Alphinaud 	I've never thought myself much of an explorer, though I suppose my adventures have taken me to all sorts of strange and distant places. With that in mind, traversing an ice field should be a simple feat!
 	
Alisaie 	So, it's into the Eblan Rime we go. But where do we even start looking in such a place?
 	
Emmanellain 	What ho, chums! Been given something to do, have you? As it happens, I too have been ordered to make myself useful!
Alisaie 	Sounds like rather a tall order...
Alisaie 	Ahem. Since you ask, we're to scour the Eblan Rime for survivors.
Emmanellain 	What!? Wander around ice fields on the off chance you'll find someone!?
Emmanellain 	You'd take forever to finish the job without the benefit of my expertise─or more specifically, my telescope! Come friends, I know just the spot to begin our search!
Alisaie 	...I'll probably regret this, but we may as well humor him.
 	
Alphinaud 	The few buildings I can see don't appear to be residences. They may still warrant investigation, though.
 	
Alisaie 	I'm surprised by how many wild beasts there are roaming about the place. Perhaps now that the soldiers have gone, they're free to wander and forage as they please.
 	
Emmanellain 	I spy with my little telescope...
Emmanellain 	A massive...sheep-thing? Or maybe it's a cow? Not what we're after, either way.
...Is that an aether current? Ah, no, just a wind sprite.
Emmanellain 	Hmm... Other than that, it's all snow, snow, snow. But lo! What do I see o'er yon hillock?
Emmanellain 	There's no mistaking it. That's a girl.
Alphinaud 	A survivor!? Show me!
Emmanellain 	Over there, behind that tree. It looks like she's running away from something...though surely not us? She wouldn't even know we're here unless she had a telescope like mine.
Emmanellain 	All I can tell...is that...she's wearing a pale green dress...a rather fetching one, at that!
Alphinaud 	She'll be long gone by the time we get anywhere near, but we should be able to follow her footprints.
Emmanellain 	I'll let Lucia know where you're heading.
Emmanellain 	Oh, and take these warming tinctures with you!
Emmanellain 	The poor girl must be chilled to the bone, if not on the verge of freezing to death.
Alisaie 	That's...actually very thoughtful. Thank you. But won't you need some for yourself?
Emmanellain 	No, no! I'll be fine! As a man of chivalry, my honor demands I do no less. And lest we forget, the very reason we are here is to protect those in need.
Emmanellain 	Now go, and godsspeed!
 	
Emmanellain 	Why are you still here!? If you dally any longer, you will miss your chance to play the hero!
 	
Alphinaud 	According to the label here, this place was used by those involved with extracting ceruleum...
 	
Alisaie 	Hmm... Other than the footprints, I see no signs of recent activity.
 	
Alisaie 	We're getting closer. I'm sure of it.
Alisaie 	At first, we thought she'd gone inside the building, but the door doesn't look to have been opened in some time.
Alisaie 	She might still be nearby, so we'll keep looking around here.
Alisaie 	Then again, it's also possible that she ran right past this place. Would you mind searching up ahead?
 	
Alisaie 	As Emmanellain said, it's highly unlikely she was running away from us.
Alisaie 	Even so, we mustn't do anything to startle her. For all she knows, we're soldiers of an invading army, so we need to be careful not to give the wrong impression.
 	
Licinia 	Phew... Still in one piece...
Licinia 	Wh-Who are you!?
Licinia 	Stay back! This house is packed with explosives! Take another step and I'll blow this place sky high!
Alphinaud 	Please! We just want to talk!
Alphinaud 	I'm Alphinaud. This is my sister, Alisaie, and our good friend [Player Name].
Alphinaud 	We have no intention of hurting or taking anything from you or anyone else. I give you my word.
Alphinaud 	We and our comrades have come to provide aid to the people of Garlemald─
Licinia 	Aid!? You savages are the ones responsible for all of this! You did this to us!
Alisaie 	We didn't, I promise you. One of the other reasons we came was to find out what happened here, in fact.
Alisaie 	The Telophoroi are the ones to blame. They're the ones who laid waste to Garlemald, and they won't stop until they've destroyed the entire world. They're the enemy─our enemy.
Alphinaud 	On our way, we encountered imperial soldiers who had been made their thralls. Those poor souls are now in our care, and we are striving to cure them of their affliction.
Alphinaud 	You're the first person we've met who wasn't already enslaved... How were you able to escape the Telophoroi's influence? Are there any others like you?
Alphinaud 	...I'm sorry, I don't mean to overwhelm you. Let's start with introductions. Can you tell me your name?
Licinia 	I...my name's Licinia. As for how I've managed to stay sane...
Licinia 	I've been asking myself the same question. Ever since that night...and the roar, that terrible roar... And then the screams. I was screaming too, I think. I'm not sure. I can't remember.
Licinia 	Then came the silence. Everything was still.
Licinia 	It was like...waking up from a nightmare. I thought that maybe the fighting had stopped, so I stepped outside...
Licinia 	If your hells are real, I saw one that day.
Licinia 	I ran...past friends, people I'd known all my life. Eyes vacant. Dead. Staring at the sky.
Licinia 	Others were mad and violent. I saw them struggle with soldiers, but didn't stay to watch. I fled, as far as my legs would take me.
Alisaie 	Do you have family here? Is this their home?
Licinia 	No, this is Victors' Spoils. A mansion for retired soldiers. Or it was, but now me and my─me and a few others are, um, borrowing it.
Licinia 	As for the explosives...I was making that up.
Licinia 	I just wanted to keep everyone else safe, and I didn't know if you were... <sigh> The truth is, our supplies are running low. You said you're here to help. Can you?
Alphinaud 	Of course! Whatever assistance we can provide, we will.
Licinia 	Thank you. I'd better tell the others first, though. Wait here.
Licinia 	This is everyone.
Weakenedgarlean	Licinia says you can be trusted...but these are desperate times. We'd be fools to let foreign troops into our home.
Weakenedgarlean	Having said that...were you to provide us with means of heating the place─as a sign of goodwill─perhaps we could take you at your word...
Weakenedgarlean	If that is too much to ask, then leave us be.
Alphinaud 	Time to put my firewood-gathering skills to use. Could you provide the spark with a little magic, Alisaie?
Alisaie 	We'll have a fire burning in no time. May we build it under that gazebo?
Weakenedgarlean	The what...? Oh, you mean the bower. Yes, yes, do as you will.
Licinia 	...
