1,"TEXT_LUCKBC013_03222_SEQ_01","Jannequinard has taken notice that Master Rufin─better known as Lady Leveva─may not be in the highest of spirits, and has asked you to take a quick stroll to the Last Vigil to learn what is troubling her."
2,"TEXT_LUCKBC013_03222_SEQ_02","Before you can discern the source of Lady Leveva's disquiet, the young astrologian tasks you with greeting Kyokuho at the city-state's aetheryte plaza─where he is scheduled to arrive at any moment."
3,"TEXT_LUCKBC013_03222_SEQ_03","You locate Kyokuho and warmly welcome the geomancer back to Ishgard before informing him of Jannequinard's concern regarding Lady Leveva's state of mind. You elect to continue your conversation at the Athenaeum Astrologicum."
4,"TEXT_LUCKBC013_03222_SEQ_04","For reasons unstated (and most likely unfounded), Kyokuho comes to the hasty conclusion that Lady Leveva is knee-deep in the thralls of love, and it is an affair of the heart that clutters her thoughts. The Far Eastern fop insists that you must confront Leveva if any manner of normality is to be restored."
5,"TEXT_LUCKBC013_03222_SEQ_05","Upon discovering you and Kyokuho trading whispers behind her back like schoolgirls at recess, Lady Leveva makes it clear that the cause of her distress is most definitely <Emphasis>not</Emphasis> some mysterious longing for companionship. Unfortunately, she departs for Camp Dragonhead before you have the chance to confirm what exactly <Emphasis>is</Emphasis> the cause of that stress. One not need be an accomplished reader of the stars to know that a journey to the selfsame outpost awaits you."
6,"TEXT_LUCKBC013_03222_SEQ_06","As it turns out, Lady Leveva is struggling to formulate how the schools of Sharlayan astrology and Far Eastern geomancy might be incorporated into a single art. Recollections of your time spent in the First, however, have given her cause for excitement. She now asks for you to cast Aspected Benefic that she might witness firsthand your bond to this nightless realm's astral energies."
7,"TEXT_LUCKBC013_03222_SEQ_07","Like when a candle is lit in the dark, Lady Leveva's mind is flooded with inspiration, and you are to thank. Eager to continue her studies, the reinvigorated astrologer bids you a hasty farewell before hurrying back to the Athenaeum."
8,"TEXT_LUCKBC013_03222_SEQ_08","Lady Leveva apologizes to her companions for not confiding in them her troubles, then promptly reveals her only romantic interest is her studies─a “revelation” with which Kyokuho seems disturbingly uncomfortable."

50,"TEXT_LUCKBC013_03222_JANNEQUINARD_000_002","I thought I might ascertain the source of her worriment with the Deck of Sixty, but was presented the usual slumgullion of vague portents and portentous vagaries. By the time I unwrapped my throbbing head from the spread, all I could discern was something about a “dark wind blowing from the east.”"
51,"TEXT_LUCKBC013_03222_JANNEQUINARD_000_003","I suppose this could imply any number of things─ill tidings from our allies in Doma, a rainstorm brewing over the Black Shroud, a fire at that fine patisserie near the Arc of the Venerable... Why, I suppose even <Emphasis>you</Emphasis> could be the dark wind. Ahem. No. Right."
52,"TEXT_LUCKBC013_03222_JANNEQUINARD_000_004","Let us simply say, I am worried about our companion, but am at a loss as to how I might help her. Leveva has been spending much of her days up at the Last Vigil, staring blankly out over the Sea of Clouds. I've attempted speaking with her, but the lady is about as receptive to my concerns as one might expect. Perhaps, though, she would prove more forthcoming with her star pupil? "
53,"TEXT_LUCKBC013_03222_JANNEQUINARD_000_010","The Last Vigil was once a lookout for the See's Knights Dragoon, though by the time anyone manning the outpost spotted a dragon, it was far too late to do aught but crawl into a root cellar and pray."

