To all brave warriors who may read this message:

I, Captain Adelbert Steiner of Alexandria, have a request. My queen has entrusted to me a Crystal Chalice and set me the task of filling the chalice with myrrh. I have asked around and determined that there is a myrrh tree in the realm of Alexandria, in the ruins of Midgar.

I intend to make an expedition there very soon in order to collect the myrrh. But the moogles report that the tree is guarded by a dreadful fiend. Would anyone care to accompany me? Obtaining this myrrh is said to be the key to restoring Gaia to balance, so it would be in anyone's interests to do so!

I'll help! I'll even bring my guardian!

[See, Sephiroth? She didn't totally forget you this time! She just... skipped the asking you first bit.]

[Well at least this way she won't be going to a shrine, and the Regent did say to take her elsewhere...though he didn't imagine that he meant to tree guarded by a monster. Still..it had to be better than the water shrine he imagined and he would be useful possibly in guiding them through Midgar's ruins.]

We shall help you, Captain. I know the city of Midgar rather well or used to when it was whole.

Ah, thank you, General! I am sure that with your help, we shall reach that tree in no time.

[Eiko is... not quite the first person he would have chosen out of their entire party, but he certainly can't deny her ability.]

Thank you, Eiko!

...Does your father the Regent know of this?

Not yet. I'll go tell him now.

[Tell. Not ask. As usual.]

Very well. Until we next meet!

[Hey, it's none of Steiner's business. As long as the Regent knows, he can decide what to do about it.]
