I really appreciate the samples of Drana and Dragel, Daeva. I know they weren't easy to get.

I'm not ready to publish anything yet, of course, but real progress is being made--mysteries are being unraveled.

And it's all thanks to you, Daeva.

• "I live to serve."

I would like to introduce someone to you to settle my debts.

Do you know Shoshinerk from the Tigraki Workshop? You can find him in the Artisans Hall.

When we last spoke, he revealed a deep interest in Drana.

The Tigraki Workshop works with Balic materials, so that’s probably where the interest comes from.

She’s interested in working a trade with you.

• Accept.
• Decline.

Tell Shoshinerk I sent you. She’ll know what it’s about.

Of course she’ll have some hoops for you to jump through.

It will probably involve a fair amount of patience and discomfort in sadly unequal portions, but it should pay off handsomely.

• "Thanks for the tip!"

It appears that Shoshinerk is interested in Drana. Visit her at the Artisans Hall.

What brings Daeva to Shoshinerk, nyerk?

Daeva has tidbits on Balaur tidbits, akakakak?

Tell Shoshinerk, and much profit will be made, nyerk.

• "Creusa thought we might do business."

This Shugo heard Daeva found Drana and Dragel for Creusa, nyerk.

Shoshinerk is curious!

Have good reward if Daeva procures materials for me. Shugo's honour, akakakak!

Creusa said he was able to continue his research thanks to the samples you obtained, and offered to introduce you to Shoshinerk as a way of saying thanks.

He admitted working with Shoshinerk might mean performing some onerous tasks.

When you went to see Shoshinerk at Artisans Hall, she told you she'll give you something good for getting her the materials she wanted. Shugo's honour.
