The shop owner replies, "Let me give you a bit of advice. I can see that you're very heroic and rarely hesitate. That will really help in battle; however, don't rush in all situations haphazardly. Make sure to assess the situation first and take note of your surroundings. I can see that HalfStep is very intelligent and can think on his feet. Try to possess these traits, and you'll have a much higher chance of surviving. As for whether I traveled with a party member, let's just say it didn't end well." He looks down and a small tear is visible from the man's eyes, but he quickly regains his composure.
