The exact loop you beat Kingquest. For more details, see here.

Isabeau (hahaha1) Si--

Isabeau (sad4) Woah, what's wrong?

Siffrin (fake3) "I need to do the Favor Tree thing."

Isabeau (hahaaa1) Oh. Do you... Need me to leave?

Isabeau (brag1) Sure. But let's talk later, okay?

Isabeau leaves. Siffrin approaches the Favor Tree.

(Isabeau is here, probably pondering what favor to ask the Tree.)

ACT 1 & 2

Siffrin (smiling3)

    Second time this loop

    Isabeau (brag1) Okay, that's it!!! I'm ending this bit!!!

    Siffrin (boo1) (Aw.) "Booooo."

    Isabeau (fufufu1) That's how it has to be, Siffrin.

  • "Okay that's enough."

    Isabeau (boo1) Aw, boo!

• "Hey, uh, Isa..." Loop 1

  Isabeau (really1) Hey, uh, Sif? Are you still half-asleep?

  Isabeau (really3) You should stop taking forever naps, Sif. Naps give you cotton brain.

• "Isa." ACT 3 & 4

  Isabeau (really1) Sif. Woke up on the wrong side of the bed? I get it.

• "Hi Isa, I need to do the Favor Tree thing!" Available fourth time onwards

  Isabeau (uwah!1) Oh! Sorry, I'm in your way then, aren't I? I'll get out of your hair, see you at the Clocktower!!!

  
  

  This skips asking Isabeau any questions, and he immediately leaves.

• (Stay silent.) Available in ACT 4

  Isabeau (uwah!1) Wah! Sif! I didn't see you there!

Isabeau (up1) Anyway, I was just looking at the Favor Tree! Isn't this tree cool???

ACT 3 & 4

Siffrin (fake1)

  Isabeau (sif!1) Uh huh???

• (Stop here.) Available fourth time onwards

  (No. You will always make the joke.)

  
  

  ACT 3 & 4

  (You have to keep some sort of routine to stay sane, and if always making the joke is how, so be it.)

ACT 1 & 2

Siffrin (joke1)

ACT 3 & 4

Siffrin (fake1)

"...TREE-mendous tree."

Isabeau (LMAO1) HAHAHA!!!!! YEAH!!!! YEAH!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!

(You both laugh.)

(Laughing uproariously, he raises his hand towards your shoulder...)

(...but stops, and brings it to his side.)

Second time

(Didn't he do this before? What a weird gesture.)

Third time

(What's up with the hand???)

Fourth time

(Okay he did the hand thing again. You're too curious. You'll have to ask later.)

Subsequent times before asking

(You need to ask!!!)

First time

Second time

Third time

Fourth time (only possible ACT 3+)

Subsequent times without getting the Confession

(You wait for him to touch you.)

(Why do you have to wait? Why do you have to wait? Why do you have to wait?)

(. . .)

• (Keep waiting.)

  (His hand stops above your shoulder.)

  
  

  30% chance

  (Is it fun to go back here? To keep torturing yourself?)

  
  

  Isabeau (sniff1) Haa... That was funny.

• (...)

  (Suddenly  you realize a very basic thing.)

  (He will never touch you. He will never say it to you. You will be stuck here forever.)

  (Stuck in your yearning.)

  (Unless  you're the one who breaks the cycle.)

  (You reach out.)

  
  

  Isabeau ...

  Isabeau Uh, Sif?

  Isabeau Ah--

  
  
  

  (He  pushed you away.)

  (He

  
  

  Time rewinds.

  
  

  Siffrin (fake3) "Hi Isa, I need to do the Favor Tree thing!"

  Isabeau (uwah!1) Oh! Sorry, I'm in your way then, aren't I? I'll get out of your hair, see you at the Clocktower!!!

  
  

  The conversation ends here, and Isabeau cannot be spoken to for the rest of the loop.

(You take a step back.)

(He does not reach towards you.)

Isabeau (sniff1) Haa... That was funny.

Isabeau (wonder1) Anyway! The tree feels weird somehow... Or maybe it's just me?

Siffrin (surprised1) (What?) "The tree feels weird?"

