Expedition

Invite on an Expedition

• You'd like to go for a ride? Very well. It's always important to take a break every now and again.
• I would be glad to. I'm normally quite busy, but I happen to have a few free moments.

Plains

• Pick a flower and hand it to them.
  For me? Wow... I can't remember the last time someone gave me flowers.
• Catch a bug and hand it to them.
  Ah! What is the meaning of this? If this is supposed to be a joke, I don't find it funny!

Forest

• Gather mushrooms.
  Mushrooms aren't an ingredient amateurs should be truffling with. Ahem, trifling with.
• Pick fruit.
  I suppose, if you expect we'd find any. Perhaps you could start with that tree over there?

Mountains

• Lend them your cloak.
  A kind offer, but it wouldn't do to have you catching a cold.
• Ask if they want to head back.
  Hm... Perhaps let's stay vigilant and be ready to run if we need to. It's better to be safe than sorry.

Waterfront

• Ask if they like fish.
  I don't mind the taste, but they all look... How should I put this? Gross.
• Look for the toy's owner.
  Understood. I'll take it with me and dispatch some soldiers later.

Return to Camp
