0,"TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_SEQ_00","Mehdjina has samples that need delivering, and the anticipation of adventure strikes you like a bracing wind."
1,"TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_SEQ_01","Delighted by your timely arrival, Mehdjina briefs you on your next mission─delivering a selection of the Boutique's wares to two interested, if yet anonymous, clients in Coerthas. Your guide, she says, will be Sicard's allegedly “dear” acquaintance, Lord Emmanellain de Fortemps, who awaits your arrival even now with his usual enthusiasm and panache. After gazing at the progress you have made thus far in reconstructing Tataru's necklace, you heft two sacks of her finest work over your shoulder, and set off towards the snowy peaks of Ishgard."
2,"TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_SEQ_02","Emmanellain's warm welcome helps belay the Pillars' frankly frigid temperatures. The young lord proudly announces that your first client is Lady Laniaitte of the Rose Knights, whom he himself holds in particular esteem, to put it lightly. Sincerely hoping you are not a simple accessory to his exercises in courtship, you make for the Rosehouse in Cloudtop while Emmanellain finishes his obligatory primping."
3,"TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_SEQ_03","Lady Laniaitte gratefully accepts your bag of samples, and begins to tell you of a recent problem plaguing the islands, when Emmanellain makes his grand appearance bedecked in armor gifted─or, more accurately, stolen─from his dear friend Sicard. Immune to his antics, Laniaitte encourages him to act with decorum towards your next client, who is revealed to be none other than the infamous sky pirate crew the Redbills. This news gives Laniaitte pause, as marauding sky pirates are the very problem she had been speaking of earlier, but Emmanellain assures her that the Redbills could not possibly be complicit in such gauche affairs as reckless pillaging. With a sparkle in his eye, the young Lord de Fortemps skips off towards the Redbill standard on Coldwind, and you follow in his wake, wondering what grand adventure must await you among the clouds."
4,"TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_SEQ_04","The Redbills are happy and well─none more so than their leader Leofard, who chuckles over his successful plan to lure you out to the Parrock. True to your sneaking suspicion, he has an adventure in store that requires your quick thinking and a sack of one-of-a-kind samples (which you off-load from your shoulder). The Redbills are having their own sky pirate problems, it seems, having lost precious cargo to a gang of scrags calling themselves the “Monstrous Cockatoos.” The stolen parts are instrumental to reconstructing a most important airship, so your sky pirate friends have concocted a plan─a plan that will be further explained upon your attendance in Idyllshire, where the Cockatoos have taken refuge. Emmanellain flutters back to the Rosehouse to apprise Lady Laniaitte of the situation, and you make your way to Dravania, shoulders conspicuously lighter, but heart pounding with anticipation."
5,"TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_SEQ_05","The plan is simple as it is clever─you and Leofard will disguise yourselves as a shady merchant and <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>his</If> bodyguard, respectively, and canvas the town in search of hidden Cockatoos. Spread enough rumors of the coin to be made in the sale of stolen airship parts, and said airship parts will indubitably appear, or so the theory goes. Dressed in Stacia's best attempt at what a black market merchant looks like, and trying not to stare too enviously at the beautiful samples Leofard is sporting, the two of you set off to canvas the town.
※You must be accompanied by Leofard and wearing the black market merchant guise to complete this task. Speak with him should you become separated, or with Stacia to restore or prolong the guise."
6,"TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_SEQ_06","After mongering rumors like a professional, Leofard grins conspiratorially at you and jerks his head to the side. The two of you drift away from the very prying eyes you have been courting to where your comrades wait in the shadows..."
7,"TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_SEQ_07","The Monstrous Cockatoos appear and predictably quail at the sight of a supremely ruffled Redbill Leofard. But their cockiness rallies as a surprising ally steps forward─Leofard's longtime rival Radlia, with a string of her Talons in tow. Proud and confident as ever, Radlia makes Leofard an offer she knows he can't refuse─his allegiance in exchange for those stolen airship parts─and for a moment, the comfortable smirk fades from Leofard's lips. Brusquely assuring Radlia that rebuilding his airship is more important than anything, he turns to the leading Cockatoo and accuses him of irreparably damaging the necessary pieces. Cockatoo denies this emphatically, unwittingly divulging the location of said cargo in the process, and the smirk is back in full force as Leofard contacts Utata via linkshell and relays the relevant coordinates. Having been outsmarted, and now facing <Emphasis>the</Emphasis> <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,2)/> in mortal combat, the Cockatoos bravely turn tail and Radlia admits her defeat."
