Accepting the quest
Komuxio
Helpful one arrives at a good time! This one needs helpful one's help!
Gaius
Claxio... These ones are your friends... Come with these ones... Serve primal one together...
Claxio
No! This one is good one! Will never go with bad ones!
Gaius
Meddling one not smart to anger this one... This one has many friends in the forest...
Papalymo
A morbol!? And things were going so well...
- FR Il doit être manipulé par le Sylphe subjugué ! ‘It must be controlled by the tempered sylph!’ English makes a wry remark that things were going well; French says the morbol must be controlled by the tempered sylph.
- JA テンパードのシルフに操られているのか！ ‘Is it being controlled by the tempered sylphs!?’ English makes a wry remark that things were going well; Japanese asks if the morbol is controlled by tempered sylphs.
Claxio
N-No...not stinky one! Stinky one is scary! Stinky one's stink makes this one's head go spinning!
Yda
Ick! [name]―Papalymo and I can handle this beast. You take care of the sylphs!
Papalymo
There's something not right about this morbol. Ignore it and focus your attacks on the sylphs!
Yda
Hurry up, Papalymo―I can't bear this stench any longer!
Papalymo
I'm doing the best I can! If we dispatch the sylphs, surely...
Komuxio
One of these ones named Claxio ventured outside Little Solace alone. Alone is unsafe! Helpful one must find Claxio!
Claxio struck west after leaving the settlement. Hurry before Claxio ends up in the belly of a beastly one!
Speak with Claxio.
Claxio
What? Walking one wants this one to return to Little Solace? Don't make this one laugh!
This one is weary of living with those who are not these ones. This one wants to be alone.
- FR C'est que je ne veux plus vivre avec les Sylphes, c'est terminé ! ‘It's that I don't want to live with the Sylphs anymore, it's over!’ English says Claxio is weary of living with non-sylphs; French says he no longer wants to live with the Sylphs.
These ones rely on walking ones for everything. No better than those ones that summoned a primal one! Small wonder this one chose to leave!
This one thought this a likely place to build a home. But then meddling one arrives─forces this one to go deeper into the forest. Meddling one is forbidden from following this one! Away with meddling one!
Speak with Komuxio.
Komuxio
What? Claxio refused to return to these ones, and went deeper into the forest!?
B-But this one saw touched ones lurking in the forest! Helpful one must hurry─hurry and find Claxio!
Helpful one should search for spools of thread on the forest floor. Those things will lead helpful one to Claxio. But hurry! Hurry, before touched ones take Claxio away!
Find Claxio.
Claxio
Meddling one is back!? This one told meddling one to be gone! Tell Komuxio that this one will never go back! Never!
T-Touched ones? Touched ones should go away too! This one is good one! Every one should just leave this one alone!!!
Papalymo
Be on guard, [name]. These sylphs have been tempered―brought under the thrall of the primal Ramuh.
Akin to the Amalj'aa tempered by Ifrit, these sylphs exist only to serve their deity.
Yda
They'll not answer to words―only steel. I take no pleasure in this, but it must be done.
- FR Il faut absolument qu'on arrache le pauvre Claxio des griffes de ces vilains légumes sur pattes ! ‘We absolutely must snatch poor Claxio from the clutches of these nasty vegetables on legs!’ English voices reluctance about fighting; French mocks the sylphs as nasty vegetables on legs.
Claxio
Th-This one is...safe? This one was so scared...
Defeat the tempered sylphs!
Report to Komuxio.
Komuxio
Claxio! This one has been worried! So very worried! Is Claxio unharmed? Still in possession of wits?
Claxio
K-Komuxio? And meddling one as well... Why are these two here?
Komuxio
These two came to rescue Claxio! That Claxio is safe fills this one with joy!
Claxio
Komuxio...forgive this one. This one did not mean to run away from Little Solace. This one was just...afraid.
These ones who live at Little Solace were changing─becoming friendly with other ones.
This one feared that these ones were forgetting who these ones are...like touched ones did. But this one was wrong. This one can see that now.
Meddling─er, helpful one. This one is grateful. This one will return to Little Solace to be with Komuxio and friendly ones.
Papalymo
Well, that should see to that. What say we return to Little Solace as well? I, for one, could do with a nice, hot bath.
Komuxio
This one thought Claxio was lost forever. Helpful one saved Claxio―now these ones can be family again.
This one has known many walking ones―even many kind walking ones―but helpful one is kindest and strongest of all. Helpful one is a hero to these ones.
Helpful one will bring these ones and walking ones closer together―this one knows. This one would take helpful one to see elder one.
But elder one is... Elder one is...
