Mmhm! There's this really bad disease where I'm from. There's no cure, and if you catch it, you'll likely end up dying to it eventually. Most people would have a few years before it kills them though, but I'd be a goner right away if I got it.
[ she points at herself. ]
For the first few weeks, any time I was out with you guys, that wasn't even really me. I was still paranoid that the disease was here, somehow, so I just stayed in our house and sent water clones instead. But I think I'm safe now, so.
[ I KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO BE SOME WEIRD WHACK LORE ]
....Oh! The bubbles.
[ water clones... wild. magic is wild. anyway. more seriously: ]
That's...awful that that's a problem in your world, Miss Pesti... we've had our fair shares of plagues at home, and they are always a tragic event to say the least. I... we don't have many bright sides to this place, but, I guess that definitely counts as one.
Has it come and gone in waves? Or are you all only dealing with it for the first time, where you're from?

No, it's a permanent fixture. It basically comes from a natural substance from our world. The only way to avoid it, really, is to settle in one of the few places without it and just... not leave there, or welcome anyone in. Even the air can be full of its particles.
Loads of people are, but no one has figured it out. I think it's partly because there is a lot about the origin source that we for some reason can't quite get...
[ she frowns, then shakes her head. more chipper, ]
Mm. [ rondo folds his hands behind himself, looking up at the tree. ]
... With the way things are here, I feel like we have to hold onto every silver lining we can find.
[ no matter how big, or how small. he drifts off for a moment, in thought - and then shakes his head and laughs a little, turning a smile to pesti. ] Can you show me some more cool things in the forest? I want to go around with an expert.
You'd probably love Orsterra, Miss Pesti. Every region is really, really different. Like... this place kind of reminds me of the Riverlands - that's where Alfyn is from. But where I grew up, you'd never, ever see as much greenery as this place has. The only reason we had any trees or anything was because my family had enough money to maintain them.
And then the place that I live now... it's frigid, frigid cold. All the time. I swear, it snows every single day. I thought I'd never get used to it! And there are so many different creatures everywhere, too.
Yes, definitely. [ yes he's from a place called the cliftlands... you'll never guess what the terrain there is... it will shock and surprise you (its cliffs)
as for the animal question, rondo nods, smile on his face. ]
Mmhmm! They usually tend to like me? I don't know why. [ it because he's a dog ] Maybe it's because I really like them!

Are you good with dealing with animals? Especially ones you're unfamiliar with?

Maybe they feel drawn to you for some reason.
