- Urianger fixes you with his gaze.
All is well with us...for the time being. There's no telling what manner of games the pixies will dream up.
|
Have you met Urianger yet? The sooner you do, the sooner we can leave this place.
|
We will be much bolstered for Urianger's company.
|
Oh...er, no need to worry about me. I'm quite familiar with the manor.
|
During our wanderings, Thancred and I would often return here. It's where I imbue his ammunition.
|
My friend. Ere I speak of the task at hand, there is a question I would pose to thee.
|
What thinkest thou...of mine appearance?
|
What will you say?
Did you take up astrology?
|
Did you lose weight?
|
I didn't recognize you at first.
|
Indeed. Though the night be lost, behind the shroud of blinding light, doubt not but that the stars shine still.
|
I have chosen to avail myself of their guidance, that I might navigate the sea of uncertainty that stretcheth before us. For a blessing, my prior studies of astrology did provide me with adequate grounding in the art.
|
|
Did I...lose weight? If 'tis of flesh thou speakest, I cannot rightly say. However, in taking up astrology, I may have shed with some yalms of fabric. My present attire better suiteth the art.

|
|
Come now, 'tis scarce the first time thou hast beheld these fair features. Lest thou wonderest, I have taken up astrology. My present attire better suiteth the art.

|
|
But enough of myself. Let us now speak of our task.
|
As I did mention, if we are to enter Lyhe Ghiah, we must needs gain the pixies' cooperation.
|
This is a simple matter of presenting unto them a suitable gift.
|
I shall procure a selection of viands that shall please their palates. Thancred, pray assist me in this endeavor.
|
Meanwhile, Forename, I bid thee obtain that which will please their eyes. In these parts, there abideth a vilekin known for its beauteous wings: the hawker. I shall lend thee a receptacle within which thou mayest capture a weakened specimen.
|
There's no avoiding chores, is there? Far better under Urianger than the pixies, of course.
|
Thou shouldst find a hawker nearby. Pray use the receptacle I have lent thee to capture a weakened specimen.
|
Thou art returned. Wert thou able to capture a hawker?
|
Ah, a truly magnificent set of wings. I shall treat them at once to make fast their vibrant colors.
|
Thancred too should return anon, upon which I shall ready all the items for presentation. Pray take thine ease meanwhile.
|
You couldn't have returned at a better time. The pixies had just decided that it would be amusing to have Alisaie and I exchange outfits...
|
Ahaha, thank the gods you arrived when you did! Any later, and I don't think I would've been able to live it down!
|
When you have a moment, be sure to show your appreciation to the twins. They've endured a great deal on our behalf...
|
I dare not ask what happened in our absence...
|
As much as I should like to savor the reunion with Master Alphinaud and Mistress Alisaie, it must wait. I have taken the liberty of presenting our gifts unto the pixies; let us see how well they are received.
|
We weren't expecting you all back so soon. We had scarcely begun playing with the twins...
|
That said, your gifts are truly wonderful! Let me tell you, the milk and honey and biscuits won't last a day, and the wings are the loveliest we've ever seen!
|
You've done us a great kindness, and it's fae custom to return the gesture. If you desire anything of us, you need but name it!