Isabeau (wonder1) Yeah! Like, it feels... weird.

Isabeau (surprised1) But not mean! Like if a lion came towards you and offered you some candy, that'd be weird, right? That kinda weird!

Siffrin (okay1) (...What.)

• "Sure."

  Isabeau (hahaha2) Aw, you always get me, Sif!

• "Did you say that last time...?"

  Isabeau (wonder1) Last time...? What d'you mean? I just started feeling like this now!

(...The tree feels weird?)

(Maybe you should go take a look at it...)

Isabeau (blush1) ...Um...

You can then ask Isabeau questions as normal.

Isabeau (neutral1) I'm gonna go soon so you can do your thing with the tree, but do you wanna talk before I go?

Second time only, if you haven't talked to any other party member yet:

[You don't need to talk to your allies about things you've already talked about, but the option is still here just in case you need a refresher!]

(...?)

Isabeau (hahaha2) Hi again, Sif! What's up?

(Isabeau is here, looking towards the House.)

Isabeau (wonder2) Hi again, Sif?

Isabeau (sad2) You looked like you were in a hurry earlier, so I left you alone, but... Is everything okay?

(You smile and nod.)

Isabeau (sad3) ...

Isabeau (really1) Sure, I'll believe you.

Isabeau (hahaha2) What's up?

ACT 1 & 2

Siffrin (questions1) (Questions for Isa...)

ACT 3 & 4

Siffrin (fake1) (...)

"Clocktower, sleepover?"

"What's up with the big tree?"

"What will you do after?" ACT 1

"Anything weird happen lately?" ACT 2+

"Can I help you with anything?" ACT 3+

"What's up with the hand thing?"

"Flower for you."

(Stay silent.) ACT 4

"Nope."

Isabeau (hahaha2) Huh? A sleepover? Crab yeah!

Isabeau (wonder2) Doesn't the clocktower have only three beds though...? I'm guessing Bonbon and Mira will share, and m'dame Odile will take her own...

Isabeau (yeah!1) Which means we'll share beds again, Sif! I got dibs on the left side!

ACT 1 & 2

Siffrin (fufu1)

ACT 3

Siffrin (smiling2)

ACT 4

Siffrin (fake1)

• "Sure!"

  Isabeau (hahaha2) Yay!!!

  Isabeau (really1) But please try to not hog the covers this time. It's getting cold at night.

• "I'm actually sharing with Mira."

  Isabeau (huhwah1) What??? Are you??? But WHY?!?

  Isabeau (hahaha1) ...You're smiling! You're messing with me, aren't you?

  Isabeau (yeah!1) You should know this, Sif! I'll always be at your side, whether in battle or in bed!

  Isabeau (omgggg1) ...UM, Y-YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!!!!!!!!

  
  

  ACT 1 & 2

  (What a nice guy.)

  ACT 3 & 4

  (...)

Isabeau (neutral1) Oh? You don't know about the Favor Tree?

If you asked him to leave to do the Favor Tree thing

Isabeau (fufufu1) Well, it's just a random big tree. But when you're a believer of the House of Change, the biggest tree in a certain place is called a Favor Tree!

Isabeau (wonder2) "It's like, it’s the tree with the most power, so you can ask it things? As a favor?

Isabeau (brag1) Like, "Please help me pass my Defender exams!!!!!" Which is like, a totally random example.

Loop 0

Siffrin (okay1) (Wasn't Isabeau a Defender...?)

Loop 1

Siffrin (questions1) (Just say the same thing...)

ACT 2

Siffrin (smiling1) (...)

ACT 3 & 4

Siffrin (fake1) (You know your lines.)

"Did you ask a mythical tree to help you pass your exams?"

Isabeau (brag1) And I passed with flying colors, thank you very much!!!

Isabeau (really1) Well, I did study very hard, so it's not like the tree did much. But even a little bit helps!

Isabeau (hahaha2) You should ask the tree for a favor too! It's a big day tomorrow!

Loop 1

(You already did.)

(No point in asking for another one...)

After reading the book on Wish Craft in the Secret Library

(The Favor Tree...)

