Alisaie 	I'll admit I had my doubts, but this is a “blessing” worthy of the name. One cannot help wondering what other magicks the Kojin possess...
 	
Lyse 	If this is Sui–no–Sato, then Shiosai, the overseer, should be around here somewhere...
Alisaie 	I daresay one of the locals will be able to point us in his direction.
Alisaie 	Though...now that I look around, I get the distinct impression we are not welcome here...
 	
Lyse 	In a place like this, it's hard to tell where the important people live. I mean, everywhere has a sea view...
 	
Alisaie 	Soroban called him the overseer. One can only assume he is some sort of leader in the community...
 	
Lyse 	So...this is our man?
Shiosai 	...Leave this place and never return. We have no need of wide-eyed wanderers.
Lyse 	Sorry, I didn't mean to stare. My name is Lyse, and these are my friends, [Player Name] and Alisaie.
Lyse 	We're looking for the overseer of Sui–no–Sato, Shiosai. That's you, isn't it?
Shiosai 	...The Kojin of the Blue sent you hither, did they?
Shiosai 	I am no overseer, nor ever would I claim to be one. I am high priest of Shisui of the Violet Tides. Shiosai.
Lyse 	So you are the man we're looking for! Great! We need your help. We're looking for this jewel called the Yasakani–no─
Shiosai 	Stop. I will hear no more.
Shiosai 	We will suffer no outside troubles in our sanctuary. Especially those of would-be treasure hunters.
Isobe 	<chirp> <chirp>
Shiosai 	Quiet, Isobe, or there will be no dango for dinner.
Shiosai 	Ahem. I can do naught to aid you. I say to you again, leave this place and never return.
Alisaie 	...At the very least, sir, you might condescend to tell us of your village, and of why you are so loath to show us even the most basic courtesy.
Shiosai 	...Sui–no–Sato is our sanctuary. Under the benevolent leadership of the Ruby Princess, sovereign of Shisui, we Raen enjoy humble yet fulfilling lives. But it was not always so.
Shiosai 	Long ago, our forebears were driven from their ancestral lands. Beneath the waters, they sought refuge from the ravages of war, and here they flourished. All that we are─our culture, our traditions─was born of the sea. As was I.
Shiosai 	Though we have engaged others in diplomacy, it has ever been with the utmost caution. Isolation and independence are essential to preserving our way of life.
Shiosai 	So it was when Doma fell twenty-five years past. The Ruby Princess, in her wisdom, decreed that we would take no part. As it was, so ever shall it be.
Alisaie 	Forever and ever apart...
Forgive me. I understand now how highly you value your way of life, and how you will suffer none to endanger it.
Alisaie 	You may be assured that we have no desire to do so. And I would hope that we have given you no cause to assume otherwise.
Shiosai 	...You have not. But this changes nothing.
Shiosai 	Regardless of your intentions, it is not my place to break with tradition.
Shiosai 	I must consider the wishes of all who call Sui–no–Sato home. For me to defy their will and permit outsiders to remain would be a gross betrayal of my responsibilities. Please do not ask this of me.
Alisaie 	...Thank you for your time, sir.
 	
Lyse 	Everywhere we go it's the same. “Go away, we don't want any.” You'd think I'd be used to it by now, but some stupid part of me just can't help hoping for the best.
 	
Shiosai 	It is not for me to make exceptions. I am bound by our rules, as are you. Please, leave us be.
 	
Alisaie 	And so it continues. Another village, another deaf ear.
Alisaie 	Clearly, Gyr Abania is not the only place with walls.
Alisaie 	I'm starting to wonder if this was all a huge mistake. Gosetsu couldn't have known we would take this long. I only hope he's still alive...
