Hilda! Be a dear and spot me some gold, will ya?
link
Hilda
volume_up

Slow down, Baltie. You can't be asking for money without so much as a hello. You're kidding, right?
link
Balthus
volume_up

Kidding. Yeah... Thing is, I was deadly serious. I don't joke about matters of gold.
link
Hilda
volume_up

Ugh. Your request is denied. You didn't use to be like this, you know.
link
Balthus
volume_up

I get the feeling you don't mean anything good by that. But come on, I'm the same as I ever was.
link
Hilda
volume_up

No. You used to be dependable.
link
Hilda
volume_up

Like that time in the woods near Fódlan's Throat. You remember?
link
Balthus
volume_up

Thinking, thinking... Are you sure that was me?
link
Hilda
volume_up

Yes! Ugh. I had told Holst I wanted to go on a walk in the forest.
link
Balthus
volume_up

Heh, Holst never could tell you "no."
link
Hilda
volume_up

Hm, few can. Anyway, when the three of us got there, a horde of monsters appeared. I started wailing.
link
Balthus
volume_up

Uh-huh, uh-huh. Then what happened?
link
Hilda
volume_up

My brother started hitting one of the beasts with a wooden sword. You hoisted me over your shoulder.
link
Hilda
volume_up

Holst told you to get me to safety, even if it killed you.
link
Hilda
volume_up

So you ran the whole way from the forest to the estate with me on your back.
link
Balthus
volume_up

Ah! I remember it now. Toughest run of my life. I was so exhausted, I threw up about a month's worth of lunches afterward.
link
Hilda
volume_up

And then you turned right around and started running back. You said, "I've gotta save Holst!"
link
Balthus
volume_up

A good thing too. Holst was moments from winding up in that thing's stomach.
link
Balthus
volume_up

Had to slam into it, then Holst and I kept punching till the deed was done! Truly a fight to remember.
link
Hilda
volume_up

It was impressive, especially considering you were just teenagers.
link
Hilda
volume_up

When you came back...you were just bruised boys in tattered clothes. But to me, you looked like heroes.
link
Hilda
volume_up

And now, here you are, a scrounger who can hardly open his mouth without nagging me for money.
link
Hilda
volume_up

What happened to that brave little boy who saved me from a monster?
link
Balthus
volume_up

Wow. Way to shame a guy. I feel awful...but I still need gold. Can't live without it in this cruel world.
link
Hilda
volume_up

Oh, come on. We both know that when you have money, you drink or gamble it all away.
link
Hilda
volume_up

But I suppose I could ask my brother to help pay off your debts. Get you back on your feet.
link
Balthus
volume_up

Don't you dare speak to Holst about this!
link
Balthus
volume_up

He's a close friend. I'd hate to ruin what we have by borrowing gold.
link
Hilda
volume_up

Oh! But you have no qualms about using his little sister? Figured I'd be an easy mark, is that it? Unbelievable.
link
Balthus
volume_up

That...coulda gone better.
