- Player
- It's delicious!
- Reth
- Really? That's a relief. Some find my approach of using lettuce as the sole vegetable in the soup a BIT controversial.
- But I'm glad to see that in the end I proved the old adage true...
- You can never go wrong with hot, soggy lettuce.

Dialogue and Mail
Introduction
Upon speaking to Reth
- Reth
- Hey! It looks like you came back for a taste of my food.
- Smart choice. Lucky for you, I always keep a flask or two of soup handy.
- This week's special is my World Famous Vegetable Soup.
- It's been the special at the Inn eight weeks running...
- ...and that's not just because it's one of the few things I know how to make.
- Here. Why don't you take a free sample? On the house!
- So...what do you think?
- Player
- It's a... lot of lettuce.
- Reth
- I don't know what you're talking about. It's a perfectly proportional amount of lettuce.
- Some people might say, "Reth, lettuce isn't a soupable vegetable!" and to those doubters I would say...
- Everything is soupable if you try hard enough.
- Player
- I hate soup.
- Reth
- ...I'm going to pretend you didn't just break my heart like that.
- It's the only way I'll be able to look you in the eye.
- Player
- Mmm, lettuce-y.
- Reth
- See, most people would expect salad, maybe a sandwich. No one ever expects soups.
- What can I say? I live to subvert expectations.
- Still, I've been getting some complaints from our regular dinner crew. They've begged me to make something, literally anything, else.
- But I don't know. No other recipes have really caught my eye. And Caleri won't let me in the library anymore after the Bouillabaise Incident.
- Hey, you think you could go ask her if she's got any cookbooks available? Maybe I'll get some new inspiration.
Progression
Upon speaking to Caleri
- Player
- I'm looking for recipes.
- Caleri
- Reth put you up to this, didn't he?
- Hmphf. That boy will do anything to wiggle out of his punishment. I still haven't gotten the stains out of the ceiling!
- Player
- He says he's really sorry.
- Caleri
- And I'm secretly the Queen of Akwinduu.
- Player
- Only you can save Kilima from the lettuce menace.
- Caleri
- Then perhaps Kilima shouldn't have hired a carpenter to cook.
- Oh, very well. You may take one, and ONLY one. You'll find them on the shelf.
- And if a single page is returned to me tomato-stained, that will be a lifetime ban... for the BOTH OF YOU.
Conclusion
Upon bringing Reth the cookbook
- Player
- I brought you a fancy cookbook.
- Reth
- "Upper Crusts: A guide to Making Food for the Majiri Elite"[sic]
- How fancy! DO you mind if I call you "fancy pants?"
- You know what, there's no point in responding. I'm gonna call you "fancy pants" either way.
- Oh! And I almost forgot. Here's a bowl of My World Famous Vegetable Soup to show my eternal gratitude.
- For some reason, I have a lot of it left over? Go figure.
- Player
- I brought you a dessert cookbook.
- Reth
- "Sweets for the Sweet: A Guide to Crafting Drool-Worthy Desserts."
- Looks like somebody has a taste for the more refined things in life. And by that, I mean refined sugars.
- Mind if I start calling you Sweet Tooth?
- Don't answer that. I'm gonna do it either way.
- Oh! And I almost forgot. Here's a bowl of My World Famous Vegetable Soup to show my eternal gratitude.
- For some reason, I have a lot of it left over? Go figure.
