Dorothea's Expedition Answers Guide

Question / Prompt Best Response
Prompt: You are a completely different creature from me, and I never tire of observing you. Laugh and say you feel the same way.
Prompt: Do you have a dream besides continuing on as a mercenary? I mean, how do you imagine your life after the war? Say you do have dreams.
Prompt: Would you cry if something happened to me? I mean, not that anything will, but... I'm curious. Declare that you wouldn't let her die.
Prompt: You don't seem very concerned with pride. Are all mercenaries like that? Shrug your shoulders.
Prompt: They can't possibly get mad at us for taking a little break every now and again. Suggest it be your little secret.
Prompt: I sometimes wonder if orphans like me would be better off if the Southern Church had been restored sooner. Say you don't know.
Prompt: I hear the opera company is doing what they can to lift people's spirits in these dark times. Say you want to help somehow.
Question: Ask about any personal news.

Prompt: My mother died when I was little. But now I have the opera company, and they’ve become my family.

Smile and nod.
Question: Ask about their worries.
Prompt: I have a great number of troubles, sadly. For example, fighting on the front lines means I can only pack so many outfits.
Laugh.

Prompt: Wouldn’t you like to know. Sorry, not telling!
Speculate.
