Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn – Washed Up

Staelwyrn is up in arms, as his hired hands are nowhere to be found.

Staelwyrn: That sea-sloth Sevrin and his lot─never around when there’s work to be done!
Staelwyrn: I’d sooner hire you for the sake of gettin’ things done, but then the rapscallions would never learn.
Staelwyrn: Round them up and let them know that Staelwyrn would like a word… And don’t take no for an answer!

Wauter: Work? Ha! Can’t work when me hands are full liftin’ this mug. Ye know, I’d wager me last gil ye’d never guess what I’m drinkin’.
Wauter: Well, yer right about the “swill” part. I reckon it might be worth a day o’ doin’ Staelwyrn’s chores if it’ll afford me a taste o’ proper grog.

Sozai Rarzai: (groan) How am I supposed to work on an empty stomach? Go on, have a guess at what I had for breakfast.
Sozai Rarzai: Wha─ Gods, how’d you know!? It’s my breath, ain’t it? It probably smells as wooden as the food tasted… But I know why you’re here. (sigh) I’d just as soon get some real food in me, but I ain’t one to reject a summons from the cap’n.

Eyrimhus: Axes were made for splittin’ skulls, not stumps! You know what I did in my sailin’ days?
Eyrimhus: You bet your bosom I did, lass! Aye, those were the days… (sigh) I reckon now I’ll have to be satisfied takin’ my axe to the trees.

Aylmer: So, Staelwyrn sent you. And what do you reckon I say to that?
Aylmer: Damn right! Didn’t get where I am by takin’ guff from any glorified gardeners! …But I s’pose I could see what he wants to get him off my back.

Sevrin: Aye, I’m Sevrin. You the old man’s errand girl, now?
Sevrin: Tell my dear old captain not to wet his britches. I’ll be along.
Sevrin: Oh, and just so we’re clear─I don’t care for landlubbers. Go find the chocobo you rode in on, and ride on out.

Staelwyrn: You continue to impress, lass. All but Sevrin are accounted for.
Staelwyrn: It’s no fault of yours he squirmed out. I’ve let that worm wriggle through my fingers more times than I can count.
Staelwyrn: But rest assured, the next time I see him, I’ll put him squarely in the dirt, where all such worms belong.
