VALENTINE'S DAY

  • 'i've lived most of my life receiving gifts rather than giving them, but truth be told, i've always been fascinated by the art of gift-giving'

WHITE DAY

  • 'i may have said this before, but i've lived my life receiving a lot more than i've given..... ahahaha, just kidding. please consider it a bashful joke from me and laugh it off.'

HAPPY NEW YEAR

  • 'since i'm usually on a mission this day of the year, i often forget to just relax and enjoy the festivities.... ahahhaha. what a wonderful feeling it is, to be able to sit down and unwind with you like this'

FATE EP 1

  • reconnaissance, sabotage and diversionary tactics

-

  • similar to undercover operatives, we often take on classified missions requiring persuasion and assassination

-

  • i, in particular, am well-known for exposing traitors in our midst through inquisition

-

  • since i specialize in unmasking possible turncoats, many among the praetors despise me. i've long forgotten how to trust people'

LITTLE SKYFARER EVENT - 1

  • 'aye. i swear upon my sword, body, and soul to pursue all that is just.'

-

  • 'charlotta fenia, the greatest captain our order has ever seen'

-

  • 'a harvin's miniature frame may not be fit for battle, but her incredible swordsmanship and charisma transcend such limitations'

-

  • 'as far back as my memory stretches, this inquisition may be my most difficult mission yet'

-

  • 'captain charlotta fenia (dono). it's an honor to finally meet you'

-

  • 'i am cordelia garnet, last resort of the praetors of the lumiere order of holy knights'
  • 'no need for frivolous discussion. i believe you know why i've come'

-

  • 'by the virtuous name of His Eminence, and in accordance with the lumiere inquisition code, i bid you, answer my question'

-

  • 'what does justice mean to you/ swear to the azure sword that you will speak no falsehood!'

-

  • it is?

-

  • captain! get a hold of yourself! captain charlotta!'

-

  • 'lyria, sorry to get straight to business, but this is urgent. please fetch a rag and a flagon of cold water'

-

  • 'she's been whispering little skyfarer's lunch over and over like she's having some kind of nightmare'

-

  • 'you're...'

-

  • 'captain charlotta, bridgette - and even baortorda (dono). i'm surprised to see you all on the same airship'

-

  • 'ah, let us save the pleasantries for later. first we need to carry her to a place where she can rest'

-

  • 'and then she suddenly collapsed before i could finish the inquisition process'

-

  • 'take what? what do you mean?'

-

  • 'what? really?'

-

  • 'wait, surely you can't be speaking of the captain charlotta?!'

-

  • 'the same charlotta that demonstrated the true extent of harvin's strength? the most celebrated captain in the history of the order of holy knights'

-

  • 'our order's very symbol of justice - obsessing over silly meals designed for children? what slander!'

-

  • 'aye. i had my doubts earlier but have since cast them aside. i must be resolute in the investigation'

-

  • 'i'm sorry lyria. i must perform my duty. there's nothing you could say to -'

-

  • (heh. i might as well have a patent on playing the villain)

-

  • 'i am a knight of the lumiere order. and i shall show captain charlotta the respect and honor she deserves'

-

  • 'as you have suggested, we will give maximum priority to the captain's recovery'

-

  • 'but baotorda(dono), i won't forget what you said'

-

  • 'then negotiations are settled'

-

  • (not only are you loved by all of the order, but by these people as well... could it be your righteousness or something else entirely...)

-

  • 'no. i have simply chosen a course that will not bring shame to the lumiere order of holy knights'

-

  • 'what are you implying? cut it out bridgette'

-

  • (sevastien... i've heard of him)

-

  • 'who hasn't? i once heard of two countries embroiled in a bitter cold war. but when the lumiere gourmand came to feed them and broker peace... the war ended and the nations thanked the order for sending the gourmand'

-

  • 'those miraculous missions were deemed the Serve Our Underserved Populations Operations - SOUP Ops. they are still quite a common topic around the order's halls'

-

  • 'i was just thinking... what if captain charlotta tried some of sevastien's cooking? do you think it would aid in her recovery?'

-

  • 'in truth, i have never seen nor heard of such a dish'

-

  • 'uh... a - all right'

LITTLE SKYFARER EVENT - 2

  • 'huh? you said the same thing earlier. what do you mean put on? this is my face'

-

  • 'uh... where are you going with this?'

-

  • 'that was my plan all along. i am not one to go back on agreements. we'll put our strength together and claim victory'

-

  • 'well, captain charlotta. what's happened?'

-

  • (cordelia simply and coldly states a question)

-

  • 'we thank you for the offer, but it won't be necessary. bridgette and i want to do this by ourselves'

-

  • 'competition aside, your inquisition will begin as soon as this is all over captain charlotta'

-

  • 'and i've heard you left the order to reach new heights. quite an unprecedented case'

-

  • 'i find it hard to believe that one regarded as the strongest knight in the history of the order would do this'

-

  • 'i will thoroughly scrutinize your reasoning and explanation as you make your appeal'

-

  • 'and what would that be?'

