In light of recent events, I believe it important to note that none of the fruits now causing strange effects were grown in the Farm. Our produce is wholesome and may be consumed without fear of incident

[grab_my_bells]

I wouldn't expect you to confess to it even if the fruits were grown in your farms, Huo-kun.

[getsome_sleep]

Gui-Bell overestimates me: I am not so virtuous that, were I able to grow fruits of such supernatural qualities, I would not boast of it.

[coughcoughshank]

I haven't had a chance to visit yet. Are the inscriptions in Japanese?

[getsome_sleep]

I don't know, I fear; the shape of the letters is familiar, but I cannot read them.

[coughcoughshank]

Well, I suppose I can always look.

[andcountry]

I don't know how much help I could be, but I'm always up for a trip to the Wilderness.

[getsome_sleep]

Gui-Cephiro is certainly welcome. If the Adventurers approve, I shall be setting out near sunset tomorrow.

[vile_queen]

Carvings and inscriptions? Perhaps I shall join.

[getsome_sleep]

As I have said, all company is welcome; but you will pardon me, I hope, that I do not recognize your hand.

[vile_queen]

I do not suppose you have. I am a recent arrival; my name is Mona Lisa.

[getsome_sleep]

A pleasure, then. I am called Huo.

/because I can, and to have this written down at the right time

[crimson_seeker]

If that place shows up again, I reckon there's one more stop you ought to make. I'll wait in the old spot, so come when you're done with the rest. There's room for swordwork there. I'll not be bored.

[getsome_sleep]

[Swordwork. He is... wary.]

Of course. Do you wish for me to bring anything?

[crimson_seeker]

[Practice. Two-handed spear and missing fingers don't really go together.]

Not really. Dress warm enough, it still gets chilly after nightfall.

[getsome_sleep]

Very well; I shall come as soon as I am able.
