It's Halloween soon. That's fine, I like Halloween, but there's something important everyone needs to know about pumpkins.

Turnips are better.

Speaking of which, I need some turnips. Does anywhere even sell them?

[Don't tell him. He hoards them.]

What do you usually do with turnips? We can see if there are any down here. Renart and I are looking into the large ship wrecked down here. There's rather a cornucopia of vegetables. I can bring a few things up for you, if you'd like.

And if you ask politely.

A few things. This time I wanted to make lanterns, but the ones in the Special Zone came in all sorts of weird shapes so I collected them.

Is politeness really required?

[Polite?! Impossible!]

I'm afraid the only things in odd shapes we've found down here are the pumpkins. A number of the plants seem to be larger than they should be, though. Where would I find turnips if I wanted to fetch them? On a vine?

[He's a city boy, Espio. Please don't make too much fun.]

And politeness is an absolute requirement provided you can't find something else I'd prefer more.

Seriously?

It's a root vegetable. The root of a plant. They're underground.

And can't I just bribe you with soup?

You know I make good food.

I should think me fetching you the vegetables to make your soup would entitle me to having some. I'd like something atop that. And if it's a root vegetable, then you're going to need to describe what the plant above looks like. Does it have flowers?

The fact I lived in Between makes finding something you like better than good manners easy to twist. Don't push your luck.

Just call it payment for rescuing you.

[That's more than enough to quiet Monty. He feels a flush across his cheeks, and finds himself extremely grateful for the text.]

Have it your way, then.

[He's mentioned the 'requirements' of Between to very few people here. He's neglected to mention that he's still under those requirements if he wants to use his belief magic.]

[Monty is rather fortunate that Espio is not one of those shameless people who freely and openly discuss these things, but he's made his point. He laughs a little to himself, imagining Monty's expression.]

Thank you!
