Tekci

Golden Hills, Upper Main

[First talk]

Tekci: What a beautiful, Golden Paradise! I love coming here after the festival.

Tekci: If only she had been able to see it too…

Leif: It's truly something. Here on a pilgrimage?

Tekci: O-Oh, explorers! What a wonderful surprise! I am indeed. Aren't these violet leaves just amazing?

Tekci: This whole area is so full of beauty, yet it's still dangerous. Please be careful as you take in the sights.

Kabbu: Thank you, miss. Be safe as well!


[subsequent talks]

Tekci: I wish these pilgrimages would last forever. I can't get enough of this Golden Paradise...


[Quest: In Search of Something]

[first or subsequent talk dialogue, as relevant, then]

Tekci: ...Wait a second!

Vi: Huh, what?

Tekci: You three look like you are looking for something up here, are you not?

Leif: That's very perceptive of you. Indeed we are.

Tekci: Do you think I could help you?

Kabbu: ...I doubt it. But we thank you for your offer.

Tekci: Oh, come on, try me! I know these hills inside and out.

Vi: Uh, lemme check our quests…

(minibubble) Kabbu: ......

Tekci: There's someone who's restricted himself to a small cave?

Vi: Kind of a weirdo, right?

Tekci: ...Could you take me to him?

Leif: For what purpose?

Tekci: I don't know...I think I can help. Trust me?

Kabbu: This whole request chain is a bit abnormal...very well.

Kabbu: Please stay close to us, and we'll escort you to sir hermit.

Tekci: No rush. Don't forget to enjoy the sights you came here for!


Golden Path, Hermit Cave

Vi: Here goes...Um, hermit dude! Is this what you were looking for?

Elom: A bug? My request led you to another bug?

Leif: In hindsight, probably not what a hermit wants…

Tekci: Hello, I've heard of your quest. That you've been here for so long…

Elom: And? You will try to make me see the bright side, like all the others?

Tekci: Oh, not at all. I think this place is lovely.

Tekci: If it's kept you entertained, it must be full of hidden wonders!

Tekci: Would you mind if I stayed and looked around?

Elom: ...!

Tekci: ...If that's okay.

Elom: You look at this world in a wholly different way, don't you?

Elom: You're not searching for the meaning in things.

Tekci: I think things happen just because. I love to admire the results!

Elom: …

Elom: I would like you to stay.

Tekci: Call me Tekci. It'll be my pleasure!

Elom: Explorers…

Kabbu: Y-Yes?

Elom: Thank you. I never expected you to go this far for me…

Vi: Uh, me neither. Did we just play match makers!?

Leif: As long as everyone's happy…

Elom: This is the one worldly thing I have left.

Elom: It is from my younger days...I'm glad I kept it. If only to give it to you.

Tekci: I must thank you too, although I have nothing to give…

Leif: Don't worry about it. We'll leave you to your introspection, and stuff.

Kabbu: If you ever need us, just post in the town's quest board!


[talk after completing quest]

Tekci: Elom's been here so long, but there's a flower he never noticed!

Elom: Tekci's got such a good eye for the small things in this world...It's really refreshing.

Elom: I'm blessed you made us meet.

[Golden Hills, Upper Main]

Kabbu: It seems Venus has granted this cricket access to the hills.

Vi: Huh. So it's not only by winning offerings?

Leif: What could Venus' criteria be...?


[Golden Path, Hermit Cave]

Kabbu: This quest did not end as I expected…

Leif: Eh, they're both happy. It works out.

Vi: The client's always right!
