Expedition
Invite on an Expedition
- Well, all right—but only because I trust you.
- You should invite me out like this more often. So, where are we headed?
Plains
I should have worn something a little more casual so I could roll in the grass.The harmonious atmosphere of the plains engulfs you. The so-called peaceful moments of your life pale in comparison to the tranquility you feel now.
-
Sing a song.
You have a nice, earthy voice. Mind if I join you? -
Complain that you're hungry.
Tell me about it! All of that riding really works up your appetite.
Forest
Be careful around the branches—the woods will put holes in your clothing before you know it.Everything is silent—deeply, utterly silent. The forest knows true calm.
-
Say you don't sense anyone around.
What are you talking about? There are people foraging right over there. -
Confess you've lost your way.
Please tell me you're joking.
Mountains
Oh wow, you can see everything from up here... Anything in particular catching your eye?Storm clouds linger on the horizon, ominous and thick with impending rain. The weather looks like it may take a turn for the worse.
-
Lend them your cloak.
Well, isn't someone smooth! Thank you, though. I appreciate it. -
Ask if they want to head back.
No, I think the worst of it will hold off. Besides, we've come all this way, so let's enjoy ourselves a bit longer.
Waterfront
This is the perfect locale for a romantic rendezvous with your special someone...You see a young couple on a boat in the distance, their lovestruck laughter echoing across the water's surface. You're not sure if you feel envy or annoyance.
-
Say you don't know how to steer a boat.
Well, that makes two of us, so I hope you like drifting with the current. -
Worry about getting seasick.
I know exactly what that's like—sometimes I get incredibly queasy riding in a wagon. Strange, right?
