Gwynn

Good to see you again.
What are you doing here?
|
Riordan
|
Something strange has been reported in Hilder Forest.
I was stopping here on my way to investigate.
|
Gwynn
|
Hilder Forest...? The forest beyond Ainle?
Ortel Castle is there, but...
|
Gwynn
|
Is the situation serious?
|
Gwynn
|
Why aren't reinforcements being sent there?
Is is because of Fobellow Prairie?
|
Riordan
|
I honestly don't know. With the order against deploying
additional troops there, there's little we can do.
|
Gwynn
|
Ingkells! How did you get here...
Oh, pardon me, sir. I am Gwynn...
|
Ingkells
|
It's quite all right.
Don't be so nervous.
|
Riordan
|
What is the meaning of this?
Why are you here?
Are you still following me around?
Don't you trust me?
|
Ingkells
|
So THAT's what it was all about? I thought
you were running away from me all this time.
|
Ingkells
|
Ah, we'll fight later.
Just return my soldiers for now.
|
Ingkells
|
No? Is it that you CAN'T return them,
or is it that you don't WAN'T to?
|
Riordan
|
What does it matter?
My answer still stands.
|
Ingkells
|
That's fine. I don't care what your answer is.
You can't refuse to return my own men.
|
Riordan
|
They are now my soldiers.
I won't let you take them back.
|
Ingkells
|
Ha, Riordan! When did you become such a child?
|
Ingkells
|
Look, relax...I'm only taking a few of my men back.
Don't be a child about this.
|
Riordan
|
Hmph! Why not take these mercenaries here?
They should be...adequate for your needs.
Trained soldiers are wasted on your command.
|
Ingkells
|
(Ingkells is no longer listening.)
You...!
What?
|
Ingkells
|
Haha, look who it is!
Is it really you, Aodhan?
|
Aodhan
|
Ingkells, what are you doing here?
|
Ingkells
|
This is marvelous!
I never expected to find you here.
You must be the captain of the
mercenary unit here?
|
Ingkells
|
Splendid! I need someone I can trust.
|
|
(Ingkells looks at Riordan, as though
he only just noticed him.)
|
Ingkells
|
Really, why are you still here? Surely you have
something better to do than waste our time.
|
Riordan
|
Eh?! I...was just passing by!
|
Riordan
|
Are you saying you don't need any support?
|
Ingkells
|
I certainly don't need your support.
I'd trust these mercenaries over your soldiers.
|
Riordan
|
...Do as you wish.
But I'll be keeping my eye on you.
|
|
(Riordan kicks open the door and leaves.)
|
Ingkells
|
Temper, temper... Hahaha.
Anyway, how long has it been since we last met?
You haven't changed a bit.
Oh, have you met Silberin?
|
Aodhan
|
Salute to him.
This is Lord Ingkells.
|
Marrec
|
Ingkells? Lord of Ortel Castle?
It is an honor to meet you!
|
Marrec
|
Everyon [sic] in Colhen has heard about you, sir.
I grew up hearing about your heroic exploits.
Before I could even lift a sword...
You were my hero.
|
Ingkells
|
Good to hear, son.
And you are...?
|
Marrec
|
Oh, I should introduce myself.
I am Marrec, a Crimson Blade mercenary.
This here is Ceara, and that is Gallagher.
|
Aodhan
|
This mercenary is in the process of entering the Royal Academy.
|
Ingkells
|
The Academy? Are you telling me that this mercenary
is to become a soldier of the Royal Army?
Now, Aodhan, I really thought that...
|
Ingkells
|
Hm.
Well, all right then. I assume, Aodhan, that
any one of your men would be trustworthy.
An interesting group you've gathered here.
|
Aodhan
|
Thank you, sir.
But is there something wrong?
What brings you all the way up here?
|
Ingkells
|
There is indeed something wrong.
It would be better for you to see it for yourself.

You received information on Battle: Beginning of the Memory.

Ingkells

You'll see what I'm talking about.
