Maira:
- Well, this is a pickle. Whatever am I to─hm?
- Please tell me you're here to deliver a message from Kleon. You are a familiar, yes?
- Azem's familiar!? Oh, and I do like the name...“Player”!
- But if you belong to Azem, then what has become of our visitor from Amaurot? He was meant to arrive some time ago.
- Our wildlife subjects are accustomed to the presence of long-term observers, but when someone from outside of Elpis comes to visit, the reactions can be somewhat unpredictable...and occasionally violent!
- Would you be so kind as to track down Kleon and see that no harm has befallen him? Visitors don't wear masks, so he should be easy to spot!
- And if you do happen to find him in the process of being mauled, you have my permission to terminate the offending subject. Safety first!
Kleon:
- Thank you for taking the initiative! I wasn't sure about the etiquette of destroying a creature under observation...
- I am Kleon, recently arrived from Amaurot. I assume Maira sent you to fetch me?
- I see. Well, we had best not keep her waiting any longer. Fear not─I will avoid upsetting any more of the local inhabitants!
Maira:
- Player, thank you for seeing to the safety of our guest.
Kleon:
- Indeed, my hesitancy to act would have ended poorly had your messenger not been there to shield me.
Maira:
- And I'm certainly glad that she was. Now, shall we proceed to the business of the day? I believe you had some concerns regarding your personal creations...
Kleon:
- Yes. As embarrassing as it is to admit, I was worried that the concepts I registered with the Bureau of the Architect may not be fit for release into the wild.
Maira:
- Oh, you needn't feel embarrassed. You wouldn't be the first visitor we've had who's expressed difficulty in helping their “children” leave the nest.
- We can look in on them right now, if you like?
Kleon:
- I should like that very much, but I do have one request...
- When you swooped in to rescue me from that beast, I was treated to an impressive display of battle prowess.
- An entity with your strength and instinct would be the perfect candidate for evaluating the worth of my modest creations!
- I must insist that you join us!
Maira:
- What a fascinating notion... Yes, I quite agree with your assessment.
Kleon:
- Then we all go together. Whenever you are ready, Player!