-

  • 'hey! you're a captain! don't lower your head so lightly!'

-

  • 'no... nothing like that...'

-

  • 'but bridgette, please stop calling me 'dear''

-

  • 'for lumiere's sake... whenever i have to talk to you, it makes me so agitated... at any rate, shall we start with gathering the ingredients?'

-

  • 'i'm not sure you could call what i make cooking per se. there's not enough time in the day, so i don't make anything that requires a lot of effort'

-

  • 'it's usually just easy to make, ready to eat food. if i've got guard duty, patrol duty, or if i'm out on an investigation, i'll need something i can eat efficiently'

-

  • >prioritied quickness over quality<

-

  • 'just when it comes to food. but you, on the other hand, you've always been good at cooking, treating us to meals countless times'

-

  • 'watching you cook so eagerly in your little apron - haha - you were so lovely. i've always secretly admired you'

-

  • 'as far as nutrition is concerned, i am among the most careless in the order. your talent is something i could never imitate. your food is delicious'

-

  • 'haha i see your point. it's not a half bad idea'

-

  • 'hmm... this store has a great atmosphere'

-

  • 'they stock famous goods from all over the sky. we could probably fin something good. come, let's peek inside'

-

  • 'oh, they even have lumiepton blend tea'

-

  • 'ah, and they have those rare tea leaves too! they don't even sell these in the kingdom anymore. i can't believe they have these here!'

-

  • 'oh bridgette. sorry, seeing all these rare teas, i just couldn't help myself'

-

  • 'it's good to stop in a hole-in-the-wall once in a while. sometimes you'll come across a diamond amongst the coal'

-

  • 'so, finished shopping?. i apologize for leaving that to you. here - i'll carry the bags'

-

  • 'hand over the other too. it would be dishonorable to not do my fair share'

-

  • 'haha, go easy on me'

-

  • 'i often see cakes and cookies that use tea leaves, but this is the first time i've heard of tea in a dish'

-

  • 'haha. now i'm really excited to see what'll come out of our collaboration'

-

  • 'is that..'

-

  • 'bridgette hold back! wait! i'll help too!'

-

  • <'it's been a while since i've cooked. normally i eat out or just eat something simple'>

-

  • 'wh - what's going on!'

-

  • 'baotorda (dono)! why are you so calm! you're not going to back the captain up?'

-

  • 'what do you -'

-

  • (that man... the praetors have put a top bounty on his head... but against her swordsmanship, he looked like a baby wielding a rattle... the rumors about the captain certainly aren't without merit)

-

  • 'it's... it's nothing'

-

  • >dear cordelia, i know that you love tea and sweets!'

LITTLE SKYFARER EVENT - 3

  • 'we were just asking captain charlotta about her culinary preferences. it seems she's not one for bitter flavors'

-

  • 'could it be a banana friedough perhaps?'

-

  • 'i saw an advertisement for them in the streets of port breeze. they're all the rage there'

-

  • 'we should do the same. we're still in the middle of preparing the next course'

-

  • 'oh bridgette, would you mind going back to the kitchen alone? i have something that needs taking care of'

-

  • 'thanks. i'll be back soon'

-

  • 'baotorda(dono), may i have a moment of your time?'

-

  • 'i thought i heard a strange voice...'

-

  • 'actually... if i'm not interrupting something, i wanted to hear your reason for renouncing the lumiere order of knights'

-

  • 'no... this has nothing to do with captain charlotta's trial. it is purely my own interest'

-

  • 'there must be a reason that led you to your decision'

-

  • 'certainly, but allow me to brew it'

-

  • 'i see...'

-

  • 'were those children unharmed?'

-

  • 'really, them!'

-

  • 'i see...'

-

  • 'i believe we have. thank you'

-

  • 'i'll take my leave now, lest i see all your cards'

-

  • 'haha... confident, aren't you?'

-

  • 'but i'm afraid i've left bridgette to do all the cooking. until next time'

-

  • 'don't mention it'

-

  • 'we should use this as garnish. graviar's savory flavor should go very well with the dish'

-

  • 'it was the highest paid item that shop had. that's how much people are willing to pay for it right now.'

-

  • 'praetor duties often involve entertaining others. when i need to impress someone, especially women, well, the easiest way is a little wining and dining' (small laugh)

-

  • 'ive heard the praetor commander does something similar... using delicious food to force peoples's mouths to open'

-

  • 'trust in our victory. adults have certain tastes and when you target them specifically...'