(Wish Craft...)

(...)

Isabeau (wonder1) After we beat the King?

Isabeau (hahaha1) Wow, Sif! So confident! So cool! I like it!!!

Isabeau (wonder2) I think I'll just return home to Jouvente... I don't have anything else planned!

Isabeau (sad1) ...I wonder how Jouvente is doing. When we left it, it was still standing, moving, but I think the King's Curse may have caught up to it...

Siffrin (smiling3) (So then...) "Will you take your job back?"

Isabeau (awkward1) Nah, being a Defender has kinda lost its shine.

Isabeau (yeah!1) I always admired the Defenders, y'know? It's all about protecting your neighborhood, your city!

Isabeau (brag1) Helping them out with whatever they need, be it getting a cat from a tree or helping an old man with his bags!

Isabeau (sad1) But when Mira came to Jouvente asking for help, after Dormont's House had fallen...

Isabeau (sad1) I was ready to help, for all of Jouvente's Defenders to help, and you know what they said?

Isabeau (boo1) "Nah."

Isabeau (angry1) And I could tell that they said that because they were scared! The worst Defenders see is like, a robbery maybe!

Isabeau (angry1) So suddenly helping to save Vaugarde was too much for them!

Isabeau (angry2) But not helping because you're scared... I just couldn't accept that. That's not brave.

Isabeau (brag1) So I quit, and I won't go back! I'll do something else... Maybe it's time for me to do something brand new!

Isabeau (fufufu1) I got a secret... I've always wanted to be a clothing designer! So maybe I could just take an apprenticeship somewhere...!

Siffrin (smiling2) (You never knew.) "That sounds great, Isa."

Isabeau (fufufu1) Heheh... I knew you'd approve!

Isabeau (neutral1) What about you, Sif? What will you do when we beat the King?

Siffrin (smiling3) (What will you do...?) "Start a comedy club."

Isabeau (really1) Wait, really? Are you serious?

Siffrin (blep1)

• "Yes absolutely."

  Isabeau (fufufu1) Yes... Finally more people will be able to hear your puns...

• "Nah."

  Isabeau (boo1) Aw! That would've been cool!!!

Isabeau (wonder2) Yeah! The tree!

Isabeau (angry2) I told you, something feels off.

Isabeau (hahaha2) ...But I have other things to worry about, so who cares!

Isabeau (wonder2) Um...

Isabeau (boo1) The tree felt a little weird earlier, so I thought something was wrong, but it passed, so I guess it's fine.

First time

Before helping everybody else

First time talking to Isabeau in the current loop

Isabeau (wonder2) Do I need help with anything... Um...

Isabeau (angry2) . . .

Isabeau (wonder1) Well... Maybe, kind of, but...

Isabeau (wonder2) Hmmmmmmmmmmmm...

---

Before the quest

(It seems serious... Does he have a big problem he needs help with?)

(You steel yourself.)

---

After the quest

(...)

---

Isabeau (wonder2) ...

Isabeau (fufufu1) Okay, well...

Isabeau (really1) I'd rather you ask everyone else if they need help, first. Mine might take some time.

---

Before the quest

(Huh... A task so long it might take a long time?)

(It must be really important to him.)

(You nod seriously.)

---

ACT 3

(Time to see what's the best place to look at the stars, maybe...?)

(You nod.)

---

ACT 4

(...)

(You nod.)

---

Isabeau (hahaha1) Heh, so serious!

Isabeau (neutral1) So, um, yeah! Make sure to help everyone and do whatever you need to do, first!

---

Second time talking to Isabeau in the current loop

Isabeau (wonder2) Hm, you haven't helped everyone yet, right?

Isabeau (hahaha1) I'd rather wait until you're done!

(Sounds like you'd better help everyone else in the same loop first.)

---

After helping everybody else

• If you did not ask Isabeau if he needs help this loop

  Isabeau (neutral1) Huh? Oh, that's cool!

  Isabeau (blush1) I did see you running around with everyone earlier. It looked like fun...

  
  

  (Oh.)

  (That's right, you didn't ask him if he needed any help, this loop...)

  (Well.)

