Bellara Romance and Approval Guide

Hummingbird's Lament Objectives

Speak with Cyrian

Shake Cyrian's Loyalty

Hummingbird
This is primarily a conversation quest. This first dialogue encourages you to plant a seed of doubt in Cyrian about continuing to work for Anaris. These first set of choices will have Cyrian think, so go with what you think has the most impact, personally.

Make Cyrian Weigh His Actions

Hummingbird
Cyrian seems to have been greatly influenced by Anaris's teachings and perspectives. While any of the choices would likely lead to the same response, the (stern) choice, 'At what cost?', sounds like the most logical one.

Question Anaris's Hesitance

Hummingbird

Decision
Cyrian: No, but... no doubt he keeps it from me for good reason.
Choice Consequence
Think about it. (Tear) TBD
Where does it end? (Exclaim) TBD
You're a fool. (Fist) TBD

There are 3 different responses to choose from. While it's unclear whether or not this will affect Cyrian's fate at the end of Bellara's quest line, you can go with either choices 1 or 2 to leverage off of his feelings of guilt.
