Expedition
Invite on an Expedition
- An excursion? Very well. The shorter a leash, the better.
- Keep an eye on you? Nonsense. This is strictly for my own pleasure. Heh.
Plains
There is no better place for a ride than an open space where one's horse can run free. Do you not agree?As you walk along, lost in your thoughts, something flies in front of you!
-
Notice a rare bird.
You excel at identifying wildlife, hm? All I know is which ones are likely to kill me. -
Pick up a scrap of paper.
That? Just the random scribbles of an insignificant individual, I trust. Leave it where you found it.
Forest
Ah. Woods are the perfect place for an ambush. One never knows what—or who—might be lurking among the trees.Everything is silent—deeply, utterly silent. The forest knows true calm.
-
Say you don't sense anyone around.
Your point? Do you have some nefarious plan in mind once we are by our lonesome? -
Confess you've lost your way.
Yes, I thought that might happen, so I kept track of the way. You are rather notorious for becoming lost, after all.
Mountains
What is the saying? You can lead a horse to a cliff, something-something fall to their death?As you walk side-by-side on the mountain path, [0:CHARA_G] trips and falls! You dash to their aid at once.
-
Give them first aid.
Terribly sorry for the trouble. Ugh, and how mortifying that I need your help. -
Offer to carry them home.
I'm sorry, you want to...carry me? Ah, I see. Clearly, my taking a spill is only the beginning of my endless humiliation.
Waterfront
Once, two souls took a boat out on the water... Only one returned. A fine story, yes?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.
And you actually pictured us going for a boat ride? Oh, but that is simply charming. -
Worry about getting seasick.
Do such ailments often befall you? I fail to see how it is any worse than riding a horse.
