## Baudimon

### C Support

> **Baudimon**How are you holding up, buddy?**Jakka**Passably well. How about you? Taken any hits yet?**Baudimon**This is nothing compared to the battles we fought in during the rebellion.**Jakka**Well, that's nice to hear, but did you want something, Baud? I'm kinda busy here. Is there another reason you are stopping to chat with me in the middle of a fight?**Baudimon**I am just making sure you can keep up with me.**Jakka**Don't patronize me! I can keep up with you on a good day.**Baudimon**Sure, you can, but not every day is a good day.**Jakka**Pfft, you may have been stronger than me when we last fought, but no more. I'm starting to rival you in terms of skill. A few more months and I'll surpass you.**Baudimon**That's good to hear, brother. I like your confidence.

### B Support

> **Baudimon**Jakka. When was the last time you saw your family?**Jakka**A couple of months, I think. I don't get many chances to visit, being a mercenary and all.**Baudimon**How's your little sis doing?**Jakka**Femke? She's alright. She spends most of her time looking after mom. Someone has to do it ever since dad passed away.**Baudimon**It's a damn shame what happened to your old man. Things would have been different were he still alive.**Jakka**Dad was a soldier. He always knew he might have to give his life for Andaron. Though I always expected he would die on the battlefield, not from some plague.**Baudimon**The Styxian plague claimed many lives. I lost some family members to it as well.**Jakka**Damn those necromancers for unleashing it on us. I will never forgive them.**Baudimon**To be fair, Jakka. They unleashed it on us because we were invading their country. It was self-defense. They had the right.**Jakka**Pah. They are cowards. All of them. They could not match our strength, so they resorted to their black magic.**Baudimon**Your anger is understandable, Jakka. Though I think you would do well to visit your family at some point. Make sure you spend some time with your mom while you still have her.**Jakka**Yeah Baud, I will do that. I promise you I will.

> **Jakka**Hey Baud. You doing alright, friend? You've been looking a little tired.**Baudimon**Hey Jakka. Well, you know. A lot has been going on lately.**Jakka**Tell me about it. Who could have foreseen all that happened in these past weeks?**Baudimon**Jakka, I have this strange feeling that something bad might happen soon.**Jakka**Haven't plenty of bad things happened already?**Baudimon**I guess, but this feels different. I can't shake the feeling that something awful might happen.**Jakka**I'm sure it's nothing. You are just experiencing some nerves.**Baudimon**Jakka. If something were to happen to me, you would look after Aylanda, right?**Jakka**Of course, I would. You know that.**Baudimon**Thank you. That means a lot.**Jakka**Hey. What's the matter with you? It's not like you to get this gloomy.**Baudimon**I guess I'm just starting to get old.**Jakka**Well, we're not teenagers anymore. That's for sure.**Baudimon**What do you plan on doing after all this is over? When you are no longer able to work as a mercenary.**Jakka**Me? Oh, I'd like to open a restaurant in the capital.**Baudimon**Really? I never took you for a cook.**Jakka**Well, maybe I won't be the one making the food, but I'd like to run the place. A little cozy corner away from the noise. Where people can eat a meal in peace. Maybe get served drinks by a cute girl.**Baudimon**You never told me about this.**Jakka**You never asked.**Baudimon**You know what? Once all this is over I would love to help you with this dream. We could start something together?**Jakka**I'd like that a lot, Baud.**Baudimon**It's a deal then.**Jakka**Aye. It's a deal.

## Helga

### C Support

> **Jakka**Helga, got a moment?**Helga**Yeah? What is it?**Jakka**That magic you cast on your opponents. What does it do, exactly?**Helga**My magic? What are you talking about?**Jakka**Whenever you defeat a foe in battle it's like you are draining their essence.**Helga**Indeed. I am using their life force to restore my own. It's basic Skadian magic.**Jakka**And who taught you this magic?**Helga**My grandmother, of course.**Jakka**And you do not have any problems with that at all?**Helga**Why would I?**Jakka**Knowing what your grandmother was. What she was capable of... Is not using her techniques wrong?**Helga**Even if a demon gives you a knife, you can still use it as your tool. The knife itself cannot be evil. Only how you use it matters.**Jakka**But what happens to your foes after their life force is drained?**Helga**You worry about the souls of our foes? Why do you care?**Jakka**Killing our enemies is one thing. Destroying their soul is another. It is not humane to take away their chance at an afterlife.**Helga**They'll have an afterlife.**Jakka**Lingering in the void of Helheim?**Helga**I don't lecture you on how you stab your foes. Do not tell me how I should deal with mine.**Jakka**Arguing in the middle of a battle isn't wise, but I'm not done with this topic, Helga. We will speak about this again.**Helga**Hmpf. As you wish.

