Leilah[Player]! Yuelia!

YueliaLeilah! It's good to see you. How are you feeling?

LeilahI'm just fine now, thanks to you.

LeilahIt's been so busy in the forest since we started working on the Goddess Ship.

YueliaAre those two goons causing you any trouble?

LeilahPierre and Butch, you mean?

LeilahThey're always hard at work, from dawn till dusk!

YueliaReally?!

LeilahYes. They are an odd pair, aren't they?

LeilahIt's very rare for a monster to grow so attached to another species, especially hoomins...

LeilahBut Chompy trusts those two as if they were a part of his family.

LeilahThat must speak to their possessing pure hearts.

YueliaUm...aren't monsters ever...wrong?

LeilahTee hee! Maybe. But all three of them are very kind.

LeilahPierre has been looking in my direction quite a bit, but he won't speak to me. So I asked him out.

YueliaWhat?! You did?

LeilahIs that wrong? Is it forward to do that with a hoomin?

LeilahI asked him to gather some mushrooms with me. He ran off, stopped, and then accompanied me. But he still didn't say anything the entire time.

YueliaYeah, that is kinda weird...

LeilahHe certainly has a good eye for mushrooms. He could rival even our best mushroom pickers here!

YueliaI think he's had quite a bit of practice with that.

LeilahThe hoomins I've met recently have shown me how much there is to learn in the world.

LeilahThese friendships have happened so quickly, and yet the bonds feel well worn...in a good way!

LeilahI can't wait to visit other parts of Reveria so I can meet other hoomins!

YueliaWell, if that is what you want most, Leilah...

YueliaYour wish has been heard!

LeilahDid you make that light just then, Yuelia?

YueliaYeah...I sparkle sometimes. Can't help it.

LeilahThat's amazing!

LeilahIs there no limit to your wondrous powers?

YueliaHA! Well...y'know, I mean...maybe someday we'll have time to sit down. I could teach you some tricks!

LeilahOh, that would be so wonderful! I would love to be able to sparkle on cue!

LeilahDo you think maybe, once all this is over...

Leilahsince Pino said I would be free to travel...

Leilahperhaps I could accompany you and [Player] on one of your journeys sometime?

YueliaOf course! We'd like that!

YueliaWhat do you say, [Player]?

LeilahGreat! I look forward to making new friends with the two of you at my side!
