Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Lanille: Gods...that girl never listens...!?
Oh! It is you. How much of my grumbling did you hear?
Lanille: An elder's torment knows no end. I sent my niece out to gather branches for a bow, but she has yet to return. Knowing her pious nature, doubtless she is lost in prayer under some tree or the other.
Lanille: While I would never deny her her faith, she must learn not to neglect her worldly duties. My warnings fall on deaf ears, however. Perhaps you can succeed where I failed. Could you speak with her on my behalf? She is likely somewhere in the Wild Fete.
(Optional)
Lanille: I am at my wit's end, so I must ask for your help. Pray find my niece at the Wild Fete and instruct her to return here at once.

Searching for Lanille's niece

Good-natured Niece: ...
Good-natured Niece: Oh, my apologies, I did not notice you. It is so easy to become lost in my quiet of the wood...
Good-natured Niece: What? Lanille sent you? I see... It seems I must apologize for becoming your burden as well.
Good-natured Niece: However, it would have been remiss of me to return without saying my proper benedictions. After all, a branch is but a gift of the wood, a piece of its life force that we must be grateful for.
Good-natured Niece: This tree is said to be blessed by Yx'Maja, goddess of beauty and the hunt. It is only natural that I should say thanks here before receiving the wood's bounty.
Good-natured Niece: Would you care to join me? Ask for the tree's protection, that you might be safeguarded from danger in the journey ahead.

System: The wood is waiting to give its blessing to any who would pray for it. 

(Optional)
Good-natured Niece: Who knows what perils you may face in the future? Pray for the blessing of the goddess to set your mind at ease.

/praying before the sacred tree

Good-natured Niece: Very good. Now the goddess shall watch over your every step.
Good-natured Niece: Now, I suppose it is time I seek out a suitable branch. Please tell Lanille that I shall be home soon.

Reporting to Lanille

Lanille: You have returned. I hope she did not prove too troublesome. 
Lanille: So, even a warrior such as you can be convinced to say a humble prayer? Perhaps there is power in her conviction after all. Very well, I too shall pray that the goddess keeps you in good health.
