Walk This Way

Depending on your progress in the story, characters you have yet to recruit may appear in these events.

• ???: Perhaps it is unwise to proceed without knowing the lay of the land...
  

(The rest of the party arrives)

• King: Huh? That guy looks like Alisaie...
• Cloud: I doubt it's a coincidence.
  

(Alphinaud approaches the party)

• ???: Excuse me. I overheard you say the name "Alisaie"...
• ???: Do you know her, perhaps?
• Lenna: Yes, we do. Are you her brother?
• Alphinaud: My apologies. My name is Alphinaud, and I am indeed Alisaie's brother. Is she around here?
• King: Yeah. She's been traveling with us ever since we met.
• Lenna: Alisaie went with Y'shtola and the others to scout out the area. Shall we take you to her?
• Alphinaud: I would appreciate it.
• Alphinaud: ...So even Y'shtola is here? What is going on?

(Cloud approaches Y'shtola and Alisaie)

• Y'shtola: What seems to be the matter?
• Cloud: We found one of yours.
  

(The party arrives with Alphinaud)

• Alphinaud: Alisaie! Y'shtola! Are you two alright?
• Y'shtola: Master Alphinaud!
• Y'shtola: What a relief... We have yet to gather all the Scions, but I had hope they would be fine.
• Alphinaud: A-are you alright, Y'shtola?
• King: What do you mean? She looks the same as always.
• Alphinaud: B-but she just called me "master," didn't she...?
• Alisaie: Come with me, Alphinaud.
• Alphinaud: What is the meaning of this, Alisaie? Is this some sort of joke?
• Alisaie: I understand your confusion. Let me explain what's going on.
• Alphinaud: Very well...
• Alisaie: Could you give us a moment?
• Lenna: Of course. I'm sure you've got a lot to talk about after being reunited.
• Cloud: Don't mind us.
• Alisaie: Thank you.
  

(Everyone leaves, except the twins)

• Alisaie: You and I are the same.
• Alphinaud: The same...?
• Alisaie: I'll tell you what I know.
• Alphinaud: ...I'm listening.

• Yda: You made it, Master Alphinaud! I'm so happy you're alright!
• Alphinaud: Yda...
• Alphinaud: ...I see. I heard the tale from Alisaie, but couldn't believe it. It seems to be true, though...
• Yda: Master Alphinaud? What's wrong?
• Papalymo: Give him a moment, Yda.
• Papalymo: He's new to this world. He needs time to adjust.
• Papalymo: Welcome, Master Alphinaud. I am glad to see you well.
• Alphinaud: ...Papalymo.
• Alphinaud: I'm happy to see both you and Yda well, too.
• Alphinaud: It's such a relief to see everyone.
• Tidus: ...I thought you'd be happier to see your friends.
• Krile: Yeah. When I met up with my grandpa, I was so excited!
• Alphinaud: ...What!? Do I not look happy?
• Krile: You looked like you wanted to smile, but couldn't. I've seen lots of grown-ups do it before.
• Alphinaud: Grown-ups... I see. I suppose I feel relief at seeing friends, but also uncertainty about the current situation.
• Tidus: Doesn't it make you want to scream real loud?
• Alphinaud: I'm not very good at expressing my emotions like that.
• Tidus: I guess you're more the calmer type.
• Krile: ...Or should we call you "Master Alphinaud" like the others?
• Alphinaud: There's no need for that.
• Alphinaud: I want to become friends with everyone, without my title. I want to stand on the forefront as equals.
• Alphinaud: Is that clear, Yda? Papalymo?
• Papalymo: Understood, Alphinaud. Is that...okay?
• Papalymo: Alisaie wished for the same. Isn't that right, Yda?
• Yda: Yes! And Alphinaud is a precious comrade to us, too.
• Alphinaud: Thank you.
• Tidus: ...You two sure are alike.
• Alphinaud: Alisaie and myself? Of course. We're twins. We were often mistaken for each other as children.
• Krile: Do you also fight with a sword and magic? It doesn't look like you have one, though...
• Alphinaud: We once studied under the same teacher, but...
• Alphinaud: Now we walk different paths, despite the circumstances of our birth.
• Tidus: Does that mean you don't use a sword?
• Alphinaud: Indeed. It's faster if I show you.
  

(Alphinaud turns around and spots a Bomb)

• Alphinaud: Come, Obsidian Carbuncle!
  

(Alphinaud summons an Obsidian Carbuncle)

• Alphinaud: This is how I fight.

• Alphinaud: I see...
• Lion: See what?
• Alphinaud: I just realized how heartening it is to have such comrades.
• Faris: The feeling's mutual. Going it alone out here can be tough.
• Lion: Right. Even if our goals are different, we can still work together.
• Alphinaud: Still, it must be difficult traversing this world with so many people...
• Alphinaud: Do you have an easy way of getting around?
• Sazh: We've got an airship, and a huge one at that.
• Alphinaud: It's a relief knowing there are airships in this world, too.
• Thancred: But there are many places you cannot go with an airship. Those we have to walk to.
  

(Thancred arrives)

• Thancred: I'm happy to see you well, Alphinaud.
• Alphinaud: You as well, Thancred.
• Alphinaud: So you proceed by foot then. That requires quite the endurance, especially for children.
• Lion: Don't worry about them. The children here refuse to be outdone by the adults.
• Faris: They've all got guts, enough to deserve a ride on my own ship.
• Sazh: Do you think you have it in you, Alphinaud?
• Thancred: Alphinaud needn't worry about such things. He takes the rear and—
• Alphinaud: Hold on. The old me may have warranted such worry, but...
• Alphinaud: I possess even more endurance than you can imagine, Thancred.
• Alphinaud: ...A lot has happened.
• Thancred: Hmm...
• Lion: In that case, going on foot shouldn't be a problem.
• Alphinaud: That's a different issue.
• Alphinaud: Walking causes more strain than you can imagine...
• Alphinaud: I've got it. I suggest taking the occasional break to avoid exhaustion.
• Sazh: Well, isn't that thoughtful of you?
• Faris: I'm with Alphinaud.
• Lion: Hehe. You're like an adviser, Alphinaud!
• Alphinaud: ...An adviser?
• Alphinaud: I do not know if my knowledge and experience are worth anything in this world, but consider me at your service.
