Ziabosta 	Ah! You're just in time!
Kaishirr 	So, is our new singer's costume ready?
Ziabosta 	It certainly is!
Ziabosta 	We haven't had an awful lot of time to practice, but she's showing all the signs of becoming the Beehive's next star! In fact, the Queen Bee himself has already given her his seal of approval.
Anfrigg 	Still, it was Kai-Shirr who discovered her. Perhaps you've finally found your calling in life?
Kaishirr 	Are you pulling my leg?
Kaishirr 	No, I ain't cut out to manage musicians or nothing! All I did was a bit of asking about to find her, then her singing voice did the rest. Besides, if it weren't for [Player Name] bringing the materials, she wouldn't have that lovely dress!
Singer03730 	Yes, I've never seen anything so pretty in all me life! I feel like a princess! But I wouldn't even be here in the first place if you hadn't given me this chance.
Singer03730 	I just hope that I can repay you for everythin' you've done for me. Thank you, from the bottom of me heart.
Ziabosta 	Oooh! I think you've made quite the impression on her!
Kaishirr 	Eh? I dunno what you mean. I'm sure she'll do very well, though.
Kaishirr 	'Course, we can't stop there! We need to find more customers, but I'm not sure where to try next...
Anfrigg 	Since you've already covered most of Kholusia, maybe we should try elsewhere?
Ziabosta 	Right. There are only so many people on this island that would be interested in a place like the Beehive.
Kaishirr 	A couple of ideas spring to mind, but I need a bit more time to mull them over. If you come and find me later on, I should've worked something out.
Kaishirr 	All right, I'd better put my thinking cap on!
 	
Anfrigg 	Most folk in Kholusia have barely enough money for life's essentials, never mind luxuries like the entertainment we offer.
Anfrigg 	Having said that, we've made efforts to cater to a broader clientele, which has increased our earnings considerably. As I'm sure you'll agree, Kai-Shirr has been the driving force behind it. We have a lot to thank him for.
Ziabosta 	Alphinaud said that where he comes from, these kinds of song draw large crowds, and that some of the fans can be very enthusiastic.
Ziabosta 	If we could hold concerts, we'd be able to attract a whole new type of customer. Kai-Shirr's not the only one around here with big ideas, you know!
 	
Kaishirr 	I've managed to turn my ideas into something resembling a plan, but I'm still working on the finer details.
Kaishirr 	Like we was saying, most of the people in Kholusia who'd consider coming to the Beehive have been here by now. And a fair few of them even came back! But that means that if we want more customers, we'll have to bring them in from elsewhere. Which is to say across the seas.
Kaishirr 	Thing is, even if they like the sound of the place, they're hardly gonna jump on a boat just to come and watch a few dancers and sip a bit of wine!
Kaishirr 	We need a faster, more convenient way for them to get to Eulmore. Ah, you look like you've worked it out. So, what's the answer to all our problems?
 	
Kaishirr 	Eh? I suppose that would work if we're only thinking of a handful of people, but I'm hoping for a lot more than that!
Kaishirr 	Not to mention they'd either need to be experienced amaro riders or have one with them as a guide. That's why I thought of something much better: airships!
 	
Kaishirr 	Ha ha! As the saying goes, “Clever people think of the same things”! Or at least, I'm pretty sure that's it... Anyway, is that a brilliant idea or what!
 	
Kaishirr 	There is one problem, though. A long time ago, there were flights from Eulmore to all sorts of places, but that ended with the Flood. Sin eaters made it impossible to fly anywhere, until Vauthry came along, that is.
Kaishirr 	I went and asked Master Chai whether we'd be able to set up an airship route between here and the Crystarium. Poor bloke's got a lot on his plate, but he was kind enough to say he'd consider it.
Kaishirr 	As a matter of fact, I'm about to go and see him again now. Do you reckon you could join me? Seeing as you're familiar with the Crystarium and all.
Kaishirr 	Great, let's get going! The place is the army headquarters, and we're supposed to make ourselves known to Colden.
 	
Kaishirr 	Can't say I really know this Colden bloke, but Master Chai seems to trust him.
 	
