Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Injured Sekiseigumi Blade: Ugh... <pant> I must...get word to my brother. But these wounds... I cannot.
Injured Sekiseigumi Blade: You... You don't look to be one of them. I take great risk trusting you, but I've no other choice. Nor the time. Please, hear me out.
Injured Sekiseigumi Blade: I am a blade of the Sekiseigumi, and I <wince> came under attack by a foreign devil while on patrol. I fear my fellow blade may meet with the same fate if not warned.
Injured Sekiseigumi Blade: I... I will survive. <grunt> But my Sekiseigumi brother must be told of this attack. He patrols an alley off Kogane Dori. Please, go with haste.

Speaking with the Sekiseigumi Blade

Sekiseigumi Blade: What do you want of me?
Sekiseigumi Blade: My brother blade? Attacked by a foreign devil? And one so skilled as to injure one of the Sekiseigumi's most gifted... Rushing after this fiend on my own would be rushing to my own death.
Sekiseigumi Blade: I would ask your help in this. Use this milky white salve on the injured Sekiseigumi blade that sent you to me. For my part, I will send for reinforcements from the barracks.

Using the milky white salve on the inured Sekiseigumi blade

Injured Sekiseigumi Blade: Did you see word to my brother blade?
<Using Milky White Salve>
Injured Sekiseigumi Blade: He sent you back with this salve? <groan> Thank you. And thank the gods he is safe.
Injured Sekiseigumi Blade: Worry not. My pain is mostly gone. My apologies for pulling you into this. But I see now I was right to trust you.
Injured Sekiseigumi Blade: As I told you, my attackers hail from across the seas. Violence is forbidden in Kugane, but those from abroad have little love for our laws.
Injured Sekiseigumi Blade: My brother blade and I broke up their illicit dealings some time ago. No doubt they did not take kindly to that. My guess is they gathered their gil and hired an assassin.
Injured Sekiseigumi Blade: Little did they know, we Sekiseigumi are not so easily killed. I hazard my brethren blades have already hunted these scoundrels down and gaoled them by now.
Injured Sekiseigumi Blade: You did us a service this day. As one who wears the haori of the Sekiseigumi, on behalf of us all, I thank you.
