Description
I am no good, your name. I was 'spose to be watchin' over my little friend, Shay, and somehow, she got away from me. I'm not all that sure what happened, really, but last time I saw her, we was walkin' through the ruins just north of here.
Everythin' was goin' fine, but then I turned around, and... she was gone.
Now I jus can't quite figure out what I should do here. Got any ideas, your name? I'm awful worried.
Hey, how 'bout you go look fer Shay? Yer legs can travel much faster 'n mine.
Completion
Oh, I am so glad you found me! I must admit, I am a bit lost... But isn't this a beautiful place?
