Hearty Hunter 	The great hunter returns. You did well taking on that Rathalos.
Hearty Hunter 	Though I must ask: was the battle grueling? Did the mountains sing with the sound of claws clashing with steel?
Hearty Hunter 	Ah, but of course. Perhaps battle with a high-ranking Rathalos would have put a bit of sweat on your brow.
Hearty Hunter 	Truly? I shudder to think what would have happened had you encountered a high-ranking Rathalos, then.
Hearty Hunter 	Piqued your curiosity, have I? Well, I can only tell you what I've heard.
Hearty Hunter 	They say there is a stronger brood of Rathalos that would make short work of your average hunter.
Hearty Hunter 	Mayhap that kitten friend of yours knows something of it. He was, after all, the one who originally posted a bill for the beast.
Hearty Hunter 	No need to worry over it now, though. I'd say you've earned a rest after your recent exertions in the Azim Steppe. When you're up for another hunt I'll be here, ready and waiting.
 	
Hearty Hunter 	The mighty hunter returns, and with her/his feline companion!
Felyne 	Feline!? How rude! I am a Felyne you dullard!
Hearty Hunter 	I...fail to see the difference...
Ahem. But that is neither here nor there. I asked [Player Name] to bring you here that we might learn the truth of these high-ranking Rathalos I recently caught wind of.
Felyne 	High Rank Rathalos? They're an older, much more powerful brood of wyvern...
Felyne 	Without sufficient protection, even the simplest of swipes is all it would take to rend a hunter in two.
Hearty Hunter 	If I didn't know better, I'd say you were talking about an elite mark. Yes, a challenge no self-respecting hunter can ignore!
Hearty Hunter 	It's settled, then. Are you ready, my friend?
Smithy 	Aye! Let's get to it!
Felyne 	Your enthusiasm is appreciated, but now isn't the time to be kitten around. To be purrrfectly plain, I'd rather not see another hunter charbroiled today.
