Just Deserts

Staelwyrn

I've come to expect a great deal from you, lass/lad, and you've never once let me down.

• FR Tu m'as l'air de t'habituer à nos vergers, malgré tous les problèmes qui peuvent s'y produire. ‘You look like you're getting used to our orchards, despite all the problems that can come up there.’ English praises the hero for never letting him down; French says the hero seems to be settling into the orchards.
• DE Wie gefallen dir die Sommerfurt-Höfe so weit? ‘How do you like Summerford Farms so far?’ English praises the hero for never letting him down; German asks how the hero likes the farms.
• JA 引き続き、鍛錬を積んでいるようじゃねえか。 ‘Looks like you're still keeping up your training, eh.’ English praises the hero for never letting him down; Japanese remarks the hero keeps training.

Yet what I'd ask of you now goes beyond aught I've asked before. Would you hear my plea all the same?

• FR Il vient juste de se passer quelque chose d'assez ennuyeux et tes services seraient les bienvenus. ‘Something rather troublesome has just happened and your services would be welcome.’ English says this request goes beyond any before; French says something troublesome just happened.
• DE Nicht alles läuft so glatt, wie es den Anschein hat. ‘Not everything is running as smoothly as it seems.’ English says this request goes beyond any before; German says things are not as smooth as they seem.
• JA ちと、きな臭いことが起こってな。 ‘Something a bit fishy has come up.’ English says this request goes beyond any before; Japanese says something suspicious has happened.

It eases my mind to have your ear.

You're no doubt familiar with that scoundrel Sevrin by now.

• DE Du erinnerst dich sicher noch lebhaft an den jungen Kerl namens Sevrin, der hier arbeitet. ‘You surely still vividly remember the young fellow named Sevrin who works here.’ English calls Sevrin a scoundrel; German neutrally calls him a young fellow who works there.
• JA ウチで働く連中の中に、セヴリンという若者がおるのは知っているな？ ‘You know there's a young man named Sevrin among the folks working for us, right?’ English calls Sevrin a scoundrel; Japanese neutrally calls him a young man working there.

Well, the schemin' scapegrace is at it again. Since that letter came for him, he's been skulkin' about in that manner he does when he's up to no good.

• FR Son comportement est très étrange dernièrement. ‘His behavior has been very strange lately.’ English says Sevrin is up to his usual schemes again; French says his behavior is strangely unusual lately.
• DE In letzter Zeit hat er sich merkwürdig verhalten. ‘Lately he has been acting strangely.’ English says Sevrin is up to his usual schemes again; German says he has been acting strangely lately.
• DE Darin muss etwas Fürchterliches gestanden haben, denn seitdem sah er sehr beunruhigt aus. ‘Something terrible must have been written in it, for since then he has looked very worried.’ English says Sevrin skulks about as when up to no good; German says he has looked very worried.
• JA 近頃、そのセヴリンの様子がおかしいんだ。 ‘Lately, that Sevrin has been acting strange.’ English says Sevrin is up to his usual schemes again; Japanese says he has been acting strange lately.
• FR Il tient pas en place depuis qu'une certaine lettre lui est parvenue. ‘He can't keep still since a certain letter reached him.’ French describes Sevrin as restless since the letter, not skulking and scheming.
• JA 一通の手紙が届いてから、急にソワソワし始めてな。 ‘Ever since a letter arrived, he suddenly got all restless.’ Japanese describes Sevrin as suddenly restless, not as scheming again.

Now he's rounded up his rogues and buggered off, with nary a word to anyone.

I've grown accustomed to his insolence, but somethin' tells me this is different. It ain't exactly damnin', but when last I had words with him, he didn't look defiant so much as hunted. I can't help thinkin' he's gone lookin' for trouble and found more than he wanted.

