Dialogue

Accepting the quest:

Hirase: You've been busy, haven't you? And now you're here to ask if I need help with anything? Heh, now that you mention it...

Hirase: Lately we've had trouble with ravenous sharks that've been leaping out of the water and making off with our fish. Damndest thing, I know, but you wouldn't doubt it if you saw it.

Hirase: We've got to cull the thieving bastards regularly─so happens I sent three of my mates out there before you came along. Still, the more the merrier. If you can kill two or so, that ought to be enough.

Hirase: Take a few of those rotting fish as bait. I'll not be needing them. Oh, and maybe see if you can't find the other group. They've been away longer than I like.

Speaking with the industrious pirate:

Industrious Pirate: Oh, kami be praised! I don't know what I would've done if you hadn't come along.

Industrious Pirate: My partners and I got separated when we fled. You haven't seen them, have you?

Industrious Pirate: Damn... Before the Kojin started chasing us, their leader asked us if we were Doman...

Industrious Pirate: They're Yotsuyu's catchers, I know it! First Isari, and now this! I've got to tell Rasho and the others!

Rescue the industrious pirate:

Alisaie: Ah, there you are, [Forename]. I heard you went shark hunting?

Alisaie: We too did our fair share of beast culling─though I think Lyse made a stronger impression when she bested a drunken pirate in a sparring match. Fastest knockout to date, I am told.

Alisaie: I should like to think we have proven ourselves to be rather─ Hm. Why do I get the feeling you have something important to tell me?

Alisaie: Kojin mercenaries rounding up Doman Confederates? Surely Yotsuyu has crossed the line now...

Alisaie: We must go and speak with Rasho immediately. Even he cannot deny that this changes everything.

Alisaie: At least, I should like to think that he cannot...

Speaking with Rasho:

Tansui: Our most compassionate acquaintances return. For your deeds, we owe you many thanks.

Tansui: ...But something tells me our thanks are not sufficient. The strange thing is, I was certain you understood our position. And yet here you are with that same look in your eyes─and those same words upon your lips, I'll wager.

Alisaie: I speak only the truth. The Confederacy will not be spared Yotsuyu's wrath. You have always known this─that one day you would have no choice but to stand up to the Empire. I say to you that day is today, and come once more to ask that you join us in the fight.

Tansui: How convenient that recent events should lend such credence to your claims. Tell me, do death and destruction always follow in your wake?

Rasho: They had no part in it, Tansui. You know this. We all know this.

Rasho: They came and took our Doman brothers. They will torture them for her sport─murder them for her satisfaction.

Rasho: So we attack, and get butchered for our trouble...or do naught, and let them have their pound of flesh.

Rasho: If this be our choice, I say we suffer the ignominy. We endure. We survive. There is no better path.

Rasho: Until the day our enemy is grown weaker, and we stronger, there can be no retribution. We will wait for a sign. Such is the judgment of the Confederacy.

Lyse: So that's it, then. You're just going to abandon them. To her.

Lyse: They'd die for you, you know─for the Confederacy. They would die for you, but you wouldn't even think to risk your lives for theirs!

Alisaie: I have one last idea, if you will allow. I'm afraid it's not very good as ideas go─it's exceedingly reckless, in fact, and you may well come to despise me for ever having suggested it. Assuming we survive, that is.

Alisaie: The question being: do you trust me?

Q: What will you say?

A1: Do you even need to ask?
A2: Ask me again later.
Lyse: We can't stand by and let innocent people suffer─here or anywhere else. I'll do whatever it takes.1

¹The dialogue is the same regardless of the chosen answer.

Alisaie: Then let us roll the dice.

Alisaie: If it's a sign you want, we shall give you one. One rousing enough to make you drive every Garlean out of Isari without a second thought.

Alisaie: You are wary of invoking the ire of the imperial forces stationed in Doma, correct?

Alisaie: Know then that once we have rescued our comrade and freed Isari, we mean to liberate the nation as a whole.

Alisaie: You will doubtless require assurances that we are capable of achieving this─and that is only fair. Accordingly, we shall demonstrate our seriousness by depriving the Garleans of a key ally: the Kojin.

Tansui: What, the three of you? Just like that?

Alisaie: Actually, my esteemed colleague here will attend to it on [him/her] own. But the how of it is not your concern─only the outcome.

Alisaie: If we succeed, you help us liberate Isari. If we fail, you lose nothing. A simple enough wager─if you have the stones for it.

Tansui: The little miss does make it hard to refuse, does she not?

Rasho: Words are air. We will weigh you by your deeds.
