Lyngsath 	Oi, [Player Name]. Yer jus' the lass/lad I was lookin' fer.
Lyngsath 	Which is to say, ye be the lass/lad what Latisha was lookin' fer. She's in need o' some practiced 'ands, an' ye've got the only ones she'll trust. Well, 'sides mine, o' course, but I've got me own matters to attend to.
Lyngsath 	Take fair warnin', though, [Player Name]: the better ye get, the more others'll turn to ye. 'Tis a fine feelin', bein' relied upon, but it can be a right pain in the arse, too. Anyroad, enough o' me prattle─run along an' find out what Latisha wants.
 	
Latisha 	My thanks for agreeing to help, [Player Name]. Now, I will tell you the details of your task, but I must ask that you keep it in the utmost confidence.
Latisha 	The Admiral is scheduled to host an afternoon tea for visiting dignitaries, and the Bismarck has been called upon to provide the repast and refreshments.
Latisha 	I have been charged with conceiving the menu, and require help making a few sample dishes. I would be grateful if you could prepare a blood currant tart, a serving of pastry fish, and a cup of chamomile tea─all of the finest quality.
Latisha 	As a woman of the sea, the Admiral drinks liquor like most folk drink water, but the same cannot be said of her guests. Hence the afternoon tea as opposed to, say, a dinner banquet.
Latisha 	Alas, we know little and less of their tastes besides that, so I am forced to consider a wide variety of options. It has proven to be quite a task, but with your help, I am confident that we can serve up a menu to please.
 	
Latisha 	How are the items I requested coming along? Lest you forget, it's a blood currant tart, a serving of pastry fish, and a cup of chamomile tea that I need─all of the finest quality.
Latisha 	Ahhh, such a tantalizing medley of aromas! I cannot wait to sample each one!
Latisha 	You have outdone yourself yet again, [Player Name]. As soon as our guests seat themselves at table, their noses will be enticed by the rich, relaxing fragrance of chamomile.
Latisha 	Having taken a warming sip of the tea, their attention will turn next to tart and pastry. For an instant, they are at a loss, as both dishes are prepared with such loving detail. Is this mere food to consume, or art to admire?
Latisha 	They feel a twinge of sadness that they must deface such beauty, but that sensation is short-lived. For no sooner do their teeth break the flaky crust than they experience a veritable symphony of tastes and textures.
Latisha 	The making of pastries and sweets demands not only a delicate hand, but artistic sense besides. And you, [Player Name], are possessed of both. I can recommend you to the Admiral without reserve.
Latisha 	I owe you an apology and an explanation─I wasn't being wholly forthright with you. While I am indeed tasked with conceiving the menu for the Admiral's functions, it was also my job to select the guild member who will serve as her chef.
Latisha 	And I am thrilled to inform you that that honor shall fall to you, the woman/man who passed my test with flying colors! There is no doubt in my mind that you will represent the Bismarck admirably. Keep up the fine work, and be close at hand for when the Admiral has need of you.
