40TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_SEQ_00The royal seneschal is planning something new for Little Ladies' Day. ※This quest is available for a limited time only.
51TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_SEQ_01After finding great success with the Songbirds, the royal seneschal has plans to debut a new act for Little Ladies' Day: the Seneschal Prince. The young man auditioned to play the part, however, has failed to return from picking up his costume. The royal seneschal asks that you make your way to Eshtaime's Aesthetics and see what has befallen Picot, his up-and-coming star. ※Please note that you will be unable to complete this quest after the seasonal event has ended. For details, please check the Lodestone.
62TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_SEQ_02You find Picot trying and failing to convey his costume ideas to a flustered Marabel. It comes to light that the “Seneschal Prince” does not, in fact, know what makes a good seneschal, and he recruits you to form a general consensus of the role by thoroughly questioning the townspeople of Ul'dah.
73TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_SEQ_03You speak to three Ul'dahn residents and gather their thoughts on the topic of seneschals. Picot awaits your revelations at the Gold Court.
84TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_SEQ_04Having learned the qualities people expect in a seneschal, Picot declares himself ready to serve the waiting audience. When it comes to settling the specifics of his princely persona, however, it seems he desires your continued assistance.

5248TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_BUTLER_000_000Ah, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>─how wonderful to have such a reliable helper on hand. As you've no doubt noticed, the Little Ladies' Day festivities are upon us once more!
5349TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_BUTLER_000_001/'Tis a pleasure to make your acquaintance, <If(PlayerParameter(4))>Mistress<Else/>Master</If> <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. I have the honor of serving as the royal seneschal, and it is my duty to bring smiles and cheers to all the ladies of the realm.
5450TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_BUTLER_000_002What is Little Ladies' Day, you ask? Why, it is a day when the maidens of Eorzea are doted upon as princesses by their very own loyal seneschal!
5551TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_BUTLER_000_003
5652TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_BUTLER_000_004By the way, I must ask... You know of the Songbirds, do you not? How silly of me! Of <Emphasis>course</Emphasis> you do.
5753TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_BUTLER_000_005That trio of princess-styled entertainers were relative unknowns when they first took to the stage, but they've since become a Little Ladies' Day staple! Now we hope to introduce another such sensation...but this time the singer will be butler-themed.
5854TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_BUTLER_000_006I've titled this new act the “Seneschal Prince”! A royal among servants, and loyal servant to his princess!
5955TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_BUTLER_000_007The prince in question is scheduled to debut in the upcoming festival performance, but 'twould seem our chosen star is yet to return from picking up his costume.
6056TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_BUTLER_100_007Though there is ample time ere the show begins, his prolonged absence is a source of concern, to say the least. If only I were not so preoccupied with preparations...
6157TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_BUTLER_000_008Would 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.
6258TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_BUTLER_000_010I 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.
6359TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_MARABEL_000_011Ah...no, dahling, no. What I need from you are <Emphasis>specifics</Emphasis>.
6460TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_PICOT_000_020It 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!?
6561TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_MARABEL_000_021Wait...which do you want? A freezing blizzard or a burning flame?
6662TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_PICOT_000_022Oh, maybe you can help! How can we create a silvery costume that melts into chaotic darkness? Should I give up on the shiny element?
6763TEXT_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?
6864TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_MARABEL_000_024An adventurer? What can Marabel, famed designer of Eshtaime's Aesthetics, do for you, dahling?
6965TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_MARABEL_000_025
7066TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_MARABEL_000_026Here at the royal seneschal's bidding, you say? Well, I could certainly use some guidance with this costuming conundrum.
7167TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_MARABEL_000_027The 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.
7268TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_PICOT_000_028Well, there are just so many dimensions to looking “dashing.” How can one narrow the options down to a single idea...?
7369TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_MARABEL_000_029Forgive 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?
7470TEXT_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...
7571TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_PICOT_100_030Ah...it was <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>, yes? I am sorry to drag you into this dilemma of mine.
7672TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_PICOT_000_031Of 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.
7773TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_PICOT_000_032So 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.
7874TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_PICOT_000_033Hmmm, what makes the Seneschal Prince a prince among seneschals? Come to think of it, what exactly <Emphasis>is</Emphasis> a seneschal anyway?
7975TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_Q1_000_000What will you say?
8076TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_A1_000_001An unobtrusive servant who anticipates his master's needs.
8177TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_A1_000_002A person of impeccably proper manners.
8278TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_A1_000_003Perhaps you should have researched that instead...
8379TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_PICOT_000_034I see... Then my fixation on being “dashing” was entirely the wrong approach.
8480TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_PICOT_000_035You may be right. I've been approaching this from entirely the wrong angle.
8581TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_PICOT_000_036But 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!
8682TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_PICOT_000_037Hm, 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?
8783TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_PICOT_000_038Huzzah! Then first things first, I say we speak with a wide variety of townsfolk, and learn what the general public expects of a seneschal.
8884TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_PICOT_000_039Let'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!
8985TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_BUTLER_000_050I 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.
9086TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_NOBILITY05237_000_060A seneschal? Why, yes, of course─I have one in my employ.
9187TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_NOBILITY05237_000_061The 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.
9288TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_LADY05237_000_070Ah, 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.
9389TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_LADY05237_000_071The 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.
9490TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_LADY05237_000_072As 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.
9591TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_WAITER05237_000_080My 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.
9692TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_WAITER05237_000_081My work as a server at the Quicksand is similar in some respects.
9793TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_WAITER05237_000_082We 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.
9894TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_WAITER05237_000_083Above and beyond one's prescribed duties, a server's mission is to ensure as many happy customers as possible.
9995TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_NOBILITY05237_000_090A seneschal who cannot act on his own initiative is not worthy of the title.
10096TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_LADY05237_000_091I'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?
10197TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_WAITER05237_000_092Preparing 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.
10298TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_PICOT_000_100Oh, guess what, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>! I was asking about seneschals in Pearl Lane, and a merchant offered me an amazing bargain.
10399TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_PICOT_000_101He 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?
104100TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_Q2_000_000What will you say?
105101TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_A2_000_001Nothing, I'd wager.
106102TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_A2_000_002Could it be that...you're a little too trusting?
107103TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_PICOT_000_103Oh. Was I on the wrong track again? I could've sworn...
108104TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_PICOT_000_104I 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?
109105TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_PICOT_000_105Yes, when I put it like that, it just feels right! I should be thinking of ways I can make the crowds happy!
110106TEXT_FESPDX001_05237_PICOT_000_106And 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!
