Oswell
Boxes, crates, barrels... Lifting, moving, stacking... There's no end to it. I'm tired. So very tired.
Kikipu
Well, what is it, then? Come to try and scare me and these poor folk off our land again? Go on, do your worst. I'll not budge one step from this spot!
Oswell
Say, friend, do a hardworking stranger a kindness, would you? See this letter safe to Kikipu at the Silver Bazaar. I'd call on her myself, but I haven't the time, and I doubt these weary legs would carry me there even if I did.
Kikipu
Hammer beak tailfeathers and a letter? Dear gods, it's from Oswell! Have you seen him? Is he well?
Oswell
I'd like to send her something nice along with it. Could I trouble you to scrounge up, say, five hammer beak tailfeathers? Gods know you can find the beasts around here easy enough.
Kikipu
“Dearest Kikipu, It's been too long since I wrote you last. How have you fared since? As ever, I'm a slave to my trade, and sadly it hasn't seen fit to take me to or through the Silver Bazaar in some years.
Oswell
Kikipu's a dear old friend. She's called the Silver Bazaar home for...well, for far too long. There's been ill rumors of the place of late. I'd just like to make sure she's well, is all.
Kikipu
“I've heard it told the scum of Ul'dah have set their sights on your Silver Bazaar. It seems beyond saving... Really, how long do you mean to linger in that horrid hovel? Remember─some birds just aren't meant to be caged. Spread your wings and soar once more, Kikipu!”
Spread my wings and soar? By the gods... This... This is by far the most ridiculous letter I've ever read. And hammer beak tailfeathers? The dolt does realize he's sent the feathers of a flightless bird, doesn't he?
Well, Oswell can go bugger himself! I've no intentions of stepping one ilm from this hovel, much less soaring from it. It's my hovel, and I love it!
