Please leave me be. I am in no mood for company.[ST:wait ] |
| 2 |
|
qev050901_MSG0002 |
...Is there something on my mind? Yes, obviously.[ST:n ]Day-to-day life presents us all with a few hundred[ST:n ]worries to fret over.[ST:wait ] |
| 3 |
|
qev050901_MSG0003 |
...You say that's too many? Preposterous.[ST:n ]If you include the little things, everyone should have[ST:n ]at least that many.[ST:wait ] |
| 4 |
|
qev050901_MSG0004 |
Though in my case, I have no time to spare on little[ST:n ]things when the big ones loom before me like a vast,[ST:n ]insurmountable wall.[ST:wait ] |
| 5 |
|
qev050901_MSG0005 |
But perhaps there is some meaning to us meeting here.[ST:n ]Will you do me a favor?[ST:wait ] |
| 6 |
|
qev050901_MSG0006 |
I need a knife. Will you procure one for me?[ST:wait ] |
| 7 |
|
qev050901_MSG0007 |
Any cheap thing will do, but it is absolutely necessary[ST:n ]if I am to find success in the coming days.[ST:wait ] |
| 8 |
|
qev050901_MSG0008 |
And yes, I know that I could buy a knife from one[ST:n ]of the arms manufacturers.[ST:wait ] |
| 9 |
|
qev050901_MSG0009 |
Except...[ST:wait ] |
| 10 |
|
qev050901_MSG0010 |
Except that I cannot make sense of your human[ST:n ]shopping terminal, and could not hope to complete[ST:n ]even the simplest of transactions with it.[ST:wait ] |
| 11 |
|
qev050901_MSG0011 |
You are my last hope, human. Please![ST:wait ] |
| 12 |
|
qev050901_JNK0010 |
Accept |
| 13 |
|
qev050901_SEL0011 |
Agree to bring Gu Ladha a knife. |

Suggest |
| 15 |
|
qev050901_SEL0021 |
Ask Gu Ladha if she would not rather have a gun. |
| 16 |
|
qev050901_MSG0012 |
I am sorry to ask—not to mention humiliated for[ST:n ]relying on a total stranger like this.[ST:wait ] |
| 17 |
|
qev050901_MSG0013 |
I have always been terrible at things like shopping or[ST:n ]finding locations based on directions.[ST:wait ] |
| 18 |
|
qev050901_MSG0014 |
A gun? Never! No, no, no. It's far too painful.[ST:wait ] |
| 19 |
|
qev050901_MSG0015 |
Just think of how it must feel to be shot with one of[ST:n ]those! Far worse than a little cut from a knife,[ST:n ]no doubt. And the noise![ST:wait ] |
| 20 |
|
qev050901_MSG0016 |
Suffice it to say that I have no love of guns.[ST:n ]A simple knife is all I require, if it please you.[ST:wait ] |
| 21 |
|
qev050901_MSG0017 |
I shall wait here. Indefinitely, if needs be.[ST:wait ] |
| 22 |
|
qev050901_MSG0018 |
I rather like this place. It is quiet and...peaceful.[ST:wait ] |
| 23 |
|
qev050901_MSG0019 |
In any case, I thank you for your help.[ST:wait ] |
| 24 |
|
qev050901_MSG0020 |
I find this place quite comfortable—hardly anyone ever[ST:n ]comes here.[ST:wait ] |
| 25 |
|
qev050901_MSG0021 |
Thinking on it now, our chance meeting here seems[ST:n ]against all odds. A tiny miracle.[ST:wait ] |
| 26 |
|
qev050901_MSG0022 |
I am mortified to waste such a fated meeting requesting[ST:n ]so meager a favor, but such is life.[ST:wait ] |
| 27 |
|
qev050901_MSG0023 |
I appreciate you finding me a knife just the same.[ST:wait ] |
| 28 |
|
qev050901_MSG0024 |
Ah, you return.[ST:wait ] |
| 29 |
|
qev050901_MSG0025 |
I was just stewing in my shame at the presumption of[ST:n ]asking for help in such a personal matter.[ST:wait ] |
| 30 |
|
qev050901_MSG0026 |
...Have you the knife, perchance?[ST:wait ] |
| 31 |
|
qev050901_MSG0027 |
Many thanks. I apologize again for the trouble.[ST:wait ] |
| 32 |
|
qev050901_MSG0028 |
Now I can finally begin what I set out to do...[ST:wait ] |
| 33 |
|
qev050901_MSG0029 |
It is time... Time for my ears to come off![ST:wait ] |
| 34 |
|
qev050901_JNK0030 |
Restrain |
| 35 |
|
qev050901_SEL0031 |
Grab Gu Ladha's knife hand and hold it in place. |
| 36 |
|
qev050901_JNK0040 |
Shout |
| 37 |
|
qev050901_SEL0041 |
Scream at Gu Ladha to stop. |
| 38 |
|
qev050901_MSG0030 |
...Hrm?! No! Wh-what are you doing?![ST:wait ] |
| 39 |
|
qev050901_MSG0031 |
Why are you interfering? This is my business,[ST:n ]and my mind is set![ST:wait ] |
| 40 |
|
qev050901_MSG0032 |
Ow! Ow ow OW! All right! Enough![ST:wait ] |
| 41 |
|
qev050901_MSG0033 |
Honestly, did you have to use force?[ST:n ]It seems a little extreme...[ST:wait ] |
| 42 |
|
qev050901_MSG0034 |
But very well. I shall put down the knife.[ST:n ]Just...let go of me.[ST:wait ] |
| 43 |
|
qev050901_MSG0035 |
There is nothing you can say to dissuade me![ST:wait ] |
| 44 |
|
qev050901_MSG0036 |
My mind is set! My resolve firm as any rock![ST:wait ] |
| 45 |
|
qev050901_MSG0037 |
...No one understands how I feel anyway.[ST:wait ] |
| 46 |
|
qev050901_MSG0038 |
I will cut these damnable ears from my head and be[ST:n ]reborn a woman to respect![ST:wait ] |
| 47 |
|
qev050901_MSG0039 |
These ears—these cute, round, fluffy ears—have plagued[ST:n ]me all my life. Damn the both of them![ST:wait ] |
| 48 |
|
qev050901_MSG0040 |
My kinsfolk mocked me for them relentlessly,[ST:n ]and fear of anyone seeing them gradually drove me[ST:n ]to reclusion. Lately, I am unable to face anyone.[ST:wait ] |
| 49 |
|
qev050901_MSG0041 |
Even on the field of battle, where the measure of a[ST:n ]Wrothian is taken, I was ever distracted by thoughts of[ST:n ]others seeing my ears.[ST:wait ] |
| 50 |
|
qev050901_MSG0042 |
Unable to train with others, my skills as a warrior have[ST:n ]been in steady decline.[ST:wait ] |
| 51 |
|
qev050901_MSG0043 |
They are more stigma than skin, human...[ST:n ]These ears are shackles that bind me fast.[ST:wait ] |

