Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Szel Guanleu: That you have come here, and gaze at me with such bright and eager eyes... It can only mean one thing. You, you [madam/sir], are an aspiring breeder!
Szel Guanleu: No need to be embarrassed! It is perfectly natural to take an interest in the mating habits of livestock. But those secrets are not for the uninitiated, I'm afraid! You will need to start with the basics─and that means cleaning the stables!
(Optional)
Szel Guanleu: Come, now─you cannot balk at getting your hands dirty if you are to be a proper livestock breeder! 

Speaking with Szel Guanleu

Szel Guanleu: That's the spirit! Now, take this pungent sack! It's for Astrille over in Sweetsieve.
(Optional)
Szel Guanleu: Off you trot! 

Delivering the pungent sack to Astrille

Astrille: Hello there! Has anyone ever told you that you smell of fertilizer?
<Hand Over Pungent Fertilizer>
Astrille: Ah, that explains that, then. Thank you! Without such rich fertilizer as this, we'd never be able to grow the quantity of vegetables that we do.
Astrille: I usually provide Szel Guanleu with produce in return... Would you mind taking it to him?
Astrille: Hopefully the bag isn't too heavy. It's full of root vegetables and the like for the animals, and they do eat quite a bit...
(Optional)
Astrille: I hope you don't feel too put-upon by my asking you to deliver the vegetables for me...though I'd wager that you're mainly relieved it's not more dung. 

Delivering the bag of feed vegetables to Szel Guanleu

Szel Guanleu: You're back!?
<Hand Over Feed Vegetables>
Szel Guanleu: And you brought me vegetables! My, you are helplessly industrious, aren't you?
Szel Guanleu: At this point, I should probably confess that I never actually mistook you for an aspiring breeder. I was joking! But to my complete shock, you did what I asked. So then I thought to myself, surely [she'll/he'll] catch on if I try to hand over a literal sack of shite, but...
Szel Guanleu: The point is, I got carried away. I apologize. Please, take this as payment for your efforts.
