Friend Event - True Feelings

Mithra tells you that she's busy at the moment and then asks Lotus to bring her something. Lotus didn't hear her though, and so she yells and asks him a second time. He goes over to fetch the item, but instead he brings her a Black Rock. Mithra explains the item she wants again. While he was trying a second time, Lotus somehow knocks everything on the floor, including himself!

Why did she make Lotus her assistant?! Mithra explained that he kept pestering her about it until she finally caved in and gave him the job. It's obvious he isn't very good, and she thinks your questions are a bit odd.

Lotus finally comes back with the glass item she requested and says he had a tough time finding it among all the clutter. He tells you that he wanted to become Mithra's assistant because she had saved his life! Lotus tells you that he used to explore and travel a lot. Naturally there were lots of dangerous incidents he found himself in. One day about 10 years ago he collapsed while exploring and was saved by Mithra as she was walking by. Mithra says that's not exactly what happened, as she found him tangled up in a tree. True, Lotus says he climbed up a tree by a river and fell from the top. Mithra says she would of left him there except there were alligators in the river, and she simply didn't want to see him get eaten. Once he discovered that Mithra was the great professor who wrote one of his favorite books! Ah yes, Mithra remembers that book and assumed that there was anyone out there who knew about it. Lotus just knew he had to become her assistant and asked her every day about it. He tried doing anything he could to help her to impress her. Mithra says that he was helping without asking and actually ended up breaking a lot of things.

Mithra says that Lotus came every day, even if there was a typhoon or raining. One day he finally collapsed from exhaustion. She felt so bad that she finally agreed to make Lotus her assistant. Lotus is pleased to her that she felt bad, but Mithra scolds him for it. Just because he always goofs things up or sets of traps doesn't mean that she hates him. Mithra would never have someone as her assistant if she hated him!

Lotus is rather pleased right now, so you try to suggest that he might tell her something that he would typically keep to himself. He thinks for a moment and reveals that he wished that Mithra hit him a bit less, as it really hurts. Mithra tells him she doesn't hit that hard. Besides, if he was more together, then she'd have no reason to scold him.

Mithra tells him that he is invaluable to her, as there's not many people who have worked with her for a long time. His positivity is rather astounding, as no matter how many traps he gets caught in, he is always positive about it. She finds him useful and is glad she made Lotus her assistant. There, that's something she would not typically say!

She then wonders why you even showed up here today. No particular reason you tell her. Mithra thinks you've wasted her time and demands that you join her on her next investigation as compensation. As a matter of fact, she wants you to help her with some analysis. Mithra leaves to fetch her notes, while Lotus tells you that this is an opportunity for you to escape.
