Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Tesleen: Alisaie has been desperate to see you, [Forename], so let's get you to her sooner rather than later! 
Tesleen: The Inn isn't too hard to find, really─you can actually see the top of the rock spires from here. 
Tesleen: We just need to swing around the ridge, then head south. Come on, I'll get my supplies together and meet you outside! 

(Optional)
Cassard: Take care with your desert crossing and good fortune with meeting your friend! I'll be around when you're ready to head back to the Exarch.

Talking with Tesleen

Tesleen: All set? Oh, I should probably mention the wildlife...
Tesleen: While most of them will leave you be if you keep your distance, the local coyotes have learned to prey on folk heading home from the markets. 
Tesleen: I can usually swing a sword well enough to fend them off, but I may have loaded myself down with too many bargains today...
Tesleen: Do you think you can handle any beasts that try to make a meal of us? 
Tesleen: I thought you might. Alisaie was always saying how much y─ Um, I mean, let's get going, shall we?

(Optional)
Tesleen: Speak of the curs...!

Speaking with Tesleen

Tesleen: Sorry, there wasn't much time to shout a warning. Were you bitten? Those things can be nasty. 
Tesleen: And yet hardly a match for you, it seems! I'd always thought Alisaie was strong, but in her mind, she was never...hmmm. Now it makes sense. 
Tesleen: Ahem, well we should push on! It might be best if you scout ahead and clear out any coyotes that have our scent.  
Tesleen: I'll wait here so you can fight without any distractions!
(Optional)
Tesleen: It might save time if you could head down past the ridge and clear out any coyotes lurking nearby.

Talking with Tesleen

Tesleen: Oh, thank goodness you're back. I could hear the howling and snarling from here... Frightful creatures. 
Tesleen: Let's hope the rest have seen your handiwork, and know to avoid us now. I need to get these supplies back to the Inn!

Talking with Tesleen

Tesleen: This is it! Thanks to you, I didn't have to drop my shopping even once! Come to think of it, I'm glad I didn't make the trip alone... 
Tesleen: It seems you ended up escorting me! I'll have to repay the favor somehow, but first, let's head inside, shall we?

Cutscene

Tesleen: Welcome to the Inn at Journey's Head. You might be our first visitor from the Crystarium since Alisaie arrived. 
Tesleen: It's not much, but it's home for the afflicted and a handful of carers.

< What will you say? >
< The afflicted...? >
< This illness isn't contagious, is it? >

< The afflicted...? >
Tesleen: You...don't know?

< This illness isn't contagious, is it? >
Tesleen: Contagious...? Well, no, not as far as we know.  

(Both)
Tesleen: I don't think I've met anyone besides Alisaie who was so unfamiliar with our situation here. Most folk have grown up knowing someone who knew someone... 
Tesleen: Hm. I might leave out something obvious, so it may be best to have Alisaie give you the full explanation.
