Jude 	Aha, [Player Name]! Just the woman/man I wanted to see!
Jude 	I have another request to make of you. Would you be up to the task?
Jude 	Thank you!
Jude 	I need for you to craft what is to be the heart and soul of the starlens.
Jude 	You see, an ordinary telescope picks up on starlight, whereas the starlens captures aetherial flickers.
Jude 	This requires what is known as an aetherial lens. While, of course, materials of a high grade are important, it is the craftsmanship that determines quality─to which I turn to you!
 	
Jude 	Have you managed to finish the aetherial lenses? These are what will allow us to pick up on the aetherial firmaments in the distance.
 	
Jude 	Thank you for your help, [Player Name]! We are now a step closer to completing the starlens!
Jude 	Magnificent! Even to the untrained eye, it is easy to see the craftsmanship is second to none! With this aetherial lens, we will be able to detect even the most distant of aetherial bodies!
 	
Jude 	Once again, I am indebted to you. We are still in the early stages of our journey, but I hope we can continue to press forward with the same amount of fervor.
Jeromere 	Jude, sequestering yourself in such confined quarters will eventually take a toll on your mental health. Come, there is fun to be had in the outside world!
Jude 	And what, exactly, does this “fun” you speak of entail?
Jeromere 	Allow me to illustrate. I began this morning with a splendid cup of freshly brewed coffee from the Last Stand. Shortly thereafter, we all gathered at Auk's Landing to perform a public poetry recital!
Jude 	I have no poems to recite...
Jeromere 	'Tis the spirit that counts! Poetry will help you learn to express yourself more fully, Jude. In fact, why don't you give it a try right now? Make sure you really put your feelings into it!
Jude 	...I suppose I can give it a try, if it means I can become a bit more like you...
Jude 	A soul shrouded by the dark abyss
The tears that pour forth as blood-stricken rain
Solidify the poison that nestles in my heart
The world returns to nothingness...
Jeromere 	...Er, I regress...perhaps you need not delve so deeply into your feelings...
Jeromere 	That aside, now you've had a taste of what our sessions entail and what it is like to live every day to the fullest!
Jeromere 	With your grades and brain, changing faculties should be fairly straightforward. By my next visit, I expect you'll have joined the Faculty of Literature and our poetry club!
Jude 	While I know Jeromere intends well, abandoning my studies in pursuit of literature would mean relinquishing my dream of locating the Azure Star...
 	
Jude 	You're absolutely right! The whole reason I joined the Studium and this association was to see my goals through!
Jude 	Thank you for always being so supportive and returning me to my senses.
Jude 	P-Please do not yell! You know I scare easily...
Jude 	That said, do I always appear so frazzled to you? Or perhaps this is your way of encouraging me...?
Jude 	Either way, I joined the Studium and this association for one reason and one reason only. I cannot give up!
Jude 	I just wonder why Jeromere is so unrelenting in his attempts to have me withdraw from my studies... I do not understand. Astronomy was his first love...
Jude 	Though we were momentarily sidetracked, I would like to thank you once again for your help. I am eager to continue our work together!
Jude 	With you by my side, the resolve in my heart has hardened, and I feel as though the strength of a chocobo rages within me.
Quest complete.	Quest complete.
