10TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_SEQ_00The royal seneschal has a new event in mind to bring smiles to all the princesses of the realm. ※This quest is available for a limited time only.
21TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_SEQ_01The royal seneschal informs you that for this year's Little Ladies' Day celebration, he and Aldiytha Thorne have formulated a plan to distribute replicas of an antique folding fan to all who attend the day's festivities. Seeking to learn more about the fan, Aldiytha took it upon herself to investigate its origins, but has since been forced to halt her investigation due to her frail constitution. To lighten her burden, the royal seneschal entreats you to go to her aid, to which you promptly agree. With relief in his voice, he directs you to the Gold Court in the Steps of Thal, where he believes she is resting on a bench. ※Please note that you will be unable to complete this quest after the seasonal event has ended. For details, please check the Lodestone.
32TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_SEQ_02You find Aldiytha downcast, frustrated that she is unable to meet with two people she had arranged appointments with due to her sickly state. Bringing you up to speed, she explains that the plan for this year's celebration came into fruition when she found an antique folding fan in her home, the Thorne manor. After some research, she discovered that a fan of identical design was once used by Princess Edvya more than three centuries ago, when the audacious princess used it to perform a dance. Aldiytha, charmed by the tale, informed the royal seneschal of her desire to replicate the storied fan and incorporate it into the festivities, and so the plan to distribute fans to festival-goers was born. It was at this juncture, however, that the artisan in charge of the reproduction revealed that the fan itself was one of recent make, and not in fact from the era of the Thorne Dynasty. Desperate for answers, and unable to turn to her father, Aldiytha instead arranged to meet with a historian and a reporter with knowledge on the subject. Unable to rise to the occasion, she bids you meet with them in her stead.
43TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_SEQ_03True to your word, you meet with the historian and reporter, but nothing could have prepared you for the revelations you would discover. You learn that the fan not only belonged to Aldiytha's mother, but that such fans in particular have traditionally been used in the Little Ladies' Dance, a dance passed down from mother to daughter in the Thorne family for generations. Eager to deliver the news to Aldiytha, and simultaneously perplexed as to how she is unaware of her own family's legacy, you make for the Gold Court.
54TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_SEQ_04Aldiytha, visibly distressed by your report, confesses that she had no idea the fan belonged to her mother, nor that it was used in a long-standing family tradition. While she suspects her father had his reasons for withholding the truth from her, she is nevertheless determined to uncover it for herself, and begs your assistance once more. To learn more of her mother, Claudia Thorne, and the Little Ladies' Dance, she bids you speak with well-to-do individuals in the vicinity of the Sapphire Avenue Exchange and Eshtaime's Aesthetics.
65TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_SEQ_05You speak with two nobles who, as fortune would have it, knew Claudia Thorne, and discover that she seldom attended social functions as a result of her having had a delicate constitution. Yet despite her frequent bouts of illness, she left her mark on these two individuals, such that they well remember their interactions with her. One noblewoman─who, in turn, reveals herself to be an old friend of Claudia's─reflects fondly on the time she learned the Little Ladies' Dance, and is inspired to teach it to Aldiytha when she learns of her predicament. Meanwhile, a restless nobleman conversely recalls a bittersweet memory of Claudia─of a time when she performed the Little Ladies' Dance for him during a Little Ladies' Day celebration many years ago, only to collapse from exhaustion. Aldiytha would surely wish to be apprised of your discoveries, and so you make ready to return to the Gold Court once more.
76TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_SEQ_06You return to Aldiytha, and learn that the noblewoman from earlier indeed stopped by to teach her the dance. Delighted, you present your findings to her. Upon hearing what you have to say, she begins to suspect that her father has been keeping secrets from her out of concern for her health, but is interrupted in the midst of her musings by Rodolph's sudden arrival. He informs you both that her father, Fortin, has been worried sick about her since she disappeared from the manor, and is presently searching for her in the vicinity of the Ruby Road Exchange. Asking that you stay by her side so that she can muster the courage to face her father, you set off to meet the stringent head of House Thorne.
87TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_SEQ_07Much to your surprise, you discover that the restless nobleman you met earlier was in fact Aldiytha's father, Fortin. He reveals that he hid the truth from Aldiytha because the folding fan and Little Ladies' Dance served as painful reminders of losing the woman he loved. Aldiytha expresses sympathy for how he feels, and then to his amazement, performs the dance to perfection, bringing him back to a Little Ladies' Day long ago, when Claudia once did the same for him. Moved by his daughter's performance, he at last gives in to her wishes, pledging to serve as her seneschal for the remainder of the celebration─as long as she agrees not to push herself. Grateful for your unending support, Aldiytha offers you a replica of the fan and instructions on how to perform the dance yourself. Before you go, she announces her intention to distribute fans and share the history of the dance with as many people as possible, in hopes of making this Little Ladies' Day one to be remembered.

4948TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_BUTLER_000_000Ah, greetings, my friend! 'Tis good to see you─very good indeed, as it just so happens there is a matter with which I require assistance.
5049TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_BUTLER_000_001As you will be aware, another Little Ladies' Day is upon us, and we are celebrating all ladies as princesses, attending to their every need.
5150TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_BUTLER_000_002Begging your pardons, good madam, but you are an adventurer, are you not? If so, I should be much obliged for your kind assistance.
5251TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_BUTLER_000_003I am the royal seneschal, and it is my honor to oversee Little Ladies' Day. In case you are unfamiliar, the festival celebrates all the maidens of the realm, and my duty is to see that each and every lady is treated as a princess.
5352TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_BUTLER_000_004For this year's celebration, we are planning to distribute replicas of an antique folding fan to participants.
5453TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_BUTLER_000_006Wishing to learn more about said fan, Miss Aldiytha, a scion of House Thorne, has taken it upon herself to investigate its origins.
5554TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_BUTLER_000_007Alas, she has ever had a frail constitution and is feeling unwell. For now she rests at my insistence, but passionate as she is about the celebration, I worry that she won't stay put.
5655TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_BUTLER_000_008Thus would I turn to you for help. In order to take the burden off my lady─who is also a treasured princess this day─might I prevail upon you to assist with her investigation?
5756TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_BUTLER_000_009I'm truly grateful! Now, Miss Aldiytha should be resting on a bench in the Gold Court, so pray seek her out there. I leave her in your capable hands.
5857TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_BUTLER_000_020Miss Aldiytha should be resting on a bench in the Gold Court, so pray seek her out there. I leave her in your capable hands.
5958TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_030<sigh>
6059TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_100_030Oh, my apologies. I didn't notice you there.
6160TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_031It's been quite some time. You are well, I trust? If you are looking to partake in the festivities, I would be happy to point you in the direction of the royal seneschal.
6261TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_032Pardon me, but I do not believe we've met. Is there something you require?
6362TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_033So the royal seneschal sent you... Well, I would be lying if I said that I didn't need the help. I'm in a worse way than I had realized...
6463TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_034<sigh> I'm supposed to meet with two people as part of my investigation, but loath as I am to admit it, I'm in no condition to be up and about.
6564TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_035As you may already know, I'm investigating the origins of an antique folding fan─the very one beside me─which I found in the Thorne manor one day.
6665TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_036Curious about the design, which is unseen in Ul'dah, I turned to the history books─and discovered that it is of a style used in the palace during the Thorne Dynasty.
6766TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_037Further research revealed that Princess Edvya, my ancestor who gave rise to Little Ladies' Day, once used such a fan in a dance she performed at a royal soirée.
6867TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_038It was very beautiful, by all accounts, and I should have liked to see it.
6968TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_039Inspired by this discovery, I consulted the royal seneschal, and it was decided that we would make replicas of the fan as gifts for this year's celebration.
7069TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_040However, when we showed the fan to the artisan we hired, he declared that, while undeniably designed in the Thorne style, it was crafted much more recently─no more than a few decades ago at most.
7170TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_041This led me to wonder: who had this fan made, and why? With my mother no longer with us, I went and asked my father, but he claimed to know nothing about it and said no more.
7271TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_042Though he married into the family, he is the present head of House Thorne. If even he does not know, then I have to seek answers elsewhere.
7372TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_043Additionally, if we learned how the fan was used during Princess Edvya's time, I thought that we could share the knowledge during the celebration. Thus did I arrange to meet with people who are versed in the history of our family.
7473TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_044As I am now, however, I can scarcely stand without feeling faint. I'm sorry to impose, but might I trouble you to attend the appointments in my stead?
