Heart and Soul/Est: Sweet Baby Sis

Est: Sweet Baby Sis - C

Est	Hmm... No matter how I look at it, there’s more to this stone than meets the eye.
Nice day, isn’t it?		Peony
Est	Wah! W-w-wings? On your back? Wait, wait, wait... Are you a fairy? Like an actual fairy from a storybook?
Not quite. I guess we’ve never met before, have we? You must have been summoned recently. I’m Peony, a ljósálfr from Ljósálfheimr, the realm of dreams.		Peony
Est	I’m Est, one of the Whi—er, well, no. I run a shop in Altea. Nice to meet you!
Yes, it’s nice to meet you too! By the way, I couldn’t help but notice that stone you were looking at...		Peony
Est	Oh, that? It’s an amulet from my shop. It’s said to have slept in the arms of a dragon for three thousand years... And it can grant any wish!
Three thousand years? If it slept that long, then it must have had many dreams...		Peony
Est	I showed it to my sister Catria. She just called me gullible. And laughed! What does she know? It looks special to me!
Do you mind if I take a closer look?		Peony
Est	Sure, go ahead! Take your time. It’s for sale, so let me know if you want it!
How particular. It doesn’t seem like a dragonstone—the ones the manaketes all carry. Hmmm...		Peony
Est	What’s on your mind? You look so serious.
I think I sense a mysterious power from this amulet, Est.		Peony
Est	You do? Really?
Really. It’s not my imagination, that’s for sure. I’d really like to look into it. Can I borrow this for a while?		Peony
Est	I KNEW it wasn’t any old stone! And I want to know just what it is too.
If we ask the right Hero, we’re sure to find out more!		Peony

Est: Sweet Baby Sis - B

Peony	Est! There you are.
Peony! I was training with my sisters. Something’s up! I can tell by just looking at you. Spill! Wait, don’t tell me that the amulet I had is actually...special?		Est
Peony	Actually...yes!
You’re kidding!		Est
Merric	This amulet doesn’t appear to have any particular sorcery cast upon it, but I do sense a trace of magic.
There’s simply no way to test if this amulet was possessed by a dragon for three thousand years. I can say, however, that it has been in close contact with a powerful magical being for a very long time. Thanks to that, a trace of magical energy has seeped into the stone... It all fits rather nicely, doesn’t it?		Pent
Peony	I spoke to a few others too—Niime, Canas, Knoll. They all said that this stone is anything but ordinary.
Woah...		Est
Peony	Is something the matter? You look a little dazed.
Ah! Oh... Well, it’s just...a little tough to wrap my head around!		Est
Peony	Before, you said this stone is rumored to grant wishes, didn’t you?
Yes... Supposedly.		Est
Peony	I don’t know about that, but I did have a string of good luck while I was holding on to it. Normally, I give others pleasant dreams, but I had a lovely one of my own. And in the dining hall, they had my favorite fruit! I haven’t had any in ages...
Good luck? That’s incredible. I hope it’s true.		Est
???	Something that can make any wish come true, eh?
Balthus	Now THAT sounds interesting! How about you let me confirm for you whether it’s the real deal or not!

Est: Sweet Baby Sis - A

Balthus	Ah, Est! And Peony!
Hello, Balthus.		Est
Peony	So, how’d it go? Did the amulet work?
I’ll cut to the chase. This thing is the real deal! Probably.		Balthus
Est	You’re not kidding, are you? This amulet really grants wishes?
Eh, not quite. It doesn’t seem like it’ll grant any and every wish.		Balthus
Est	What does that mean?
I tucked it in my pocket and started making bets. On the small ones, I won. Mostly. Large bets... Well... Not so much.		Balthus
Peony	Let me get this right. What you’re saying is that it has a little power, so it bestows a little fortune?
Seems so. There’s no doubt at this point—the amulet has power. I don’t need an amulet, though. I prefer to rely on my own luck.		Balthus
Hilda	Are you sure? That doesn’t sound like the words of a man who’s bet and lost it all. Repeatedly.
Hilda! When did you get here?		Balthus
Hilda	It’s time for training, Baltie. Sorry about this big lug, ladies!
C’mon! I have a good feeling this time! Can’t we...		Balthus
Est	It’s the “real deal,” then...
Incredible, isn’t it? That it could bring forth good fortune?		Peony
Est	It is... Maybe it’s all thanks to this amulet that I survived my encounter with those pirates, and we made friends. What do you think?
You just might be right! Hee hee.		Peony

Est: Sweet Baby Sis - S

Catria	I never could have imagined that this amulet was so incredible...
Me either! But it does hold a mysterious power.		Est
Peony	I’ve heard a lot about it already... The Order of Heroes’ rumor mill is running at top speed!
Sure seems that way, doesn’t it?		Est
Peony	Who’s that trotting over now?
You are Est, I believe? The bearer of the remarkable amulet I’ve heard so very much about? The one that smooths one’s bumpy path through life, shall we say?		Oliver
Est	Uh... Did you want something?
Ah, yes! I am Oliver, duke of Tanas, a senator of Begnion, and a champion and ardent admirer of beauty!		Oliver
Est	Er, nice to meet you...
It is quite a beautiful thing, is it not? To grant fleeting, fickle wishes... You must give it to me, girl! None other is fit to be its guardian!		Oliver
Est	Uh, well... Actually... I don’t have it anymore.
You what?		Catria
Oliver	Surely no one else... Surely? Other than I... No!
No, I didn’t give it away to anybody. You know the cute little white owl perched on a branch? I offered up the amulet there.		Est
Oliver	An offering? The amulet? Why would you DO such a thing?
The amulet grants small wishes, right? But if enough small wishes are granted, that might amount to great happiness. I wanted to make sure the entire Order of Heroes could be happy, not just one person.		Est
Catria	Est...
Hmmm. If that’s the case, then I must withdraw with panache. May a bounty of wishes bless the beauteous.		Oliver
Peony	Well, that’s a relief. He seems to have gotten the picture.
I just hope that all of the Heroes find good fortune. And, of course, 【Summoner】 too.		Est
Catria	Well, I know that I feel lucky to have a little sister like you.
Me too, Catria! I feel lucky to BE your little sister!		Est
Peony	Even the smallest happiness is better than none. I hope that amulet can bring forth a lot of happiness.
Yes! My wish is that it brings a smile to everyone’s faces!		Est
