Frithrik 	[Player Name], you've come at a good time.
Frithrik 	Lobb was telling me about a young woman stricken with a most unusual combination of symptoms.
Lobb 	She's been having frequent dizzy spells, much like I was. But if that weren't bad enough, there's something wrong with her eyes. The whites have gone all yellow!
Frithrik 	Yes, as far as I can tell, the dizziness is due to a certain “thinness” of the blood, while the discoloration is a sign of jaundice.
Lobb 	She's been like this for a long time, and she's understandably reluctant to go outside, which isn't doing her much good, either. Is there something we can do for the lass?
Frithrik 	Well, those ancient tomes might have something to say on the matter. Lobb, follow me!
Frithrik 	I have a feeling we'll be needing your help, too!
 	
Lobb 	Without your help, I don't think I would ever have recovered. If there's anything you need from me, just say the word.
Lobb 	When it comes to history and medicine, I'm all at sea!
 	
Frithrik 	I believe the information we seek should be in this section. Would you mind checking over there?
Mervyl 	Bloody hells! So much for peace and quiet...
Frithrik 	Mervyl, what a surprise to see you here! I never pictured you as much of a reader.
Mervyl 	I'm not here for my own enjoyment!
Mervyl 	And as for you, Lobb, I thought you'd have more sense than to throw in your lot with these two.
Lobb 	Mervyl, for once in your life, would you shut up and listen? They're the reason why I'm up and walking again. Don't you see? Frithrik was right!
Mervyl 	Is that so? Be that as it may, we should leave healing the sick to the professionals!
Mervyl 	They've got their duties and we've got ours. Are you fishers or not!?
Lobb 	Hmm... He never was one for civilized debate, but he only wants what's best for our people. At least, what he thinks is best, at any rate.
Lobb 	He's been around long enough to remember the days when starvation was all too real a threat.
Lobb 	That's why Mervyl and the rest of the old guard are not like to agree with anything that might lead to fewer fish being caught. The younger ones will be more likely to support your cause, though.
Lobb 	To be honest, I can't see your talk of balanced diets winning their support. But there must be a way to get through to them...
Frithrik 	I'm sure there will be time to think about that once I've found a treatment for your friend.
Lobb 	I appreciate what you're doing for her, but why don't we have the curators look for the information instead?
Lobb 	In the meantime, we can concentrate on getting some of the other fishers on your side.
Frithrik 	Hmm... I tried that before, but they weren't interested in any of my ideas.
Lobb 	Can you blame them? They're not culinarians or chirurgeons, they're fishers. I think they'd be a lot easier to persuade if you can prove you're worthy of being their leader.
Lobb 	Perhaps you could try catching something they've never seen before, like a calico trout. That'd impress them.
Frithrik 	Yes, that might work! Now all we need to do is locate and catch one of the most elusive fish in the history of our art. Hmm... It's no easy feat, that much is certain.
Frithrik 	And to make matters worse, the last known sighting of a calico trout was in Il Mheg, which until now, I have gone to great lengths to avoid.
Frithrik 	Perhaps you could come with me, [Player Name]?
Frithrik 	Since you seem to be on good terms with at least one pixie, they may decide to leave us alone long enough for us to hook our prey.
Lobb 	Pixies!? Rather you than me! Anyway, once I've asked the curators to lend us a hand with these books, I'll keep an eye on things at the Mean. Someone's got to take care of the place while you're away!
Lobb 	Frithrik is already at the waters by the House of the First Light. You'd better catch up before he gets himself into trouble.
 	
Frithrik 	This place is a lot more pleasant than I was expecting, and I haven't been accosted by even one pixie thus far!
Frithrik 	You don't think they'd play any mean tricks on us, do you?
Frithrik 	If it's all the same to you, I'd like to catch that fish as soon as possible and get back to the Crystarium.
Frithrik 	We might even be able to get this done more quickly if we make it into a friendly competition. The first one to deliver a calico trout to Lobb is the winner!
 	
Frithrik 	I'll admit, I can't escape the feeling we're being watched. Is it still paranoia if you're right?
 	
Frithrik 	Wh-What!? You've already caught one? I thought I'd offer a bit more resistance in our little contest, but I'll be joining you back in the Mean after I've caught one for myself.
Frithrik 	I have a feeling I'll get a bite any moment now!
 	
Lobb 	So, how did it go?
Lobb 	As I live and breathe! It's...magnificent.
Frithrik 	Lobb! I caught one too!
Lobb 	Of course, I'd expect nothing less from the head of the Facet of Fishing!
Lobb 	Anyone who doubted you will be put firmly in their place when they see what you've caught.
Frithrik 	I hope you're right. If all goes according to plan, we'll be able to get a few of the younger members to go after the rarer species in your stead.
 	
Lobb 	Yes, and that'll give me more time to help here with giving assignments and seeing to deliveries, which in turn will make it easier for you to show your face down at the Source a bit more often.
Lobb 	Mervyl and his cronies will find it a lot harder to ignore you that way. Once they see you're taking care of the day-to-day running of the Facet of Fishing, they're more likely to lend you an ear, and maybe even a hand.
Lobb 	But before all that, there's a certain young lady in need of help. Maybe the curators have dug up the information we were after?
Frithrik 	Goodness me! I have to admit that had all but slipped my mind! I'm lucky I have you here to remind me.
Frithrik 	I'll go ahead to the Cabinet of Curiosity, but we'll send word if there is anything that requires your assistance. I shall see you anon!