8,"TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_SEQ_08","Leofard, back in his own clothes, bids you return to the Parrock while he follows up with the Rose Knights regarding Cockatoo cleanup. You wait in Leofard's chambers and admire all his shiny baubles."
9,"TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_SEQ_09","Thankfully, Utata managed to recover all the stolen cargo, and finishing touches on the airship proceed apace. Cait Sith is just wondering what is to become of the Cockatoos' trove when Tataru Taru, your favorite boss and coinkeeper, greets you from the threshold with a cheerful wave. Beside her stands an elderly man in a paint-flecked apron. Apparently, Leofard tasked her with finding this portraitist Duremert, who is not only the creator of a number of paintings found amongst the appropriated goods, but father of the late Lady Raimille, Leofard's adoptive mother. Regarding his grandfather with an expression obscured by his goggles but betrayed in his voice, Leofard announces that the successor to his airship─the next <Emphasis>Raimille</Emphasis>─will be ready to take to the skies in no time.
After a healthy dose of adventure, a touching family reunion, and a few promising purrs from the brand-new <Emphasis>Raimille</Emphasis>, you, Tataru, and Duremert are preparing your return to Ishgard, when a package of surprising heft falls from the sky. Leofard waves as he departs, and Tataru wonders aloud what sort of reward he must have left you. Equivocating as to its contents, you smile after your sky pirate friend, knowing he has gifted you the next piece of Tataru's necklace."
10,"TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_SEQ_10","After listening to the tales of your various exploits, Duremert proclaims he feels awash with inspiration, and offers to compose portraits of your comrades and acquaintances in exchange for only the cost of supplies. While you would have him start work immediately, you must put your first commission on hold, as Mehdjina still awaits your return in Sharlayan."
11,"TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_SEQ_11","Tataru has already filled Mehdjina in on the particulars, but you divulge the requisite missing piece to her story─the item Leofard left you. At first glance, it appears to be a simple-yet-ancient strip of leather, but Mehdjina soon recognizes it as an unbreakable Mhachi relic and perfect choice of chain for the reconstructed necklace. With the Rose Knights and Redbills secured as satisfied customers, Mehdjina is brimming with your collective success and cheerfully asks for your help in the further endeavors that await."

52,"TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_MEHDJINA_000_002","She sends her regards, of course─today she is in Idyllshire for business with Rowena's House of Splendors, and tomorrow will no doubt find her in some other far-flung corner of the realm. We mustn't be outdone, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>!"
53,"TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_MEHDJINA_000_003","This time, our samples are destined for two organizations in Coerthas, an arrangement made possible by none other than Master Sicard."

55,"TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_MEHDJINA_100_004","It hardly took any time for the first letter of interest to reach us. And once these samples have been delivered, that interest will be piqued to a passion!"

4 0 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_SEQ_00 Mehdjina has samples that need delivering, and the anticipation of adventure strikes you like a bracing wind.
5 1 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_SEQ_01 Delighted by your timely arrival, Mehdjina briefs you on your next mission─delivering a selection of the Boutique's wares to two interested, if yet anonymous, clients in Coerthas. Your guide, she says, will be Sicard's allegedly “dear” acquaintance, Lord Emmanellain de Fortemps, who awaits your arrival even now with his usual enthusiasm and panache. After gazing at the progress you have made thus far in reconstructing Tataru's necklace, you heft two sacks of her finest work over your shoulder, and set off towards the snowy peaks of Ishgard.
6 2 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_SEQ_02 Emmanellain's warm welcome helps belay the Pillars' frankly frigid temperatures. The young lord proudly announces that your first client is Lady Laniaitte of the Rose Knights, whom he himself holds in particular esteem, to put it lightly. Sincerely hoping you are not a simple accessory to his exercises in courtship, you make for the Rosehouse in Cloudtop while Emmanellain finishes his obligatory primping.
