I was wondering if I could ask you a favor.

A few days ago I had some of my bad luck and took a wrong turn. I ended up in the Sunken Canyon, where I met a Daeva of Minerals named Carabel.

She said she's searching for ore containing Aether in the region, but I'm a little concerned about her well-being in such a place. And...

Player: "And what?"

Well...it just seems strange that she's out there all alone. She even refused an escort, very vehemently, I hear.

Apparently she acts very furtive and secretive at the fortress too. Whenever someone approaches her, she gets tense and hostile.

Player: "She's unfriendly. Doesn't seem odd."

I know, I know. It's just that I've seen her at the fortress myself, and she always seems weighed down, as if she's carrying something heavy....

I think she may be smuggling gems, but she'd be stupid to take such a big risk. She'd be punished severely for sure if she were caught.

Even if I'm wrong, she's still alone in that hostile place. Mind checking up on her?

Player: Accept.

If you go straight down the road there until you get to the Sunken Canyon, you should find Carabel.

I'd appreciate it if you made sure she's okay. And if you could tell me whether my suspicions are way off or not.

She seems like the type who's constantly on guard. See what you can get from her.

Player: "I'll try."

(She sees you coming and hastily stuffs something into her cube.)

Y-you startled me! What're you doing way out here?

And why are you sneaking around like that? Do you have something to hide?

Player: "Someone was worried about you."

Bet it was that busybody Vyuin! He should just mind his own business!

As you can see, I'm prospecting for minerals with high Aether content. It could prove invaluable to the war effort here.

If you can't help me, you're in my way. Please leave. Now.
