Concern for a Friend

Bestowal dialogue

'I'd wager Falco Greenhand is the best gardener in all of Staddle, and that's saying quite a lot. He's very proud of that garden of his, and not without reason -- it's quite a sight! Recently he hasn't been coming 'round to visit like he used to, though, and I'm a little worried about him.

'In fact, I heard that his garden is going through a rough spell, and it might not survive the season! Maybe you can find out what's going on, and put my mind at ease? Falco's farm is south-west of here.

'Falco's a good friend, and I'd hate to see him lose that garden!'

Background

Gammy Boggs, the local town gossip, has asked you to find out why Falco's garden is failing.

Gammy Boggs: 'I'm not one to talk about friends behind their backs, but old Falco's been acting mighty quueer lately. Could you have a talk with him? His farm's to the south-west of here.'

Falco Greenhand: 'Please, leave me alone! I don't need this right now. I have too much else to worry about than some busy-body! Shoo! My problems are not yours. Go tell Gammy that she should stop nosing about!'

Objective 2

• Talk to Gammy Boggs at her farm
