**Fina:** Let me guess, you can find the best tailor and tanner at the Workshop. You're here to tailor a suit for Christmas, aren't you?
**Carel:** Where do you get your strange ideas from? I just want to order some common clothes. I never expected they were short-handed. They can't make more than fifty to that date, I'm really disappointed.
**Shopkeeper:** Isn't fifty enough?! Are you going to put an order for the entire army?
**Carel:** Well... Of course not. \*Cough cough\*... I have to check the other shops, allow me to take my leave then...
*[Carel leaves]*
**Fina:** It seems Knight Carel is deliberately keeping a distance from others. He always finds an excuse to leave after a quick word or two. To be honest, I've still never had the chance to really get to know him.
**Shopkeeper:** Yes, and there was something strange about him today. I don't think he wants us to know who those clothes are for.
**Fina:** It's just, because he doesn't want us to know, I am just that much more curious. What should we do?
*[Tavern Boss enters]*
**Tavern Boss:** Heh, why don't you just ask me? I overheard his and the tailor's conversation.
**Shopkeeper:** Wow, the innkeeper! Your information really is the best. But it feels a bit wrong getting information from someone who overheard their conversation...
**Tavern Boss:** Haha, I don't care about that! There's nothing wrong with listening in on others to satisfy one's curiosity.
**Fina:** Okay, okay. Let's get back to what's important, who are the clothes for?
**Tavern Boss:** You won't be able to guess it. This cold and fierce looking knight has a heart of gold and he's actually very cute.
**Fina:** What? Seriously? Don't leave us hanging, out with it!
**Tavern Boss:** Heh, this batch of clothes is for the children at the orphanage. Christmas is nearing and the days are getting colder. He's worrying that the children will be cold and want to buy each one of them a fur-lined jacket, a pair of gloves and a pair of leather boots.
**Tavern Boss:** That's why he also sent someone in secret to check how many children there are, and their measurements. It's a real shame the tailor is at it's most busy this time, there's no way they have the time to make that many.
**Shopkeeper:** Who would've known that Knight Carel was such a lovely and caring person? Why doesn't he normally show it? And it's obviously a good thing, why is he sneaking about with it?
**Tavern Boss:** People like him are truly worthy of respect. Not requiring the appreciation of others but helping them in silence, he's very kind.
**Fina:** I know! Seeing as the tailor won't be able to make a set of clothes for all the orphans, we could always help supply the rest. Knight Carel is bound to be overjoyed.
**Shopkeeper:** Yes, and the orphans will be happy as well. Then that's what we'll do, let's get to work!
### Quest End

**Carel:** So you are the ones who donated all the clothes to the orphanage. Ah, how come you know that?
**Fina:** Haha, we were found out!
*[Tavern Boss enters]*
**Tavern Boss:** I'm sorry, actually I was just passing by and happened to hear you talking with the tailor. It's all my fault!
**Carel:** ...
**Shopkeeper:** I'm sorry, don't blame her. It's our fault for asking her to tell us. Actually, we were all moved by your kindness and wanted to help too, so we donated some more clothes.
**Carel:** ...
**Fina:** Yes, so now the children at the orphanage have clothes to wear, isn't that great?
**Carel:** You're right, that's what's important...
*[Carel takes off his helmet]*
**Carel:** ...
**Shopkeeper:** !! (Wow, he's taking off his helmet!)
**Tavern Boss:** !! (Wow, I didn't know Knight Carel was this handsome!)
**Fina:** !! (Wow, I finally got to see his face!)
**Carel:** I must thank you on behalf of the children.
**Shopkeeper:** It's... \*Gulp\* nothing. You're the one they should be thanking. If not for you, we would never have known there were so many people in need.
**Carel:** There are so many good people in the world, at least these children will be able to have a warm Christmas.
**Fina:** Yes! But benevolence makes one feel much warmer than both leather shoes and fur-lined jackets.
**Carel:** That's true. If we would've gotten this help during those years, then perhaps...
**Shopkeeper:** What did you say?
**Carel:** No-nothing...
**Tavern Boss:** By the way, as thanks to their mysterious benefactor, the children gave me this blueprint of Christmas Socks as thanks. Come see, isn't it beautiful!
**Fina:** How can Knight Carel be someone who makes their own cotton socks to wear? I'll accept this gift on his behalf!
**Carel:** ...
