandcypher side by side.

Though their differing personalities once separated them, this reunion gives the two archers a chance to reforge their bond even stronger than before.
