Dialogue
Accepting the quest
Excuse me, ma'am? Have you seen a little boy with hair a similar shade to mine? He's my son, and I can't find him anywhere!
It all started when I told him we ought to seek refuge in your encampment, and he started wailing and sobbing like I'd never seen. The next thing I knew, he was running hell-for-leather goodness knows where.
I'm worried he may have left the station altogether, and the streets above are rife with danger! Please, could you find him for me?
Oh you will? Bless your heart! If I know my son, he's probably tried to return to our house to the north of Palatium Novum. Try there first before anywhere. He'll be easy to recognize I should think, what with the color of his hair and all.
Optional dialogue
I will try searching the station again just in case, though I'd bet anything he's gone back to our house near Palatium Novum.
Search for the azure-haired boy
Another blocked street...?
Wh-Who are you?
Mother sent you? Hmph! Tell her I won't go to the enemy's camp─ I'm going home!
The boy with the sky blue hair has made good his escape. You had best resume your search for this obstreperous youth.
Search the designated location and follow the azure-haired boy
Once again, the boy with the sky blue hair has taken flight, and will likely be looking over his shoulder for signs of trouble from now on. With a weary sigh, you resume the hunt.
Your next objective requires Sneaking.
Dialogue as the player follows the azure-haired boy.
Perhaps I lost him/her
I'm going home no matter what!
M-must have been the wind..
Th-This can't be...
No... Our home, it was here─right here!
You again? Leave me alone! I'm staying here to build a new house─bigger and better than the old one!
The child has escaped your grasp yet again. Though this may be construed as a particularly tiresome endeavor, remember that he is only a child and knows no better. You should find him before he comes to harm.
Rescue the azure-haired boy
Why do you care so much?
We're enemies, remember? Why are you trying to help me?
What will you say?
You need help, and I'm offering it.
How would your mother feel if something were to happen to you?
<sniffle> I don't care what you say! We don't need your help!
But Mother's worried. I should go back. To the station.
Report to the azure-haired woman
I was wondering when I would see you again. I'm happy to report my son has returned. Poor creature... You should have seen him─tears pouring down his little cheeks, crying his apologies to me. I know that you were the one who found him, though he didn't mention a word of it to me.
I almost couldn't believe my ears when he said he wouldn't mind moving to your camp. He was dead against it only hours ago. What could have happened, I wonder?
What? He was attacked? By that horrid magitek, you say? Goodness, that must have been quite a shock for my little man. Thank you for coming to his rescue.
There is a salutary lesson to be gained from all this, though, one that I hope he retains. Do not scorn a proffered hand when one is in need, whether that hand be friend or foe's. At any rate, I thank you for finding him. It's not much, but please, I insist.
