OLDERION FEDERATION - IMPATIENCE AND ANXIETY - WIDOW'S CAPE OPENING
Mercedes: Well, I've bandaged it for now, at least. You don't want people to see that arm and start asking questions.
Rain: Thanks. You've been a big help.
Mercedes: Don't mention it. I'll help you out anytime you need it. I'm done with the, uh, piracy and all that.
Rain: You don't say. I'll bet you could do well for yourself, ferrying people around. Return trips, I mean; not marooning them.
(Rain descends the stairs of the ship. Elle is standing off to the side.)
Rain: Come on, Elle. We should be going.
Elle: Yeah...
(Elle walks over to where Rain is. Rain gets a quizzical look on his face, then walks over a bit and picks something up from the ground.)
Rain: What's that, an amulet?
Elle: Arsha gave it to me. Even though I told her I'd be fine. I suppose she just doesn't have much faith in me.
Rain: If you must brood, why not do it over a problem instead of a blessing? I can't imagine sulking about having a beautiful fiancee who worries about me.
(Rain begins to walk off. Elle follows him, and Rain stops and turns back to look at Elle as Elle speaks).
Elle: Rain... Do you think I've really been any help, in the end?
Rain: What's eating you, Elle? Asking something like that out of the blue...
Elle: Be honest. Please.
Rain(...): How things turn out in the end is not what matters. What matters is doing everything you can, for as long as you can. If you do that, then... well, yoiu did all you could.
Elle: Everything I can... for as long as I can...
Rain: Oh, and besides all that... You've got good instincts in battle, Elle. So long as you keep training, you'll become a great warrior someday. Take my word for it.
(Rain gives a thumbs-up.)
Rain: The word of a Grandshelt knight.
Elle: Ha ha ha! Thank you. Rain.

OLDERION FEDERATION - IMPATIENCE AND ANXIETY - WIDOW'S CAPE 1
Elle: You're no match for my brother and Luka! You know this!
Elle: Even if that were to happen, there's no need to worry. Everyone has their part.
Elle: A part, eh...
(Wave 1 of battle commences, and leads to wave 2.)
Rain: Even for Lasswell and myself, there are things we are good at, and others we aren't.
Elle: Supplementing each other is what friends are for.
Rain: There are surely things that even Nichol and Luka are incapable of. You just need to do what you can, Elle.
(Wave 2 of battle commences, and leads to a boss battle against 5 grenades. After defeating them...)
Elle: ....Lasswell, how exactly do you see Rain?
Lasswell: Huh? How do I see him? What are you getting at?
Elle: It's just that, there's a lot to think about when in the presence of such an amazing person.
Lasswell: If that's how it's gonna be, the answer's simple. Rain truly is incredible. However, only I am capable of protecting him.
Elle: I see. So I guess that's all in your hands.
