Anataeus (Shabby): Concordia, can I ask an odd question?
Concordia (Shabby): If you must.
Anataeus (Shabby): Are you still driven by this idea of revenge?
Concordia (Shabby): Yes, certainly. When I recall what happened I feel anger as raw as the day it happened.
Concordia (Shabby): House Colvan ruined us and killed so many... for what purpose?
Concordia (Shabby): I owe it to the memory of those lost to see some manner of requital done.
Anataeus (Shabby): I see.
Concordia (Shabby): But Anataeus, what prompted you to continue down this path with me?
Anataeus (Shabby): I don’t know. I haven’t thought about it too much…
Concordia (Shabby): We’ve come quite a long way for you to remain so unaware.
Anataeus (Shabby): I suppose it’s a matter of— a matter of who I am.
Anataeus (Shabby): Were it not for our goal, what reason would I have to exist?
Anataeus (Shabby): I must practice alchemy. It’s my purpose.

Anataeus (Shabby): There. Does this look suspicious to you?
Concordia (Shabby): Now that you’ve asked, I can’t help but see it in the light of suspicion.
Anataeus (Shabby): But if you saw it on its own without my having asked, would you think it suspicious?
Concordia (Shabby): Perhaps I wouldn’t. It’s difficult to say without seeing it in place.
Anataeus (Shabby): We’ll have to trust that Nils knows how to place a charge unobtrusively.
Concordia (Shabby): I have a feeling he’s seen his share of this type of work before...
Anataeus (Shabby): And you’re sure he knows where to place them?
Concordia (Shabby): Clara’s seen to that. She somehow obtained a map of all of House Colvan’s properties... including their guardposts and armories.
Anataeus (Shabby): Ah, of course she has.
Concordia (Shabby): I’ll enjoy watching the neighboring Houses rush in to claim Colvan’s properties as their own.
Concordia (Shabby): It’s a fitting retribution.
