Lizzy: An' what 'appens after this quest is done duratin'?

[FRAME 2]

Isabella: Once the Hero completes the quest, everyone working on it will be free to apply to work on another quest.

Lizzy: But 'is job ends when the quest does, is what I's gettin' at.

[FRAME 3]

Isabella: That's true. But the quest hasn't ended, so he still has a job to do.

Lizzy: An' if this Hero never comes back to complete 'is quest, Evan'd keep gettin' paid e'ryday jus' t'flap around that cave by 'isself?

[FRAME 4]

Isabella: The pay is per quest, not per day.

Lizzy: So y'ain't even payin' 'im? Did y'start t'figure why Evan ain't so keen t'keep this job while y'was sayin' that?