### B Support

> **Helga**Jakka, about what we talked about the other day.**Jakka**You mean about how you destroy the souls of those you defeat?**Helga**You aren't wrong, my enemies all face a fate worse than death.**Jakka**That is... awful, Helga. I do not feel pity for our enemies, but this is... wrong.**Helga**Normally, I resort to this magic only as a last resort, however... Lately I have been forced to use it more and more just to survive. I need to... sustain my life force in order to maintain the soul link.**Jakka**You have to do this not only to keep yourself alive, but Ayla as well...**Helga**If you think this price is too terrible, you may ask me to end the soul link. By doing so, Aylanda will perish.**Jakka**No, keep it active.**Helga**Are you... sure about that?**Jakka**If Aylanda knew, she would never allow it. However, you can't end the link just yet. Not until we've found a way to save her. I won't give up on her, I cannot. I promised Baud I would keep her safe.**Helga**If that is your wish, I will keep it active, but know that I have to keep fighting. Many must suffer to pay this awful price. Can your conscience deal with that?**Jakka**I lost the luxury of listening to my conscience a long time ago.

### A Support

> **Helga**Agh, damnit...**Jakka**Are you alright, Helga?**Helga**It's getting more... difficult...**Jakka**The soul link, it's draining you...**Helga**Even if I am able to drain souls, I don't think I can keep it going for much longer.**Jakka**Helga... if you have to end the spell to save yourself, then so be it. I can't ask you to give your life for Aylanda, that wouldn't be right. You've done so much already.**Helga**I can keep it going a bit longer. I'm not at my limit just yet.**Jakka**Helga, you are truly a special woman. To keep fighting despite everything. I was wrong about you, you are not just brave, but incredibly courageous.**Helga**.......**Jakka**What is it? Why are you glaring at me like that?**Helga**I don't know how to respond to compliments. My grandmother never gave me any. But thank you Jakka, that means a lot.**Jakka**Together, we will both make it through this ordeal. Whatever it takes, I will find a way to save you both. That's a promise, Helga, and to solidify it, I give you this.**Helga**A... ring?**Jakka**You know what this means?**Helga**Yes, I am aware...**Jakka**Then hold on to it. For the both of us. If you want it...**Helga**Yes, Jakka. I do. And I will.

## Jaheira

### C Support

> **Jakka**How you holding up, scaley?**Jaheira**I could ask you the same, softskin. Don't you have better things to do?**Jakka**You just look too serious all the time. Is it due to your cold lizard blood?**Jaheira**Scoff all you want, Jakka. Showing emotions is a sign of weakness in Timaet's army. All generals are to maintain a proper posture. Perhaps you ought to learn a thing from us.**Jakka**Well, it's not what I saw when you were feeding your 'cute' wyvern. I could almost see you wagging your 'dragon tail' like a puppy, hah!**Jaheira**W-What?! Were you spying on me, you cretin?!**Jakka**Woah, point that thing elsewhere!**Jaheira**...**Jakka**Please?**Jaheira**You're in luck, Lord Tendaris would not want me to spill ally blood.**Jakka**Phew.**Jaheira**But I'll make him come around. Oh, and softskin?**Jakka**Yeah?**Jaheira**I do not have a tail. Only Manaketes have that.**Jakka**Ah, I was only joking, Jaheira.

