Level 40 quote

Here you are! You went missing after the last battle, so I'd been looking for you... Thinking about your mother? I see. No surprise, given the circumstances. I'm sorry for intruding. I wanted to ask you something... You see, I've been focused on defending my home... So focused, in fact, that I realized I've been seeing everyone else's struggles as savage—even crude. So...what I want to ask is this. Would you allow me to protect you? No, I really mean...can I stay at your side? You see...I don't think I could stand to lose someone I care about. Not again.

Level 40 quote

So, how did I fare in that last battle? I was worried about fighting without my bow, but I think I did well enough. I suppose that means I am becoming accustomed to all of this, but I still have much to learn... Speaking of which, I have heard that female ninja are called "kunoichi." Surely the Order of Heroes has its own detachment of spies, right? I'm well aware of the danger that comes with the role, but...I want to support the Order from the shadows. Perhaps then, I might come closer to understanding how my late husband felt while he worked...

Igrene: Sworn Protectors

At the castle

I am Igrene. I preside over festivals in a village in Nabata and... Oh, Lady Louise, watch your step!
— When summoned
Lord Athos hoped we could form bonds—forge true understanding with dragons. We honor that ideal.
— Igrene, at the castle
Arcadia is a very small, hidden village where we try to nurture a future for humans and dragons together.
— Igrene, at the castle
I was but a child when Lady Louise gave me a bow. I tugged at its string like it was nothing but a toy. Oh, how my poor father wanted to see me with an axe in my hands.
— Igrene, at the castle
I am quite happy to hear that Igrene used the bow I had Hawkeye pass along to her.
— Louise, at the castle
Lady Louise is wonderful. Though, it is disconcerting when she calls me "little Igrene" like I'm still a child.
— Igrene, at the castle
I'm grateful to those who understand the nature of my village, like you and <friend>.
— Igrene, delivering greetings from a friend

On the character status screen

Igrene: I can't believe I get to fight beside you, Lady Louise.
Louise: You've become such a wonderful woman!

— On the character status screen

Duo conversation

Louise: Oh, little Igrene! Would you have a look at this? Do you have any idea what it could be?
Igrene: Lady Louise, surely I'm old enough to no longer be called "little Igrene."
Louise: Good heavens, silly me. I suppose I still think of you as a little girl. And what an adorable little girl you were! Always carrying around that bow that was larger than you, following in Hawkeye's every step.
Igrene: My father was my entire world in those days. But then you and Lord Pent came along and expanded my world. Those stories of the Etrurian capital you told me, the local myths and legends... They sounded like magical dreams to someone like me, who had only known life in Arcadia.
Louise: Oh my, really? Here I thought we were boring you. I'm glad they had such an impact.
Igrene: I felt so lonely after you and Lord Pent left... My father was troubled by how often I cried. He frequently scolded me over it, saying it was not fitting for a future Desert Guardian. Even still, I longed to see you both again someday.
Louise: I'm so sorry... But how wonderful that we have been reunited! We can speak about all manner of things that we weren't able to before. There is so much I want to ask you!
Igrene: I feel the same. There are so many of my own stories that I want to share with you.
Louise: Let's make some delicious tea, then, shall we? It pairs well with long conversations.

— Duo conversation

Level 40 quote

Igrene: Did you enjoy everything the festival of Nabata had to offer, Lady Louise? And you, <player>? It may have seemed awkward, as the villagers could only mimic what they know of festivals outside Nabata.
Louise: I think it a noble endeavor. You will protect Nabata in this new age, won't you, little Igrene...I mean, Igrene?
Igrene: Yes, I shall carry on the will of Lord Athos and my father—to protect this cradle of humanity and dragons. I pray that their ideals will one day spread throughout the world.
Louise: I believe that time will come. These sentiments and oaths will be passed through generations. But, Igrene... You should not feel constrained by the idea that a guardian's lot must be a lonely one. You are yet young...
Igrene: It may be in the past now, but my love has been spoken for, and I can give it to no other. Just as you would give yours to no other but Lord Pent.
Louise: Oh, how embarrassing. I am afraid I spoke out of turn. Please forgive me.
Igrene: Think nothing of it. We are living in a time of war. Let us move forward, holding our loves close to our hearts.
