Ah, there you are, boy.

You sure have your own way
of doing things, old man.

Then again, I guess that's your
only redeeming quality.

Hey, way to hurt a man's feelings!
I've got a ton of redeemin' qualities!

That's one list you can
just keep to yourself.

I hafta tell ya, I was so surprised to
find out that Belius was that beast--
sorry, I mean, Entelexeia, was it?

Yeah. But it seems like the
story about her engineering
the Great War was a lie.

Prolly just an excuse the empire made
up for them to invade Nordopolica.

Maybe, yeah.

So, is that the Don's
grandson? How'd he
end up here, anyway?

This idiot got fed false information
by Leviathan's Claw and acted
without thinking.

I heard that an ally of the Don's
had been captured by a monster, and
I thought I'd come to save him.

And then I heard that the monster
possessed apatheia, so...

They said that Belius
had been captured?

Apparently that's what Leviathan's Claw
said. So they went down there with the
Hunting Blades to kill the monster.

And that monster was actually Belius, so even
though you got the apatheia, the ally you
were supposed to save ended up dying.

Yeah...

You need ta learn ta take things slower.
Check your information before you rush
out all ready for battle...

Damn it, what the
hell do you know!

...Things like this happen, I guess...

Having the Don for a grandfather
puts a lot of pressure on the boy.

Anyone with a grandfather like that would
be expected to work their butt off, yeah.

Everyone expects too much of him.
So he works hard not to let anyone down,
and then things like this happen...

...Palestralle's not going to
be too happy about this.

Even if he didn't have any choice but to fight,
I doubt they'll take that for an excuse.

That Natz guy should
forgive us, I think.

That would be nice. But Natz isn't
the Duce. It's the others in the
guild we have to worry about.

Well, I don't know how
to get out this mess!

For now I'm going to take
him to see the Don.

Take the ship to Dahngrest as soon
as it's workin' again, would ya?

Gotcha.

I actually do know how to
get out of this, but...

An eye for an eye... It's a matter
between guilds, after all...
