The Tainted Grimoire/Quotes
It (hopefully) goes without saying that memorable quotes go here.
Ch1
The book that would change his fate forever
The opening of the world-spanning adventure!—Narration
Mr. R: "MR. CLEMENS. WHEN I AM GIVING MY LECTURE I EXPECT YOU TO PAY ATTENTION TO ME, NOT THE CLOCK!"—Mr. R addressing Luso.
Luso: What book should I get?
Mr. R: Tell you what. Since it is the last day of school, I'll let you pick the book and you can give me an oral report. "Luso's demeanor becomes sinister."...But the book has to be two hundred or more!. "Luso still searches for an easy book."...Without pictures!—Luso and Mr. R discussing Luso's assignment.
Ch2
The majestic bird
The violent storm of reality now approaches
Lost to the arrow of the hunter, Fate—Narration
Luso: What the heck was that?
Kanin: Just run...
Kanin: It sounds like a cockatrice. Don't worry, those things are relatively harmless; especially the ones in this forest. Here, they barely grow up to just above your knees.
A very large one appears behind them, they see it, causing them to run in fear.
Luso: Barely above your knees, huh?—Luso and Kanin meeting a Mamatrice
Cid: Well, how would you like to make a new family? We may not be the greatest bunch, but what do you have left to lose?
Kanin: Don't worry about not being useful. Mr. Ensei's more of a dead weight then you could ever hope to be.
Luso: ...Are you sure? I mean, I can't do magic or anything like that. I would just be dead weight and...
Ensei: Did he ask if you could boy? He didn't say clan, he said family. The members of Clan Gully are family first and clan second.—Luso joins Clan Gully
Ch3
The Blade
It is with this that I would lay down my life for you
The symbol of pride, the manifestation of my honor, my will—Luso
Luso: So...what exactly does a clan do?
Luso: Sounds like a great policy.
Kanin: Clans in general can do nearly anything, but specifically, there are many different types of clans. There are hunting clans who specialize in monster hunting and taking down marks; escorting clans who transport items and cargo or escort people and VIPs; and soldier clans that fight for a client. There are also clans who do menial chores and even bard clans who perform for people.
Luso: So what type of clan is Clan Gully?
Kanin: Well…we're none of those actually. We're a Freelance Clan; which means that we basically do anything and everything. Fighting a rival clan, protection from bandits, even weeding your backyard; if you pay for it, we do it….and if you pay extra, we do it better.—Kanin teaching Luso about the general info on clans
Ch4
Ensei: Well, I'd say morning practice is over for today. We should probably head down to the pub. I need some booze to get me through the rest of the day.
Luso: Why did I get the alcoholic for a teacher?—Luso's training session with Ensei ends for the day.
Ensei: So how is Kanin's training going?
Cid: Pretty good, actually. She's quite adept at using that staff of hers and she's becoming more proficient at dodging. We're working on her cure spell to, though I'm only doing what I can there. I'm not exactly white mage of the year…or at all.—Ensei and Cid discussing Kanin's progress
Ch5
Ensei: The moment Saishuu Kirihana blossoms...it will all be over for you...
Ensei: Allow me to clarify the rumor you heard...The number of mages I defeated was not twenty...But one hundred and twenty
Worgen: Don't you look down on me!—Ensei defeating Worgen
Ensei: Well if it isn't old Sasasha. It's been a while, hasn't it? And what's this thing about a debtor.
Chief of Targ Wood Police: While I'd hate to interrupt, we have more pressing matters to attend to. Such as, what's going on here.
Sasasha: Trust me, Ensei. Never seeing you again is too soon. And when are you going to return that Chocobo I lent to you?
Ensei: Well, you see...—Chief of Targ Wood Police joins the investigation
Ch6
People, animals
My sympathy spreads in both directions—Cheney
Cid: Sasasha? What are you doing here?
Sasasha: Well this decrepit old woman can still kick you... "Both of the Hume soldiers placed a single hand over the mouth of the rabbit eared female before she was able to finish her sentence"
Sasasha: I'd like to know that myself. One minute I'm informing the police of some ruckus, and the next I'm caught up in some dastardly poaching operation investigation. There's no rest for the weary, is their commander?
Ensei: Don't you mean the nagging and decrepit...—Sasasha helps with the current quest
Ensei: Let's just focus on the mission, Luso. You stay sharp as well, Kanin.
Ensei: Well of course I am. Since this is outside the limit of the mission request, Cheney's going to have to pay me even more money.
