“	You see, Tarah's got in her head that she needs to go find a partner, and she ran off yesterday talking about this great hero being spotted in the valley. I'm certain those stories were just the news of your escapades here and abroad, but I didn't get the chance to tell her such before she left. I thought she'd be back within the day, but she still hasn't come back. I wouldn't presume to ask that you indulge her, but would you please check on her to see if she's ok? And bring her back home if she isn't. She's... not really the type to do well alone.	”
— Kavi

The young marefolk Tarah left home looking for a great hero to be her partner, and hasn't returned. Her mother, Kavi, is hoping you can find her and make sure she's okay.

State	Acquisition	Description
0	Visit Kavi in the Marefolk Village	You've learned from Kavi that Tarah has left home in search of a hero in the marches she's heard news of. That hero might very well just be you... Kavi said that she might be some place nearby the large river that runs through the valley. There have to be some places near there you can check.
1	Find Tarah at Pupperidge Farm	You found Tarah and battled her into submission before carrying her back to Kavi's place. You somehow managed to let Tarah win, and she let you carry her back to Kavi's anyway? You found Tarah and talked her into a romance that involves less fighting. She was totally into it. You helped Tarah find a friendly shaman who was more than interested. Now all that's left is to tell Kavi.
2 complete	Return to Kavi in the Marefolk Village	You wound up helping Tarah yourself, and now she considers you married! Regardless of the actual logistics of that, she is quite adorable. You helped Tarah out by finding her a mate! Maybe you'll catch up with them again some time...

Detailed Summary

Acquisition

---

When the Champion enters Kavi's shop, the shopkeeper looks both hopeful and crestfallen, and asks the Champion for a moment. Kavi explains that Tarah, her bubbly daughter, wants to find a romantic partner and got excited about a great hero spotted in the valley, and she took off yesterday before Kavi could explain that this "hero" was probably the Champion. She still hasn't returned, and Kavi asks if the Champion could look for Tarah and make sure she's okay, as she's not the type to do well alone.

The Champion assures Kavi they'll keep an eye out, and asks her if she has any recommendations on where they might start looking. Tarah hasn't been outside of the village much, Kavi explains, and she suggests that Tarah might be close to the nearby river, for which she was named.

At Pupperidge Farm

---

Deciding to check Pupperidge Farm, the Champion encounters a sleep-rumpled Tarah coming up the path. Tarah is excited to see the Champion, and bubbles at them that she drank a bunch of milk at the farm and then forgot what she was doing... and then remembers! She was looking for the hero so that she could bring them home to her mom, and she asks the Champion for their help finding this person.

The Champion can respond:

Option	Tooltip
It's Me	Confess you are the hero. This will result in horse romance.
Help	You aren't really interested in this equine romance business, but that doesn't mean she should leave disappointed.

Romantic and Platonic Routes

It's Me

---

The Champion explains they're the hero Tarah was looking for. Tarah takes a moment to process this, and then excitedly asks if she needs to kick the Champion's butt for them to be mates--or maybe the other way around?

The Champion can:

Option	Tooltip
Fight	You'll have to be careful, but you're sure you could make a fight end well for Tarah.
Talk	Attempt to convince Tarah through conversation.

The Champion accepts Tarah's challenge, promising to make it fun for her. If the champion defeats Tarah, they explain they've never fought a more determined opponent; if Tarah defeats them, she is delighted, and the Champion is left laughing and in shock. In both cases, the Champion suggests they princess carry Tarah back to her home. After a short discussion of what it means to "princess carry," the Champion carries Tarah back to just outside the Marefolk Village, before setting her down outside the gates. The two walk in, hand in hand.

The Champion's all for getting to know Tarah better, but would rather not do it by fighting. They just need to choose how to convince Tarah that's the case. The Champion's options are:

Option	Requirement	Tooltip	Result
Ask	-	Maybe just ask if she doesn't want to fight?	Tarah immediately & happily agrees.
Flash Tits	Has Breasts	Maybe if you showed her your tits she'd change her mind.	Tarah is transfixed & agrees to not fight.
Flash Dick	Has Cock	Maybe she'd rather see your cock than fight?	Tarah gasps at your half-hard dick, and suggests going home to do "other stuff."
Flash Her Tits	-	If she showed her tits you'd be done for.	The Champion is defeated at Tarah's giggling display of her own tits.
Animals	-	Ask if she wants to go animal spotting instead.	Tarah and the Champion observe some of the local flora and fauna. Tired out, Tarah asks to go home.
Rock Paper Scissors	-	Ask if she wants to play rock paper scissors for it instead!	After explaining the game, the Champion can choose Rock, ending in a tie Paper, ending in their win Scissors, ending in their loss
Challenge Duel	Silly Mode	You aren't feeling silly enough for a duel at 10 paces. Pistols at dawn. Her reign of terror is at an end.	Not applicable. The Champion and Terror-AHHHH agree to a shoot out. The progression button changes rapidly, cycling rapidly through "Draw," "Three," "Two," "One," and "AHHHH!" If the Champion doesn't hit the button before it gets to "AHHHH!" Tarah shoots the 10-gallon hat off their head. The Champion and Terror-AHHH agree to a shoot out. The progression button changes rapidly, cycling rapidly through "Draw," "Three," "Two," "One," and "AHHHH!" If the Champion hits the button before it gets to "AHHHH!", they shoot Tarah's 10-gallon hat off her head.

At the end of each scene, the Champion offers to carry Tarah back to the Marefolk Village. After a short discussion of what it means to "princess carry," the Champion does so, setting their new mate down just outside the village gates. The two walk in together, hand in hand.

Help

---

The Champion says they don't know who that hero could be, but offers to help Tarah find someone "cool" to bring back home so Kavi can stop worrying. Tarah excitedly accepts the Champion's help, and they set out searching Harvest Valley for one of the Marefolk Village's huntresses, who might also be out looking for a mate.

After some time, the Champion finds a bay mare setting a trap in a set of bushes, and--after Tarah steps on a branch--gestures that she should introduce herself to the huntress. The bay mare, it turns out, knows Kavi well because the alchemist gives her medicine for her headaches, and she's happy to see if she and Tarah are compatible.

The Champion can:

Option	Tooltip	Result
Leave	You doubt they'd mind, but it's rude to peek and all that.	The champion quietly leaves.
Stay	Stay and watch.	The champion, hiding, watches as the older shaman introduces Tarah to sex, then literally sweeps her off her feet to take her home.

Returning to Kavi

TODO

The next time the Champion visits Kavi in the Marefolk Village, they ask whether Tarah made it home safely. Kavi confirms she did, and with a mate to boot! Both she and the Champion share their happiness at that the young mare is doing well.
