Glory Unwanted/Conversations

Sothe

Sothe: We're just about ready. Let's talk to Tormod, and--
Micaiah: ...
Sothe: Micaiah?
Micaiah: Oh, sorry.
Sothe: Hey, remember our promise from three years ago? There are no secrets between us.
Micaiah: Sothe, Muarim knows that I'm older than I look.
Sothe: I see. Well, don't worry too much about it. You can trust him.
Micaiah: Yes, I'm sure of that. Muarim seems very trustworthy. But, what about everyone else? What would they think if they knew all of my abilities came from the mixed blood running through my veins? Blood they consider cursed!
Sothe: Micaiah, stop...
Micaiah: Right now, when they look at me, they have love and affection in their eyes, but would they look at me the same way if they knew? I don't want to find out, Sothe. I don't think I could bear the truth.
Sothe: You know, we can stop.
Micaiah: What do you mean?
Sothe: Look, this was an impossible situation to begin with. You've always led such a secluded life... Ever since you were thrust into this position, I worried that the pressure might get to you.
Micaiah: You're right. I knew it would turn out like this. Despite that, I accepted the job. I can't stop now.
Sothe: But, Micaiah...
Micaiah: Listen, Sothe. I realized something after Daein lost the war.
Sothe: What's that?
Micaiah: I realized how much I loved my country.
Sothe: And?
Micaiah: During the war, I spent a lot of time with the people of Daein while I was waiting for you to return. After we lost the war, all our cities and towns had been reduced to ruins. We had to help each other to cope. We supported and comforted each other. That's how we survived.
Sothe: You never mentioned this before.
Micaiah: I've been secluded so long, I had no idea people were so strong...and kind. No one knew who I was, but they helped me because I was from Daein. They were so...loving. They were my friends.
Sothe: And now you won't leave them.
Micaiah: I was touched by their kindness. Now, I'm scared to lose it. Very scared.
Sothe: Micaiah...
Micaiah: I suppose this isn't the time to worry about such things. If my power is needed to liberate Daein, I will stand my ground and fight.
Sothe: Well, not to spoil your resolve... But if things get too hot, I'm just going to grab you and run.
Micaiah: Sothe...
Sothe: Friends and Daein are important, but not as important as you are to me. Remember that.
Micaiah: ...All right. Thank you, Sothe.

Tauroneo

Tauroneo: Sorry about this, Lady Micaiah. Just this once, I agree with Lord Izuka's concerns.
Micaiah: I completely understand. This is my fight, and mine alone. Please keep the prince safe, General Tauroneo.
Sothe: I'll protect Micaiah. I've enlisted extra help, too. We'll make it back in one piece.
Tauroneo: I place my trust in you, Sothe. Best of luck. Oh, I nearly forgot. You should take this.
Micaiah: What a peculiar staff... What power does it possess?
Tauroneo: It is a restore staff. It will help you recover from sleep, poison, and paralysis. Enemies will use every method they possess to destroy you. It is best that you be prepared for every eventuality.
Micaiah: Thank you, General Tauroneo. We will return safely.
Tauroneo: I know. And I know you'll save the hostages, too.

(You got a Restore.)

Vika

Vika: Hm... I wonder where Boss is? These tents all look the same...
Micaiah: Hello, Vika. Can I help you?
Vika: Meep!

(Vika leaves)

Micaiah: Vika!

(Vika returns, further away than before)

Vika: ...
Micaiah: You always run away from me... Did I do something to offend you? Vika: No, I'm so sorry. I can't explain why this happens. I get so jumpy around you. There's just...something about you.
Micaiah: Oh...
Vika: Oh, but please don't be sad! It's not you. It's me. I get...confused...sometimes. I really admire you, and then I get a bizarre feeling, and...
Micaiah: It's all right, sorry to bother you. Vika: ...No. Wait.
Micaiah: Hm?
Vika: I want to overcome this. I don't like that I feel I must avoid you for some inexplicable reason.
Micaiah: But...
Vika: I know how painful it is to be...feared. I'm really, really sorry. Let's be friends, OK? If you can forgive me, that is...
Micaiah: Of course I forgive you! Thank you, Vika. I'd be honored to have your friendship.
Vika: Here. Take this as a token of that friendship.

(Vika moves closer to Micaiah)

Vika: Please, take it. I'd like you to have it.
Micaiah: What a beautiful figurine. The goddess looks so serene.
Vika: Carry it with you. It'll bring you good luck. I met my boss and Muarim thanks to that figurine.
Micaiah: Thank you, Vika. I'll cherish it.
Vika: I'm glad you like it.

(You got an Ashera Icon.)