• FR Bien sûr, j'ai l'habitude que lui et sa clique se carapatent pour éviter les corvées, mais ils s'en cachaient pas vraiment. ‘Of course, I'm used to him and his clique scarpering to dodge chores, but they never really hid it.’ English speaks of Sevrin's insolence; French speaks of him and his clique skipping chores.
• FR Et avec cette histoire d'enlèvements de l'autre fois... eh bien, j'ai un mauvais pressentiment. ‘And with that business of kidnappings the other day... well, I have a bad feeling.’ English fears Sevrin found more trouble than he sought; French cites the recent kidnappings as reason for worry.
• DE Er gehört ja ohnehin nicht zu unseren fleißigsten Arbeitern, aber dieses Benehmen gibt mir wirklich zu denken. ‘He's not exactly one of our most hard-working workers anyway, but this behavior really gives me pause.’ English speaks of Sevrin's insolence; German speaks of him being a lazy worker.
• DE Wer weiß, was er im Schilde führt. ‘Who knows what he's up to.’ English worries Sevrin found more trouble than he wanted; German suspects Sevrin is plotting something.
• JA サボり癖はあったが、こんなことは初めてだ。 ‘He always had a habit of slacking off, but this is the first time anything like this has happened.’ English speaks of Sevrin's insolence; Japanese speaks of his habit of slacking off.
• JA 先の「人拐い」の件もある。 ‘There's also that recent "kidnapping" business.’ English fears Sevrin found more trouble than he sought; Japanese cites the recent kidnappings as reason for worry.

So I was hopin' you might hunt his sorry hide down and drag it back here before it's too late.

The ungrateful little cur bites me every chance he gets, but I can't quite bring myself to cut him loose. I s'pose he reminds me a bit of my younger self.

• FR J'aimerais vraiment le remettre dans le droit chemin. ‘I'd really like to put him back on the straight and narrow.’ English says Sevrin reminds him of his younger self; French says he wants to set Sevrin straight.
• DE Wenn er sich doch nur an das Leben auf dem Hof gewöhnen könnte ... ‘If only he could get used to life on the farm...’ English says Sevrin reminds him of his younger self; German wishes Sevrin would get used to farm life.
• JA どうにか改心させて、立派にしてやりたい。 ‘I want to somehow get him to mend his ways and make a proper man of him.’ English says Sevrin reminds him of his younger self; Japanese says he wants to reform Sevrin.
• FR Sevrin est un bon à rien, mais dans le fond, c'est pas un mauvais gars. ‘Sevrin is a good-for-nothing, but deep down, he's not a bad guy.’ French reason for keeping him: he is good at heart. No mention of Staelwyrn's younger self.
• DE Dieser Sevrin bereitet immer wieder Ärger, aber im Grunde ist er ein guter Kerl. ‘This Sevrin causes trouble again and again, but at bottom he is a good fellow.’ German reason for keeping him: he is good at heart. No mention of Staelwyrn's younger self.
• JA クズ野郎だが、根は良い奴なんだ。 ‘He's scum, but he's a good fellow at heart.’ Japanese reason for keeping him: he is good at heart. No mention of Staelwyrn's younger self.

Suffice it to say, I'd rather he didn't come to a sticky end. As for how to find him, I'd try askin' Grynewyda at the aetheryte. She was the last one to see him.

I daresay she'll be able to tell you where he was headed.

• DE Ich sehe dunkle Wolken am Horizont ... ‘I see dark clouds on the horizon...’ English expects Grynewyda to know where he went; German voices a foreboding of trouble ahead.

Grynewyda

Nothing that passes through those gates escapes my notice!

I saw the rouser and his rabble set out for Woad Whisper Canyon not long ago, singing about drinking themselves stupider. Cheeky sods said I should join them!

• FR Je leur ai bien rappelé qu'on avait beaucoup de travail ici et qu'ils feraient mieux de nous aider, mais ils m'ont ignorée. ‘I did remind them that we had lots of work here and that they'd do better to help us, but they ignored me.’ English says they invited her to join them; French says she told them to help but they ignored her.
• JA 手伝えって言ってるのに聞きやしないで、まったく！ ‘I told them to help out, but they wouldn't listen, honestly!’ English says they invited her to join them; Japanese says she told them to help but they ignored her.

I told them I'd rather shrivel up than sip whatever it was that had pickled their brains. If you find the idle swine, be sure and give them a cuff 'round the ear from me, will you?

• DE Ich wollte, dass sie uns beim Holzhacken helfen, aber wenn es um Arbeit geht, hört dieser Sevrin irgendwie schlecht. ‘I wanted them to help us chop wood, but when it comes to work, this Sevrin is somehow hard of hearing.’ English says she refused their drink; German says she wanted them to help chop wood.
• DE Soll er doch Schiffbruch erleiden, der Drückeberger! ‘Let him be shipwrecked, then, the shirker!’ English asks the hero to cuff them on the ear; German curses Sevrin to be shipwrecked.

Aylmer

Of all the dirty, deceitful, downright dastardly deeds that slippery bastard's done!

