Typhon

"Close your eyes, don't rush to open them. They may feel slightly hot, that's normal... Shh, stay calm, I crushed some herbs to help your eyes relax. You must have been staring at some dangerous thing. I do that a lot, trust me."

"A guide...? I guess Simone is a better fit for the job. She's also a veteran hunter like me, so I know you'll be in good hands, and won't get into... trouble. There have been some misunderstandings and a few tribes now turn me away. Just remember, if anyone tells you I'm a man eater, they're lying."

"Hands off. I've told you before, no one gets to touch my bow. Not you, not the smiths. You don't have the skills to hunt shadows in the depth of Sami, so you shouldn't draw their attention. I know your kind, I know you're curious. I'll just repeat myself over, over, and over again until I get through to you."

"Check the logs from the research teams. See? These little hornbeasts are friends, they're harmless. And this kind of snow needs Arts to control, so call me if you run into some. Schysst, go ahead and add some notes to these pictures, you're pretty clever. Why the look? Is it so strange that I know how to use electronics?"

"You all are strange, just like Magallan, insisting on comprehending the land on your own terms. I've seen your hard work, you'll come to know the whole of Sami as you see her in your dreams someday. But now? You aren't there yet. I'm worried about you, but since we're working together, just listen to me and you'll be fine."

"Put that navigation instrument down, you're no professional, it's wearing you out just carrying it around. Let me lead the way, just like Arges used to do for me. She always says pitfalls and pains guide you to your destiny, but I find I can get where I want by just following the sound of the breeze and the twigs in the trees."

"You've never tried sleeping on a cave floor before? What about a bed made of vines? You should give it a try, I can't get a good night's sleep if I don't hear the heartbeat of Sami. How could I even close my eyes if I can't wake the moment I get a vision...? Yes, I have a lot of nightmares, what about it?"

"...You called for me? Did you come across some trouble? If everything's fine, let me sit here alone for a while... I'm looking at the dead. The unsullied dead will walk among the beasts of the forest... Jag letar fortfarande efter mina föräldrar."

"Have I ever gotten lost? Hmm... Maybe. I left my home at first to find revenge, but when I saw all that sullied snow, I could only think to draw my bow and aim, to show the shadows that I was the true hunter. Can you be a hunter, too? Or can you be a companion to carry me out of danger when I'm hurt?"

"Har du samma sorts drömmar som jag? Förmodligen inte. Vi är ju inte i Sami, så det är tur för dig att skuggorna inte kommer förfölja dig i dina drömmar."

"If you come across any abnormalities while we're working together, I'll take care of them for you... Codename? Typhon is my only name. I found it on the horn ornament my mother left behind. Some people say it sounds scary, though."

"Are you trying to show off your camera skills? No...? But how can you even call this combat experience, if you don't experience it yourself?"

"Um, what's this promotion badge for again? If it's useless in combat, then let's wait until we settle the danger right in front of us, then you tell me the story behind it."

"Many travelers to Sami find death in laviner caused by loud boasting, or other arrogant behavior. They never even get a chance to see Sami's shadow. You won't make the same kind of mistake, not with me accompanying you."

"Take these weapons and tools. We need them more than extra hands."

"Got it, I'll take the lead. Var inte nervös. Jag klarar det här."

"Stay close, don't run off."

"Don't let them out of sight, even if your eyes are hurting."

"Stay calm and make your move. No need to worry, I've got your back."

"What do you need of me?"

"Dags att välja vårt byte."

"Good timing."

"I'll pin you to your shadow."

"Cowards break the silence first."

"Nature should not be disturbed."

"Get out of my home!"

"Each of my arrows slows the black that taints the Sami snow."

"I see you managed to complete a mission without causing any unnecessary pain to the quarry. Um, not bad, icke dåligt. Sip a hot drink and get some rest."

"If you've run out of arrows or let your target escape, then you should give up the chase. You've already lost."

"Grasp these seeds tightly in your hand, and run. Don't look back. I'll take care of things here."

"Can you explain how these machines work? I've got a good memory, Magallan explained the structure of the research station last time, and I still remember it all... Well, at least, I think I do."

"Nähä, you'll have to be faster than that to even think about faking an attack."

"Do you have someone you trust standing guard? I want to rest for a bit, your camp is so warm..."

"Tjena. Where have you been? You're not lost, are you?"

"It's good practice to always check up on your prey, because the hunt never truly ends. I've seen you defeat many opponents and save many lives. Good on you, but... you wish to fully wipe your enemy from the face of this land? No, a permanent extermination is just wrong."

"Oh, there have been more and more people celebrating this festival. Will you have a feast too? What about fireworks? Always? Seems I've come to the right place. I'm going to look around for activities I've never tried before, so you don't have to entertain me."

"I helped you find a safe spot. Trees, water from freshly melted snow, the rotting flesh of beasts buried in the soil—you have to thank them for joining your spirit and letting you walk on this land. Come, take my hand."