7 3 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_SEQ_03 Lady Laniaitte gratefully accepts your bag of samples, and begins to tell you of a recent problem plaguing the islands, when Emmanellain makes his grand appearance bedecked in armor gifted─or, more accurately, stolen─from his dear friend Sicard. Immune to his antics, Laniaitte encourages him to act with decorum towards your next client, who is revealed to be none other than the infamous sky pirate crew the Redbills. This news gives Laniaitte pause, as marauding sky pirates are the very problem she had been speaking of earlier, but Emmanellain assures her that the Redbills could not possibly be complicit in such gauche affairs as reckless pillaging. With a sparkle in his eye, the young Lord de Fortemps skips off towards the Redbill standard on Coldwind, and you follow in his wake, wondering what grand adventure must await you among the clouds.
8 4 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_SEQ_04 The Redbills are happy and well─none more so than their leader Leofard, who chuckles over his successful plan to lure you out to the Parrock. True to your sneaking suspicion, he has an adventure in store that requires your quick thinking and a sack of one-of-a-kind samples (which you off-load from your shoulder). The Redbills are having their own sky pirate problems, it seems, having lost precious cargo to a gang of scrags calling themselves the “Monstrous Cockatoos.” The stolen parts are instrumental to reconstructing a most important airship, so your sky pirate friends have concocted a plan─a plan that will be further explained upon your attendance in Idyllshire, where the Cockatoos have taken refuge. Emmanellain flutters back to the Rosehouse to apprise Lady Laniaitte of the situation, and you make your way to Dravania, shoulders conspicuously lighter, but heart pounding with anticipation.
9 5 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_SEQ_05 The plan is simple as it is clever─you and Leofard will disguise yourselves as a shady merchant and <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>his</If> bodyguard, respectively, and canvas the town in search of hidden Cockatoos. Spread enough rumors of the coin to be made in the sale of stolen airship parts, and said airship parts will indubitably appear, or so the theory goes. Dressed in Stacia's best attempt at what a black market merchant looks like, and trying not to stare too enviously at the beautiful samples Leofard is sporting, the two of you set off to canvas the town. ※You must be accompanied by Leofard and wearing the black market merchant guise to complete this task. Speak with him should you become separated, or with Stacia to restore or prolong the guise.
10 6 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_SEQ_06 After mongering rumors like a professional, Leofard grins conspiratorially at you and jerks his head to the side. The two of you drift away from the very prying eyes you have been courting to where your comrades wait in the shadows...
11 7 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_SEQ_07 The Monstrous Cockatoos appear and predictably quail at the sight of a supremely ruffled Redbill Leofard. But their cockiness rallies as a surprising ally steps forward─Leofard's longtime rival Radlia, with a string of her Talons in tow. Proud and confident as ever, Radlia makes Leofard an offer she knows he can't refuse─his allegiance in exchange for those stolen airship parts─and for a moment, the comfortable smirk fades from Leofard's lips. Brusquely assuring Radlia that rebuilding his airship is more important than anything, he turns to the leading Cockatoo and accuses him of irreparably damaging the necessary pieces. Cockatoo denies this emphatically, unwittingly divulging the location of said cargo in the process, and the smirk is back in full force as Leofard contacts Utata via linkshell and relays the relevant coordinates. Having been outsmarted, and now facing <Emphasis>the</Emphasis> <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,2)/> in mortal combat, the Cockatoos bravely turn tail and Radlia admits her defeat.
12 8 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_SEQ_08 Leofard, back in his own clothes, bids you return to the Parrock while he follows up with the Rose Knights regarding Cockatoo cleanup. You wait in Leofard's chambers and admire all his shiny baubles.
