Dialogue and Mail

Letter from Hodari upon reaching Romance 3

(Player),

I'm gonna be around town today doin' some work for Jina and the Bahari Institute. They asked me to survey that old temple you explored behind Phoenix Falls. If you've got the time, maybe you can stop by the work site for lunch? I packed enough for two.

And if you don't got the time, pretend I didn't send this letter and never mention it again, for my own sake.

Hodari

Speak to Hodari in the Temple of the Waves

Hodari

No idea how they made this... ain't like it's infused with Flow or anything...

(Player)! Uh, didn't see you approach.

Player

Too busy nerding out about rocks?

Hodari

...What? Old Human engineering's impressive. Your people really knew how to make things last.

Player

I didn't mean to startle you...

Hodari

Ain't your fault, I was just distracted. I never mind you stoppin' by, darlin'.

Player

You look so handsome when you're all focused.

Hodari

...thanks. You're, uh. You look good... too. Look, I ain't as good with words as y'are.

Player

What are you doing out here?

Hodari

Mentioned in my letter, but Jina asked me to come check out this temple. Seems she's petitioning the Institute to open the place up as a historical site.

So m'here to make sure it ain't gonna crumble apart on everyone's heads.

Was planning on stopping by your place after work, but... m'glad you came.

Lemme just put my tools down, and I'll meet you by th-

...

Player

What's wrong?

Hodari

I... forgot to bring th'food I packed us.

I was so busy thinkin' about seeing you today that I... must've left it on the counter.

..............

Player

You like me that much?

Hodari

...'course I do. Have you seen yourself?

Player

That is so cute.

Hodari

I'm a fully grown man who forgot the whole reason for asking you here. Wouldn't call that cute.

Player

Sure you weren't busy thinking about rocks?

Hodari

Solid 75-25 split. Impressive as these walls are, you're better.

Player

You're usually so put together.

Hodari

Then you underestimate how... distractin' I find you.

Great meal I've made for us today, though. Fat lot of nothing, with a side of nothing for dessert.

Sorry, (Player).

Player

I could fish us up some lunch!

Hodari

...I did see fish jumpin' around in the water down there. I ain't usually a fan of fish...

But I am a fan of you. Long as we get to have lunch, m'not picky about what we're having.

Player

I could see what I can forage!

Hodari

Did see some mushrooms and spices around here... that might just work.

Hodari

If you can rustle up some food, I'll get the fire started. Always keep a bit of flint on me, just in case.

Return to Hodari in the Temple of the Waves

Hodari

Any luck?

Player

I brought the ingredients!

Hodari

Just when I think you can't impress me any more, you go and do somethin' like this.

Honestly, when you first came to town, I wasn't... so sure you'd hack it out here. It ain't like fancy city living where everything's provided.

But I'll be the first to admit how wrong I was.

It takes a special kind of person to turn a failed date into an impromptu feast.

Player

This was a date?

Hodari

What else did you think it was?

I like you, (Player). Not sure how much clearer I can make that.

Player

I think you're pretty special yourself.

Hodari

Yeah, takes a special kind of fool to set up a lunch date then forget all the lunch.

Player

And? What else do you like about me?

Hodari

Heh. I like how you know your worth, (Player).

Which, if I ain't being obvious enough, is a lot.

Player

Aw, come on. I'm not THAT special.

Hodari

You are. Trust me, (Player). I've never met someone quite like you.

A-anyways. Looks like the food is done. Here.

I always keep a packet of spices in my back pocket for emergencies, so it shouldn't taste too bad.

Player

What else do you keep in your pockets, the kitchen sink?

Hodari

You say that, but imagine if I hadn't kept this packet on me. We'd be eatin' unseasoned food.

Player

It's delicious!

Hodari

Glad y'like it.

Player

I'm glad we got to spend time together...

Hodari

Me too. I know we're both busy, but... I'll always take some time for you.

Player

Lacking spice is an emergency?

Hodari

No bigger emergency, darlin'. I wouldn't subject you to bad food.

...Thanks, (Player). And I don't just mean for savin' our date.

I... like spendin' time with you. Find myself lookin' forward a little more to each day, lately.

I'd better get back t'work. But this... this was nice.

Post-Quest

Follow up letter from Hodari Contents of the letter will depend on which option you chose to provide food.

Hey darlin',

Saw these out in Bahari, and I thought of you. I ain't usually got time for foraging, but I thought I'd try it out. Anything you like must be somethin' worth doing, after all.

Plus, I owe you for bungling lunch so bad. Maybe this'll help make up the difference.

Hodari

Hey darlin',

Was thinking about you, and thought you might appreciate this. I ain't as good a fisher as you, but I thought I'd try it out. Anything you like must be somethin' worth doing, after all.

Plus, I owe you for bungling lunch so bad. Maybe this'll help make up the difference.

Hodari

Follow up conversation with Najuma at your plot

Najuma

So, did he do it?

Player

Do what, exactly?

Player

I'm not sure what you're talking about...

Player

Was there an it he was supposed to do??

Najuma

Yeah, give you a pin!

Player

Oh. I didn't receive any pin.

Player

Oh yeah, he did it. Totally.

Najuma

Really? But I don't see it anywhere...

Are you sure he gave you a pin?

Player

Oh. I didn't receive any pin.

Najuma

UGH. What's he even doing?

I know he likes you. Like, a lot. If he hasn't handed one over yet, he's probably still working on it...

Okay. I'm gonna go do some snooping. Um, don't tell him I talked to you, okay? I bet he wants to keep it a secret.

But I promise, it's definitely coming. Even if I have to bug him myself!

Notes

No matter which dialogue option you choose you can either forage or fish for lunch. Choosing the fishing option will take much longer than foraging. If the quest Sea of Stars has not been completed, a lot of the catches will be the quest starter.
