Taking the quest
KenniShh! You're scaring off the fish. And take this damn kid away.
- YouDid you catch anything?
KenniHaven't seen a single fish other than this strange necklace—
- YouThen why're you still here?
KenniWell, this here is a special fishing spot my friend told me about. Keep it quiet and don't go blabbing about it elsewhere, but... Apparently, someone set up a feast for the fish upstream, so they'd all fatten up nice and good.
- YouHmm?
KenniDon't give me that look—just think about it. What would "a feast for the fish" mean? It means they were feeding them! Well-fed fish get nice and plump and then drift downstream. That's where I come in.
- YouBut I see you haven't caught a single fish.
KenniYou really know how to twist the knife, huh? Honestly, I'm starting to wonder if there are actually any fish up there at all... But what if there really are fish up there? Or what if someone steals my spot while I'm off checking? I've been here for hours every day, and yet if I lose it because I couldn't wait five minutes? I'd lose my mind!
- YouFine, I'll go check upstream for you.
KenniDid you just read my mind? Thank you, please check thoroughly!
Finishing the quest
KenniShh! You're scaring off the fish. And take this damn kid away.
- YouI checked upstream.
KenniAlright, so? How many fish were there? Are they swimming downstream?
- YouThere were no fish. Just a dead body in the water.
KenniA corpse?! You're kidding! Then that "feast" my friend mentioned was... Ugh!
- YouAre you done fishing now?
KenniYeah, no more fishing for me. If you'd like...you can have this.
- YouA pocket watch?
KenniI pulled it up from the water here. It must've drifted down from upstream, and if what you said is true, then the owner... ... Ahem. You could take it to the cemetery up ahead. There are plenty of families there who have never recovered their loved ones. Someone might recognize it.
- YouWhat if no one claims it?
KenniThen head over to the tavern, and you might find my friend drinking in the corner. People call him "the Informant." He might know something about the watch, or better yet, the person you're after.
- YouThe cemetery and the tavern. Got it. Thanks.
KenniYeah. Well, what am I supposed to do with this kid now? Guess I'll just keep pretending to fish...
