Dialogue and Mail

Asking villagers about the list

Player

I found an ancient document!

Einar

Unfortunately, as this list does not seem to contain any species of fish, I cannot discern what this recipe makes. Perhaps Hekla will know better.

Player

I found an ancient document!

Hekla

Let me see... Ah, yes! These are the ingredients for Human macarons!

Macarons are quite the delicacy among Majiri because they use rare ingredients and are quite difficult to make. But I remember they were common in Human times.

The ancient Humans had developed technologies that let them make the dessert taste just as good using much humbler ingredients.

Perhaps you should attempt the recipe yourself. As a Human, you may even find it easy.

Player

I found an ancient document!

Jina

Oh, oh! Read it to me! Please!

Player

(Read it to her.)

Jina

...I guess it's a... shopping list? For a recipe? But I'm no good at cooking. Maybe you should talk to Hekla. After all, she makes sure I remember to eat.

Player

What can I make with milk, flour, eggs, and sweet leaf?

Reth

Hmmm... that sounds like it'd make a pretty thick soup.

Showing Hekla your macarons

Player

I made the macarons!

Hekla

Ah, I hope they were both nutritionally and emotionally satisfying.

Your culinary adventure has inspired me. Perhaps I will make some for my Jina. Do you think she would like if they were mushroom flavored?
