In the Warrior's Honor
Old Lady Who Knows Emmy: "I spotted Emmy in the town square looking troubled. Perhaps you can lend her an ear. She looked like she could use a friend."
Over in the Town Square
Emmy: "!? Oh, hi, Rush. ... I just received a letter, challenging the head of the Honeywell clan to a duel. Our family is known for being the greatest of warriors. People far and wide come to challenge the Honeywells. Warrior Yerva... There isn't a soldier alive who doesn't know that name. This is my first duel defending the Honeywell name. I cannot afford to lose. Rush, will you come with me to witness the duel?"
Rush: "Sounds boring."
Emmy: "Alright. I understand."
or:
Rush: "If you want me to."
Emmy: "Thanks, Rush. Let's head to Aveclyff. Watch over me, Mother."
Upon talking to her again, or have suspended the quest at some point
Emmy: "I just received a letter, challenging the head of the Honeywell clan to a duel. Rush, will you come with me to witness the duel?"
Rush: "Sounds boring."
Emmy: "Alright. I understand."
or:
Rush: "If you want me to."
Emmy: "Thanks, Rush. Let's head to Aveclyff. Watch over me, Mother."
And off to Aveclyff we go!
Warrior Yerva: "I've been waiting for you. Fellow soldier. Make your way to the farthest room. That is where I shall wait. The elevation devices now function properly. They will help save your strength for when we duel."
After making your way over to Yerva...
Warrior Yerva: "You've finally arrived, Emma Honeywell. Let's begin. Hm? You seem very young, child. Do you claim to be Emma Honeywell, the head of the Honeywell clan?"
Emmy: "I am Emma Honeywell II. I bring with me my mother's sword as proof of my heritage."
Warrior Yerva: "Hrmph. I had my sights set on fighting a real solder, not some child..."
Emmy: "I understand your disappointment. However, you must see me fight before deeming me an unworthy opponent."
Warrior Yerva: "I like your spirit. Then let us begin!"
Upon winning the duel:
Warrior Yerva: "Grah...! Y-you are much stronger than you appear to be..."
Emmy: "I fought a fair battle. I have yet to live up to becoming more worthy of wielding this sword. I still have a long journey ahead."
Warrior Yerva: "Oh? Hahaha! You are young and yet so sensible. The future looks bright for you. You can find me in Virtus Parish in Athlum. My fellow mercenaries and I will be there if you need anything. "
Emmy: "Thank you, Warrior Yerva. It is an honor to be rewarded with such an opportunity."
Upon return to Athlum:
Emmy: "... Will I ever surpass Mother? Everyone I talk to sees my mother in me. I understand, because I carry a big part of her with me. But will the day ever come when people see me for me?"
Rush: "Of course!"
Emmy: "Thanks. I know that's what Mother would want for me, too."
or:
Rush: "Probably not."
Emmy: "It's not an easy task, trying to surpass Mother..."
Emmy: "Here. A little token of my appreciation. Thank you, Rush."
Emmy: "Let's go."
