Find Caesar in Blazewood

 Commission Description

---

Caesar seems to be in the vicinity of Blazewood, talking to herself. Go check what she's up to today.

Figure out the source of the dispute

 Step Description

---

It seems that Kasa is arguing with someone in Blazewood. Go there with Caesar and find out what has happened.

Talk with Dorian

 Step Description

---

Kasa needs our help to persuade his [sic] brother Dorian, and Caesar immediately agrees. In this case, we should have a talk with Dorian.

Caesar: Hey, Dorian, there you are.

Dorian: Oh, it's you, Caesar. Wait, did my sister send you to give me a lecture?

Dorian: So, she couldn't get through to me, now she's sending you guys? Sorry, but I won't budge, not even for you, Caesar.

No, that's not the case.

Caesar's just worried about you.

Caesar: Well, yeah... I remember in past years you always wanted to go out rabbit hunting with me, and now you're an adult, having your own troubles. Time flies, man.

Why don't you talk about it with us?

It might help to talk it out.

Caesar: Yeah, we won't treat you like a kid.

Dorian: Do you really want to hear me out, Caesar?

Dorian: Yeah, that's the thing! She always treats me like a kid! She never listens to what I have to say!

Dorian: I admit I like the city fun, but what's so wrong about it? You guys enjoy your wild rides and camping, so why can't I have my thing too?

Dorian: Plus, I've already worked for years, and my aptitude for Ether is good. I can handle myself just fine!

Dorian: But my sis, she's always worrying about the town and stuck with me all day... She needs to focus on herself more, you now? I don't want to be a burden to her.

Caesar: Well said, Dorian! You're more responsible that I thought.

Dorian: Please Caesar, talk some sense into my sis! It's for her own good!

Caesar: Gotcha! Leave it to me!

(Wait! Aren't you too quick to agree?)

(But what about Kasa?)

Caesar: (Ah, my bad... got too carried away!)

Story Description: In the midst of Kasa and Dorian's argument, Caesar noticed their hidden motive. She persuaded them to reconcile and offered Dorian a suitable job opportunity.

Kasa arrives at this very moment...

Kasa: You're looking very relaxed, Dorian. Have you changed your mind about leaving the Outer Ring?

Dorian: Hmph, you're right on time. Sorry, but you've got it backwards! I'm going off to find myself, and Caesar's on my side!

Kasa: What? Caesar, what's going on? Even if you two have always been close, how can you enable him on something this significant?

Kasa: Didn't you just say I had a reason to be worried? Ugh, really! And I've always trusted you like a sister!

Caesar: Wait a second, Kasa. It's not what you think...

Dorian: Caesar, you said you weren't looking for me because of my sister. Was that a lie?

Dorian: So you were spying for my sister! How could you do this? I trusted you like family, that's why I confided in you!

Kasa: Caesar, ignore this brat. Who are you really going to help? I came to you first.

Dorian: You'll help me, won't you, Caesar? You clearly think I'm right!

Caesar: Ughhh... How did things turn out like this?!

A few minutes later...

Dorian: Caesar went against Big Daddy's word by doing the Tour de Inferno, but he never stopped her!

Kasa: She did it for the Old Oil Field, not like you — you're turning your back on our Outer Ring ancestral tradition!

Dorian: The Outer Ring is a free land. Everyone can choose whether they want to stay or go. I'm mature enough to know what I want.

Kasa: Mature? Hmph, you can't hold down a job for more than three months, and you haven't saved a Denny in years. You call that mature? We can talk about this again when you're as reliable as Caesar.

Dorian: How I spend my money is my own business! Besides, last week Caesar and Lucy went at it three times over whether carrots or celery are worse. She's not that perfect either.

Whoa, really?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Really...?Really...?Text for Wise / Whoa, really...?Whoa, really...?Text for Belle‍)

Wow, you two are so mature.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍I didn't know you two were so mature...I didn't know you two were so mature...Text for Wise / Wow, you two are so mature...Wow, you two are so mature...Text for Belle‍)

Caesar: Huh? Now's not the time for sarcasm.

