"Can you try exploring the place? I doubt anyone will see you in this ghost form of yours."
"Well, even if they did, Vlad and Schierke taught me enough magic for me not to worry about about apostles, even if I don't have any runes ready."
"Sounds useful to have a bodyguard such as yourself, I wish someone like you were around back in the war. A female company would have done me wonders back in the old falcons... Then again, I'm not sure what would have happened to you if you did..."
"The timeline wouldn't add up to it, anyway. I was too young for it. All I had in my mind back then was unrequited love from the men in my life, and the wish to be more than who I really was."
"Guess that's why we've gotten along so well, wasn't it? Even our men are somewhat similar."
"I wouldn't really call Guts all that similar to Vlad, I can see the lone wolf incarnated on Guts' spirit. Even at his roughest, Vlad's eyes have are too puppy-like to see him being nearly as menacing. Guts might be a brute, but sometimes Vlad is so sensitive I feel like I'm talking to another girl, no offense." Casca compared the two.
"That's exactly what I like about him. Though even if he is so understanding, I don't think any man can comprehend the power they can have over us. The thought of finally being liberated from the shackles of being merely perceived as women, but as real human beings. To make us escape this miserable reality and live in the ideal world we wished we always were in."
"Honestly, I've had enough of believing in men like these. As much as I understand what Guts has gone through, it's one thing to forgive him for leaving me in a cage with Rickert in the mountains instead of being there for me when it all happened... It's another to forget that it happened. And the one who enlightened me before that... Is now fused with the only one I was sure I could protect..."
"...I'm sorry for bringing that up. I'm still trying to wrap my head around that, too." Farnese's luminous body gave a warm hug to Casca, before warning that she would be back in a few minutes after scouting the place.
"Lord Griffith thinks he is keeping these two safely hidden away from the public... Unfortunately for him, his greatest detractor is already inside his kingdom." Farnese heard the thoughts of a figure hidden away in the darkness as if they were one. Unnoticed by the guards despite remaining in plain sight.
Whatever idea the exiled member of the Bakiraka clan had by being aware of that information, Rakshas would be another renegade apostle that they could possibly confide in, though even that was too early to tell. Wanting to know more about who that mysterious apostle was, Farnese's first mission is Falconia was to know more about the apostle assassin.
