1 qst701101_msg0001 84 Hello, young lady. The name's Arb, and I'm a shipwright by trade. Though currently in the midst of moving...
2 qst701101_msg0002 84 Sorry to accost you, but do you know much about ships? My apprentice could use a hand with one he's making now.
3 qst701101_msg0003 84 A ship, you say? I have to say I haven't a clue, but we'd love to help if we could...
4 qst701101_msg0004 84 Hahah, you are as much a lifesaver as people say, then. But tell me, what do you expect from the future?
5 qst701101_msg0005 84 Huh? I, er, I haven't really given it much thought... Why do you ask?
6 qst701101_msg0006 84 Because a person's destiny can change, depending on what they choose to fixate on. What they choose to value.
7 qst701101_msg0007 84 Uh... I'm not really sure where you're going with this...
8 qst701101_msg0008 84 You're suggesting that our compulsions may do more than bring us happiness or prosperity?
9 qst701101_msg0009 84 If one were to be fixated on a remote past which cannot be changed, what a sad life they would lead...
10 qst701101_msg0010 84 Their sadness would only beget further sadness...
11 qst701101_msg0011 84 Hohoho... What a curious mind you have, sir.
12 qst701101_msg0012 84 Where's this from all of a sudden? I thought your head was full of Hugo, Hugo, Hugo.
13 qst701101_msg0013 84 Hrm. His Majesty is everything to me. But that's subtly different from a "compulsion"...
14 qst701101_msg0014 84 That's right. I'd call it "devotion", if I had to call it anything.
15 qst701101_msg0015 84 I'd call it "overbearing", but to each their own...
16 qst701101_msg0016 84 Friends... We are getting sidetracked.
17 qst701101_msg0017 84 Yes, well, in any case, I'm very curious to see what fate has in store for you, young lady...
18 qst701101_msg0018 84 As for my apprentice, Aquin, he just returned to the residential district. Do pay him a visit if you're so inclined.
19 qst701101_msg0019 84 But in the midst of that, you mustn't forget whom you're helping, for what cause, and where it may lead you...
