For those whose modus operandi is active immorality, the more innocent the victim, the better─which is perhaps why Nightshade renegades see fit to harry a hapless botanist. As said botanist would likely prefer to remain in one piece, additional assistance would not go amiss.

Dialogue

Accensor Guard: What's going on here?

Crystarium Botanist: 
  Ahem. As I harvested,
  lonely as a cloud─

Accensor Guard: 
  No, let me guess.
  You were attacked. Again.

Accensor Guard: 
  Will you require
  an escort back
  to the Crystarium?

Crystarium Botanist: 
  Ah, chivalry!
  The truest art.
  Please do.

Crystarium Botanist: 
  Hm? What breaks
  through yonder─ AUGH!

Accensor Guard: Look there!

While beating back the Elven brigands:

"Yah!"
"You're already damned, understand!?"
"So... die!"
"Piss off!"
