What is it? We don't let any stranger in the palace.. Least of all a merchant like you. What? You're not a merchant? Then why are you just hanging around here? What? You want a piece of hair from me? Why? What do you plan on doing with it?

Hmmm... I don't know why you want it, but I can't give you my hair. I need to save each and every one of them... but I CAN give you a piece of my beard... if you can do me a favor..

Haha... Since you seem to really want a piece of my beard, I'll tell you what I want. Have you heard of Lidium? It's an ore that's only produced at Ariant, and I really want it. If you can get me 1 Lidium Ore, then I'll trade you a piece of my beard for that.

I can't give you a piece of my beard if you don't want it, and of course, my hair's off-limits.

I don't know what you want to do with it, but a trade is a trade. Whatever you say, I'm not giving you back the Lidium Ore, you got me? You are the one that wanted to make the trade, so there's no turning back now!

Now that you have my piece of beard, get out of here.
