Dialogue
Accepting the quest:
Soroban: Now, in order to reach the shores of Othard, you will need to cross the resplendent waters you see before you. However, this is easier said than done.
Soroban: To set forth without making the necessary preparations is to invite the Confederacy to claim your vessel─and your life should you resist.
Soroban: But this fate can be avoided by paying the Ruby Tithe, thereby earning you the blessing of the pirate lords.
Soroban: So─let us go and greet them. Our destination is the isle to the west.
Lyse: That doesn't look very far to me. [Forename], why don't we jump in and swim for it? I've had my fill of boats.
Soroban: Hmm, an excellent idea! I think you shall find the water to your liking.
Soroban: I will use my ship to deliver those less inclined to the isle.
Speaking with Lyse:
Lyse: Right, this should be easy! And a good way to loosen up before the next fight, whenever it comes.
Lyse: Twenty gil says I beat you there!
Speaking with Soroban:
Soroban: Ah, there you are. I trust you enjoyed yourselves.
Soroban: Follow me, my friends. The one with whom we must speak is a man named Tansui.
Speaking with Tansui:
Tansui: ...I fear you have the advantage of me.
Tansui: Most honorable and esteemed [Forename] [Surname]. I am Tansui, a humble mate who serves at the pleasure of the Confederacy's captain.
Tansui: As you are in the company of the shellback, I presume we have business to discuss...
