Gems and a Girl's Best Friend
After learning that her friend Therese is dueling to beat a winning streak record, De La Fille convinces (Captain) and the crew to go visit the Jewel Resort where the match is being held. De La Fille inspires confidence in the timid Therese, but Ladiva seems eager to break her streak. De La Fille bets all her money on Therese in support.
...
De La Fille: Dear, oh dear. To think she'd keep something so important from me...
De La Fille gives a heavy sigh on the deck of the Grandcypher as she reads a letter she's received.
De La Fille: Well, standing around won't do. I should speak with (Captain)!
Vyrn: You wanna go to the casino liner? What's come up all of a sudden?
De La Fille: I've been invited to a party at the Jewel Resort, you see!
Any version of Therese is a crew member
De La Fille: Therese will appear in a special duel held during the party. So I want to cheer for her from the crowd!
Lyria: Now that you mention it, Therese said the other day she'd be returning to the casino liner for a bit.
Vyrn: Yeah, I remember that! But what's all this about a special duel?
De La Fille: It's a match to see if Therese can beat the winning streak record.
Vyrn: Beat the record? That'd be incredible!
Vyrn: But wait a sec! Why'd she have to go and keep this all a secret from us?
De La Fille: She's quite shy, you know. Perhaps she couldn't bring herself to talk about it with you.
Vyrn: Oh, well that figures. She's as sheepish as they come unless she's dueling.
De La Fille: Yes, yes! So would you mind if we stopped by the Jewel Resort?
Lyria: Yeah, (Captain)! Can we go?
Lyria: I want to cheer for Therese too!
(Captain) nods and smiles in agreement.
Vyrn: Great! Let's get going then!

De La Fille: A friend of mine will appear in a special duel held during the party. So I want to cheer for her from the crowd!
Vyrn: Oh yeah? I see now. But what's all this about a special duel?
De La Fille: It's a match to see if she can beat the winning streak record.
Vyrn: That's incredible!
De La Fille: Yes! That's why I'm asking you for this favor.
Vyrn: Come on, (Captain)! Let's go check it out!
Vyrn: I can't wait to see how this duel goes down!
(Captain) nods and smiles in agreement.
De La Fille: Thank you kindly, (Captain)!
(Captain) and the crew arrive with De La Fille at the casino liner.
Lyria: Wow! This place has more glitz than usual!
De La Fille: It's a Jewel Resort party after all. It's nothing if not dazzling.
De La Fille: Now, I'll have to take my leave for a while. You all go ahead inside!
Vyrn: Huh? Wait! Where are you off to?
De La Fille: I'm off to change of course! One must look the part for a party, you know.
Lyria: What does she mean by look the part?
Vyrn: Beats me!
Any version of Therese is a crew member
Therese: Welcome aboard... th-the Jewel Resort...
Lyria: Huh? Is that you, Therese?
Therese: What are y-you doing here!
Vyrn: Hey... What's with the getup?
Therese: It's not what you think! It's for the match later today...
Therese: So I have a reason for wearing this!
Lyria: It's really... for the match?
Therese: Oh! Well, um... I mean...
Vyrn: What's wrong? You seem kind of nervous.
Therese: Well... Since it's you, (Captain), I suppose I can let it slip.
Therese: But please keep this a secret from the other resort visitors.
Therese leans in close to (Captain)'s ear, but Lyria and Vyrn lean in to listen as well.
Therese: Truth is, Lady Christy made me do it. She wants to bring a thrill to the show, so first I'll greet visitors while dressed like this...
Therese: Then when the match begins, I'll jump in and surprise the crowd.
Vyrn: I got ya... You're gonna fight dressed like that, huh? That'll give the crowd a good shock!
Lyria: Yeah! And no one would think that a sweet bunny could be so strong!
Therese: So that's why I'm greeting visitors like this until the match starts.
Therese: But I'm just not good at public speaking... Especially dressed like this.
Vyrn: Poor Therese...
Vyrn: Wait! Scratch that! Why didn't you tell us anything about the duel?
Vyrn: That's cold, don't you think?
Therese: I was too embarrassed. I don't even know if I can win.
De La Fille: That sort of timid thinking will get you nowhere! You must have confidence!
Therese: Fille!
De La Fille: If you don't, then you'll never be able to win anything, my dear.
Vyrn: Nope! We're just waiting on someone. But you've got a neat outfit there!
???: Yes, well... the owner of the casino liner, Lady Christy, told me to wear this while I greet guests.
???: But I'm so embarrassed... and I'm terrible at public speaking...
Vyrn: I'm not sure what you mean, but I can see you're having a hard time.
???: Ha-ha... Well, you got me there...
Lyria: Gosh, it seems like De La Fille is taking a while to come back.
???: What? De La Fille? Are you all friends of hers?
De La Fille: They're members of the crew I've joined, you see!
???: Fille!
De La Fille: It's good to see you, Therese. That wardrobe suits you. You look adorable!
Therese: Ah...
Lyria: Is she a friend of yours, De La Fille?
