Before starting "A Distant Promise" quest

[pez]

At Royotia pub
Passionate Miner: Recently there's been gossip about Lord David's love interests... or lack thereof. He's never been connected with anybody. Wonder if he's an eunuch? An' that's the story!

Bartender: Harumph harumph... harumph! Marquis of Athlum... you, too, are my rival! ...Impressive, don't you think?

Passionate Miner: Definitely a surprise.


At Balterossa pub
Bartender's Daughter: Recently there's been gossip about Lord David's love interests... or lack thereof. He's never been connected with anybody. That's the latest news, Daddy.

Bartender: Hrm, and he's that age... Alright, beloved daughter, I forbid you from going to Athlum for a while!

Bartender's Daughter: O-okay...


At Celapaleis pub
Gossipy Girl: Recently there's been gossip about Lord David's love interests... or lack thereof. He's never been connected with anybody. That's the latest scoop, anyway!

Bartenderess: Really? I could swear there was that one person a while back...

Gossipy Girl: What? What? Really? If you know something, you gotta dish!


At Baaluk pub
Lively Old Man: Recently there's been gossip about Lord David's love interests... or lack thereof. He's never been connected with anybody. ...That's the scuttlebutt, anyhoo!

Bartender: Izzat so. And?

Lively Old Man: When I think love interests, I think of Granny. Yanno, she was totally gaga over me... fifty years ago, anyway! Gahahahaha!


At Ghor pub
Mercenary With A Past: According to my sources, the admirers of the Marquis of Athlum cannot believe there is no woman in his life, sir! Sir! What do you think of this!

Bartender: Why would I care about this?


At Nagapur pub
Trendy Girl: A lady was overheard saying the Marquis of Athlum was too young and attractive not to have a lady in his life. Isn't that exciting?

Bartender: Love is a game for two.

Trendy Girl: Sometimes, it's a game for one...


At Melphina pub
Noob Qsiti: A lady was overheard saying the Marquis of Athlum was too young and attractive not to have a lady in his life. What's that about?

Bartender: Don't you know? Athlum's great at hiding information. I'm sure he has a secret lady friend.


At Undelwalt pub
Qsiti Chaperon: The Marquis of Athlum has quite a number of admirers, it seems. All are surprised that he does not have a special lady friend. That's the talk of the town, my lady.

Bartenderess: So this "Athlum"... Ah, perhaps it is a new brand of tea!

Qsiti Chaperon: Indeed.


At Athlum pub
Pleasant Young Man: Recently there's been gossip about Lord David's love interests... or lack thereof. He's never been connected with anybody. ...That's the story, anyway.

Bartender: Of course! Lord David is concentrating on the important things of running a country. ...Plus, he's saving himself for me. Sorry, ladies!



...DAVE, THE WHOLE CONTINENT IS TALKING ABOUT YOUR LOVE LIFE.

Also, Melphina's Witch quest...

Mage-like girl: Anyways, I decided I wanna, like, live free. So, freely spend your cash on my special Khrynia magick staff. I promise you, it's the best rod you'll ever get.

Choices available to Rush:
[ ] I dig a good rod.
[ ] That rod would be my doom.

*giggles!!* His love life (or lack thereof) is apparently Very Interesting

I'm actually using that rod right now. I like the way it looks, and, this could be coincidence, but since I've started using it, Rush has seen an increase in Psionic Arts (learning them). I'm one step closer to Fatal Eclipse.

My Rush is sword + shield... it does seem like I'll have to teach him other weapons though. Wonder how long it'll take him to master all arts...

"It's the best rod you'll ever get" still makes me laugh. XD
