Dialogue

Hmm... I've asked a bunch of people, but I still haven't been struck by any particular inspiration... Hmm... Girl, what are you gonna get him this time around...? YEEEEOWCH! Oh my gosh, Notte! I'm so sorry! No, it was my bad. I was totally flitting about with my head in the clouds. You too? I've been trying to think up a good thank-you gift for the prince. Shut the front door! Same here! I've given him so many gifts over the years that my brain is mush when it comes to thinking of something new. Really? What'd you give him? Lemme consult the old brain library... Well, I gave him honey once... Berries... A handful of acorns... Oh, and Zethia and me gave him a flower crown! Wowsers. That's a lot of stuff. Yeah, but this time I'm really focused on giving him what he wants more than anything else. He says the thought counts most for him, which is both totally him and suuuuper not helpful. It's probably why I end up struggling with this every year. That IS very like him. He gave me some paints, and I was so happy when he said he picked them out just for me and—OH MY FREAKIN' GOSH! Ack! What is it?! Fiends?! Bandits?! Fiends riding bandits?! I just realized what's more important than something being unique or flashy! We have to collaborate, Notte. Do a collab with me! Uh, I guess that sounds nice or whatevs, but what does it even mea— Great, thanks! Okay, first, we've gotta interview some people. C'mon! Waaaaait! Tell me what's going oooon!

...That's about all I can tell you. I hope you find it useful.

I am thrilled to help with your gift for the prince. Do be certain to show it to me once it's complete, yes?

No one could manage this gift but you, Fleur. I suspect His Highness will be most pleased with it. Dude, I'm feelin' reeeal good about this here present. Guess this is what you meant by us collaborating, yeah? Anyway, I'll lend a hand or a wing or whatever you need. Let's crush this canvas! I can't waste all the help everyone gave us, so let's go!
