Halric 	......
 	
Alisaie 	...Thank you. What you're doing, it...it means a lot to them. To me.
Willfort 	...Sorry to interrupt. We, uh... We realized we hadn't thanked you for rescuing Halric.
Willfort 	...You weren't hurt at all, were you?
Alisaie 	Hurt...? There wasn't even a fight. I was too late. Too slow.
And I thought I could protect you...
Cassana 	You can't blame yourself for things beyond your control. You brought Halric back safe and sound─no one could have done any more.
Alisaie 	I'm sorry, but I've come to a decision: I won't be continuing in my role here.
Alisaie 	I hope you will forgive me for leaving you...and that you will delay Halric's last meal for as long as you possibly can.
Alisaie 	Not until it's too late, of course, just...give him what time you can.
Willfort 	We always do.
Alisaie 	Of course. She would have done the same.
Alisaie 	Farewell, Halric. Keep Tesleen's words close to your heart.
Cassana 	Wait! You're leaving this very moment? I understand how you must feel, but surely this is a bit hasty? Do you even have anywhere to go?
Alisaie 	I have a destination in mind, yes. And a purpose.
Alisaie 	This damned Light, building without cease... It's the reason we can't save those corrupted by the eaters.
Alisaie 	But what if we corrected the balance? Even if it were only little by little─even if it took years─it would surely make things better.
Willfort 	Now, hold on there. Everyone knows there's too much Light, but how could you ever hope to get rid of it? You'd have to change the whole world!
Alisaie 	That's right...
Alisaie 	We should return to the Crystarium. I may not be able to repel the eaters on my own...but I can still use the skills I have gained here to hurt them.
 	
Willfort 	Poor Alisaie... She was so close to Tesleen... I only hope she doesn't do something foolish.
 	
Cassard 	[Player Name]! Good to see you again! You look like you've a story or two to tell... But I sense you'd sooner get back to the Crystarium.
 	
Alisaie 	Forgive me, [Player Name]─I couldn't stay there a moment longer.
Alisaie 	But I was serious about what I said. While the men and women at the Inn battle against this blight with kindness, I must fight it in my own way. With steel.
Alisaie 	Gods above. It feels like an age ago now...
Cassard 	Miss Alisaie!? ...Is there anything I can get you?
Alisaie 	Your swiftest amaro! I need to return to the Crystarium─immediately!
Cassard 	A-As you wish!
 	
Cassard 	Ah, it's good to be back. Mord Souq has many charms, but there's nothing like a proper bed to recover from a long journey...as I'm sure you'd agree.
 	
Alisaie 	Ugh, remind me to wear goggles if we ever fly over Amh Araeng again. I've barely gotten the sand out of my eyes.
Alisaie 	...But the wind did help to clear my head at least.
Alisaie 	I think I'm ready to meet with the Exarch. We need to talk about how we're going to wipe the sin eaters out. Shall we?
 	
Mysteryvoice 	I see you were reunited with Alisaie, but I daresay you found little else to celebrate in Amh Araeng...
 	
Malphinaud 	Welcome back, [Player Name]. You will have to share the tale of your journey once the two of you are suitably rested.
 	
Alisaie 	Thank you for seeking me out, [Player Name]─it meant a lot to have you there at my side.
...I was tempted to set off again the moment we had decided upon a direction, but you have still to visit Alphinaud, haven't you?
Alisaie 	And if I know my brother, he'll be on the cusp of discovering something vital to our success─if he hasn't already. I'm content to stay here and consider our options for the time being─but don't keep me waiting too long, eh?
Alisaie 	Thank you for seeking me out, [Player Name]─it meant a lot to have you there at my side. And looking at Alphinaud, I'd say he's as eager to begin this discussion as I am.
Alisaie 	I say we lay our experiences before the Exarch, and step back to see what kind of picture they make. Then we can decide where to go from here.
