Dialogue
An Exasperating Prank
Quest DescriptionYou know that it might not be fruitful even if you pursue it to the end, so you decide to forget about the Wisdom Seelie's prank and watch over Layla as she rests.
- Layla: Let's stop here... I don't think I can walk any further...
I'll prepare some food and juice.- Layla: Alright, I'm gonna give my legs a rest. I'll be waiting for you here.
- Layla: I feel bad for making you go through so much trouble for me. If only I were more capable...
- No, you shouldn't say that.
- We're all skilled at different things.
- Layla: I'm sorry... *sigh* I always find myself having to apologize.
- Layla: But enough of that, I need to pull myself together. The memories I've been reminded of are all really taxing.
- Layla: I cannot just give up this time, even if my head's not in a good place. Letting these heavy feelings get the best of me will only slow us down.
- Layla: Ahh, watch out! Behind you!
- What's wrong?
- Layla: Monsters! A lot of them, too... Why didn't we see them coming?
- Just leave it to me, it'll only take a moment.
- Layla: No, I'll fight, too.
- You need to rest.
- Layla: But I want to help, I can't just sit back and watch you while you fight. Don't worry, I can handle myself.
- Layla: I mustn't keep repeating my past regrets. That's the most valuable lesson I've learned today.
- Layla: I should take action when I'm needed and give it my all when the moment calls.
- Layla: If you miss those opportunities in life, you may never get another chance to make up for them. I suppose that's fate.
- I see.
- Layla: Alright, let's take them all down.
- (Defeat the attacking monsters)
- (Talk to Layla)
- Layla: *panting* ...I really need to keep up with my training.
- Layla: It's embarrassing to be out of breath so quickly like this...
- Are you alright?
- You look pale.
- Layla: Well, the only appropriate response would be to say that I'm fine, right? I'm pale due to lack of sleep, not because of the fight...
- Layla: But then again, I know you'd be able to see right through those words... I'm feeling weak, there's no hiding it.
- Layla: I'm just happy I didn't get in your way during the fight...
- You did great.
- (Stress Value −1)
- Layla: Oh, hehe... thanks for the compliment. I sure don't get to hear that often.
- Layla: Although I may not be physically strong, my will is as resilient as they come. I'll be fine after I rest for a bit.
- Layla: Can you stay with me while I recover my energy? It shouldn't take long.

| Despite her incredibly weak disposition, she still chose to make a stand. Perhaps she wanted to prove a point, or perhaps she didn't want to leave regrets... | |