• DE Ich bin nur mit Müh und Not entkommen! ‘I only barely escaped!’ English rants alliteratively about Sevrin's dastardly deeds; German says the speaker barely escaped.
• JA 酒盛りだっていうから、ついてきたのに！！ ‘He said it was a drinking party, so I came along!!’ English rants alliteratively about Sevrin's dastardly deeds; Japanese complains he came along for a drinking party.
• FR Mais quel couillon j'ai été de gober ses bobards ! ‘But what an idiot I was to swallow his fibs!’ French Aylmer curses his own gullibility; English has him curse Sevrin's deeds.

Claimin' to take the lads out for a drink, only to lead us straight into a bloody trap! It don't get no lower than that!

• FR Pour nous vendre à des ravisseurs ! ‘Sevrin dared to con us, his pals... to sell us to kidnappers!’ English says Sevrin led them into a trap; French says he meant to sell them to kidnappers.
• DE Aber der Halunke hat vor, uns an eine Piratenbande auszuliefern! ‘But the scoundrel intends to hand us over to a pirate gang!’ English says Sevrin led them into a trap; German says he intends to hand them to pirates.

'Course, I've learned to stay a step ahead of ol' Sevrin, so I was ready─but the others weren't so lucky. You've got to help 'em!

EEyrimhus

My axe may as well've been a white flag for all the good it did... Hope you fare better, or the sorry bastards in there are done for.

Sozai Rarzai

Sevrin might've got us into this mess, but I ain't about to let him give his life for us. I'd sooner bow to a fishback than be in that connivin' bastard's debt! To arms!

• FR Vite, va aider Sevrin ! ‘Quick, go help Sevrin!’ English has the speaker rally to fight himself; French asks the hero to go help Sevrin.
• DE Bitte, hilf ihm! ‘Please, help him!’ English has the speaker rally to fight himself; German begs the hero to help Sevrin.
• JA お願いだ、アイツを助けてやってくれ！ ‘Please, help him!’ English has the speaker rally to fight himself; Japanese begs the hero to help Sevrin.

Sevrin

It ain't safe here! Take the others an' get out while you still can!

TTattooed Man

Resistance is futile!

Sevrin

Can't move...my leg. Leave me. Save the others.

• FR Enfin, tout ce qui compte, c'est qu'les autres aient pu s'enfuir... ‘Well, all that matters is that the others got away...’ English asks the hero to leave him and save the others; French is relieved the others already escaped.
• DE Hauptsache, ich konnte meine Gesellen noch retten ... ‘The main thing is, I was still able to save my mates...’ English asks the hero to leave him and save the others; German says Sevrin already saved them.
• JA くっ、足をやられちまって、動けねえ……だが、みんなが無事なら、それでいい…… ‘But if everyone is safe, that's enough...’ English asks the hero to leave him and save the others; Japanese is content if everyone is safe.

TTattooed Man

At long last, you will have the dog's death you deserve...deserter.

TTattooed Man

A true knave! You betray even yourself, Sevrin.

• FR T'as bien choisi ton moment pour nous trahir... ‘You picked a fine moment to betray us... eh, Sevrin?’ English says Sevrin betrays even himself; French says he chose a fine moment to betray them.
• JA この土壇場で裏切るとは……。 ‘To betray us at the last moment like this...’ English says Sevrin betrays even himself; Japanese says he betrays them at the last moment.

Sevrin

Ugh...

TTattooed Man

We were prepared to overlook the matter of your desertion on the condition that you provided us with suitable replacements. That was the agreement.

• FR Tu vas apprendre à tes dépens qu'on trompe pas deux fois les pillards du serpent ! ‘You'll learn the hard way that you don't cheat the Serpent Reavers twice!’ English states the replacement deal; French threatens that no one cheats the Reavers twice.
• DE Erst schleichst du dich im Schatten der Nacht davon, ohne dich von deinen Freunden zu verabschieden ... ‘First you sneak off under cover of night, without saying goodbye to your friends...’ English offers to overlook the desertion; German reproaches Sevrin for sneaking off at night.

Yet your latest change of heart leaves your debt to us unpaid. Few are they who betray the Serpent Reavers twice. You will not do so a third time.

• DE Fischfutter bist du! ‘You are fish food!’ German ends on a blunt image, Sevrin as fish food, instead of the “not a third time” threat.

Cowering behind your protector will only delay the inevitable. Honorless wretch...your life is all you have left.

