    Synopsis:

    Halsin's default in-party dialogue once you have him available as a companion. You recruit/dismiss him, and discuss an assortment of topics with him.

    How to trigger:

    Speak to Halsin once he's recruitable (progress through the lifting the curse quest until Halsin brings Thaniel to the player's camp, then speak to him there. Alternatively, use debug to add companions).

            : Francesca has found some initiates still yearn for the false promises the Shadow Druids peddled. She has been working hard to show them the error of their ways.

              : She is well-suited to the task - better than I, perhaps. To cleanse a land of shadows is one thing, but to sway a heart from a dark path is another matter entirely...devnote

            : There have been difficulties - some initiates harbour too much admiration for Kagha's course of action. Francesca will do what she must to rid them of such notions.
