10TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_SEQ_00Emeria of Hyrstmill is deeply troubled and could do with the aid of a kindly adventurer.
21TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_SEQ_01Emeria is the object of the unwanted attentions of a notorious thief named Ailbert. Meet him in the woods outside of Hyrstmill and convince him to leave the poor woman in peace.
32TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_SEQ_02Upon realizing that he has been spurned, Ailbert flies into a rage and lashes out. After subduing him, you discover a sealed letter addressed to the object of his affection. Deliver the letter to Emeria in Hyrstmill.
43TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_SEQ_03Moved by Ailbert's words, Emeria has resolved to return the goods stolen by the lovelorn thief on his behalf. Deliver Emeria's message to Miounne at the Carline Canopy.
54TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_SEQ_04Miounne reveals to you the truth about Ailbert and Emeria: they are brother and sister! Alas, Emeria has no memory of him, as she was too young to remember when he was forced to leave their home. Though Ailbert has yet to repent for his sins, perhaps Emeria's decision to return his gifts to their rightful owners will convince him to renounce his life of crime...

4948TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_EMERIA_000_1Pardon me, milady! Might you be the adventurer of whom Eadbert speaks so highly? If you could but spare a moment...
5049TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_EMERIA_000_2I-I've never thought myself a popular girl, and men rarely give me cause to believe otherwise... Yet lately I've been the recipient of several gifts.
5150TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_EMERIA_000_3Sparkling jewels and fine silks over which a prouder maid than I would surely swoon─all from an anonymous admirer. Naturally, I was flattered...but I knew nothing of my mysterious benefactor.
5251TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_EMERIA_000_4And so I endeavored to seek him out...only to discover that he is none other than Ailbert, an infamous rogue wanted for countless robberies in Gridania!
5352TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_EMERIA_000_5I realize now that all of his presents were taken from others...and that I have unwittingly won the affections of a dangerous criminal...
5453TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_EMERIA_000_6But that's not all... With his latest gift came a request.
5554TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_EMERIA_000_7He insists that we meet in the woods outside of Hyrstmill, where he intends to present me with his most precious gift.
5655TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_EMERIA_000_8I am at a loss. I beg of you, milady, will you not go in my stead?
5756TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_EMERIA_000_9I wish only to be left in peace, but I fear a man such as he may be driven to violence when made to hear such words. I pray no harm comes to you...
5857TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_AILBERT_000_20...You expectin' someone, missy? Eh? *Ailbert*!?
5958TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_AILBERT_000_21Well I'll be damned if I was expectin' you!
6059TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_AILBERT_000_22*Where's Emeria*!? Where is she, damn you!? What did you say to her!? All I wanted was to see her face!
6160TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_AILBERT_000_23I don't know what part you've played in this, but you'll pay for comin' between me an' mine!
6261TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_EMERIA_000_30All for naught... I give thanks that you're unharmed, at least.
6362TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_EMERIA_000_31A letter? For me?
6463TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_EMERIA_000_32(-Emeria-)"My dearest Emeria,
6564TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_EMERIA_000_33(-Emeria-)"I pray this letter finds you well. I know my gifts were sudden and many, but I hope they were to your liking.
6665TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_EMERIA_000_34(-Emeria-)"Seeing you in the first summer of your womanhood, I could restrain myself no longer. My thoughts have been only of you these past many moons, of what gifts might bring you happiness.
6766TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_EMERIA_000_35(-Emeria-)"Yet to see you smile from afar is not nearly enough. I long to live together with you in Hyrstmill, and nothing would bring me greater joy.
6867TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_EMERIA_000_36(-Emeria-)"I would give you a grand garden, filled with the white chamomile you love so.
6968TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_EMERIA_000_37(-Emeria-)"But such dreams can never come true. My crimes are known and will never be forgiven.
7069TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_EMERIA_000_38(-Emeria-)"The most I can hope for is for you to know my heart. That would grant me a measure of peace. And so, if it does not cause you distress, I would write to you again. Yours ever, Ailbert“
7170TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_EMERIA_000_39Thank you for bringing me this letter, Player. His most precious gift... I understand now.
7271TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_EMERIA_000_40But...how did he know my favorite flower?
7372TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_EMERIA_000_41Is Ailbert...? No, no, it can't be...
7473TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_EMERIA_000_42A-Anyway, we must return the presents to their rightful owners! I know it will not erase this...Ailbert's sins, but perhaps the Twelve will view him more kindly.
7574TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_EMERIA_000_43Forgive me this final request, but could you go to Gridania and speak with a woman named Miounne?
7675TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_EMERIA_000_44You should find her in the Carline Canopy. Tell her of all that transpired here today. She'll know what to do.
7776TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_MIOUNNE_000_50Hmmm? A message from Emeria of Hyrstmill, you say?
7877TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_MIOUNNE_000_51...I see. Oh, Ailbert, you fool... I'll deal with the stolen goods, worry not.
7978TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_MIOUNNE_000_52Yes, I know of the boy─and his family. He once lived in this very town.
8079TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_MIOUNNE_000_53One day, he stole a handful of chamomile seeds from an influential merchant in the Ebony Stalls. You see...this boy had a sister, and chamomile was her favorite flower.
8180TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_MIOUNNE_000_54Seeking only to make his sister happy, I doubt he grasped the gravity of his act. Regardless, his parents felt that he had brought terrible shame to the family. And so they disowned him.
8281TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_MIOUNNE_000_55Cast out of hearth and home, he grew desperate. And those who think only of survival think little of law. A common enough tale perhaps, but no less tragic for it.
8382TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_MIOUNNE_000_56And now you know the truth: the sister Ailbert loved so dearly is Emeria.
8483TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_MIOUNNE_000_57Emeria was too young to remember when Ailbert left, so her parents decided to conceal his existence.
8584TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_MIOUNNE_000_58However, word of the boy's banishment soon spread, and her parents were forced to move to Hyrstmill to maintain the fiction.
8685TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_MIOUNNE_000_59By now, Emeria's surely heard rumors of her long-lost brother, though a gentle girl like her would never question her parents' honesty. And whatever faint memories she once may have had are long gone.
8786TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_MIOUNNE_000_60But Ailbert has never forgotten Emeria. Despite the danger, I suspect he now keeps close to Gridania, refusing to leave his beloved sister a second time.
8887TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_MIOUNNE_000_61...I'll send Emeria some chamomile seeds by way of thanks for helping us to recover the stolen goods.
8988TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_MIOUNNE_000_62If only it were as simple as returning them to their rightful owners... Sadly, Ailbert's crimes will not be so easily forgiven.
9089TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_MIOUNNE_000_63But perhaps, by the time these seeds have sprouted and their flowers bloomed, he will have found a new path.
9190TEXT_SUBFST024_00099_POP_MESSAGEYou hear a man cry out in rage!
