Dialogue[]
Daytime[]
- Raef: Not here yet, huh...
What are you waiting for?
- Raef: To tell you the truth, I'm not sure either.
- Raef: It might be those who left the village to buy some daily essentials, and it might also be the goods that our Eremite friends are sending over.
- Raef: Who knows? We might even receive guests from Shamaniyya.
- Raef: Alright, alright. In truth, my role is that of a lookout. I warn people of hazards that arise from the desert.
- Raef: That said, though, the desert around Aaru Village is a place of relative quiet, so what I usually end up reporting is the arrival of goods from outside the village.
- Raef: But thanks to that, I also get to hang out and chat with those who often travel outside, you know, maybe ask them to get me some seeds or a pot of flowers.
Fond of planting flowers?
- Raef: Well, uh, I... I just like having some to send to my girlfriend, you get what I mean?
- Raef: She's never been the healthy sort, so she's always at home resting and can't come out often... But she always looks way better when she has some plants for company.
- Raef: I mean, Aaru Village is as you see it... It's no haven for plants that need water.
- Raef: Many times, those flowers that do get sent over don't live long even when given a lot of loving care.
- Raef: That's why I ask my fellow workers to get some of that stuff whenever I get the chance.
- Sha-what-yya?
- Raef: Oh? Are you interested?
- Raef: According to legend, they are a group of people who dwell in the depths of the desert.
- Raef: Some say that they were not on good terms with the Akademiya, and thus fled deep into the desert to avoid them.
- Raef: Others say that they are an investigation team sent into the desert by the Akademiya.
- Raef: As for the details, I'm not very sure, but it's all hearsay. No one has ever seen them.
- Raef: But between you and me, I do hope that this legend is in fact real. It would be nice to see them and hear their tales from far away someday, you know?
- See you around.
- Raef: See you. Be wary of any changes in the environment when you are out in the desert!
Nighttime[]
- Raef: Dear, why did you sneak outside again?
- Nermin: Oh, uh, don't worry! The night's not quite as hot, so it's perfect for getting some fresh air outside.
- Raef: The night is much cooler than the day, which makes it all the more reason to take better care of your health. Besides, you should stay where there's more greenery...
- Nermin: Yes, I know, I know. I just need to get out sometimes, you know? Just sometimes.
- Nermin: Look at you! You're so young, but already sound like my folks.
- Raef: Wh—What? ...I mean, anyone who cares about you would say that! ...Ahem, anyway. How's the pot of flowers I gave you?
- Nermin: Um, yes, thanks for sending me the flowers. They are very beautiful. But the leaves are starting to turn yellow...
- Nermin: Sorry for not taking good care of them...
- Raef: N—No, don't apologize! It's fine, it's not your fault!