Colden 	What can I do for you?
Kaishirr 	We're here to see Master Chai.
Colden 	About the airships, right? We've been looking into the feasibility of such a proposal, and I believe we now have all the information we need. He'll be here in a moment to inform you of his decision.
Chainuzz 	Ah, Kai-Shirr, my good fellow. Terribly sorry to have kept you waiting.
Chainuzz 	Why, if it isn't [Player Name]. I'd heard you'd been helping at the Beehive─and I can think of worse places to spend one's time─though I wasn't aware that you'd be joining us this evening/today/today/this evening.
Kaishirr 	Um, Master Chai, I heard that you'd made up your mind about the airships...
Chainuzz 	Don't worry, lad, I haven't forgotten! I must say, your timing could not have been more fortunate, as we are currently involved in talks with the Crystarium as to how we may better our relations.
Chainuzz 	I put forward your proposal to establish airship routes between our two cities, and they agreed to it there and then!
Kaishirr 	Blimey! I can't believe it!
Chainuzz 	Now, before we get carried away, there are one or two small problems that must be addressed first.
Chainuzz 	Colden, if you'd be so kind as to explain.
Colden 	Yes, sir. The Eulmoran Army has in its possession a number of airships, all in perfect working order.
Colden 	But being designed for military use, they are austere things that offer very little in the way of comfort. Considerable work will be required to convert them for the proposed purpose.
Colden 	While we have a rough idea as to how the interior might be refitted, I'm afraid we haven't the expertise to carry out the work ourselves. We will require the assistance of trained artisans.
Chainuzz 	Indeed...
Chainuzz 	Unfortunately, given all the outstanding work in the city, we are experiencing a shortage of artisans at the moment. I'm not sure when we can assign people to the airships.
Kaishirr 	If it's artisans you need, I can take care of that.
Chainuzz 	But where do you expect to find them?
Kaishirr 	I was thinking of trying down at Venmont Yards. While they might be shipwrights and not...airshipwrights, they should be able to deal with a lot of the bigger tasks.
Kaishirr 	I expect we'll be needing a few extra interior walls and doors to make proper cabins. And from what I hear, they'll be glad for the work.
Chainuzz 	Of course! Why didn't I think of that?
Kaishirr 	And with [Player Name] in charge of the more delicate work, those airships'll be ready before you know it.
Chainuzz 	And what sort of assistance would you be providing?
 	
Kaishirr 	[Player Name] here is an artisan herself/himself! One of the best, in fact.
 	
Chainuzz 	Surely you jest!
Chainuzz 	Not only are you a peerless warrior, able to best even the likes of General Ran'jit...you are telling me that you have other talents?
Chainuzz 	Bally hells... If you're even a fraction as good at that as you are at smiting evildoers... Say, would you be interested in joining Daedalus Stoneworks by any chance? We could use more skilled folk such as you.
Kaishirr 	M-Master Chai! I don't mean to be rude, but [Player Name] already has a job helping me at the Beehive!
Chainuzz 	Th-That s/he does... Forgive me, I had forgotten myself. I wouldn't dream of poaching [Player Name] from you.
Chainuzz 	That being the case, perhaps the two of you could cooperate with Colden until the work has been completed.
Colden 	Here is an outline of our improvements we wish to carry out. If you can provide the listed parts and materials, we soldiers can deal with the heavy lifting.
 	
Chainuzz 	Well, it seems you have the matter well in hand, so I will return to my own duties. I look forward to seeing the fruits of your labors, my young entrepreneur.
Kaishirr 	We won't let you down, sir!
Chainuzz 	I must say, I am rather surprised to hear about [Player Name]'s hidden talents. We all need a hobby, I suppose!
Chainuzz 	And on that note, I bid you farewell.
Kaishirr 	All right, [Player Name], it seems like we've got our work cut out for us. Let's head back to the Beehive and take a closer look at what needs doing first.
 	
Colden 	To think that the airships that once bore soldiers to war will bring civilians to entertainment... How times have changed.
 	
Kaishirr 	Master Chai caught me a little off guard offering you a job, but knowing what you're capable of, I hardly blame him.
Kaishirr 	Of course, I couldn't let him have you yet. We need your talents for the stuff in Colden's plans.
Kaishirr 	Metal plates, canvas, grease... It's a list as long as your arm. And not just the standard ones neither, it's all the fancy, hard-to-find sorts. And cushions! Bugger me, you'd think they'd have enough of those around Eulmore as it is. Why can't they just borrow some?
Kaishirr 	Well, I said we'd take care of it, so we should get started. I'll have a word with the lads at Venmont Yards, while I leave you to get stuck into the rest.
Kaishirr 	It's a bit of a tall order, I know, but you're up to it, right?
Kaishirr 	Ha! 'Course you are! Let's give Master Chai and the people of Eulmore something to smile about!
Quest complete.	Quest complete.
