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?

FireWaterEarthAir

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.

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!

EarthAir

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

Fancy Cook BookDessert Cook Book

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.
