Glowing in the Night

Glowing in the Night is a Heart-to-Heart in Xenoblade Chronicles. It is located at the Spring of Grief in Tephra Cave. This Heart-to-Heart can be seen only when Dunban and Riki are at purple affinity or above and if they are both in the active party at night.

Introduction
Riki: Dundun! Riki can see hanging strings!

Dunban: They are quite remarkable. It’s an amazing sight.

Riki: Riki know! Know what strings are!

Dunban: You do? Well, what are they?

Riki: [Riki tell Dundun.] The power of ether!

Dunban: I see. And what else?

Riki: Riki not know anything else.

Dunban: Even I know more than that, Riki. Do they even have schools where you’re from?

Riki: ''Dundun is my hero! He know way more than Riki.''

Dunban: Riki, are you all right? You seem to be taken aback.'''  Riki: [Riki surrenders!]'''

Dunban: Riki, my friend... It is not the end of the world if you don’t know something.

Riki: Good! Because Riki know nothing about ether. Regret not listening at school.

Dunban: There is much I do not know as well, Riki. Bionis is a rich and diverse place. Even I have much to learn.'''  Riki:''' But why string only appear at night? Why Bionis titan make them that way?

Dunban: Riki, you are the funniest Nopon I know. And you know what? I believe the Bionis itself may have forgotten the reason.

Riki: Riki love travelling with Dundun. Dundun the best partner ever!

Dunban: Why thank you, Riki. I enjoy visiting the mysterious wonders of the Bionis as much as you.

Riki: Riki never want to leave friends!

Dunban: Riki, are you all right? You seem to be taken aback.

Riki: [String is fishing line!]

Dunban: Fishing line, you say? That’s quite the conclusion to draw, Riki.

Riki: OK... Riki change his mind. Now it is a spider web! A great big spider go around spinning lots of webs.

Dunban: I cannot tell if you’re joking or you actually believe this nonsense.

Riki: Riki upset with Dundun! Why Dundun so angry with Riki?

Dunban: I am not angry with you, Riki. If you don’t know the answer, just tell the truth.

Riki: Sorry Dundun. Riki embarrassed at not knowing.

Dunban: We should never be embarrassed by what we do not know.

Riki: Dundun right! Riki listen now. Please Dundun, teach Riki more!

Dunban: I’d be happy to. There is much we can learn from each other on our journey.

Riki: [Riki not tell Dundun for free!] Qui pro qui!

Dunban: That’s ‘quid pro quo,’ Riki. And where did you learn that?

Riki: Reyn told Riki!

Dunban: Did he now? I suggest thinking twice before listening to him, Riki. So then, what can I do for you?

Riki: [Dundun tell Riki biiig secret!] Riki not know aaanything about Dundun. Please tell Riki!

Dunban: Why of course. I’d be happy to. But I’m really not that interesting.

Riki: That not matter! Tell Riki... what food Dundun not like!

Dunban: Let me see... Something I dislike. Sweet Wasabi! The sweetness evokes tears and induces terrible bowel movements.

Riki: Haha! Dundun funny! Sweet Wasabi make Dundun yuck! Dundun like Riki’s littlepon.

Dunban: I see. You find this funny, do you? Well, back to the point at hand. What do you know about these ‘strings’?

Riki: They caused by ether power! Riki’s lesson over!

Dunban: I could have told you that, Riki. You tricked me.

Riki: Riki want to know about Dundun, so Riki and Dundun be friends!

Dunban: Well, if you put it so nicely, how can I refuse?

Riki: Reyn told Riki!

Dunban: Did he now? I suggest thinking twice before listening to him, Riki. So then, what can I do for you?

Riki: [Dundun help Riki pay off debt!] So Riki and Dundun make deal?

Dunban: Never.

Riki: Riki not happy. Sulky sulk.

Dunban: You see, Riki, I am not Melia. Cuteness alone won’t win me over. You’ll just have to try harder.

Riki: Dundun!

Dunban: I’m not making any kind of deal with you. If you run away, I’ll be the one left working off your debt! And I don’t think the Heropon moniker would suit me very well.

Riki: Nonono! That not needed. Riki see Dunban in dream. Dunban working at Pollen Works! That suit you great!

Dunban: We must prevent this from happening at all costs.

Riki: Oooh!
