Meanwhile, Beatrix, Elisabeth, and Adam continued, meeting Shepard a few moments later.
"Look at you!" Elisabeth said, shaking her head with a bitter smile as she glanced at Shepard's blood-stained robes and wrinkly face.

"Cough. Did you come to heal or mock me?"

"Mhh. I'll heal you if you let your disciple study in my academy," she answered, her lips curling into an innocent smile.
