Welcome, welcome!
Here, make yourself at home.

Thank you. But unfortunately we
need to be leaving very soon.

Are you leaving before
that young knight is back?

The situation's changed a bit.

Did something come up?

You could say that.

If there's anything I can do to
help, don't hesitate to ask.

We appreciate the sentiment, but
we can't ask for your help.

I see... Then, it's not
much, but I'd at least
like you to take this.

Who, me? I didn't
do anything at all.

But since your friend helped
us out so much...

Well then, I'd be happy to--

No, we can't take that!

Oh... um... yeah, I guess
I can't... take that...

But then how will
I ever repay you?

Well, how about this. The next time
we come into town, set us up with
VIP blossom viewing picnic seats!

That's a great idea!
I can't wait.

...All right then. The next time you're
here, I'll put my heart and soul into
paying back what you've done for us!

Oh, can I ask you one thing? Have you
ever heard of a town called Aspio?

...Aspio? Ah yes, I believe
that was the name of the
City of Shade...

The City of Shade...

From what I've heard, the town lies
between tall mountains, and sunlight
rarely reaches its gates.

Every now and then, a few quiet
folks in cloaks and hoods come
to our town to get supplies...

But they're quite creepy, to be honest.
Our town doesn't deal with them much.

Where is the town located?

Towards the east, I think. I wish I
could tell you the exact location...

Flynn was headed east
as well, wasn't he?

Yeah. I suppose a “city of
scholars” might have some
link to blastia, after all.

Thanks, that's all I needed.

I'm coming for
you, Mordio!
