Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Deushs Aath: Finless one, honored guest, a moment of your time. We seek the wisssdom of you and your people.
Deushs Aath: In the water, there are many ways in which we Ondo may communicate with one another without relying on ssspeech. However, in this new environment of ours, our options are sssomewhat more restricted.
Deushs Aath: The koal wish to learn other techniques, but I have limited knowledge of such things. Might you speak with this child and demonssstrate for him your methods?
(Optional)
Deushs Aath: We seek knowledge of how finless ones communicate with one another without words. Show this child, if you would, such techniques as he wishes to learn.

Speaking with the Ondo youth

Ondo Youth: You have come at a good time, finless one. Might you be so kind as to demonssstrate how you would, without words, beckon me to come to your side?
(Optional)
Ondo Youth: No, no, not with your words, finless one! You must beckon me with your most expresssive motions!

/beckoning the Ondo youth

Ondo Youth: I see, I see! Such exaggerated gestures are sure to be easssily understood even over consssiderable distances.
Ondo Youth: We are about to embark on a hunt. Perhaps I will be able to employ this new technique to great effect to coordinate our movements...
Ondo Youth: There is another of our brethren in the Cups that would benefit from your wisdom. An insssatiably curious Ondo. Please go to him and aid him as you did us.

Speaking with the insatiably curious Ondo

Insatiably Curious Ondo: Finless one, finless one! You are the one who is teaching Ondo how your kind ssspeaks without words, yes? Tell me then: how would you express delight at another's sssurprisingly amusing antics?
Insatiably Curious Ondo: With water, one might do so with several spontaneous loops. Without, this “sssomersault” motion becomes rather more difficult. I am told your kind is like to chuckle─what is this? Can you demonssstrate?
(Optional)
Insatiably Curious Ondo: Does my question amuse you? That is well, but do not say so with words! You must expresss your enthusssiasm in the finless one way! You must chuckle for me!

/chuckling at the insatiably curious Ondo

Insatiably Curious Ondo: Oh, I see! It is a shaking of the whole body and a contortion of the face! I think I can replicate this motion...
Insatiably Curious Ondo: Well? Was it not a near-perfect imitation of the chuckle?

< What will you say?> 
< Nay─it was a perfect-perfect imitation! >
< Honestly, I thought you wanted to eat my face. >

< Nay─it was a perfect-perfect imitation! >
Insatiably Curious Ondo: I knew it! And I owe it all to your excellent instruction. I shall use this new communication technique with pride.

< Honestly, I thought you wanted to eat my face. >
Insatiably Curious Ondo: Really? But your face is not at all appetizing to me. Hmm... I was so certain that I had captured the esssence of the chuckle, but it seems this will require rather more practice...

(Both)
Insatiably Curious Ondo: It was Deushs Aath who first asked you to teach us these techniques, yes? You should return to him and tell him of your efforts. I am sure he will reward you.
Insatiably Curious Ondo: As for me, I will go and teach others of the chuckle. My thanks to you for this gift, finless one!

Speaking with Deushs Aath

Deushs Aath: The koal seem to be in high ssspirits─or perhaps they have grown that skilled at expresssing themselves with the chuckle already? That is all the more reason I have to thank you for our instruction, then.

(Optional)
Deushs Aath: How find you the Cupsss, finless one? If it is to your liking, I pray you ssstay as long as you like. The koal will learn much from ssspending time with you.
