For the freedom of all! For the freedom of all! For the freedom of all!

The first few times I said it, I must confess to feeling some embarrassment, but it's starting to grow on me.

Forename Surname! 'Tis always a pleasure! In Gridania for the Alliance meeting, I presume? So am I!

Riol and Lady Yugiri have already left to pursue rumors of the missing Scions. I think I might head to Gridania myself, and make some inquiries there.

I never realized shinobi were capable of such amazing feats! Mayhap I too should take up the shortblades...

Forename Surname! I joined the Crystal Braves in the hopes of following in your footsteps, and I do not regret the decision─not even for a moment!

A shame that Higiri was not here to welcome Lady F'lhaminn home. Still, it shall be a pleasure to see the look on her face when she returns and learns of her homecoming!

Ah, Forename. Lady F'lhaminn and I were just discussing the possibility of a special dinner for when Riol returns...

Lady F'lhaminn? I sent her outside to enjoy a quiet cup of tea. Much has happened these past moons, and we all can use a rest every now and again.

Even Tataru has her limits, and so I have taken it upon myself to assist her in managing communications with various organizations and our members in the field. Riol and the others are counting on us for our support, after all.

Tataru's entrusted me with the remainder of her responsibilities in her absence. Should you require aught, pray do not hesitate to ask.

I cannot well express how our Doman comrades reacted to the news of their homeland's liberation. They were saddened to hear of the castle's destruction, but they understood that it was in service to a greater purpose.

Hoary Boulder and the others are off visiting the more troublesome beast tribes. It seems that business with Sri Lakshmi inspired an unscheduled scouting expedition...

Those of us who were afield have finally returned. Full glad am I to have everyone back─the place had been too quiet.

Will Isildaure be all right without Homei? They're practically inseparable these days, and I don't think he has many other friends...

Riol has left to rendezvous with Alliance forces. He means to serve in Thancred's stead in their infiltration missions.

In light of the present condition of the Scions, even Riol has returned from afield. Never has there been a greater need to marshal our resources.

The others have left to search for the beacon. Weren't you joining them?

If you are worried about the Archons' bodies, rest assured all is unchanged and well. We here continue taking turns watching over them.

Welcome back, Forename. How do the Archons fare over in the First? When next you see them, you may inform them that their bodies are as well as can be.

Mistress Krile has apprised us of the Archons' present─and unexpected─situation. You may rest assured we will support her in any way we can to keep their bodies safe.

If you are looking for Isildaure and Alianne, they're off to Doma to visit Homei. In his entire time with us, I don't think I've ever seen Isildaure so alive as when he set out.

If you seek Riol, he has left to visit each of the allied armies. Linkpearl conversations are well and good, he said, but there is no substituting face-to-face meetings for strengthening cooperation.

I have conveyed Lord Aymeric's wishes to Coultenet and the others. For the present, their role will be to facilitate communication between our allies and gather information on our enemy.

Lately, the Rising Stones has been a hub of activity. Between combating lunar primals and forging good relations with our new allies, even our newer members have had barely a moment's peace.

We've sent Coultenet and the others to be our eyes and ears in the field. Wherever the Telophoroi appear next, we'll be among the first to know.
