UI Quest Quest Description

The Damselette is having a spot of trouble in the Silvermoon Hall...
(Approach Columbina)
Media:vo snwq101 5 columbina 01.ogg The Damselette: (‍Traveler‍), Paimon...
Media:vo snwq101 5 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: What's wrong, Columbina? You look like something's troubling you.
Media:vo snwq101 5 columbina 02.ogg The Damselette: Do you have any paint with you?
(A paint-covered kuuhenki pops out from behind The Damselette)
Maalaus: !!!
Media:vo snwq101 5 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Oh! You're... Maalaus, right?
Maalaus: ~!
Media:vo snwq101 5 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: In the mood for more painting, huh? Looks like you got most of the paint on yourself, though... How did that happen?
Media:vo snwq101 5 columbina 03.ogg The Damselette: Maalaus left for a bit and came back like this. I anticipate this paint will take quite some time to wash off.
Media:vo snwq101 5 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: Huh, maybe Maalaus ran into trouble while out searching for inspiration...
Media:vo snwq101 5 paimon 05.ogg Paimon: Still, this isn't a bad look at all. Very fitting for an artist!
Maalaus: ??
Media:vo snwq101 5 paimon 06.ogg Paimon: Oh, and about the paint... We just need to give Maalaus colorful things, right? Like last time?
Maalaus: ~~!
Media:vo snwq101 5 paimon 07.ogg Paimon: Hehe, now that's one happy kuuhenki. Maalaus must've hit on some really good ideas... Something fun and upbeat for sure!
Media:vo snwq101 5 paimon 08.ogg Paimon: Let's find some warm, happy colors this time!

Media:vo snwq101 5 paimon 13.ogg Paimon: Well, let's see here. Oh! Another drawing of Columbina. No surprise there!
Icon Dialogue Talk White It's beautiful.
Icon Dialogue Talk White Just looking at it makes me feel happy.
Media:vo snwq101 5 paimon 14.ogg Paimon: Is that... a forest somewhere in Nod-Krai? There are so many little animals!
Media:vo snwq101 5 columbina 04.ogg The Damselette: I'm afraid... you would have to go back to the time before I left the Frostmoon Scions to see a scene like this.
Media:vo snwq101 5 paimon 15.ogg Paimon: Wow, Paimon's so jealous! Did cute little animals really gather around you like that?
Media:vo snwq101 5 columbina 05.ogg The Damselette: Yes, most of them were drawn to the kuuvahki around me. They felt safe curling up next to me like that.
Media:vo snwq101 5 paimon 16.ogg Paimon: That's so awesome! You could pet them all you wanted without them running away!
Media:vo snwq101 5 columbina 06.ogg The Damselette: Hm... I would say the chic badgers were the nicest to pet. They're the ones with the big, fluffy tails.
Media:vo snwq101 5 columbina 07.ogg The Damselette: The fur on a rimehorn deer's neck is quite soft as well. It makes a very comfortable pillow.
Media:vo snwq101 5 columbina 08.ogg The Damselette: Which do you prefer?
Media:vo snwq101 5 paimon 17.ogg Paimon: Um, we don't really have the same kind of experience to go off of...
Media:vo snwq101 5 paimon 18.ogg Paimon: But, Paimon would probably choose to pet a chic badger's tail.
Media:vo snwq101 5 columbina 09.ogg The Damselette: Chic badgers can be quite timid. If you want to pet them, they need to feel safe first.
Media:vo snwq101 5 columbina 10.ogg The Damselette: Ah... But I would exercise caution, Paimon.
Media:vo snwq101 5 paimon 19.ogg Paimon: Why? Do they... bite, or something? P—Paimon promises to be super gentle...
Media:vo snwq101 5 columbina 11.ogg The Damselette: No. I'm referring to danger from above.
Media:vo snwq101 5 paimon 20.ogg Paimon: Danger from above...?
Media:vo snwq101 5 columbina 12.ogg The Damselette: Yes... Longplume ibises often hunt little animals like these. I had to issue them a warning to get them to stop going after the kuuhenki.
Media:vo snwq101 5 paimon 21.ogg Paimon: You're just telling Paimon this now!? It's a miracle she hasn't been carried off yet!
Media:vo snwq101 5 columbina 13.ogg The Damselette: Ah... Then, the next time I see one, I'll advise them that you are off limits as well.
Media:vo snwq101 5 paimon 22.ogg Paimon: Next time? No, you need to find one right now, or Paimon'll be too scared to even fly out that door!
Maalaus: !!!
Media:vo snwq101 5 columbina 15.ogg The Damselette: The little one... seems strangely curious about the idea of Paimon being carried off by a longplume ibis.
Media:vo snwq101 5 paimon 24.ogg Paimon: Don't even think about painting a picture like that...
(Quest ends)
(Talk to Columbina, optional)
Media:vo dialog snwq101 columbina 02.ogg The Damselette: *sigh*... I really would like to pet the little animals again.
