Inn dialogue[edit]

Pyra

Hey, Brighid! If you're free, why don't we go visit some of the shops in Goldmouth?

Brighid

Sure! Sounds delightful!
Mòrag, would you like to come too?

Mòrag

Yes! Why not!

Heart-to-Heart[edit]

Pyra

Hey, Brighid! I found something interesting in that shop over there.

Brighid

Interesting?

Pyra

Yep. Here it is.

Brighid

What is that thing? It looks...quite grotesque...

Mòrag

Why, that's an Argentum Monkfish.

Brighid

You are familiar with this creature, Lady Mòrag?

Mòrag

It's a rare delicacy that is only found in the waters around here. Rather tasty.^[1]

Brighid
(doubtful)

People...eat this monstrous fish thing?

Pyra

It might not look appetizing, but I've heard the taste is divine.
Since it's so rare, I thought I'd cook something up with it, but I'm not sure how...
Mòrag, do you know? Do tell, please!

Mòrag

How should I respond...?

Mòrag
(unvoiced)

I'm not that great a cook...

Trust +200,

Trust +100

Pyra

Oh, no, that's fine! I'm happy to do the messy part.
I just need you to tell me the steps, and then if you could add the spices...

Mòrag

Well, if that is all, I suppose it should be...fine...

Brighid

Are you certain, Lady Mòrag? About the spices and everything?

Mòrag

D-don't you worry. Have some faith in my taste buds...

The scene fades to black for a moment. When it fades in again, the three women are standing in the kitchen of Fishy Fishy.

Pyra

Right then. So, first, how should we cook it...?

Mòrag

...A fine question. Many would eat it grilled, or sliced raw, but I hear it tastes best in a stew.

Pyra

Sounds great! Well then, Mòrag, can I ask you to get the stock ready?

Mòrag

Of course. If I recall, that's made by boiling the guts...

Pyra

I think I can leave you to it then! I'll go buy the other ingredients.

Mòrag

...Roger.

The scene fades out for a moment again. Pyra has now left, leaving just Mòrag and Brighid in the kitchen.

Mòrag

...^[2]
...Brighid?

Brighid

Yes, Lady Mòrag?

Mòrag

Do we have to begin by gutting this ugly little creature?

Brighid

Well, I should think so. Can you do it?

Mòrag

Erm... I'm not even really sure which part the guts are...

Brighid

That would be the parts on the inside. Consider using a knife.

Mòrag

Right...
...Brighid?

Brighid

Yes, what is it now?

Mòrag

The heart... The heart is still beating!
What do I do? Should I deliver the coup de grâce?^[3]

Brighid

I-indeed, that seems wise. We don't want it fighting back.

Another brief fade out.

Mòrag
(as if hassled)

Brighid!
It's...looking at me with those eyes, and moving those lips, like it's accusing me of something...
It's cursing me for taking its heart!
It's no use... I can't torment the dead any further...
Brighid, I'll leave the rest to you.

Brighid

Wait just a minute! You can't force me to do your dirty work!

Mòrag

I'm sorry, but I must!

Brighid

Lady Mòrag! Are you deserting in the face of the enemy?!

Mòrag
(unvoiced)

...Very well, I'll do it.

Trust +100,

Trust +200

The scene fades to black for a moment. When it fades in again, the three women are standing in the kitchen of Fishy Fishy.

Brighid

Lady Mòrag, if I may. Is this really wise...?

Mòrag

Oh, don't you worry yourself.

Pyra

Shall we start by gutting the fish, then?

Mòrag
(wait what)

Excuse me?

Pyra

What's the matter?

Mòrag
(was not ready)

...Gut it? Gut this creature?

Pyra

Well, yes. We can't exactly cook it like that.

Mòrag

...Ahem. Understood. Life is a battlefield. Let us commence.

Brighid

Show it who's boss, Lady Mòrag!

The scene fades out for a moment again.

Mòrag

...^[4]
...Brighid.

Brighid

Yes?

Mòrag

Please hold down its head.

Brighid

Wh-wha...?! No, I, er, that is... I'd rather not...touch it.

Mòrag

It's just a little tricky to make the incision when it keeps...staring at me...

Brighid

Qu-quite true, but...

Mòrag

For the love of the Architect, do it! Please, at least cover its eyes for me!

Brighid

Y-yes, Ma'am. We cannot let a mere fish get the best of us!
Eeeeeeeeeeek!^[5]

Mòrag

What's wrong?!

Brighid

It...It looked me in the eye! Is this thing still alive?!

Mòrag draws her currently-equipped weapon(s).

Mòrag

Can it be?! Then I must end it before it strikes!

Brighid

It's opening its foul maw?!
Lady Mòrag, the enemy means to eat us! Quickly, the finishing blow!

Mòrag
(yelling)

Very well! Hellfire!

Pyra
(panicked)

No, wait! If you do that, the food will be-

Another brief fade out. Mòrag puts her weapons away - Pyra's attempt to get her to stop obviously didn't work.

Mòrag

...Well, Brighid?

Brighid

As befits the Flamebringer. The foe is extinguished without a trace.

Mòrag

Phew. Our mission here is done.

Pyra

What do you think you're doing?! There's nothing left for us to eat!

Notes[edit]

↑ There's a very faint "It's" before the "rather tasty".
↑ Heard as clearing her throat twice.
↑ Mòrag says "What should I do?" instead.
↑ A single "ahem".
↑ Comes out as more of an "Aaahhh!" sort of shout.
