Naesala to the rescue! Izuka: Blast! They're getting riled up again... Listen, you! You stay right here and stand guard. Don't let that heron girl take one step outside this room! Do you understand me? Wheee! I told you we needed guards! "Daein Soldier": ...Sigh... Don't worry. I'll take care of everything. Izuka: Bah! Always when I'm in the middle of something... Snaggle-toothed, cheese-stealing... "Daein Soldier": Finally! Methinks that guy fell a little far from the nest...Hello, little heron girl. There's nothing to be afraid of. I won't hurt you. Just sit there and be quiet, all right? Leanne: (Where is..this place? Who are you.....?)
Escape from the tower "Daein Soldier": ...Whew. I thought as much when I first snuck in here, but this really is an unbelievable place. What in Ashera's name is going on? Why are all these crazed laguz creeping about? Leanne: (I hate this!) "Daein Soldier": Hm? Oh, you don't like this, eh? Neither do I. This helmet and armor are horribly restrictive, you know? Naesala: How's that, Leanne? It's been twenty years, but I'm still quite an eyeful. Don't you agree? Leanne: (You're very handsome, Naesala.) Naesala: Yeah, I haven't changed much, eh? And you knew it was me back there right away, didn't you? Ah, I'm glad you survived. It's very good to see you again. Leanne: (Yes..I am also pleased.) Naesala: Now, on to the problem at hand. We went to the trouble of escaping that tower, so I'd hate to end up a meal for one of our insane cousins. Our objective is to rendezvous with Nealuchi. Here we go, Leanne. Hold on tight. Leanne: (Yes I will!)
Rendezvous! Naesala: What's going on? They're all looking the same direction. Leanne: (Naesala! Over there!) Naesala: Tibarn and friends, eh? Oh, very good. This will work out nicely... Nealuchi: Ne-nestling!! We've found you at last! Naesala: Nealuchi! You're here sooner than expected. You pushed your old wings to the limit, didn't you? Nealuchi: I couldn't be late to the rescue of the dear lady Leanne, now could I? Leanne: (Nealuchi! You came for me, too?) Nealuchi: Oh! What a glorious sight...You look so much like your dear, departed mother...Sniff... Leanne: (Don't cry, Nealuchi!) Naesala: Hey, save your tears for later. While Tibarn and the others take care of the enemy, we must escape. Nealuchi: Y-yes, of course! This way!
Explanations Ranulf: Ike! Any sign of her? Ike: No, I don't see her anywhere. Reyson: Leanne... Where have you gone? Naesala: Hello, everyone. Are you having some sort of problem? Reyson: Naesala! Ike: Oh. King Kilvas. How nice. Naesala: I believe I have what you seek right here. Leanne: (Brother! Oh, my brother!) Reyson: Leanne! You're safe! Leanne: (Brother! Brother!) Ike: ...You? You rescued her? Naesala: Listen, and listen good. I don't want there to be any misunderstandings here. It was Tibarn! He forced me to do this. It wasn't any sense of charity or anything. It was a sort of...payment for the debt I had incurred. Tibarn: I knew choosing you would pay off. Excellently done. Naesala: Flatter me all you like, hawk king. You'll get nothing in return. As promised, the Duke Tanas account has been completely settled. Tibarn: Yes, as agreed. Naesala: Well then, I take my leave of you. Tibarn: There's no need to rush off. Is there? Since you've come all this way, why not stay and help us with King Daein? Ike: What a splendid idea. Naesala: What? Enough of your nonsense. I prefer to keep my life intact, thank you. Leanne: (Naesala, are you leaving?) Naesala: Listen to me, Leanne. I have no good reason to fight the king of Daein. Reyson: No good reason? And what about your fellow Kilvans? King Daein has taken their natural identity and warped it beyond repair! Naesala: They left Kilvas of their own accord. How far should my responsibility for them extend? Reyson: You...
