Ugh... Yuri, this is brutal. Tell me again why you're subjecting me to this devastating boredom...
link
Yuri
volume_up

Enough with the yawning, Balthus. If you're really that bored, we could always make a friendly wager...
link
Balthus
volume_up

Thanks but no thanks, pal. I'm low on funds as it is. Last thing I need is another debt I can't pay.

Constance, Hapi enter the scene

Hapi
volume_up

Right, B. As if you could say no to that.
link
Constance
volume_up

Ahaha! How diverting that you should bicker for my amusement!
link
Constance
volume_up

Imagine my overwhelming dread were I stuck here without such joyous entertainment.
link
Hapi
volume_up

Count me out. I'll leave the talking to Yuri-bird and Coco.

Rogue
volume_up

Hey, Boss!

Rogue enters the scene
link
Yuri
volume_up

Back already, huh? Have you detected any movement on the surface?
link
Rogue
volume_up

Well, uh, I looked for the cardinals' meeting—just like you said...
link
Rogue
volume_up

Thing is, I was spotted by some weirdos. They chased after me and everything.
link
Yuri
volume_up

"Some weirdos," you say. So very helpful. They weren't knights, were they?
link
Rogue
volume_up

I dunno. There were only a few of 'em, but I bet they were armed to the teeth!
link
Yuri
volume_up

With meager numbers like that, I doubt they intend to take on Abyss.
link
Balthus
volume_up

They probably took you for some kind of villain. They'll lock ya up if they catch ya.
link
Balthus
volume_up

Finally, a little action! Let's find them first and throw some punches.
link
Balthus leaves the scene
link
Constance
volume_up

Hold, Balthus! 'Tis ignorance itself to rush headfirst into trouble.
link
Hapi
volume_up

You're excited to fight too. You've been waiting for a chance to try out your shiny new magic.
link
Yuri
volume_up

Heh heh, surface laws don't apply down here. That gives us the freedom to have some fun with them.
link
Yuri
volume_up

They're probably not knights, but our new friends definitely work for the church.
link
Rogue leaves the scene
link
Yuri, Hapi leave the scene

Constance
volume_up

You had best not leave me behind!

Edelgard
volume_up

Hmm... It seems this place is more than a simple passageway. There's clear evidence of human habitation.
link
Hilda
volume_up

People living under Garreg Mach... Oh! My brother used to tell me stories like that back in his Academy days.
link
Claude
volume_up

Ah, so Holst attended the academy as well, then?
link
Hilda
volume_up

Of course. Back then, there were tons of rumors about what goes on below Garreg Mach.
link
Hilda
volume_up

Something about tons of passages and houses beneath the town, all inhabited by super-shady people.
link
Hilda
volume_up

It had a real intimidating name too. Ah, what was it again... I think it was called...Abyss?!
link
Balthus enters the scene
link
Balthus
volume_up

That's two points for the pink-haired gal! Welcome to Abyss, strangers.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Identify yourself!
link
Dimitri
volume_up

That uniform...
link
Balthus
volume_up

Welcome, curious students of the Officers Academy! What brings such fine, upstanding surface dwellers to our humble abode?
link
Claude
volume_up

We're tracking someone who was creeping around the monastery.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Our business here does not concern you. Do you intend to let us pass?
link
Constance
volume_up

Ahaha! Such indulgence simply cannot be permitted.
link
Constance enters the scene
link
Constance
volume_up

Your words may fool the fool, but I cannot be so easily deceived!
link
Constance
volume_up

I, Constance von Nuvelle, shall divine your true intentions.
link
Constance
volume_up

You are here by order of the church...which cruelly plots to eliminate the inhabitants of Abyss!
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Did she say...Nuvelle?
link
Balthus
volume_up

I don't care what the reason for this brawl is. A fight's on the menu, and I'm ready to feast.
link
Balthus
volume_up

Let's get right to it, yeah?
link
Dimitri
volume_up

By the look of them, I'd wager they're experienced combatants. I'm not certain this is a wise endeavor.
link
Claude
volume_up

I was thinking the very same thing. Time to make a strategic retreat, then?
link
Yuri
volume_up

Turning back already? Oh, but you'll make me so sad. Now why would you wanna do that?
link
Yuri enters the scene
link
Hapi enters the scene
link
Yuri
volume_up

Everyone here is starved for amusement. They've been waiting for a good fight.
link
Claude
volume_up

Wow, look at that. A flawless example of a surprise attack. These aren't your run-of-the-mill thugs.
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Claude, this isn't the time to be impressed by our enemy. We must find a way through at once.
link
Balthus
volume_up

Wait... Claude, is it? As in the brand-new heir of House Riegan?
link
Claude
volume_up

Who, me? Nah. Wrong guy. Claude's a common name in Fódlan. It's just too dashing for new moms to pass up.
link
Claude
volume_up

It's even a popular choice for fake names. Just a good, solid, all-purpose moniker, you know?
link
Balthus
volume_up

Right, except there's only one Claude enrolled at the academy this year. Looks like that's you.
link
Claude
volume_up

How do you even know that?
link
Balthus
volume_up

Ha, you just gave yourself away, pal. Looks like my luck's finally taking a turn for the good.
link
Balthus
volume_up

All right, so your choices are as follows: line up for the beating of a lifetime...or let us lock you up like the good boys and girls you undoubtedly are.
link
Claude
volume_up

I have no clue what this guy's going on about, but it looks like a fight's in order, and it's pretty much all my fault.
link
Claude
volume_up

There's a saying from the east about fighting a flicker with a flame. Seems applicable right about now.
link
Balthus
volume_up

Finally! Let's do this already! Prepare to face the Almighty King of Grappling!
link
Hilda
volume_up

Hm... Why can't I shake the feeling that I know that wild man?
