Scene 1: Windurst Waters (S)

Dhea Prandoleh: Why, if it isn't PLAYERNAME! Heheheheh....

Dhea Prandoleh: So, hwo does it feel to be the merrrcenary of the moment?

Dhea Prandoleh: The entire camp's been buzzing with the rrrumors of your accomplishments the other day!

Dhea Prandoleh: Why, you even earned the adorration of that wacky little Warlock Warlord. You sure know how to make a gal jealous!

Dhea Prandoleh: I'm so prrroud to be buddies with a mercenary like you.

Dhea Prandoleh: What? You're wonderrring why it's so quiet here at Cobra Command?

Dhea Prandoleh: Hmmm... let's just say that people -- Mithra, in particular -- don't always get along well with each otherrrr, and when that happens, sometimes it's best to keep a low profile until things cool down.

Dhea Prandoleh: Ah.

Dhea Prandoleh: Where do you think you're going!?

Nhiko Rhaabel: Nooo, you can't leave!

Tihl Midurhi: Masterrr Lehko!

Mikhe Aryohcha: Meowww! No one escapes from Mikhe Arrryohcha!

Vhino Delkahngo: Too many rrrivals! Looks like some friendly elimination is in order!

Lhu Mhakaracca: (I said, shut it, Guttler! I'm the one who's gonna feast on the prrrince, not you!)

Haja Zhwan: Therrre!

Nhiko Rhaabel: Nooo, where did he disappearrr to?

Haja Zhwan: Now look what you've all gone and done, scarring him off like that!

Nhiko Rhaabel: Oi, you're the one who trrried to make a mithkabob out of poor Master Lehko!

'''Mikhe Aryohcha: ... This scent is mine, and mine alone! You girrls had better keep your nostrils sealed!

Tihl Midurhi: Keep on drrreaming! I'm not giving up my claim to Master Lehko!

Lhu Mhakaracca: (Damn it, Guttler! How many times do I have to tell you to shut it? Do you want me to thrrrow you away!?)

Nhiko Rhaabel: He can be so coldhearrrted sometimes... so why do I keep on coming back?

Romaa Mihgo: Tihl! Why arrren't you at your post?

Tihl Midurhi: Y-yikes, it's the boss!

Romaa Mihgo: ...And look who else is here. Haja! Mikhe! Vhino! Lhu!

Mikhe Aryohcha: Meow?

Romaa Mihgo: Mercenary leaders like yourselves should know best the dirrre situation Windurst is in!

Romaa Mihgo: And yet I find you all here chasing after a man like love-starved kittens! Isn't there a single morrrsel of shame to be found in this entire litter!?

Mikhe Aryohcha: A-and who are you to prrreach, eh?

Romaa Mihgo: What are you talking about?

Nhiko Rhaabel: Yeah, Romaa! We all saw what happened back at Fort Karugo-Narugo!

Romaa Mihgo: !?

Haja Zhwan: Yeah, you and the prince were getting all snuggly-wuggly up there on that chocobo, to say it in the local dialect!

Romaa Mihgo: Th-that was...

Romaa Mihgo: ...

Romaa Mihgo: These are interesting accusations you bring. Now, how do you all intend to back up your claims?

Mihl Pakorhma: Uh-oh...

Mihl Pakorhma: S-she's ticked off rrreal good...

Romaa Mihgo: Have at me, all of you! We'll see who's right... and who's grrravely mistaken.

Haja Zhwan: You surrre have guts, I'll give you that. I've been itching to test my mettle with you for some time now, so I'm up for whatever you think you can thrrrow at me.

Mikhe Aryohcha: Nooo, me first, me firrrst! Master Lehko's supposed to have a thing for strong women, and I wanna prove myself!

Lhu Mhakaracca: Oh, is that so...? If that's indeed the trrruth, then I'll have to feast on all of you! (Yes, Guttler, you can join in this time.)

Mihl Pakorhma: No, no, no! It wasn't supposed to turn out this way! The boss was supposed to make things rrright!

