Taylin: Ta-dah! I set up a little scavenger hunt. Hid these medals in hives all across the bay!

Taylin: Thought I'd see how far your archery's come, Hasi.

Taylin: And make sure Player can keep up with us properly.

Taylin: ...So that's what you were doing, climbing all those trees. I knew your 'thought I saw a treerunt' excuse was flimsy.

Taylin: Just didn't want to give away the surprise. Now, if anyone runs out of arrows, I've got you covered! Just come back and pick some up.

Taylin: Ready... set... go!

Taylin: What? You didn't mention it was a race-

Taylin: (Taylin is already gone.)

Taylin: ...I hope you brought your bow.

Taylin: Hassian made it back just before you... buuuut I saved enough prizes for everyone. Here, a whole bag of Candied Kopaa Nuts!

Taylin: Your form was as perfect as ever, mama.

Taylin: Haven't shot an arrow in twenty years... but you never forget. Still, you two might give me a run for my money.

Taylin: Just... wish I'd been there to teach you, too. Guess someone else got to do that, huh?

Taylin: ...I taught myself.

Taylin: I'm sorry. You shouldn't have had to.

Taylin: It's fine. That's all in the past now.

Taylin: ...Is it? You keep saying that, but... a mom knows when her kid is hurting.

Taylin: ...Is that why you did all of this? Invited me out? You thought we'd have a nice chat, shoot some arrows, and I'd cry and bear my soul?

Taylin: What? No! I just wanted to spend some time with you.

Taylin: Why can't you just listen to me, then? Why can't we just have a nice conversation without you trying to dig up old wounds?

Taylin: That's not what I-

Taylin: Then drop it! Stop picking at it! I am trying my best to be fine!

Taylin: But you AREN'T fine, Hassian!

Taylin: AND WHOSE FAULT IS THAT?!

Taylin: ...

Taylin: ...

Taylin: ...I am going to go. Please don't follow me.

Taylin: (Taylin watches helplessly as Hassian stalks off.)

Taylin: Well. I messed that up about as badly as anyone could mess something up.

Taylin: ...I shouldn't have picked at it. Should have left it and waited to see if the scab fell off on its own.

Taylin: I just... get so worried that it's festering inside him, building pressure, until I lose him completely.
