What a fine hole I have dug myself into...

I don't mean to talk your ear off. It's my daughter, Harmone. We haven't seen one another for some time...quite some time. And now she wants to rekindle our relationship by spending the rest of her days by my side.

But I am very busy, you see. A very busy Daeva. I tried telling her how busy I am, but she will not heed what I have to say. I apologized for leaving her when she was younger, but it did no good. So all I could do was tell her to go back home and that I would come see her once I finished my work here.

Player: Nod your head.

But that crippled old...forgive me, I need to keep my composure. She will not listen to me.

She has found a place in Heiron and writes me letters every day! Every day I get a letter from her! Blessed Elysea, every day!

I realize how awful it must have been to grow up without a father, and I feel ashamed of myself for leaving her. But these letters from her...she only wants me to buy her things! Expensive things! She plays my guilt like a harp.

Player: "But she is your daughter."

Yes, yes she is. But she is an old woman! She shows up after 80 years claiming to be my daughter.... It was unsettling, to say the least!

I did not handle myself well, to be honest with you. I said some horrible things that I now regret. But she didn't get sad--she got angry. She threatened to stand in the center of Sanctum and shout at the top of her lungs that I left her and her mother when they needed me most!

That would ruin my reputation! I didn't have a choice but to play her game. I had to agree to buy her all those shadow-cursed items in her letter. Please, in the name of Ariel, you have to do me a favor. I beg of you!

Player: Accept.

Here, take this letter...she wrote it. You can see what I'm talking about. She's as conniving as a Shugo peddler.

There's no telling what she'll do next. Please, find the items in that letter and take them to her...to Harmone...my daughter. Ah, I don't like saying that. Please, just do this for me.

Player: "I'm on it."

Are you meaning the pretty Jade Marble that Thersites ordered?

Hmmm, give Nagirinerk a moment, yes? What Thersites want with a marble this size? Too much big to carry, too much big to wear for him, akakakakak!

Player: "It's a present for his daughter."

Daughter? Thersites have daughter?

He must love the daughter very much for a gift like this. If Nagirinerk's daughter asked of this, I would teach her a lesson across the face!

Naw, naw. Nagirinerk very happy to help father show love to daughter. I get now.

Player: Take gift.

Chieninenerk manage very well to meet your order, Daeva.

It must be present for Daeva very special to you. A very difficult order to locate.

Chieninenerk putting nose into Daeva's affairs. Forget it. Shugo always in others affairs, akakakakaka! But Chieninenerk go through a lot of hassle to find this Aether Headband for Daeva. Lot of hassle.

Player: "Thersites will appreciate it."

Aether Headband is strange thing to ask for.

Cyclone Aether very very difficult Aether. Very hard to find. Very very hard to make headband. Now headband very very heavy on the head.

Chieninenerk don't know what kind of gift heavy headband make. Not good gift, akakakakak. But Aether Headband ready for you now.

Player: "Thank you, Shugo."

Daeva looking for pretty? Something for lady Daeva?

I find what Daeva needs. Daeva shy today? No like to speak to Gyabrunerk?

Ahh, maybe Daeva looking for something...secret? Illegal thing? Gyabrunerk not tell...just say and me find.

Player: "Just some Wrinkle Remover."

Ahhh, Thersites send Daeva here? Why you no say first? Gyabrunerk have the Wrinkle Remover here, here.

Very expensive but Thersites good customer, akakakak. Made from many pearls and special, special sauce. But guaranteed! Make old into young, make ugly into pretty. Guaranteed! Just rub on face and very pretty will happen!

Player: "Guaranteed? Good."

Well, arieluma, my young Daeva friend!

I am so happy you've come to see me. I was hoping to see my father, but I know he is very busy. He promised to bring me many gifts to show how much he loves me.

Is this why you're here? Did he send you with my gifts? I was hoping he would bring them, but I know he is very busy. Are those my gifts there?

Player: Give her the items.

My father asked you to bring these to me? What did he say exactly? Did he say that he misses me?

Oh, don't listen to me nibble your ear off with questions. I'm just a little lonely out here. Before you go, let me just see if you got everything I asked for here. Hmmm....

Oh, wonderful, everything is here. He really does love me, doesn't he? Come back and we'll have tea, Daeva. And tell my father that I miss him.
