[silly|"Hmm," Arona thinks. "That would be pretty handy."
"Yeah, that's... umm... What I was thinking."|
"That sounds like a really good tactic," she says, nodding.
"It would be pretty... handy!"]
"On my journey here, I saw one of the most amazing scarecrows on a farm in Harvest Valley."
"I thought he was really outstanding in his field."
"I've been hearing rumors of a harpy spy in the area."
"They say she's always in... da skies."
