Dialogue and Mail

Introduction

Upon speaking to Hodari at your plot

Hodari

Glad I caught you, darlin'.

Was in the area, thought I'd stop by.

...And by in the area, I mean I came specifically because I wanted to see you.

Had some questions, if you've got the time to answer.

WaterAir

Player

Are you breaking up with me?!

Hodari

...What? No.

It's nothin' serious like that. I just wanted to know what your favorite flower was.

Player

Sure, I've got time.

Hodari

Great. So, what's your favorite flower?

WaterAirEarthFire

Player

Crystal Lake Lotus

Hodari

Guess I'll need to get my waterproof boots out...

Player

Briar Daisy

Hodari

Guess I better practice my rock climbing...

Player

Heartdrop Lily

Hodari

Guess you're gonna put me through my paces, huh?

Player

Sundrop Lily

Hodari

Guess I better spent some more time in Kilima...

Thanks. I'd better get back now.

FireEarth

Player

You just got here!

Hodari

M'workin' on a little project, don't mind me. I'll see you later.

Player

See you later.

Hodari

M'sure you will, darlin'.

Upon speaking to Najuma

Najuma

He's gone? Okay, whew.

FireWaterEarthAir

Player

AHHH! You scared me!!

Najuma

Sorry, sorry! I just didn't want him to see I was following him!

Player

Where'd you come from?

Najuma

...I followed dad here. There are a lot of me-sized bushes on the road from Bahari to here.

Player

Sneaking around?

Najuma

No!

Well, yes, but for a good reason!

Player

Were you, like, hiding in the bushes?

Najuma

...I mean, yeah, but that's not important right now!

My dad's making a pin for you!

That's why he asked you your favorite flower. He thinks he's being all sneaky, but I saw the plans on his desk.

AirWaterEarthFire

Player

Wow, spoilers!

Najuma

No, because he's been working on it for WEEKS.

I'm not sure he's ever gonna finish it. He keeps changing the design.

Player

I wasn't sure he was going to.

Najuma

Me neither. Not because he doesn't like you or anything, it's just...

He's been working on this design for weeks and he just keeps changing it

Player

Why are you telling me?

Najuma

Because he's been working on this design for WEEKS and he just keeps changing it.

I'm not sure he's ever gonna get around to giving it to you.

Player

What? I better make one too!

Najuma

Exactly! Especially because I'm not sure he's ever gonna think it's good enough to give to you.

You have to make the first move and force his hand. Maybe then he'll stop acting so... WEIRD about this.

Seriously. I've never seen my dad care this much about anything.

Player

He cares about you that much.

Najuma

I mean... maybe, I guess. But I'm his kid, he doesn't care what I THINK about him. We're stuck with each other no matter what.

So... you're gonna go make a pin for him too... right?

I mean, you don't have to or anything! But if you want to, I bet Sifuu can help.

Okay. I'm gonna go and stop meddling in my dad's love life now. I mean, seriously, ew.

Progression

Upon speaking to Sifuu

Player

I wanted to make a pin for Hodari.

Sifuu

Not sure if I should congratulate you or seethe with jealousy. When I heard someone finally got that old grump's heart, I nearly spit out my ale!

Course, if it was gonna be anyone, I'm not surprised it's you.

Especially since Hodari came by last week asking me on advice for the same thing.

Pins are best when you put a little of yourself in them, and a little of the other person too.

So, you know Hodari best. What's his thing?

Player

Palium ore.

Sifuu

Strong, good lookin', and a rare find. Perfect!

And what about you, what do you like?

WaterFireEarthAir

Player

Fishing!

Sifuu

Fishing, huh? I've seen some nice jewelry made from a prism trout scale.

That would make a fine addition to a pin!

Player

Bug Catching!

Sifuu

A bug on a pin... that's a bold statement.

But I like bold!

We could do something really fun with a Brighteye Butterfly Wing!

Player

Hunting!

Sifuu

You're a Palian after my my own heart!

I used an Elder Sernuk Antler in my pin. It was a huge hit!

Player

Foraging!

Sifuu

If you're a forager, I'd say there's nothing more romantic to add to a pin than a Heartdrop Lilly.

Why mess with a classic?

For more information, see Hodari's Pin.

Upon speaking to Hodari

Player

I made you a pin.

Hodari

...Well, this is embarrassin'.

I ain't saying I won't take it! Don't get me wrong!

I just, uh.

I've got about twenty pins in progress in the workshop.

Kept scrappin' them and starting over.

Now that I say it out loud, it doesn't really sound like me. You just...

Make me act like a fool sometimes.

FireAirEarthWater

Player

I think it's cute.

Hodari

Cute, huh? I'll take cute.

Player

Weird. Usually, I'm the fool.

Hodari

Figured it was about time I joined you.

Player

Well, one of us has to be the mature one.

Hodari

Ha. Glad I've got you here, then.

Player

You were that nervous about the pin?

Hodari

Course I was. Have you seen yourself?

I ain't used to... carin' what other folks think of me.

But I want you to like me. I want you to be able to rely on me, and trust me. Tell me whatever's on your mind.

And know that I'll listen, and be there for you. Whenever you need, and whenever you want.

EarthFireWaterAir

Player

So is that a yes, or...?

Hodari

It's a yes.

Player

Good thing I like you, then.

Hodari

...That is a good thing.

Player

I want you to like me, too.

Hodari

If it helps, I definitely do.

Player

Bother you more at midnight, got it.

Hodari

You can bother me any time you want, darlin'.

Guess I'm gonna need to get m'self in gear and finish this damn pin.

Come back tomorrow. I promise, I'll get over myself and get it done.

Conclusion

Upon returning to Hodari

Hodari

Was just about t'run out and find you.

Here. Melted down all the other pins I was workin' on to make this.

Figured if one pin didn't feel like enough... might as well just combine 'em all and hope it conveys even half of what I feel about you.

Najuma helped, too.

Think the moment she decided to trust you was when I knew you were a keeper.

WaterFireEarthAir

Player

I'm glad she likes me too.

Hodari

You should hear her gush about you. Think you're her new role model.

Player

Najuma's a great kid!

Hodari

...It means a lot, that you spend time with her.

Player

I knew I'd win you over eventually.

Hodari

That confident, huh?

I like confident.

Player

I guess I can keep you, too.

Hodari

Sure hope so, seein' as how I already accepted your pin.

...I know I ain't much of a talker, but this... you and me.

Didn't think I'd feel this way again.

For the first time in a while, I'm... excited. For the future. For us. For whatever the world will throw at us next.

Long as I get to face it with you.

S'probably enough sap for a year of syrup, so I'll stop there.

I've got work t'get back to, but... I'll see you soon, darlin'.

Post-Quest

Upon speaking to Najuma wearing Hodari's pin

Najuma

You're wearing it! The pin!

I was half worried he'd peki out at the last minute and remake it again.

But, um. I'm glad he figured it out. And that you said yes.

Not a lot of people really listen to me... but you do. So I'm... glad, you're the person he likes.

A-anyways, now that you two sorted that out, I never have to think about my dad's love life again.

Thank the dragon. Seriously.

Upon speaking to Sifuu wearing Hodari's pin

Sifuu

There it is! You're wearing his pin! Knew Hodari'd come through.

Good pin design too. Sturdy smithing work. You can always trust Hodari to deliver quality.

Well, I'm glad it all worked out for you two!

Now maybe you can give me some dating advice sometime.
