Buddy says it wants to go to the RUINS- it's not scared, and they could check out the berry bushes later to cheer themselves up after, in case it was scary. Dad agrees, saying that getting the rough stuff out of the way might be best. They came here to have an adventure, and nothing was going to slow them down.
Everyone gathers up their supplies, Primus giving Buddy a hug and a pat on the shoulder before letting it take shelter inside his stomach pocket again. He promises to carry it until they got to the ruins, and they set off immediately.
The TCPs talk on the way.
Primus wants to know how everybody's feeling, because he can't help but feel a bit nervous about all this. He says he knows he's supposed to be the adventurous one of the group, but something feels off.
Dad says she'd like to get some loot out of this deal, and isn't keen on returning empty handed. After all, she says, if the knife WAS a treasure, there had to be more chests elsewhere.
Buddy says it wants to become braver, the sound of its metallic voice muffled through the security of Primus's stomach pocket. That's all.
The group goes quiet.
