At the end of the second part of the quest, you get a cutscene in the Carline Canopy where you encounter Colbernoux, he mistakenly says:
"Colbernoux: Why, <player>, what a pleasant surprise! I had thought you still in Ul'dah. Whatever brings you to Gridania?"
He accidentally a word before "still".

I think "were" is supposed to be there. But I wouldn't be surprised if this was another ye olde English whatever that me as a silly newbie wouldn't catch.

Wonder if it's worth fixing since the ARR timeskip is around the corner and who knows how many of these quest NPCs will still be around? lol

On a side note: I now have to go all the way to Camp Tranquil. Joy.
