1 <8498F528> lq1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Hello again! I see you have succeeded
in safely procuring our desideratum.
2 <3D0D76DD> d1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Yeah, uh, eventually...
3 <75433693> lq1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Now, please wait a moment.
I'll get the old belle fixed up
in no time.
4 <0C69BA75> lq1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 There, it's done.
From now on, it is your lute.
5 <CF307D58> d1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Thanks. ...Actually, can I
ask one more thing?
6 <D8AFA5CF> lq1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Oh? And what might that be?
7 <45516A29> d1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I don't really know how to play...
Would you, uh, mind teaching me?
8 <1932DA4E> lq1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Hmm... I wouldn't mind, of course I wouldn't,
but I'm afraid I may not be equal to the task...
9 <123FCBCC> lq1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I am a skilled enough craftsman, but
somewhat embarrassingly, my ability
as a player is middling at best...
10 <FAF23CB3> b1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 In that case, I will teach you.
11 <4E989E83> d1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Wait, what?
12 <2D9BFA6C> a1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Whoa, you can play the lute, A?!
13 <B4FF82D0> b1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I dabble. Certainly I wouldn't
call myself a "virtuoso"...
14 <57F53872> a1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Huh... Well *this* I didn't see coming.
15 <B45FA3B9> d1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Thanks a bunch, A.
Well then, could we get started?
16 <9DE4391A> b1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Why not? It's as good a time as any.
17 <0B5CB7AE> b1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 In view of the situation, could you
choose a lute for me as well?
18 <B7DE6397> lq1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Of course, it will be my pleasure to gift you
one. And my honor too, if you deign to play it
to your heart's content.
19 <B9C467A6> b1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 That's a generous offer, and I appreciate it,
but are you sure?
20 <ED0A2512> lq1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 You needn't be shy. After all, it is
the player that makes the lute.
21 <0A4595F8> lq1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Without a pair of hands to tenderly strum it,
no heart-wrenching ballad can arise, no
dulcet song to stir body and soul...
22 <D4502B0C> d1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 ...
23 <25A754E6> lq1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Right then, pretty lady. Behold.
24 <0B32F369> d1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 ...What's this?
25 <49A05317> lq1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 It's a musical score. I have set down
the melodies of the City's musicians
in sheet music.
26 <B6783377> lq1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Alas, memory has its limits, and the
songs that delighted the City in the past
continue to slip away from me...
27 <25380BB9> lq1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Nothing would please me more than if you
were to bridge the gap between us, your
predecessors, and the future...with song.
28 <2A357CC6> d1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 ...It's a deal.
29 <653A4511> d1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 You won't be forgotten.
By my lute...I swear it.
