An Indispensable Ally

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* Left to his own devices, Lord Emmanellain is likely to cause all manner of trouble─this Lady Laniaitte knows from experience. Therefore, your first course of action will be to assign him a duty which will keep him distracted for the duration of your visit. Inform the young noble that he is to keep watch for Dravanian outflyers.
* Though disappointed that Lady Laniaitte did not see fit to tell him personally, Lord Emmanellain accepts the orders as well as can be expected. Now that you have privacy, explain to Honoroit, Lord Emmanellain's manservant, that he must ensure that the young lord stays focused on his duty.
* Honoroit is astute enough to read between the lines and promises to keep his master out of harm's way. Let Lady Laniaitte know that all has gone according to plan.
* Were it not for the close relationship between House Haillenarte and House Fortemps, Lady Laniaitte would not feel obligated to spare Lord Emmanellain's feelings. Clearly, this is not the first time she has had to go to such lengths...and it is almost certainly not the last.
==Objectives==
* Speak with Emmanellain.
* Speak with Honoroit.
* Speak with Laniaitte.

Laniaitte 	While I understand Count Edmont's intentions, I would rather not waste valuable time ensuring that the young lord doesn't get trampled underfoot.
Laniaitte 	True, it is entirely possible that he may learn something from this experience...but if left to his own devices, I think it far more likely that he will make a mess of things.
Laniaitte 	Tell him...tell him that I would like him to keep watch for...Dravanian outflyers. Then, when you have a moment to speak with his manservant in private, make it clear that it is his responsibility to keep Emmanellain from shirking his duty.
Emmanellain 	Ahhh, my lovely Lady Laniaitte! I shall win your heart yet!
Honoroit 	My lord, pray do not do anything rash...
 	
Emmanellain 	Hm? A request from Laniaitte? Why didn't she think to ask me in person? Surely she must see me standing here but a few yalms away...
Emmanellain 	Oh, never mind. What is it?
 	
Emmanellain 	A m-mission!? Yes...yes, of course! That is why I am here. I shall do as my lady asks!
 	
Emmanellain 	Oh, is that all? No “leading the van against a beast tribe stronghold” or some such? Well, it is a rather droll task, but who am I to deny her? I shall begin at once!
Emmanellain 	Well, that's rather childish of you.
Honoroit 	I must say, is it me, or is the air here a bit...uhhh...
Laniaitte 	Remember to stress that this is a task vital to the continued survival of Camp Cloudtop─or something to that effect.
 	
Honoroit 	Ah, Mistress/Master [Player Name]. I do not believe I have properly introduced myself. My name is Honoroit, and I serve at the pleasure of Lord Emmanellain.
Honoroit 	...Lady Laniaitte would have me accompany Lord Emmanellain on his mission!?
Honoroit 	Ah, I understand completely. I will do my utmost to keep him out of harm's way.
 	
Laniaitte 	Were he of another house, mayhap I would not feel obligated to go to such lengths to preserve his safety and dignity...
Laniaitte 	In any case, I appreciate you speaking to him for me. It would seem he actually listens to you─at least, more so than others.
Laniaitte 	Or mayhap you are more skilled at this than most. Aye, I suspect you have had to humor your fair share of difficult men before.
