These are still only in the draft stage, but I have written all the banters. I know that numbers don't quite match up to what I said, but lacking inspiration would mean that any additional ones would make the talks feel forced.
NOTE: I've implemented (another) name change from "Corvinus" to "Corvus". It's still up for debate, however.

== S#MARC ~I...~
= ~You're wrong. I was shown such kindness. I never held a coin for more than an hour before it was taken from me. I learned the hard way to fend for myself, even if it meant that I had to resort to crime. I was too weak to fight those thieves, then. The children that fought back... It did not end well.~
== BNALIA ~Marcos... I am sorry for everything that has happened, but don't you see? You have the power to save them, now.~
== S#MARC ~If they cannot fend for themselves, my intervention serves no true purpose other than to leave them praying for a hero to save them next time.~

Thoughts? Errors? Typos? OMG this man can't make up his mind? Consistencies/inconsistencies? Etc? Feedback is appreciated!
You tend to get a lot of that with NPCs somehow "knowing" that Yoshimo is untrustworthy/etc/etc. Yoshimo is a brilliant trickster, one of the best--unless your NPC is inhumanly astute, there is no way they are going to be able to tell.
