Hidden
Lore Sylphs do not use names when they talk. They call themselves 'this one' and others by a trait, so 'walking one' means any person of the player races.

Accepting the quest

Blaisette

Ahhh! I shan't get a wink of sleep until I find out who it was!

Hear my tale, adventurer! Last night, upon returning from my patrol, I caught sight of a child playing atop the roof. Fearing for the little one's safety, I called out, but the child promptly vanished.

Now, we haven't received word of any missing children, but if there were even a chance... Were it not for my duties here, I would be out searching now. Might I trouble you to climb to the roof and investigate in my stead?

  • FR J'ai peut-être rêvé, mais j'aimerais bien en avoir le cœur net... ‘I may have dreamt it, but I would like to get to the bottom of it...’ English notes no children were reported missing; French says she may have dreamt it.
  • JA 私の見間違えであったのなら、それでいい。 ‘If I was simply mistaken, then that is fine.’ English notes no children were reported missing; Japanese allows that she may have been mistaken.

Deliver the small cane to Blaisette.

Blaisette

Ah! You have returned! Tell me all that you have learned!

...Hm? Found this cane atop the roof, you say? 'Tis far too small for our use. I'd wager it belongs to one of the sylphs of Little Solace, the settlement to the east.

Well, I suppose that solves the mystery. It would seem that the “child” I saw was in fact a sylph. And I was so worried...

At any rate, we should return the cane to its rightful owner. Please take it to a sylph named Dellexia in Little Solace─she will know what to do with it. And while you are there, tell her in no uncertain terms that her people should not wander the forest at night.

  • FR Et je suis sûre que son propriétaire en a besoin... ‘And I'm sure its owner needs it...’ English wants the sylphs firmly warned off the forest at night; French only says the owner surely needs it.
  • JA きっと杖を失くして、困っているだろうからな。 ‘They must surely be in trouble after losing the cane, after all.’ English wants the sylphs firmly warned off the forest at night; Japanese sympathizes with the cane's troubled owner.

Deliver the small cane to Dellexia.

Dellexia

What brings walking one to the abode of these ones?

Walking one brings cane! This one was looking under every leaf and flower for cane. This one's heart is full of joy.

  • FR Il doit appartenir à un de mes compagnons ! ‘It must belong to one of my companions!’ English Dellexia was searching for her own cane; French says it must belong to a companion.
  • JA きっと、わたぴの仲間が落っことちたのでふっち。 ‘One of my friends must surely have dropped it.’ English Dellexia was searching for her own cane; Japanese says a friend must have dropped it.

Walking one is kind, like seedseeing one. This one likes kind ones.

This one will be friend to kind one. Kind one has this one's word!