-

  • 'that's the idea. graviar loses its flavor quickly'

-

  • 'it's mature to empty the can after you open it. this is the highest form of prudence amongst grown-ups'

-

  • 'if it's for the sake of fine dining, then there's nothing wasteful about it'

-

  • 'bridgette, it seems cost is your main concern but the truly important things are taste and emotion'

-

  • 'here, judge for yourself. you've got your hands full so i'll feed you'

-

  • 'haha. what's gotten into you? we're friends, aren't we? stop blushing and open wide. here comes the airship'

-

  • 'so? the flavor's quite good isn't it?'

-

  • 'haha. good, good. i'm glad you had an opportunity to understand an adult's palate'

-

  • 'of course. we'll just put it on a small piece of bread with a thin slice of cheese... here, try this'

-

  • 'well, meal accomplished... but just how long are you going to stand there?'

-

  • 'haha. not you, bridgette. i knew you hadn't realized, so i pretended not to notice either'

-

  • 'i realized there were people outside the door right after we began plating. just as i suspected, it was you three'

-

  • 'haha. i am the last resort of the praetors, after all. if i couldn't spot you, then what use would i be on a mission?'

-

  • 'grown... uptitude? what in the skies is that?'

-

  • 'you spied on baotorda as well? haha i have to admit - that's a bold move'

-

  • 'one day while i was visiting baotorda(dono) on business, he showed me how to cook a recipe. it was a thorough demonstration'

-

  • 'unwavering confidence, tenacious fighting spirit, consideration for captain charlotta... he's an upstanding character who has it all'

-

  • 'baotorda(dono) certainly knew you were watching him, and without saying a word, he showed you everything you needed to see'

-

  • 'haha, precisely. that's maturity, or as you're fond of calling it, grown-uptitude'

-

  • 'haha. are you also capable of making such a king-hearted display of a big skyfarer's lunch?'

-

  • 'forever pure, forever righteous. this will be a battle to the delicious end'

-

  • 'bridgette. you're going to pierce a hole right through me with that staring'

-

  • 'there's something you want to talk about, isn't there? out with it'

-

  • 'yes. that was our arrangement'

-

  • 'those who disregard the time-honored traditions of the order of the holy knights are an insult to His Eminence and shall face inquisition'

-

  • 'this is the duty of all those that would call themselves praetors'

-

  • 'yes... why?'

-

  • 'heh, i have no idea what you're trying to suggest, but i've hardly reached -'

-

  • 'bridgette, what caused you to think this?'

-

  • 'as long as you're beside me, i don't have to worry. what's just, what's unjust - i won't lose sight of these again'

-

  • 'i, too, took the vows of the order, so i must devote myself to the justice that i can believe in'

LITTLE SKYFARER EVENT - 4

  • 'we wanted to create something with a texture pleasing to both the eye and palate'

-

  • 'haha.. ahem, excuse me'

-

  • 'heh, i can see it. the way she's holding the spoon in her mouth, it's like she's retrieved her childhood innocence'

-

  • 'well met'

-

  • 'we weren't able to comply with captain charlotta's wishes after all'

-

  • 'captain charlotta, per our agreement, we will now begin the inquisition procedures'

-

  • 'by the virtuous name of His Eminence, and in accordance with the lumiere inquisition code, i bid you, answer my question'

-

  • 'what does justice mean to you/ swear to the azure sword that you will speak no falsehood!'

-

  • 'your justice has been witnessed'

-

  • 'your integrity has never been forgotten. there is no other captain that we, the lumiere order of holy knights, can so proudly boast of'

-

  • 'how would one find fault on hands so pure?'

-

  • 'captain charlotta's replrt will consist of and should consist of nothing but the truth'

-

  • 'and one more thing... captain charlotta, i want to take this moment to offer my deepest apologies'

-

  • 'captain, i humbly ask for your forgiveness'

-

  • 'yes, ma'am'

-

  • 'heh, i told you didn't i? i have to follow my own justice too'

-

  • 'i've come to deliver the verdict of the inquisition concerning captain of the lumiere order of holy knights charlotta fenia'

-

  • sir! (hm? where have i heard that voice before?'

-

  • 'sevastien(dono)! why are you here?'

-

  • the archpraetor... b - but this can't be!'

-

  • 'd - does captain charlotta know that you command the praetors?'

-

  • 'then why show yourself to me?'

-

  • 'a classified mission? what are the details of this mission?'

-

  • me? a bridge between you and captain charlotta?'

-

  • 'as you decree commander, even if it costs me my life'

-

  • 'but what about captain charlotta's verdict... what is to become of her?'

-

  • 'hah. don't play coy with me. i'm sure with your skills as an espionage, you'll have no trouble at all convincing them'

-

  • 'i swear by this azure sword that i will!'

-

  • (cordelia, the last resort of the praetors)
