Humans think love is forever, but it isn't. Even the love between parents and children can wither away as the decades turn into centuries.

There are always exceptions, though. Karollin's love for her son is one of them. Her steadfast loyalty, her hope...it puts my cynicism to shame. Almost.

It's worthy of a first-class banquet, at any rate.

Player: "How's the banquet coming?"

The venue's taken care of, so there's just the food to worry over. Since we're going for cozy, I'm inclined to use home-style cooking instead of anything trendy or fancy.

I think we should find the kind of things Aremion enjoyed when he was young.

Player: "Like what?"

Soft Potcrab Salad and Slink Meat Pie. Karollin says those were his favorites. I wonder where she used to get the ingredients? Easy enough in Altgard or Morheim, but nobody stocks that stuff here in Pandaemonium.

It's next to impossible to procure fresh Potcrab Meat and Slink Meat around here. I might need your help, Player.

Player: Accept.

Excellent. The flesh of the Dune Potcrabs near the Black Claw Village in Altgard is the softest in all of Atreia, and the best Slink Meat comes from the Ice Slinks that live in the frozen lake near the Morheim Ice Fortress.

I'm also going to need Raydam Vinegar for seasoning. Could you be a dear and pick some up from a food merchant? Thanks!

You're the best, Player!

Player: "That much is true."

Appetizers decided on...check. Drinks and cake...underway.

Only the Dune Potcrab and Ice Slink left to go.

Please tell me you've brought them?

Player: "Look what I've brought."

Are you planning to make a dramatic entrance halfway through the banquet, bringing the ingredients with you?

I need Potcrab Meat and Slink Meat and I need them half an hour ago! Please, hurry up!

Player: "On my way!"

You went all the way to Altgard and Morheim to get these?

And these are fresh! You didn't waste any time!

Karollin will really appreciate this, and it demonstrates your respect for Aremion's service in the Abyss. Thank you.
