Alisaie 	This is what I get for sharing! Maybe I'll just head out on another patrol...
 	
Tesleen 	I'd love to lay out a welcome meal, but the duties I put off when I went to the market are still waiting for me...
Tesleen 	Argh! There are a hundred and one things that need doing! I'm sorry, but would you mind waiting here with Alisaie?
Alisaie 	What, and twiddle our thumbs while you work yourself to death? Surely there's something we can help you with?
Tesleen 	...I could do with a hand, it's true. Thank you. You can start by helping me sort out the larder, Alisaie.
Tesleen 	While we do that, could you tend to a few patients, perhaps? There are three in particular I meant to visit─it's just a matter of saying a few words to them, and seeing that their skin isn't caked in sand.
Tesleen 	Their names are Pawnil, Todden, and Halric. They may not give much in the way of a response, but I promise they'll be pleased to meet someone new!
 	
Alisaie 	I would speak more on the subject of sin eaters, but let's see these tasks finished first.
 	
Tesleen 	It will do them good to see a new face. There's not much in the way of novelty around here to distract them from their worries.
 	
Pawnil 	Th-Thank...you...
 	
Pawnil 	Y-You're Alisaie's...friend? That's...good...
 	
Todden 	......
Todden 	Todden glances up at you blankly, but you notice the tension in his face ease slightly.
 	
Todden 	......
 	
Halric 	......
 	
Alisaie 	Your work is done, then?
 	
Tesleen 	You've seen to the patients? How were they?
Tesleen 	...Good. That's good. I knew they would enjoy meeting you.
Tesleen 	I am concerned about Halric, though... I'll have to speak with the other carers, but I think his time may be near.
Alisaie 	We shall leave you to have that discussion, then. I was going to take [Player Name] to Mord Souq if you have any errands there that need doing...?
Tesleen 	Well, I suppose there is one thing...
Tesleen 	Would you pick up a nectarine from the markets, please? Cassard's caravan just passed through, so Rhon Ron should have some fresh fruit.
Alisaie 	Come, then, [Player Name]─there's something I want you to see. Right after we stop at Rhon Ron's stall, of course.
 	
Tesleen 	Hm? Oh, my jobs are all under control now, thank you. Go and spend some time with Alisaie.
 	
Alisaie 	Let's see about that nectarine, shall we?
 	
Rhon Ron 	Oho, back again, are you? You need another taste of Rhon Ron's wares?
Alisaie 	Actually, we're looking to buy a nectarine. Do you have any in stock?
Rhon Ron 	Oh, yes! Nectarines, peaches, grapes! Fresh and juicy!
Rhon Ron 	Hm... Given how richly you cracked your coinpurse with me, I might still owe you food... Here, take this one! Free of charge!
Alisaie 	Gods, I've never seen a Mord merchant give away something for nothing before. How much coin did you spend here...?
Alisaie 	Oh yes, I'll take a jar of honeyed worms as well.
Alisaie 	Hm? Oh no! They're not for me! It's...an offering of sorts.
Alisaie 	...Ahem, the worms, if you please?
Rhon Ron 	Only the best wrigglers for you! Come again, my friends!
Alisaie 	Right, that's our shopping chores taken care of. Let's head up past the aetheryte to the main tower─the view I want to show you can only be seen from its very top.
 	
Rhon Ron 	See you again soon! Your belly won't let you stay away!
 	
Mordguard 	<yawn> You need something?
 	
Alisaie 	Here are your precious worms. That buys us a trip to the top of the tower, does it not?
Mordguard 	<gasp> Glazed Wrigglers! You actually brought them!
Mordguard 	I really shouldn't let you, but...just this once, all right? Only once!
Alisaie 	Never fails. Shall we?
 	
Alisaie 	I'm glad I was able to show you that. When it comes to understanding the catastrophe which befell the First, one glimpse of the empty wasteland beyond the wall is worth more than an hour of Urianger's lecturing.
Alisaie 	And I needed you to know beyond a doubt that Tesleen has no other choice. The nectarine will be a kindness.
Alisaie 	It isn't just the threat posed to others... When a person becomes an eater, the pain appears to be excruciating.
Alisaie 	The carers are truly fond of their wards, and would spare them that suffering. It is their way of fighting back against a fate worse than death.
 	
Alisaie 	Go ahead. I think she's been waiting for us.
 	
Tesleen 	You're back. I hope you had a nice time. Did you...manage to find a nectarine?
Tesleen 	Thank you. Alisaie's explained why I wanted this, has she? I can see it in your eyes.
Tesleen 	But we may not need it just yet. I spoke with the others, and we've decided to keep an eye on Halric for now.
Tesleen 	Thanks to you, though, if his time does come suddenly, we'll be ready to send him on his way with a taste of happier days...
