"I've got a pretty heavy task ahead of me. You could say my gambling has been a way to test my luck. A way to make sure I'm ready for it."
"As a journeyman, I traveled far and wide. I worked as a mercenary back then. Made a fair bit of money gambling at pubs, too!"
"This place is a lot different from my country, but it's pretty nice. Could use a gambling hall, though..."
"So... You want to make a bet? Ha, don't worry. You're an amateur, so I'll go easy on you!"
"The way I see it, there are two ways to look at gambling. Sure, you could lose all your money... But you could also consider that paying your tuition! After all, losing is a valuable life lesson, innit?"
"Your pal Friend asked me to give you this and was insistent I not gamble it away." (Greeting from friend)
"I left my home at a young age to travel the land. I spent a long time just wandering all over. Looking back, it may not have been the smartest decision... But it did lead me to you. I'll return to my country eventually. Then I'll succeed to the throne and devote myself fully to ruling. Oh, did I mention? I'm the crown prince of Jehanna. And when I go back, I want you to come with me. I don't need your answer now, but give it some thought. Maybe we can flip a coin to decide?" (Upon reaching level 40)

"Hm? Guess you caught me cheating, huh?"
"How about a small wager on the toss of a coin? I choose tails."
"Hm, it's heads. Today must be your lucky day."
"Oops, that's tails. Looks like I win this one."
"Mother, forgive me. One day, I will return to our country, just as I promised. I swear it..."
"I could use your help. If I win our next bet, lend me your aid."

"Beautiful weather and crystal-clear water... In a place like this, Lady Luck will surely shine her blessings on me. What's that? Oh, the name's Joshua. I'm just a mercenary."

"If I swindled someone under the sun's watchful eye, I'd get burnt. Better not take my chances."
"What I wouldn't give for Jehanna's famous Audhulma ice blade right now! Betcha one quick swing of that sword would cool this place down quick."
"Watching the sun set with a drink in hand is sublime. Why, if Caellach were here we'd have a smorgasbord."
"Why don't you take a dip and relax? When you're down on luck, the best remedy is enjoying a change of pace."
"How much you wanna bet that I can slice this watermelon in two on the very first try?"
"Hey there. Fancy a coin toss? If you win, I'll tell you all about the big news from Friend." (Greeting from friend)
"My homeland, Jehanna, is a desert. Except for the southern ocean, it's all sand for as far as the eye can see. Not like we don't know what the beach is, though. I mean, it's also full of sand, innit? Gotta admit, the ocean breeze here makes for a pleasant stay. Just can't get too comfy, else I'll get burned. I welcome the lulls as much as the adrenaline. Changes up the pace and gives time for my luck to recharge. So let's make a wager. Heads, summer vacation continues. Let's see what dear Lady Luck has in store..." (Upon reaching level 40)

"I'm no stranger to heat like this. My homeland's practically a desert, after all."
"I'm not cheating this time. I swear!"
"The beach, you say? Heh... Tourists are such easy marks."
"Hey, throw some coin my way. Give me one week, and you'll see a major return."
"Whew! Swimming is more tiring than it looks... Think I'll take a quick nap..."
"If only my people could witness this summer sea... My mother would have loved it."

"I want to believe that Carlyle only desired to protect my mother, but... his actions speak for themselves."
"I always intended to return to the throne. I just had to become worthy of it first. I am, if nothing else, my mother's son...and a child of Jehanna."
"A flower can't bloom unless its roots run deep enough to sustain it. If only I had understood that as a youth..."
"I need to turn my focus to the state. There are so few leaders who grasp the true value of coin..."
"Jehanna Hall lies in cinders, but we will rebuild. We have more pressing needs to take care of first, however..."
"I've heard only good things about you. May your friendship with Kiran continue on." (Greeting from friend)
"It's hard to put into words, but...I've finally stopped running, stopped thinking only about myself. When Grado invaded, I didn't grasp the threat. How could I have known Jehanna Hall would be burned? Because I was too slow and naive, Carlyle's traitorous plot came to pass. I lost my mother because of that. It was probably too late, but I should have returned immediately when I learned who led Grado's army. Despite my failures as a son, the queen never failed me. She taught me what it means to rule with grace. I'm done wandering aimlessly. From now on, I'm going to do everything in my power to protect my people." (Upon reaching level 40)
