Dialogue
Optional
Cassana: Oh, Tesleen... You thought only of others...and this was your reward.
Willfort: We all have our own ways of overcoming grief. Mine is to concentrate on performing my duties as best I can.
Accepting the Quest (Cutscene)
< What will you say? > < Alisaie... > < I've spoken with the carers. >
(Both) Alisaie: ...Thank you. What you're doing, it...it means a lot to them. To me.
Willfort: ...Sorry to interrupt. We, uh... We realized we hadn't thanked you for rescuing Halric. Willfort: ...You weren't hurt at all, were you?
Alisaie: Hurt...? There wasn't even a fight. I was too late. Too slow. And I thought I could protect you...
Cassana: You can't blame yourself for things beyond your control. You brought Halric back safe and sound─no one could have done any more.
Alisaie: I'm sorry, but I've come to a decision: I won't be continuing in my role here. Alisaie: I hope you will forgive me for leaving you...and that you will delay Halric's last meal for as long as you possibly can. Alisaie: Not until it's too late, of course, just...give him what time you can.
Willfort: We always do.
Alisaie: Of course. She would have done the same. Alisaie: Farewell, Halric. Keep Tesleen's words close to your heart.
Cassana: Wait! You're leaving this very moment? I understand how you must feel, but surely this is a bit hasty? Do you even have anywhere to go?
Alisaie: I have a destination in mind, yes. And a purpose. Alisaie: This damned Light, building without cease... It's the reason we can't save those corrupted by the eaters. Alisaie: But what if we corrected the balance? Even if it were only little by little─even if it took years─it would surely make things better.
Willfort: Now, hold on there. Everyone knows there's too much Light, but how could you ever hope to get rid of it? You'd have to change the whole world!
Alisaie: That's right... Alisaie: We should return to the Crystarium. I may not be able to repel the eaters on my own...but I can still use the skills I have gained here to hurt them.
Optional
Cassana: It's all very well talking about curing the eater affliction...but false hope can be a dangerous thing.
Wrenric: I've got to stay sharp, keep my wits about me. I miss Tesleen as much as anyone, but I can't let my thoughts stray from the task at hand.
Halric: ......
Todden: Ahhh...
Pawnil: Ahhh... Tes... Tesleen...
Willfort: Poor Alisaie... She was so close to Tesleen... I only hope she doesn't do something foolish.
Lamon: Tesleen may be gone, but her share of the work still needs to be done. I'm sure she wouldn't want us to let standards slip.
Voyne: I'm fine... I can still─ I'm fine...
Cassard: [Forename]! Good to see you again! You look like you've a story or two to tell... But I sense you'd sooner get back to the Crystarium.
Speaking with Alisaie at the Red Serai
Alisaie: Forgive me, [Forename]─I couldn't stay there a moment longer. Alisaie: But I was serious about what I said. While the men and women at the Inn battle against this blight with kindness, I must fight it in my own way. With steel.
(If completed Coils of Bahamut) < What will you say? > < From Eorzea's sword in the darkness...to Novrandt's sword in the light? > < ... >
< From Eorzea's sword in the darkness...to Novrandt's sword in the light? > Alisaie: Gods above. It feels like an age ago now...
(< ... >, if did not complete Coils of Bahamut, and continuing after Eorzea's sword of darkness response) Cassard: Miss Alisaie!? ...Is there anything I can get you?
Alisaie: Your swiftest amaro! I need to return to the Crystarium─immediately!
Cassard: A-As you wish!
(Optional) Cassard: Ah, it's good to be back. Mord Souq has many charms, but there's nothing like a proper bed to recover from a long journey...as I'm sure you'd agree.
Speaking with Alisaie
Alisaie: Ugh, remind me to wear goggles if we ever fly over Amh Araeng again. I've barely gotten the sand out of my eyes. Alisaie: ...But the wind did help to clear my head at least. Alisaie: I think I'm ready to meet with the Exarch. We need to talk about how we're going to wipe the sin eaters out. Shall we?
Optional
Crystal Exarch: I see you were reunited with Alisaie, but I daresay you found little else to celebrate in Amh Araeng...
(If the In Search of Alphinaud questline has been completed) Alphinaud: Welcome back, [Forename]. You will have to share the tale of your journey once the two of you are suitably rested.
Speaking with Alisaie in the Ocular
(If the In Search of Alphinaud questline has not been completed)
Alisaie: Thank you for seeking me out, [Forename]─it meant a lot to have you there at my side. ...I was tempted to set off again the moment we had decided upon a direction, but you have still to visit Alphinaud, haven't you? Alisaie: And if I know my brother, he'll be on the cusp of discovering something vital to our success─if he hasn't already. I'm content to stay here and consider our options for the time being─but don't keep me waiting too long, eh?
(If the In Search of Alphinaud questline has already been completed)
Alisaie: Thank you for seeking me out, [Forename]─it meant a lot to have you there at my side. And looking at Alphinaud, I'd say he's as eager to begin this discussion as I am. Alisaie: I say we lay our experiences before the Exarch, and step back to see what kind of picture they make. Then we can decide where to go from here.
