Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Forlorn Fisherman: <sigh>
Forlorn Fisherman: Oh, that sigh wasn't for you, I was just...thinking about a friend.
Forlorn Fisherman: The damned fool got tired of the hard life, you see, and tried to sail to the mainland in our little fishing boat. Said he'd come back and fetch me after he'd found his fortune.
Forlorn Fisherman: ...His body washed up on the beach yesterday. I wonder if his last thoughts were for his home or for the shores of the land he never reached...<sniff>
Forlorn Fisherman: Actually, [miss/sir], if you've naught better to do than listen to me sob, I'd appreciate a hand collecting his belongings. They're scattered along the sands, but I don't know that I'll find them all before the waves steal them out to sea.
(Optional)
Forlorn Fisherman: My friend's belongings were washed up along the beach down there. Please, help me grab them all before they get lost to the waves. 

Delivering the belongings to the forlorn fisherman

Forlorn Fisherman: Did you find anything?
< Hand Over Snapped Fishing Rod, Clouded Necklace, and Corroded Ring >
Forlorn Fisherman: Aye, these are his things, alright.
Forlorn Fisherman: We made this rod ourselves, me and him... I lost count of the number of times we slipped away to go fishing instead of grubbing about in the fields.
Forlorn Fisherman: So he should've known better than to try crossing those choppy waters in that tiny boat. I told him─wicked white, how many times I told him─and then the Divide swallowed him up and spat him out. The damned fool...
Forlorn Fisherman: I suppose I'd better bury these bits and pieces with him, and then get back to work. Thank you for your kindness, stranger.

寂しげな漁民
············。

寂しげな漁民
ああ、すまない。
友人のことを考えていたんだ······。

寂しげな漁民
コルシア島での貧しい生活に嫌気がさしたあいつは、
大陸へ渡るために、ひとり小舟で出立したんだよ。
向こうで成功したら、絶対俺を迎えに来るからと言ってね。

寂しげな漁民
······あいつの遺体がこの浜に流れ着いたのは、昨日のことさ。
最期に願ったのは、まだ見ぬ大陸の土か、
それとも、この生まれ故郷の土だったか······。

寂しげな漁民
旅人さん······もち時間があるなら、
浜辺に打ち上げられた遺品を探すのを手伝ってくれないか？
浜にさらわれる前に······回収しておきたいんだよ。

(任意)
寂しげな漁民
もし時間があれば、遺品集めを手伝ってくれると助かるよ。

寂しげな漁民に遺品を渡す

寂しげな漁民
······遺品は見つかったかい？

<色褪せた首飾り、折れた釣竿、錆だらけの指輪を渡す>

寂しげな漁民
ありがとう······間違いないよ。

寂しげな漁民
この釣竿······俺とあいつで作ったものなんだ。
よくふたりで、一緒に釣りをしたんだよ。

寂しげな漁民
コルシア島と大陸を隔てるディバイド海峡は、
荒れることも多くてね、小舟で渡るのは命がけなんだ。
何度も説得したんだが······ほんとうに······ッ······馬鹿なやつだよ······！

寂しげな漁民
この遺品は、あいつの遺体と一緒に埋葬するよ。
手伝ってくれて、どうもありがとう。