Mihl Pakorhma: If there's a repeat of the last internal dispute and the ministry buildings end up being rrrazed to the ground again...

Mihl Pakorhma: Us mercenaries will get kicked out of Windurst for good and end up... unemployed!

Mihl Pakorhma: What am I supposed to do!?

Mihl Pakorhma: Ah!

Mihl Pakorhma: Everyone, I've just remembered a very imporrrtant detail. You see this person here?

Mihl Pakorhma: Master Lehko was sniffing at him for his scent just the other day.

Mikhe Aryohcha: M-m-meow!?

Mihl Pakorhma: I smell something deliciously suspicious here. Could they be more than just... frrriends to each other?

Haja Zhwan: What did you say!?

Mihl Pakorhma: (I'm rrreally sorry, PLAYERNAME.)

Mihl Pakorhma: ...

Mikhe Aryohcha: Noooo, that's not trrrue! That's impossible! You must've seduced his innocent hearrrt with a blackened muddy siredon, you contemptible fiend!

Haja Zhwan: Hold it, Mihke. This irresistible arrroma...

Haja Zhwan: A pipira, I gather? You truly are a naive little kitten to believe a dirty trrrick like that will work on veteran mercenaries like us. I think some good old-fashioned bloodletting is in orderrr.

Vhino Delkahngo: Wrrrong again, Haja. This could only be the smell of a greedie. Your nose must be severrrely clogged up with Yagudo glue.

Mihl Pakorhma: (Nooo, they were supposed to be distracted by PLAYERNAME!)

Romaa Mihgo: ...

Romaa Mihgo: Internal warfarrre is the last thing we need right now. PLAYERNAME, I want you to find and bring back the hearththrob who's the cause of all this rrruckus.

Mihl Pakorhma: I caught a glimpse of Lehko making a dash for Odin's Gate. He's prrrobably holing out somewhere in West Sarutabaruta right now.

Scene 2: West Sarutabaruta (S)

Lehko Habhoka: My dear Lady Shikaree G, what a pleasant surprise! I fear, however, that my castle is in a less-than prrresentable state.

Shikaree G: Your sweet-talking will get you nowherrre, Lehko.

Shikaree G: The Fire Tribe has suffered grrrievous casualties from the incident, in the wake of which the perpetual state of destructive unrrrest continues.

Shikaree G: To rub salt into the wound, countless compatriots have crossed the seas to fight for a foreign cause at the cost of their lives.

Shikaree G: Furthermore, the whereabouts of the sinner and her child remain unknown.

Shikaree G: Tell me, Lehko.

Shikaree G: Is it by mere coincidence that I find you here amidst all this misforrrtune?

Lehko Habhoka: As intimidating as ever, I see. You're trrruly worthy of the title of sin hunter.

Lehko Habhoka: Now, if you'll excuse me for answerrring your question with another questino -- what is this unhealthy obsession you have with me? Do you that badly desirre my head?

Shikaree G: ... If Lehko Habnoka is trrruly who you are!

Lehko Habhoka: ...

Shikaree G: Lehko Habnoka is supposed to have met his end by my hand -- unbeknownst to otherrrs.

Shikaree G: At this very moment, he should be spending his eternal slumber in the murky depths of a frozen lake.

Lehko Habhoka: A frozen lake, you say? Gives me the chills just thinking about it. But, if what you say is trrrue, then what do you propose me to be? Some kind of apparition?

Shikaree G: Enough of your games! You will come down here and answer to justice this instant!

Lehko Habhoka: Hmm... King's tear moths, if I'm not mistaken?

Shikaree G: These moths can detect the scent of a sin -- a scent that never fades away. You can rrrun all you want, Lehko, but you cannot hide.

Lehko Habhoka: I commend you on your resourcefulness. Howeverrr...

Shikaree G: What are you--!?

Lehko Habhoka: I've never been much of a bug perrrrson, you see.

