Time to Shine

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker.
==Journal==
* The snowball cakes you made with Rudy have been packed along with Mother Miounne's other gifts and shipped to Bentbranch Meadows, where they are to be delivered to the children. You, Rudy, and Rissai make your way to the Shroud to seek out Baenfaeld, the celebrant in charge of the task.
※Please note that you will be unable to complete this quest after the seasonal event has ended. For details, please check the Lodestone.
* Upon seeing the sheer number of gift boxes entrusted to your care, Rissai suggests splitting the task, that you might more swiftly place presents into the young ones' hands. You resolve to follow the ever-eager Rudy and keep watch over him as he passes out his handmade snowball treats.
* Rudy gives a gift box to every child he meets. While some are skeptical at first, their faces light up when they see, smell, and taste the delightful and delicious seasonal treats. The children's joy is reflected in Rudy's elated expression at seeing his confections bring so much happiness to those around him. His job done, it appears the little yeti has something to say to you.
* Rudy appears to be expressing his satisfaction at being able to serve as one of the saint's little helpers this Starlight. With all the presents safely in the hands of the children, you set out to return to Baenfaeld, who will surely be happy to hear how well this year's gifts were received.
* You and Rudy reunite with Rissai and Baenfaeld, but there is unfortunately little time to celebrate your success, as Rudy's brothers─a monstrous pair of yetis─burst into Bentbranch Meadows, intent on taking him back home. Rudy, however, has a thing or two to say to them. With your encouragement─and a confidence altogether new to him─he proudly tells them of how he created the greatest snowball cakes of his life, and helped spread joy to the children this Starlight. One taste of the treats in question is all it takes for his brothers to see how far Rudy has come, and they apologize for treating him so poorly all these years. Finally accepted by his family for who he is, it appears Rudy is ready to return to the mountains.
* Rudy is beside himself with gratitude for the role you played in making his first Starlight experience such a memorable one. Much to his delight, the Saint of Nymeia has also left him a letter praising him as the finest little helper of the season. Moved by how far your little friend has come in such a short time─if sad that you must say goodbye─you and Rissai wish Rudy well as he follows his brothers back to their home in the mountains. With nothing left to do here, it is time to report back to Amh Garanjy so that she, too, can take pleasure in your exploits.
* Amh Garanjy gives her sincerest thanks for everything you did for Rudy. Moved by his hard work and determination to spread joy to everyone around him, she feels the joyous spirit of the Starlight Celebration burn with a renewed vigor within her. His job here done, Rissai, ever the wanderer, bids you farewell and sets off in search of exotic lands and delightful desserts. For you, however, the festivities are still in full swing, as Amh Garanjy informs you that none other than the Saint of Nymeia himself would have a word with you in person.
==Objectives==
* Speak with Baenfaeld at Bentbranch Meadows.
* Speak with Rudy.
* Speak with Rudy again.
* Speak with Baenfaeld.
* Speak with Rudy.
* Speak with Amh Garanjy at Mih Khetto's Amphitheatre.

Rissai 	As one of the saint's little helpers, it's Rudy's job to bring presents to the children and put smiles on their faces. And it's our job to help him!
Rudolph 	Yip! Yip yip!
Amh Garanjy 	Well, I do believe it's time to deliver presents to the children. You're still willing to help out, yes?
Rissai 	It would be our pleasure─Rudy's most of all. And we'll be there to support him all along the way.
Amh Garanjy 	Excellent! On to business, then! My fellow celebrant, Baenfaeld, has been placed in charge of this task. Seek him out at Bentbranch Meadows, and he'll tell you everything you need to know.
 	
Amh Garanjy 	Head over to Bentbranch Meadows and tell Baenfaeld I sent you. He'll tell you just how you can go about putting smiles on the children's faces.
 	
Rissai 	I say, does Rudy not look a bit distressed to you? Can't say I blame him, of course. Being one of the saint's helpers is a lot of pressure for a little yeti.
 	
Rudolph 	Yip... Yip...
 	
Baenfaeld 	'Bout time ye showed up! Amh mentioned that ye might be helpin' out─an' believe me, we can use all the help we can get.
Rissai 	Then you will have ours! My yeti friend Rudy, [Player Name], and I, Rissai, are more than happy to aid.
Rissai 	Though I must say, Mother Miounne truly outdid herself this time. Just look at all these presents! Might I suggest that we split the duties, that we might deliver them to the children in a more efficient manner?
Rissai 	[Player Name], why don't you take a batch and go with Rudy? Meanwhile, I'll get started from the opposite side.
Rudolph 	Yip! Yip yip! Yip yip yip yip yip yip yip!
Rissai 	Dear me. Rudy's so raring to go that it might be best to stand aside a bit and leave him to it. It would do wonders for his confidence, and I'm sure the children would delight in getting a gift from a seasonally fitting snow creature.
 	
