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?
Heart-to-Heart[edit]
Pyra
Hey, Brighid! I found something interesting in that shop over there.
Brighid
What is that thing? It looks...quite grotesque...
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.
Brighid
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
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.
The scene fades out for a moment again. Pyra has now left, leaving just Mòrag and Brighid in the kitchen.
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?
[1]
Brighid
I-indeed, that seems wise. We don't want it fighting back.
Mòrag
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
...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
...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
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!
[2]
Brighid
It...It looked me in the eye! Is this thing still alive?!
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!
Pyra
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.
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!
- ↑ Mòrag says "What should I do?" here despite what the text shows.
- ↑ The noise Brighid makes here is more of a shout - closer to "Aaahhh!"