Lehko Habhoka: In fact, I'd very much like to spend some quality time with my number-one fan and answer whatever questions she and the well-whetted tines of her trident may have for me.

Lehko Habhoka: But if you'd be so kind as to oblige the whims of a condemned man, I'd like to be arround just long enough to see how events unfold on this continent.

Lehko Habhoka: After that's over and done with, you won't hear a single squeal of complaint from me the next time you come for my head.

Shikaree G: Hmph... You will answer for your sins sooner or laterrr. Don't ever forget it, Lehko Habhoka...

Lehko Habhoka: Phew... The scary woman's finally gone.

Lehko Habhoka: Feel frrree to come out now, PLAYERNAME!

Lehko Habhoka: It's been a while, I trust you've been well?

Lehko Habhoka: Who was that ill-tempered lady, you ask?

Lehko Habhoka: That's a tough question, actually. Not exactly an acquaintance... and not exactly a friend eitherrr. Let's call her the bane of my existence, and leave it at that, shall we?

Lehko Habhoka: So what can I do for you today? No wait, let me take a guess.

Lehko Habhoka: You've been asked by Romaa to find and bring me back. Am I right, or am I right?

Lehko Habhoka: Sorry, but I cannot comply.

Lehko Habhoka: Think about it from my perspective for a second. Going back to where all those murrrderous ladies are would be like marching to my death.

Lehko Habhoka: ...

Lehko Habhoka: U-ugh!

Lehko Habhoka: I... I'm absolutely starrrved...

Lehko Habhoka: You must excuse my prrrotesting stomach. You see, I haven't had a single bite to eat since escaping from the swiping claws of those wildcats -- er, ladies...

Lehko Habhoka: I feel so faint, I can't take another step...

Lehko Habhoka: Of all the Goddess-forrrsaken timing... why must this ill-fortune befall me the very moment I change my mind about not going back to Windurst with you?

Scene 2: Windurst Waters (S)

Dhea Prandoleh: What? Master Lehko has collapsed from starrrvation!?

Dhea Prandoleh: It-it's an emerrrgency! We need to get food to him right away!

Romaa Mihgo: Planning to sneak off somewhere durrring guard duty, Dhea?

Dhea Prandoleh: Awww...

Romaa Mihgo: Hm? Lehko's in trrrouble, you say?

Romaa Mihgo: Not so unusual for a male Mithra, I suppose... PLAYERNAME, I want you to take something tasty to him.

Dhea Prandoleh: I knew it! Deep underneath that demonic exteriorrr, the boss is actually a kind-hearted soul!

Romaa Mihgo: You think so? That's really sweet of you to -- I-I mean, don't misunderstand me! He saved my life, and I'm just returning the favorrr, that's all!

Romaa Mihgo: But, getting back to the order of business... Those raised on the motherland have a notorious rrreputation for being fussy when it comes to cuisine. And I don't want us to be looked down upon as an unrrrefined bunch of Mithra brought up in the sticks....

Romaa Mihgo: A few skewers of Mihgo mithkabob wouldn't been perrrfect for the occassion, but I'm fresh out of ingredients to make more....

Romaa Mihgo: I've got it! Forest carp -- it's a raditional Mithran favorite that's bound to please. Now, what else...

Dhea Prandoleh: Hey, boss!

Dhea Prandoleh: Just thought you might like to know that many of the girls here have vorrracious appetites. Might be worth asking their opinions.

Romaa Mihgo: Good point there, Dhea. PLAYERNAME, why don't you ask arrround the mercenary camp for other food ideas?

Scene 4: West Sarutabaruta (S)

Lehko Habhoka: Ooooh, my poor stomach. It hurrrts so much, I can't even move...

Lehko Habhoka: I r-really need your help, PLAYERNAME. Could you brrring me some food? And if it isn't too much to ask, something... tasty?

Scene 5: West Sarutabaruta (S)

Lehko Habhoka: Uhhhn... I'm growing weaker by the second...

