Uh-huh... I see. Hand me this paperwork. I'll sort it out. What? Don't tell me 'I know you can do this'. I'm not a child!

Tch... I had a feeling, but actually hearing the doc dissect my numbers during the checkup was another thing. I need a while away from any missions with Senshi and Laios. Can't keep eating with them at this rate.

I see your face, and I know what you're thinking—'I didn't even know you could eat this!' or something like that. I was reluctant at first, but then I got used to it. Spend enough time with them, and you will too. Uh, not that getting used to it matters or anything, I mean.

*sigh* This is what I get for hanging around Laios and Senshi. Now everyone thinks I'm some monster-loving wacko too. What's that you've got there, Doctor? Senshi's brand new pièce de résistance? ...You look excited, too. Don't tell me you're one of them?

Okay. It's dawned on me that Durins look young because they're actually young—Myrtle more than anyone. That girl is practically a child. I had a brief conversation with her, and she decided I was lying about not being her age—give me a break!

Doctor, Terran mimics are much easier to tell than the dungeon kind. Watch, all it takes to lure one is some bait, just wait for it to bite and you can—ha! Nailed it... Tch, didn't expect there's another one!

I used to manage a guild too, you know. It keeps me on my feet every day, but sometimes even my own kind don't see the point. With Rhodes Island being such a big organization, you should learn to unwind every now and then. Wanna go grab a drink? It's not like the work will run off while you're away, so we may as well relax for now.

Laios and the others believe that giving all you've got equals a happy ending. As if it's ever that simple—what a bunch of morons. You're smart, Doctor. You don't believe in that either, right? ...Come again? I am NOT worried for them!

You want to try dungeoneering? Considering the combat skills you have, you can never have too many extra lives. Okay, how about this? If you really wanna go, then you must follow my instructions when it comes to pathfinding and operation strategies. I'm the expert. For anything else, you and Laios can make it up.

I know I'm sick of Senshi yapping about having a healthy diet, but you might actually need the lecture from him.

I've read through the contract. The terms all look solid, and so do the benefits. If you can pay me upfront, I'll be glad to work with you. I'm being blunt here for good reason—it benefits us all that we hash this out in advance, doesn't it?

You're not gonna try and put me in combat, are you?

Thanks. I'll do however much I'm paid for.

The viciousness of Terra gives dungeons a real run for their money. On top of that, you have some nasty mimics too... Doctor, you ever see a suspicious chest, don't sit on it. Let me deal with it. Understand?

Let's be clear, I'm just the scout. Don't count on me for combat.

This isn't my forte, but I'll try.

Let's go. I've got the route planned.

I hear footsteps.

Anyone need a lock picked?

I scouted this part. All clear.

Hey, this is a LOT of enemies!

Doctor, this is a mistake, right?!

You asked for it!

Don't count on me to do any serious damage!

Cover me already!

They just keep coming!

Doctor, give me a heads-up about this sort of mission next time. Because I'm not coming again.

Good wrap-up, and I'm a little hungry too. Times like this call for... tch, they're tainting me.

You guys recover for now, I'll keep watch. Don't worry, if anyone approaches, I'll hear.

Good thing I secured our escape route... everyone follow me!

Time I mapped out Rhodes Island.

Hey!

Doctor, go for a round?

Arknights.

A party? Count me out. Some Durin buddies got hold of some good booze, I'll go meet with them and we're getting ourselves smashed. If you want a round yourself, you're free to come by. Oh yeah, and Happy New Year.

Doctor, you're not here just to see me, are you?

To be honest, I was pretty skeptical of you at first. People who say they'll help for nothing are usually up to some pretty shocking stuff behind your back. Now? Now I believe a do-gooder can be real, I'll say that...
