Dialogue

(Optional)
Lyse: If you need to buy anything, now might be a good time.

Accepting the Quest (Cutscene)

Alisaie: Come to take the measure of our friendly neighborhood merchants? 
Alisaie: They're a bold lot, that much is plain. If the imperials found out they were peddling their wares to the Resistance, they would be lucky to escape with their lives. 

Alphinaud: 'Tis a gamble,aye, and I admire their courage. But their motives could hardly be said to be altruistic...

M'naago: Ah, here you are. I've been looking all over for you. 
M'naago: We've finished discussing your proposal, and we're ready to receive you all back at the tent. 
M'naago: I've sent someone to fetch Y'shtola and Krile, so if you'd like to follow me...

Optional

M'naago: We'll begin once the others arrive.

Meffrid: Sorry to have kept you waiting, but matters such as these demand due deliberation.

Speaking with Conrad (Cutscene)

Conrad: Thank you all for waiting. We have reached a consensus. 
Conrad: I, Conrad Kemp, do hereby accept the Eorzean Alliance's proposal. You must understand, however, that our cooperation comes with certain caveats. 

Alphinaud: Those caveats being...?

Conrad: I take no joy in this, just so you know. Were it within my power, I'd offer you more assistance. 
Conrad: But the Resistance is far more fragmented than you realize. The men and women in my care belong to but one of many factions. 
Conrad: Simply put, I can only speak for the people of Rhalgr's reach. 
Conrad: Now, I have every intention of appealing to the others, and I expect many will agree—but it will take time, and I cannot guarantee universal support.

Alphinaud: Understood. I shall see that the Alliance is under no misapprehensions as to your position. 

Conrad: Much obliged...but that's not the whole of it. As you can imagine, the loss of those who cast their lot with the Griffin left us short on numbers. 
Conrad: Some of our most trusted veterans died at the Wall, and we've had to fill their posts with the young and inexperienced. Frankly, everything's in a right bloody mess. 

Lyse: Oh, we'd be more than happy to help you get back on your feet. If we're going to work together, we'll be doing ourselves a favor! 

Conrad: Well, there's no shortage of work to be done, that's for sure. We're in dire need of new blood too.

Krile: Y'shtola and I could lend a hand in the infirmary. From what I saw, they could do with a few more healers. 

Alphinaud: Very well. I, for my part, shall return to the Rising Stones. I am certain there are others among the Scions who would welcome the opportunity to fight for Ala Mhigan liberation. 

Lyse: Um...Is there anything else we can do to help? 

Conrad: I had something else in mind for you lot. M'naago and Meffrid will tell you more. 

Lyse: Understood. We won't let you down. 

Optional

Lyse: What a relief! For a moment there, I really wasn't sure which way it was going to go...

M'naago: Heh! As if there were any doubt!

Conrad: Now that we've dealt with the formalities, we can get to work. I'm glad you're with us, friend.

Meffrid: Pinch me if I'm dreaming, because I'd swear it's finally happening. The whole of Eorzea, committed at last to the liberation of Ala Mhigo!

Speaking with Alisaie

Alisaie: Right, then. M'naago and Meffrid are to be our keepers. 
Alisaie: Knowing naught what they require, one task is as good as the other. Make your choice, [Forename].

System: Your aether compass may now be used to locate aether currents in new regions! The aether compass can be found under Collection in the Duty section of the main menu.

Optional, post-completion dialog

Alisaie: After you, [Forename].

Lyse: I wonder what Conrad has planned for us?

Conrad: I leave you in my officers' capable hands─and them in yours.
