Dialogue
Quest DescriptionIt is said that Lepine-Pauline has developed a groundbreaking new lens. But why does her apprentice Ninette look on the verge of tears?
- (Approach Ninette)
-
- (Ninette notices the Traveler and Paimon passing by her stall at some distance)
- Ninette: (...Could they be the ones Master mentioned? The golden-haired traveler, and that flying fairy dressed in white...)
- (The Traveler and Paimon notice and approach Ninette)
- Paimon: Huh? Why are you staring at us and muttering like that? Is there something weird on our faces?
- Ninette: Ah! M—My apologies! I didn't mean to! I just... I just thought...
There's no rush. Please, take your time.- Do I know you?
- Ninette: I... I'm Ninette, and my master is Lepine-Pauline. She told me about you... said you're the legendary adventurer (Traveler), and that you travel with your best companion, Paimon!
- Ninette: I... I never imagined I'd really get to see you in person...
- Paimon: Oh! So you're Lepine-Pauline's apprentice! Guess her business has really been booming lately, huh?
- Ninette: Yes! And it's all thanks to her that I was able to get back on my feet after a really hard time.
- Did something happen?
- Ninette: I used to study photography under another teacher.
- Ninette: I wanted to make it on my own someday, so I spent all my savings on the best Kamera equipment I could afford.
- Ninette: My teacher said my skills weren't bad, and I really believed that if I just took good photos, I'd be able to make a living.
- Ninette: But... when I actually went out on the streets and saw people, I got so nervous that I couldn't get a single word out.
- Ninette: Every time I tried to say, "Hello, would you like a photo?", the words just got stuck in my throat.
- Ninette: In the end, everyone just went to the photographers who were friendlier and better at talking to people.
- Ninette: Before I knew it, I'd almost run out of Mora... and I even thought about selling my Kamera just to get by...
- That must've been really hard.
- Ninette: It was right then that I met Master Lepine-Pauline.
- Ninette: When she saw my equipment and the photos I'd taken, she encouraged me and had me work with her to test a new lens.
- Ninette: She said there was a calm, gentle quality in my photos... something she didn't see in anyone else's.
- Ninette: So when Master finally finished developing the Shutterflash lens, I was really happy! Probably even more than she was!
- Paimon: The Shutterflash lens? What kind of lens is that?
- Ninette: It captures every movement and expression perfectly, even when the subject's moving really fast!
- Ninette: But... it's still in the final testing phase, so we need to take a lot of real-world photos to gather data and make sure it works properly.
- Ninette: Since Master's been tied up with other work, she handed this task to me. I was thinking I could try finding a few people to help with the testing...
- Ninette: But... it happened again. Whenever I tried to talk to someone I didn't know, I got all flustered and couldn't make any sense...
- Ninette: Everyone just looked at me kind of confused... they probably thought I was acting suspicious or something. A few days went by, and I still couldn't find anyone willing to help.
- Ninette: *sobbing*... I couldn't even handle something this easy... I guess I really am hopeless...
- Paimon: Hey, hey, don't cry! It's really not your fault, okay?
- Paimon: Really, asking strangers for help like that is hard for anyone!
- Don't beat yourself up over it. You've already tried your best.
- In that case... maybe we could lend a hand.
- Paimon: Uh-huh! (Traveler)'s got great photo skills! And (he/
she) knows tons of people all over the place, so getting models should be super easy! - Ninette: R—Really? You'd actually help me?
- Ninette: W—Whoa! Thank you so, so much, (Traveler)!
- Ninette: Then... please take this special Kamera with the Shutterflash lens. I'll be counting on you to handle it!
- Ninette: Please take some photos of your friends. Try to capture their most natural, expressive moments!
