- Grenoldt has good tidings to share.
- With what can only be described as a “shite-eating grin,” Grenoldt informs you of the great strides he and Chora-Zoi have made with the splendorous tools in your absence. Summoned to Eulmore to discuss the Boutique's next steps, you are greeted by crowds of skilled artisans...as well as a rogue ironfrog mover belonging to Qeshi-Trao, a trusted associate of Mowen's. During your dealings, Mowen gleefully approves another round of enhancements, and nominates Chora-Zoi as the tools' new namesake. Mowen is well aware of the young smith's apprehension, however, and requests a word with you before the next phase of the project begins in earnest.
- You approach Mowen, who remains starstruck from Grenoldt's encounter with Qeshi-Trao's ironfrog. Nonetheless, she is pleased to have your enduring support, and asks that you and Grenoldt lend the same kindness to Chora-Zoi. Her main matter of business completed, Mowen mentions that the two skilled smiths in question have returned to the Crystarium, and suggests that you follow suit.
- You return to the Crystarium to find Grenoldt and Chora-Zoi reflecting on their brief excursion─Mowen has great expectations, but a distraught Chora-Zoi wonders if she can truly meet such lofty standards. With a few fiery words of encouragement, however, Grenoldt rallies you all for the Boutique's newest challenge, and the forges are stoked for a project of brilliant proportions.
A sight for sore eyes as ever, Forename. Splendorous tools treatin' ye well, I hope?
Ye might be be pleased to know that our work's payin' off, an' linin' Mistress Mowen's coffers besides. With the schematics o' the tools finalized, we forged a fresh batch for the Boutique, an' I'm told our first shipment sold like “hot coffee biscuits” or summat.

Truly, Master Grenoldt!? Why, that's wonderful news! I put my heart into every strike of the anvil, of course, but I was rather worried that the quality of my work might suffer when we began mass production.

You heard the man─coffee biscuits! Hot coffee biscuits!
Honest work deserves honest praise.
|
Your encouragement is much appreciated, Forename. I really must take more pride in my work...and so should you, considering how much you've contributed to this endeavor!
|
Your tools are masterworks in their own right, Miss Chora-Zoi. It is only natural that they are lauded as such.
Our patrons have naught but praise for what you have wrought. Word of the tools' adaptive nature has spread through Eulmore like wildfire, and connoisseurs from all over Norvrandt are lining up in droves to inquire about our next shipment.
In fact, Mistress Mowen has requested your presence in Eulmore to discuss further business opportunities. 'Twould seem she has a mind to introduce you to one of our most influential patrons...
|
Wicked white! Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd be invited to Eulmore, of all places. It's an honor─really, it is─but are you quite sure she wants me there?
|
Mistress Mowen's a sharp one, lass. Long as I've known her, she hasn't once steered me wrong. If she means for us to take part in the next step o' her grand designs, I reckon we oblige her.
|
Obliging her is perfectly fine, but the thought of it still makes me as twitchy as a Mord's tail! If we really are going, I'd feel a little less out of place if our friend the Warrior of Darkness accompanied us... What do you say, Forename?

Cutscene start.

Cutscene end.

Our dear Grenoldt is quite chivalrous, is he not? Standing steadfast in the face of amphibious disaster... <sigh> 'Tis an image I shan't soon forget.
But I did not request your presence simply to swoon, you understand. Your attendance at our dealings today was most appreciated.
I realize the proposal to rebrand our tools was a shock to Miss Chora-Zoi, but I felt it necessary for her growth. Her ideas are a boon to us all, and she must learn to take pride in the great success she has forged with you and Grenoldt─to feel like these works are truly hers.
Knowing Grenoldt as I do, I am certain he will be eager to lend his aid, but what of you? Ours is not easy work, but will you join with us and lend your support to Chora-Zoi once more?
Excellent! You have my deepest gratitude, Forename. Fostering connections and collaborations to build a better Norvrandt is the true mission of the Boutique, after all, and we would be honored to have your assistance.
If I'm not mistaken, Grenoldt and Miss Chora-Zoi have already departed for the Crystarium. Send them my regards, won't you?
|
I can't remember the last time I set foot in Eulmore. Couldn't even be arsed to visit the place when I lived a stone's throw away... Then again, it was a right pain to come and go anywhere from me underwater sanctuary.
But enough o' me mindless blabberin'. How'd ye find the trip, Miss Chora-Zoi? Feelin' refreshed after some time away from the Mean?
|
...I think I might be the opposite of refreshed, actually. I was so shaken up by the whole experience, I could hardly enjoy it at all!
It was very kind of Mistress Mowen to suggest naming our next tools after me, and I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but I haven't the skills to become the “beacon of hope” she thinks I am! What in the world am I to do, Master Grenoldt!?
|
Hah, easy now, lass! The first thing ye'll want to do is take a deep breath and some time to calm yerself. Whether ye think so or not, ye do have the skills, an' no matter which way ye feel like takin' this on, we'll be right there with ye.
That bein' said, Forename, we're countin' on yer support. Together, we'll forge up summat as'll make the whole bloody realm want to take up a trade!