• DE Kannst du denn gar nichts alleine, du Muttersöhnchen? ‘Can't you do anything at all on your own, you mama's boy?’ English warns hiding will only delay the inevitable; German mocks Sevrin as a mama's boy.
• JA 相変わらず、一人では何もできない男だな、てめぇは。 ‘As ever, you're a man who can't do anything alone, you.’ English warns hiding will only delay the inevitable; Japanese mocks Sevrin for never doing anything alone.
• FR Venu(e) pour aider ce couard de Sevrin ? ‘Come to help that coward Sevrin?’ French has the pirate address the adventurer directly; English keeps taunting Sevrin.
• JA なるほど、冒険者を雇ったのか……。 ‘I see, so you hired an adventurer...’ Japanese says Sevrin hired the adventurer; English only calls them his protector.

And worthless though it be, we shall take it!

• FR Rassure-toi, vous allez rôtir ensemble en enfer ! ‘Don't worry, you are going to roast together in hell!’ French threatens both Sevrin and the adventurer with roasting in hell; English only takes Sevrin's life.
• DE Die Fische können sich auf ein Festmahl freuen! ‘The fish can look forward to a feast!’ German uses a different image: the fish will feast on them.
• JA 貴様ら、まとめて葬ってやる！ ‘You lot, I'll bury you all together!’ Japanese threatens to kill Sevrin and the adventurer together; English speaks only of Sevrin's worthless life.

MMasked Magus

???: F20223O mournful voice of creation! Grant ye this humble stone a soul, that it may wake to life!01

• JA 物世に有りし石棺に偽魂を宿さん……。為せ、真理の偶像よ！ ‘Into the stone coffin of this world, I lodge a false soul... Act, O idol of truth!’ The masked mage's chant ends on truth. In Jewish legend, a golem is woken by the word for truth (emet) written on it.
• FR F20223Ô essences primitives de la création ! ‘O primal essences of creation!’ English invokes a mournful voice of creation; French invokes the primal essences of creation.
• FR Habitez d'un semblant d'âme cette enveloppe de pierre inanimée ! ‘Inhabit this lifeless shell of stone with a semblance of a soul!’ English asks for a soul; French asks for only a semblance of a soul.
• DE F20223Zürnende Stimme der Schöpfung! ‘Wrathful voice of creation!’ English invokes a mournful voice of creation; German invokes a wrathful one.
• JA 物世に有りし石棺に偽魂を宿さん……。 ‘Let a false soul dwell in the stone coffin that exists in the material world...’ English asks for a soul; Japanese asks for a false soul.

???: F20223That the golem could be vanquished...01

???: F20223That woman/man is no ordinary adventurer.01

Y'shtola

...The snake slithered away.

I am only glad he did not have the chance to sink his fangs more deeply into you.

Those pirates do not belong to any of the known Lominsan factions... Whom then do they serve? The beast tribes? Surely not.

• FR Il s'agit peut-être de ceux qui pactisent en secret avec les hommes-bêtes. ‘These pirates over there... They are perhaps those who secretly make pacts with the beastmen.’ English dismisses a beast tribe link; French suggests the pirates may secretly deal with beastmen.
• JA 最近は、裏で蛮族と取り引きしている組織もあるというけど……。 ‘Lately, they say some groups trade with the beast tribes behind the scenes, but...’ English dismisses a beast tribe link; Japanese notes some groups reportedly trade with beast tribes.

But the timing of their appearance coincides all too neatly with the recent surge in Sahagin and kobold activity... Something is afoot. The question is: what?

...Could it be that the tribes are planning to summon their primals?

Twelve help us if it should prove so. Limsa would be hard-pressed to keep a single primal at bay, let alone two. But all is yet speculation. I must needs find evidence.

• FR J'ai du mal à croire que de telles créatures existent, mais sans doute vaut-il mieux rester sur ses gardes. ‘I find it hard to believe that such creatures exist, but no doubt it is better to stay on guard.’ English fears what it would mean if true; French doubts such creatures even exist.
• DE Aber Vorsicht ist besser als Nachsicht. ‘But better safe than sorry.’ English says she must find evidence; German says it is better to be cautious.
• JA 蛮神なんて存在、信じたくはないけど……。 ‘I don't want to believe in such beings as primals, but...’ English fears what it would mean if true; Japanese does not want to believe primals exist.
• JA 注意するに越したことはないわね。 ‘It's best to be careful.’ English says she must find evidence; Japanese says it is best to be careful.

