Phoenix: “Alright Swan, it’s now or never.”

[muffled voices]

Phoenix: “… that doesn’t sound good.”

Phoenix: “Did he say sheriff?”

Jovian: “Come back.”

Altair: “I will.”

Jovian: “The last time I saw you this sure about something was when you left for Lancashire.”

Altair: “I guess so.”

Jovian: “There was a reason I didn’t stop you then. I won’t stop you now.”

Jovian: “… you’re sure about this?”

Altair: “I am. These people are dangerous, but most of their forces are still up at that house. If the sheriff can deal with them, we’ll be okay.”

Jovian: “And what about the danger where you’re going?”

Altair: “I have to go, dad.”

Vespertine: “… fine. What’s your plan?”

Lyra: “I need a map, and a star chart.”

Vespertine: “So yes, well done, having Altair was a bluff. But you realize that these islands are small, and it’s only a matter of time?”

Lyra: “If I can find it without magic, it’s a lot less risk to you, right? Because there’s no way to be sure that the magic you cast through me won’t stick around in my system. And me with magic is the last thing you want.”

Lyra: “You need me to cast a beacon.”

Vespertine: “I can cast the spell through you, whether you want me to or not.”

Lyra: “But it’s going to be a whole lot easier if I play along.”

Lyra: “No, it’s alright. And as long as I’m cooperating, you’re ensuring his safety.”

Vespertine: “We’ve been over this, darling. You hold up your side of the bargain, I’ll hold mine.”

Lyra: “And then after today we never to have see each other again.”

Phoenix:In other words, I’ve bought you a day.

Vespertine: “There’s your proof of life, happy? Now we have places to be.”

Phoenix: “Labyrinth…”

Lyra: “I wouldn’t say happy, but I’m satisfied.”

Phoenix: “Wait, hold on-“

Titan: “Alright, get up.”

Phoenix: “Whoa, wait, hold on, I did what you said-“
