;(After completing The Exile: Blooming)
:Sabbah: Here for a chat? I've been wanting to talk to somebody.
: This is a Sumeru Rose that I picked.
:;(If this option has not been selected)
:;(Submit )
::Sabbah: How I miss this sight... Here, your presents are ready too. Please, take them.
::Sabbah: They're all seeds of plants that won't grow here. If you have a yard somewhere else, you can watch them mature there.
:;(Obtain , and )
: Which Darshan were you with, by the way?
::Sabbah: Oh, I could talk for three whole days about that!
::Sabbah: I was with Amurta and specialized in plant evolution, so you could say my work was evidence-based.
::Sabbah: That means it is impossible to reach new conclusions without new forms of evidence. Simply put, fossils are necessary for the study of historical plants.
::Sabbah: But there are only so many fossil samples available, and the Akademiya is limited in its ability to provide new ones.
::Sabbah: Those were the circumstances, yet the institute still demanded results.
::Sabbah: So some people would just take a previous study, revise or add something to it, and turn it in. You also find that quite pointless, right?
::Sabbah: In truth, we could make new discoveries for sure if we looked towards history and geography for new materials.
::Sabbah: Certain literary documents that Amurta would usually ignore could be used as well, though that would surely cross into Vahumana and Haravatat territory.
::Sabbah: I was not proficient in those fields, and requesting the related files was too troublesome, never mind working with their researchers...
::Sabbah: But I believe that if we could actually work together as a team, many questions of the past would finally be answered.
::Sabbah: It's a shame that we couldn't continue our collaboration attempts. I must say that people in Vahumana and Haravatat have very peculiar perspectives, though...
::Sabbah: I had to be very careful with my wording and phrasing in my submissions to them to avoid misunderstandings and misinterpretations.
::Sabbah: Before I was kicked out of the Akademiya, I was still in the middle of an argument with someone from Haravatat. Now I can't even do that...
: How's life in Aaru Village?
::Sabbah: It's alright. I have food and a roof over my head. All the essential things in life are taken care of.
::Sabbah: I was banished, after all, so I can't dream of having books and research instruments here.
::Sabbah: This place has been used as exiled scholars' banishing grounds for quite a while. Life is hard and practical here, so naturally, no one here is interested in academics or research.
::Sabbah: I'm certainly not the first exile, and probably won't be the last.
::Sabbah: All I can do is to learn to live with it.
:Sabbah: Ah, I just rambled for a long time... But it feels good.
:Sabbah: Before you got here, I really didn't have many friends, and it could get pretty lonely.
:Sabbah: Very few people in the village are into gardening.
:Sabbah: ...Well, that's not entirely true. An old man living to the north of the village also plowed a plot to grow flowers.
:Sabbah: I've visited him before. He's a slightly eccentric old man.
:Sabbah: I saw him planting stones, but he insisted that they were flowers, and even kicked me out.
:Sabbah: It must be lonely, living all by himself. I can understand that.
:Sabbah: You helped me with my Sumeru Roses... Maybe you can help him with his plants too.
:Sabbah: You and Paimon should visit him if you get a chance.

;(After completing A Gifted Rose)
:Sabbah: The Sumeru Roses we planted and the Golden Roses in Affan's nursery have both been growing nicely. Thank you so very much.

: How's life in Aaru Village?
::Sabbah: Oh, I've been doing alright. Thanks for your concern.
::Sabbah: The neighbors have been very kind to me, and Affan swings around to chat often, so... I'm definitely a lot less lonely than I was before.
::Sabbah: Though I fear that I can't just get books or research equipment whenever I want, I believe that as long as I desire to seek knowledge, I shall find it, no matter where I am.
: Have a great day.
::Sabbah: You too. Safe travels.
