An Expert Opinion (Part One)

Heartslabyul Dorm - Lounge
Before the Scalding Sands trip...

Let's see, what'll the weather be like in the Scalding Sands tomorrow...? Totally clear! Lucky us, huh, Trey?

It's good you're checking the weather, but have you started packing yet?

Oh, I'm all set! I'm a packing master 'cause I've moved around so much.

Ahh, I get you.

What are you two up to?
Oh wait, I remember. You mentioned you were taking a trip to the Scalding Sands tomorrow.

[MC] and Grim told me about that.
You guys are going too?

Man, how is it fair that you guys and [MC] get to go while we're stuck here?

Oh, uh, so you guys heard about this, huh?
C'mon, don't pout. We'll make sure to bring you back some souvenirs!
And we'll get something for Riddle too, of course. Right, Trey?

For sure. We'll pick you up something nice that has a Scalding Sands vibe.

Sweet! I'm gonna hold you to that.

Thanks, guys! And I want to hear all about it when you get back.

Don't get too wild now. You're Heartslabyul students—you have a reputation to uphold!
And I hope you have fun on your trip.
We will. / Totally!

I can't wait to check out all the 'cammable spots there.
My camera's gonna be glued to my face!
Scalding Sands - Zahab Market
During the trip...

There are a lot of sweets and knickknacks around here. They'd make for good souvenirs.

You're not kidding. And everything's got that signature Scalding Sands style!
What'cha think, Trey? Wanna pick up our gifts here?

Sounds good. But what should we get...

I'm thinkin' individually-wrapped candies, since they're easy to pass out.

How about these chocolate-covered dates, then?

Ooo, nice! The packaging's real cute, and dates are definitely a Scalding Sands thing.
But some people might not like them, so it'd be good to get something else too.
Hey, check the accessories in that stall to the left. Are they adorbs or what?
Some of our more stylish dormies might appreciate a bracelet with unique stones.
Hmm, but the soap in the stall further back looks so nice; it's got coconut oil in it. That would be a great gift too…

Okay, rein it in, Cater. Weren't you going to buy some sweets?

Ahaha, sorry! There's so much cool stuff here, I got distracted.
Okay, focus! Now what would everyone like...?

......

All right! I got souvenirs for all our dorm buddies!
Even the gift wrap is cute. The guys are gonna love this stuff.

Cater?

Oh, hey Jamil. What's up?

I saw the things you bought...
And I couldn't help noticing they were all for other people.
Don't you want something for yourself?

Huh?

If nothing here interests you, I'd be happy to show you some other stalls.
Since I'm your tour guide today, I want to make sure you're having a good time.
And we might not be able to come back later for more shopping.

Aw, you've been the perfect guide! And I've been eyeing some stuff for myself too, trust me.
I just had so much fun picking out gifts, I got carried away!
You know me. I'm like Heartslabyul's resident chill big bro!

...That sounds more like Trey.

Ahaha, you think? Trey's more like a dad, IMO.
(Jamil's pretty sharp.)
(He really notices things about other people.)
Oh! That gives me an idea!
Hey, Jamil!
How about you pick something out for me? Since I haven't scored anything for myself yet.

What? Why me?

Well, if I'm gonna get something from the Scalding Sands, I might as well get an expert opinion.
Besides, didn't you just say you wanted me to have a good time?

Rgh...
*sigh*
Okay, fine. ONE thing.

Thanks so much! I can't wait to see what you choose.


An Expert Opinion (Part Two)

Scalding Sands - Zahab Market

So, Jamil. I know I asked you to pick out a souvenir for me, buuut…
We've been walking for like five minutes now. Where are we going?

We're almost there... Ah, here we are. It's the shop to the left.
Vendor
Welcome! Feel free to have a look around.

So what do we got... Wow, check out all these fancy outfits and little pouches!
Is this all silk?

Yes, and they're all embroidered with traditional Scalding Sands patterns.
I noticed your phone case is from a popular brand.
And your bag's the same brand as well, which says to me that you accept no substitutes when it comes to your stuff.
So I figured you'd prefer something that's more for locals than tourists.

You seriously noticed all that?
Well, I am loving all this chic stuff, it's true.
Ooh, is that a scarf? That looks like it'd be easy to style!
Vendor
You're welcome to try on whatever you like.

Really? Thanks!
In that case, I'm gonna try this scarf on.

It's VERY yellow. You certainly go for the bold colors, huh?

Yeah, I'm a big fan of bright colors. Just looking at them cheers you up, y'know?
What'cha think, Jamil? Am I rockin' it?

......

Eesh, that doesn't bode well. Not a fan?
Okay, how about this black one with the white pattern?
Neutrals are always a safe bet, and this could go with lots of outfits!

That's not what I meant. They both look fine on you.
I was just going to recommend a different one— that scarf further back, on the right.

Huh. You mean the cutesy salmon pink one?
It's not really a color I usually go for...
But come to think of it, I read in a magazine that peach tones were the next big trend.
Wow, Jamil, you even keep up with fashion!

Actually, I didn't suggest it because of that.

Really? Then why?

I just thought a softer color suited your personality, Cater.
You're so friendly and easy to get along with. You give off a gentle vibe.

Huh...
That's really how I come off?

Yeah. I've been grateful for your and Trey's steadying presence today.

Whoa! That's quite a compliment.

You've given me your fair share of trouble as well, but still.

You mean 'cause we invited Najma along? C'mon, what's a vacation without a little excitement?
Seriously, though. I didn't know you saw me that way.
I'm flattered, honestly.
Okay, then I'm gonna get this one.

Wait, you're just going to take my suggestion? You might want to try it on first and see if you like it...

Of course I am! You put a lot of thought into it.
Besides, I totally dig it.
Excuse me! I'd like to buy this!

What a nice little side trip.

Want me to take a picture of you in front of the store?
You could post it to Magicam.

Hah, you get me, Jamil! Sure, go ahead. Here's my phone.

Okay, get ready. One...two...three...

Thanks! Let's see how it came out.
You know, I think you're onto something. This cute kind of color works on me!
Ahaha! And look at the goofy grin on my face.

And the scarf's so breathable and soft. I really like it.
New scarf, new me!
Hey, I just got an idea, Jamil. How about I pick out something for you, since you were nice enough to do it for me?

That's okay, really...

No, no, I insist! Cay-Cay's got you covered.
I'll choose something just as nice for you! You can count on it!
