Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Vivacious Observer: <gasp> You, my dear familiar, are precisely what I need! Pray help me with my research!
Vivacious Observer: One of our new creations has an extremely wary disposition. Try as I might to go near it for observation, it senses my aether and flees.
Vivacious Observer: As a familiar, your aether is thinner than mine, yet you seem more intelligent than your fellows. That being the case, I believe you may succeed where I have failed. Come with me behind the building─I will take you to the creation!

Optional Dialogue

A'telihgo: Our comrade has informed me of the situation. Should you find the one for whom this letter is intended, do let me know.

Speak with the vivacious observer.

Vivacious Observer: There it is─Notos 666. New as it is to Elpis, the creature has yet to be given a proper name.
Vivacious Observer: As I mentioned, I cannot go near it. Indeed, this is the closest I can be. I want you to approach it, and then do something to show that you are a friend. What do you think will work?

< What will you do? > 
< Return its gaze. >
< Perform a dance for it. >

< Return its gaze. >
Vivacious Observer: Uhhh, I strongly recommend against doing so, lest you become forever lost in its bottomless gaze... Instead, perhaps you could try gesturing to it. Something whimsical...like as a dance! Yes, I daresay that will encourage it to lower its guard!
Vivacious Observer: So go on, try to perform a dance for Notos 666. I shall watch from here. Best of luck to you!

/dance for Notos 666

Notos 666: ...
  
Notos 666 scurries off, leaving behind the bowl of fruit.

Speak with the vivacious observer.

Vivacious Observer: Heh heh, I witnessed it all. You did very well, my dear familiar.
Vivacious Observer: Notos 666 is designed to facilitate the proliferation of fruiting trees by bearing their seeds to faraway places.
Vivacious Observer: While their young are still unable to forage for themselves, 'tis the duty of male creatures to bring them food.
Vivacious Observer: In leaving you the fruit, it appears to have taken you for one of its own. I wasn't sure how it would respond to your overtures, but I wasn't expecting that!
Vivacious Observer: Go on and take your gift, and let us return to Anagnorisis. You deserve a reward for your troubles.

Deliver the bowl of fruit to the vivacious observer.

Vivacious Observer: Thanks to your invaluable cooperation, I was able to acquire some very insightful data.
Vivacious Observer: Oh, the fruit. They are rightly yours to enjoy, so go on─enjoy them!
 
The fruit looked good, but it tastes even better, each bite a small piece of heaven in your mouth!
 
Vivacious Observer: Heh heh, judging by your expression, 'twould seem Notos 666 saves the choicest fruit for its young.
Vivacious Observer: Though it has but come to us, I have a good feeling for the creature. When the time comes, we shall have to think up a suitably fine name for it.
Vivacious Observer: Here is the reward I promised. Thanks again, my dear familiar!
