Nai'o's Dialogue

Oh, hey! You must be new in town. I’m Nai’o.

My family runs the Daiya Farm over on the west side of Kilima.

If you need someone to show you around the barn or teach you how to ride a riffroc, I’m your guy!

I’m also good at lifting heavy stuff, if you need anything heavy lifted!

Oh, and here’s a carrot for Sugarfoot. Give her one of these and you’ll be her best new buddy!

If you haven't gotten the chance, you should try my mom's world famous spice sprout jam.

It's won the Bahari Fair gold medal over fifteen years in a row.

I’ve been trying to improve my workout ever since Kenyatta mentioned I looked slimmer. Not that it was true.

I took my shirt off and flexed just to prove her wrong.

It's been getting so hot out here lately, I've been tempted to work with my shirt off.

Only thing is, the last time I did that, Eshe charged me with public indecency...so I guess I better keep it on for now.

Working out really helps distract me from stress. If I just keep moving, bad thoughts can’t catch me!

This is usually the time Kenyatta sneaks out of work and hangs out with me.

Maybe she's got actual work to do today?

I like to get a couple of lunges in on the way to work. Stable work is all upper body after all.

Every crop has a personality, you know. Tomatoes aren't picky at all, but fruit trees are totally finnicky! And root veggies just like to be left alone.

An important part of caring for your animals is giving them daily doses of affection.

They tend to produce better for folks they know care about them.

If you see something that would make a gift fit for a lady, let me know.

I've been wanting to get my mom something nice to thank her for all she does.

Good to see my new workout buddy. Wanna be each other's spotters today?

Auni's always talking about going on these great big adventures, but I'm fine here on the farms, with the ormuus and the pekis.

Evenings are my favorite time of day.

They're when I get to spend time with my family.

My mom keeps bragging about me, because I tracked down Eshe's riffroc after it escaped last month.

I wish she would knock it off, it's super embarrassing.

My mom's been trying to keep it a secret, but I know she's having trouble making enough money off the farm to pay or taxes.

That's why I have to work as hard as I can to help.

Sugarfoot told me she's starting to like you. Next time you see her, sneak her an extra carrot just for me.

Shoveling fertilizer can be an unglamorous part of the job, but somebody's gotta do it!

I found these unique little meadow flowers while I was out riding the other day.

They were blue with purple spots! I'd never seen something like that before.

I wanted to pick some, but... I figured I'd leave them there to surprise the next person too.

It's important when caring for animals to make sure their grazing area is free of any dangerous plants or weeds.

My buddy Butterball once got into the wrong patch of mushrooms.

And let's just say...while the experience was entertaining, I don't think it's one my fuzzy little buddy would want to repeat.

I always make a to-do list of all the work that needs doing around the farm.

But then I usually forget the list in my room.

Maybe the first thing on the list should be "don't forget my list" tomorrow.

I like to get a workout in between taking care of the animals and helping my dad with the harvest.

I find building muscle helps build character, you know?

I work as hard as I can, so that someday my folks will be able to retire and live out their golden years in peace.

Yesterday, I found a muujin pup trapped in a well.

I scraped my arm saving it, but totally worth it to see the look on the little guys face when I reunited him with his parents.

We dug up the wildest carrot the other day, It looked just like the Dragon!

You don't... think it was actually him, right?

I have to make sure I get enough protein with dinner, or else I'll start to lose muscle mass. Wouldn't want that!

Don't tell him I told you this, but I'm really worried about Auni.

We used to be close, but he's been so distant since I accepted my Path as a farmer.

Keep an eye on the little guy for me, will ya?

Kenyatta mentioned she's been seeing Hassian and Auni playing cards at the Inn. I hope his rudeness doesn't rub off on Auni.

Do you think my clothes are...embarrassing?

My family can't afford anything nicer, but sometimes I feel self-conscious walking into town while I'm wearing pants with holes in them.

I had a terrible nightmare that the village was attacked by a giant dragon and only I could save everyone.

Totally unrealistic, right?

Who would believe a story about one totally normal boy from a farm tasked with saving an entire village?

Did you know there are over 72 unique color and pattern combinations for peki breeds?

I was reading all about it in "Peki Breeder's Monthly."

Sundrop is Kenyatta's riffroc. She named it after the Sundrop lillies that grow around here.

You wouldn't know it, but Kenyatta really loves animals. It's one of the things I like about her.

If you hear music coming from the barn at late at night, that's my dad.

He likes to pretend we don't hear him...but we totally can.

Did you hear? The Bahari Bay Phoenixes made it to this year's Roundball championship.

I wish I could save up enough money to take Auni to the championship game in the capital.

So theoretically if someone were to plan a super secret romantic date in the Elderwoods, what would you want to do?

Hey, you've been getting pretty good at gardening!

Isn't it nice being able to provide for others? No one goes hungry with a farmer in the family.

Good to see you around the farm again. If you ever need gardening or workout tips, I'm your guy.

If I wasn't a farmer, I think I'd probably want to play professional Roundball.

I used to love to go to Bahari to see games with my dad back when we had the time.

Sugarfoot tells me your place is pretty snazzy.

Well, she didn't actually say that because she can't talk.

But I can tell from the look on her face that she likes going up there.

Oh man, I can't wait for the Roundball championship! It's going to be such a great showdown.

Auni and I will be rooting for the Bahari Bay Phoenixes. What team are you rooting for?

I realized I never got to ask. Do you have a workout routine?

Sometimes I find it hard to understand Auni.

If you had to choose between farming and adventuring, which would you pick?

If we were running a farm together, would you want to take care of the animals or the plants?