  
  

  • Before the quest: Siffrin (okay2)
  • After the quest: Siffrin (fake1)
  • "So, do you need help with anything?"

  
  

  Isabeau (neutral1) Help?

  Isabeau (omgggg1) Oh! Oh, oh, oh! Yes, I do need help with something, now that I'm thinking about it!!!

  Isabeau (hahaha1) Is that what you were doing today? Helping everyone out? I didn't know!

  
  

  • ACT 3: Siffrin (blep1)
  • ACT 4: Siffrin (sadsmile2)
  • "I kept the best one for last."

  
  

  Isabeau (blush2) AW, SIF..........................

  Isabeau (blush3) I-I'm glad!!!

  Isabeau (neutral1) I was just thinking I wanted to hang out with you today, since I saw you running around with everyone.

  Isabeau (awkward1) But you didn't talk to me much today, so I was, um, worried you... Didn't want to...

  Isabeau (hahaha1) I-It doesn't matter! I'm glad I thought about what we could do today, then!!!

• If you asked Isabeau if he needs help this loop

  Isabeau (hahaha2) You did? You did!

  Isabeau (fufufu1) Heh, I saw you run around with everyone today, which made me very jealous.

  Isabeau (hahaha1) So I'm glad I get to spend time with you!

Isabeau (surprised1) ...Um, are you ready now?

Isabeau (wonder2) We'll probably have to go to the Clocktower immediately after we're done, so I don’t think you'll have time to do anything in the village after...

Isabeau (hahaaa1) So I wanna make sure you did everything you needed to...?

• Before the quest & ACT 3: Siffrin (questions1)
• ACT 4: Siffrin (fake1)
• (Hang out with Isabeau now?)

• "I'm ready now!"

  Isabeau (hahaha1) Heh, okay! Well, um...

  Isabeau (brag1) Follow me, Sif!!!

  ---

  First time repeating any friendquest

  [Wow, you're here again!]

  [You don't REALLY have to go through this whole thing again. You can just zone through it, and skip it completely, if you'd like.]

  [You'll even still get their cool skill! But if you do, the skill will be a tiny bit less useful. Your choice!]

  ---

  Second time onwards

  (Zone out?)

  • (Yes.)
  • (No.)

  
  

  For the rest, see Isaquest.

• "Give me a second..."

  At the Favor Tree

  Isabeau (hahaha1) Sure, Sif! In the meantime, I'll let you do your thing here, and I'll wait for you North of Dormont, okay?

  ---

  North of Dormont

  Isabeau (hahaha1) Sure, Sif! I'll see you later!!!

Isabeau (wonder2) The... hand thing? What?

(You do the same gesture he does every time you talk to him at this time.)

(Bringing your hand up towards his shoulder, then sharply taking your hand back.)

(Isabeau looks at your gesture, confused, then suddenly stills.)

Isabeau (omgggg1) Ah. Um. Well.

Isabeau (shy1) I'm. I was. Trying to touch your shoulder. As like. A bro thing.

(Huh?)

Isabeau (omgggg1) B-But I remembered you don't like to be touched!!! I remembered mid-move!!!! So I didn't touch you!!!! So it's okay!!! Sorry!!!!!!!

(He was trying to touch your shoulder?)

(You're not sure how to react to this.)

Isabeau (shy1) Aaaah, see, this is why I didn't do it! Because you do that face every time people try to touch you! I'm sorry!!! I try to remember!!!! Sorry!!!!

(...)

(Okay, you're confused, but...)

(It feels like he thinks you don't want to be touched.)

(You  don't want to think about this anymore.)

• ACT 2: Siffrin (hide1)
• ACT 3 & 4: Siffrin (fake1)
• "Anyway..."

Isabeau (huhwah1) W-what? A flower?

Isabeau (uwah!1) ...For me?

Siffrin (okay2) "You're the only one here, Isa."

Isabeau (shy1) Haha, yeah!!!!!!!!!

(Isabeau takes the flower and cradles it gently in his hands.)

Isabeau (blush2) ... Thanks, Sif...

Isabeau (hahaha2) I... I'll treasure it forever!!!