The seas continue to rise...

While the lesser moon continues to fall...

• FR Cela ne devrait pourtant pas être aussi perceptible à cette heure du jour. ‘Yet it should not be so noticeable at this time of day.’ English says the lesser moon keeps falling; French says it is oddly visible in daytime.
• DE Und so hell scheint er doch sonst nicht am helllichten Tage ... ‘And it doesn't usually shine so brightly in broad daylight...’ English says the lesser moon keeps falling; German says it shines unusually bright in daytime.
• JA 昼間でも、こんなに明るく見えるだなんて……。 ‘To think it looks this bright even in the daytime...’ English says the lesser moon keeps falling; Japanese says it looks unusually bright in daytime.

And ilm by ilm, the world becomes ever more unlike itself.

It is as Louisoix foretold...

The coming of chaos has rendered the laws of nature mutable, blurring the boundary between the material and aetherial planes... Little now stands between us and the primals.

• FR C'est ce qui a permis l'apparition d'êtres contre nature comme les Primordiaux. ‘This is what allowed unnatural beings like the Primals to appear.’ English says the primals are close but not yet here; French says they have already appeared.
• JA だから、本来は生まれないはずの存在、蛮神が生まれてしまった……。 ‘That is why beings that should never have been born, the primals, came to be born...’ English says the primals are close but not yet here; Japanese says they have already been born.

...But they are not here yet. “Though time be against us, hope shall ever be on our side.”

• DE Eine große, alles vernichtende Katastrophe steht bevor. ‘A great, all-destroying catastrophe is imminent.’ English reassures the primals are not here yet; German warns an all-destroying catastrophe is imminent.

Never did the creed of Sharlayan ring more true.

• FR C'est à nous, Sharlayanais, que revient la tâche de conserver cet espoir et d'agir dans l'intérêt de tous ! ‘It falls to us Sharlayans to keep that hope alive and act in everyone's interest!’ French has her call herself a Sharlayan with a duty to act; English only cites Sharlayan's creed.
• DE Dafür sind wir aus Sharlayan gekommen. ‘That is what we came from Sharlayan for.’ German has her say her group came from Sharlayan to fight for this; English only cites the creed.
• JA それを信じて活動するのがシャーレアン生まれの、私たちの努めだもの……。 ‘Believing in that and acting on it is the duty of us who were born in Sharlayan, after all...’ Japanese has her say she was born in Sharlayan and that acting is her duty.

Never did I dream that I would possess the means to see aether...yet now that I do, I do begin to take it for granted. How swiftly do the wonders of Sharlayan seem commonplace...

• FR La technologie sharlayanaise est vraiment surprenante. ‘Sharlayan technology is truly surprising.’ English says Sharlayan's wonders quickly seem commonplace; French marvels at how surprising they are.
• JA シャーレアンの技術もたいしたものね。 ‘Sharlayan's technology is really something.’ English says Sharlayan's wonders quickly seem commonplace; Japanese praises them as impressive.
• FR Qui aurait cru que nous serions capables de créer des appareils comme celui-ci pour observer les flux d'éther. ‘Who would have thought we would be able to create devices like this one to observe the flows of aether.’ French makes it a Sharlayan-built device she marvels at; English has her already taking it for granted.
• DE Das Gerät funktioniert fabelhaft! ‘The device works splendidly!’ German has her delighted with a device; English has her already taking the ability for granted.
• JA こんな機械で、エーテルを視覚できるようになるなんて。 ‘To think that with a machine like this one can come to see aether.’ Japanese makes it a machine she is impressed by; English has her already taking it for granted.

FFlower Girl

Um...

• DE Hallo, du da mit der Brille! ‘Hello, you there with the glasses!’ German flower girl calls out to “you with the glasses”; English has only a shy “Um...”.

Here, for you. Have you come for the festivities?

• FR Dites, vous venez d'un autre pays ? ‘Say, are you from another country?’ English asks if she came for the festivities; French asks if she is from another country.
• JA ……お姉さんは旅の方ですか？ ‘Are you a traveler, miss?’ English asks if she came for the festivities; Japanese asks if she is a traveler.

Today the Maelstrom officially makes that great hole in the sea its training ground. Join in the celebrations!

Y'shtola

Wait. A disturbance in the aetheric flow. But whence does it emanate?

...Seasong Grotto, perhaps?

What have we here...? Can you walk?