Lehko Habhoka: PLAYERNAME, you're back! I knew you wouldn't abandon me!

Lehko Habhoka: ...

Lehko Habhoka: Th-that is...!

Lehko Habhoka: Did you really brrring me a blackened muddy siredon!? Oh, tell me I'm not dreaming!

Lehko Habhoka: ... That was finger-lickin' good! Thank you so much, PLAYERNAME!

Lehko Habhoka: PLAYERNAME, do you have a bit of time to sparrre?

Lehko Habhoka: Thanks to you, I was able to make a full recovery. I was wondering if you were up for a little strrroll?

Talk about the federation forces.

Lehko Habhoka: Our forrrces were dealt a devastating blow in the previous encounter with the enemy.

Lehko Habhoka: The rrranks of both the War Warlocks and Mithran Mercenaries alike have been thinned out considerrrably. It doesn't take the Warlock Warlord to see the battered state Windurst is in.

Lehko Habhoka: Military tacticians like myself have been left with the daunting task of rrreplenishing their numbers and reorganizing the surviving forces.

Lehko Habhoka: Blood may flow from wounds and despair may threaten to extinguish the flame of courage, but neverrr must we give up the fight.

Lehko Habhoka: Come what may, we must perseverrre, for the continued existence of the Vana'diel that we know is at stake.

Talk about the Crystal War.

Lehko Habhoka: This wretched warrr was brought about by a single man -- the self-proclaimed Shadow Lord.

Lehko Habhoka: His sole desire is said to be the eradication of all the peoples of Vana'diel -- those born from the five tearrrs of Altana.

Lehko Habhoka: But what is the true identity of this Shadow Lord? And to what sick, twisted end does he sow the seeds of destrrruction across the land?

Lehko Habhoka: I don't suppose you'd be able to enlighten me on any of these mysteries, PLAYERNAME?

Lehko Habhoka: To be honest with you, despite my spirited words earlierrr, I fear to wonder what kind of future awaits us after the dust settles...

Lehko Habhoka: This must be the same feeling of despairrrr that all of us -- civilians and soldiers alike -- face each and every day.

Lehko Habhoka: Wasn't there anything about me that you wanted to know, PLAYERNAME?

Lehko Habhoka: After all, the more we know about each other, the closer we become, rrright?

Talk about Lehko's homeland.

Lehko Habhoka: I'm glad you asked. I was borrrn in the capital city of the Gha Naboh Matriarchate -- a nation referred to by Mithra as simply "the motherland."

Lehko Habhoka: Located far, far south across the seas from Mindartia, it is a great nation that occupies the entirrre continent of Olzhirya and its surrounding islands.

Lehko Habhoka: Blessed with abundant nature and rrrich in tradition, Gha Naboh is a nation of hardworking citizens living peacefully under the just rrrule of a wise and beautiful queen.

Lehko Habhoka: ... Is what the brochures would have you believe. Actually, I left there at quite an earrrly age and have psent the majority of my life on the road. So I can't claim to be an expert on al things Gha Nabohan.

Lehko Habhoka: I'd apprrrreciate it if you didn't share this information with others, PLAYERNAME. Maintaining an air of mystery has its advantages.

Talk about Lehko's attire.

Lehko Habhoka: Haha, I've noticed your currrious eyes staring at my jacket for a while now. Not the most suitable article for this climate, is it?

Lehko Habhoka: You see, these jackets are the latest trend back in the motherland. Everyone's going crrrazy over them!

Lehko Habhoka: Haha, I'm pulling your leg, of course. I haven't the faintest memory of what those back at home attirrred themselves in.

Lehko Habhoka: Like I mentioned, most of my life has been spent on foreign shores -- Ulbuka to the west, Aradjiah to the east, and even Rhazowa, the frrrozen northern continent.

Lehko Habhoka: The long stretch of time spent in the north has given me a prrreference to more.... substantial attire, compared to my fellow Mithra.

Lehko Habhoka: It can get quite steamy in here, but I'd feel rrrather naked and exposed if I clothed in any less.

