- You never lost the first one.
- Hassian
- I find that hard to believe. I've been nothing but dismissive and cruel for as long as you've known me.

Letter from Hassian
Dear (Player),
I've done some thinking about what you mean to me. I realize I haven't given you the chance you deserve. More than that, I'm afraid I may have ruined what chance you tried to give me. If you're still interested, please meet me tonight under the stars. I have something for you.
Hassian
Meeting Hassian under the stars
- Hassian
- You're here. Does that mean you've decided to give me another chance?
- Player
- I was starting to think you didn't like me.
- Hassian
- That couldn't be further from the truth. You... matter more to me than I can properly express.
- Player
- I just came for the present.
- Hassian
- You're just messing with me, right?
- I don't know why I put up with this... but for some reason, I like it when it comes from you.
- Hassian
- I hope that this gift makes my feelings clear.
- Player
- It's... a sandwich?
- Hassian
- Made from things I grew and caught myself, yes. Will you accept it?
- Player
- Nice, I was hungry!
- Hassian
- I'm glad to hear that. Shall I take that to mean you accept this gift?
- Player
- This isn't the giant pile of gold you promised.
- Hassian
- I never promised- oh. You're messing with me again.
- Will you still accept this gift?
- Player
- Sure.
- Hassian
- Good.
- Player
- Is that all?
- Hassian
- I just... wanted to see you.
- I apologize for making you come all this way. I just... needed to know if it was really your choice. Next time, I'll come to you.
- Goodnight, (Player). I'll see you tomorrow?
Surprise visit from Hassian
- Hassian
- You're home. Excellent.
- I hunted this beast for you. I thought you could make use of the antlers and hide.
- Player
- Um... thank you?
- Hassian
- If you need anything else... simply tell me, and I will get it for you.
- You know where I'll be.
- Player
- Oh, how useful!
- Hassian
- If you need anything else... simply tell me, and I will get it for you.
- You know where I'll be.
- Player
- Are you secretly a cat?
- Hassian
- I don't know what you're talking about. In any case, please accept this gift.
- If you need anything else... simply tell me, and I will get it for you.
- You know where I'll be.
- Player
- Why are you acting so weird?
- Hassian
- I am not acting weird.
- Just... take them, please. I will see you later.
Confronting Hassian in his grove
- Hassian
- What are you doing? It's nighttime!
- Player
- I wanted to chat.
- Hassian
- Now? Here? At night?
- Player
- What's night got to do with it?
- Hassian
- Everything! Come back when it's day.
- Player
- Should I come back later?
- Hassian
- Yes, you should. This is improper.
- Player
- We've talked at night before.
- Hassian
- That was before things... changed! Come back during the day. Please.
Asking about Hassian's weird behavior
- Player
- Hassian's been acting weird.
- Sifuu
- You're gonna have to be more specific.
- Player
- (explain the situation)
- Sifuu
- Pfffft. Really? What'd you do with the gifts?
- Player
- I kept them.
- Sifuu
- Probably for the best. But I gotta be honest with you, I have no idea what he's doing.
- I guess when I courted Taylin, I hunted a few beasties for her. But I don't know where he got the sandwich or the night thing from.
- Maybe you could ask Chayne? My son's a weird one. I wouldn't be surprised if this is some archaic Majiri thing.
- Player
- Hassian's been acting weird.
- Chayne
- Oh? In what way?
- Player
- (explain the situation)
- Chayne
- I see... I suppose 'weird' is all relative.
- I know exactly what he's doing.
- Hassian came to me a few days ago, asking about traditional Majiri courtship rituals.
- I explained that most of them had fallen out of practice, but he insisted, so I directed him towards a few old books on the subject in the library.
- I suggest you read them for yourself. It should give you a better picture of the situation.
- Hassian's always been the traditional sort. I'm sure it would mean a lot to him for you to reciprocate.
Asking about Majiri courtship
- Player
- I'm looking for a book on Majiri courtship.
- Caleri
- Excuse me?
- Well, I never! Some people have no shame. Hrmphf!
- ...Try the shelves on the right.
Learning about Majiri courtship
Dating for the Proper Majiri
Dating for the Proper Majiri
« A Step by Step Guide »
Only the crudest of Majiri would engage in a new relationship without following these important steps. By engaging in the proper rituals, you ensure that your new union will be blessed by society and the Dragon.
When initiating courtship, you must both establish your value to each other. Gifts and acts of service will suffice. While the initial steps of courtship are being followed, it would be most improper for the two potential partners to be seen together at night, especially without the permission of their parents.
Whoever initiated the courtship originally must then decide to take the next step in the relationship. Fetching the Midnight Lily which blooms only in the dead of night and delivering it to your partner will signify acceptance of the courtship. At this point, the two young Majiri may spend time together alone.
Giving Hassian the Midnight Lily
- Player
- This is for you.
- Hassian
- The Midnight Lily? Does that mean you accept my affections?
- Player
- I do. Weird as they are.
- Hassian
- I know you and I are different. I realise I shouldn't have expected you to understand Majiri tradition. Yet you still decided to follow it for me. That means quite a bit to me.
- Player
- Of course!
- Hassian
- I was starting to think perhaps you weren't aware of Majiri tradition. I'm glad to be proven wrong.
- Player
- If you'll have me.
- Hassian
- You've already more than proven your worth, (Player). I only wanted to prove I was worthy of you.
- Player
- You could have just told me what you were doing.
- Hassian
- I wanted to do things right. You deserve that much.
- Hassian
- I don't know how Humans court. Even some Majiri have stopped caring about our traditions. But you matter too much to me to let such important things slip.
- If we are to be together, then I want no one, land or sky, to oppose our union.
- Perhaps you think me strange or rigid... but still, you gave me this lily. You accepted that part of me as well.
- Thank you, (Player). With you here, Kilima may finally feel like home.