• DE Du kannst froh sein, dass du noch am Leben bist ... ‘You can be glad that you are still alive ...’ German Y'shtola tells you that you are lucky to be alive; English only wonders what she has found.

'Tis I. Regrettably, no. He eluded me. Understood. I will inform the commodore.

• FR Je vais en avertir Reyner. ‘I will let Reyner know.’ French gives the man's name, Reyner; English gives only his rank, the commodore.
• DE Ich werde es Kommandant Reyner ausrichten. ‘I will pass it on to Commander Reyner.’ German gives the man's name, Reyner; English gives only his rank, the commodore.
• JA ……了解、レイナーに伝えておくわね。 ‘...Understood, I'll let Reyner know.’ Japanese gives the man's name, Reyner; English gives only his rank, the commodore.

You collapsed from your exertions. Are you suitably recovered?

• FR Tu avais l'air absorbé(e) dans tes pensées. ‘You seemed lost in thought.’ English says the hero collapsed from exertion; French says the hero seemed lost in thought.
• JA 神秘的な幻術士: ぼうっとしてたようだけど、大丈夫？ ‘You seemed to be in a daze, are you all right?’ English says the hero collapsed from exertion; Japanese says the hero seemed dazed.

Sevrin here has apprised me of all that transpired. His account shed some light upon how you came to be attacked by a golem of all things.

A golem is a mindless automaton, inert save when commanded to be otherwise. Common pirates could not hope to control such a thing, so arcane are its workings.

But then these tattooed wretches are no common pirates─they are the minions of the Sahagin. As to their purpose...well, I shall get to the bottom of it.

• DE Diese blau tätowierten Piraten bekommen Hilfe von den Sahagin. ‘These blue-tattooed pirates are getting help from the Sahagin.’ English says the pirates serve the Sahagin; German says the Sahagin help the pirates.
• JA 神秘的な幻術士: 海賊がしていたという蒼い刺青……。 ‘The blue tattoos the pirates are said to have had...’ Japanese adds that the pirates' tattoos were blue.

But first I must escort Sevrin back to his place of employment. I daresay Staelwyrn will be wondering what has become of him.

And you too, for that matter. I will bear word to him of your preservation, but I am certain he would like to thank you in person. Pray pay the man a visit.

• JA 心配しているでしょうから。 ‘Since he must be worried.’ English says Staelwyrn will want to thank the hero; Japanese says he must be worried.

Ah...he told me of you, but perchance he did not tell you of me. My name is Y'shtola.

I am...a naturalist of sorts, surveying the aether in the hope that it might offer up some clue as to our predicament.

Sevrin

I'd say I owed you my life...but that don't cover it. If it weren't for you, my friends would be dead, an' all...

• JA 連中も上手く逃げてくれたかな……。 ‘I wonder if the guys managed to get away safely too...’ English says the friends would be dead without the hero; Japanese wonders whether they got away.
• DE Ohne dich wäre ich jetzt Fischfutter! ‘Without you I would be fish food now!’ German Sevrin speaks only of himself, as fish food; English stresses his friends would be dead too.

'Tis a debt I can never repay. But I'll not make things worse by runnin' away. Take me to Summerford Farms, an' I'll face the consequences.

• FR J-j'ai... agi comme un lâche... ‘I... acted like a coward...’ English speaks of an unpayable debt to the hero; French confesses Sevrin acted like a coward.
• DE Ich schulde dir eine Erklärung. ‘I owe you an explanation.’ English speaks of an unpayable debt of life; German says Sevrin owes an explanation.
• DE Aber lass uns erst von hier verschwinden. ‘But let's get out of here first.’ English vows not to run away; German suggests getting away from here first.

Y'shtola

For reasons I cannot fathom, you seem... Forgive me. Mayhap we shall have a chance to speak again when I have marshaled my thoughts.

Until our paths next cross, farewell.

Staelwyrn

Lo! I knew you'd return.

Y'shtola delivered Sevrin a bit ago. Tales of your heroic deeds precede you!

The rest came shufflin' back, too─the lot of 'em sportin' the same haunted expression.

Sevrin

It's me who's to blame for that─that an' the rest.

I was once a Serpent Reaver.

