Dialogue

Festival of the Four Winds 2014

I like what I'm seeing. The Zephyrites' approach to magic is unique, as in their attitude. Not so fond of what I'm hearing, though: I predict the "alas, alas" song is going to get on my nerves."

You get used to it. How are you getting along with Jory and Kas?

Kasmeer is nice-like the big sister I never had. She never gets mad. Marjory does, though, so she's a bit of a bully...like the big sister I never had. Getting around her is a rewarding challenge.

Just remember they're both on your side.

So what's next for you and Scruffy?

Not sitting on the sidelines in some smelly old Vigil camp, that's for sure. The next time this little band of ours goes on an adventure, Scruffy and I are going to be there.

I pity anyone who tries to stop you.

How are you feeling?

Thank you for asking. My legs are good today discomfortwise[sic], but I can't get complacent: my mobility is capricious, changing from one hour to the next. Luckily, Scruffy is always standing by.

Glad to hear it.

Good-bye.

Ambient dialogue

Festival of the Four Winds 2014

At Bazaar Docks

Primary article: Bazaar Docks/dialogue#Festival of the Four Winds 2014

Taimi: Log entry, Scruffy. I routinely employ cuteness as a tool and/or weapon, but baby dolyaks take it to the next level.

Taimi: That must be why my race predictions were off. And why there are more people here than the organizers anticipated.

Taimi: If Captain Shud organized things instead of that bookah Kiel, the festival would be running with clockwork precision.

Taimi: Still, it is pretty near to see everyone come together. The money to rebuild Lion's Arch won't raise itself.

Taimi: Log entry, Scruffy. I'm getting some curious readings from these crates.

Taimi: The dock master said the Zephyrites were taking on more cargo. I can't determine what it is, though.

Taimi: What is clear is that the Zephyrites are genuine in their desire to help, but they're eager to get where they're going.

Taimi: My prediction is that it'll be a long trip. I wonder where their final destination is?

Taimi: Hello again! Are you two enjoying yourselves as much as I am? I bet you are. I've never seen Kasmeer looking so...rosy.

Marjory Delaqua: Yes, well...that's what the sun does to her. She needs a wide-brimmed hat or she'll turn redder than an angry hylek.

Kasmeer Meade: Nonsense! Sunshine is good for human skin...in moderation. I haven't had a proper sunbathing session since Southsun Cove.

Taimi: Hmm. You bookahs worry too much about external appearances. It's what's inside your skull that counts.

Kasmeer Meade: So, Taimi, what have you been up to? Is there anything fun happening at the sky docks?

Taimi: Not really. Just a bunch of people being dolyaks and racing around. I can't participate so I opted out.

Kasmeer Meade: I'm so sorry, Taimi. It does sound like fun, though. Would it bother you if Jory and I gave it a try?

Marjory Delaqua: Oh, no. Nix to that, cupcake. There's no way I'm making cute baby dolyak noises in public. Goes against my image.

Kasmeer Meade: Aww! That means I won't get to scratch you behind your shaggy little ears.

Marjory Delaqua: Life is full of little disappointments, darling. This is one of 'em.

Taimi: (laugh) "Shaggy little ears." (laugh)

Marjory Delaqua: I'd like to propose a toast. With family-friendly beverages, of course.

Taimi: A toast, eh? Vorpp mentioned that once but wouldn't elaborate. What is it, exactly?

Kasmeer Meade: It's an adult custom, kind of like a salute. We all raise a glass and drink to honor someone or something important.

Marjory Delaqua: In this case, to new friendships. They've already endured a lot, and may they continue to do so, come what may.

Kasmeer Meade: Hear, hear! Or as Lord Faren might say, "I'll drink to that!""

Taimi: Okay, I don't have a fop to quote, so I'll just toast in my own words." (ahem) "On behalf of myself and Scruffy, I approve.

Marjory Delaqua: Taimi, what's the problem? It's bad luck and bad manners to toast and then not drink.

Taimi: This stuff is too...fizzy. It tickles my nose.

Kasmeer Meade: (laugh) "It is a rather unusual concoction, isn't it? But the more I drink it, the more I like it!

Marjory Delaqua: I understand the hylek barkeep is using Zephyrite crystals to make it fizz.

Taimi: Really? Zephyrite magic? That changes everything. Here's to fizz in your nose!

Marjory Delaqua: Hmm. And a minute ago, you claimed not to know what a toast was. I guess asura really do learn fast.
