Dialog
You must be our latest Daeva! What was your name again...your character, right?
You've caused quite a stir! The Seraphim Lords usually choose new Daevas with backgrounds less...colorful, I suppose, than yours.
Some Daevas cherish their lofty status but I'm not about to question the Seraphim Lords' judgment.
Dialog
True, true. Still, I can tell you're going to have to work extra hard to appease the stuffy aristocrats around here.
Now, please don't take this the wrong way, but...I've never met a mercenary before.
What's it like? I'm curious!
Dialog
Not Akarios, surely? What a small world we live in!
I used to visit the Daminu Forest regularly--to bathe beneath a waterfall there. A beautiful place, so serene compared to the hectic pace here in Sanctum.
But I gave up that serenity after one bad experience. Would you believe that someone stole my clothes one evening? What an outrage!
Ask Quest Accept
You're the one who found my clothes? I didn't get a chance to thank you!
I never did figure out who stole them in the first place, though. I shiver every time I think about it.
your character, since you found my clothes, do you think you could go back to Poeta and find out what happened? And it's a private matter to me, so use discretion please.
Quest Accept 1
Thank you! Your face is familiar to the people of Poeta, so you'll probably find the culprit faster than an outsider.
Ariel light your path, your character. Perhaps if you bring the thief to justice, I'll feel comfortable relaxing by the waterfall again.
Quest Refuse 1
I see. Are you afraid of slipping back into the mercenary lifestyle if you return to Poeta?
Oh, it doesn't matter. If you change your mind, come back and see me, your character.
Dialog
your character! It's really you!
I heard you became a Daeva and went to Sanctum! How are you?
Things haven't changed much since you left, I'm afraid. We're still trying to kick the Dukaki out of the forest.
Dialog
A clothing thief? Well, obviously you should turn yourself in, your character! I mean...you stole the clothes, didn't you?
What? D-Don't look at me like that! What are you suggesting?
I'm seeing someone else now, anyway! And I thought Seirenia forgot all about it...but I guess not, huh?
Dialog
Well, you could tell Seirenia that you investigated, but you couldn't find the culprit.
Or maybe you could tell her that it was a mercenary--a mercenary who was banished after his crimes were discovered. Yeah, that'd work!
Or, you could take one for the team--tell her you stole the clothes and apologize profusely. I don't care what you say. Just don't incriminate me!
Dialog
You've returned from Akarios Village!
Please, tell me what you learned! Did you discover the criminal? And did you...deal with the punishment issue?
Dialog
Namus the woodcutter...hmmm. Yes, I think I know him.
He was always snooping around the waterfall. I never thought he'd have the courage to approach, much less steal from me.
Now that I have his name, what should I do with him?
Dialog
Extenuating circumstances? What possible reason could someone have for stealing my clothes?
I think you're hiding the culprit, your character!
Dialog
That's too bad. You aren't hiding anything from me, are you, your character? I felt certain you would uncover the truth.
Not even a clue, huh?
Reward
How dare he steal from me! First thing tomorrow I'm traveling to Poeta and reporting that snivelling runt to the priest.
Spying on bathers, stealing clothes...I hate to think what else he's capable of!
Reward
The thief thought I was a nymph?! But that makes no sense!
I don't care if the thief read some fanciful fable in a badly written book. I'm no nymph and I'm certainly not going to fall in love with him if he steals my clothes!
I froze half to death getting back here, too! What idiots those Humans can be!
Reward
That's a pity. I suppose any leads have now gone cold. I'll just try to forget about the whole incident and move on, I suppose.
Well, thank you for investigating, your character.
Please, take this for your time.
Summary
Talk with Namus.
Decide what you wish to say to Seirenia and speak with her.
Get your reward from Seirenia.
After introducing yourself to Seirenia, it became apparent that you both had connections to Poeta. She mentioned that her clothes were once stolen there. You should speak to Namus and work out how to deal with this situation.
Complete
Seirenia asked you to find out who stole her clothes.
After confronting Namus, he pleaded with you not to tell Seirenia he was involved.
You pondered how best to answer Seirenia and eventually settled the situation with her.