Lehko Habhoka: And you have to admit, it makes for a grrreat conversation starter!

Talk about Robel-Akbel.

Lehko Habhoka: Oh, you're currrious about the Warlock Warlord?

Lehko Habhoka: Well, with his unique appearrrance, I suppose it'd be impossible not to draw attention to himself.

Lehko Habhoka: I'd be happy to tell you what I know.

Lehko Habhoka: But first, let me ask you something. What is your honest opinion of him?

Lehko Habhoka: Do you see him as a hero and fearless leader, worthy of admirrration? Or is the impression he has left upon you that of a cold-blooded and brutal general?

Lehko Habhoka: I myself am inclined to agree that his imposing demeanor does not instill feelings of adorration within others.

Lehko Habhoka: Indeed, those who do not know the man will question his uncompromising approach with harsh scrrrutiny.

Lehko Habhoka: But the mud he smears on his hands and the blood he spills...

Lehko Habhoka: All of it is for the survival and well-being of Windurst.

Lehko Habhoka: In these turrrbulent times, the nationneeds one such as Robel-Akbel -- someone who can make hard decisions for the greater good, even if it means sacrificing his own honor and any forthcoming glory.

Lehko Habhoka: I have absolute faith in the Warlock Warlord, and intend to cooperrrate with him in whatever manner possible.

Talk about Lehko Habhoka.

Lehko Habhoka: I was beginning to think you'd never ask!

Lehko Habhoka: So, is there anything specific you'd care to know about me? My dearrrest mother who brought me into this world? Songs I like to sing in the shower? The all-time favorite, my first kiss? Or perhaps...

Lehko Habhoka: How I ended up as a military tactician in the employ of Robel-Akbel? I bet that's been botherrring you for a while.

Lehko Habhoka: PLAYERNAME, what was your first impression of me when we first me? No need to pull any punches now.

Lehko Habhoka: An effeminate and frrragile, man, you say? I'll have you know that there's an abundance of muscle tissue hiding underneath these garments. Why I don't show you --

Lehko Habhoka: Haha, had you there again, didn't I? No, your first impression prrretty much hit the bull's eye -- I'm as weak as my appearance suggests.

Lehko Habhoka: I seriously wouldn't last three seconds against you, PLAYERNAME. But, to compensate for what I lack in physique, I'm the proud owner of a trrruly nifty weapon...

Lehko Habhoka: That is, my glib-talking tongue!

Lehko Habhoka: "A person's tongue is more powerful than his sword," or so goes the saying.

Lehko Habhoka: Well-sculpted words have the power to strrrike down an enemy thousands of malms away and even bring great nations to ruin.

Lehko Habhoka: Hehehe, it's quite obvious that you're not entirrrely convinced by my bold statement.

Lehko Habhoka: In difficult times like these, it's easy to lose confidence in onself - especially when you're effeminate and fragile, like yours truly!

Lehko Habhoka: So all my high-sounding talk, you could say, is for the purpose of bolstering self-esteem. Silly, isn't it?

Ekal-Mikal: M-Mastaru Lehko...!

Ekal-Mikal: I've been scampering all over Sarutabaruta in search of you! His Excellency wishes your presence.

Lehko Habhoka: Awww, and I was so enjoying the company of this charming gentleman here...

Ekal-Mikal: An emergency meeting has been called, so please proceed to Heavens Tower withoutaru delay.

Lehko Habhoka: Alright, alright, I'm on my way!

Lehko Habhoka: And what about you, PLAYERNAME? Would you by any chance be interested in accompanying me?

Lehko Habhoka: Considering your invaluable assistance in our recent defensive effort, and the fact that you're my close frrriend, I'm sure the others won't mind having you in attendance.

Lehko Habhoka: And before I forrrget, I want you to have this. Think of it as my own little way of saying thanks for the blackened muddy siredon.

Lehko Habhoka: Now, I'll race you back to Windurst Waters, PLAYERNAME!