Luso: Wow, you're unusually serious about this, Ensei.—Ensei showing a certain character trait, causing everyone else to sweatdrop
Ch7
My feelings towards you,
None of them can reach you
All conveyed in this song
Even though I know—Narration
Sasasha: Well, I'm not sure on everything that happened, but you fell unconscious sometime last night. You should have seen the way that boy was holding you last night; just like me and my husband on our wedding day. "Kanin blushes". Why are you so red, Kanin? Don't tell me that was your first affectionate contact with a boy. Ensei and his over-protective ways.—It is revealed Kanin has a crush on Luso
Luso: Alright, I've cleaned up everything. Is Kanin awake yet?
Luso: Hmm...Well...she's kind of shy, and somewhat of a klutz sometimes...But…she's got heart, and she genuinely cares for her clan mates; I respect that most of all about her. I guess you could say that she's someone I personally admire.
Sasasha: Not yet. But she should be up any minute now. Do you mind if I ask you a question, Luso?
Luso: Sure, shoot.
Sasasha: What do you think about Kanin?
Kanin: I can't believe she asked him that!—Luso's opinion of Kanin
Ch8
Vaan: That's Baron Popple's place, right? That's where the jewel is?
Penelo: That's exactly what I'm worried about...
Penelo: It sure is. Try not to do anything too rash tomorrow night, okay?
Vaan: Must you be so worried, Penelo? It's me we're talking about after all. The leading man never dies.—Vaan's and Penelo's introduction
Ensei: Be proud of who you are, little one...there'll be a day when they don't look down on you anymore...and until then, keep standing tall...—Ensei cheering Kanin up
Ch9
Cid: The request is an escort mission to the town of St. Galleria, located in the Galleria Deep. The client seeks protection only up until we reach the city, where he will be dropped off to another escort and reach his destination.
Luso: "Yes, and mostly in unhealthy amounts."
Cheney: Sounds pretty easy if you ask me.
Ensei: More like boring...and just when I had been craving some action...
Cid: What can we do? We're pretty short in the funds department right now and we need some higher paying jobs. But I wouldn't count this one out just yet Ensei; you know how we always seem to attract danger.—Clan Gully gets a new mission
Luso: Thanks, old man. "Luso turns to leave".
Gofannon: Men like him only come once in a generation. Make sure you hold on to that one, girl.
Kanin: Thank you, sir.—Gofannon telling Kanin that she should hold on to Luso.
Ch10
Cid: What's wrong with you?
Cheney: I can't believe he eats those...—When referring to the fact that Ribs eats the stalks they got from monster tomato thingies.
Hurdy: Haven't I seen you before?
Adelle: What have I told you? When around people, we're co-workers...
Sir Loin: Aye, that ya have, furry one...Tis' Sir Loin yer talkin' to, and this be my lovely daughter I was talkin' about, Adelle.—Sir Loin introducing Adelle to Hurdy
Luso: And speaking of money, you need to return all that money you stole yesterday.
Announcement: Attention, travelers. The caravan is departing in just five minutes! Please finish your preparations.
Kanin: I have no idea what you're talking about. I haven't stolen anything...for six days straight...a new personal best if I do say so myself.
Luso: Six days straight my...—Luso asks Adelle to return the gil she stole
Ch11
Ah, how we dream
Devoid of those iron bars
That we are flying through that blue sky—Narration
Narration: "Splash!"
Kanin and Maria: Maybe we shouldn't have done that...
Sir Loin: Whew, I tell ya. Very nice, ladies!—Kanin and Maria push Adelle into the water so she can enjoy with them
Ch12
Sir Loin: Well that's no fun...leavin' us behind like that 'n all. I was hankerin' for a lil' action as well.
Sir Loin: Aye, lad. These lil' naps of hers usually last even longer than this. There's a reason she's called "Adelle the Cat".
Adelle: "Yawn".
Luso: What...she's still sleeping, even after all of that?—Sir Loin commenting on Adelle's sleeping habits
Narration: Suddenly, a powerful shiver ran up and down the spines of both Cid and Ensei.
Cheney: Well, it was probably just your imagination. I mean, what are the chances?
Cheney: I don't think it's getting that chilly out here.
Ensei: I'm not cold. I just got the feeling that something terrible happened...like...like...
Cid: ...like I just lost a major investment?
