Edelgard & Constance

Constance
volume_up

Pardon, but might you possibly be the Imperial princess herself?

Edelgard
volume_up

I am. And you are Constance of House Nuvelle.

Edelgard
volume_up

I recall hearing of your disappearance. I never would have imagined you'd end up in a place like this...

Constance
volume_up

Your presence is equally curious. What business could you have here?

Constance
volume_up

Don't tell me it was idle curiosity.

Edelgard
volume_up

As I believe you are well aware, we were chasing after a suspicious individual.

Dimitri

What do you think, Professor? This is a most... unique town, is it not?

Dimitri
volume_up

Incredible, really, that those who faced oppression on the surface are able to find sanctuary here.

Dimitri
volume_up

Oh, not to say that there's no helping the situation in Fódlan. To do just that is our duty and our honor.

Dimitri
volume_up

Even so, I find the idea...rather lovely.

Claude

Claude

Who knew an entire town was hiding beneath the monastery?

Claude
volume_up

And a secret fourth house to boot. Secrets upon secrets—oh, I'm just itching to know them all!

Claude
volume_up

I'm sure Rhea knows all about this place. Gods, how many secrets does that lady have?

Linhardt

Linhardt
volume_up

Oh. Hello, Professor. Have you seen this library of theirs?

Linhardt
volume_up

It's completely different from the one in the monastery. And their collection is amazing.

Linhardt
volume_up

There are forgeries and banned books. Legends, spells, and heresies. Doubt I'll catch a single wink tonight.

Ashe

Ashe
volume_up

It looks like this is where the people of Abyss leave their unwanted belongings.

Ashe
volume_up

I didn't expect to find much, but there's actually plenty of gear we could salvage.

Ashe
volume_up

I'm told we can take anything we can use, so it might be good to check on it now and again.

Hilda & Balthus

Hilda
volume_up

Heya, Professor! Allow me to introduce you to my brother's best friend. You can call him Baltie.

Balthus
volume_up

Actually, it's Balthus. You've probably heard of me. In the Alliance, I'm known as a...how should I put it?

Balthus
volume_up

Heh, something like that. To be precise, I'm known as the Undisputed King of Grappling!

Hilda
volume_up

Right answer! This guy's notorious for picking fights and shirking debts. He's got a whole army of bounty hunters chasing after him.

Balthus
volume_up

I may not look it, but I was once a noble from a minor house. Life's full of twists and turns.

Hilda
volume_up

I know you, Baltie. I'm pretty sure you got yourself into this mess.

Yuri

Yuri
volume_up

You're not a holy knight, and you don't seem all that special, but you're certainly mysterious, wielding that Hero's Relic.

Yuri
volume_up

Yeah, I've heard all about you. But I never figured I'd see you down here, chasing after someone and getting lost in the process.

Yuri
volume_up

The classroom for the Ashen Wolf House. Just so we're clear, we're not affiliated with the Officers Academy.

Yuri
volume_up

That's right. And so we're clear, the Ashen Wolf House isn't affiliated with the Officers Academy.

Yuri
volume_up

Since we're not part of the academy, it's really just in place for us. Can't go to the surface either. We've all got our reasons.

Yuri
volume_up

We're a unique bunch from all walks of life. Once you get to know us, I'm sure you'll love it here.

Hapi

Hapi
volume_up

Hey, new person. Want my advice? Don't wander too far off the beaten path.

Hapi
volume_up

Abyssians like their privacy. If you go snooping around, there's bound to be trouble.

Hapi
volume_up

Wait, did I introduce myself? My name's Hapi.

Abysskeeper

Abysskeeper
volume_up

Hey, you. Listen up. I've got something to report. It's about you outsiders. Actually... Guess I shouldn't bother reporting you to yourself.

Abysskeeper
volume_up

The Ashen Wolves may seem tough, but they're harmless. Honestly? Things can get pretty boring down here.

Abysskeeper
volume_up

But here's a little piece of wisdom from me to you— boredom's a luxury. Trust me. I know these things.

Rogue

Rogue
volume_up

Want a drink? Course you don't. It's all terrible down here...

Rogue
volume_up

Nobody important enough to carry the good stuff wants to come underground to sell it to us.

Rogue
volume_up

It's a shame. Just once I'd like to taste something worthy of a noble.

Rogue

Rogue
volume_up

You're quite a strapping fellow...but even your looks don't compete with the likes of Yuri.

Rogue
volume_up

You're quite a fetching lady...but even your looks don't compete with the likes of Yuri.

Rogue
volume_up

Don't let that pretty face of his fool you, though... He's a rogue, through and through.

Rogue
volume_up

Even so, the people of Abyss trust him. He may be a scoundrel, but he's our scoundrel.

Rogue

Rogue
volume_up

What's all the commotion about? Hey, hang on... I've never seen you before.

Rogue
volume_up

You a first timer? Word of advice. Watch your back.

Rogue
volume_up

The only folks who hang around down here are the ones too shady to walk in the goddess's light.

Elderly Man

Elderly Man
volume_up

Find someone else to bother. Whatever the heck you're selling, I'm not buying.

Elderly Man
volume_up

Not a trader, eh? Sorry. My mistake.

Elderly Man
volume_up

Most folks chatting down here are just pawning off stolen goods.

Mysterious Woman

Mysterious Woman
volume_up

Abyss is where I offer my prayers to my gods. It is the only place.

Mysterious Woman
volume_up

The goddess of Fódlan is not one of my gods, but the statue here is not one of my gods either.

Mysterious Woman
volume_up

I offer my prayers here all the same, because Abyss is where it is allowed.

Boy

Boy
volume_up

You're from the surface, aren't you? I bet you're real bad.

Boy
volume_up

My mom says surface people are the worst.

Girl

Girl
volume_up

I told Yuri I wanted to be just like him when I grew up, and he said I shouldn't ever say stuff like that.

Girl
volume_up

So I told Balthus I didn't want to be like him when I grew up, and he said I'd grow up boring! What do they want me to say?!