• JA 俺は奴ら……「海蛇の舌」の一員だったのさ。 ‘I was one of them... a member of the Sea Serpent's Tongue.’ Their Japanese name is Umihebi no Shita. The English name, Serpent Reavers, keeps the serpent but drops the tongue.
• FR J-je... j'faisais partie des pillards du serpent, avant. ‘I-I... I used to be one of the serpent's plunderers.’ The English moved the tongue from the crew to their lair, The Serpent's Tongue. The crew became the Serpent Reavers, and French and German follow the English only for the crew.
• DE Ich ... war einst bei den Plündernden Schlangen. ‘I... was once with the Plundering Serpents.’

Staelwyrn

...A thrall to the Sahagin? Seven hells... Reavers may look and sound and act like pirates, but they're naught but the fishbacks' flunkies.

Sevrin

Us pirates ain't much for laws, but there's things we won't do. We've got a code, see─but the Reavers've never followed a word of it. A few years back, they started snatchin' law-abidin' Lominsans.

• FR À l'époque, on avait commencé à enlever des Limséens, quelque chose de tabou normalement chez les pirates... ‘Back then, we had started kidnapping Lominsans, something normally taboo among pirates...’ English says the Reavers started the kidnappings; French says "we" did, including Sevrin.
• DE Die Plündernden Schlangen sind in Limsa Lominsa geächtet. ‘The Plundering Snakes are outlawed in Limsa Lominsa.’ German says the gang is outlawed in Limsa Lominsa; English speaks of a pirate code they ignore.

I'd only just taken my oath when our captain bent the knee to his new Sahagin masters. I knew I had to get away.

• FR Moi, j'étais qu'un sous-fifre, mais comme ces histoires me foutaient la pétoche, j'ai décidé de m'faire la belle... ‘Me, I was only an underling, but as all that business scared the hell out of me, I decided to do a runner...’ French Sevrin admits he fled out of fear; English gives no such motive.
• JA 当時、下っ端だった俺は、恐ろしくなって逃げ出したのさ。 ‘Back then, a mere underling, I got scared and ran away.’ Japanese Sevrin admits he ran because he was scared; English gives no such motive.

So I crept off one night, got myself a new name, an' found myself a new home─Summerford Farms. Trouble is, secrets don't stay secret for long 'round here, an' word soon spread...all the way back to the sea.

The penalty for desertion is death, but the Reavers offered me a way out instead─my freedom in exchange for my mates'.

• DE Es sei denn, ich würde ihnen helfen, neue Mitglieder „anzuwerben“. ‘Unless I were to help them “recruit” new members.’ German has the gang demand help “recruiting” members, a euphemism for kidnapping; English: his freedom for his mates'.

Staelwyrn

The letter...

Sevrin

I dunno what I was thinkin'... I wasn't bloody thinkin'. Too busy soilin' meself.

Staelwyrn

Aye, but you got there in the end, didn't you? When the time came, you made the right decision.

The men say little to me, but I hear 'em talk of how you stood up to the Reavers at the last─of how you tried to give your life to save theirs.

Sevrin

Be that as it may, no deed, however good, can atone for the crime of betrayin' your brethren.

I know that─I do. That's why I'm going to hand myself over to the Yellowjackets. I'll bring shame to the farm no more.

Staelwyrn

Hm. You'll hear no arguments from me. Each man must sail accordin' to his own moral compass.

I just hope yours guides you back here someday. There will always be a place for you at Summerford Farms, lad.

• JA このサマーフォード庄は、いつだって人手不足だ。 ‘This Summerford Farms is always short of hands.’ English warmly promises Sevrin a place; Japanese gruffly says the farm is always short-handed.

Sevrin

An' I'll always be in your debt, Staelwyrn.

• DE Herr Staelwyrn ... W-Wie kann ich Euch danken? ‘Master Staelwyrn... H-how can I thank you?’

An' yours an' all, adventurer. I've caused more than my fair share o' trouble durin' my time here─not that you need tellin'.

I owe you a debt too, [name]. Not once have you let me down. Thank you for savin' the men of my farm.

Staelwyrn

If I could ask one more favor of you, it'd be this: tell Baderon what's happened, from start to finish. I'm certain he'd put in a good word for Sevrin if he knew the whole story.

And he's one of the few people I know who the Yellowjackets'll listen to.

Well, I reckon I've asked all I can possibly ask of you. Safe travels, lass/son.

Baderon

...Bloody 'ells! Life on the farm ain't quite 'ow I pictured it!

