First, new military discoveries, and now reinforcements in the ranks of Silverdawn's warriors. A perfectly logical move, given the now crystal-clear trajectory. But now, by all appearances, the time had come for active measures.

Having greeted her lord as etiquette demanded, she turned her gaze toward the stranger who had addressed her.

— A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Sir Noxis. Your speech is well-spoken, and your bearing shows the discipline of an experienced warrior. I have no doubt your talents will serve Silverdawn well.

- I confess, my lady, that I am here first and foremost out of self-interest — for me and my precious wife, the Surface proved unfamiliar and full of indescribable horrors, and so we had no choice but to turn to our acquaintance, Lord Cartridge, for aid. Now it falls to me to lend my hand to defending the interests of our new home.

— I have heard tell of how different life in Izkazan is compared to ours, so I can understand your surprise and unfamiliarity. Moreover, these are volatile times, and the way of life in other regions of Tezoth may change drastically in the coming months. But there is nothing shameful in your self-interest, Sir Noxis. Rare is the outsider who will take up arms to defend a land that seems foreign to them without additional cause. And yours is among the purest and most noble of motivators. There is no secret in this, but I too confess that self-interest once led me to Silverdawn. I stood against the monsters of Lamento not out of some lofty sentiment or a desire to protect those dear to me, but for the clink of coin. My sword served first and foremost to secure my own survival. But time passed. And with it, Silverdawn as a whole and Lamento in particular became my new home. Alongside that, self-interest gave way to a desire to protect those who were once strangers but became my friends. A desire to defend the way of life of these lands that had grown so close to my heart. And so I became what you see before you now. Not a sellsword fighting for herself, but a knight standing guard over Silverdawn. I would like to believe these lands will also grow on you and your wife.
