Dialogue and Mail

Introduction

Receive a letter from either Jel or Tish, depending on who Kenyatta went to apprentice with at the end of Fork in the Path

Dear (Player),
Is it true you were the one to suggest Kenyatta as my protegee? I have to tell you she is as ill equipped for the role as any I have every seen. When I tried to teach her to sew, she told me she's really more of a "big picture person" and prefers to have the others do the menial labor. Since she has arrived my days have become as much of a waking nightmare as my nights. Help!

Jel

Dear (Player),
So...Kenyatta told me you were the one who suggested she get into furniture making? I was wondering if you could...um...talk to her? I'm not trying to be mean, but I'm also not trying to get her on the wrong Path. The latest chair she created could have doubled as a torture device. I'm not kidding...when Reth sat in it he admitted to stealing dessert from my plate when we were ten.

Tish

Progression

Upon speaking to Kenyatta

Player

So, about that Path...

Kenyatta

Yeah, no. Me and clothing just don't mix. Jel tried to explain the difference between chenille and chiffon and I almost fell asleep standing.

Then I couldn't even get the stupid needle threaded??

Kenyatta

Ugh, don't even get me started. I keep finding splinters in places they definitely shouldn’t be.

Seriously, Tish was supposed to be the prissy one, how does she deal with it all? My callouses have callouses.

Player

Well, there's always fishing...

Player

You could try cooking?

Kenyatta

Nah, I don't think that stuff's really for me. I was thinking maybe I'd try mining instead?

Najuma gets to play with explosives all day, and she seems to like it.

Plus, and you didn't hear this from me, but Hodari's, like, really hot.

Player

You're not really the mining type.

Kenyatta

There's only one way to find out, right?

Player

Seems like a good enough reason to me!

Kenyatta

I knew we'd see eye to eye on this one.

Player

I like mining, it's calming.

Kenyatta

As long as it's not boring.

Player

The explosives ARE a plus.

Kenyatta

Right? There's no way I'll be bored with that.

I just need to convince the Pavels to teach me. They won't take me seriously if I don't already have my own pick.

You think you can get me some materials to make one?

Upon returning to Kenyatta

Player

I brought the materials.

Kenyatta

Is iron supposed to be this heavy?

Anyways, thanks, (Player). I'll let you know how it goes!

Upon speaking to Kenyatta

Kenyatta

Crap, where is it?!

(Player)! Have you seen a bag around? It's like this big, full of medical supplies?

Player

Did something happen?

Kenyatta

You could say that.

I went to go learn from the Pavels. Hodari wasn't so convinced, but Najuma agreed to teach me some stuff.

So she showed me how to make a few minor explosives...

Player

What could go wrong?

Player

What happened?

Kenyatta

I just caused a minor landslide. Najuma says it happens all the time! But a sernuk got hurt in the fall.

I managed to stabilize it, but I can't find my medical kit!

The last time I had it, I was helping Tau with a thorn stuck in his paw, over by the western docks.

Could you check over there for me? I'll keep looking around here.

Upon returning to Kenyatta

Player

I found the kit.

Kenyatta

Yes! You're a lifesaver. Literally.

Thanks, (Player). I'll stop by later and tell you how it went.

Conclusion

Upon talking to Kenyatta at your Housing Plot

Kenyatta

The sernuk's fine. I just gave it a few stitches and a splint to support the leg.

Hassian said he'd keep an eye on it until it was ready to walk again.

Player

You know a lot about healing.

Kenyatta

I mean, a little, I guess.

I've always liked animals. I figured if I learned how to help them, it might come in handy.

It's just... something I picked up here and there.

Player

Don't sell yourself short.

Kenyatta

...You're right.

I like it. And I am good at it. It's kinda embarrassing...

Player

Kenyatta. You're awesome!

Kenyatta

I mean, I know that, but does everyone else?

I just... like helping out animals. And I'm good at it, at least I think.

But it's not like it could be my Path, right?

Player

Why not?

Player

It's exactly like that!

Kenyatta

...I guess I don't really have a reason why not. I'm just kind of used to being told to give up on the things I like.

But you're right. I'll go ask Chayne if he'll sponsor me.

It's worth a shot.

... Thanks for believing in me, <player>. I don't think I would've figured all this out without you.

Any time you need help, feel free to stop by, okay? I'm sure I can make some time for you.

Post-Quest

A letter from Kenyatta arrives with the mail after completing the quest.

Dear (Player),
I gave the sernuk a clean bill of health, but I just keep thinking... what if you hadn't been able to find the kit in time? I don't wanna screw up like that again. I'm gonna take this healing seriously.

Thanks again for saving my hide. I bet the sernuk's pretty grateful, too.

I saw this guy in the market and thought he could keep you company. Just don't stick your hand in the tank, okay?

Or do, I could use the healing practice.

Kenyatta
