Must we return at all? Every time we've been here has been terrible!

[ Dry, but he doesn't...entirely not mean it. Between Froslass and this... ]

You would rather stay in the Bay forever?

The only other way out is across the water. [ On top of that direction not being a priority for obvious reasons, let's not talk about how fire types and the ocean mix. ] And exploration will be important to the guilds. You know. Starting from a station closer to the destination is more efficient.

[ Making the day trek out from the Bay before venturing further isn't impossible, but that's a lot of effort spent on avoiding Skull Town ... even if it's been somewhat cursed so far. ]

We can camp.

[ Normally he might tease a little. He knows he's the more experienced camper of the two; most of their expeditions haven't exactly been multi-day treks. Ingo just isn't in an especially light mood.

...he should still say more than that. ]

...at least in the colder months. Though it does not seem Froslass is an annual visitor...

Hmmmmm. [ No real inflection change, but it's a little drawn out. ] Haven't done that much camping in years. The gears are all rusty.

[ He could, probably, but. He thinks he's adjusted quite well to the situation here so far, thank you very much, it's only been 10 months,

but the Bay is still a fairly established settlement, all things considered. ]

... she will not be there all the time. Prrrrrobably.

[ Even in the colder months. She did just leave. ]

[ Ingo squints out at the trees a little, as if bemused. ]

I suppose I have never really thought of it as optional.

[ He's camped much, much less in the past year, but that is only because they had nowhere to travel to until recently! The wilderness must be crossed here just the same as Hisui. ]

She likely only comes in the winter. But the locals were not very clear on how many winters.

[ ...Ingo blinks a second later, frown deepening slightly. It just occurred to him that he's speaking as if their presence here next year is a certainty. ]
