Dialogue
  1. Aimee

    Oh, you have no idea how happy you've made me! Do you have any idea how long I've been waiting for this?

  2. Shinon

    Hey, I'm a busy guy. But I'm glad to hear it, I guess.

  3. Aimee

    Don't be so cold! You could do this for me anytime, if you want. You know I'll pay good money.

  4. Shinon

    No thanks. It's more trouble than it's worth.

  5. Aimee

    I'll make it worth your time. How about it, baby? You could leave your mercenary lifestyle behind, and...

  6. Ike

    Uh... What the heck are you talking about?

  7. Aimee

    Ike! My hero! Are you here to see me?

  8. Shinon

    Hmph. I'm outta here.

  9. Aimee

    Hey, wait! What about what I owe you?

  10. Shinon

    Give it to him!

    And don't tell him anything that he doesn't need to know!

  11. Aimee

    ...And now he's gone. What a selfish man.

  12. Ike

    Care to tell me what's going on?

  13. Aimee

    Ike, no! Are you feeling jealous?

    Don't you worry, darling. There's only room for you in my heart. Really!

  14. Ike

    You're scaring me, Aimee.

  15. Aimee

    Oh, come on. It's just a joke!

    Business only, I promise. First, this is for you.

  16. Ike

    A blue gem?

  17. Aimee

    You heard what the man said. I'm supposed to pay you instead.

  18. Ike

    You're paying us? I'm very confused. I'd assumed that Shinon owed you money, or something.

  19. Aimee

    No, no. Nothing like that. This is what I owe him for-- Oops, he told me not to say.

  20. Ike

    Aimee? I'm getting scared again.

  21. Aimee

    All right, fine. It's a payment for a bow.

  22. Ike

    A bow?

  23. Aimee

    I paid a lot for a bow he made me. I'm going to offer it as a one-of-a-kind item at the shop.

  24. Ike

    Right... Is that why Rolf is making bows now? He mentioned something about bows being good income in emergencies.

  25. Aimee

    Probably.

    Rolf is learning from a good teacher, but he's still no match for the master himself.

  26. Ike

    Rolf is Shinon's student?

  27. Aimee

    Oh, dang. You think that was a secret, too?

  28. Ike

    How should I know? Shinon wouldn't tell me that he smelled smoke if I was on fire.

  29. Aimee

    Well... I don't think Shinon likes people. Especially you, for some reason.

    I wonder why he came back to you after he left the Greil Mercenaries during the war?

  30. Ike

    Shinon likes our little group. I know that much.

    This is probably his way of trying to help us be less broke.

  31. Aimee

    You think so? Why wouldn't he just come out and say so? He's so strange like that.

  32. Ike

    I'll keep this conversation a secret.

    I don't want to risk losing Shinon by putting him on the defensive about all this.

  33. Aimee

    Right. It's a secret between you and me, Ike!