Train |
| 55 |
|
qev050901_SEL0061 |
Offer to give Gu Ladha special training. |
| 56 |
|
qev050901_MSG0044 |
Not the only way to live...?[ST:wait ] |
| 57 |
|
qev050901_MSG0045 |
Wrothians live only for glory. To fight and win and die[ST:n ]honorably in battle. But you say another way exists?[ST:wait ] |
| 58 |
|
qev050901_MSG0046 |
Though it is true that because of these ears,[ST:n ]earning glory and honor has never been a large[ST:n ]concern of mine.[ST:wait ] |
| 59 |
|
qev050901_MSG0047 |
I do wish to be of help to my people, but if you say[ST:n ]there are ways to do that besides waging war,[ST:n ]I would be eager to hear more.[ST:wait ] |

Support? Such as tending to the wounded and cookery[ST:n ]and...so forth?[ST:wait ] |
| 65 |

qev050901_MSG0049 |
Important work, to be sure, but...[ST:wait ] |

qev050901_MSG0050 |
Well, not to boast, but my cooking is legendarily bad.[ST:wait ] |
| 67 |

I fear that if I manned the camp mess,[ST:n ]effects on morale would be anything but positive.[ST:wait ] |

qev050901_MSG0052 |
Giving speeches on street corners and the like?[ST:wait ] |
| 70 |

qev050901_MSG0053 |
I suppose that sort of thing may play an important role[ST:n ]in fostering good relations between our various races.[ST:wait ] |
| 71 |

qev050901_MSG0054 |
But... Well, not to brag, but my shyness is nothing[ST:n ]short of legendary.[ST:wait ] |

qev050901_MSG0055 |
I fear I would do more harm to the cause than good.[ST:wait ] |

Hmm, but wait. What about a liaison?[ST:wait ] |
| 74 |
|
qev050901_MSG0057 |
I seem to have success in my dealings with humans.[ST:n ]Human women, especially, seem drawn to me.[ST:n ]Or to my ears, to be precise.[ST:wait ] |
| 75 |
|
qev050901_MSG0058 |
Yes... It seems so simple now! If I put my mind to[ST:n ]using this trait instead of running from it, a world[ST:n ]of new possibilities may open up![ST:wait ] |
| 76 |
|
qev050901_MSG0059 |
It's certainly worth a try.[ST:wait ] |
| 77 |
|
qev050901_MSG0060 |
I shall begin by requesting to my commander that I be[ST:n ]appointed as a Wrothian-human liaison![ST:wait ] |
| 78 |
|
qev050901_MSG0061 |
It pains me to trouble you further, but could I ask you[ST:n ]to accompany me? Just to vouch for my qualifications?[ST:wait ] |
| 79 |
|
qev050901_MSG0062 |
I feel confident that your opinion as a human will be[ST:n ]enough to win him over.[ST:wait ] |

qev050901_MSG0063 |
Special training?[ST:wait ] |
| 81 |
|
qev050901_MSG0064 |
Yes, I suppose I have allowed my...anxieties over my[ST:n ]ears to overwhelm me. I have grown meek.[ST:wait ] |
| 82 |
|
qev050901_MSG0065 |
It might do me good to forget all of that and lose[ST:n ]myself in training.[ST:wait ] |
| 83 |
|
qev050901_MSG0066 |
Very well. If it is not too much of an imposition,[ST:n ]I will take you up on your generous offer.[ST:wait ] |
| 84 |
|
qev050901_MSG0067 |
I shall make my preparations and meet you outside of[ST:n ]the city.[ST:wait ] |
| 85 |
|
qev050901_MSG0068 |
I ask that you join me there once you are ready.[ST:wait ] |
| 86 |
|
qev050901_MSG0069 |
I have made up my mind. If I am to do this, I will do it[ST:n ]right. A thorough retraining from the foundation up.[ST:wait ] |
| 87 |

qev050901_MSG0070 |
I will see you outside. Farewell![ST:wait ] |
