"We have much to discuss, you and I"....and proceed to say exactly nothing afterwards. I think this happens if you already have the other breadcrumb quest to get into Ohn'ahran Plains, but it's kinda hilarious.

Description

The green dragonflight requires your aid now, hero. My sister's daughter and her flight have entered the Emerald Dream in an attempt to empower their own oathstone, but we have heard nothing since their slumber began. Seek out the centaur that rule over the Ohn'ahran Plains. You may well need their connection to the land and its spirits if you are to rouse the greens. They are a proud and territorial people who do not suffer insult lightly. Speak with our ambassador and he will prepare you.
