I never knew you, but I am not like you

[Ever since their trip to the Chura Islands, Alice has been wanting to go back and check it out some more. Pretty easy when half your team has Fly, it turns out! So you can find her on Crabrawler Coast, where she lays some coins on the mystery altar.]

I know this isn't your altar, Lord Dome, but I hope you can hear me anyway. It's been a long time, and --

[She pauses, notices you, turns a bit too far, and then turns back.]

Oh, hi! You're here too?

[Later, at Drakhari Bay, Alice is eagerly watching the Drakhari swim around, and she writes in her notebook as Shellock seems to be talking to one. She'll wave if she notices you.]

Isn't this fascinating? This place reminds me of something a friend from Hoenn used to talk about.

[She'll be back on Ohritori by nightfall, at her lab, which is officially done building and open for business. There's a sign out front now, announcing that anyone can come in if they need help with research or just to talk to Alice and her crew!]

So far, I haven't got a type focus or anything like that. I'd just be happy to hear anything about why things here are the way they are.

[themaskkeeper]

Okay... I will... tell you what I find next time... I explore. I write notes.

[A pause.]

Try to... write.

[His writing is not great. So he can just read off what he wrote to her when he does get around to adventuring more.]

Is anything else I can help with...? Grab food?

[domeinion]

Oh, that won't be necessary. But it's very nice of you! Are you looking into learning more about Ultern, then, or is there another reason?

[themaskkeeper]

Learn more and... Alice friend. Friends help friends, yes?

[domeinion]

[Alice tilts her head. Slowly, she smiles.]

You're right. I'll need to help you out with whatever it is you're looking into now that you're back, then, too. It's only fair.

[themaskkeeper]

I jus' eggsplore island. Is fun to go on adventure. So... anytime I find something interesting... I report to you. If Alice is happy, Chenzira happy!

[domeinion]

Really? That's nice of you! Still, you can count on me if you need something. I don't want to do nothing but take.
