0. Oh, hey Hapi. You sure like the outdoors, huh?
1. I guess you could say that. Probably because I grew [cdb]up in a forest.
2. Or maybe it's because I was forced to live in Abyss all [cdb]that time.
3. Oh that's right, you were at Garreg Mach too.
4. I wasn't there for very long, but I never would've [cdb]guessed there was a whole town hiding just below [cdb]my feet.
5. Well, it was. I should know.
6. What about you, though? What did you do before [cdb]hopping into the mercenary business?
7. Before that? Oh, well...
8. I lived with my mom in a village deep in the [cdb]mountains. Feels like forever ago now.
9. Oh, I call her my mom, but we weren't actually [cdb]related. She was more like a foster parent.
10. So, what was she like? I don't suppose she was [cdb]interested in magical research, was she?
11. I dunno about research, but yeah, she knew how to [cdb]use magic.
12. Interesting... How did you two end up living [cdb]together?
13. I don't really know the details. I can't remember [cdb]anything from before I was with her. Apparently, I was a foundling.
14. Sadly, finding a starving, abandoned child isn't that [cdb]uncommon.
15. But for her to take me in and raise me as her own... I think my mom was someone special.
16. Yeah. I guess. She was probably a good person.
17. Ask Hapi what's on her mind.
18. Reminisce about your mom.
19. Something on your mind, Hapi?
20. I was just wondering why someone who could use [cdb]magic was living in a remote mountain village.
21. She taught me everything I needed to know to [cdb]survive.
22. She was really something. A way better mom than I [cdb]could've ever asked for.
23. OK, but why would someone like that be living in a [cdb]remote mountain village? Doesn't that strike you [cdb]as odd?
24. You know, someone told me one time that she wasn't [cdb]actually from there.
25. But when I asked her about it, she just gave me this [cdb]sad smile.
26. Hmmm... Very interesting.
27. Seriously, Hapi, what's going on? Does it have [cdb]something to do with my mom?
28. No, it's nothing. Sorry to bring it up.
29. I was just letting my imagination get the better of me. Sorry if I upset you. Really.
30. It's all right.
31. Well that's worrying.
32. I'm fine, don't worry about it. No big deal.
33. Besides, I'm sure you had your reasons, right?
34. Well now I'm just gonna worry about what you were [cdb]imagining.
35. But I'm sure you had your reasons for asking about [cdb]that stuff.
36. If you ever feel like talking about it, I'm always here.
37. Thanks. Just some old demons of mine.
38. Happens to the best of us. Don't sweat it. You wanna [cdb]head back and get something to eat?
39. Sure. Oh, and we can pick some berries on the way. I think I saw some a little bit ago.
40. What kind? After all my time in the mountains, I'm something of a berry expert myself.
