Vincent
You! We have business, you and I, and I aim to settle the debt. Victor will be avenged today!
Anna
Oh, dear. Have we met?
Vincent
Playing dumb won't save you, girly. The gold you net from the slavers will build Victor the finest grave in the land!
Anna
Careful, love. Prices aren't the only thing I can cut in half.

Vincent
What terrible luck for you to wander by today... Oh, but unlucky girls still sell! In fact, the gold you net from the slavers will build Victor a fine home!
Anna
Careful, love. Prices aren't the only thing I can cut in half.

Chrom talks to Anna
Anna
Hello there, handsome! Am I being rescued?
Chrom
Well, that was the plan, but you seem to be holding up just fine. Can you still fight?
Anna
I could stand to open a few more rogues, sure. Or locks, for that matter.
Chrom
A thief, is it?
Anna
Locksmith, thank you very much! But yes. Door or chest, I'll have it smiling wide in a trice. And it looks like these bandits have quite the hoard built up.
Chrom
...Huh. Well then, I think we're in business.
If Anna is defeated as Ally
Anna
Ugh. Well, that was careless... Sorry, friends. Looks like I've got to close up shop for the day.
VS Vincent
Vincent
You stand no chance. I'm a conqueror by name and a conqueror by nature!
Vincent Defeated
Vincent
I... I see your face, Victor... No... No, wait... That's me...

Anna
Thanks for your help. The name's Anna. Some folks like to call me the Secret Seller.
Chrom
Yes, I remember you.
Anna
Oh? ...Mmm, I'm afraid I'm drawing a blank.
Chrom
Huh? Oh, then I must be... I'm sorry. I thought you... Wait, what am I saying? I KNOW we helped you. I'm sure of it!
Anna
Oh! Hee hee! You must have met one of my sisters.
Chrom
Sisters? Gods, you look identical.
Anna
Yes, there's a strong family resemblance. Oh, and we're all traveling merchants.
Chrom
...With the same name?
Anna
Yes, actually. That's part of the secret!
Chrom
Your family gatherings must be chaotic.
Anna
True, but aren't everyone's? Still, I can't just send you on your way after helping TWO of us. So let me come along and aid you in return. I can be quite useful. You'll never make a loss with me in tow—I guarantee it!
If Paralogue 2 is not complete
Anna
Thanks for your help. The name's Anna. Some folks like to call me the Secret Seller.
Chrom
The roads are dangerous these days, Anna. Be careful on your travels.
Anna
Well, it's far less dangerous having people like you around. What do you think? Fancy taking me with you?
Chrom
You're probably safer on your own. We're marching into a war...
Anna
Well, at least I won't be bored! Besides, I can be very useful. You'll never make a loss with me in tow—I guarantee it!
If Anna was defeated
Frederick
The bandits have been dispatched, milord. It appears the peddler woman was injured and fled.
Chrom
As would any sane person. Perhaps our paths will cross again. For now, we'd best return to our own task.
