Dialogue

Ashura

Good to see you! I wanted to talk to you about Reth.

I've noticed you two getting closer. He mentioned he gave you a pin. Now, I know that boy, and he tried to brush it off and play it down, but I could tell he was wondering.

Were you planning on giving him one back?

Player

Th-that's personal!

Ashura

Right, of course. I didn't mean to pry, I just thought I'd offer some friendly advice. Humans are new to Palia, and you might not all know our customs.

Player

Was I supposed to?

Ashura

You don't have to do anything you don't want to. But I thought I'd let you know about our customs, since it seems like you don't.

Player

I don't know yet.

Ashura

Nothing wrong with taking your time. I just wanted to make sure you know our customs, so you can make the choice when you're ready.

Player

Of course!

Ashura

Really? Good to hear! In that case, I just want you to make sure you know our customs, so that you can.

Ashura

Giving a pin to someone is like a question. And they return with a pin of their own, it's an answer, and a promise.

What that means differs from person to person. Only you and Reth know what your pins mean to you. It can be serious, or it can just be casual.

What matters is giving a pin back means you reciprocate those feelings.

I still remember when I gave my pin to Sabine...

Ahem. Anyways, Sifuu is who you should talk to if you're interested in making a pin for Reth. She'll help walk you through the steps.

This section may seem incomplete, because the quest splits off to a subquest. Please see Reth's Pin quest if you still need to create the pin.

Player

I made you a pin.

Reth

Wait... what?

This is for me?

You made this... for me???

Player

Who else would it be for?

Reth

I can think of at least eight other people who deserve it more than me. But I'll take it before you change your mind.

Player

I made it for you!

Reth

Just like that? I was kind of expecting you to just drop me when you got bored of me...

Player

You don't want it?

Reth

Who said that? Did I say that? Hand it over before you change your mind.

Reth

You didn't have to do this, you know that, right? No one is forcing you to be with me.

If you want to take this back, I won't be upset.

Well, I might be a little upset, but I'll get over it, I promise-

♥ Player

Reth. I haven't changed my mind.

Reth

Yeah. You're right. I really gotta stop questioning you. I bet it stopped being cute ages ago. It's just...

I've never liked anyone as much as I like you. I've never wanted to spend time with anyone, the way I want to hang around you.

It's bad. I'd follow you around like a lost puppy if you let me. It'd be totally pathetic, everyone would laugh at me.

But I wouldn't care. As long as you let me stick around.

But you... you don't just tolerate me, do you? For some wild reason, you really like me back?

Player

Of course I do!

Reth

Yeah... you know, I'm really starting to believe it when you say that.

You actually want me around. You're not just tolerating me.

Player

Until the next hot cook comes around.

Reth

I'll just have to arm wrestle them for the title of hottest cook. I'll win, Player. For you.

Player

I didn't know you liked me that much...

Reth

Really? Because I'm so into you that Ashura and Tish have both started to tease me about it.

Reth

I'd better get back to work, but... I'll see you tonight?

And tomorrow.

And maybe the day after that.

You better not get sick of this handsome face, okay? You're going to see it a lot.

Summary

Ashura tells you that Reth has been thinking about your Relationship lately. When asked about it, Reth waves it off as not important, but Ashura thinks whatever is on his mind weighs more on him than he wants to let on. He confirms that you have received Reth's Romance Pin and explains that giving a pin in return functions as an affirmation of the relationship. It signifies that the feelings are mutual.

Ashura tells you to talk with Sifuu, if you want to make your own pin.