I love that my family comes together every evening to share a meal. Does your family do anything like that?

My family and I were just arguing about our favorite crops.

I like onions, Mom likes tomatoes, Dad likes potatoes, and Auni says you gotta go with blueberries.

Good thing I caught up with you. I saved some (onions/tomatoes/potatoes/blueberries) just for you! I remembered they were your favorite!

Our pekis always make sure we're up with the sun.

Which I don't usually mind, but it would be nice to have the option of sleeping in occasionally, ya know?

Looks like Auni already left for his paper route.

Mom had something she wanted to tell him, but I guess it’ll have to wait until he gets back.

When I look at the colors of the sunset, I wonder who else is looking at those colors at the same time.

The stars are bright tonight. Did you know my name actually means "star" in one of the ancient Human tongues?

I know right, a fancy name for a regular guy like me.

Almost time for my to be hitting the hay.

Literally, that's actually what my mattress is stuffed with. I'm not surprised Auni prefers camping.

Just getting some evening chores in. Plus, bonus cardio!

Don't tell my mom, but I like to rush to finish my chores early so I can get a few push ups in before bed.

Nothing like a good workout to clear my mind!

Good to see my new workout buddy. Want to go for a little night run?

Evenings are my favorite time of day.

They're when I get to spend time with my family.

When the sun starts to set, it's best to stay inside.

There's some sort of creature that's been roaming our woods at night. It's taken off with several of our pekis.

Evening is when me and my family take a break from working on the field, but that doesn't mean our job is done.

My dad uses his evening sorting seeds, my mom works on cheeses and preserves, and I serve supper for the family.

Everybody does their part!

You want to try out my stew? I'm not much of a cook. So I just kind of chopped all the veggies that were too ugly to sell and put them in a pot.

Oh, you're interested in farming too?

It's always nice to talk shop with someone else. Maybe we can trade tips sometime?

Thanks again for the soup. It really cheered me up.

My mom's been trying to keep it a secret, but I know she's been having trouble making enough money off the farm to pay or taxes.

That's why I have to work as hard as I can to help.

Subira forgot to give me back my lucky acorn...but that's okay.

Hopefully it will bring her good luck too.

I'm glad Ulfe's okay. I told Auni about him, and he says we should build the little dude a treehouse.

I don't know if the little guy wants to live in a tree...

But maybe building it will be a good bonding opportunity for me and Auni.

Wow, this place is as packed as the Roundball Grand Championships!

Although there are fewer out of control animals here.

Unlike sports fans, Pekis and Trufflets don't like overcrowded environments.

That's why I added an extra pen to give you a little more room. You should be able to add up to ten more furry or feathered friends.

You’re here! Great! I’ve got something for you.

I was trying out some new recipes. I know it’s nothing special, but…

I thought you should be the first to try it.

Oh, hey! I was gonna come see you later. I saw this and thought of you-

Wait, no, sorry, that’s the new fertilizer I was trying out. Crap, where’d I put it—

+ 1

Wanna see me do a backflip? I’ve been practicing... just for you.

You know if you need anything, you just have to ask, right?

Though, maybe if I was psychic, you wouldn’t even have to ask...

...Have you seen Elouisa around anywhere?

You know, I think you’re BERRY cute.

...My dad said he used that line on mom when they met.

Did it work?

Hey, sorry I’m kinda sweaty right now.

Ma was asking when you were gonna stop by again.

I think she really likes having you around.

I was wondering if you wanted to come with me and Auni next time we go to the city?

Are you here to see the ormuu, or... me?

You’re back! Me and Sugarfoot missed you.

This is for me?

But I thought you and Kenyatta were... I mean, I was expecting her to come break up with me...

I'm confused.

You did? And...?

Wait, so. Kenyatta wants to keep dating me...?

And you... want to... too?

I... I mean, I've been thinking you're pretty cute, and you're nice, and you help me out, but...

You're sure? You, me, and Kenyatta?

I really like Kenyatta. But I really like you too. I guess I just never realized it was an option. But if you're both okay with it...

This is so exciting! Just you wait, I won't make you regret this!

Okay, uh... what's your favorite food? Your favorite color? Do you like carrots-

Wait, don't answer that. It's better if I find out naturally, right?

Kenyatta always tells me I need to pay better attention. Well, I promise I'll pay enough attention for both of you!

I... this is for me?

Chocolates! For me...

I like you too, Player. Next time, I'll get you the gifts!

Auni asked me if I could take him with me to the Maji Market later tonight.

I felt bad saying no to him, but he’s got a curfew and I really don’t want him to get in trouble with ma.

I’m going to bring him back some food from the market later. That’ll cheer him up!

I thought I’d come out here to support my ma. She’s running her own sweets cart.

It’d mean a lot to her if you bought one of her treats. Check them out when you get the chance!

I passed by Sifuu on the way to the market. She said she was going to stop by with Hassian once she’s convinced him to come.

She still hasn’t shown up, so I guess that didn’t go very well...

If you’re wondering where Auni and my dad are, they’re at home keeping an eye on the animals.

The Ormuus are fine by themselves, but the pekis can’t be left alone for too long, especially old Feathers. He gets weird when ma’s not around.

My pa says he’s got attachment issues or something like that. I feel bad for the poor little fella, even if he almost pecked my eye a couple of times.

Have you checked out Hodari and Najuma’s cart? They have tons of awesome fireworks for sale!

I was planning on bringing some back home for Auni... but then I heard my ma’s voice in my head, asking me why I thought it was a good idea to give explosives to my little brother.

Is it just me, or did the Maji Market suddenly get brighter?

...Or is it Ignis New Year? No, it's definitely Luna... Right?
