Attention, Blue Rogues. I know meetings are usually held on the 25th of the month- Unless there's a serious experiment going on, but I think we should have our meeting a bit earlier this time. We've got a lot of things to discuss and I want to make sure it actually happens this month. I expect to see you all at the barracks around noon,

Someone else was sent home?

[Aw man, he just had to comfort Luke the other day after Tear's disappearance.]

[Voice]

[ratatosk_knight]

Because no matter what we do, it won't change anything, so why... why even bother?

[Voice]

[winged_rogue]

[Audible sigh goes here. It's not the first time he's heard words like that.]

Do you know why I originally started the Blue Rogues in Luceti?

[Voice]

[ratatosk_knight]

No, why?

[Voice]

[winged_rogue]

Because bad things were happening and I was tired of sitting still. Other people felt the same way, so I decided to round them all up. If there's one thing I learned back home, it's that you can accomplish more as a team than you can by yourself. Even if our efforts would turn out meaningless in the end, at least we'd have tried to make Luceti a better place.

[Voice]

[ratatosk_knight]

But what's the point in trying if all it does is make the Malnosso angry with us?

[Voice]

[winged_rogue]

You really think they'll be any more merciful if we don't do anything? They're mad at us either way, so we might as well fight back.

[Voice]

[ratatosk_knight]

But...

[Voice]

[winged_rogue]

The sailor who doesn't leave his homeport will never see what lies beyond the sunset. I'd rather go down knowing I put up a fight than sit back and live with the guilt of not even having tried to push Luceti's boundaries. Besides, even if we can't take on the Malnosso, we can still protect the villagers from other threats.

[Voice]

[ratatosk_knight]

You don't need me to help you do that, but I hope... I hope the Blue Rogues can do something against the Malnosso. And I know you can protect Fina.

[Voice]

[winged_rogue]

Don't be stupid, Emil. Of course we need you. But this isn't something you should do for the Blue Rogues. This is something you should do for yourself.

[Voice]

[ratatosk_knight]

But what I want to do for myself right now is... never mind.

[Voice]

[winged_rogue]

Here's what we'll do. I'll give you a little more time to think things over. If you still feel this way one month from now, you can still leave the Rogues.

[Voice]

[ratatosk_knight]

... okay. I'm really sorry, Vyse. I hope you're not mad at me or anything.

[Voice]

[winged_rogue]

Of course not! Don't worry about it.

[Voice]

[ratatosk_knight]

Thanks.
