Dialogue

For previous dialogue: Captain Hao Luen/dialogue

Please do not think me rude, but I have much to do. Perhaps the Lionguard will be better able to aid you.

Good-bye.

After unlocking the Tracing the Tapestry achievement

Well, hello, Commander. What brings you to the Crow's Nest?

Weird question, but you're of Canthan heritage, right?

Yes, my family's been here in Kryta for centuries, but we're proud of our Canthan roots. I'm planning to visit as soon as I have the time. Why do you ask?

I'm looking for a piece of an old tapestry. You happen to have one?

That's...a surprising question. But yes, I do. It passed to me shortly before I became captain. It's been handed down from firstborn to firstborn for, well, I don't know how long...

(Tell him all Countes Danika zu Heltzer told you.)

A zu Heltzer? Hmm, well, I knew we were of noble blood, and they're about as noble as it gets. That would mean I'm a Kurzick, though. That's a new idea... You said you need my piece?

I need it to reunite the house.

I guess that's a noble enough cause... And with what you did for Lion's Arch, I trust you're on the up-and-up.

Thank you.

Here you are. Please be careful with it, and let me know how it all goes.

I will.

On second thought...

Veeery interesting...

Actually, never mind...

We'll talk later.

After receiving the piece of tapestry

It's hard to imagine a little piece of fabric reuniting an ancient house, but I'm curious to see how this goes. Please, don't lose it.

I won't. (ends conversation)

After completing the tapestry collection

Hello again, Commander. I understand your search for the tapestry ended happily.

Oh? Really?

Yes, I heard from Valeria, who is apparently a long-lost relation. We've already got a reunion planned.

I'm glad you've gained some family.

We'll speak later.