Ensei: Yeah, that's the feeling.—Cid and Ensei felt the destruction of Clan Gully's wagon
Ch13
A duty that surpasses the heart
and bringsforth the night
A burden that eclipses the sun—Narrattion
Sir Loin: Alright, you can go. Just try not to blow the forest up, dear. "Snigger"
Cid: You do realize that you're paying for that wagon, don't you?
Beat—Minor case of Reality Ensues
Ch14
Oh, how we fear
That which we cannot comprehend—Narration
Ch15
Separated by this vast ocean
And all it took to reach you was a single drop
Spread across this never ending night—Narration
Ch16
Why do I feel like
Will never rise again
That setting sun in the faraway horizon—Maria
Ensei: I feel that such an occasion as this calls for a party. A dinner at the pub tonight to celebrate a job well done. And of course...Andie's paying!
Cheney: You have no idea what you've just gotten your clan into...
Andie: What! Why me?
Sir Loin: Just think of it as a way to pay us back for trying to capture our Moogle friend here.
Kirsa: Not so fast! That twerp over there sawed Claire's precious Claymore in half. We don't owe you a thing.
Cid: Fine, then how about this...If we can eat more than the shop value of that Claymore, then you pick up the bill and we don't have to pay a gil.
Kirsa: Deal! Bring it on!—Clan Falzen got suckered by Cid and Ensei
Ch17
Don't be afraid of deception
Because the world is already full of it—Ensei
Ch18
The ties that bind us
Are the people we cherish the most—Vaticus
Sir Loin: Um...Adelle...you...do realize that we're supposed to be guarding them?...And not wasting time waving to the crowd! Why do I even bother?
Sir Loin: I know that, but... "Adelle began to blow kisses to the crowd" ...I think she could let up a little.
Raven: Relax, Sir Loin. Today is a celebration. It's good to take a break and just enjoy yourself every once in a while.—While guarding Vaticus and Maria during the parade
Ch19
We are all so mislead by this concept of freedom
It is by that same concept;we are chained in this cage
That we do not realize—Sothe
Ch20
I reach out to grab your hand, even though I know you're not there
Even though I know, you've already vanished from my embrace
I feel a little heartbeat, the steady rhythm of your breathing inside me—Micaiah
Luso: But who could help us, Professor Auggie?
Judgemaster Cid: This is Judgemaster Cid Randell requesting entrance into St. Galleria.
Auggie: Why...the strongest man in Jylland, of course.
"Scene change"
Guard: Halt! Who goes there!—The proper introduction of Judgemaster Cid, the strongest man in Jylland
Ch21
Those who think they understand out world, are dead asleep
Protecting those of us that are still dreaming
Those who have found and experienced it's corruption are the ones wide awake—Sir Loin
Ch22
That sun, setting along the far off horizon
Will never awaken from its slumber—Maria
Ch23
Fly free, young sparrow, into the wild blue yonder—Sothe
Ch24
Equality is but a figment of our imagination
Hope is only the deception of our hearts—Ignatius
Ensei: That's not going to work for me. You see...I have an ambition that I need to see through to the end. There's someone in this country that I need to kill before I die, so whatever reason you have...I'm not going to die here for you.—Ensei right before dealing the final blow that defeats Ignatius
Ch25
Hatred, corruption, deceit, greed
This...is the root
These are the branches
Wealth—Johannes
Ch26
Wherein there is distress, there is a story
Lies the soul
Wherein in a story, there is resolve
Wherein there is resolve, there...—Luso
Maria: We...trusted you...
Vaticus: I never asked you to trust me. Same with my subordinates; I told them to follow me. Never to rely on, never to depend on...never to trust...simply...to follow. I understand that it's human nature to trust in something greater than yourself, and using that logic, I can understand why you placed your trust in me. Though...allow me to make one thing clear, Maria Savoy de Pervenche...You cannot depend on anyone. People will always let you down. That is a lesson I learned earlier in life...
Flashback Cut: I trusted you!—Right before learning Vaticus' Backstory
Ch27
Everything'll work out
I'm sure of it...—Sir Loin
Ch28
The surface eases
Shaken
The ripples subside into the murky darkness
Though still I remain—Adelle
Ch29
The light that pierced through the darkness of the sky
Shines ever so brighter in my heart—Maria
Auggie: Indeed. Magicite. Though as to the origin and class of this particular piece, I cannot say. Unfortunately, I doubt I'll have the time to conduct a proper study.
