Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Sharp–eyed Samurai: Is it true what they say? That you can soar the sky freely as a bird?
Sharp–eyed Samurai: Then there is a mission I would entrust to you. The very nature of it makes you best suited.
Sharp–eyed Samurai: But we shouldn't speak here. Pray meet me outside.

Speaking with the sharp–eyed samurai

Sharp–eyed Samurai: Apologies for the sudden change of venue. You see, we have reason to believe there is a traitor among us.
Sharp–eyed Samurai: To be precise, the man has since retired from active duty, but he was once one of our most skilled shinobi. 'Tis nigh impossible to shadow him, even were I a shinobi myself, which I am not.
Sharp–eyed Samurai: And here is where you come in. Take this.
Sharp–eyed Samurai: A telescope. With it, I want you to observe the target from a distance. The tops of cliffs and buildings would offer a clear view without risk of detection.
Sharp–eyed Samurai: You need only keep watch and tell me what you have seen. We shall handle whatever should follow.
Sharp–eyed Samurai: Now then, the target will soon be heading to the Moon Gates. For your benefit, I shall mark some suitable vantage points on your map. Good luck, and see you back at the House of the Fierce. 

Reporting to the sharp–eyed Samurai

Sharp–eyed Samurai: So, what was the suspect doing?
< What was the suspect doing? >
< Meeting with a Lupin. >
< Doing some manner of business. >
< Meeting with a Lupin. >
Sharp–eyed Samurai: A Lupin, you say? I have an inkling as to the purpose of the meeting.
< Doing some manner of business. >
Sharp–eyed Samurai: Business, you say? I have an inkling as to what he handed over.
(Both)
Sharp–eyed Samurai: Recently, funds and supplies sent from our sympathizers have been disappearing with some regularity. 'Twould seem they are ending up in the hands of Lupin brigands.
Sharp–eyed Samurai: In a time when we must band together for the greater good, it saddens me to think that there are those still who place personal gain first. At any rate, you may leave the rest to us. My thanks for your cooperation.
