Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Solina: Thank you for agreeing to help. I know that he's out there, somewhere. I feel it.
Solina: I should check belowdecks again... While I do, could you search the Kholusian coast in my stead? I've been thinking that he may have washed up there, but... Well, it's crawling with vicious creatures, and I do have some sense of self-preservation.
Solina: Look for an elf of about my age. You'll know him when you see him, I'm sure─he has silky hair and the most gorgeous smile! 

Optional

Youthful Elf: I can't say that I know any Solina... Unless that would get me into Eulmore? In which case, I definitely know her. 

Kind-faced Elf: You've the wrong person, I'm afraid. So many fled the city in the wake of what happened... You may have a rather difficult time tracking down anyone in particular.

Rescuing the silk-haired elf

Silky-haired Elf: I'm saved! I was so tired after swimming to shore, you see, that I crawled over here and dropped off to sleep... I'm sure you can imagine my horror upon seeing those visages when I awoke!
Silky-haired Elf: I've worried Solina? I had no idea I'd been gone so long...
Silky-haired Elf: Of course I will return to Eulmore immediately. Please, join us there─I'm sure she'll want to thank you for all you've done.

(Optional)
Solina: My love, is it truly you?

Speaking with the silky-haired elf in the Derelicts

Silky-haired Elf: Solina, how glad I am to see you well!

Solina: You... You're alright! Oh, what a relief...

Silky-haired Elf: Of course I am. I wouldn't leave you all alone.

Solina: You had better not!
Solina: You really brought him back. I don't know how to thank you.

Silky-haired Elf: Still, I'm surprised that the Queen Bee sent you. Perhaps he wasn't as angry as I thought.
Silky-haired Elf: I used to work at the Beehive as well, you see─but when the Queen Bee found out about our relationship... Things became rather heated. I quit, and have been eking out a living here ever since.

Solina: I didn't expect him to understand, but...he did help, when no one else would. So I will return to the Beehive, as promised, and I'll work harder than ever! 

Silky-haired Elf: For my part...allow me to provide the reward you were offered, along with my sincere gratitude. It's the least I can do.
