Bhujerban (woman in white): I saw a parijanah here standing. He was counting the Archadian warships that passed beneath. He must be quite a military enthusiast. Ayi…
Bhujerban Sainikah: The Marquis is currently unavailable pending recovery from illness. Do not worry, he has posted a minister to govern in his absence.
Bhujerban (woman in white sitting on wall with her son): Do all boys love the sky so? I fear that, one day, he will say he wants to be a sky pirate! A pirate! What is his poor mother to do? Hanta…
Bhujerban (woman in green, pink, and brown sitting on ledge): Haa… I have heard that Lhusu’s output has dropped most severely of late. Without the mines, our wealth will fade. I worry for Bhujerba.
City Parijanah: Svagatam, traveler! Welcome! I am a parijanah, a guide. May I be of assistance? Haa… it is you. The Marquis has quit Bhujerba, and now prepares his Resistance in the marches. You are aware this knowledge is most privileged. Please, be discreet.
Bhujerban (woman in white leaning against wall by Rithil’s): The Marquis Ondore has taken his leave of the city. I hear he has been taken ill. Without the Marquis here who shall protect Bhujerba?
Bhujerban Sainikah: Have you heard of the instability in the Empire? It is little surprise. Long have the Imperial House and the Senate been at odds.
City Parijanah: Haa, the young Captain Ronsenburg! You are to join Marquis Ondore’s Resistance? You will be pleased to know that there are many youths here in Bhujerba who sympathize most greatly with our cause.
Bhujerban (woman in white sitting on crate next to Targe’s): The dead Captain Ronsen-boori-boori walks again, and his Excellency the Marquis has fallen ill. Bhujerba has gone mad, along with all Ivalice.
City Parijanah: So… Rozarria has awakened her armies. She must have been preparing all along, while Archadia’s eyes were pointed elsewhere.
Bhujerban (woman leaning against wall in front of magickery): That magickery, it was quite popular upon its opening. I wonder how it fares these days? Competition in Bhujerba is quite fierce, you see.
Bhujerban (tan bangaa walking around in front of magickery): Ye know that Imperial fleet that was anchored here in Bhujerba? Turns out that’s just a fraction of the Imperial armada! Glad we’re not at war…
Bhujerban (man in green and brown shorts leaning against wall): Bhujerba is free today thanks to the Marquis’s keen sense of politics. Should something happen to him… I would fear for Bhujerba’s future.
City Parijanah: Haa, it is you. At last, the Resistance has begun to move in earnest. All depends on our resolve and our secrecy now. Please be discreet.
Bhujerban Sainikah: The parijanah guides work for the Office of the Marquis… Have you noticed their numbers are thinning of late? This does not surprise me. It is a difficult and most thankless job.
City Parijanah: I am glad to see you are… behaving yourself. His Excellency the Marquis may not be in the city, but our eyes are ever shining and watchful.
Street Kid: Tatah works in the mines, but he has not gone to work in a very long time. He says they are not sending so many stones to the Empire any more.
City Parijanah: Svagatam, traveler. I must not speak too loudly of these things, but allow me to assure you that our organization is in perfect order.
