Hmm. This could fairly be described as a predicament.[ST:n ]But what to do about it?[ST:wait ] |
| 2 |
|
qev055601_MSG0002 |
I simply cannot understand her motives.[ST:n ]Why would anyone intentionally travel to such a[ST:n ]dangerous place?[ST:wait ] |

|
qev055601_JNK0010 |
Query |
| 4 |
|
qev055601_SEL0011 |
Ask Nan'celeg what happened. |
| 5 |
|
qev055601_JNK0020 |
Comfort |
| 6 |
|
qev055601_SEL0021 |
Tell Nan'celeg that you're happy[ST:n ]to listen to his worries. |
| 7 |
|
qev055601_MSG0003 |
My division, Nen'celeg, has left the city.[ST:wait ] |
| 8 |
|
qev055601_MSG0004 |
Bound for Noctilum, it seems.[ST:wait ] |
| 9 |
|
qev055601_MSG0005 |
As for why she would head to a place filled with such[ST:n ]awful creatures, I have absolutely no idea.[ST:wait ] |
| 10 |
|
qev055601_MSG0006 |
And yet I feel incapable of simply letting her go.[ST:wait ] |
| 11 |
|
qev055601_MSG0007 |
I see. Then this inscrutable emotional state is what you[ST:n ]humans call \"worry.\"[ST:wait ] |
| 12 |
|
qev055601_MSG0008 |
I have good reason to worry, it would seem.[ST:n ]My division, Nen'celeg, has left the city.[ST:wait ] |
| 13 |
|
qev055601_MSG0009 |
She is apparently bound for Noctilum.[ST:wait ] |
| 14 |
|
qev055601_MSG0010 |
As for why she would head to a place filled with such[ST:n ]awful creatures, I have absolutely no idea.[ST:wait ] |
| 15 |
|
qev055601_MSG0011 |
I find the very concept as difficult to comprehend as this[ST:n ]new emotion of \"worry.\"[ST:wait ] |
| 16 |
|
qev055601_MSG0012 |
I feel compelled to go forth and bring her back,[ST:n ]but I am a poor candidate to do so.[ST:wait ] |
| 17 |
|
qev055601_MSG0013 |
Compared to the vicious wildlife of Mira,[ST:n ]the Orphe are poor combatants indeed.[ST:wait ] |
| 18 |
|
qev055601_MSG0014 |
Might I ask you to go after her in my stead?[ST:wait ] |
| 19 |
|
qev055601_MSG0015 |
You humans are an extremely active and combative[ST:n ]species.[ST:wait ] |
| 20 |
|
qev055601_MSG0016 |
I say that with a deep sense of what you humans call[ST:n ]gratitude.[ST:wait ] |
| 21 |
|
qev055601_MSG0017 |
Oh, and please take care that you are not injured.[ST:wait ] |
| 22 |
|
qev055601_MSG0018 |
Though if you are injured somewhat in the course of[ST:n ]escorting my division, that is acceptable.[ST:wait ] |
| 23 |
|
qev055601_MSG0019 |
I believe your kind call that a \"trade-off.\"[ST:n ]Best of luck.[ST:wait ] |
| 24 |
|
qev055601_JNK0030 |
Accept |
| 25 |
|
qev055601_SEL0031 |
Tell Nan'celeg that he can leave it to you. |
| 26 |
|
qev055601_JNK0040 |
Chide |
| 27 |
|
qev055601_SEL0041 |
Tell Nan'celeg that's a cold way of asking a favor. |
| 28 |
|
qev055601_MSG0020 |
Your attitude is most generous. That is the term you use[ST:n ]when describing someone who gives of themselves for[ST:n ]another, yes? Generous?[ST:wait ] |
| 29 |
|
qev055601_MSG0021 |
I wish you luck. Please bring my division back swiftly.[ST:wait ] |
| 30 |
|
qev055601_MSG0022 |
I have heard of this. Humans sense temperature in[ST:n ]modes of phrasing, do they not?[ST:wait ] |
| 31 |
|
qev055601_MSG0023 |
I will endeavor to use only the hottest of phrasings[ST:n ]in the future.[ST:wait ] |
| 32 |
|
qev055601_MSG0024 |
This should yield the greatest motivation in your kind.[ST:n ]Now then... *ahem*[ST:wait ] |
| 33 |
|
qev055601_MSG0025 |
IT IS ALL ON YOU, [ST:Gender p1=BRO p2=GIRL ]! YOU ARE THE BEST![ST:n ]BRING NEN'CELEG HOME AND YOU WILL BE A[ST:n ]LEGEND FOREVER! OH YES, [ST:Gender p1=BRO p2=GIRL ]![ST:wait ] |
| 34 |
|
qev055601_MSG0026 |
...I assume you are sufficiently motivated now.[ST:n ]Please begin.[ST:wait ] |
| 35 |
|
qev055601_MSG0027 |
Please bring home my division, Nen'celeg.[ST:wait ] |
| 36 |
|
qev055601_MSG0028 |
