| 1 |  | 125 | Now what?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 2 |  | 125 | Judging from the speech, I can't see us convincing him...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 3 |  | 125 | So this mean...we stuck here?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 4 |  | 125 | Quite a predicament, Empress Melia.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 5 |  | 125 | Who are you? How do you know my name?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 6 |  | 125 | I humbly beg your pardon.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 7 |  | 125 | Gael'gar, at Your Majesty's service.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 8 |  | 125 | Formerly of the personal protection division[XENO:n ]
of the Alcamoth guard regiment.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 9 |  | 125 | Is that so? Then the pardon is mine[XENO:n ]
to beg, Sir Gael'gar.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 10 |  | 125 | And please, dispense with the 'Majesty'.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 11 |  | 125 | Perish the thought, *Your Majesty*![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 12 |  | 125 | The recent war has rid us of the wicked pure-bloods...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 13 |  | 125 | A new age dawns, and we half-breeds[XENO:n ]
are chosen for its caretakers![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 14 |  | 125 | With you, Lady Melia...as our shining paragon.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 15 |  | 125 | I cannot but address you as 'Majesty'![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 16 |  | 125 | Hmph. I have no patience for wheedling.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 17 |  | 125 | Especially...from knaves who spit on[XENO:n ]
their ancestors.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 18 |  | 125 | I would never dream of doing such.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 19 |  | 125 | I merely spoke plain truth, no more.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 20 |  | 125 | As you wish.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 21 |  | 125 | But the 'Majesty' address is burdensome to me.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 22 |  | 125 | *sigh*[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 23 |  | 125 | If you absolutely insist.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 24 |  | 125 | Until you deign to acquiesce,[XENO:n ]
'Lady Melia' will have to suffice.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 25 |  | 125 | So kind, Sir Gael'gar.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 26 |  | 125 | Make no mention of it, Lady Melia.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 27 |  | 125 | Sir Gael'gar, we really need to[XENO:n ]
get to Alcamoth, no matter what.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 28 |  | 125 | Ah, yes, I have heard your[XENO:n ]
exchange with Maxis.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 29 |  | 125 | Hindering the Empress' triumph...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 30 |  | 125 | A narrow-minded fool if ever there was one.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 31 |  | 125 | Haha...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 32 |  | 125 | To begin the authentication process, one[XENO:n ]
must raise their hand to the transporter.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 33 |  | 125 | The device is configured in such a way that only some of the[XENO:n ]
High Entia in this land, and the imperial family, may pass.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 34 |  | 125 | Hence, Lady Melia should not have[XENO:n ]
the slightest issue activating it.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 35 |  | 125 | A similar mechanism to the tombs, then.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 36 |  | 125 | That's our ticket into Alcamoth.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 37 |  | 125 | Yes.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 38 |  | 125 | Tasty news! Friend Gael'gar is good friend![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 39 |  | 125 | Kind thanks, Bird Mister![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 40 |  | 125 | Not at all! I am but a humble servant[XENO:n ]
in Lady Melia's employ.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 41 |  | 125 | If it not displease my Ladyship too grossly,[XENO:n ]
may I offer you my companionship on your journey...?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 42 |  | 125 | I have a modicum of skill with the blade,[XENO:n ]
please rest assured.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 43 |  | 125 | I appreciate the offer, but must refuse.[XENO:n ]
We do not lack for strength.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 44 |  | 125 | Indeed? A great shame.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 45 |  | 125 | Should the need arise, I shall remain ready to serve.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 46 |  | 125 | Certainly.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 47 |  | 125 | By the way, Sir Gael'gar...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 48 |  | 125 | This outpost appears to consist of naught but soldiers.[XENO:n ]
Where might all the other refugees reside?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 49 |  | 125 | They dwell beyond the Gran Dell Ramparts,[XENO:n ]
which lie below this point.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 50 |  | 125 | They live at a remove from you, then?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 51 |  | 125 | Yes. Because of the...Machina who live there...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 52 |  | 125 | What do you mean?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 53 |  | 125 | Might you have forgotten?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 54 |  | 125 | When the war broke out, it was the[XENO:n ]
Machina's treachery that lit the fuse.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 55 |  | 125 | Were it not for them, we needn't have[XENO:n ]
lost our brethren and our home.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 56 |  | 125 | You couldn't...stand the Machina and[XENO:n ]
thus moved away?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 57 |  | 125 | Precisely.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 58 |  | 125 | But the war is concluded, Sir Gael'gar.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 59 |  | 125 | Some simply cannot let go so easily.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 60 |  | 125 | ...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 61 |  | 125 | Melia. Shall we go see for ourselves?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 62 |  | 125 | Ah, yes. Very well.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 63 |  | 125 | Sir Gael'gar. We will take our leave of you now.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 64 |  | 125 | Do please take care of yourselves.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 65 |  | 125 | You'll find passage to the capital through[XENO:n ]
the Cragmaw Caverns.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 66 |  | 125 | Sir Gael'gar, thanks for this![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 67 |  | 125 | See friend later![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 68 |  | 125 | Please to be extra careful of self![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] | 
      
        | 69 |  | 125 | The same to you all![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