13 9 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_SEQ_09 Thankfully, Utata managed to recover all the stolen cargo, and finishing touches on the airship proceed apace. Cait Sith is just wondering what is to become of the Cockatoos' trove when Tataru Taru, your favorite boss and coinkeeper, greets you from the threshold with a cheerful wave. Beside her stands an elderly man in a paint-flecked apron. Apparently, Leofard tasked her with finding this portraitist Duremert, who is not only the creator of a number of paintings found amongst the appropriated goods, but father of the late Lady Raimille, Leofard's adoptive mother. Regarding his grandfather with an expression obscured by his goggles but betrayed in his voice, Leofard announces that the successor to his airship─the next <Emphasis>Raimille</Emphasis>─will be ready to take to the skies in no time. After a healthy dose of adventure, a touching family reunion, and a few promising purrs from the brand-new <Emphasis>Raimille</Emphasis>, you, Tataru, and Duremert are preparing your return to Ishgard, when a package of surprising heft falls from the sky. Leofard waves as he departs, and Tataru wonders aloud what sort of reward he must have left you. Equivocating as to its contents, you smile after your sky pirate friend, knowing he has gifted you the next piece of Tataru's necklace.
14 10 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_SEQ_10 After listening to the tales of your various exploits, Duremert proclaims he feels awash with inspiration, and offers to compose portraits of your comrades and acquaintances in exchange for only the cost of supplies. While you would have him start work immediately, you must put your first commission on hold, as Mehdjina still awaits your return in Sharlayan.
15 11 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_SEQ_11 Tataru has already filled Mehdjina in on the particulars, but you divulge the requisite missing piece to her story─the item Leofard left you. At first glance, it appears to be a simple-yet-ancient strip of leather, but Mehdjina soon recognizes it as an unbreakable Mhachi relic and perfect choice of chain for the reconstructed necklace. With the Rose Knights and Redbills secured as satisfied customers, Mehdjina is brimming with your collective success and cheerfully asks for your help in the further endeavors that await.

55 51 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_MEHDJINA_000_001 Why, hello there! Your arrival could not have been more timely─Mistress Tataru has but just left instructions for another batch of deliveries.
56 52 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_MEHDJINA_000_002 She sends her regards, of course─today she is in Idyllshire for business with Rowena's House of Splendors, and tomorrow will no doubt find her in some other far-flung corner of the realm. We mustn't be outdone, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>!
57 53 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_MEHDJINA_000_003 This time, our samples are destined for two organizations in Coerthas, an arrangement made possible by none other than Master Sicard.
58 54 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_MEHDJINA_000_004 He contacted his dear friend Lord Emmanellain de Fortemps, who was kind enough to spread word of the boutique to his own contacts across Ishgard.

73 69 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LANIAITTE_000_071 Truth be told, your arrival could scarce have had better timing. While our erstwhile troubled relations with the Vanu Vanu improve by the day, we have been forced to reconsider our current munitions due to recent incidents of─
74 70 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_EMMANELLAIN_000_073 I have come, my darling blossom! Behold Emmanellain the Executioner, here to smite your foes with ruthless ardor!
75 71 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_EMMANELLAIN_000_074 Well? I strike a rather smashing silhouette, do I not? Why, Sicard could not have found a better man to gift these samples to!
76 72 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LANIAITTE_000_075 ...Surely such splendid armor could be put to better use than fashion, Lord Emmanellain. Could I not prevail upon your better senses to relinquish that gear to those who might appreciate its practicality?
77 73 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_EMMANELLAIN_000_077 F-Far be it from me to deny any request of yours, Lady Laniaitte! Only, I must confess that I may have slightly exaggerated Sicard's, er, <Emphasis>generosity</Emphasis> in the matter of gifting these...
78 74 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LANIAITTE_000_078 Ah. You mean to say you “borrowed” them. No doubt without his knowledge or consent.
79 75 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LANIAITTE_100_078 And why should I have expected otherwise? Friends may forgive, but it bears repeating that your clients deserve at least a modicum of professionalism. ...You <Emphasis>do</Emphasis> have other clients, don't you?
80 76 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_EMMANELLAIN_000_079 O-Of course I have! And of no little celebrity at that─you remember the Redbills, of course?
81 77 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LANIAITTE_100_080 The sky pirates? That an experienced adventurer should know them hardly surprises me─but how does a privileged son of House Fortemps come to make their direct acquaintance?
