UI Quest Quest Description

The Damselette is having a spot of trouble in the Silvermoon Hall...
(Approach Columbina)
Maalaus: ...
Media:vo snwq101 5 paimon 25.ogg Paimon: Huh? Isn't that Maalaus? Has she been out gathering inspiration, again?
Media:vo snwq101 5 columbina 16.ogg The Damselette: Yes. But the little one has been like this ever since she came back... As if lost in thought.
Media:vo snwq101 5 paimon 26.ogg Paimon: Huh, maybe the theme this time is super profound... Y'know, like when a great artist realizes some fundamental truth about the world.
Media:vo snwq101 5 paimon 27.ogg Paimon: Come to think of it, Maalaus has given us a whole bunch of paintings. We could hold an entire exhibition at this rate!
Media:vo snwq101 5 paimon 28.ogg Paimon: Hehe, Paimon can't wait to tell everyone all about our little painter's rise to artistic stardom! Ah, but we'd need Columbina's permission first, of course.
Media:vo snwq101 5 columbina 17.ogg The Damselette: Hm? Why is that?
Icon Dialogue Talk White Well, 'cause they're nearly all paintings of you.
Media:vo snwq101 5 columbina 18.ogg The Damselette: Oh... It's okay, I don't mind. It sounds intriguing.
Maalaus: ~!
Media:vo snwq101 5 paimon 29.ogg Paimon: Oh, seems like Maalaus has decided what to draw! Quick, let's see what kind of paint we've got.
Media:vo snwq101 5 paimon 30.ogg Paimon: This time... Let's go for deep and tranquil colors!
Icon Quest Step Step Description

What will the kuuhenki's art look like...
(Talk to Maalaus)
(‍Traveler‍)}: (Deep, tranquil colors...)

(Submit Lakkaberry Lakkaberry, Icy Pebble Icy Pebble, or Moonfall Silver Moonfall Silver)
Media:vo snwq101 5 paimon 31.ogg Paimon: Alright, these should do. What do you think, Maalaus?
Maalaus: ~!
Media:vo snwq101 5 paimon 32.ogg Paimon: Yep, looks like a happy kuuhenki to Paimon! Hehe, wonder what kind of painting we'll get this time...
Maalaus: ...
Media:vo snwq101 5 paimon 33.ogg Paimon: Oh, is it done already?
Maalaus: ...
Media:vo snwq101 5 paimon 34.ogg Paimon: Maalaus seems a little sad. Is it because of the painting? Let's take a look...
Media:vo snwq101 5 paimon 35.ogg Paimon: Okay so, it's Columbina... taking a walk under the moonlight and gazing up at the night sky.
Media:vo snwq101 5 columbina 19.ogg The Damselette: Ah... I must be looking at the true moon beyond the false sky. I used to take midnight walks like that all the time.
Media:vo snwq101 5 paimon 36.ogg Paimon: Used to...? Oh, right...
(‍Traveler‍): (Columbina is pretty much confined to this garden, now... even though Nod-Krai is where she was born...)
Media:vo snwq101 5 columbina 20.ogg The Damselette: Yes, I would gaze at the sky and wonder... What really lies up there on the true Frost Moon?
Media:vo snwq101 5 columbina 21.ogg The Damselette: Perhaps it's just like here, filled with lots of little animals...
Media:vo snwq101 5 columbina 22.ogg The Damselette: Or perhaps... there's nothing there at all.
Media:vo snwq101 5 paimon 37.ogg Paimon: Oh...
Icon Dialogue Talk White You could always take a few up there with you?
Media:vo snwq101 5 columbina 23a 1.ogg The Damselette: Ha... An interesting thought.
Media:vo snwq101 5 columbina 23a 2.ogg The Damselette: But... Since the moon lies beyond the false sky, that's one adventure I would rather not risk taking them on...
Icon Dialogue Talk White There could be other cute creatures up there...
Media:vo snwq101 5 columbina 23b 1.ogg The Damselette: Mm, I hope so.
Media:vo snwq101 5 columbina 23b 2.ogg The Damselette: And I hope... if there are, the creatures would welcome the sudden and unexpected return of their "Goddess."
(‍Traveler‍): (One is a "home" where she isn't even free to move around... the other is a "home" she knows nothing about...)
(‍Traveler‍): (...)
Maalaus: ...
Media:vo snwq101 5 paimon 38.ogg Paimon: Maalaus and the other kuuhenki are really gonna miss you...
Media:vo snwq101 5 columbina 24.ogg The Damselette: And I will miss them too.
Media:vo snwq101 5 columbina 25.ogg The Damselette: But in the end, this is a journey that only I can make... and the answer at the end of it is mine alone to seek.
Media:vo snwq101 5 columbina 26.ogg The Damselette: And who knows? Whatever that answer turns out to be... Perhaps it will be something beautiful.
Media:vo snwq101 5 paimon 39.ogg Paimon: W—Well... We'll just have to come visit you, then! With Maalaus!
Media:vo snwq101 5 columbina 27.ogg The Damselette: Alright. We could hold that art exhibition on the moon, perhaps.
Media:vo snwq101 5 paimon 40.ogg Paimon: Yeah, great idea! It's a promise!
Media:vo snwq101 5 columbina 28.ogg The Damselette: Mm...
Media:vo snwq101 5 columbina 29.ogg The Damselette: I hope so, I truly do...
(Quest completes)
(Talk to Columbina, optional)
Media:vo snwq101 5 columbina 30.ogg The Damselette: What is there... up on the moon...
