As you approach the balloon to pick up this quest Aysa Cloudsinger and Ji Firepaw greats you with these words:
Aysa Cloudsinger says: We're ready to go whenever you are, <name>.
Ji Firepaw says: Or if you want to wander the woods a while, Aysa and I can hang out here. You know... just the two of us.
Aysa Cloudsinger says: Don't listen to him. We've got work to do.
Then there's a long dialog during the flight with the balloon.

Aysa Cloudsinger says: Hop in.
Ji Firepaw says: <Name>, where's Master Shang?
Aysa Cloudsinger says: ...Ji, they where in the Wood of Staves. You know where Master Shang is now.
Ji Firepaw says: Bah, let a pandaren hope, would you? I'm going to miss the old man.
Aysa Cloudsinger says: Ji, be respectful when we speak to Shen-zin Su.
Ji Firepaw says: When am I not respectful? You hurt me, Aysa.
Aysa Cloudsinger says: I might, if you embarrass us.
Aysa Cloudsinger yells: Shen-zin Su, we are the descendants of Liu Lang. We've sensed your pain, and we want to help.
Aysa Cloudsinger yells: What ails you Shen-zin Su? What can we do?
Shen-zin Su says: I am in pain, but it warms my heart that Liu Lang's grandchildren have not forgotten me.
Shen-zin Su says: There is a thorn in my side. I cannot remove it.
Shen-zin Su says: The pain is unbearable, and I can no longer swim straight.
Shen-zin Su says: Please grandchildren, can you remove this thorn? I cannot do so on my own.
Aysa Cloudsinger yells: Of course, Shen-zin Su! But your shell is large, and I do not know where this thorn could be.
Shen-zin Su says: It is in the forest where your feet do not walk. Continue along the mountains and you will find it.
Aysa Cloudsinger yells: We will find it, and we will remove it. You have our word!
Shen-zin Su says: Thank you, grandchildren.
Ji Firepaw says: A thorn? And I left my tweezers at home.
Ji Firepaw says: How could such a thing cause pain to something so large?
Aysa Cloudsinger says: We'll know soon enough.
Ji Firepaw says: Are you seeing what I'm seeing? Is that a boat?
Aysa Cloudsinger says: It is a boat... a whole airship! That's a bigger thorn than I was expecting.
Ji Firepaw says: And those aren't pandaren down there. They've got no fur. Aysa Cloudsinger says: Someone has crashed into our island. Removing this thorn may be more complicated than we thought.
Aysa Cloudsinger says:We should let Elder Shaopai and then plan our next move.

Ride the balloon and hear the story. The ride will drop you off on top of a building. Go down to the first floor, exit and go north up the stairs to Elder Shaopai, turn in the quest.

I suggest doing this quest with greater than minimum graphics. I didn't get to see the turtle (sad panda).

Map coordinates of the pins above. An area the client draws as a shape is given by the centre of its points.

This journey shall soon be yours to undertake without me. Stay for a few moments and listen to an old man's words. Let my knowledge serve as a foundation for yours, that you might be greater than I ever was.