7574TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_045I'm in your debt. Now, you will want to take the fan with you.
7675TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_046Please show it when you meet the individuals in question. One is a reporter from the *Mythril Eye*, who will be at Arrzaneth Ossuary, and the other is a historian, who will be at the Quicksand.
7776TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_055Lest you forget, the reporter is at Arrzaneth Ossuary, and the historian the Quicksand. Please show them the fan and learn what you can about it.
7877TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FESPDYARCHAEOLOGIST04720_000_060Can I help you with something? I'm actually supposed to meet someone here, but she appears to be late...
7978TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FESPDYARCHAEOLOGIST04720_000_061Ah, so you've come on Miss Aldiytha's behalf. And this is the fan she wished me to inspect... Indeed, it is of a style hailing from the Thorne Dynasty.
8079TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FESPDYARCHAEOLOGIST04720_000_062It is said that Princess Edvya carried such a fan when she attended functions.
8180TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FESPDYARCHAEOLOGIST04720_000_063In those days, it was considered meet for noblewomen to cover their faces, to which end they carried folding fans on their persons.
8281TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FESPDYARCHAEOLOGIST04720_000_064But as the Legend of the Lost Lady would attest, Princess Edvya didn't concern herself with social norms. And at a royal soirée, far from using her fan to cover her face, she used it to perform an impromptu dance!
8382TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FESPDYARCHAEOLOGIST04720_000_065The sultan and his retinue of seneschals looked on aghast, but the guests were captivated by her performance, and erupted into rapturous applause when she finished.
8483TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FESPDYARCHAEOLOGIST04720_000_066That dance came to be known as the “Little Ladies' Dance,” and it is said to have been passed down through the women of House Thorne. The fan you hold, I expect, was crafted for that very purpose.
8584TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FESPDYARCHAEOLOGIST04720_000_067Curious, though... As a daughter of House Thorne, it seems to me that Miss Aldiytha should be aware of this legacy. In any case, I hope I was able to be of some help to her. Pray pass along my regards.
8685TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FESPDYJOURNALIST04720_000_080Where could Aldiytha be...?
8786TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FESPDYJOURNALIST04720_100_080Erm... Can I help you?
8887TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FESPDYJOURNALIST04720_000_081This fan... Aldiytha sent you, I take it. Very well, then, I'll tell you what I know.
8988TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FESPDYJOURNALIST04720_000_082When Aldiytha reached out about an antique fan she found, I was instantly reminded of a similar one that I saw long ago.
9089TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FESPDYJOURNALIST04720_000_083By her description alone, I couldn't be certain, but to see it here and now, there's no doubt in my mind: this fan once belonged to Aldiytha's mother, Claudia.
9190TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FESPDYJOURNALIST04720_000_084She was still half a girl at the time─fifteen summers old, perhaps─when I interviewed her for a Little Ladies' Day article. That day, she had this very fan with her.
9291TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FESPDYJOURNALIST04720_000_085She was out of sorts, though, and begged to sit down and rest. As tired as she looked, I decided to cut the interview short and ended up writing about something else.
9392TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FESPDYJOURNALIST04720_000_086I must say, I find it a little strange that Aldiytha should ask me about the fan. It belonged to her mother, after all. Surely she would know about it?
9493TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_090Ah, you are returned. Thank you for attending the appointments in my stead. So, did you learn aught of interest?
9594TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_091What? The fan...was my mother's?
9695TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_092And it was used to perform the Little Ladies' Dance─a dance passed down through the women of our line?
9796TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_093I...
9897TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_094Forgive me, but I'm not sure what to think. I never knew about any of this─about neither the fan nor the dance. Why didn't my mother share the tradition with me?
9998TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_Q1_000_000What will you say?
10099TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_A1_000_001Perhaps she was also unaware of it.
101100TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_A1_000_002Perhaps she didn't have the chance.
102101TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_095If this fan belonged to my mother, I'm inclined to believe she inherited the tradition, or was at least aware of it. But even if she'd wished to pass it on to me, she succumbed to illness when I was little...
103102TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_096Yes, I feel that is the only plausible explanation. My mother succumbed to illness when I was little. Even if she had wished to pass on the tradition, she never had the chance to do so...
