Awakening - Norg
Gilgamesh: Arrrg, I see you made it back safe 'n sound.
Gilgamesh: Yer story won't be goin' down in the annals of history, but there are some things that best go unknown.
Gilgamesh: Though if it weren't fer you, we'd all be sleepin' down in Davy Jones' locker. Ya have me thanks, matey.
Gilgamesh: As fer Lion... Aldo came and gave me all the details on what she did.
Gilgamesh: What was she thinkin', goin' off and gettin' herself killed before her own father...
Gilgamesh: She washed up on shore here when she was still just a wee lass. Nobody knew where she came from...
Gilgamesh: But that wasn't uncommon during the Great War. Many a life was torn apart back then.
Gilgamesh: And when me father told me I was t'take care of her...well, I can tell ya, I wasn't ready fer that.
Gilgamesh: But raisin' Lion taught me a lot about the world. If it wasn't fer her, I wouldn't be the man I be today.
Gilgamesh: I never knew what she thought about her father bein' a pirate...
Gilgamesh: But I can tell you one thing--I be mighty damn proud to have her as a daughter.
Boss is Back - Lower Jeuno
Yin Pocanakhu: Hold up there, Player name. Where's Aldo? You didn't just leave him on that cursed island to die, did you?
Garnev: If anything has happened to your boss, don't even think you'll be leaving here alive!
Aldo: What's with the long faces? You guys look like you just got back from a funeral!
Sattal-Mansal: Boss!
Yin Pocanakhu: You're...still alive!
Aldo: Did you really think that I, the great Aldo, would flop at the hands of a couple worms like those Zilart?
Aldo: It wasn't easy, but thanks to Player name here, the princes were no match for us!
Aldo: Thanks again, Player name. You did really well up there.
Aldo: The first time you came through my doors, you were nothing but a little punk. 
But now, lok at you. You've matured into a fine adventurer.
Aldo: Not as fine as yours truly...but close.
Verena: Aldo!
Aldo: Verena!
Sattal-Mansal: Miss Verena!
Verena: Aldo, you're all right! 
I've been praying every moment of every day for your safe return.
Aldo: I'm sorry I kept you worrying.
Verena: But... Where's Lion? Is she here, or did she go back to Norg?
Aldo: Verena... 
Lion's...gone.
Verena: What do you mean, gone?
Aldo: Lion... Lion traded her life to stop Eald'narche's plan...
Verena: No!
Verena: She can't be... She just can't be gone! What did she do to deserve this!?
Aldo: Verena... 
Lion fought bravely that day. Her sacrifice saved millions of lives.
Verena: So what!? Nothing we say can bring he back! She's...
Verena: Why does everyone have to suffer!? What did Lion--what did Fickblix do to deserve their pain? I don't want to forget what they went through...
Aldo: I'm sorry, Verena.
Verena: ...?
Verena: I-I can feel something... This warmth... Lion? Is that you?
Verena: It is you, isn't it...
Verena: Aldo, Lion is still alive. I can feel it. She's weaker than before, but she's still with us.
Aldo: You may be right, Verena. And if there's any shred of hope, the least we can do is continue to believe.
Aldo: So, Player name.
Aldo: As much as I'd love you to join us here at the Tenshodo, I think I already know your answer to that offer. But if you're ever in the neighborhood, be sure to drop by. You're always welcome.
Aldo: Well, I think it's time I took that vacation I've been promising myself. You should go someplace quiet and get some rest as well. 
I have a feeling that the real adventure has just begun...
