young, muscular man fiddling with it, apparently oblivious to the fact he has turned the recording function on. ]
Alright, this isn't too bad, all things considered. Sure, I'm ticked that I didn't get a say in getting dragged here, but I've been planning to take a trip out of Veldime, anyways. Could have done without the fake mom thing, though; pretty creepy, even if she's less crazy than Mom.

Well, so long as it's all in harmless fun. It's been a while since I've had an adventure like that. It's to help you out, too, right? There's nothing wrong with getting stronger, so I don't mind helping out. [ Chirp! ] Besides, it'll be a nice change of pace, that's for sure. And, hey, who knows? Maybe I'll find a good enough gift for her while I'm here.
