Alfonse: Why hello Princess Gunnthrá. How are you today?
Gunnthrá: I am well, thank you Princes Alfonse. I'm just enjoying the view of your Kingdom. It is breathtaking, with all the light and gold.
Alfonse: It has been awhile since I've taken a moment to admire the town below. I usually look at what it means to me more.
Gunnthrá: That might be a better use of your time, in all honesty. May I ask what your Kingdom means to you?
Alfonse: I see the Kingdom as our cornerstone. They have to be strong if we want to come out of this war peacefully.
Gunnthrá: Are they that important for your war effort?
Alfonse: In a way, yes. Without our people, working tirelessly on making weapons, defences, food rations, our Knights won't be able to do any fighting at all. But we're here to make sure they're all safe as well, so it works both ways.
Gunnthrá: Do you think all your people share your sentiment?
Alfonse: Most do, from what I've seen. We haven't had any unrest, if that's what you're asking. They're mostly fearful, as they don't know what to make of the Muspellian forces. Some are already turning Surtr into a monster for children's stories.
Gunnthrá: That is so different from what happened in Nifl…
Alfonse: Hmmm, I would enjoy hearing how your country dealt with Muspell sometime, if you would be happy to share, of course?
Gunnthrá: It would be no trouble. If it helps your Kingdom, then all the better.
Alfonse: Thank you, but I must bid your leave for now.

Alfonse: Princess Gunnthrá. Hello again. Are you free currently?
Gunnthrá: I am, Prince Alfonse. You wish to know about Muspells invasion of Nifl?
Alfonse: Please. If it is a painful story, however…
Gunnthrá: No, no, I would prefer to use whatever feelings I have about our defeat to fuel your understanding of why we were conquered. Hopefully, it can assist you and the Order in defeating Surtr once and for all.
Alfonse: I'm as so pleased to hear you say that.
Gunnthrá: Well, I might start at the start. Our country has a slow method of communicating with each other, and when Surtr first arrived, he razed our outlying villages with little trouble. Because of this, it was too late for our capital to counter-attack when news of Muspells arrival did reach us.
Alfonse: We seem to have been lucky in receiving a forewarning, then.
Gunnthrá: Yes. However, our response to Muspell, even when we did find out about the invasion, was delayed and fractured. There was in-fighting amongst the royalty at the time, and my mother wasn't able to speak to the people about the oncoming attack. Our forces were so thin, that when Surtr arrived at our front gate, mother was the only one who…
Alfonse: Gunnthrá?
Gunnthrá: I am sorry. Remembering my mother like this… she was so brave, even in the face of a demon… I wish I had even a tenth of her spirit, but I… I fled, even as my little sisters took up the fight… I'm sorry, but I feel I am done for today…
Alfonse: Of course, may you rest well.

Gunnthrá: Prince Alfonse? I wish to apologise for the other day.
Alfonse: No, you don't have to apologise for anything, Princess. Because you are braver than you think. In many ways, braver than I.
Gunnthrá: I'm afraid I don't follow.
Alfonse: You may have left your mother on that fateful day, but you were able to avoid the Muspell forces for months, and in our world, gave your life to prepare us for the Rite of Frost. Those feats are all worthy of being called 'brave'.
Gunnthrá: But, those are things this worlds Gunnthrá has done. I have done hardly any of those…
Alfonse: You may be from a different world, but you are still Gunnthrá. You have the same capacity for Heroism. Some might even say you're a Legendary Hero for those feats.
Gunnthrá: You're going to make me blush, Prince Alfonse… But what about yourself? You've stared down Surtr time and time again, and have always thought of the people first, if the stories are to be believed. You seem very Legendary yourself.
Alfonse: Truth be told, I was shaking in my boots every time I spoke to that Hell-spawn. I'm not that brave…
Gunnthrá: Maybe it isn't the absence of fear that makes us brave, but standing up in spite of our fear?
Alfonse: That is a nice sentiment. Well then, we'll have to work together to remain brave in this oncoming war, Princess Gunnthrá.
Gunnthrá: So we shall. I'm lucky to have a friend like you at my side.
