ErikAh, well met, [Player]!

ErikI was just telling the queen here what a debt of gratitude we owe you.

Butterfly YueliaSo the Napdragon is back to its sleepy old self?

ErikThe creature is back to dozing in the sun...where I wish I was. All is as it should be.

Butterfly YueliaThat's great to hear! Any word from Hughes on the Goddess Cog yet?

ErikWe are still awaiting his results.

ErikIn haste, there is error, which we can ill afford. Therefore, we have no option but to be patient.

ErikI just made that up! Not bad, eh? I need someone to follow me around and write down everything I say.

ErikAlso, I have indeed rescinded the order restricting Princess Laura to her room. My mind hath changed.

ErikOK, that one wasn't so good. I don't want that one written down.

ErikAlthough I am still concerned for her welfare, as she is my little girl, I trust her to make good decisions.

Butterfly YueliaYou're making the right move, Your Majesty!

ErikRemind me of that when she gets lost out there in the West Grassy Plains at night.

ErikBut I stand by what I said, even while I was caught up in the excitement of dragons and prophetic visions.

ErikI was...wr-wr-wr... *ahem* Pardon me. Confining the princess to her room was wr-wr-wr... I can't say it!

OpheliaWrong, dear. You're trying to say you were wrong.

OpheliaAnd I'm glad you've come to this decision. It shows maturity on your part as a leader. It's very becoming.

OpheliaAnd we should never forget that when you were her age, you were constantly exploring the kingdom!

ErikWell, yes...but...this is completely different.

OpheliaHow is this different?

ErikBecause Laura is a GIRL...

ErikThere're monsters and things outside of Castele! Things that are scary for girls!

OpheliaI take back what I said about you showing maturity.

OpheliaI seem to remember you were attacked time after time by bandits and monsters alike.

OpheliaAnd I also seem to remember it was I who often saved you!

OpheliaYou were so consumed with disguises and maps, you were constantly getting into trouble.

OpheliaI'm the one who led the search party to the top of Mount Snowpeak when you never came back.

OpheliaAnd I'm the one who scared away the Gingery you couldn't get past in the Elderwood.

OpheliaAnd when you ran straight into a pack of Coyotes, I was the one who rescued you!

OpheliaAnd what if I hadn't been there that time you tried to use that Love Bomb on the sleeping Plains Bear?

OpheliaI shudder to think what would have happened then!

ErikOK, OK! Enough!

ErikLook, I already said I was wrong, OK?! The princess has my permission to explore the kingdom.

ErikAs long as she tells us where she's going.

ErikI am sure that you, my new friends, will see to it no harm befalls my little girl. Please take these.

OpheliaThat is a very good idea, Erik.

OpheliaI think you can stop worrying a bit. I don't want you getting an ulcer over this.

OpheliaBesides, Laura's new friends have proven to be quite the good-luck charm!

OpheliaThank you for all you've done. And please watch over Laura next time you go adventuring together.

Butterfly YueliaOf course we will!

ErikThere's one small matter left to be resolved. That is the matter of her curfew.

ErikHow does noon sound?