De La Fille: Yes. A dear friend of mine!
De La Fille introduces Therese to (Captain) and the crew.
Lyria: So Therese is your duelist friend you were talking about before, right?
Vyrn: But this is a surprise! I'd never have taken you for a master duelist!
Lyria: Good luck with your match today! I'll be cheering as loudly as I can!
Therese: Thank you!
De La Fille: By the way, Therese, why didn't you invite me to the duel today?
De La Fille: It's your big moment after all! And if I hadn't received that letter from the casino liner, I'd never have come.
Therese: I was too embarrassed. I don't even know if I can win.
De La Fille: That sort of timid thinking will get you nowhere! You must have confidence!
De La Fille: If you don't, then you'll never be able to win anything, my dear.
De La Fille: You agree, don't you, (Captain)?
De La Fille: Oh, now what's gotten into you? Why are you staring at me like that?
Choose: You look enchanting in that dress!
De La Fille: Huh? Well, of course I do!
Vyrn: What's wrong? Your face is all red.
De La Fille: No, it's not! I'm perfectly fine!
De La Fille: Receiving compliments from (Captain) doesn't make me blush with glee or anything!
Vyrn: But where'd you get that dress anyway? Is it a rental?
Choose: You look like a real noble!
Vyrn: You said it. She looks like one of those fancy ladies you see in a fairy tale book!
De La Fille: But let's not forget that I come from a long line of nobility... I'm royalty, in fact!
Vyrn: You're right! I almost forgot...
Vyrn: But where'd you get that dress anyway? Is it a rental?

De La Fille: No, no! I made it myself! Buying dresses can get expensive, you see.
De La Fille: So I took some clothes I don't wear anymore and turned them into a whole new outfit.
De La Fille: It didn't cost me much money. And more importantly it's a design I can truly call my own!
De La Fille: I think it came out superb, if I say so myself!
Vyrn: Poor Fille...
De La Fille: What did you say? How about a warmer reaction!
De La Fille: It's not as if I... m-made the dress because I couldn't afford one myself!
De La Fille: I'm still royalty, you know. But as a role model for the common citizen, I must sometimes demonstrate the virtues of frugality.
Vyrn: All right. We got it already...
De La Fille: Then don't look at me with such pity in your eyes!
Vyrn: Look, the point is that you changed into a fancy dress. You could've worn your regular clothes.
De La Fille: As a royal of the Gem Domain, I could never attend a party if I'm not dressed in the proper attire.
De La Fille: And it's Therese's time to shine. I want to cheer her on wearing my choice finery!
Therese: Oh, Fille!
De La Fille: Good luck! If anyone can break the record, it's most certainly you, Therese!
Therese: Thanks! I'll be sure to win today's duel just for you, Fille!
Any version of Ladiva is a crew member
Ladiva: Heh-heh... That's love for you! And I guess that makes little old me the test that stands in the way of her love.
Lyria: Oh! It's Ladiva!
Vyrn: Hey, when you say test, do you mean the person dueling Therese...
Ladiva: That's right. It's me!
Lyria: Oh dear! What should we do? Who should we cheer for?
Vyrn: Well, can't we cheer for them both?
De La Fille: Come now! A record is on the line! We should be cheering for Therese of course! Right?
(Captain) can only smile and shrug.
No version of Ladiva in crew
???: It's looove!
Vyrn: Whoa there!
Lyria: Ah! You surprised me!
???: Oh my, I'm so sorry. I felt the love coming from Therese just now and I couldn't help myself...
Lyria: Well, uh...
Ladiva: I guess I startled you! My name is Ladiva, and I'm a duelist here at the Jewel Resort.
Ladiva: I'll be dueling against Therese in the match today. I hope you'll come and watch!
Vyrn: Oh! You're in the match, huh?
Therese: Ladiva, I hate to disappoint you, but I'm going to win the duel today!
Therese: There's no way I'll let Fille see me lose!
De La Fille: That's the spirit, Therese!
Ladiva: Heh-heh, how lovely! But I won't lose either! So duel me with everything you've got!
Ladiva: Besides that, you look so cute today! It must be from all this love you're getting!
De La Fille: If you think Therese's outfit is cute, then you must have an eye for aesthetics!
Ladiva: Heh-heh, how flattering.
Staff: Ladiva! Therese! It's almost time to begin.
Ladiva: Thanks for letting us know!
Let's go then, Therese.
Let's go then, Therese.
Therese: A-all right...
Staff: Come and place your bets for tonight's matchup between Ladiva and Therese!
De La Fille: I'm betting all I've got on Therese!
Vyrn: Whoa!
De La Fille: Don't worry. This is money I set aside for a little fun.
Vyrn: If you say so. But I'm not sure about betting all of it...
De La Fille: I believe in Therese, you see. And it's but a small sacrifice if it means I can be here to support her.
As De La Fille asserts her decision, (Captain) can only smile and shrug.
They all attend the match between the fierce duelists, gripped by the excitement of the fight.
