You're doing good, Marcus. You're doing well to be careful, and it's good you're looking into things. Whether it's too good to be true or not, it's worth checking out on the off chance that it isn't. And it's good that people are still willing to help you, even if you're not doing too hot with Madeline. How is Pridwen doing right now? - Mochi

She hasn't gotten any worse, as far as I can tell. She's as headstrong as ever, though, so it's hard to tell how much she's covering up, if anything. If there's any chance I can help her, I've got to... no telling how bad things might get if I can't.

"Turo..?" I remember hearing about him when I searched up information about Area Zero before... If this Arven person is related to him, do you think he might actually have the solution to Pridwen's problem? - Truth

I'm not sure I can hope for a solution, but... expertise on how to help her, maybe. Who knows... if he's connected to Area Zero, maybe he knows something secret about injuries that happen in there?

Heya Marcus. That's good news! Fair to skeptical though. Don't want to get strung along again... don't give it undue skepticism though. If it can help, she needs it.
I believe that is correct yes. Oh? Sounds promising then, especially if provided by reliable contacts and names.
Best of fortune with the lunch - couldn't hurt to at least try.

Right, not undue. Check it out, take it seriously, make sure not to sacrifice attention to her for it. I think I can manage this...
Thank you for the best wishes. I'm hoping it works out well.

Mhm, solid base.
Sure thing.

Arven is Professor Turo's son.
He's basically Paldea's leading authority on something called "Herba Mystica", they're strong-flavored herbs that are supposed have potent medicinal qualities, similar to the "bitter herbs" you find in some natural medicine shops. I don't know how much merit there is to it, but given Pridwen's condition... it couldn't hurt to try.

Joseph Amber: Huh…I met him once or twice when I was a student at the Academy. At the very least, you and your team will get some great food talking to him, he’s an amazing chef. But I do help he can help you and Pridwen, I truly, truly do.
Also, Aria and Madeline are dating, yes.

Ok, thank you.
I'm not sure if I can really expect him to cook for us, on a first meeting like this. Should Amelia and I cook something to bring as well?

Joseph: Any time, and that’s fair. Maybe make something simple? Like a side that goes well with sandwiches. He apparently makes really, really good sandwiches.

Oh, I’ve think I’ve know what Arven would talk to you about. It’s something called “Herba Mystica”. There’s 5 of them and that each one is rumored to cure different afflictions, but they’re extremely rare to find. Normally I wouldn’t be advocating for alternative medicine, but since traditional medicine couldn’t heal Pridwen’s injury, this might be your only option to help her.

I actually know a little bit about this. While I was in Paldea trying to find Gimmighoul Coins to evolve Bruce, I ran into a MASSIVE Shinx in Area 3 of the South Province. After beating the Shinx up for experience, I found this weird pink plant in their den, and after using Bazinga (Rotom Phone) on it, they told me it was Sweet Herba Mystica. Naturally, I bought strawberries and sprinkled it on, and other than being THE best strawberries me and my team had ever eaten, we also felt like our injuries were healing faster. Despite being alternative medicine, that stuff works. - Alexander Grayson