Judgemaster Cid: I am more focused on what Khamja had planned to use it for. That is where Clan Gully comes in. What I am about to tell you is to remain confidential. I want you to find out more information on this stone for me. Use whatever methods you deem necessary... "Ensei's grin stretched from ear to ear." Outside of outright violation of the law, of course.—Judgemaster Cid gives Clan Gully a mission
Ch30
The skin crawls, the bones rattle with the thunder
And bid farewell to the realm of dreams
The spine throbs, the silent voice withers
I slowly release you from my hand—Ensei
Ch31
Step by step, we keep moving forward—Luso
Ch33
Even in the ever encroaching Mist
There is hope—Auggie
Ch34
Luso: Does all medicine have to taste terrible?
Auggie: Yes, my boy. Yes they are.
Auggie: That's how you know it works, my boy. Thank you for taking the time to heal him, Kanin.
Kanin: No trouble at all. Oh, and Luso?
Luso: Ye-?
Narration: He hadn't even the time to finish before the blunt crown of Kanin's Unicorn Staff crashed down onto his brown haired head. He let out a comically horrid scream, clutching his cranium in pain.
Kanin: If you ever die on me again, I'll kill you.
Beat
Luso: Women are scary, Professor Augustus.—After the Mist Channeling procedure is complete
Ch35
Rain is merely the heaven's weeping
The sun is the happiness that dries those tears—Cheney
Ch36
This prison called revenge
Locked by memories of you
Shaped by the rain—Bowen
Ch37
Time stopped moving for us on that day
Trapped in this never ending cycle of retribution—Tweigel
Ch38
One cannot grow dwelling on the past
Only by looking towards the future can he move ahead—Loa
Vili: What happened with his left wing? I thought I petrified it earlier today.
Loa: In laymen's terms, yes.
Loa: You did. Cockatrice and their variants carry in their breath a unique chemical that can cause petrification. Most people aren't aware that their saliva contains a separate chemical that can dissolve petrification.
Luso: So it drooled on itself?—Rematch with Klesta
Ch39
Rain
That connects those of us on earth to those in the sky
Such a miserable, lonesome thing—Cheney
Ch41
We, as humans, hold in our hands
The power to stomp out life
The power to shape our own life
We, as leaders, hold in our fists—Judgemaster Cid Randell
Adelle: JDP? Why did we come here?
Cid: Well, you see...None of you are actually apart of Clan Gully...—Even the apologetic grin that he gave Luso, Cheney, Hurdy, Adelle and Vili wasn't enough to prevent the confused, slightly annoyed silence that followed
Ch42
I cannot feel it, I cannot hear it
Hidden amongst the shadows of my own imagination
I cannot see it, I should not fear it
Yet there it remains, ever looming around me—Cid
Ch43
Kanin: Nice to meet you. I...I can't help but feel that I've heard your names somewhere before, though.
Luso: A few? Even one theft is enough to get you thrown in jail.
Penelo: Something tells me they weren't in a good light.
Adelle: Well I don't know about Rabanastre, but as for Jylland, sky pirates aren't much of a well-received lot. I knew those names sounded familiar. According to the papers and pub gossip, you two have been on quite a heist streak.
Vaan: You steal a few precious jewels and suddenly a whole country won't keep quiet about you. This Jylland, nothing like Dalmasca, for sure.—Kanin and Adelle meet Vaan and Penelo
Luso: Anyway, if you're done shopping I'll take the money back now.
Adelle: You've never been shopping with me, have you?
Beat
Luso: Adelle...what happened to all the gil.
Adelle: Well we went shopping, didn't we?
Luso: Yes, but there was a lot of gil in here. How could you have spent so much of it?—Luso cursed the fact that he held even a margin of admittedly unjustified trust in Adelle.
Ch44
Even your ice cold chains
Can't hold me down—Luso
Ch45
Victory
But for the weak who grew stronger
Is not only for the strong who bested the weak—Baron Beltorey
Ensei: Since when have you had so much faith in Luso?
Hurdy: But Adelle...Didn't you bet against Luso winn—? "Death Glare"
Adelle: Let's...just say I owe him one this time. And besides...what do you mean? I've always had faith in Luso.
Ensei: No. You haven't.
Adelle: Of course I have.—During the Acqua Alta
Luso: I can't believe you beat me again, Vaan.
Vaan: Of course. That's just something we sky pirates do.
Diez: What I don't understand is how both of you broke through that wall of ice.