### B Support

> **Jaheira**Jakka.**Jakka**Hey, Jaheira. What's up?**Jaheira**I have wanted to talk to you for some time.**Jakka**That's a surprise. Well, I'm here.**Jaheira**Remember when we talked on the boat to Hornheim?**Jakka**Aye, about that. I'm sorry, I wasn't in the right state of mind.**Jaheira**Cease the thought, your anger is justified. I would have acted no different than you.**Jakka**Then... what is it?**Jaheira**If you want to share a meal later, I'll join you, perhaps alongside some ale.**Jakka**Uh... thanks? I'm not sure I understand, though.**Jaheira**It is Timaetan custom to offer support to those who lost loved ones, like Baudimon. It is in the moment of grief where the living unite to help each other through the pain.**Jakka**It's not so different here. We just call that friendship.**Jaheira**The ritual is only practiced by one Timaetan to another, but since we're brothers in arms; But I suppose I shall put this detail aside. Just this once.**Jakka**You scalies aren't so bad, afterall.**Jaheira**Don't let it get to your head, softskin.**Jakka**Hah! Duly noted.

### A Support

> **Jakka**Hey, Jaheira? I need a moment of your time.**Jaheira**What is it, Jakka? We are in the middle of a battle.**Jakka**Well, uh...**Jaheira**What is troubling you? Have I done something to offend you?**Jakka**No, that's not it at all. Dammit, I've been memorizing this all week, why now?!**Jaheira**Your face is red as a tomato. Have you contracted Firis Fever?**Jakka**No! Well, at least I hope not... Fine, I'll just come out with it. Jaheira, please have this!**Jaheira**This is... a ring? But Jakka...**Jakka**I know. And I know you have your responsibilities with Tendaris, but... My father always told stories about centaurs and dragons to warn me. To tell you the truth, it scared the crap outta me, I feared them since. I tried to play it cool, insulting them without even seeing one before. That's how I hid from my fears.**Jaheira**...**Jakka**When I met you, it was no different. Fear overtook me like the fool I am. I tried to show dominance, and in return, you asserted your grounds. And when I was at my lowest point, you showed me love and kindness. I can't hide it anymore, I want to spend the rest of my life with you.**Jaheira**Jakka... I am half-dragon, you are human. We... couldn't possibly stay together.**Jakka**Then... say that while looking at me.**Jaheira**What?...**Jakka**Look at me in the eyes and say it... if you really do feel that way...**Jaheira**... I cannot...**Jakka**It's a sign of weakness to show emotions, but you cannot hide them, can you? Well, neither could I. So here I am...
> confessing my love to a half-dragon.**Jaheira**Jakka...**Jakka**After this war is over, will you please give me your answer?**Jaheira**... Yes, Jakka. I will. I promise you, I will.**Jakka**Thank you, Jaheira.[Jakka leaves.]**Jaheira**I haven't felt like this in years... Are you watching me, mother?

## Victoria

> **Victoria**Uhh. Hey Jakka.**Jakka**Hello Victoria.**Victoria**You doing alright?**Jakka**Can't complain. Kinda busy right now though. What do you want?**Victoria**Oh. Uhm. I just wanted to talk.**Jakka**Now's not the best time.**Victoria**Oh sure. Maybe we can fight together side by side then?**Jakka**I think you would be better suited elsewhere. I am doing quite alright here. I think there are others in need of cavalry support.**Victoria**Oh... Uhm... I...**Jakka**Hmm? Did I say anything wrong?**Victoria**It's... it's nothing.**Jakka**Hmm? What's wrong with her? Women can be so strange.

### B Support

> **Jakka**Hey, Victoria.**Victoria**Oh. Uhm. Jakka. Hello!**Jakka**Just wanted to say, nice work out here. You're doing great!**Victoria**Uh... What?**Jakka**You're fighting hard. Keep up the good work!**Victoria**Uh. Thank you?**Jakka**That's all I wanted to say. Take care.[Jakka leaves.]**Victoria**W-wait. Jakka. Come back here![Jakka returns.]**Jakka**Oh? What's the problem then?**Victoria**You promised we would spend some time together in camp. But you have hardly had time for me at all since I joined. Every time I come over, you just brush me off!**Jakka**I have a lot of responsibilities. It's not always easy to find time to chat with the soldiers.**Victoria**The soldiers? Is that all I am to you, Jakka? Just another soldier to look after!?**Jakka**Hey. What's gotten into you? You know we are more than that.**Victoria**We are?**Jakka**Of course. We are friends.**Victoria**Well... I thought that maybe... We could be more than friends?**Jakka**Oh... Now I see.**Victoria**... Well?**Jakka**Yeah. I'm sorry Victoria. That ship has sailed.**Victoria**.....**Jakka**I used to have a thing for you during the rebellion, but that was before...**Victoria**Before what?**Jakka**I'm sorry Victoria. I fell in love with someone else. And I never got over her.**Victoria**Wait, what!?**Jakka**It's not something I've told a lot of people. I don't think I'll ever love anyone again.**Victoria**\*Sniff\***Jakka**Victoria. Please don't cry.**Victoria**J-just leave me alone, please.[Victoria leaves.]**Jakka**Man. This sucks.

