*Fadahl: Demons from the world of Ishgria...? This is troublesome...
*Fadahl: But why now?
 	
*Fadahl: ...... I see, there's not enough information to speculate as to that, yet...
 	
*Quaid: Seeing that look on your face tells me you didn't hear very good news, Fadahl. 
*Quaid: Well? What did the oracle say?
 	
*Fadahl: Quaid...?
 	
*Fadahl: ...... I thought I told you to be here beforehand.
 	
*Quaid: Did you? Sorry 'bout that.
 	
*Quaid: I would have, but when you're having an oracle read by priests...
*Quaid: ...all the traditions and rules are such a pain.
*Quaid: I'm just not good with stuff like that.
 	
*Fadahl: Just because you aren't, doesn't mean I am!
 	
*Fadahl: Good grief...
 	
*Fadahl: Well, anyway...let's get back to everyone.
*Fadahl: I'll explain what I heard when we get there.

*Diana: I wonder what it could be about...
 	
*Diana: I hope it wasn't anything too bad...
 	
*Claire: There's no good or bad in a message from the Holy Emperor.
*Claire: You shouldn't say such things, Diana.
 	
*Diana: You're right. I apologize.
*Diana: But, what if it's something that requires us to take action?
*Diana: I'd rather not have that happen.
 	
*Claire: That's...a good point.
 	
*Colt: No matter what the oracle says...
*Colt: ...we, as Guardians of Meirith, will fulfill our duties to the fullest extent.
 	
*Colt: Isn't that right, Sis?
 	
*Ivris: Still love your sister as much as ever? You really do never change, Colt.
*Ivris: If only you could get along that well with Quaid as well.
 	
*Colt: Wh-What are you saying?!
*Colt: What the heck does that guy have to do with anything?
 	
*Ivris: Why, you ask?
 	
*Ivris: What do you think, Claire?
 	
*Claire: Wh-Why are you asking me...?
 	
*Claire: But...yes...
*Claire: Colt, I'm aware that you and Quaid have a sense of rivalry between you for some reason.
*Claire: That in itself, is not a bad thing.
*Claire: But try not to overdo it.
*Claire: We are all comrades in the service of Lord Karna Masta.
 	
*Claire: And besides, Quaid has times when he proves useful too, doesn't he?
 	
*Colt: ...... All right, I get it... Um, Sis...
 	
*Ivris: It seems you two don't really understand...
 	
*Quaid: Hi, everyone.
 	
*Fadahl: Are we all here?
 	
*Claire: Quaid, Fadahl, what kind of oracle have we been blessed with?
 	
*Quaid: Sorry. I arrived too late! Didn't hear a thing.
*Quaid: Ask Fadahl.
 	
*Colt: Quaid, you little...!
*Colt: Do you think the duties of Meirith are a joke?!
 	
*Quaid: Ha ha, like I said, I'm sorry.
 	
*Fadahl: Getting angry at him won't solve anything.
 	
*Fadahl: More importantly, about the oracle...
 	
*Diana: ...... Oh dear, are you going to tell us it wasn't good news?
 	
*Fadahl: It's hard to tell at this point whether it's good or bad, exactly.
 	
*Claire: ...... Tell us about it.
