==Dialogue==
:Doolan: Don't get any closer to the temple. It's much too dangerous.
: Is there anything of note nearby?
:;(If there are Magical Crystal Ore Veins Doolan knows; Version 1)
:::Doolan: Ah, yes. I have encountered some ores nearby. I believe that they're called Magical Crystal Ores?
:::Doolan: I've heard that these Crystal Ores were formed under the influence of Ley Line energies. They are very hard to come by, and very few smiths know how to work them.
:::Doolan: You can go have a look if you're interested. I think their locations were...
:::Doolan: There. I've marked them out on your map. I mean, note-taking is a skill that every adventurer must have, no?
::;(Rich Ore Reserves nearby marked on the map)
:;(If there are Magical Crystal Ore Veins Doolan knows; Version 2)
:::Doolan: Now that you mention it, I did see a few shiny ores nearby. Perhaps they're some sort of Crystal Ore?
:::Doolan: You can go have a look if you're interested, I think they were located at...
:::Doolan: There, I've marked them out on your map. I mean, note-taking is a skill that every adventurer must have, no?
::;(Rich Ore Reserves nearby marked on the map)
:;(If there are no more Magical Crystal Ore Veins Doolan knows)
:::Doolan: I don't think there's anything of note nearby. If there had to be something... Well, Patchi's changed her hairstyle recently.
: What's happened?
::Doolan: It started off as just an issue of adventuring into the ruins — my specialty — but what does it matter now; it's become too layered and complex, and elusive.
::Doolan: Do you know the feeling? It's like, just when you think you can't see the wood for the trees, suddenly you see a ray of light in the darkness and things take a turn for the better; then out of nowhere the answer is right under your nose. But it morphs again as you try to get a handle on it and suddenly it's got this ephemeral, dream-like quality to it...
::Doolan: It's more subtle and ambiguous than an adventure — it's got this really strong romantic vibe, with a hint of danger...
:: What in the world are you talking about?
:::Doolan: I do apologize— I'm an adventurer, and in principle there's no significant difference between an adventure and a chance encounter, but I just can't seem to get a handle on this one.
:::Doolan: Ms. Patchi is rash and impulsive, so adventuring with her would be high-risk. I worry that she would get injured.
:::Doolan: But most importantly of all, neither adventures nor chance encounters last forever; in both cases, if you hesitate the opportunity will pass you by.
:::Doolan: She's so persistent that there's nothing I can do other than to try and make this chance encounter last as long as possible.
:: You seem like a shady character.
:::Doolan: Well, when one day you're traveling along and you suddenly come face to face with your destiny out of nowhere... Maybe it'll bring out the shady character in you, too.
:::Doolan: Adventuring is a romantic pursuit. When I do things like refusing to join the Adventurers' Guild because of their boring clothes, and stuff like that, it's all because I'm a romantic at heart.
:::Doolan: *sigh* It looks like it'll take both you and her some time to fully understand this feeling I feel... It's like an epiphany, but clouded somehow...
: Goodbye.
::Doolan: There is much more to an adventure than its destination alone, traveler.
==Event Dialogue==
===Invitation of Windblume and Windblume's Breath===
:Doolan: This is the time of the Windblume Festival, the season when dandelions float about in the wind.
:Doolan: I've always been looking forward to a time when I might express my love for my destined one amid a sea of billowing dandelions...
:Doolan: But I never expected Miss Patchi to be too absorbed in her research to understand a thing I was saying...
:Doolan: Nothing could be more boring than spending such a romantic festival buried knee-deep in books and ruins.
:Doolan: Who knows how long it'll take for her to understand these deep yet nebulous feelings of mine...