82 78 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_EMMANELLAIN_000_081 'Twas a happy coincidence of ale and circumstance, I assure you! As <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> here can attest, an unbiased range of social contacts is the essential arsenal of not just adventurers, but any gentleman of consequence. <If(PlayerParameter(4))>Or <Emphasis>lady</Emphasis> of consequence, as it were.<Else/></If>
83 79 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LANIAITTE_000_082 Unbiased is all very well, but...

85 81 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LANIAITTE_000_084 Recently, self-proclaimed sky pirates have been marauding trading vessels with troubling audacity. Even the Skysteel Manufactory has reported stolen property at the hands of these ruffians.
86 82 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_EMMANELLAIN_000_085 Troubling news indeed─though I cannot imagine fellows as amicable as our Redbills could be responsible.

209 205 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LEOFARD_000_423 So much for monstrous. Let's leave 'em to the garrison─ain't enough meat on their shiverin' bones to warrant the chase.
210 206 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LEOFARD_000_424 ...Radlia, Radlia. I reckon this was little more than a diversion to you, but surely you didn't think I'd fold to such a weak hand?
211 207 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LEOFARD_000_425 All the more pity that you assumed those airship parts were the only pieces of value taken from me and mine.
212 208 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LEOFARD_000_426 But no matter─it's time to make your allegiances clear. If you and your Talons intend to continue this farce, then we'll have it out, here and now. ...Well?
213 209 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_RADLIA_000_427 ...It seems I misjudged my prospects. I had thought those simpletons might amount to more than sniveling turn-tails, but I have neither loyalty nor affection for a useless Cockatoo.
214 210 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_RADLIA_000_428 I suppose I shall have to content myself with this reunion in itself. But you will need more than clever bluffs to evade me next time─of that you may be certain.
215 211 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_CAITSITH_000_440 While sky pirating may prove profitable, villainy shall not─may the Cockatoos ne'er forget the lessons learned this day!
216 212 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_STACIA_000_445 We were standin' by in case you needed help, but I'm glad it didn't come to fisticuffs. Sounds like it's only a matter of time before Radlia tries her luck again, and gods only know what she has in mind...
217 213 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LEOFARD_000_460 Those were some fine samples, without question─but nothin' beats wearin' me own rags again.
218 214 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LEOFARD_000_461 Go ahead to the Parrock and wait for us in my chambers. We'll be along once I've spoken with Our Knights Most Thorny.
219 215 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LEOFARD_000_470 I just want to make certain those snivelin' Cockatoos have all had their wings clipped. We'll meet you back at the Parrock.
220 216 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LEOFARD_000_500 Well, Utata says all stolen property is accounted for and finishin' touches on our airship proceed apace.
221 217 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_STACIA_000_501 And accordin' to the Rose Knights, the Cockatoos will be shipped off to the Diadem, where they can enjoy volunteerin' their services for the betterment of mankind.
222 218 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_CAITSITH_000_502 ...Speaking of which, Captain─what is to become of the miscellanea recovered from the Cockatoos' hoard? I am sure House Haillenarte will lay claim to their possessions, but as for the appurtenances of origins unknown...
223 219 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LEOFARD_000_503 Worry not, puss─I don't pocket any jiggumbob I find like some petty foister. We'll track down their rightful places soon enough, if my prediction holds.
224 220 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_TATARU_000_504 <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>? Is that you!?
225 221 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_TATARU_000_505 It is! And you look quite as surprised as I feel─to think we'd meet here, among the clouds! And sky pirates!
226 222 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_TATARU_000_506 I was just finishing up my affairs in Idyllshire, when who should come asking for me but Redbill Leofard! Quite the thrilling twist to my day, I'll have you know.
227 223 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LEOFARD_000_507 How did Emmanellain put it? “She's got her fingers in more pies than a high street baker”? When I got wind she was in Idyllshire, it felt like snubbin' fate not to enlist her expertise.
228 224 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_TATARU_000_508 Well, I'm exceedingly glad you did, for I have returned triumphant! Allow me to present the famous traveling portraitist, Duremert!
