> "Ought to see if there's an 'adult toll' now. (Chat with the kids at the rock.)"
(Might as well, given they're on the way to your proper destination.)
(You walk towards the broken bridge and stop in front of the big rock. the Sky-Loving Kid is dancing to a tune of her own, the Wizard-Loving Kid is resting atop the rock, and the Frog-Loving Kid is keeping to themselves with a frog-themed project.)
(The Sky-Loving Kid takes notice of you first, and keeps dancing as she looks at you curiously.)
"............ You look so weird. Are you and your bird up from the sky?"
*gasp*, Oh my, how could you tell~? You must have quite the eye for sky people.
"Yesssss... I knew that was true... If you two are from the sky then... I'm going to give you this. It fell from the sky, but I'm giving it back."
(She gestures a rather unique leaf towards you stoically.)
Ah, I was wondering where I left that. Thank you so much for keeping it safe for us.
(You got a Four-Pointed Leaf. You put it with your other belongings.)
"Hey, Hatted One."
(The Wizard-Loving Kid chimes in. You turn to look as they look at you.)
"My mother was talking about someone else with a bigger hat than yours. She said they were a traveler but their hat's bigness didn't mean they were a wizard, because wizards aren't real."
Aw, she just hasn't seen a proper one yet. There's only one thing you need to be a real wizard.
"Really? What's that? Will you tell me?"
(They lean in closer, their eyes alight in curiosity and excitement as they do their best to keep calm and cool.)
Why a special keepsake of course. I've got a coin myself, but it can be anything you hold dear.
"Wow... Amazing."
I know, it's always quite the unexpected info. I was surprised to hear it myself, but I'm sure it'll help you plenty as it did for me.
"! I knew it. Thank you, wise wizard."
Don't mention it, always happy to help a fellow wizard~.
(You tip your hat to the Kid, and they tip theirs back enthusiastically before settling back down in their prior position on the rock. Finally, you walk a bit closer to the bridge and stop beside the Frog-Loving Kid. They appear too shy to make eye-contact as they make their embroidery.)
"...…..."
… (It's a tad awkward, this silence. Guess you might as well start this exchange.)
Say, that's quite the project of yours. I'm guessing you like frogs?
"...Yes."
Well from one frog-liker to another, do you want to know what their favorite hobby is?
(They pause for a bit and finally look towards you in intrigue
"...What?"
Making Croak-chet~.
"Oh! Hehehe, 'Croak-chet', like the sound they make!"
(They show off a genuine smile towards you as they giggle before going back to their embroidery. You wave goodbye to them as you take the queue to leave. Even though it was your own joke, you're quite amused by it yourself.)
