Dialogue

Kassandra travelled to a small farm in Arkadia east of the Forest of Soron. There, she spotted a woman humming a tune while watering the flowers.

You have the voice of a Siren.Flirt – I'd like to sing with you.You were never much of a singer.

• Kassandra: Your voice would have made Odysseus tear himself from the mast of his ship.

Anais turned around.

• Anais: Who are you? What are you doing here? Speak before I cut you!
• Kassandra: Gods how I've missed that temper.
• Anais: Kassandra? Is it really you?

Kassandra hummed along with the woman, who later turned around.

• Anais: You were always better with your fists than with your singing.
• Kassandra: And you're as beautiful as you were on Kephallonia.
• Anais: I was covered in mud half the time. Still am. Life of a farmer I suppose.

• Kassandra: It's good to see after all these years, your singing voice hasn't improved.

Anais turned around.

• Anais: Who are you? What are you doing here? Speak before I cut you!
• Kassandra: Gods how I've missed that temper.
• Anais: Kassandra? Is it really you?

Kassandra reunited with Anais

• Kassandra: I got your note. How'd you know I was in Arkadia?
• Anais: Everyone's hunting for the misthios with the broken spear and pet eagle. So I started a little hunt of my own.
• Kassandra: No matter where I used to hide on Kephallonia, you were the only one who could always find me.
• Anais: That's because you were terrible at hiding.

I was better at hiding than you.Flirt – I wanted to be found.

• Kassandra: Me? You're the one who couldn't hide if your life depended on it.

• Kassandra: Maybe you only found me because I wanted you to.

• Anais: Listen, we both know I was the one who was best at hiding. I'll prove it. Stay here, close your eyes, and at the count of ten come and find me.
• Kassandra: You're joking.
• Anais: Come, it'll be like old times. And no using Ikaros, that's cheating! Now. Close your eyes.

Kassandra closed her eyes and begin counting. As she does so, Anais went to hide in the nearby wheat fields.

• Kassandra: Ena... Dio...Tria...Tessera...Pente...Exi...Epta...Okto...Ennea...Deka.

Kassandra opened her eyes and turned around.

• Kassandra: Ready or not, here I come.

After a while, she found Anais.

• Kassandra: You call this hiding?
• Anais: Your tracking skills have improved.

I never liked this game.Flirt – I couldn't wait to see you again.

• Kassandra: Well, I thought this game was silly then... and I stil think it's silly now.
• Anais: After all these years, you haven't changed one bit.

• Kassandra: It feels like forever since we've seen each other. I couldn't wait to find you.
• Anais: When did you become so charming?
• Kassandra: Since I got your note.

• Anais: Oh, this is too much fun. I want to hear everything about your life, from the day I left until now.
• Kassandra: And I want to hear about yours.
• Anais: My story would put you to sleep. Come, let's go to the beach and talk like we used to in Sami.

Anais and Kassandra climbed onto their horses. Kassandra then followed Anais as she headed to the beach near the Phigaleia Fishing Port. They arrived at a small altar and got off their horses.

• Anais: Your life sounds so exciting... But there's something very important I need to know. Can you still hold your breath?
• Kassandra: My breath?
• Anais: On Kephallonia you could always swim farther and deeper than anyone else. You used to bring me the most beautiful treasures from the sea.
• Kassandra: Don't move.

Kassandra set off to the sea, diving down and recovered a seashell. She then resurfaced and returned to Anais.

• Anais: You were under water so long, I was getting worried.

There were sharks.Flirt – I wanted to find the perfect gift.Poseidon's no match for me.

• Kassandra: A few sharks... got in the way.
• Anais: Sharks!
• Kassandra: Nothing I couldn't take care of.
• Kassandra: I did manage to find you this.

Kassandra handed over the seashell.

• Anais: Oh Kassandra, it's beautiful.

Anais then began sobbing.

• Kassandra: I wasn't coming up for air until I found the perfect gift.

Kassandra handed over the seashell.

• Anais: It's beautiful. You warm my heart like the sunrise.

My heart broke when you left.I could warm other parts for you.I'd bring you the ocean if I could.

• Kassandra: I didn't know how much you meant to me until I watched you sail away.
• Anais: We're here now, together. That's all that matters.

The two later spent some time together and slept. After waking up, Anais got up and began sobbing. Kassandra got up.

• Kassandra: Was it that bad?

• Kassandra: Your heart isn't the only thing I could warm up.

Anais laughs.

• Anais: Has that line ever worked for you?
• Kassandra: I guess not.

• Kassandra: I'd bring you the whole ocean to see that smile.

The two later spent some time together and slept. After waking up, Anais got up and began sobbing. Kassandra got up.

• Kassandra: Was it that bad?

• Kassandra: Poseidon and his pets couldn't get between me and my prize.
• Anais: You haven't changed. While everyone else cowers before the gods, you'd challenge them to a fistfight.
• Kassandra: I did manage to find you this.

Kassandra handed over the seashell.

• Anais: Oh Kassandra, it's beautiful.

Anais then began sobbing.

Anais crying

• Kassandra: Anais, what's wrong?
• Anais: Seeing you... Playing and laughing like old times. There's something I haven't told you. I'm married.

Kassandra paused for a moment.

• Kassandra: I see.
• Anais: I should have told you sooner. I'm sorry. Meet me back at the house. I'll explain everything.

Outcome

Kassandra was reunited with her old friend Anais. After a session of catching up, she learned that she was married.
