Hien 	Mayhap now would be a good time to speak with Gosetsu at greater length, and learn more of our countrymen's plight.
 	
Gosetsu 	Such kindness and generosity they have shown not only my lord, but us all. Victory in the Naadam will be a fitting repayment!
 	
Cirina 	It will be a little while before the meal is ready. If you and Lyse wish to fill the time, perhaps you could assist Dorbei?
Cirina 	He has many responsibilities, and would welcome your help. Nor would you regret making his acquaintance, for he is liked and respected by all.
Cirina 	You may find him by the other yurt, taking stock of our supplies.
 	
Cirina 	Leave the cooking to me! I promise I will not disappoint you.
 	
Dorbei 	Ah. One of the newcomers. Welcome. I spoke with Lyse.
Dorbei 	I bade her help the children gather fuel for the cookfires. I trust it will be a good experience for all.
Dorbei 	For you too, perhaps. Seek them in the south, across the bridge.
 	
Dorbei 	Please use the bridge. One should not sully flowing waters without cause.
 	
Lyse 	Oh, [Player Name]! Are you here to help too?
Lyse 	Great! So...I suppose Dorbei told you that the children and I are gathering “fuel” for the fires, did he?
Lyse 	It'll need to be dried before they can burn it, of course. You, um...you do understand what we're here for, right? Only, some people can be a bit squeamish about this sort of stuff.
Lyse 	Then again, you've never minded getting your hands dirty, have you? Anyway, we're trying to get four piles each. Good luck! And keep an eye on the children while you're at it, eh?
 	
Lyse 	The children are around here somewhere. You should talk to them. They're great!
 	
01girl02505 	Oh, you are Lyse's friend! Are you here to help us too?
 	
02boy02505 	...How do you do.
 	
03boy02505 	Traveler! I will not lose to you! I shall find three times as much dung as you─at least!
 	
04girl02505 	I cannot seem to find any dung here. Maybe somewhere else...?
 	
Lyse 	Well? Have you found your share yet?
Lyse 	Good work. I hope you took the time to talk to the children while you were at it.
03boy02505 	Lyse! Lyse! Look how much dung we have!
Lyse 	Wow, I'm impressed! I thought we'd gathered a lot, but it looks like we'll have to admit defeat!
04girl02505 	Dorbei will be happy we found enough...
01girl02505 	Not just Dorbei! Now we can continue making cheese! Not that I was worried─it was easier when we were living near that forest, but dung works just as well as wood.
Lyse 	I heard the Mol move from place to place─that the gods tell you where to go. That must be hard on you all...
03boy02505 	Hard? I do not understand. Why is it hard?
03boy02505 	It is better for the animals to move─to have more food to eat and land to roam. To stay in one place is harder, no?
02boy02505 	...From the heavens comes the rain which nourishes the soil. From the soil comes the grass which nourishes the beast. From the beast comes the flesh which nourishes the Xaela. Ours is the soil of one and all.
01girl02505 	But you Westerners are like the Domans─you live in the same place. In villages. And all the villages in one place are part of a “nation,” yes?
01girl02505 	Hien talks about nations sometimes. When he was injured, he spoke of Doma in his sleep, but I did not understand his words.
04girl02505 	Whenever I ask him about Doma, he just smiles and looks to the south...
04girl02505 	It reminds me of my mother when she waits for my father to return from a long journey... But Hien will not wait any longer, will he? Because you came for him. To take him back...because his nation is more important...
Lyse 	Um...I'm not sure how to answer this...
Lyse 	A nation...is a place, I suppose. A place...and the people in it...and maybe the things, too...
Lyse 	But more than that, it's the history, the traditions, the words. The stories we tell ourselves and our children. Everything that came before and everything that comes after.
Lyse 	The place we were born is part of who we are. We carry it with us, no matter where we go. Whoever...whatever we become, that part remains─that link to our fathers and their fathers before them...
Lyse 	It's...it's not important to everyone, I suppose, and that's fine. But it's important to Hien. And to me.
02boy02505 	...Some call the Mol fools for listening to the elder gods, but it is our way. Our pride. Our...nation?
Lyse 	Something like that. It's something precious that you and others share─and that no one can ever take from you.
Lyse 	But we can talk more about it later! It's time to go home. Dorbei is waiting!
Lyse 	I'll stay with the children. Why not go and let Cirina know how we got on?
 	
Dorbei 	You aided the children? That is well. I trust you enjoyed their company.
 	
Cirina 	Welcome back, [Player Name]. Did you speak with Dorbei?
Cirina 	Well, well! Then you will forgive me if I ask you to wash your hands. I shall pour you a cup of milk tea in the meantime.
Cirina 	The meal is almost ready, so we should summon Hien and Gosetsu...
 	
Lyse 	<yawn> That was just what I needed!
 	
Gosetsu 	A new beginning lies beyond the horizon. We have but to seize it with our own two hands.
 	
Cirina 	Was the food to your liking? Good, good...
 	
Hien 	Well, my friends! I for one am full of vim and vigor! I trust you feel the same?
Hien 	Then what better time than now to undertake our trial, and become full-fledged warriors of the Mol!
