This conversation would occur if Lucia and Zihark are in the same group during Part IV, or after the three armies come back together before entering the Tower of Guidance. Zihark is Normal and Lucia is Bold.
Re-Meet and Greet
"Oh, hello there, Lucia. It's nice to see you again."
"Well met, yourself, Zihark. Last I heard, you were fighting for Daein."
"Yes. Not one of my proudest moments at times, I assure you though, especially while fighting against the Laguz Alliance. I had to sit out during a few of those fights, as I could not betray my ideals. And how about yourself? Judging by your hair, I see the rumors are true."
"Oh, you mean about the rebellion rabble? Yes, I almost died by their hand."
"How can you talk so calmly about it? It had to be a terrifying experience to be sure."
"When I was captured by that rebellious fool, Ludveck, I was already prepared to die for the queen. One has to be when you can be a target in political games such as the civil war. To be honest, I was surprised I made it out alive at all. Sir Ike certainly is full of surprises, isn't he?"
"Heh. Of course. I'm glad to see that not everyone has changed."
"Oh come now, don't sell yourself short. You haven't changed either, Zihark."
"Really now? It certainly feels like it, to be honest. I fought for a country I helped bring down three years ago, among men who willingly took part in the war against laguz. To even think about how morale could be boosted by adding a price onto a laguz's head is positively disturbing beyond believe."
"Hence why I told you not to sell yourself so short. The man I remember cared for laguz, and still does. That hasn't changed a bit."
"I suppose you're right. Either way, I'm glad to be fighting with you once again. If you ever need my assistance, don't be afraid to ask." –smiles–
"Thank you. The feeling is mutual. Don't hesitate to ask me either." –smiles–
"I'll be sure to keep that in mind, thank you."
We all know Lucia (and Geoffrey and Bastian, for that matter, but moreso Geoffrey, since Bastian is a sneaky little...) has to prep for something like that. Must be tough, really. I mean, honestly, how can you be prepared for something like that? It's madness! Anyway, thanks to dark armadillo for the convo.!
