Dialogue
Accepting the Quest
Aarner: My letters! Scattered by the winds! Whose idea was it to build this city with so many breezy walkways? Aarner: <sigh> No. In this, too, I have no one to blame but myself. They are important to me, though, so might I ask you to search for them? There are three, all told. They likely came to rest in the Derelicts, as these things tend to. (Optional) Aarner: I would fetch the letters myself, but I'm meant to be meeting someone here, and I don't believe I could stand to disappoint yet another person.
Delivering the tearstained letters to Aarner near the Grand Dame's Parlor
Aarner: Ah, there you are. Did you have any luck? <Hand Over 3 Tearstained Letter> Aarner: You found all three! Wonderful! I cannot possibly express how difficult it would have been for me to rewrite them. Aarner: Wait... Now I've had a good look at you─are you perchance one of those responsible from freeing us from Vauthry's influence? Aarner: I thought as much. You have my thanks, for opening my eyes. Aarner: I used to reside in the Crystarium, you know. But the moment that I saw for myself what happens when the eaters take a person... I truly understood, for the first time, that our world teeters on the brink of destruction. I was terrified. Aarner: I knew I could do nothing to change fate. So I came to Eulmore, hoping to forget it instead. Abandoned my work, my family...everything. And I felt no guilt for it, convinced as I was that nothing mattered. Aarner: Now, though, the scales have fallen from my eyes. I've always been a coward, and what I did was a betrayal of the highest order. And I know...I know there's no going back. Aarner: If nothing else, however, I can apologize for what I've done. So I labored over these letters, hoping to convey my contrition. I don't expect forgiveness, but I hope it might mean something, at least, to those I left behind. Aarner: I cannot alter what has been done, but I can change myself. Try to be better. And you will always have my gratitude for giving me the ability to see that─you and your elven friend, both. Thank you.
(Optional) Aarner: To tell you the truth, I don't know where to go from here. How to be better than I have been. And that scares me─but I won't run. Not this time.
