Expedition

Invite on an Expedition

An outing sounds lovely. Where are you taking me?
We'll have the best of times wherever we go!

Plains

How beautiful. I think I could stay here forever.
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.
What a strange melody. Where did you learn it?
Complain that you're hungry.
Luckily, I baked up some treats for just such an occasion. Would you like one?

Forest

Look, a rare flower! Its fruit is really sweet and delicious.
The forest is rich with flora and fauna. Your senses are overwhelmed by unknown sights and smells.

Gather mushrooms.
I wonder if you can eat those. The color is quite appetizing!
Pick fruit.
That looks delicious! We should bring it back to camp with us and make some dessert with it.

Mountains

What a magnificent view! This is well worth the long climb.
As you walk along the mountain path, you find yourself losing your footing! You fall to the ground, struck by a horrible pain.

Give yourself first aid.
You don't need to do that. Here, let me take a look. I'm sure I can fix you right up.
Ask them for a piggyback ride.
I'd be glad to, if you want. You're just as needy as my brother.

Waterfront

This scenery would make a lovely painting. If only I'd brought my supplies.
The water is crystal-clear, in a way you only thought possible in stories. Your mind relaxes at the sight of countless fish and an abundance of aquatic flora.

Suggest you go fishing.
I'm not especially good at fishing, but I'll do my best. It's only fair after we've come all the way here!
Suggest you play in the water.
Did you work up a sweat on our way here? The stream over there would be perfect for a nice dip.

EXTRA TIME

I've been far too busy to take proper care of my hair recently.
My mother, brother, and I all share the same hair and eye color. I really like having that between us.
Is there something you'd like to say? Don't be shy.
What is it? I'd be glad to listen if you want to pour your heart out.
We don't have many opportunities to leave camp these days. Maybe I should've dressed for the occasion.
Let's go buy some new clothes once the war is over!

Return to Camp

Thank you for today! I hope we can do it again soon.
Thank you for a wonderful day. I'll plan the next one!
We can do it, together!
