Dialog

Maru: One of our new recruits has been takin' his sweet time with his delivery...

Maru: He ain't irresponsible, just...not the best conversationalist. You think you could check in on him an' make sure he's alright?

Maru: He's probably loiterin' nervously around the Great Work somewhere. Give him a nudge in the right direction if he ain't makin' progress.

Frightened Alchemist:

Frightened Alchemist: B-By the Sisters! This man just snuck up on me and started shouting! What does he want? I'm terrified to ask!

Nervous Rider: Er! Erm!...Aaah!

Frightened Alchemist: S-Stop shouting at me! Just tell me what you want and leave me be!

Nervous Rider: N-No, I didn't mean--! Th-The boss always says to s-speak up, so I just--! Er!

What will you say?

• You: Pause. Now take a deep breath.
  • Nervous Rider: D-Deep breaths? O-Okay...That...Oh, that feels better...Whooo...
  • Nervous Rider: I think I can take it from here, <gender title>! Thanks for your help -- an' tell Maru that I'll be back soon!
• You: You must speak confidently, man! From your diaphragm!
  • Nervous Rider: Y-You got it!
  • System: After several uncomfortable moments, it becomes clear that this method isn't working. Try advising him again.
• You: Eye contact is key. Steady, unblinking eye contact.
  • Nervous Rider: Y-You got it!
  • System: After several uncomfortable moments, it becomes clear that this method isn't working. Try advising him again.

Maru: So that's what he was up to...Thanks for steerin' him true.

Maru: His nerves can really get the better of him, but he's been downright stubborn about helpin' out with deliveries.

Maru: We'll keep him runnin' errands closer to home, but I hope you won't be averse to helpin' him out again, should he need it. I know it'd mean the world to him...