Vaan: Well, in short, Luso broke through the top of your wall, the thinnest point. Remember when I said that none of us had the means to get past this wall? Well I actually had a means to. The fish I was using, an Ewohl Flying Fish, has the remarkable ability to leap from the water and glide relatively lengthy distances. I had a way over the wall, I just needed a hole. After you broke through, I waited until you were far enough, and leapt it myself. Then I followed behind you just enough to where you wouldn't notice me, let the four of you battle it out and waste your energy, then claimed the prize at the end.
Luso: So you lied?—Luso has a lot to learn about Sky Pirates
Nero: I apologize, Baron, but I will have to refuse your offer. I have prior commitments.
Baron Beltorey: Oh? "The man sent them a wry smile." The famed Sky Pirates attending my ball? I must be sure to hide all my valuables then. "The two males each gave a laugh, but even Luso noted how subtly serious he was being" . Very well, then. The details are all written. I look forward to seeing all of you.
Baron Beltorey: I see. That's a shame.
Vaan: If you would be alright with it, we'd be happy to accept that invite on his behalf.—After the race
Luso: By the way, how much did you even bet, Adelle?
Narration: The power of teamwork triumphs!...sort of.
Adelle: About twenty five hundred gil. And you just gave away half of five thousand away.
Luso: ...you mean we're right back where we started.
Adelle: Basically.—Also after the race
Ch46
The only thing we have to fear
Is the lack of it—Cid
Ch47
Loneliness
Is a terrible thing to shoulder—Ensei
Adelle: Well I'm off to chat up rich, handsome bachelors.
Luso, Kanin, Cheney, and Hurdy: You're no better than she is...
Ensei: She never changes, does she? If you need me, I'll be over by the buffet stealing tomorrow's dinner.—At Baron Beltorey's party
Ch48
Deception
Shrouded in the veil of the night
Deeper than the earth's core
More abundant than the stars—Baron Beltorey
Penelo: A pleasure to meet you, Lady Zoldycke.
Illua: If you're looking to purchase, I'd be glad to have you visit one of my establishments sometime. Bear in mind that company policy only accepts full down payments from Sky Pirates.
Vaan: A pleasure indeed. I imagine the head of a shipwright company like yourself should have a few...more affordable airships in your hangars.—The sky pirates meet Illua
Ch49
Shall we dance to the death—Penelo
Ch50
Gun-toting, sword-swinging
That's the way we live
Treasure stealing, freedom chasing—Vaan
Ch51
That divide
Lies our salvation and destruction
On the faraway other end—Adelle
Ch52
There is no turning back
From this pitch black path I tread—Crow
Ch53
The king gallops, the hunter draws
The king's prideful howl resounds, the arrow blasts forth
The king smashes the bones underneath, the hunter aims clearly—Cheney
Ch54
Only if from your lips
I would lay down my life at a single word—Al Cid Margrace
Ch55
Together, we destroy each other
Aimlessly, longing for sanctuary
Ravaging like beasts, searing flesh
Apart, we wander—Crow
Ch56
Trust
That this world was built on deception
A word for those who do not understand—Barley
Ch57
Like the crimson sunset
Live like you're on fire—Sir Loin
Ch58
Humans are such insignificant creatures, no?—Ewen
Ch59
Let's enjoy this happiness
You and I, just for today—Kanin
Baron Beltorey: Liar. You're really going to leave just like that? Not even a goodbye? To any of them?
Baron Beltorey: But even scum can transcend and redeem itself, if given only a chance.
Crow: I don't belong with those people. Not after everything I've taken part in. Criminal scum like me know their place at least.—Part of the aftermath of the attack on Khamja's base
Baron Beltorey: Whichever path you decided on, Crow, make sure to help Clan Gully in any possible way you can. Things will only become more difficult from here on out.
Baron Beltorey: More than that. Clan Gully just rescued the Baron of Grazton, one of the three most influential people in the entirety of the Loar Republic. This incident is going to spread like wildfire, and whether for better or worse, this small eight-person clan is now officially on the map.
Crow: Why do you say that? Khamja?—Clan Gully becomes Famed in Story
Ch60
Sun, Moon
It's always a good time for killing
No matter which one's up—Kain
Kain: Alright, I'll withdraw for now. So I guess you're cutting ties with us here, Francesca?
Kain: "Kain laughs"Yeah. Yeah, that's good. That's really good. I've been looking forward to a war like this for years. You better bring it to us, you hear? Don't you back out. You better show me a good time. I'll be waiting for it. Oh, and our leader has a message for you as well. Your days are numbered, Francesca.
