What is Love?

My quarterback!

Grantes is still sitting at the bar because grounded birds are terrible people.

Grantes is more open to speaking with us, but he's still standoffish. Hand the piano player the sheet music Cara gave us, and she'll remark how simple it is. But it's still very good. A somber but still regal and somehow hopeful track plays, which Grantes recognizes instantly. It's the same song Cara played when she took his flute. He's more open to discussion but doubts Cara still loves him. Noa doesn't understand love yet, so Gala does it. Noa finds it fascinating! But Gala's words reach Grantees. He asks us to tell Cara something, but it's stupid because we meet both of them in Cara's house in Buma.

Noa shouts that she's here as she walks in on Cara and Grantes in a near moment of passion, embarrassing both the adults. As thanks for reuniting the two lovers, Grantes tells us the whole story. He was a Soren until he was cast out of his tribe for falling in love with Cara. They took his winged seru as punishment, and that's what he's been moping about since. But Cara's more import now. But his worst sin was falling for Zora's deceit. She promised him plenty if he gave her the seru eggs in Buma's Genesis Tree. But Zora betrayed him after her floating castle was built. Grantes gives us his flute, which we can use to call his people atop Mt. Dhini to the north. Cara also finally gives Noa her egg. We can hang around to discuss what love is, and Noa finally figured it out. Sorta. Cara calls her romantic love silly and envies what Noa has.

Mt. Dhini is at the top of Karisto, so enjoy the walk. The layout of it is reminiscent of Ratayu but without the hidden paths. It's really disappointing. There's a new earth seru, iota, and you can find an accessory that rewards you with fewer encounters. Vahn plays one note on the flute, and four Soren descend from above. We're too high of altitude for the mist to be here, so they're safe. The Soren get mad that we're not Soren, but Gala insinuates they're allies of the mist. The leader, Luctes, refutes that, and Gala informs them we're here to save the world. We need their help to reach the Floating Castle, and the Soren have a discussion. It ends because they need to talk to their elder. The three nameless boys pick up our party and take us to Soren Base. We have to speak to their elder...

...tomorrow!

Grantes is Luctes' brother, and they're both the children of the elder. Scandalous!
