You must be our latest Daeva! What was your name again...Player, right?

You've caused quite a stir! The Seraphim Lords usually choose new Daevas with backgrounds less...colorful, I suppose, than yours.

Some Daevas cherish their lofty status but I'm not about to question the Seraphim Lords' judgment.

Player: "It's natural to prefer the status quo...."

True, true. Still, I can tell you're going to have to work extra hard to appease the stuffy aristocrats around here.

Now, please don't take this the wrong way, but...I've never met a mercenary before.

What's it like? I'm curious!

Player: "Been to Poeta? I defended a village..."

Not Akarios, surely? What a small world we live in!

I used to visit the Daminu Forest regularly--to bathe beneath a waterfall there. A beautiful place, so serene compared to the hectic pace here in Sanctum.

But I gave up that serenity after one bad experience. Would you believe that someone stole my clothes one evening? What an outrage!

Player: "I know...actually, I found them."

You're the one who found my clothes? I didn't get a chance to thank you!

I never did figure out who stole them in the first place, though. I shiver every time I think about it.

Player, since you found my clothes, do you think you could go back to Poeta and find out what happened? And it's a private matter to me, so use discretion please.

Player: Accept.

Thank you! Your face is familiar to the people of Poeta, so you'll probably find the culprit faster than an outsider.

Ariel light your path, Player. Perhaps if you bring the thief to justice, I'll feel comfortable relaxing by the waterfall again.

Player: "I'll return soon."

Player! It's really you!

I heard you became a Daeva and went to Sanctum! How are you?

Things haven't changed much since you left, I'm afraid. We're still trying to kick the Dukaki out of the forest.

Player: "Seirenia seeks a clothing thief..."

A clothing thief? Well, obviously you should turn yourself in, Player! I mean...you stole the clothes, didn't you?

What? D-Don't look at me like that! What are you suggesting?

I'm seeing someone else now, anyway! And I thought Seirenia forgot all about it...but I guess not, huh?

Player: "What do you think I should do?"

Well, you could tell Seirenia that you investigated, but you couldn't find the culprit.

Or maybe you could tell her that it was a mercenary--a mercenary who was banished after his crimes were discovered. Yeah, that'd work!

Or, you could take one for the team--tell her you stole the clothes and apologize profusely. I don't care what you say. Just don't incriminate me!

Player: "I need to think about this..."

You've returned from Akarios Village!

Please, tell me what you learned! Did you discover the criminal? And did you...deal with the punishment issue?

Player: "It was a woodcutter named Namus."

Namus the woodcutter...hmmm. Yes, I think I know him.

He was always snooping around the waterfall. I never thought he'd have the courage to approach, much less steal from me.

Now that I have his name, what should I do with him?

Player: "Report him?"

Extenuating circumstances? What possible reason could someone have for stealing my clothes?

I think you're hiding the culprit, Player!

Player: "Let me explain..."

That's too bad. You aren't hiding anything from me, are you, Player? I felt certain you would uncover the truth.

Not even a clue, huh?

Player: "Sorry, Seirenia, but no."

How dare he steal from me! First thing tomorrow I'm traveling to Poeta and reporting that snivelling runt to the priest.

Spying on bathers, stealing clothes...I hate to think what else he's capable of!
The thief thought I was a nymph?! But that makes no sense!

I don't care if the thief read some fanciful fable in a badly written book. I'm no nymph and I'm certainly not going to fall in love with him if he steals my clothes!

I froze half to death getting back here, too! What idiots those Humans can be!
That's a pity. I suppose any leads have now gone cold. I'll just try to forget about the whole incident and move on, I suppose.

Well, thank you for investigating, Player.

Please, take this for your time.
