Dialogue and Mail

Speak with Najuma at your plot about her father.

Najuma

U-um. Hi.

FireEarth

Player

Hi!

Player

Did you need something...?

Najuma

So this is really weird and you can deny it if you want but-

Are you trying to date my dad??

EarthFireWaterAir

Player

Yup.

Najuma

Oh. That was, um. Easier than I expected.

I'm not here to interrogate you or anything.

Player

Key word *trying*.

Najuma

I-I'm not really surprised. He's almost as shy as I am, honestly...

Anyways, I'm not here to interrogate you or anything.

Player

Does that bother you?

Najuma

No!

I mean, I... think it would be good for him. To, um, find someone.

Anyways, I'm not here to interrogate you or anything.

Player

Can't help it, your dad's hot.

Najuma

C-can we please not talk about how h-hot you think my dad is? Ew...

Anyways, I'm not here to interrogate you or anything.

Najuma

I'm here because he won't listen to me, and I thought maybe he'd listen to you instead.

Yesterday he was complaining about a sore throat, and then this morning when he woke up I could hear him sneezing all the way in the workshop!

He's in total denial about it. He keeps saying it's allergies, but I know he's sick.

I was wondering if maybe you could convince him to take a break before he passes out in the mines or something...

Player

I'll talk to him.

Najuma

Thank you...

Speak to Hodari.

Hodari

AAAACHOO!

(Player). Didn't, uh, see you there. Not that I ain't glad to see you, but. Y'need somethin', or...?

AirEarthFireWater

Player

I need you to not die, please.

Hodari

What? Don't be dramatic, m'not dying. At least not anytime soon.

It's just some- some-

AAAAAAAAAAAACHOOO!

...some sniffles.

Player

Najuma told me you were sick.

Hodari

She did, did she? She's worryin' too much.

Player

Are you feeling okay??

Hodari

M'fine. Don't look so worried, worked through a lot worse than this.

Player

I just wanted to check in on you...

Hodari

I know that tone. Najuma roped you into this, huh?

It's just some- some-

AAAAAAAAAAAACHOOO!

...some sniffles.

Hodari

...Look, I can't exactly afford a break right now. S'too much to do in a day for me to be slackin' off.

Who's gonna make sure Najuma gets breakfast? Check all the supports to make sure nothin's gonna collapse? Survey new plots to make sure new folks have a place to stay?

Then there's the repairs around the house, and the ore ain't gonna mine itself.

AirWaterFireEarth

Player

The world won't collapse if you take a single day.

Hodari

No, but it'll sure make the next day harder.

Player

I'm worried about you.

Hodari

I've been gettin' by this long.

Player

What if I take over for the day?

Hodari

I can't ask you to do that. Last thing I want's to make your life harder.

Player

Sounds like a lot of excuses.

Hodari

Good excuses.

Hodari

If you really wanna help, maybe you can go talk to Tamala and pick up some medicine.

That way I can focus on what needs doing.

Option 1Option 2

Player

No. You go rest, I'll take care of the work.

Hodari

...Not sure I've ever met someone as stubborn as me, before.

Maybe that's why we get along so well.

But I, uh. Fine. You've made your point. I'll... take it easy today.

F'you could help me with dinner, the rest of it can probably wait until I feel better.

...And thanks, (Player). Guess I'm not used to havin' someone else watching out for me.

Player

Alright, I'll go get some medicine for you.

Hodari

Thanks, (Player). S'nice.... havin' someone else watchin' your back for you.

Ain't really used to it, but... reckon I don't particularly mind it, when it's you.

Better get back to it. Lemme know when y'get the stuff.

An' make sure y'get it from Tamala. Chayne'll just lecture me about takin' breaks again.

Starts alternate quest Powering Through

Speak to Najuma with stew in inventory

Player

I brought you some dinner.

Najuma

Did my dad ask you to?

I told him I could handle dinner tonight! Ugh, you cause one fire making soup and they never let you forget it.

But, um. Thank you! For dinner, and for getting him to relax.

I know I get annoyed with him sometimes, but... I'm also really glad. That he's my dad.

And that he wants to take care of me. I just worry that he doesn't let anyone take care of him, sometimes...

I-I should go. Thanks again, (Player)!

Speak to Hodari with stew in inventory

Player

Brought you some food!

Hodari

Hmm? Oh, thanks.

S'nice. Yer nice.

Probably too nice, sometimes... Always doin' things for other people. Lookin' out for them, even if they ain't lookin' out for you.

Anyone tries to take advantage of that, you let me know, okay?

AirEarthFireWater

Player

Wow, you're like really sick, huh?

Hodari

M'fine, just... a little tired, s'all.

Player

The same goes for you.

Hodari

Y'can take advantage of me any time y'want, darlin'.

Player

You can take advantage of me anytime.

Hodari

... Might take you up on that offer.

Later. When m'not sneezing m'brains out.

Player

I don't think I'm too nice...

Hodari

Y'are. But I like that about you.

Hodari

...should get back t'my nap. Thanks, darlin'.

Speak to Hodari the next day

Hodari

(Player)! It's, uh. Good to see you.

...So, listen. I didn't say anythin' weird yesterday, right?

Memory's a little foggy. Because of the allergies.

EarthAirFireWater

Player

Define 'weird'.

Hodari

...Let's just move on and say I didn't.

Player

You proclaimed your undying love and then took your shirt off.

Hodari

...

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say I didn't do that.

Player

Nope, you were just really nice!

Hodari

We both know that for me, that is weird. But... m'glad I didn't make you uncomfortable.

Player

Well, you called me 'darlin'...

Hodari

I see. And... is that a problem?

WaterAir

Player

Not if you don't think it is.

Hodari

...I don't think I mind it either, darlin'.

Player

Nope. As long as I get to pick a name for YOU.

Hodari

I figure there's not much talkin' you out of somethin' once you set your mind t'it.

So, call me whatever you want, darlin'.

Hodari

I wanted t'thank you, for handlin' dinner last night. So I was makin' somethin' just for you.

Here. Eat it, toss it in th'trash, leave it on the counter... whatever y'want.

I feel better today. Think I can handle catchin' up on all that work that piled up.

And that's thanks t'you. So...

Ahem. Anyways, I should get back to it. You'll... stop by again soon, yeah?
