Rescue (chapter)/Script

Before battle

(Mercenary Fort)

Rhys: Oh, Titania. So this is where you've been, hasn't it?
Titania: Rhys! Are you sure you're well enough to be up?
Rhys: Yes. My fever's completely gone.
Titania: Are you sure? You still look a bit unsteady on your feet if you ask me.
Rhys: Well, I’ve been in bed for almost a week. I doubt anyone would be in top form--even you, my friend!
Titania: I certainly hope that’s all it is. In any case, until you’re back at full speed, you won’t be doing any work. We’re mercenaries, after all, and…
Rhys: “Even the smallest lapse invites death.” Right? I know, I know.
Rhys: My apologies to the rest of the team, then. It looks like I’ll be recuperating for a while longer.
Titania: Mm, it’s for the best. Take your time and get fully rested and restored.
Titania: You are our sole staff wielder, Rhys… The harder our work, the more we depend on you to be at our sides.
Rhys: Thank you for your kind words.
Titania: Oh, by the way… That paper you’ve been carrying around… Is it a letter?
Titania: I’d intended to go into town this afternoon. I can deliver it for you if you like.
Rhys: Oh, no. This letter is for you, Titania.
Titania: For me?
Rhys: Not more than a little while ago, I went out for a walk around the yard and…
Rhys: A man I’ve never seen before came up to me and said… "Give this to the red-tressed knight".
Titania: How curious… I wonder what it is.
Rhys: I imagine it’s a thank-you letter from the people of Caldea or something to that effect.

(brief overview of the map as Titania reads the letter)

Titania: Oh, no! How dare they!?
Rhys: Titania? What’s the matter? What did the letter say?

(if Oscar is alive)

Titania: …Rhys! Take this letter to Oscar, and tell him to prepare for combat and wait for me!

(If Oscar died)

Titania: …Rhys! Take this letter to Ike. Tell him to prepare for combat and wait for me here!

Titania: I have to go out for a moment.
Rhys: Uh, but, Titania?
Titania: I’ll be right back! I’m counting on you!
Rhys: What on earth could that letter have said?
