### An Honest Living

*Travis's former crew attempts to live honest lives, but things do not go as smoothly as he hoped...*

* **Geela**: Travis!
* **Geela**: I heard you were involved in a fight earlier in town. Is that true?
* **Travis**: W-well, y'see...
* **Geela**: You simply cannot use violence against innocent townspeople!
* **Geela**: You told us you had a change of heart and washed your hands of banditry, did you not?
* **Travis**: ......
* **Travis's Former Henchman (M) A**: You got it all wrong, Miss Geela!
* **Travis's Former Henchman (M) A**: There's a real good reason it came to blows!
* **Geela**: ...Is there now?
* **Travis's Former Henchman (M) A**: We've been workin' honest jobs since getting pardoned by Lord Serenoa, y'see.
* **Travis's Former Henchman (M) A**: But then a bunch o' those awful money lenders got wind of it...
* **Travis's Former Henchman (M) B**: And started tellin' everyone we was bandits just to spite us.
* **Travis**: Then these fellas got booted from their jobs 'cause of that.
* **Travis**: I know how hard they were workin' to turn over a new leaf, so I went over there, and...
* **Travis**: Please, you gotta believe me!
* **Travis**: Our days of thievin' are in the past! We're honest folk now!
* **Saltmonger**: Once a thief, always a thief. Men's hearts don't change so easily.
* **Saltmonger**: Besides, weren't you their leader? From what I hear, your daughter was a dirty thief as well.
* **Travis**: That...that was all my doin'. Poor girl had no choice in the matter!
* **Saltmonger**: Do you take me for a fool? You two robbed people together!
* **Saltmonger**: She's got a scoundrel's blood in her, and always will. Same goes for all of you filthy thieves!
* **Travis**: I'd choose my next words carefully if I were you. Say whatever you will 'bout me...
* **Travis**: But another word against my daughter or my mates and they might be yer last!
* **Saltmonger**: Threaten me all you like, it won't change a thing.
* **Saltmonger**: You were born scoundrels. Admit it—you've already helped yourself to some of my wares, haven't you?
* **Travis**: You bastard!
* **Geela**: I had no idea...
* **Travis**: But you're right. I'm just a big fool makin' an even bigger mess o' things.
* **Travis**: Bein' honest's a whole lot harder than thievin', I'll tell ye that...
* **Travis's Former Henchman (M) A**: But, Boss...you did what you could...
* **Travis's Former Henchman (M) B**: Always thinkin' of us... Yer the best, Boss...
* **Travis**: No, I owe you an apology.
* **Travis**: You were tryin' so hard, and I'm just sittin' around here gripin'!
* **Travis**: This's all my fault.
* **Travis**: And I'm gonna set it right. Just give me some time!
* **Geela**: Travis...
* **Geela**: Thank you for telling me what happened. I will speak to Lord Serenoa and Lady Frederica on the matter.
* **Geela**: In exchange, you must promise never to resort to violence again. Understood?
* **Travis**: I swear it. Thanks, Miss Geela.

### Bandit Boss

*The people look upon the former bandits with contempt. Travis seeks out the employer of his former crewmates.*

* **Travis**: I can't thank you two enough.
* **Hossabara**: You needn't thank me. We're just helpin' each other out, no?
* **Hossabara**: You needn't thank me. We're just helpin' each other out, no?
* **Jens**: Indeed. I was in need of a few extra hands, so the help is more than welcome.
* **Jens**: Indeed. I was in need of a few extra hands, so the help is more than welcome.
* **Travis**: Still...I owe you two. I promise I won't forget this.
* **Geela**: Was that Hossabara and Jens? It seems you've been busy these days.
* **Travis**: I had some favors to ask of 'em.
* **Travis**: Ever since my crew lost their jobs, I've been tryin' to help 'em find new ones.
* **Travis**: Then one day it hit me: I could have 'em work for those guys.
* **Travis**: They trust my crew and could keep a close eye on 'em.
* **Geela**: I see. An admirable plan, if I do say so myself.
* **Travis**: I thought the ones good with their hands could work at the smithy, 'n' the talkers who know their liquor at Hossabara's tavern.
* **Travis**: Those two agreed without a second thought. Can't thank 'em enough.
* **Geela**: It couldn't have happened without you, Travis. You know your crew's merits better than anyone else.
* **Geela**: And thanks to all your hard work lately, it seems both the tavern and smithy are back in business.
* **Travis**: For a while, I wasn't sure what would happen to us, but it looks like we might be makin' an honest livin' after all.
* **Travis**: That's half a weight off my mind.
* **Geela**: Would the other half happen to be your daughter?
* **Travis**: Trish was born into the bandit life 'cause of me.
* **Travis**: All she knows is thievin', so it ain't easy for her to just start livin' an honest life all of a sudden...
* **Travis**: I wonder how she's doin' now. I just hope she ain't sad.
* **Geela**: I don't think there's anything for you to worry about. She is your daughter, after all.
* **Travis's Former Henchman (M) A**: Yeah, Boss!
* **Travis**: What're you doin' here? I don't need you to cheer me up over my own daughter.
* **Travis's Former Henchman (M) B**: Boss, I heard somethin' 'bout that merchant what upset you the other day.
* **Travis's Former Henchman (M) B**: They said he was sulkin' around town with lumps the size o' melons on his head!
* **Travis**: I-it wasn't me! I swear!
* **Geela**: Then that must mean...
* **Travis's Former Henchman (M) A**: It's gotta be Trish!
* **Travis's Former Henchman (M) B**: There's no way she'd let a bastard like 'im get away clean! Haha!
* **Geela**: Like I said, there's nothing for you to worry about...probably.
* **Travis**: Oh, Trish...

## Mid-Battle Conversations

### Chapter IX, Part II: March of the Smugglers

#### vs. Serenoa

* **Travis**: Ye were on a pretty high horse last time we met, boy. Now you don't seem much better than us.
* **Serenoa**: We're nothing like you.

### Chapter XV, Part II: In the Wake of a Dream

#### vs. Serenoa

* **Serenoa**: We can resolve this peacefully. You need only tell us about the treasure.
* **Travis**: How mighty kind of ye. But I still won't let ye lay a single finger on our treasure!

#### vs. Erador

* **Erador**: What happened to that daughter of yours? I thought you two were joined at the hip.
* **Travis**: Grr... Stop pokin' yer nose where it don't belong.

### Chapter XVI: Sleep, My Friend

#### near Benedict

* **Travis**: Might use the chaos of battle to slip in a little work, if you catch my drift.
* **Benedict**: So long as you understand the consequences, should your sticky fingers sully Wolffort's good name.
* **Travis**: What do you take me for, an amateur? These fingers know better than to get caught!

### Final Chapter: Blessed Freedom

#### vs. Idore

* **Travis**: Me, I don't care about the Goddess or rebelling or whatever—but the treasure in Centralia? Now that's worth fighting for!
* **Idore**: There is no such place, and no such treasure. You poor people, being fed these lies...

### Final Chapter: For Norzelia

#### vs. Idore

* **Travis**: I ain't naught but a simple mountainfolk, but it don't take a great mind to tell yer a man of wicked intent.
* **Idore**: I'll pay no heed to heathens and criminals. Your end is nigh.
