You're clearly not an optimist.

[Harry Baldman]

You're clearly not an optimist.

"And your quest is clearly quite pointless, considering that by the time you could even consider catching up to whatever things you imagine took your father's honor away - as if he didn't do it himself by giving up like a complete pushover - anybody who might have even cared will probably be dead anyway. You're much better off as a squirrel."

[Xantalos]

Niklas' eye bulges.

Did you just call my father a pushover?

"Yep. Total disgrace, the way he handled the situation. When you're wronged, you seek restitution yourself, not hide in some hole and sulk away until death comes along and reaps you out of pity."

[Xantalos]

HE WENT OFF INTO THE WILDS TO KILL BEARS UNTIL HE GOT BETTER AGAIN! TAKE YOUR INSULTS BACK!

Aww, Niklas looks so cute when he's in a murderous rage!

Aww, Niklas looks so cute when he's in a murderous rage!

"And what difference does that make? Killing bears is but a form of sulking, seeking easy pleasures and quarries because you're frightened of facing true threats."

[Xantalos]

WHO ARE YOU TO THINK BAD OF MY FATHER?! HE WAS DISGRACED IN FRONT OF THE CHAIRMAN HIMSELF! YOU CAN'T JUST SHRUG THAT OFF!

WHO ARE YOU TO THINK BAD OF MY FATHER?! HE WAS DISGRACED IN FRONT OF THE CHAIRMAN HIMSELF! YOU CAN'T JUST SHRUG THAT OFF!

"Perhaps, but you can also not fall apart and try to behave like a man, take responsibility and strive to prove yourself worthy of respect even in loss, live to fight another day rather than destroy yourself when things don't work out how you want them to."

[Xantalos]

^{Stop trying to destroy my image of my father as a good man. I think he was more mad at succumbing to the drugs of the ninja anyhow.}

Niklasquirrel is now positively melancholic.

Then why scorn me? I went off to avenge ourselves on the ninja! So tell me, wise squirrel priest, why am I being punished by fate for that?

"Because it's a waste of time, this revenge thing. To gain respect and fulfillment, more productive pursuits are needed. Service to the Nut Gods is one such pursuit, though you may feel free to come up with other answers on your own."

[Xantalos]

But I have found fulfillment in besting southern chefs! Only trouble is the mages there keep destroying my body. I'm not really even physically here, this is more of a mental construct thing. I think.

"Besting southern cuisine is hardly a tough challenge to tackle, is it? I hear it is distressingly bland and lacking in unprocessed animal parts. Although, now that you're a squirrel, new avenues of difficulty in that regard will surely spring up."

[Xantalos]

Some in the far south are interesting, but I've really just been doing that to pass the time while I search for the homeland of the ninjas.

"Provided they have one, that is."

[Xantalos]

Could you perchance ask the Nut Gods where it is?