229 225 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_CAITSITH_000_509 ...Portraitist? But of course! Among the recovered items were a number of singularly beautiful paintings...
230 226 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_DUREMERT_000_510 Oh, I am relieved to hear it. When I learned which vessel had fallen prey to sky pirates, I thought those pieces would be lost forever...
231 227 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_CAITSITH_000_512 So you are yet another victim of the Monstrous Cockatoos... Still, a personal summons to the Parrock seems like the sort of social nicety to which the captain is normally intolerant.
232 228 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_DUREMERT_000_513 I believe my presence here may have another purpose entirely. You see, Leofard and I are old acquaintances. He commissioned me to paint that portrait, in fact.
233 229 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_DUREMERT_000_514 My beautiful daughter Raimille. She looks perfectly at home here.
234 230 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_CAITSITH_000_515 Beautiful...daughter!?
235 231 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_STACIA_000_516 Aye. Duremert is father to Lady Raimille, the gentlewoman who cared for Leofard as a lad.
236 232 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_STACIA_000_517 He abdicated all family affairs to his son when he became a practicing artist, but he's still a lord in lineage.
237 233 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_TATARU_000_518 You mean to say that the renowned portraitist Duremert is not only your grandfather, but a former lord as well!? Oh, you must forgive my blithe introduction from earlier...
238 234 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LEOFARD_000_519 Naught to forgive, Mistress Taru. On the contrary, I'm indebted to you for trackin' him down so quickly. Thanks to you, this can happen just as I hoped it might.
239 235 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LEOFARD_000_520 Construction's about finished on our new airship, and I wanted you here when I christened her. The <Emphasis>Raimille</Emphasis>...will fly again.
240 236 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_DUREMERT_000_521 My dear boy, celebrating your mother's life with you continues to be my great honor.
241 237 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_DUREMERT_000_522 When you hung her portrait here, when you named your first airship─I could see the vestiges of her love shining in your countenance then, just as it is now.
242 238 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_DUREMERT_000_523 I only hope you continue to realize her greatest wish for you─to live as free and unfettered as the sky itself. ...I know she would be very proud.
243 239 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LEOFARD_000_524 A bit like herdin' coeurls, ain't it? Gettin' us adventurin' types all in one room. But well worth the effort, I'd say.
244 240 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LEOFARD_100_524 Moments like these are meant to be shared.
245 241 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LEOFARD_000_525 ...Right! I believe we've got a new airship to fly─and the open sky awaits!
246 242 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LEOFARD_000_600 Now <Emphasis>this</Emphasis> is an airship... With how she handles, I could fly to the edge of existence and back without so much as a hiccup.
247 243 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LEOFARD_000_601 ...Which I hear on good authority─or whatever authority Emmanellain is when he's in his cups─you have <Emphasis>literally</Emphasis> done.
248 244 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LEOFARD_000_602 I reckon I've never been such equal parts awed and envious...though I'll assume me invitation was simply lost by a postmoogle.
249 245 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LEOFARD_000_603 Nay, nay, in all candor─I'm certain there are some skies only meant for your eyes. Escapades surpassin' even my wildest imaginings.
250 246 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LEOFARD_000_604 So chart the ends of eternity and horizons filled with peril. Just don't think you've seen the last of what wonders these heavens hold.
251 247 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LEOFARD_000_605 I'll come find you again before long, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. And I'll bring everythin' I always promise─that thrilling, heady rush of high adventure!
252 248 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_CAITSITH_000_606 Though farewell may be bitter sorrow, know that it is but fodder for reunions most gay.
253 249 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LEOFARD_000_607 No need to get mawkish, furball. It ain't as if <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>'s droppin' off the face of the star. ...Not permanently, anyhow.
254 250 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_STACIA_000_608 We'll meet again soon enough. Although Cait Sith is liable to mope like a damp kitten till we do.
255 251 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LEOFARD_000_609 I expect these parts will be free of half-baked brigands for a time yet, but should you ever find yourself in need of a Redbill, don't hesitate to call.