Nen'celeg is safe, then. That is a relief.[ST:wait ] |
| 37 |
|
qev055601_JNK0050 |
Query |
| 38 |
|
qev055601_SEL0051 |
Ask Nan'celeg if he understands[ST:n ]\"relief\" better than \"worry.\" |
| 39 |
|
qev055601_JNK0060 |
Raise Eyebrows |
| 40 |
|
qev055601_SEL0061 |
Express surprise that he remembered. |
| 41 |
|
qev055601_MSG0029 |
It is both the absence of worry, and its own emotional[ST:n ]state at the same time.[ST:wait ] |
| 42 |
|
qev055601_MSG0030 |
I must say, all these fluctuations in psyche are most[ST:n ]illogical.[ST:wait ] |
| 43 |
|
qev055601_MSG0031 |
Provided a supply of senirapa water, Nen'celeg's death[ST:n ]would present only a minor inconvenience.[ST:wait ] |
| 44 |
|
qev055601_MSG0032 |
The Orphe's numbers would continue to grow just the[ST:n ]same.[ST:wait ] |
| 45 |
|
qev055601_MSG0033 |
I could never forget.[ST:n ]Nen'celeg is one of us.[ST:wait ] |
| 46 |
|
qev055601_MSG0034 |
In her absence, I was struck with a strange fluctuation[ST:n ]in my emotional state.[ST:wait ] |
| 47 |
|
qev055601_MSG0035 |
Which is most strange, on further reflection.[ST:n ]Provided a supply of senirapa water, Nen'celeg's death[ST:n ]would present only a minor inconvenience.[ST:wait ] |
| 48 |
|
qev055601_MSG0036 |
Perhaps I have dedicated excessive thought to[ST:n ]Nen'celeg's future.[ST:wait ] |
| 49 |
|
qev055601_MSG0037 |
Were you lonely with me gone?[ST:wait ] |
| 50 |
|
qev055601_MSG0038 |
Lonely? What is that?[ST:wait ] |
| 51 |
|
qev055601_MSG0039 |
Why would your absence cause me to feel...lonely?[ST:wait ] |
| 52 |
|
qev055601_JNK0070 |
Observe |
| 53 |
|
qev055601_SEL0071 |
Say that it's because Nan'celeg is in love. |
| 54 |
|
qev055601_JNK0080 |
Suggest |
| 55 |
|
qev055601_SEL0081 |
Say that it's because Nen'celeg is a rare mutation. |
| 56 |
|
qev055601_MSG0040 |
Love? The phenomenon of attraction is exclusive to[ST:n ]species with distinct sexes.[ST:wait ] |
| 57 |
|
qev055601_MSG0041 |
The Orphe have no such distinction, so there should be[ST:n ]no way that I would feel...[ST:wait ] |
| 58 |
|
qev055601_MSG0042 |
Hmm. Yet I DO find Nen'celeg's appearance pleasing.[ST:n ]Almost...beautiful, as a human might say.[ST:wait ] |
| 59 |
|
qev055601_MSG0043 |
Is this attraction, then?[ST:wait ] |
| 60 |
|
qev055601_MSG0044 |
Nen'celeg? Am I attracted to you?[ST:wait ] |
| 61 |
|
qev055601_MSG0045 |
Ask yourself that question! Species that experience love[ST:n ]call people like you dense.[ST:wait ] |
| 62 |
|
qev055601_MSG0046 |
My density is comparable to most of the city's residents.[ST:n ]...Ah, wait. You mean slow-witted, then?[ST:n ]But I am comparatively intelligent. Most strange...[ST:wait ] |
| 63 |
|
qev055601_MSG0049 |
That does make sense. But what is this strange array of[ST:n ]feelings I am experiencing?[ST:wait ] |
| 64 |
|
qev055601_MSG0050 |
When I look at Nen'celeg, I find the sight pleasing.[ST:n ]Almost...beautiful, as a human might say.[ST:wait ] |
| 65 |
|
qev055601_MSG0051 |
It sounds as if you like me.[ST:wait ] |
| 66 |
|
qev055601_MSG0052 |
Like? ...Like. Do I like you, Nen'celeg?[ST:wait ] |
| 67 |
|
qev055601_MSG0053 |
You do not know the answer for yourself?[ST:n ]Other species call people like you naive.[ST:wait ] |
| 68 |
|
qev055601_MSG0054 |
Naive? What a strange thing to say...[ST:wait ] |
| 69 |
|
qev055601_MSG0055 |
It is quite apparent that despite the Orphe's[ST:n ]considerable intelligence, some things remain[ST:n ]inscrutable.[ST:wait ] |
| 70 |
|
qev055601_MSG0056 |
I do not understand my feelings for Nen'celeg.[ST:n ]But why not?[ST:wait ] |
| 71 |
|
qev055601_MSG0057 |
Because you are naive.[ST:wait ] |
| 72 |
|
qev055601_MSG0058 |
Ah, I do not understand![ST:n ]Grant me guidance, Ovah![ST:wait ] |
