A Tale of Intersecting Fates - When the Cat's Away... - Episode 3
Yuri asks the pet shop owner about his lost cat, Rollo. The owner had picked up a cat matching his description, but had already sold him to the cat-loving lord of the island. To secure Rollo's return, the party hurries to the lord's manor.
Together with Yuri, (Captain)'s party was able to fight off the imperial troops and clear up the shopkeeper's misunderstanding.
For a moment, Yuri seemed lost in thought, but was soon his old self again, asking after his missing cat.
Yuri: His name's Rollo. His eyes are blue and he's a bit plump.
Shopkeep: Blue eyes... Plump...
Shopkeep: Yeah, I picked up a cat like that a few days ago!
Yuri: You did? Where is he now?
Shopkeep: Ah... That was the day the local lord came by the shop...
Eugen: Oh no. I don't like where this is going.
Shopkeep: He fell in love with that cat at first sight.
Vyrn: So what you're saying is... Rollo's not here anymore?
Shopkeep: I'm afraid not.
Yuri: Sigh... We just missed him?
Shopkeep: I told him that the cat looked like he'd been a pet, and that his owner might come by to claim him, but...
Lyria: Cheer up, everyone! At least now we know where Rollo is, right?
Yuri: I guess you've got a point there.
Yuri: Would you mind pointing us in the direction of the lord's manor?
Shopkeep: Oh, of course! I'll escort you there myself.
Yuri: I've already come this far... I don't want to make Elle cry by coming back without Rollo.
A Tale of Intersecting Fates - When the Cat's Away... - Episode 3: Scene 2
Yuri reunites with Rollo at the lord's manor. However, the lord has taken a liking to the cat, and refuses to give him up. Eugen asks the lord to let Rollo go in exchange for the party's services as skyfarers. He agrees, tasking the party with solving the mysterious cat disappearances.
Cat: Meow!
Lord: Well? Have you ever seen such lustrous fur? I brush his coat every day.
Lord: And this beauty here! I could stare into her mismatched eyes all day. Now, I'll direct your attention to the unusual mottling on this next one's nose.
Yuri: Sigh... This is probably what I should've expected from the lord of this island.
Vyrn: How long do you think he's gonna go on about his cats?
Yuri: I dunno. But I know once his type gets started, there's no stopping them. We just gotta grin and bear it.
Having been led to his manor by the pet shop owner, the party is visiting the lord who apparently took Rollo.
But they were quickly subjected to a boastful and seemingly endless introduction to all the lord's cats.
Cat: Meow!
Lord: Now, look at the paw pads on this one's feet. Have you ever seen such a vivid pink hue? That's a result of his special diet, which...
Eugen: Yawn.
Eugen: Hey, Yuri? I'm gonna catch a quick nap here. You mind waking me when we get to the point?
Yuri: Come on now. I sympathize, but antagonizing him isn't gonna make things—
Rollo: Meow!
Yuri: Rollo! I've been looking everyone for you!
Yuri: Huh? This guy's got you tied up?
Lord: Rollo? Is that this cat's former name?
Yuri: Yeah. We got separated a while back. I'm glad I finally found him! Come on, Rollo.
Rollo: Meow!
Lord: Hold it right there! Are you trying to abscond with one of my cats?!
Yuri: Huh? Your cat?
Lord: In the eyes of the law, he's mine now. I can't just let you take him.
Lyria: But... Yuri's been searching for him for so long!
Vyrn: That's right! Rollo's his cat! Did you miss that part?
Lord: This cat may have been his, but now it's mine. How I treasure its magnificent girth!
Yuri: Sigh... I had a feeling this wasn't gonna be so easy.
Eugen: Look, your lordship... I'm sure we can settle this like civilized men.
Eugen: We understand what you're saying, and we're willing to work something out.
Eugen: Fortunately, we're one of the best skyfarer crews in the business. Maybe you could use our help with something?
Lord: Hmmm... Interesting.
Reluctantly, the lord agrees to relinquish Rollo on one condition...
That the party discover the source of the recent cat disappearances and put a stop to it.
Yuri: So this is where most of the cat disappearances seem to have occurred.
Lyria: Yikes. That gives me the shivers...
Yuri: Thanks for working out this deal, Eugen.
Eugen: Har! Figured I'd better take charge, you being a bit of a hothead and all. Not that I'm much better...
Eugen: Still, these wrinkles came with at least a little wisdom. I know how to handle these situations now.
Yuri: Well, I sure owe you one.
Vyrn: And now we'll finally be able to get Rollo back!
Eugen: Well... I wouldn't get too confident about that yet. I got kind of a bad feeling about this place...
Yuri: Yeah, it feels like anything could happen in a place like this. We'd better be on guard, (Captain)!
