[ Mousy as ever, but certainly able to stand on her own two feet. That's good enough for him. ]

You seem to have recovered since our last encounter. Was your ailment a curse?

[ Seemingly not feeling the same way, he turns to face Kisa. It's proper, not to mention the way out of the store. ]

Your apology is unnecessary. That curse was not your doing.

What reason do I have to be mad after what I've just told you?

I came to look for this.

[ He holds up the bottle. ]

Boiled white vinegar is useful for polishing armor and other things.

. . . No. Not today. This is for something else.

I am aware.

[ Those are simple and understandable reasons. Why this specific quest? Upon remembering the other quests that have recently populated the forum, he finds himself nodding: The alternatives are more ill-suited. ]

. . . Very well. If it is your wish to be thrown into the harbor water, you will have it.

[ It would be far simpler to run an offensive party through with a lance and be done with it, but Shen Qingqiu probably wouldn't prefer this method. ]

No. [ There's a thoughtful pause. ] Not until now, I suppose.

[ Say that to Renne first! ]

There is no glory to be found in throwing a man into the harbor, but you make a convincing argument. I trust that you've come prepared?

[ Because as soon as he gets the okay, he's going to throw Shen Qingqiu over and into the water. ]