Baenfaeld 	These treats ye brought us are simply scrumptious! Bite-sized with a crispy crunch and jus' the right amount o' sweetness... Ye best keep an eye on me, or I'll eat the lot!
 	
Hungrygirl04469	I'm hungry! I hope our presents come soon so we can go home and eat...
 	
Timidboy04469 	I want a present, too, but... That man standing in front of them looks like he could eat me.
 	
Rudolph 	Yip! Yip yip!
Timidboy04469 	P-Please don't eat me!
Rudolph 	Yip!
Hungrygirl04469	A present? For us? Why, you must be one of the saint's little helpers!
 	
Hungrygirl04469	Wow, these look absolutely delicious! And I was just thinking about how hungry I was. Lucky me!
Timidboy04469 	Are you sure these are safe to eat? I suppose they must be, or that adventurer would do something about it. Anyhow, thank you.
Hungrygirl04469	Thank you, fluffy little helper! We'll be sure not to eat them all at once!
Rudolph 	Yip! Yip yip!♪
 	
Hungrygirl04469	These are so tasty! Better than anything my mum could make.
 	
Timidboy04469 	These little snowballs are so sweet and crunchy... Thank you, little helpers!
 	
Boredboy04469 	All I got for Starlight last year was a tattered, hand-me-down hat... Then again, I suppose I should be grateful I got anything at all.
 	
quiet girl 	I wanted to go into the city to see the Saint of Nymeia, but Mother told me it's too dangerous to go alone. Doesn't she realize I'm not a baby anymore?
 	
Rudolph 	Yip! Yip yip!
Boredboy04469 	M-M-Monster! You─adventurer! Do something!
quiet girl 	Wait! I think it's holding something... What have you got there, little friend?
quiet girl 	Are those...presents for us?
Rudolph 	Yip!
 	
Boredboy04469 	Snowballs made of sugar? I've never seen anything like these before.
quiet girl 	They look so good! And I'm going to tell all my friends I got them from the cutest saint's helper of them all!
Boredboy04469 	They smell delicious. Thank you very much for the gift, little helper! And you, too, Missus/Mister Adventurer!
Rudolph 	Yip! Yip yip!
Boredboy04469 	Those snowball sweets were so good!
 	
quiet girl 	I can't believe I got to meet one of the saint's little helpers! And that he was so fluffy!
 	
Rissai 	Behold, Rudy! The children simply adore the gifts you gave them!
 	
Rudolph 	Yip yip!
 	
Baenfaeld 	Ye should be proud o' yerselves. Yer snowball sweets're the talk o' the town, and not just among the wee ones. Ye've brought us all a Starlight miracle this year!
Wood Wailer 	What the─!? Yetis! Yetis in the ranch! Take cover at once!
Baenfaeld 	Trouble at the south gate!?
Baenfaeld 	What in the seven hells is goin' on?
Wood Wailer 	I...I know not from where, but a pair of most fearsome yetis just stormed through the gates!
Largeyeti 	Grrroooooowrrr!
Rudolph 	Yip? Yip yip. Yip...
Rissai 	Hm? Oh. Oh dear. Yes, I see...
Rissai 	Lend me your ears, friends. There is no need to panic. Our large friends here haven't come to attack us. These are simply Rudy's siblings, come to take their little brother home.
Baenfaeld 	Yer a lucky little yeti to have such good family worryin' after ye, Rudy. Er, even if they do look like they're about to pummel ye...
Rissai 	I cannot deny that they are somewhat...disgruntled. They disprove of the fact that Rudy allowed himself to be “captured” so easily.
Baenfaeld 	Captured? Think he can't fend for himself, do they?
Rudolph 	Yip? Yip yip...
 	
Rudolph 	...Yip!
Largeyeti 	Grrroooooowrrr!
Rudolph 	Yip! Yip yip yip!
Largeyeti 	Grrrowr!?
Rudolph 	Yip! Yip yip yip! Yip! Yip! Yip!
Baenfaeld 	Well? What're they sayin'? Did they sort it out?
Rissai 	Oh, I'd say! Our little friend Rudy corrected them in scathing terms.
Rissai 	He told them of the delicious snowball treats we made together, and how the children's faces lit up when we gave them their presents. He further added that he may be small, but he's proud as can be of what he accomplished─and shan't let anyone belittle him any more!
Rudolph 	Yip yip?
Rissai 	Say, Rudy. How about letting your brothers try your snowballs? A taste is worth a thousand words, after all.
Baenfaeld 	Aye, nothin' like sharin' tasty treats to bring a family together.
Largeyeti 	Grrr... Grooowr!
Rissai 	Well, isn't that nice of them? Rudy's brothers just apologized for how they've treated Rudy all this time. They said they're proud to call him a brother, and that he is more than welcome to join in their snowball fights from now on!
Rudolph 	Yip! Yip yip yip!
 	