### A Support

> **Jakka**.....**Victoria**What do you want?**Jakka**You can't just keep avoiding me forever, Victoria.**Victoria**I can, and I will.**Jakka**Come on. Don't be like that.**Victoria**You were the reason I ran away from my marriage. Do you know that?**Jakka**Really?**Victoria**Henry wasn't all that bad. I think I even felt something for him at some point.**Jakka**.....**Victoria**But every time I closed my eyes, all I could think about was you.**Jakka**Well. I am pretty handsome.**Victoria**Don't joke about this!**Jakka**Sorry. Keep going.**Victoria**You were the reason I came back here. And I just hoped maybe we could... Oh maybe I am just a stupid, naive girl.**Jakka**No. I don't think you are.**Victoria**Really?**Jakka**I think maybe there's a chance for us. If we survive this whole ordeal, maybe we can find out?**Victoria**Do you really mean that?**Jakka**I want you to hold on to this. It was my mother's ring. If we survive this, give it back to me at the end. Maybe we can talk...**Victoria**J-jakka. You are making me blush.**Jakka**Hey. There's nothing more adorable than a blushing girl.

## Caroline

### C Support

> **Jakka**Another day in paradise, eh?**Caroline**You always find amusement in the oddest of places.**Jakka**I have found that life is too short not to laugh, even when things look grim.**Caroline**Your jokes, they help no one, Jakka. This is a battlefield, not a tavern.**Jakka**And here I thought you'd appreciate some levity. Remember when you used to laugh at my antics?**Caroline**Yes, I remember, that was before. Things are different now.**Jakka**Times change, people change, but I'm still the same charming man you fell for once.**Caroline**You're an insufferable rogue sometimes, Jakka.**Jakka**Would you have me be any other way?**Caroline**I would have you act like the leader you're supposed to be.**Jakka**Ouch, I don't remember you being so serious all the time. What happened to the fun loving Caroline I knew?**Caroline**Unlike you, some of us had to grow up during the war.**Jakka**Ouch. I guess I'll go and sulk in a corner.**Caroline**I didn't mean to come across so... crass. Forgive me Jakka, it's been a long day.**Jakka**That's fine, I'm always here if you wish to let out some frustration.**Caroline**I'd rather take my frustration out on our enemies.**Jakka**Hehe, have it your way.

### B Support

> **Jakka**You're still thinking about Armond, aren't you?**Caroline**Why wouldn't I?**Jakka**No reason... It's just that I always found death to be a bit like a bad hangover. It's horrible while it lasts, but eventually you've got to get up and face the day.**Caroline**That's an awful thing to say, Jakka.**Jakka**Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to offend. It's just a way to lighten things up.**Caroline**Is that how you cope with Baudimon's death?**Jakka**Oh no, I cope by imagining all the ways I'm going to kill Mortimer.**Caroline**Even now it sounds like you are joking.**Jakka**That's only half true, anyway I am sorry for derailing the conversation. You were thinking about Armond?**Caroline**Armond was a good man, and I... I did him wrong.**Jakka**You mean with us?**Caroline**Yes, with us.**Jakka**Ah, so now I'm the devil who tempted the virtuous lady?**Caroline**Stop making light of this, Jakka. I betrayed him.**Jakka**Listen, Caroline. You didn't plan for any of this to happen, neither did I. We're human. We make mistakes.**Caroline**That doesn't justify it.**Jakka**Maybe not, but hey, you can't keep beating yourself up about it. Armond wouldn't have wanted that.**Caroline**You don't know what Armond would have wanted.**Jakka**You're right. I don't. But I know he wouldn't want you to suffer like this.**Caroline**Just... stop talking, Jakka.**Jakka**Alright. No more talking. But remember, you don't have to go through this alone. Even if you just need someone to shout at, I'm always here for you.**Caroline**You're impossible.**Jakka**That's what they all say.

