To Earn Your Trust:

Depending on your progress in the story, characters you have yet to recruit may appear in these events.
(Basch defeats a Death Machine)

???: I was told to lend them my aid, but I have yet to find them...
Steiner: Princess!
???: "Princess"? Could that be...

(Basch runs off)

(The rest of the party faces a Vanguard Magitek Armor)

Steiner: Are you alright!?
Garnet: Yes. I'm fine, Steiner.
Galuf: You are quite the tough princess. You do not easily fall in battle.
Rem: Leave it to me. I'll heal you right up.

(Rem heals Garnet)

Garnet: Thank you, Rem.
Steiner: You! Identify yourself!

(Basch arrives)

???: You are not Her Highness... Though she should be with you.
Galuf: It seems you mean no harm. Are you looking for one of our allies?
???: Forgive me for asking, but are you Materia's warriors?
Rem: Yes, we are. And you are...?
???: You may not believe me, but I am not your enemy.
Garnet: I can see you're on your guard. But if you really are one of Materia's warriors, we want to believe you.
???: My apologies. I cannot risk mistaking the ones I must protect.
???: Protectors of the princess, I leave them to you. I will also join the fight.

(Basch points the party to more enemies)

Galuf: Oh my... It seems we were surrounded whilst in conversation.

(Basch turns to face the Vanguard Magitek Armor)

???: I will draw this one's attention away. I hope then you will believe me.
Steiner: You mean to fight it alone!?
???: If I can win your trust this way, then yes. Afterward, please tell me about your other comrades.

To Protect:

???: Lady Ashe. I am relieved to see you unharmed.
Ashe: As am I to see you, Basch.
Steiner: So you are a knight of Lady Ashe.
Faris: Something terrible must've happened to you. Your equipment is completely tattered, Mr. Knight.
Basch: Because of what happened back home, I had to don myself with whatever was available.
Basch: Besides, a general in shining armor is hardly credible.
Basch: More importantly...it seems Her Highness has been blessed with great allies.
Basch: My apologies for what I said earlier.
Basch: Materia told me about this place...
Basch: She said there are many warriors hailing from different worlds here, and among them are villains masquerading as allies.
Basch: I had to be sure that you were truly traveling with Lady Ashe.
Steiner: It is natural for a knight to worry over his princess. I would have done the same were I you.
Basch: Thank you. I think we will get along well.
Setzer: I suppose it isn't easy being a knight.
Basch: I am sorry I did not believe you or the gods right away. I have many enemies in my home world.
Setzer: Yet another caught up in troublesome politics and conspiracies added to our ranks.
Basch: My apologies...
Setzer: Don't be so serious. We're used to it.
Basch: Haha... So even you can tell how humorless I am.
Steiner: But is it not for the sake of the one you protect?
Steiner: I could tell you were such a knight from the moment I met you, Sir Basch.
Basch: I am grateful.
Basch: Allow me to introduce myself properly. Basch fon Ronsenburg, at your service.

Objectives and Adventures:

Vaan: Hey, looks like you're alright.
Basch: In a manner of speaking.
Basch: My apologies on taking so long to find you.
Vaan: You don't need to apologize. We were doing fine.
Basch: I'm relieved to see you haven't changed at all.
Cait Sith: That must mean you're happy to see him, huh, Vaan?
Vaan: No! I just wasn't sure if he'd show up or not...
Basch: Vaan isn't the sort of man to get lonely.
Basch: When I first heard about warriors from another world, I wondered what type of people they could be. You're a fearsome bunch.
Basch: I can see why Lady Ashe and Balthier trust you so.
Bartz: We feel the same. They've helped us out a lot.
Bartz: Everyone has things they need to do back in their world.
Bartz: It's only natural we'd help each other out.
Vanille: Precisely!
Vanille: Those things aside, though, traveling with everyone is just plain fun!
Vanille: What's considered "common sense" for one is different for the others. I've learned so much!
Vaan: I wonder if those things would shock Basch.
Basch: I'm not sure, so perhaps we should take it slowly.
Basch: But it's like Bartz said... I can't help thinking about the things I must do back home.
Basch: Ivalice, Dalmasca... I wonder how they're faring.
Cait Sith: Vayne is here, too. He also doesn't know how his home world is doing, so why not focus on that instead?
Basch: I see... He must be scheming something. We need to stop him.
Basch: Since Her Highness is here as well, it is my duty to protect her.
Vanille: Sounds complicated. But I'll do my best to make sure you get back home safely.
Basch: Thank you. Having such comrades is heartening.
Basch: I know I cannot lose sight of my objective...but I would also like to enjoy this adventure with my new allies.
Vanille: I'm certain you will!