Ah, but ye needn't worry yerself over young Sevrin. The Yellowjacket as 'ands out the punishments is a good mate o' mine. If I ask 'im nice, I reckon 'e'd be willin' to commute the lad's sentence from 'angin' to keelhaulin', kindly gent that 'e is. ...Ah, I'm only jestin' with ye! I'll see 'e's treated fair.

Now, it sounds to me like ye've done everythin' ol' Staelwyrn asked o' ye an' more─justifyin' me generous finder's fee in the process. Much obliged, lass/lad!

• FR J'ai vraiment bien fait de t'envoyer là-bas. ‘I really did well to send you there.’ English jokes it justified Baderon's finder's fee; French says he was right to send the hero.
• JA お前さんを紹介した俺も鼻が高いぜ。 ‘I'm proud too, since I'm the one who introduced you.’ English jokes it justified Baderon's finder's fee; Japanese says he is proud he introduced the hero.

As fer a reward...well, she's a lonely lady, this Drownin' Wench o' mine. 'Ow'd ye fancy keepin' 'er company fer a spell...with free room an' board?

• FR Pour commencer, je vais te laisser utiliser l'auberge attenante au Dauphin noyé. ‘To begin with, I'm going to let you use the inn attached to the Drowned Dolphin.’ English jokes the lonely tavern wants company; French plainly offers use of the inn.

'Venturin's a tryin' business, after all. Them as don't rest their bones every now an' again tend to end up with broken ones. An' take it from me: fightin' ain't nearly so much fun when yer nursin' a shattered arm. Got that? Good. There'll always be a free bed fer ye, so make use of it.

Not that ye'll 'ave much time fer lyin' around, what with all the leves ye'll be doin'. Oh, didn't I mention? I'm puttin' yer name down fer leves.

• FR Bon, ensuite, comme je suis sûr que tu débordes d'énergie et d'envie d'aider les autres, je vais te donner la possibilité d'effectuer des mandats. ‘Well, next, since I'm sure you're brimming with energy and the wish to help others, I'm going to give you the chance to take on leves.’ English jokes he has already signed the hero up for leves; French politely offers the chance.
• DE So eine zuverlässige Abenteurerin/ein zuverlässiger Abenteurer, wie du es bist, sollte sich mal an Freibriefen versuchen. ‘Such a reliable adventurer as you should try your hand at leves.’ English jokes he has already signed the hero up for leves; German suggests the hero try them.

• DE Eine gute Gelegenheit, etwas Geld zu verdienen und Erfahrung zu sammeln. ‘A good opportunity to earn some money and gain experience.’ English jokes folk pay to dodge honest labor; German pitches the jobs as money and experience.

Just give T'mokkri a shout whenever ye feel like makin' a few extra gil. She'll always 'ave some task or other fer ye to do.

Oh, an' it's all above board, 'case yer wonderin'. We're careful to stay on the Admiral's right side in 'ere─unlike some pirates I could mention... I tell ye, if it turns out they 'ad aught to do with them kidnappin's, there'll be seven hells to pay. A proper bleedin' reckonin'...

Mayhap that's what Limsa needs, though. On rough seas, sometimes ye 'ave to rock the boat to right it.

• JA リムサ・ロミンサの中で仲間割れしてるようじゃ、時代の荒海を渡ることなんてできねぇぞ。船員の内乱は船を沈める……航海の常識だってのに。 ‘If Limsa Lominsa keeps fighting among itself, it'll never cross the rough seas of these times. Strife among the crew sinks the ship... every sailor knows that, and yet...’ Baderon warns against a divided crew. The English advice is the opposite.
• FR Et on ne peut pas se permettre d'être divisés alors que Limsa Lominsa doit traverser des temps troublés... Ce serait comme tolérer une mutinerie en pleine tempête ! ‘And we can't afford to be divided while Limsa Lominsa goes through troubled times... It would be like tolerating a mutiny in mid-storm!’ The French image is a mutiny in a storm, close to the Japanese and the opposite of the English.
• DE Egal, ob Pirat oder nicht ... Wir sind alle Limser und wir sollten zusammenhalten, anstatt uns gegenseitig zu bekämpfen und zu misstrauen. Es kommen raue und stürmische Zeiten auf uns zu, und wenn die Mannschaft nicht wie ein Mann zusammensteht, werden wir kentern. ‘Pirate or not... we are all Limsans and we should stick together instead of fighting and mistrusting each other. Rough and stormy times are coming, and if the crew does not stand together as one, we'll capsize.’ Baderon pleads for unity, where the English says to rock the boat.