### A Support

> **Jakka**Caroline, you're carrying a weight that's not yours to bear. Why are you not able to move on?**Caroline**You do not understand, Jakka. I told Armond the truth, every ugly bit of it.**Jakka**Wait, you told him about us?**Caroline**Yes. I told him.**Jakka**And?**Caroline**He forgave me...**Jakka**Just like that?**Caroline**Yes. Before he rode off with Alexander. That was the last conversation we had.**Jakka**Aha, I think I understand now, Caroline. This was your last memory of Armond. That is why you struggle to accept it. However, he forgave you, did he not?**Caroline**Yes, but his forgiveness doesn't erase my guilt.**Jakka**It doesn't have to erase it. But it can help you bear it. We've all got our demons. It's part of being human.**Caroline**This is more than just 'demons', Jakka. I betrayed the man I loved the most. He forgave me, then died right after. It was Divine punishment for my sins. I don't know how to forgive myself. For this and... for what Alexander did.**Jakka**Look, you can't just keep bearing this guilt forever. At some point you have to forgive yourself. If Armond could do it then so can you.**Caroline**.......**Jakka**Caroline, I want you to hold on to this for me.**Caroline**This is... a ring?**Jakka**It belonged to my father, he gave it to me before he passed away. I want you to carry it.**Caroline**Jakka, I couldn't...**Jakka**If we both make it through this ordeal alive, and you manage to finally forgive yourself. I'd like for you to return this ring to me with an answer when the time comes.**Caroline**.......**Jakka**You will forgive yourself, Caroline.**Caroline**Alright Jakka. I will hold on to it.**Jakka**Alright, I'm glad.

## Aisha

### C Support

> **Aisha**Come on, who's next? I'll take you all on!**Jakka**Calm down, Aisha. You don't need to take on all the enemies by yourself.**Aisha**This is how I like to fight.**Jakka**You're goddamn suicidal, woman. Leave some enemies alive for the rest of us, will you?**Aisha**Hey, if you can't keep up. That's not my problem.**Jakka**If I didn't know better, I'd think you had a death wish.**Aisha**Well. There are far worse ways to die than in battle.**Jakka**That doesn't mean you should hurl yourself onto some poor blokes' spear.**Aisha**Doesn't mean you have to cower in the backlines either.**Jakka**Look. Just relax a little, okay? I want the people under my command to actually survive.**Aisha**Then stop trying to bore me to death.[Aisha leaves.]**Jakka**I'm glad to see her attitude hasn't changed.

### B Support

> **Jakka**Aisha, enough is enough! You are going to get yourself killed if you keep this up.**Aisha**Huh? This again? I'm fine.**Jakka**You are absolutely not fine. If it weren't for our healers, you would be dead already.**Aisha**Pah. I am just keeping them busy. Can't have them go getting bored.**Jakka**Aisha. You miss your family. Don't you?**Aisha**What? The hell you talking about?**Jakka**I know a little something about being suicidal, believe it or not. Don't think I cannot see it.**Aisha**Huh!? You better shut up! You know nothing about me.**Jakka**You pretend like you just love to fight, but I can tell what is really going on.**Aisha**And what is that?**Jakka**You want to die.**Aisha**.....**Jakka**You will get your wish if this keeps up.**Aisha**Shut up. You know nothing...**Jakka**I'm not your dad. If you want to go ahead and die so badly, throw yourself off a cliff. However, stop risking the lives of my men with your recklessness. That's an order.[Jakka leaves.]**Aisha**.....

