Kohaku: You worry about me too much, Hisui.

3 stars
Hisui: Overprotective? Me? You're kidding, right?
Kohaku: It's nice to know you care, but you sometimes overdo it.

4 stars
Hisui: I just worry, is all. No good worrying when it's too late.
Kohaku: You're only so annoying because you love me, I guess.

Chalcedony: Would it hurt to curb your oafish mouth just a little?

1 star
Hisui: He's tougher than his stupid haircut makes him look.
Chalcedony: His skills at least seem less disagreeable than his mouth,

2 stars
Hisui: I still don't like the guy, but he sure can fight.
Chalcedony: Though his skills are fair, he falls far short of my mastery.

3 stars
Hisui: You think that's all I got? I ain't even started yet!
Chalcedony: So he was concealing his true potential? Interesting.

4 stars
Hisui: Talk? Who needs talk? Real men talk with their fists!
Chalcedony: "Real men talk with their fists"? Odd fellow.

5 stars

Chalcedony: Lapse into complacency, and I will leave you far behind!

6 stars
Hisui: Gah, watchin' you fight gets me all fired up for a scrap!

3 stars
Gall: I like this lady's style. I wanna know more about her.
Ines: That was fun! You, me, another drink-- soon!

4 stars
Gall: Can't help feeling I'm still not seeing the real Ines.
Ines: Should I tell all? If I do, that's my mystique blown.

5 stars

4 stars
Gall: Oof. That's some kick. Sure sign of a rock-solid Spiria!
Kohaku: Why does he look so happy? I just kicked him.

5 stars

GALL and CHALCEDONY
0 stars
Gall: Good to have you along, Wings!
Chalcedony: He appears stout and true, yet distant somehow. 

1 stars
Gall: You don't see a Soma like that every day.
Chalcedony: I have heard tell of his Soma mastery. Are the tales true?

2 stars
Gall: This whole wings thing seems a little unfair, no?
Chalcedony: We must speak someday of strategy, old man.

3 stars
Gall: You Crystal Knights sure know how to fight with style.
Chalcedony: I would relish a chance to pit my skills against his.

4 stars
Gall: A kid your age shouldn't be frowning like that.

Kohaku: A girl in a strange hat.

1 star

Chalcedony: Though she appears dainty, her legs are flailing clubs!

3 stars
Kohaku: Chalcedony isn't a deviant too, is he?
