I'll go back to my world someday. Before that happens, though, I want to learn more about you. So I'm planning to stick close to you from now on. That won't be an issue, right?

I know it's a lot to ask, and I don't even know how we'd manage to get you there right now... But I've come to value your strength, and if you're willing, I'm sure we'll find a way when the time comes. For now, just give it some thought.

Level 40 quote

“	I never had much faith in gods or goddesses, <player>. But now, seeing godlike folks isn't out of the ordinary. That's what it seems like, anyway. Do you believe in destiny? Like the kind of miraculous encounters that change your life? Surprise meetings that are somehow inevitable at the same time? You get what I'm saying, don't you? I feel that my meeting you was part of my destiny. Maybe even a miracle of some god's design... Well, if that god knows how I feel, they'll know I ought to stick with you a while longer, for a brighter future.	”	— After reaching level 40 at five-star rarity.

“	Wow, I can't even enjoy one day at the beach without you ordering me around... H-hey, come on, now! You know I'm kidding!	”	— On the character status screen.

Level 40 quote

“	Phew! It's been ages since I was able to kick back and unwind like this... Beaches really are the best, huh? Now, on a completely unrelated note, did you know that the bowstring affects a bow's performance? I know, I know, it sounds obvious. But hear me out, <player>. If you keep a bow strung for too long, it'll eventually warp, and might even become useless. In other words, you need to give the bowstring a break. It's the same with people. If they stay tense and guarded, they'll get worn out, and end up falling apart. If you want to take care of yourself, sometimes the best thing to do is just give yourself time to relax. Speaking of which, I'm feeling nice and refreshed now. Time to make sure this trip is one to remember!	”	— After reaching level 40 at five-star rarity.

You know, you've got a calming air about you. I appreciate that.

Level 40 quote

“	You can't see, smell, or taste the wind. The only way to sense it at all is through touch. Fortunately, touch is all you need to make the wind your ally—if you know how to listen to what it's telling you. Which way's it blowing? How strong? Is it soft and steady, or is it coming at you in big, wild gusts? If you can read the wind, you can live by it. And it's far more reliable than leaving your fate up to chance. I don't have to tell you that, though. You're as good at reading the wind as I am, <player>. For my part, I need to study up. I've got a few ideas about how to make the wind a bigger part of my life...	”	— After reaching level 40 at five-star rarity

Claude: Yuletide Schemer

At the castle

“	Claude von Riegan, here for all your winter-festival needs. Now, what's our first move?	”	— When summoned

“	Winter is pretty harsh in Fódlan. Even warm Adrestia in the south gets hit by freezing sea winds.	”	— At the castle

“	Hey! If you were a good kid, you'd be sound asleep. Real shame that you must not want presents this year...	”	— At the castle

“	After the presents are out, let's gather everyone up for a huge feast. Then we can all just watch the snow together and unwind.	”	— On the character status screen

“	What do I want? Well, it's not something you can put in a box and wrap with a bow.	”	— On the character status screen

“	You're never gonna believe the gift I found for you. *chuckle*	”	— On the character status screen

Level 40 quote

“	Winter festival keeping you busy, <player>? Me too. A little strategy and planning goes a long way, though. All my gifts have been delivered. It's nothing compared to what these kids really need, of course. An end to all this war. A life of peace. But let's not kid ourselves—that's more than we could ever hope to deliver in one night. Still, I hope these gifts will tide them over in the meantime and keep their spirits up. Let them enjoy the winter festival while we work on getting them the gift they deserve most of all.	”	— After reaching level 40 at five-star rarity
