Desy Laroche/Dialogue

The following is a transcript of Desy Laroche's dialogue.

Initial Meeting
"So, you’re here to join the Academy too, eh? Just got done signing up, myself. The name’s Desy. And that guy over there is Artois. He’s a bit of a softy, nearly got himself killed fighting a single Pistol Shrimp by the lake after all, but I feel like he’s got potential. With a heart like his, a little more discipline and strength might almost make a hero outta him. [Player]: Where are you from?  Born and raised in a war camp near Karaburan. I spent my childhood sharpening swords, making traps and gathering medicine for the warriors, and my youth learning to face the Scourge in combat.  Our camps and traps and patrols are what keep so many Scourge confined to the Gates of Catharsis. While Elatt takes much of the credit, and I will admit he’s a big help, it’s our blood and sacrifice that keeps the worst of the hordes at bay.  [Player]: I take it you have a plan in mind for your time here? I’ll side with any branch that’ll help me get the connections I need. I’m not here so much to learn things, but rather to meet the people I’ll need to know to make sure my war camp is well-supplied and the most prepared to face the Scourge. I’ve got my eyes on the Military branch, but if I turn out to be a natural at Alchemy, or Engineering, or Magic, I’ll pick whatever works for me. Like I said, I’m not here to play student. I’ve got a lot of people back home who are counting on me. [Player]: Well, good luck! Likewise. Look after yourself out there. The only one you can trust to keep you safe is yourself and your sword arm!"
