104,"TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_PICOT_000_104","I see. So a seneschal is someone who serves others; someone who anticipates what needs to be done, and prepares for those tasks in advance. In my case, then, I should be a seneschal who...serves his fans?"
105,"TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_PICOT_000_105","Yes, when I put it like that, it just feels right! I should be thinking of ways I can make the crowds happy!"

61 57 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_BUTLER_000_008 Would you mind looking in on him for me? “Picot” is his name, and he was meant to be speaking with a designer at Eshtaime's Aesthetics.
62 58 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_BUTLER_000_010 I would be grateful if you could see what is keeping young Picot, and doubly so if you could render any needed assistance. He was on his way to Eshtaime's Aesthetics the last time we spoke.
63 59 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_MARABEL_000_011 Ah...no, dahling, no. What I need from you are <Emphasis>specifics</Emphasis>.
64 60 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_PICOT_000_020 It has to shine with a sharp, frozen brilliance, like a blizzard slicing through the darkest night... A-And it should dazzle like a searing flame, threatening to burn your fingers at the merest touch! Doesn't that sound amazing!?
65 61 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_MARABEL_000_021 Wait...which do you want? A freezing blizzard or a burning flame?
66 62 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_PICOT_000_022 Oh, maybe you can help! How can we create a silvery costume that melts into chaotic darkness? Should I give up on the shiny element?
67 63 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_MARABEL_000_023 <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>, how lovely to see you, dahling! Why, we haven't spoken since you helped me snatch victory in the walk-off. What brings you to Eshtaime's?
68 64 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_MARABEL_000_024 An adventurer? What can Marabel, famed designer of Eshtaime's Aesthetics, do for you, dahling?
69 65 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_MARABEL_000_025
70 66 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_MARABEL_000_026 Here at the royal seneschal's bidding, you say? Well, I could certainly use some guidance with this costuming conundrum.
71 67 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_MARABEL_000_027 The costume itself is largely complete. I simply wanted to add the finishing flair in accordance with the “prince's” wishes, but I'm struggling to envision the image he's trying to convey.
72 68 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_PICOT_000_028 Well, there are just so many dimensions to looking “dashing.” How can one narrow the options down to a single idea...?
73 69 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_MARABEL_000_029 Forgive me, dahlings, but I've other projects to attend to. Would you mind coming back once you've helped the lad decide on a more definitive direction?
74 70 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_PICOT_000_030 <sigh> This is not going well. I couldn't ask for a better opportunity, and here I am ruining my own debut...
75 71 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_PICOT_100_030 Ah...it was <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>, yes? I am sorry to drag you into this dilemma of mine.
76 72 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_PICOT_000_031 Of all those who auditioned, they chose <Emphasis>me</Emphasis> to be the Seneschal Prince. My job now is to become a star performer, and creating a dashing and princely persona seemed the best way to achieve that.
77 73 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_PICOT_000_032 So I did my research into the subject, delving into books about the most gallant individuals─how they act, how they dress, that sort of thing... But when I tried to explain, it all came out a jumbled mess.
78 74 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_PICOT_000_033 Hmmm, what makes the Seneschal Prince a prince among seneschals? Come to think of it, what exactly <Emphasis>is</Emphasis> a seneschal anyway?
79 75 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_Q1_000_000 What will you say?
80 76 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_A1_000_001 An unobtrusive servant who anticipates his master's needs.
81 77 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_A1_000_002 A person of impeccably proper manners.
82 78 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_A1_000_003 Perhaps you should have researched that instead...
83 79 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_PICOT_000_034 I see... Then my fixation on being “dashing” was entirely the wrong approach.
84 80 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_PICOT_000_035 You may be right. I've been approaching this from entirely the wrong angle.
85 81 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_PICOT_000_036 But at least now one thing is clear! I must learn the ways of a seneschal if I'm to be the best Seneschal Prince I can be!
