[Finally, things were beginning to return to normalcy in Luceti. Well, as normal as normal can be in Luceti. Which, admittedly, wasn't very normal. But that was beside the point. Now that things were settling down, he could focus on other things. Important things. Very important things.
Like going to the store.
...Going to the store is very important, okay. Especially when you have an important task like finding a birthday present for your best friend. Asbel'd put it off a long time, unsure what to get Richard. Even now, he wasn't really sure. He was kind of hoping that something in the store might jump out at him. Like he'd see something that would just scream to him "Hey, I'm the perfect gift!"
Something caught his attention alright; a small, leather-bound book. Similar in design to the journals of Luceti, but also very different, Asbel goes to inspect the book. He didn't plan on getting a new journal for Richard. After all, he'd already gotten him a personalized one for Christmas last year. But still, something about the book was just calling to him. No sooner does he look at the book however does he freeze, dropping the book on the floor with a loud thud.
Anyone who happened to be in the store and decides to investigate will notice on the golden nameplate of the book is inscribed the name "Aston Lhant".]

[Sometime after that, Asbel turns on his journal, prepared to send out a few messages.]
Someone once told me they think that this place is actually listening to us. Just to find ways to drive us nuts. [A pause and then...]
...I'm really starting to think they were onto something there.

Sophie, I found some Sopheria seeds. If you like, we can plant them somewhere in Luceti. That sounds like a good idea to you, right?

Richard, are you at the house right now?
[He was hoping Cheria's baking hadn't already tipped him off something was afoot.]

[And sure enough, he'll be walking up to the flower shop just a few minutes later, looking around for Asbel and Sophie.]

Richard!
[Action]
There the two of you are. I was beginning to wonder whether I would have to send a search party.
[Action]
Haha, well, you know how curious Sophie can be.
[Action]
[matter of fact.]
[Action]
Somehow I'm not surprised. I knew I could count on you to help him out, Sophie.
[Action]
H-hey, I only took the wrong turn once!

[Action]
I'm sure you tried your hardest.
