Lilith: “How are you feeling?”
Tyto: “Kinda groggy or foggy.”
Tyto: “I had a strange dream; I was in a wasteland?“
Tyto: “Everything was, is… fuzzy.”
Lilith: “Dreams are strange, vivid and indecipherable.”
Lilith: “Then with the morning, they vanish with the sunlight.”
Tyto: “Mum, you know about the thing, with the princess.”
Tyto: “It seems all the bandits died.”
Lilith: lets out a gentle sigh.
Lilith: “I had hoped to shield you from such things.”
Lilith: “You told me you didn’t even lay a finger on any of them.”
Tyto: “Embarrassing, I know, its’ just that…”
Tyto: “Whether the blow is dealt personally, or you make or happen indirectly.”
Tyto: “I was still the cause…. It is still the same.”

Lilith: “Absolutely! Speaking of trouble…”
Lilith: “You met the princess.”
Tyto: “Yes… she is very energetic.”
Lilith: “Oh yes, getting her to sit down for the portrait was difficult.”
Lilith: “Entire thing felt rushed.”
Tyto: “She tries not to show it …”
Tyto: “She is still haunted by her grandmother’s death.”
Lilith: “Queen Whisper, quite the character as well.”

Tyto: “Oh right, that…, I won’t mention it.”
Sir Quillan: “Don’t be concerned.”

Tyto: “Maybe just as a passing thought.”
Kyaren: “mmm hmm.”
Tyto: “It's good for the circulation.”

Lilith: “Tyto, behave. We are. Going to see the king of Scendal.”
Tyto: “I will.”
Lilith: “You had better, do you have any idea how much trouble we are in here.”
Tyto: “Are we going to have to kneel? It sounds like we have to kneel.”
Titus: “Young Tyto of course we will kneel!”
Laura: “We are lucky to be invited rather than dragged before the king in chains.”
Lilith: “Faraine’s dad does not seem the type to do that.”
Lilith: “Tyto! Refer to the king as HIS majesty!”
Tyto: “We are just going for a talk right; it’s not a big deal is it?”

Kyaren: “This is incredible!”
Tyto: “Yea I did not expect the palace to have this much gold.”
Kyaren: “Tyto, this is not just gold. It is gold mixed with Orichalarite.”
Tyto: “Oricha… kalimari. Say that again.”
Kyaren: “Orichalarite, is a metal that can block magic.”
Tyto: “Woah, you can’t use your magic here?”
Faraine: “You could, I would not advise it however.”
Tyto: “Faraine! Where did you pop out from?”
Faraine: “Were you expecting me to be in another castle?”
Kyaren: “Faraine-about the metalwork, is it all the same?”
Faraine: “Yes, a gold-orichalarite alloy dating back to…”
Faraine: “Whenever they built the palace, I forget the exact date.”
Kyaren: “It’s stifling, like I ‘m in a cage.”
Tyto: “Really? I don’t feel anything.”
Faraine: “I guess only Kyaren feels it as a practised spellcaster.”
Kyaren: “Gold has the ability contain Azralens.”
Kyaren: “Combined with Orichalarite…”
Kyaren: “Attacking the palace with normal magic would be futile.”

Lilith: “Me and dozen other artists.” She curtseys for the princess.”
Faraine: “A joint effort. Speaking of which, Tyto is quite able in a pinch.”
Lilith: “You do my family a great honour, your highness.”
Tyto: “Ohhh we really are in trouble aren’t we.”
