Mind If I Join You?
Beatrix has a bad habit of always acting alone, although she always manages to finish her missions. Zeta and Vaseraga attempt to convince her to work with others. She responds to their concerns by joining (Captain)'s crew.
Beatrix belongs to the Society, which hunts primal beasts. She recently journeyed to a land of extreme cold in search of glory…
But she was captured by enemies, and all contact with her has been lost since.
With the help of Zeta and Vaseraga, who also belong to the Society, the crew heads out to rescue Beatrix.
They manage to free her, win the ensuing battle, and return her to the Grandcypher. But no toasts are raised…
Zeta: I'm getting sick of you always rushing headlong into danger by yourself.
Beatrix: Look, I said I'm sorry…
Although Beatrix is still recovering from her injuries, Zeta finds ample time to lecture her.
Vyrn: Hey, why don't you leave it there, Red? Blue already said she's sorry, and—
Zeta: Oh, she's not sorry at all! It takes more than this to make her rethink her bad decisions!
Zeta: This girl just does whatever she feels like—and it gets hers into trouble!
Zeta: Getting captured? That's like a normal Tuesday for her!
Lyria: What? Really?
Vaseraga: Yeah, but even though she's always digging herself into pretty deep holes, somehow she manages to finish her missions.
Vyrn: Wow! That's pretty impressive!
Beatrix: Ha! You see?
Lyria: But I still don't think it's good for you to keep getting captured…
Beatrix: Who cares as long as I can escape? I'm a pro at slipping out of ropes and breaking locks and stuff.
Beatrix proudly whips out a rope.
Beatrix: I'll show you what I mean. Tie me up as tight as you want. I'll get out of it easily.
Beatrix: Huh? Did you even try? This is too easy…
Beatrix: See?
Vyrn: Wow! That's crazy! It's already loose! How'd you do that?
Beatrix: Heh-heh… and now…
After a bit of squirming , Beatrix escapes the rope .
Choose: Tie her up as tight as you can.
Beatrix: Ugh…
Beatrix: ((Captain), you really didn't hold back, did you? This is ridiculously tight…)
Beatrix: Oof… This is… a toughie all right…
Beatrix: But if I… do this…
After a bit of squirming, Beatrix escapes the rope.
Beatrix: Hehe… What do you think of that!
Vyrn: W-wow… amazing! Wow… Amazing! But it did look kind of painful…
Beatrix: No, heh, not at all! It was easy—way too easy!

Zeta: Sigh…
Looking exasperated, Zeta raps Beatrix on the head.
Beatrix: You don't have to hit me!
Zeta: …Listen, Bea. No matter how well you can wiggle out of ropes, there's no guarantee it'll always go that well.
Beatrix: That's not true! It always goes well! Perfectly!
Zeta: What's perfect about it? You were crying like a baby when I retrieved you last time.
Beatrix: No I wasn't! There was… um… something in my eye…
Beatrix: And if I'd had little more time, I would have got out of it by myself…
Zeta: Liar! Stop acting so conceited! There's no way you would have made it by yourself! Are you really that stupid?
Beatrix: Wha! What did you just call me?
Vaseraga: Cut it out, the both of you. Zeta, you've said too much.
Vaseraga: But Beatrix. I hope you understand why she's being so hard on you.
Beatrix: Ugh… Well…
Vaseraga: You're strong, and you've got an unbreakable will. But that's also your weakness.
Vaseraga: Your strength is what allows you to fight alone… It's what drives you to fight alone.
Beatrix: …
Vaseraga: But there's a limit to how much a lone wolf can do without their pack. Just as you found out on the last mission.
Vaseraga: When your back is pushed against the wall, look to your partners for cues and you'll know what to do.
Vaseraga: This conversation's getting too long. I'll leave you with one final thought: stop acting in haste.
Beatrix: …All right…
Beatrix: Maybe I am too reckless… And no matter how hard I go, it's not like I'll ever get back the things I've lost…
Beatrix: I'm sorry I worried you two…
Zeta: Bea…
Beatrix bows her head in apology.
A silence descends on the room. Beatrix, sensing the awkwardness in the atmosphere, raises her head.
Beatrix: By the way, Zeta and Vaseraga, what kind of relationship do you two have with (Captain)?
Vaseraga: (Captain) has fought alongside us before.
Zeta: We fought together against a primal beast a while back.
Beatrix: A primal beast? (Captain), could you tell me more?
(Captain) explains that the crew is defeating primal beasts to collect Sky Map pieces, all in hopes of one day reaching Estalucia, Island of the Astrals.
Beatrix: Estalucia? I see…
Beatrix: Hey, (Captain)! Take me with you on your journey! Let me take out the primal beasts!
With a loud sigh, Zeta smacks Beatrix's again.
Beatrix: Hey! Stop that already!
Zeta: Geez… When are you gonna learn?
Beatrix: I have! That's why I'm not going alone this time. I'm going to hunt primal beasts with (Captain)!
Beatrix: Then we'd all get our way, right?
Vaseraga: …That's not a bad idea. This unruly mess of a girl will be safer with (Captain) and the others than on her own.
Zeta: Hmm… Well, you have a point, but still…
Beatrix: Right? Hehe… It's settled, then! Let me in your crew!
Beatrix: Wha? Why not?
Beatrix: With me at your side, we can take out loads of primal beasts? I'll be a great help!
Zeta: Maybe if you asked more politely? Hehehe… You can start by bowing your head.
Choose: Is that any way to ask a favor?
Beatrix: What do you mean?
Zeta: Hehehe… Well, you certainly are asking a big favor. You want them to let you join the crew, right? You should ask more politely…
Beatrix: Ugh… So what do you want me to do?
Zeta: Hehe… Just use your manners, like bowing your head.

Beatrix: Bow my head? Grrr…
Looking mortified, Beatrix bows her head before (Captain).
Beatrix: Let me be one of your companions… um… pretty please?
Vyrn: Hey, (Captain)… Maybe you should stop messing with her now…
Beatrix: Messing with me? (Captain)! You were playing with me?
Zeta: Haha! Nice one, (Captain)! Already bullying Beatrix… It's like we've all been working together for years!
Vaseraga: Leave it there or she might start crying.
Beatrix: No I won't! What's with you all? Stop making fun of me!
They all give a good-natured smile to the beet-red Beatrix.
Everyone is all smiles as the indomitable swordswoman Beatrix is welcomed into the crew.
But despite the cheerful moment, (Captain) will soon learn to cast a critical eye on her obsession with glory.
