Uncertainty

Is Neinheart looking for my father without telling me? Maybe they were looking before I came here. Either way, he should have told me!

I have to go talk to him about it right now.

(If you accept, you'll travel to Ereve automatically.)

I kept the information about your father to myself because I thought it would wound you. Now I see that it has, and that it will only fester until it is cleaned and treated properly. If you will occupy yourself for a short time, I will find a way to provide the treatment you've forced me to administer.

Wait, I need to think this through. If I ask Neinheart, he'll know I saw the document. But I can't figure anything out on my own...

Mihile, so good to see you. Kiku tells me you were instrumental of the clean-up after the rather unfortunate mess that was the monster pen debacle.

I'm gonna be straight with you, Neinheart. I saw the documents you were looking for. I know you're looking for my father and I want to know why you didn't tell me.

We have all the grace of a charging bull, don't we? Yes, I'm looking for your father. Or more specifically, I was looking for YOU. Do you have a problem with that? Would you rather I left you to waste away under the watchful gaze of a vitriolic fossil?

Don't try to dodge my question with big words. Why didn't you tell me?

Because, my simple store clerk, I thought you might actually begin ENJOYING your life here in Ereve. Your father is nothing but a spark in the back of your mind that will burn down the life you are attempting to build.

I don't like you deciding what's best for me. I don't... I don't even know if he IS my father. I don't remember anything about him...

You are a fool if you think you are not Chromile's child. I was uncertain myself, until the Empress set eyes on you. But you must understand that it is my JOB to make decisions about what is best for people. It is what I do best.