57,"TEXT_LUCKBC013_03222_LEVEVA_000_023","Seeing as he has provided me with a wealth of valuable insight into his discipline, the least I could do would be to greet him upon his arrival. Unfortunately, I must see to some unfinished affairs near the Architects..."
58,"TEXT_LUCKBC013_03222_LEVEVA_000_024","Would it be too much to ask for you to visit the aetheryte plaza in my stead? I shall catch up with both of you later at the Athenaeum Astrologicum."
59,"TEXT_LUCKBC013_03222_JANNEQUINARD_000_030","Kyokuho will be arriving at the aetheryte plaza. You cannot well greet him while loitering here in the Pillars, unless you heard tell he was flying in on the back of a dragon?"

62,"TEXT_LUCKBC013_03222_KYOKUHO_000_042","I intended this to be but a short visit to discuss how matters have progressed since you vanquished Kinko and aided me in restoring my grandfather's wards. However, I suppose all that can wait."

66,"TEXT_LUCKBC013_03222_JANNEQUINARD_000_061","Ah, so I see someone has wasted little time in informing every rat in the Brume of matters that I thought it obvious were of a more personal nature."
67,"TEXT_LUCKBC013_03222_KYOKUHO_000_062","Oh, save the drama for the stage, my friend. <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> merely recognized that the intimate connection Lady Leveva and I forged in Kugane made me the perfect candidate for discerning what might be weighing oh, so heavily on her soul."

And now, bereft of purpose, she has turned her eyes to companionship to fill the void that lies agape in her heart."

96,"TEXT_LUCKBC013_03222_JANNEQUINARD_000_119","I see. It comes as little surprise that one of her social standing would be betrothed at such a young age. Such is the custom amongst older houses─even in a city as progressive as Sharlayan─and she hails from one of the oldest."
97,"TEXT_LUCKBC013_03222_KYOKUHO_000_120","I suppose... It's just that─"
98,"TEXT_LUCKBC013_03222_JANNEQUINARD_000_121","Kyokuho! Whither the vim and vigor from our conversation earlier? And all this upon learning Lady Leveva is to be married. A more astute observant might presume a certain emotional attachment to our young protégé."
99,"TEXT_LUCKBC013_03222_JANNEQUINARD_000_122","But that would be ludicrous. I, for one, know that good Kyokuho's feelings towards Leveva are naught but those of admiration for her skill at the astromantic arts. So let us return to the task at hand. We still do not know what is weighing down on the lady's fragile heart."
100,"TEXT_LUCKBC013_03222_JANNEQUINARD_000_123","And what better way to find out than to ask. A novel idea, don't you think? Asking someone what is troubling them rather than assuming─without having actually spoken with them, or even seen them for some time─that they're simply longing for amorous relations."

102,"TEXT_LUCKBC013_03222_JANNEQUINARD_000_130","I could accompany you to Camp Dragonhead, but one thing my time with Lady Leveva has taught me is that when she has her head wrapped about some vexatious affair, the last person's company she desires is mine."

104,"TEXT_LUCKBC013_03222_LEVEVA_000_140","As persistent as always... Fine. You have seen through my ruse. I am <Emphasis>not</Emphasis>, in fact, promised to another. I simply implied as much to silence Kyokuho."
105,"TEXT_LUCKBC013_03222_LEVEVA_000_141","Alright, there <Emphasis>was</Emphasis> a time I was promised to another. We have my grandfather to thank for that. However, since I am now officially <Emphasis>deceased</Emphasis>, my assumption is that the arrangement will have been annulled. Not that I shall ever bother to actually confirm this assumption."
106,"TEXT_LUCKBC013_03222_LEVEVA_000_142","What is troubling me? <sigh> 'Twas not my intention to involve you or Jannequinard...or even Kyokuho in such matters. However, the discord my silence has sown perhaps warrants an explanation."
107,"TEXT_LUCKBC013_03222_LEVEVA_000_143","Despite repeated efforts following our recent achievements in Kugane, I have been unable to conceive feasible means of blending the teachings of Sharlayan astrology and those of Far Eastern geomancy."
108,"TEXT_LUCKBC013_03222_LEVEVA_000_144","As Kyokuho explained, unlike astrologians who look to the stars above to read their fates, geomancers look to the star <Emphasis>below</Emphasis> and listen to its songs, and draw their answers from its whispers."