104103TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_097Be that as it may, my father must have known something.
105104TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_098I know not why he claimed otherwise and feigned ignorance about the fan, nor do I expect that he would willingly talk.
106105TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_099Still...I want to know. About the dance, and about my mother. I'm sorry to impose yet again, adventurer, but won't you help me find the answers?
107106TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_100This means a lot to me. Thank you.
108107TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_101Now then, if my mother appeared at Little Ladies' Day with her fan, it seems likely that she performed the dance there. On that assumption, I propose we look for those who knew my mother around when she was involved in the festival. For this, wealthy middle-aged folk seems a likely place to start. Chances are they at least crossed paths with her in social circles.
109108TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_102To that end, could you please try approaching affluent-looking individuals at the Sapphire Avenue Exchange and Eshtaime's Aesthetics? I shall await you here.
110109TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_110In Ul'dah, those with wealth are wont to put it on display. I am counting on as much to lead us to someone who knew my mother.
111110TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FESPDYWOMAN04720_000_120What's that? Do I know Claudia Thorne...and the dance she used to perform? May I ask who is asking?
112111TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FESPDYWOMAN04720_100_120Goodness me, to think Aldiytha had no idea... I was good friends with her mother, I'm proud to say, and would be glad to share what I know.
113112TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FESPDYWOMAN04720_000_121She was quite frail, was Claudia, and constantly took ill. As a result, she seldom attended social functions, and certainly never performed the Little Ladies' Dance in them.
114113TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FESPDYWOMAN04720_000_122She did, however, show it to me in private, and I consider myself blessed. It was so beautiful, I begged to learn it from her.
115114TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FESPDYWOMAN04720_000_123She kindly taught me, and she would have dearly loved to teach Aldiytha too, I'm sure. It breaks my heart that she never had the chance...
116115TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FESPDYWOMAN04720_000_124But if Aldiytha is keen to learn the dance, nothing would please me more than to teach it, a poor substitute though I may be for her mother.
117116TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FESPDYWOMAN04720_000_125She awaits at the Gold Court, yes? I shall go and find her there at once!
118117TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FORTIN_000_130Where in the world did she disappear to...?
119118TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FORTIN_000_131Wh-What? Did I ever see the dance performed by Claudia Thorne!? As it happens...yes. Yes, I did...
120119TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FORTIN_000_132It was during a Little Ladies' Day celebration many years ago. Claudia was participating for the first time, and I had the honor of being her guide.
121120TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FORTIN_000_133By way of thanks for my company, she showed me the dance. Flourishing her fan, she moved with such majestic grace, I was left utterly transfixed.
122121TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FORTIN_000_134"A dance so lovely should be seen by all. Won't you perform it on stage at the festival?“ I suggested. And to my delight, she agreed with a smile.
123122TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FORTIN_000_135But no sooner did she finish enrapturing the crowds than she retreated out of sight, and all but collapsed to the ground.
124123TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FORTIN_000_136It was then that I learned of her frail constitution. Though I hadn't been aware, I felt no less terrible for making her overexert herself. I apologized profusely, begging her not to push herself ever again, and the sad look on her face when she nodded is something I've not forgotten to this day...
125124TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FORTIN_000_137Ah, but look at me prattle on to a complete stranger. My apologies. Now then, I was in the midst of looking for someone, so I shall excuse myself...
126125TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FESPDYLADY04720_000_145A Thorne woman who once danced at the festival? I'm afraid I'm not familiar. Little Ladies' Day has always been a commonfolk's festival, after all.

128127TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FESPDYLADY04720_000_150If anyone were to know about a Thorne woman who danced at Little Ladies' Day, it would be the head of the Thorne family. 'Tis under their auspices that the celebrations take place.
129128TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_160Oh, there you are. A woman was here just now. She told me she was a friend of my mother's, and kindly taught me how to perform the Little Ladies' Dance.
130129TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_161It's as beautiful as I imagined it would be, and I cannot thank you enough for finding this person. Now then, were you able to learn aught from anyone else?
131130TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_162So my mother once performed the dance before a crowd, but the exertion was too much for her...
132131TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_163From what I've now seen, the movements may indeed be trying for those of poor health.
133132TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_167Those such as myself. Thus did my father choose to keep the dance a secret from me─out of concern for my well-being.