(He seems happy.)

Isabeau (angry2) . . .

Isabeau (brag1) Okay, my turn!

Isabeau (up1) Hm... What's a good joke...

• First time: Siffrin (surprised3)
• Subsequent times: Siffrin (fake1)
• "What for?"

Isabeau (really1) Well, to make you laugh, duh.

Isabeau (hahaha1) You always make me laugh with your puns, so it's my turn!

• First time: Siffrin (surprised3)
• Subsequent times: Siffrin (hide1)
• "But why?"

Isabeau (huh2) Uh, because we're friends?

• First time: (...Oh.)
• Subsequent times: (...)

Isabeau (angry1) ...Do you not-- Nevermind.

Isabeau (boo1) A funny joke, a funny joke...

First joke

(Isabeau looks around, and seems to notice the Clocktower in the distance.)

Isabeau (oh1) Ah, I know!!!

Isabeau (hahaha2) Do you know what I think about 6:30?

• First time: Siffrin (um1)
• Subsequent times: Siffrin (fake1)
• "...The time?"

Isabeau (fufufu1) Yup.

• First time: Siffrin (sadsmile1)
• Subsequent times: Siffrin (fake1)
• "I dunno, what?"

Isabeau (fufufu1) Well...

Isabeau (LMAO1) I think 6:30  is HANDS DOWN the best time of the day!!!

First time

(...)

(Heh!)

(That's pretty good.)

(You laugh.)

Isabeau (hahaha1) Yay!

(You'll need to remember to laugh, next time.)

You then return to asking questions.

Subsequent times

Isabeau (really1) ...Oh, you knew this one?

• Second time: (Oh, you forgot to laugh.)
• Subsequent times: (...)

Isabeau (wonder2) Hey, it's okay, I have others. Hm...

Second joke

Isabeau (wonder2) Yesterday, I bought like ten watches. Do you know why?

• Second time: Siffrin (sadsmile1)
• Subsequent times: Siffrin (fake1)
• "I don't know, Isa."

Isabeau (LMAO1) Because I have a lot of time on my hands!!!

• Subsequent times: (...)

Third joke

Isabeau (angry2) Okay... Last chance, Isabeau... Don't mess it up.

Isabeau (hahaha2) Okay, so, why shouldn't you take up time travel?

• Third time: Siffrin (hide1)

Isabeau (fufufu1) Easy.

Isabeau (hahaha1) Because there's no future in it!!!

(Hahaha!)

(HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!)

(OH NO, YOU CAN'T STOP LAUGHING!!!)

Isabeau (fufufu1) Heh!

Isabeau (hahaha1) See, I knew I was gonna get it eventually!

Isabeau (neutral1) ...

(You keep laughing.)

(You just can't stop.)

(Tears run down your face.)

Isabeau (huh2) Woah, hey, Sif...

(Oh no, oh no, you're laughing too much!!!)

(You've been laughing for too long, stupid!!! He's gonna think you're weird!!!)

(Stop laughing!!!)

(You try and breathe slowly in, and out, come on, stupid.)

(Pheeeeeeeeeeeew...)

(Okay.)

Isabeau (disappointed1) . . .

Isabeau (fufufu1) So, sounds like I should become a comedian, huh?

(You try not to start laughing again.)

(You wipe your face.)

Siffrin (lol1) "I needed that, I think!"

Isabeau (sad1) Yeah, looks like you reaaaaally did.

Isabeau (sad4) What's wrong?

Siffrin (smiling2) "Nothing's wrong!"

Isabeau (hahaaa1) Oh, so we're gonna ignore the hysteric laughing and crying, huh?

Siffrin (lol1) "Yyyyep."

Isabeau (angry2) . . .

Isabeau (brag1) Okay, but only for now, and only because it's you, Sif!

(You smile.)

(Isabeau hesitantly smiles back.)

(You got a MEMORY OF PUNS!)

(You'll always remember this.)

[When Memory of Puns is equipped, your Fighter will have a higher chance to do a Critical hit!]

Isabeau (sad3) ...

Isabeau (sad4) Do you want to talk a little more...? About something else, maybe?
