Dialogue

Optional

Alphinaud: Alisaie will make a full recovery, but I doubt she will be well enough to take to the field again before this is over.

M'naago: I'll never get used to it, killing my own countrymen. In the hear of battle, it's either you or them, but after...when you've had time to think about what you've done...

Stark Woad: I can imagine how you must feel, but I want you to know that many of us here are grateful for what you did at Castrum Abania.

Accepting the Quest

Lyse: I've been thinking. If Alisaie needs more time to heal, maybe we should move her to Rhalgr's Reach. 
Lyse: She can receive much better care there, after all. Our infirmary is probably the best place for her, short of sending her to Gridania. 

Alphinaud: Indeed. And given what Mistress Woad has told us, I would rather she did not remain here. 

Lyse: Then it's settled. Naago, go and see about getting us a carriage and an escort. Alphinaud, you should get your sister ready for the journey. 
Lyse: [Forename], would you mind going on ahead and telling Orella that we're on our way? I want a bed waiting for Alisaie when she arrives. Thanks. 

Optional

Stark Woad: They'll learn what it means to live free. We'll teach them. Together.

Lyse: Must seem strange seeing me doling out orders. But not half as strange as it feels to do it, let me tell you.

Speaking with Orella at Rhalgr's Reach

Orella: Hm? Do you require assistance? 
Orella: Very well, we will make ready to receive the patient at once. Give me a hand, would you? 

Cutscene

Orella: There. All crisp and freshly laundered. 

Alphinaud: We're here. Is everything in order?  
Alphinaud: Right. We're bringing her in. 

Alisaie: Honestly, Alphinaud, you needn't have gone to all this trouble... 

Alphinaud: What can I say? It seemed a good way to discourage you from limping off to battle when my back was turned. Listen to Orella, please. You need your rest. 

Alisaie: I know, I know... 
Any news of Krile? She'll be cross if you make her wait too long. As will I. 

Alphinaud: Hah. A chilling prospect indeed.... I'll find her, Sister. And I'll fight twice as hard—for the both of us. 

Lyse: They're good together...when they're not at each other's throats. I miss that feeling... 
Lyse: [Forename]—I have a favor to mask. Would you mind waiting outside for me? I won't be a moment. 

Optional

Alisaie: I should have been there with you to the end. If only I hadn't been so reckless...

Alphinaud: We'll find Krile and bring her home. After all, I need her to tell you to stay in bed.

Waiting for Lyse (Cutscene)

Lyse: Sorry to have kept you waiting... 
Lyse: Well, what do you think? I know it's a bit old-fashioned...but in a traditional sort of way. Yda wore it whenever she could...
Lyse: Not that I'm pretending to be her or anything! Not again. It's just...if this is the last battle we fight to free Ala Mhigo, then she ought to be a part of it. 

< What will you say? >
< It suits you. >
< It's not quite your style... >
< ... >

< It suits you. >
Lyse: It's nice of you to say so. Aaand a bit embarrassing. But mostly nice.

< It's not quite your style. >
Lyse: Oh, I know, right? All these stupid frills everywhere...

< ... >
Lyse: Well don't just stand there gawping! If you don't like it, just say so! 

(All)
Lyse: Anyway, the real reason I asked you here was to sneak in a warm-up before the final battle. 
Lyse: There's this place I know where monks used to spar as part of their training. Care to join me?  

Speaking with Lyse

Lyse: <pant> <pant> Maybe we got a little carried away...But you have to admit that was fun. 
Lyse: Thank you, [Forename]. You're the best kind of friend—the kind that's not afraid to knock some sense into you.