> **Aisha**Jakka...**Jakka**What's this? You're still alive?**Aisha**I am sorry. You were right.**Jakka**Of course. I always am.**Aisha**When my parents died from the plague, I fell into despair. I ran away from home and joined a pirate crew.**Jakka**I see. I figured as much.**Aisha**I killed a lot of innocent people.I inflicted pain on those around me. It was a very dark time of my life.**Jakka**.....**Aisha**My crew ended up clashing with Brandon's pirates on day. We fought valiantly, but they won. In the end, Brandon spared my life, in return for my service.**Jakka**This was back when Brandon was a pirate as well?**Aisha**Aye. However, he was having second thoughts about his life. We both decided to leave the crew together.**Jakka**He never told me that.**Aisha**However, even after we started to straighten our lives up. The dark thoughts followed me. Even if I tried my best to leave those dark days behind.**Jakka**Those dark thoughts will stay with you for the rest of your life. You have to learn to live with them.**Aisha**Does it ever get better?**Jakka**It does. You learn how to live with it.**Aisha**.....**Jakka**Aisha. After all this is over. We should visit the graves of your family. Together.**Aisha**Why?**Jakka**Trust me. It will do you good.**Aisha**Alright Jakka. Thank you.**Jakka**Don't mention it. Just stay alive. I've lost enough friends already. I don't want to lose you as well.**Aisha**I promise.

> **Isabelle**Jakka, let me take the front lines. You've fought long enough.**Jakka**Huh? What are you talking about?**Isabelle**Baudimon is gone, you are our new commander now. Start acting like it. You have to take care of yourself. Let me take over your duties. You can lead us from the rear.**Jakka**Hell no, I belong right here alongside the rest of you.**Isabelle**Jakka, you're not used to being a leader, so let me educate you. This army can handle losing some soldiers, we'll bounce back from it. However, if you go down, it's over. Everyone relies on your survival. You can't afford to play hero.**Jakka**Baudimon was always the first to enter the fray.**Isabelle**Exactly, and look where that got him. My cousin was brave, but foolish. Don't follow in his footsteps.**Jakka**I thought you admired him.**Isabelle**I did, but admiring someone does not mean you should copy their every decision. Learn from his mistakes, be smarter.**Jakka**I'll try my best, but I can't promise anything.

### B Support

> **Isabelle**Jakka, have you made certain to inform all our troops about the current plans?**Jakka**I talked to them before the battle, didn't I?**Isabelle**But did you make sure they all understood what you said?**Jakka**No one said anything.**Isabelle**Young recruits are often too scared to voice their insecurities. I experienced this often while leading the Malthrak City Guard. A good leader should make sure to ask the troops several times.**Jakka**If people won't listen, that's not my problem.**Isabelle**It very much will become your problem once the battle starts.**Jakka**Alright Isabelle, I'll make sure to repeat myself to some of our newer soldiers. If they take offense though, I'm tellingthem it was your idea.**Isabelle**Better to be insulted than killed.

### A Support

> **Jakka**Alright Isabelle, spit it out. What did I do wrong now?**Isabelle**Nothing at all. You've become an incredible leader, Jakka. It's night and day compared to how you used to be.**Jakka**Oh... uhm that's nice to hear. So why are you here?**Isabelle**Do I need an excuse to fight beside you in battle?**Jakka**Hmm, I suppose you are right, we do make a pretty good team.**Isabelle**Indeed we do, both on and off the battlefield.**Jakka**Heh. It almost sounds like you're coming on to me, Isabelle.**Isabelle**Hey, stop teasing me, I was only paying you a compliment. Sheez, that's what I get for being nice to you for once.**Jakka**Sorry, it's just too tempting. I like teasing you, Isabelle.**Isabelle**Hey Jakka, can I ask you a question?**Jakka**I'm not sure how smart it is to ask in the middle of a battle, but sure.**Isabelle**What are you going to do once all of this is over?**Jakka**I hadn't really given it much thought...**Isabelle**You plan on... settling down?**Jakka**I suppose I am yeah, but I don't have much time to think about such things.**Isabelle**Take it from me, it's easy to lose yourself in your duties. However, you should have a plan for what comes after.**Jakka**I suppose I should yeah, but I don't have much time to think about such things.**Isabelle**Maybe settling down somewhere quiet? Have a few kids? Live a peaceful life?**Jakka**Are these your suggestions? Or your plans for yourself?**Isabelle**I don't know...**Jakka**Heh, alright, I get it Isabelle. I want you to have this.**Isabelle**A ring?**Jakka**Just take care of it for me? Until this war is over.**Isabelle**Take care of it...**Jakka**Once we're through with all of this, we can talk more about "my plans".**Isabelle**Alright...**Jakka**You take care now.**Isabelle**You too...
