A man from outside the holy lands, huh?... Tell me, how has the village been treating you so far?

You're armed... you look battle ready but... you're not one of the Flotsam ninjas. Are you a traveller?

They're not the friendliest bunch...

People keep to themselves here. I like it that way.

Terrible! I feel like a walking freak in this place...

I am.

... Kind of.

Sorry, no time to chat.

Don't mind them, let's just say many of them have... trust issues. Can you blame them after the way they've been treated by their own brothers and fathers?

Yeesh...

Don't mind them, the fear of Humans has been ingrained in the upbringing of all Holy Nation citizens for hundreds of years. It's hard to fight against the only logic you've ever known. I guess that's what happens when a nation closes itself off to the rest of the world; our minds close up along with our borders.

Well, isn't that fortunate for me. We don't get many outsiders stopping by our village, makes it mighty challenging for a merc like me to find work. You happen to be hiring, sister?

And what about you? You don't feel the same as them?

Well, ain't my problem.

Aren't you from the Holy Nation lands too?

Well, whatever their excuses, they better watch themselves. I'm not in the mood for their crap.

Sure, how much?

I'm not right now, sorry.

Ha, me? I've travelled enough since leaving Stack to know that no man or woman is trustworthy. But I'm looking to travel again. I guess you always appreciate that which gets taken away from you and, for me, that was my freedom. Which brings me to my question, traveller: Are you hiring? My feet are itching to roam free again...

Knife

No I guess not, why would it be, huh? You already have your freedom within the holy lands...

Knife

Sure, but I've travelled enough since leaving Stack to know that no man or woman is trustworthy... And now I'm looking to travel again. I guess you always appreciate that which gets taken away from you and, for me, that was my freedom. Which brings me to my question, traveller: Are you hiring? My feet are itching to roam free again...

Knife

Ha, me? I've travelled enough since leaving Stack to know that humans are no more tolerable than the rest of you! And I'm about ready to go on another travel. You always appreciate that which gets taken away from you and, for me, that was my freedom. Which brings me to my question, traveller: Are you hiring? My feet are itching to roam free again...

Knife

I get it. But relax, it's nothing personal... Let's talk about something else anyway. I've travelled a lot since I left my hometown with the Flotsam rebels, and I miss it. I'm looking to get out of here and roam free again, are you hiring, outlander?

Well, I'm seasoned enough that I can handle myself in a fight. I'd like 6000 Cats to send back home to my mother in Stack. After that, I'll happily follow you for food and security.

Knife

Well, if you change your mind, you know where to find me.

Having a foreign religion forced down my throat isn't freedom.

None of that matters. One day I'll wipe the Holy Nation from the planet.

Sounds fair, let's go.

I don't have that much money, sorry.

Reply

Wait, you escaped the Holy Nation and left your mother behind?

Reply

On second thought, I've changed my mind.

Knife

Well, it's a whole lot better than the cards the rest of us have been dealt...

Knife

Well, maybe that's one thing you've got in common with the rest of the women here after all...

Knife

It's not that simple... Not all Okranite women feel the same way as us about a revolution. My mother's one of those; very traditional, with a stubborn devotion to god that's nothing short of admirable. So naturally, since I left with the rebels we're not exactly on talking terms. But that doesn't mean I don't care about her. I'll keep sending her my gifts... whether that stubborn old woman likes it or not, ha.

Good luck with that, eh.

I understand. Let's get going.

I see. Well, either way I don't have that much money...
