>"Okay. Maybe a little first aid might be in order.">"Oh, right, you'd probably know Yuuka better by 'Verdant Demon'."
>"There's a certain flower I need to make a medicine for someone suffering from an otherwise incurable disease. And as far as I can tell, Yuuka's the only one who might have that flower, at least that's close enough to find before it's too late."
>Blink. Think. Oh yeah, it did kinda sound like we were on a quest, the way I said that, didn't it?>Might be just as well. It'll get her on side.>"Wouldn't mind being a knight, then I'd have had a horse out here. But no, I'm a Seeker."
>"I'm too big for goats, so I gotta work with what's there."
>"Maybe I'll have a look at my options after this job's done. Or quest, if you want to call it that."
>"Very generous. But the first thing I'm doing after I have that medicine made is head back to Easthaven. My home. I left a... situation there unresolved.">"But before I can do that, I have to find Yuuka."
>Blink. "Lead?"
>A fairy with delusions of knighthood and a fixation on goats is going to guide us to Yuuka?>Is this some cruel God's idea of a joke?
>All right, be logical. Given the state we're in, and the fact that we're going to get worse before we get where we're going, do we honestly feel that we would be served well by having her and her goat as companions?
>"Well, let's start with something simpler, if you don't mind.">Produce our map.>"Can you show me where it is?"
>Let's also check up on our botanical buddy.
>Gonna have to wrap something around that pot when we feel better.
>"I wish I knew..."
>Assuming we can tell, point it out.
>How rough does the terrain look between here and there?>How rough does the terrain look around where she pointed?
>Have we had lunch?
>"I...really need to rest, okay?"
>So about what time do we make it for now?>How long should it take us to travel to where she'd indicated on our map?