Francesca: Jytras Mercantile will no longer associate with you. Too long have I assisted your warmongering organization, biding my time for the opportune moment to strike back. As you crawl back to your leader, tell her this. We of Duelhorn now officially declare war on Khamja.
Beat—Duelhorn declares war on Khamja
Ch61
There is no distance great enough on this earth
To separate our souls—Kanin
Crow: Wait! I...I...At least...at least say goodbye...please.
Luso: Welcome to Clan Gully.
Luso: Why would we say that to you? You're coming with us.
Crow: Wha...What are you talking about? I can't go with...
Adelle: See. I told you he would resist. Ignore us while we kidnap your guest.
Baron Beltorey: Feel free. I've had enough of this freeloader anyway. Maybe you can teach him something.
Ensei: Since you're a new member, I'll lay down the law for you. Our rates at Clan Gully are pretty high. You have to participate in missions and contribute to the clan funds, but you can keep most of what you make.
Hurdy: You're required to tell stories around the campfire, kupo.
Cheney: The good ones, though. Don't hold out on us. And now you can start all of our fires too.
Ensei: And your most important duty. You're required to love every single one of your clansmen, for better or worse, and die for their sake if need be. Even if it costs you everything. Even your goal.
Luso and Adelle: Think you can handle that?
Crow: Absolutely.—Crow joins Clan Gully
Ch62
Interconnected, we are
Yet our heart does linger elsewhere
So close, within a hair's breadth—Micaiah
Ch63
The quality of mercy should be far from strained—Luso
Chita: Not bad, kid.
Camoa native: If you try for the Camoa Cup, I'll be eager to watch you. Show them what a real clan is like.
Cheney: Not bad! What part of that was good? They completely trounced us in there, and neither of you did a single thing. As far as I'm concerned, we lost.
Camoa native: No, you didn't. Don't you believe them.
Cheney: Believe who?
Camoa native: That Nu Mou and his gang of ruffians. I was just in that pub. Don't you two dare believe a word of the hogwash they were spouting. Good will isn't dead, and it shouldn't be thrown away to chase after a handful of coin. You two are in a clan, aren't you?
Luso: Yes, sir. We are.—A native of Camoa encourages Luso and Cheney after a confrontation with Acidwire
Luso: I don't get it. Why do you guys always go along with my selfishness?
Luso: Alright I get it.
Kanin: We haven't figured that out yet.
Crow: You just have that effect, I guess.
Hurdy: Well someone has to do it, kupo.
Vili: Force of habit, perhaps?
Adelle: Maybe we're gluttons for punishment?
Cheney: Or we're still waiting on that better from 'for better or worse'.—Everybody joking about Luso's Chronic Hero Syndrome
Ch64
The soul forged by fire
Burns the brightest—Francis
Gofannon: Good to see you, Sasasha. Sorry for having you bring her up here. Hopefully she wasn't too much to handle.
Gofannon: Charming as ever, I see.
Sasasha: None at all, Gofannon. Certainly more mannered and composed than you've ever been.—Anna and Sasasha meet up with Anna's dad again
Ensei: Oh. Hey guys. "Ensei gets doused in water". Now was that really necessary?
Cheney: I have no words for this.
Most of Clan Gully as of the relevant moment: Where have you been!
Ensei: Oh you know. Just enjoying the land festival. Here you go, Kanin. I figured you'd like this.
Beat
Cheney: Wait….so you're…you're telling me that the entire time we've been fighting for our lives in that arena…you've been parading around in this fair?
Ensei: Actually….yeah that sounds about right.
Beat—Ensei was fooling around while his clan was doing work
Ch65
Your reach doesn't end at the tips of your fingers—Ensei
Cid: That's not what I meant! You...I thought you promised to keep them safe. What is this, Ensei?
Cid: No, it's alright. Nothing will change their minds anyway. I approve. Go. Go and turn that Palace Tourney inside out. Fly so high that nobody can touch us, and I can finally live at ease.
Ensei: We're going to save St. Galleria. Those were Luso's words. And soon they were Cheney's, and Kanin's, and Hurdy's, and Adelle's, and Vili's, and Crow's. I don't have the right to stop them. I don't want to. If you had seen the Camoa Cup, Cid. They're not just talk. It won't be easy, but we can do it. We will do it.
Baron Beltorey: We'll...just pick this up later, Ensei. Now isn't the right time to——Cid learns and talks with Ensei about Clan Gully taking part in the Camoa Cup over Whisperweed.
Ch67
The past cannot so easily be erased—Kanin
