I hope so. It can be hard thinking of little gifts in a place like this.

[ uwoh options!! ]

Laudna's so sweet. I remember she loved the haunted house from the first time she laid eyes on it.

Do you think she'd like red flowers? Maybe we can make her a small bouquet.

[IS HE…]

Oh, red flowers would be nice, something like spider lilies…

[SOMETHING SPOOKY]

I bet she’d like real spiders too… Maybe we can find some here?

[keeper]

I think she'd love those.

[ the spider lilies. as for ACTUAL BUGS... yeah, laudna would love those too...... aqua? not so much... ]

...I can get the flowers, if you want to get the spiders.

[ she's like no thnx...! ]