86 82 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_PICOT_000_037 Hm, you seem a knowledgeable sort. Left to my own devices, I fear wasting time on the wrong thing again... Will you help me with my research?
87 83 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_PICOT_000_038 Huzzah! Then first things first, I say we speak with a wide variety of townsfolk, and learn what the general public expects of a seneschal.
88 84 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_PICOT_000_039 Let's split up that we might gather as many opinions as possible. I'll leave the Steps of Thal to you, and we can meet at the Gold Court afterwards!
89 85 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_BUTLER_000_050 I would be grateful if you could see what is keeping young Picot, and doubly so if you could render any needed assistance. He was on his way to Eshtaime's Aesthetics the last time we spoke.
90 86 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_NOBILITY05237_000_060 A seneschal? Why, yes, of course─I have one in my employ.
91 87 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_NOBILITY05237_000_061 The accomplished ones foresee what must be done, and act without need for instruction. Those who stand around awaiting orders have no business taking the position.
92 88 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_LADY05237_000_070 Ah, that word ever puts me in mind of the first royal seneschal himself, Sultan Baldric. It's said that every year one girl was chosen from the townspeople by lot, and he would attend to that lucky lass as her personal servant for the entire day.
93 89 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_LADY05237_000_071 The festival is no longer about choosing a single princess, of course, but oh how I still daydream about having an attentive seneschal at my beck and call.
94 90 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_LADY05237_000_072 As a child, whenever Little Ladies' Day came around I would always hold out hope that <Emphasis>this</Emphasis> would be the year I was chosen.
95 91 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_WAITER05237_000_080 My impressions of a seneschal? Hmmm... Well, they strike me as people who excel at preparations. Performing tasks to a demanding lord or lady's satisfaction hinges upon their ability to think ahead─to plan events to perfection.
96 92 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_WAITER05237_000_081 My work as a server at the Quicksand is similar in some respects.
97 93 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_WAITER05237_000_082 We have a special Little Ladies' Day menu on offer this year, and I have everything memorized─the ingredients, the presentation, the flavors─down to the smallest detail. Everything from the main course to the beverages and desserts will be perfect.
98 94 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_WAITER05237_000_083 Above and beyond one's prescribed duties, a server's mission is to ensure as many happy customers as possible.
99 95 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_NOBILITY05237_000_090 A seneschal who cannot act on his own initiative is not worthy of the title.
100 96 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_LADY05237_000_091 I'm rather taken with Sultan Baldric's “seneschal for a day” idea. Having someone devoted to your needs alone is like a dream come true, don't you agree?
101 97 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_WAITER05237_000_092 Preparing for things in advance is a skill both seneschals and servers have in common. There is no better way to ensure satisfaction, be it for a customer or the master of the house.
102 98 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_PICOT_000_100 Oh, guess what, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>! I was asking about seneschals in Pearl Lane, and a merchant offered me an amazing bargain.
103 99 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_PICOT_000_101 He showed me a rare urn of “incalculable worth,” but even the “heavily discounted price” was far more coin than I could afford... Come to think of it, what do urns have to do with seneschals, anyway?
104 100 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_Q2_000_000 What will you say?
105 101 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_A2_000_001 Nothing, I'd wager.
106 102 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_A2_000_002 Could it be that...you're a little too trusting?
107 103 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_PICOT_000_103 Oh. Was I on the wrong track again? I could've sworn...
108 104 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_PICOT_000_104 I see. So a seneschal is someone who serves others; someone who anticipates what needs to be done, and prepares for those tasks in advance. In my case, then, I should be a seneschal who...serves his fans?
109 105 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_PICOT_000_105 Yes, when I put it like that, it just feels right! I should be thinking of ways I can make the crowds happy!
110 106 TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_PICOT_000_106 And that's exactly what I'll do. Now, if you could stick around a while longer, I'd appreciate some help in becoming the best seneschal I can be!
