Adrian Bouchet: Titus Drautos, General Glauca
Quotes
-
General Glauca : So, the power of the Lucii return. No matter. You are out of time.
Nyx Ulric : For you, I'll make some.
General Glauca : What can you hope to do? One man against an empire. Against the daemons. How will you save Insomnia with no wall to protect you?
Nyx Ulric : You've got it all wrong. I'm not fighting to save Insomnia.
-
Titus Drautos : For hearth and home.
-
Titus Drautos : You disobeyed a direct order to retreat.
Nyx Ulric : For hearth and home, right, sir? As long as I got strength in my body, I obey that order.
Titus Drautos : Don't fool yourself, Nyx Ulric. Whatever strength you have is on loan from the king. You are nothing without him.
-
Titus Drautos : Get in.
Nyx Ulric : I'm reporting to my post now though, sir.
Titus Drautos : New orders. Come on. We've got a Princess to pick up.
Nyx Ulric : Nice ride, sir.
Titus Drautos : It belongs to the prince. We've taken him outside the city.
Nyx Ulric : Doesn't he have a wedding to plan, sir?
Titus Drautos : Cut the "sir" crap. The king has a plan of his own. Prince Noctis and Princess Lunafreya are to meet far from Insomnia.
Nyx Ulric : What's she doing here then?
Titus Drautos : Complicating things. We sent Crowe to find the Princess and escort her out of Tenebrae. We're still trying to figure out what went wrong. So I know what you think about this war, but what do you think about this peace? You happy giving up your home?
Nyx Ulric : It's the king's decision. I owe him for taking me in. I was lucky. There are people in Galahd who weren't. And they need me.
Titus Drautos : So you're going back? What good will you be without the king's magic? Yeah, always wanting to save somebody. I get it. Believe me. But it doesn't win wars.
Nyx Ulric : It's not just wanting. It's not just me. Libertus is the one you need to worry about. He'll go back if things get worse.
Titus Drautos : The worst is yet to come.
-
Titus Drautos : I trust the reunion was a happy one?
Nyx Ulric : Has she been a hostage of Niflheim all this time?
Titus Drautos : She's a symbol of the peace. That's all I'm told.
Nyx Ulric : Doesn't sound like it. Sounds like she's here for something bigger than that.
Titus Drautos : Your orders are to protect her. Not the look, not to listen, not to think. Understood?
-
Titus Drautos : I received word of the king's order to deploy. I'll see to matters in the city. You have your mission, and it won't be easy. The objective is two-fold. Secure the hostage, and stay the enemy advance. Just be careful. One glaive already died for this Princess. Niflheim won't give her up easily.
-
General Glauca : Behold the king of Lucis, who hoarded tranquility within his precious walls. Where is your tranquility now, king? Here is your peace, by steel's swift descent.
-
Titus Drautos : You're to rendezvous and regroup. Understood?
Nyx Ulric : That might not be so easy, captain. My wings have been clipped, in case you didn't know.
Titus Drautos : Ulric. Are you all right?
Nyx Ulric : I'm not dead, if that's what you mean, sir.
Titus Drautos : Head for section D as soon as you can. I'll have an evacuation team ready.
Nyx Ulric : Don't suppose you could meet me at the gate. I'd kind of like to get the hell out of this city.
Titus Drautos : Imperials hold all exits. There's no way trough. I'll meet you at section D. Cut all the radio contact until then. And make sure you get there.
Nyx Ulric : It's a date, sir.
-
General Glauca : It's over. The daemons are unleashed. Lucis is fallen. Surrender the ring.
Nyx Ulric : Plan on giving those kings a piece of your mind, Princess? You got a destiny to take care of here, remember? Besides, didn't anyone tell you? I'm the hero around here.
-
Nyx Ulric : How could you serve the empire? After everything they did!
General Glauca : I do not fault them for taking what was given. I fault the man who gave it. The man who cowered behind his wall and abandoned us to save his throne and his son. Give me the ring, and our homes will be free again. The empire has promised it.
Nyx Ulric : I don't see much of a future on the other side of that promise.
General Glauca : Don't be a fool. Save your friends. Give your dead sister peace. What do you fight for if not that?
-
Nyx Ulric : King Regis did what he did for the future. Because of him, there's still hope for our homes.
Titus Drautos : Hope...
-
Titus Drautos : What of your kings' power now? They've given you a burden you cannot hope to bear. I told you before. Just wanting doesn't win wars. For the honor of my home, I fought and killed under a king I loathed. And still he betrayed me. He betrayed us all.
Nyx Ulric : We fought for the same thing. All of us. But you've looked too long on the past. You're blind to the future.
Titus Drautos : Predictable. Unlike you, I learn from history.
Nyx Ulric : But you're a slave to the past.
Titus Drautos : A man's past is his pride.
Nyx Ulric : No. My pride is shaping the future. Looks like I'm gonna owe him big.
