Meteion 	...
 	
Hermes 	I fear this discussion may take a while, during which time...
Hermes 	Meteion? Are you feeling unwell?
Meteion 	It's not me, Hermes. It's you...
Meteion 	I won't go to the meeting. I'll stay with [Player Name].
Hermes 	Loath though I am to impose, may I leave Meteion in your care again?
Hermes 	I'm in your debt. If you'll excuse me...
 	
Meteion 	Can you help me with something, [Player Name]?
Meteion 	The meeting will make Hermes sad. I want to cheer him up. With a flower.
Meteion 	Hermes likes flowers the most. Of all the creations in Elpis.
Meteion 	Most creations are expected to be interesting. Or beautiful. Or strong. Better in some way.
Meteion 	But flowers are different. They're designed to suit our emotions. What we feel and want to convey. Hermes likes that.
Meteion 	I can't make flowers. So I'll search for one. And I want you to search with me.
Meteion 	Let's start here. At the Twelve Wonders.
 	
Meteion 	Let's search the Twelve Wonders first.
 	
Meteion 	All right! I'll wait at the building.
 	
Meteion 	Hermes is still talking. We still have time!
 	
Meteion 	Oooh, so big and bright! I love them!
Meteion 	...But they might be too bright. You have to think of the recipient. That's what Hermes said.
Meteion 	Let's head outside next. Don't worry─we won't wander far.
 	
Meteion 	No flowers... If there were apples, we could've covered them in syrup...
Meteion 	Let's head outside next. Don't worry─we won't wander far.
 	
Meteion 	Lots of flowers in the fields. We should be able to find something nice!
 	
Meteion 	These would be better for Hermes...but they're hedged in.
Meteion 	That means we shouldn't touch them. They're either under observation or poisonous.
Meteion 	Any other place should be fine, though. Let's keep looking!
 	
Meteion 	Vibrant or subdued...? Interesting or plain...? Hmmm...
 	
Meteion 	Oh, a coneion! A flower that can move!
Meteion 	When Hermes wasn't looking, it shot seeds at him. Not a good gift, maybe...
Meteion 	But you're good, [Player Name]─at spotting flowers! We'll find something soon!
 	
Meteion 	You're good at observing, [Player Name]. Just like an observer!
 	
Meteion 	Hmmm, nothing around here... Ah!
Meteion 	Over there, [Player Name]! Something big! Huge!
 	
Meteion 	Come on, let's get closer! But not too close!
 	
Meteion 	It's an adonis! The things around its mouth look like petals. But the flowers are the orbs on its head!
Meteion 	When Hermes inspected it, it swallowed him up. He didn't leave his room for days. What do you think, [Player Name]? Would he like it?
 	
Meteion 	So not this one either...
Meteion 	Finding a good flower... It's harder than I thought.
Meteion 	I'm sorry, [Player Name], but could we search a little more? Maybe as far as the fields over there. I'll pick something after that, I promise.
 	
Meteion 	I've never given a gift before... Were you nervous too? For your first time?
 	
Meteion 	Awww... There's nothing...
Meteion 	...Hm? The shiny thing over there. What could it be?
 	
Meteion 	I learned something new recently─the meaning of Philomythes Notos!
Meteion 	“Notos” is a south wind person...and “Philomythes” is his joy! Why is he joyful? Because this place is so beautiful!
 	
Meteion 	Ooh, Elpis flowers! They're here too!
Meteion 	Hermes likes and dislikes them. At the same time.
Meteion 	Like me, they're entelechies. Like me, they feel his pain and turn dark...
Meteion 	That's only for Hermes, though. For others, they're always white and bright.
Meteion 	Truly!? The flower was dark in your home!?
Meteion 	Then...do you have it too? A dark emotion?
 	
Meteion 	I see...
Meteion 	Hermes has known the same. The feeling that a part of you is gone. Again and again. But no one notices...
Meteion 	Please, [Player Name]. Won't you lend it to me? Your pain and sorrow...
Meteion 	I see...
Meteion 	Hermes has felt the same. A fire burning in your breast. A trembling hand. But no one understands...
Meteion 	Please, [Player Name]. Won't you lend them to me? Your fury and frustration...
Meteion 	I see...
Meteion 	Hermes has felt the same. A shortness of breath. The walls closer and closer. But only him. No one else feels it...
Meteion 	Please, [Player Name]. Won't you lend them to me? Your doubt and anxiety...
Meteion 	You don't have to say it. I can feel it's something you want to hide.
Meteion 	But won't you lend it to me? The darkness inside you?
Meteion 	I want you to make the flower dark. In front of Hermes.
Meteion 	He has been in a dark place. Since before he created me. He needs to know that he isn't there alone. That others are sad too.
Meteion 	Truly? You'll do it?
Meteion 	Thank you, [Player Name]! Thank you! It means more to me than I can say!
Meteion 	I can't wait to see how Hermes reacts! Let's go back and fetch him!
 	
Meteion 	It seems they're still talking. Let's wait until they've finished.
