Journal

• Nicoliaux needs the assistance of a kind adventurer.

• Displaying an admirable grasp of the adventurer's solitary motivation, Nicoliaux offers to reward you if you can make Aunillie laugh. Introduce yourself to her with a /bow.

• Your adroitly executed greeting elicited a response of sorts. Ask Nicoliaux what you should do next.

• Nicoliaux suggests that you express the /joy of living, reasoning that it must be something adventurers feel at all times. Show Aunillie the /joy in your heart and see how she reacts.

• Your latest efforts have yielded two whole words from Aunillie-- double your previous attempt-- but she still refuses to laugh. Ask Nicoliaux for further advice.

• Nicoliaux suggests you swallow your pride, throw common sense to the wind, and /dance for Aunillie.

• The scant vestiges of pride and respectability to which you may once have clung are now gone. However, Aunillie got a good laugh out of it. See what Nicoliaux has to say.

• When her father died during the Calamity, Aunillie became quiet and withdraw. Even now, more than five years later, she rarely laughs, which continues to trouble Nicoliaux. Though he would deny it vehemently, it seems the boy is maturing into one of the adults he delighted in tormenting not so very long ago.

Dialogue

Nicoliaux: I know all about adventurers! You'll do anything for a reward, won't you?
Nicoliaux: Well then, I want you to make Aunillie laugh.
Nicoliaux: She's no good with strangers, so first you should introduce yourself politely, with a bow!

After /bowing for Aunillie

Aunillie: ...Hi.

Speaking to Nicoliaux

Nicoliaux: That seemed to work, but she still looks sad. Hmmm... Try sharing the joy in your heart with her. That'll prove how nice you are.

After expressing /joy to Aunillie

Aunillie: ...You're odd.

Speaking to Nicoliaux

Nicoliaux: I think she's starting to like you. Good! Now that you've broken the ice, I bet that if you surprise her and just start dancing, she'll laugh her head off!

After /dancing for Aunillie

Aunillie: ...<giggle>
Aunillie: Ahahaha! You're a really good dancer, mister/[?].
Aunillie: That looked like fun. Maybe I should try it sometime...

Speaking to Nicoliaux

Nicoliaux: Thank you. You're pretty good at this!
Nicoliaux: Aunillie lost her father five years ago, during all the fighting. She hasn't laughed much since then.
Nicoliaux: So I wanted to...I mean, we're all worried, but a lot of the younglings have been following me around lately, and— Ahhh, you wouldn't understand. Anyway, thanks for the help.
