Stretch, Aquila, Ehto, IP
Stretch turned to Ehto and proceeded to half-repeat himself without missing a beat.
"Ah, yeah, I was with Aquila earlier -hi!- but it's really nice to meet you, Ehto! I was just explaining how this place was almost definitely made by an animal person! See, being able to use all these different kinds of materials, like that metal which is definitely magic, needs a lot of magic juice proficiency, but at the same time this little tree is just a decoration and was probably just there to show off who the creator is! And since this is a tree, it's probably an animal person, because as I've seen in my adventures, rabbits can do this kind of thing and more with grass, so it's just a different kind of animal villager. But I've only ever known animal villagers to be kind, open people, so it's okay!" Here Stretch actually looked over Ehto and, seeing that she appeared to be some form of dog girl, nodded sagely and approvingly, "So that was the part I explained to IP. But the rest of what I was thinking was that, see, they can create a bunch of portals between worlds and stuff so they probably know everything, and we met that Artemis Duck guy so I know that there are a bunch of people having a bunch of other people form into teams to fight the Trespassy Guys. So that's probably what that is! A nice and powerful animal villager magic-juice-user probably put this together for us to make working together easier."
He turned to IP. "As for the wisdom I can provide... well, I guess what I'd say is that you should always make sure to look on the other side to see why people are doing things, and see the ways that you can make them like you! I once made peace between two villages by helping to solve the food problem that was making one of them raid the other, and also by stretching my neck way higher than the other guy could stretch his neck, which is a key negotiation tactic that I recommend you learn."
