[An unnamed girl, the same from the earlier scene, is fighting a group of Imperials, who are backing her into a ledge.]
????: Who would be next?
Imperial: Close ranks! Bring her down!
Vaan: [running to the base of the ledge] Jump down!
[The girl considers…]
Vaan: Hurry!
[The girl jumps. Vaan catches her. They exchange glances for a moment.]
Imperial: She’s not alone!
Fran: Our ranks grow by the hour.
Balthier: And our troubles with them.
[After defeating the four Imperials…]
Vaan: You all right?
????: Thank you.
Vaan: Um, I’m Vaan. And this is Balthier, and – [notices Balthier and Fran walking away] Hey! [turns back to the girl] What’s your name?
????: Amalia.
Vaan: Amalia, huh? Nice to meet you.
Amalia: There were others with me…
Fran: I’m sorry.
Amalia: No…
[Suddenly, the Goddess’s Magicite in Vaan’s hands begins to glow.]
Vaan: Huh?
Balthier: Oh, now, isn’t that impressive.
Vaan: Don’t get any ideas. I said it’s mine.
Balthier: I’m afraid the jury’s still out on that one.
Amalia: You stole that?
Vaan: Yeah!
Fran: Have you finished? When the guards don’t report in, they’ll come looking for us.
Balthier: If they aren’t already.
Vaan: [to Amalia] You should come with us. Better than being by yourself.
Amalia: Very well.
Vaan: What’s wrong with her?
Balthier: You have a lot to learn before we even get started on your thievery.
Vaan: What’s that mean?
[Approach Amalia again after the cutscene…]
Amalia: The situation requires I accept such help as I find. Though it be from thieves. I shall accompany you until we find my companions. No longer.
Balthier: Let’s think of her as a “guest”, then. Unlike Fran or myself, our “guest” won’t be taking orders from anyone anytime soon. And she’ll leave when she pleases. So, we keep to our affairs, and she to hers. I doubt we’ll find her wanting in valor… being such an upstanding member of the insurgence.
Amalia: [correcting] Resistance.
[Amalia joins the party as a guest!]
Amalia: Well, what are we waiting for?