Rissai 	Rudy's brothers have finally accepted him for who he is. Turns out all he needed was a little help and support. Isn't that right, [Player Name]?
 	
Baenfaeld 	Perhaps little Rudy had even more support than we thought. Aye, it's the damnedest thing, but I just can't shake the feelin' that there's someone else watching over us...
 	
Rudolph 	Yip! Yip yip yip!
Rissai 	Rudy says that he intends to return with his brothers to their mountain home, and that he so very much enjoyed his time with us. He only wishes he could have properly thanked the Saint of Nymeia before he left...
Baenfaeld 	I wouldn't worry about that. Aye, I reckon the saint heard ye clear as can be. Look! This was sittin' by those tasty morsels ye made. It's a letter─from you know who.
Baenfaeld 	Dear Rudy,
Your delightful little snowball treats simply sparkled with festive Starlight spirit. I daresay you were the finest of all my helpers this season! Ho ho ho!
Rissai 	Do you hear that, Rudy? It would seem the saint was watching you work the whole time!
Rudolph 	Yip? Yip yip! Yip!
Rudolph 	Yip yip! Yip? Yip yip yip! Yip yip...
Rissai 	Oh, Rudy... Of course we will miss you too.
Rissai 	[Player Name]. Rudy says that were it not for us, he never would have realized what he was capable of, or found the confidence to stand up to his brothers.
Rissai 	He says that everyone he met here was so incredibly kind that he was able to make the best snowballs he's ever made.
Rissai 	And finally, he says thank you, [Player Name], for making this such a miraculous, memorable experienceーone that he will cherish for the rest of his life!
Rudolph 	Yip yip!
Rissai 	Fare thee well, Rudy! And promise that you'll come back to see your friends again someday, yes?
Baenfaeld 	Back home ye go, then! Take care o' yerself out there.
Baenfaeld 	Aye, it'll be lonely here without the little guy...
Rissai 	Worry not, my friends. Your paths may very well cross again someday. After all, we never know what fate has in store for us.
Rissai 	And with that, we had best return and report to Amh Garanjy. I suspect she'll be thrilled, if sad to hear that Rudy has gone away home...
Baenfaeld 	Amh'll be overjoyed to hear of yer success. I'd go with ye, but as ye can see, I've got me hands full with gifts still...
Rissai 	Go on, [Player Name]. Tell her everything that happened with Rudy.
 	
Amh Garanjy 	All done handing out presents, are you? Thank you very much! And good work, Ru─ Wait...where's Rudy gone off to?
Amh Garanjy 	Home with his brothers? But I didn't get a chance to say goodbye! Oh, to ruffle his fluffy fur one last time...
Rissai 	You were quite fond of the little fellow, weren't you?
Amh Garanjy 	Of course! Who wouldn't get attached to that adorably pouty little face?
Amh Garanjy 	...But if he's happy now, that's all that matters. Allow me to thank you both once more.
Amh Garanjy 	Not just for your help with the festivities, but for everything you did for Rudy as well. You helped him find the confidence he needed to make his siblings accept him.
Amh Garanjy 	Why, if Rudy's exploits don't fill you with the spirit of Starlight, I daresay nothing willーas a matter of fact, I myself am feeling more enthusiastic about the Celebration than ever!
Amh Garanjy 	And as head celebrant, I will do all in my power to spread smiles and joy with as much passion as Rudy did!
Rissai 	I, too, very much enjoyed the time we spent together. Truly, it was full of new experiences to look back upon fondly. Isn't that so, [Player Name]?
Rissai 	Yet I fear the time has come for us to part ways. After all, I've lands to traverse, people to meet, and sweets to eat!
Rissai 	I very much hope to see you again someday. And who is to say? Should you ever find yourself in a pinch with a beast again, I may very well appear to lend an ear. Farewell!
Amh Garanjy 	Thank you, truly. I know it isn't much, but please take this as a humble token of my appreciation.
Amh Garanjy 	And believe it or not, the saint himself has expressed an interest in meeting you. No doubt he wishes to thank you in person! Whenever you have a moment, pray say the word.
