Dialogue
Accepting the Quest
Strong—willed Wife: Of all the useless... You there, have you seen a timid mouse of a man cowerin' in a corner somewhere? Strong—willed Wife: I'm talkin' about my husband─clumsy, overcautious clod that he is. Strong—willed Wife: All I asked was for him to bring some shellfish back for dinner, and he's been gone for bloody hours! Strong—willed Wife: I hate to inflict my troubles on a stranger, but if you're headed down to the beach and spot my good-for-nothin' husband, tell him to get a move on with the main course! (Optional) Strong—willed Wife: If you find yourself down on the sands for whatever reason, please keep an eye out for my missin' husband. Just look for the bloke what's shakin' at his own shadow.
Finding the hesitant husband
Hesitant Husband: Wh-Who are you? Wh-What do you want with me? Hesitant Husband: The wife's wondering where I am? H-Has it been that long...? Hesitant Husband: <sigh> I tried to dig up one of those tideclams that she likes─a good-sized one, too─but a claw shot out from under the sand and almost clipped my arm off... Hesitant Husband: Say, you seem the capable sort. Do...do you think you could lend me a hand? Hesitant Husband: Oh, thank you! You should be able to find the spot I was digging not far from the water. Just watch out for those snippers! (Optional) Hesitant Husband: The clam I was trying to get was over there, closer to the water. We'll be feasting well tonight if you can claim it from those ghastly claws!
Delivering the oversized tideclam to the hesitant husband
Hesitant Husband: Y-You're not missing a limb or anything, are you? <Hand Over Oversized Tideclam> Hesitant Husband: Yes, look at the size of this thing! My wife will be well pleased. Hesitant Husband: She'll be mad that I had to ask for your help, but...ah, it'll be worth it when she sees the prize you claimed. Hesitant Husband: In fact, I'm sure she'll want to thank you in person. Come on─let's head back to the village!
(Optional) Hesitant Husband: Th-Thank you again, [miss/sir]. I might still be floundering about on the sands if it weren't for you.
Reporting to the strong–willed wife
Strong-willed Wife: My apologies, stranger─it seems my husband caused you more trouble than I expected. Strong-willed Wife: Aye, you're a proper pain in the posterior, you are! Here, take this and drop it off at the Leaky Keel! Strong-willed Wife: I hear you slew some shelled monster what came between him and that clam. A good thing, too─if he'd stood his ground, I'd be buryin' whatever parts of him was left. Strong-willed Wife: Thank you... The man has his faults, but strike me if I don't love him all the same. Strong-willed Wife: Now, I'd best be makin' somethin' to fill his belly when he comes back. A nice thick clam stew, I reckon!