256 252 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_TATARU_000_610 Thank you! 'Tis no small comfort knowing our ships may distribute their wares in safety.
257 253 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_LEOFARD_000_611 ...As for you, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>─we'll be in touch.
258 254 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_TATARU_000_612 Well, that was invigorating! While I'd love nothing more than to catch our collective breath over a cup of tea, business calls me to Ishgard. No rest for the enterprising and talented, as they say! Shall we, Duremert?
259 255 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_DUREMERT_000_613 Might I persuade you to accompany us? I should very much like to hear of your adventures.
260 256 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_DUREMERT_000_614 Painting subjects I find personally inspiring is a particular credo of mine, and I daresay you have brushed shoulders with more than a few individuals of note.
261 257 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_DUREMERT_000_615 Thank you for indulging an old man's eccentricities. Now then─perhaps you could begin with the adventures you shared with Leofard and his crewmates...
262 258 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_TATARU_000_616 Leofard <Emphasis>intentionally</Emphasis> off-loaded this in our direction, yes? Whatever could it be...?
263 259 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_Q1_000_400 What will you say?
264 260 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_A1_000_400 A show of goodwill from the Redbills.
265 261 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_A2_000_400 Whatever it is, Leofard's a man of his word.
266 262 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_TATARU_000_620 Oh, that's right! When Leofard spoke to me about finding Duremert, he did mention sending something along in thanks.
267 263 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_TATARU_000_625 How mysterious! But now that I think of it, Leofard <Emphasis>did</Emphasis> mention sending something along when he asked me to track down Duremert.
268 264 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_TATARU_000_630 Well, I would make quite the sight lugging this around to all my meetings, so might I ask you to hold on to it for the time being? I trust you not to run off with my share of the reward!
269 265 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_TATARU_000_631 A gift from the notorious Redbills... You know, they're rather a <Emphasis>nice</Emphasis> sort of sky pirate, don't you think?
270 266 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_DUREMERT_000_640 A bright and energetic young lady is your employer, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. I hope shepherding me back to Ishgard did not delay her business overlong.
271 267 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_DUREMERT_000_641 The tales you shared on the journey here were beyond anything I could have anticipated. Never have I heard such inspiring episodes of derring-do.
272 268 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_DUREMERT_000_642 Though I may not know them personally, I find myself fascinated by the individuals you described─the comrades and acquaintances of your journeys. Yes, I believe I shall remain in the capital to paint for a time...
273 269 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_DUREMERT_000_643 Should you desire a portrait, I would happily part with it for the cost of its supplies. Find me here, and we can make the arrangements.
274 270 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_DUREMERT_000_650 I look forward to taking up my brush. Let us speak again once you have fulfilled your current obligations.
275 271 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_MEHDJINA_000_650 Welcome back! I just received word from Mistress Tataru─what's this about portraitists and sky pirates!?
276 272 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_MEHDJINA_000_651 Redbill Leofard gave you this? For the necklace?
277 273 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_MEHDJINA_100_651 It seems to be a leather strap of sorts...and an antiquated one at that...
278 274 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_MEHDJINA_000_652 ...Wait a moment. I recognize this design from my studies! This...this is a relic of the ancient city of Mhach!
279 275 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_MEHDJINA_000_653 It is said that Mhachi sorcerers would weave these cords with magicks to make them unbreakable. You'd be hard-pressed to find better material for a necklace!
280 276 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_MEHDJINA_000_655 Oh, Mistress Tataru will be so delighted. She chatted endlessly about how pleased she was to know the Redbills and what sorts of products might prove useful to our daring new friends.
281 277 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_MEHDJINA_000_656 And the Rose Knights have already placed an order for the garrison, so all in all, I believe our latest endeavor was a brilliant success!
282 278 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_MEHDJINA_000_657 As always, we shall be on the lookout for new areas of opportunity, so I hope we can count on you to serve as our charming emissary again─in fact, I believe Mistress Tataru will insist upon it! Until next time!
283 279 TEXT_AKTKSA201_04650_SYSTEM_000_700 You may now purchase portraits from Duremert by speaking to him in Ishgard.