Caesar: Alright, Kasa, Dorian. I think I'm starting to get the picture here.

Caesar: Kasa, Dorian's right. The Outer Ring is a free land, and everyone is entitled to the life they choose to lead.

Caesar: You don't want Dorian to leave because you're worried, but there's also a part of you that doesn't want him leaving because that's different to what you want, right?

Kasa: He's my only brother! And now that Blazewood is starting to make progress, we need someone with his Ether aptitude to help out around here...

Caesar: Blazewood still has us, right? If we put all the responsibility on the kids, wouldn't that make me a pretty useless Overlord?

Dorian: See? Even Caesar agrees! So you should let me go!

Caesar: Don't be so smug, Dorian. When you had me speak for you before, you never brought up switching jobs or your salary. It's easy to just talk about it.

Dorian: Ah... Th—That's...

Dorian: Caesar, I'm sorry! I know I wasn't good enough before, but I need a chance to prove myself! With my sister constantly watching over me, I'll always be nothing but a disappointment to her.

Kasa: Say what you want, I'm still not gonna let you go and work in the Faunus Quarter Hollow.

Caesar: Hmm... That's a problem.

Caesar, come here a sec...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Caesar, come here a sec, I just thought of something. You said Leaps and Bounds was gonna build a freight station in the Faunus Quarter, right?

Caesar: Ah, yeah. How could I forget about that!

Caesar: Dorian, Kasa, I have an idea... Leaps and Bounds has been transporting construction materials from the Outer Ring to the Faunus Quarter lately, and the freight station is in need of some extra hands.

Caesar: Let Dorian work there, and he'll be able to access everything he wants to in Faunus Quarter without getting involved in any dangerous work.

Dorian: Really? That's awesome!

Caesar: Don't get too excited, now. Doing business with the city is much harder than being at the sorting plant, and we're pretty strict. But if you can stick it out, Kasa probably won't stop you from going wherever you want next.

Kasa: If that's the case...

Kasa: Alright, I accept Caesar's idea.

Not long after, Kasa and Dorian leave...

Caesar: Who would have thought that handling a sibling dispute would be harder than fighting ten Lighters at once!

You seemed really calm just then.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): You seemed really calm just then.

Caesar: No way... I'm really terrible at this kind of thing.

When you put it like that, Lighter sounds weak.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): When you put it like that... it makes Lighter sound really weak.

Caesar: What? No way! Lighter's as tough as they come. I was just completely confounded by those two.

Caesar: We managed to solve the issue thanks to you, Proxy. The idea of using the frieght station got both of them to agree to the terms, and I also found the help I needed.

What's more important is that you discovered the truth.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍I think more importantly, you discovered the hidden truth, which made them both take a step back. You're very perceptive.I think more importantly, you discovered the hidden truth, which made them both take a step back.

Caesar: I'm not that observant; it's probably because similar things have happened to me.

Caesar: Big Daddy stopped me from going on the Tour de Inferno because he wanted me to take a little more time to prepare. He was right, and I was totally naive about my responsibilities at the time.

Caesar: But the truth is, you have to experience things for yourself. The rest of it is up to Dorian.

Caesar: Ah, we've been talking so long that I'm getting hungry. Proxy, are you hungry? Let's go. I'll treat you to something nice!

Speaking of which, I just thought of something...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Speaking of which, I just thought of something... Is it carrots you hate, or celery?

Caesar: How do you still remember that?

Caesar: If you ask me — they're both terrible!

You have some Blazewood cuisine with Caesar, then, comes the time to say goodbye...

---

Caesar: Thanks to you, I've found help for the freight depot stuff.

Caesar: It's a shame I have to head to the freight depot now. I'll catch you later.

Go do what you need.

I'm heading back, too.

Caesar: Yeah, till next time!