134133TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_168...Or so I speculate, at any rate.
135134TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_RODOLPH_000_169Lady Aldiytha! Thank heavens I found you!
136135TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_170Rodolph!? Wh-What are you doing here?
137136TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_RODOLPH_000_171What am *I* doing here? Begging your pardons, my lady, but you disappeared from the manor without a word! Both your father and I have been worried sick!
138137TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_RODOLPH_000_172But all's well that ends well, and I see now that you were in good hands. Thank you, good madam, for looking after the young mistress once more.
139138TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_RODOLPH_000_173But all's well that ends well, and it seems that you were on hand for the young mistress. As her seneschal, allow me to express my heartfelt gratitude.
140139TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_RODOLPH_000_174Now then, my lady. Even as we speak, your father searches for you in the city. If you feel strong enough, let us seek him out together. It would set his mind at ease.
141140TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_175...Yes, of course.
142141TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_100_175Thanks to you, I've discovered things I never knew about my family, and I would have you at my side when I meet with my father. Will you come with me?
143142TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_110_175Thank you. Your presence will give me the courage to seek the truth.
144143TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_RODOLPH_000_176Master Fortin should be somewhere in the Ruby Road Exchange. Please follow me.
145144TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_180I told Father that I am perfectly fine, but he nevertheless insisted that I sit down...
146145TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_RODOLPH_000_181Master Fortin was beside himself with worry over the young mistress's health. He wishes to thank you for attending her.
147146TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FORTIN_000_190You... You're the woman from earlier. I should have guessed you were the one who aided my daughter...
148147TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FORTIN_000_191I said what I said not realizing you had come at her behest, but what's done is done. Now, allow me to properly introduce myself. Fortin Thorne, head of the Thorne family, at your service.
149148TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_192No more secrets, Father. Why did you hide the truth from me?
150149TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FORTIN_000_193I couldn't bring myself to tell you. Even as that fan and that dance hold fond memories of your mother, they are a painful reminder that she is gone.
151150TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FORTIN_000_194I couldn't bear to lose you as well. So please, return the fan, and forget about the dance.
152151TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_195Father... I understand full well why you feel this way. Were I in your position, I would likely feel the same.
153152TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_196But as much as I'm touched by your concern, I know about everything now. About Mother, about the fan, and even the dance...
154153TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FORTIN_000_197C-Claudia...?
155154TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_RODOLPH_000_198Lady Aldiytha, that was extraordinary! Where in the world did you learn how to dance so beautifully?
156155TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_199An old friend of Mother's taught me. Despite all these years, she still remembered the entire dance down to smallest flourish.
157156TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_200Mother brought you great joy when she danced for you that day. On coming to understand this, I knew that I wanted you to experience that joy again.
158157TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FORTIN_000_201Aldiytha...
159158TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FORTIN_000_202Like I once apologized to your mother, I must now apologize to you.
160159TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FORTIN_000_203It was wrong of me to hide the fan and the dance from you, and I hope you find it in your heart to forgive me. If it is your desire to carry on the tradition, then I will not stand in your way.
161160TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_204Thank you. But you know, Father...it *is* Little Ladies' Day. Rather than an apology, is there not a more appropriate gesture for the occasion?
162161TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FORTIN_000_205As you say, my princess. As you say. I, Fortin Thorne, head of the Thorne family, do hereby pledge to serve as your royal seneschal. Your every wish is my command.
163162TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FORTIN_000_206...Except, perhaps, when I judge that you are overexerting yourself. After all, Your Highness's well-being is my foremost priority.
164163TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_207I shall bear that in mind. Without further ado, then, my first wish is to instruct festival staff in the Little Ladies' Dance, that we may share it with all who participate in the festivities.
165164TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_FORTIN_000_208If that is your wish, then it is mine as well. On this day, all ladies are princesses, and everyone should by rights inherit the dance passed down in our family.
166165TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_209I have a gift for you, adventurer, as a token of my gratitude. It isn't much, but please accept these instructions for the dance, along with a replica of my mother's fan.
167166TEXT_FESPDY801_04720_ALDIYTHA_000_210Now then, there's no time to waste. We must distribute these fans to as many people as possible, and share with them the history of the dance. This will be a Little Ladies' Day to remember, oh yes it will!
