A Practiced Greeting

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* Ronitt has decided that you and he are friends, and as such, the young dwarf takes your advice to improve his greetings to heart. Still uncomfortable with the idea of approaching his fellow villagers, however, Ronitt rushes off to find an alternative practice partner...
※Please note that the difficulty of this quest has been synced to your current level.
* Ronitt locates a malfunctioning Talos on which to test a hearty “lali-ho,” but, despite his best efforts, he cannot overcome his self-defensive instinct to twist greeting into insult. The Talos, meanwhile, does not take well to this barrage of hostile blather and chases after the stammering dwarf. It seems your new friend is in need of rescuing.
* The enraged golem falls at your feet, defeated. Ronitt, however, has failed to notice that the battle is over.
* You shake Ronitt from his terror, but a fresh wave of frustration sends him stumbling off into the distance. Find the discouraged dwarf, and /rally his spirits.
* Expressing disbelief at your relentless kindness, Ronitt nevertheless seems willing to work on his stunted sense of social grace. With you at his side, he may just yet muster the courage to perform a “lali-ho” worthy of a dwarf.
==Objectives==
* Speak with Ronitt.
* Defeat the cracked Talos.
* Aid Ronitt.
* /rally Ronitt's spirits.

Ronitt 	Oh! So, ah... This means we're friends now, right?
Ronitt 	Th-That's good, then. It's just...I've never had a friend before. I'm not sure where to go from here...
Ronitt 	Th-There's no need to be shy! I mean, me, I've never had a friend before, so I... I'm not sure where to go from here...
Ronitt 	I was wonderin', though. Why did my mother bring you to see me?
Ronitt 	Was it all her idea!? Is that why you're bein' so nice to me!?
Ronitt 	Hmmm...
Ronitt 	...I guess even if that was true, you're no less of a good sort for agreein' to it! Heh heh.
Ronitt 	Aye, I know my mother worries about me bein' alone all the time. But I can't even talk to her without gettin' defensive! How can she expect me to get along with anyone else?
Ronitt 	You've met lots of folk on your travels, haven't you? If you've some tricks to help me talk to the other villagers, I'd like to hear 'em!
Ronitt 	...You know, this might be the longest conversation I've had in a good while─must be because we're friends now, eh? Heh. Heh heh heh!
Ronitt 	Aye... In that case, I will need your help after all. I don't think I could stand to have anyone else watchin' over me.
Ronitt 	Hahaha! You do have one of the best “lali-hos” I've seen, so with you guidin' me maybe I've got a chance to improve!
Ronitt 	But I can't skip straight to greetin' people...and spendin' time on my automata is what caused me problems in the first place.
Ronitt 	No, my only option now is monsters─preferably one what's shaped like a person!
Ronitt 	Come on, then! I'm off to find me a practice partner!
 	
Ronitt 	That twitchy lad there should do the trick! As long as I don't make myself a threat, he shouldn't have a reason to attack us.
Ronitt 	<cough> H-Hey! You there! Two-legs! Look at me when I'm talkin' to y─ Wait, that's not right. The greeting. Gotta practice the greeting...
Ronitt 	Lali... Lali- <cough>
Ugh, my hands are shakin'...
Ronitt 	Lali...hey! You big lump of useless golem garbage!
Ronitt 	Oops...
Ronitt 	...I-I didn't mean it! I take back that “garbage” bit!
golem 	Bwoaaarrrgh!!!
Ronitt 	Argh! This was not part of the plaaaaaan!!!
 	
Ronitt 	<sob> I'm sorry, I made a mess of things...
Ronitt 	Grrr! Damn it all to the deepest mine shaft!!!
Ronitt 	Why!? Why can't I do it!? I'm a bloody dwarf, ain't I!?
 	
Ronitt 	Y-You came after me... You really are a kind soul, ain't you?
Ronitt 	...And I'm still kind of a prickly sort. But I do dream of helpin' the other villagers with my smithin' skills─just like the great Watts did.
Ronitt 	It's just that I've spent my whole life tinkerin' with automata instead of learnin' how to speak to folk. I've always been awkward...
Ronitt 	And that got worse when I realized people were avoidin' me. It made me angry─made me throw up walls and shut others out. Then it wasn't long before no one would come anywhere near me...
Ronitt 	<sob> Soon you'll have to leave too, and then I'll be all alone again!
Ronitt 	You... You're still tryin' to help me!?
Ronitt 	Aye, but maybe you're right. A clumsy “lali-ho” what lets folk know I'm open to bein' friendly might be better'n no “lali-ho” at all.
Ronitt 	You... You're still tryin' to help me!?
Ronitt 	...I suppose I could give it another try─a clumsy “lali-ho” might be better'n no “lali-ho” at all.
Ronitt 	Right! My mind's made up!
Ronitt 	I can do this! Be the dwarf I need to be! ...You'll be there with me though, right!?
Ronitt 	I'll never be a proper dwarf...
