Monk Quest question

[Tudana]

I am new to being a monk, im reading up on all the classic guides and come across something I couldn't find an answer for in the robe quest, it just seemed wierd the way it is.

Returning the Code of Zan Fi, plus the Purple Headband to Brother Qwinn, will result in you getting the Needle of the Void, and the following conversation.

Brother Qwinn says 'We had an agreement. The proof of a skilled monk, the purple Headband, and the Code of the Whistling Fist.

Brother Qwinn says 'We thank you for the return of the Code of the Whistling Fist. Take this sewing needle. You shall find it useful should you aid [Brother Zephyl] in his quest. His item, the needle, a swatch of shadow silk and a scroll containing Jonathan's Whistling Warsong. Into a sewing kit they will be going. And into the brotherhood will you.

I hope you do not wish me to [return the headband]..
If you wish him to return the headband, he says:
Brother Qwinn says 'Then you will return that which was earned or the robe.

heh, could some experienced monk explain to me what Brother Qwinn means?

It sounds like once i get to this point I will lose my headband in place of gaining the items to make the robe?

or I could give the things back to get the headband back...? /boggle
