Prescription for Rest
(Captain) and company realize that Tikoh has not rested for a single day since joining their crew. Although Tikoh insists that she is fine, the crew tries to invite her for some recreation again and again. When the young doctor sees how dejected the others are, however, she gives in and agrees to a short vacation by the lake.
One afternoon, (Captain) stands in a corner of the ship's deck, lost in thought.
The captain is pondering over what should be done about a certain matter.
Vyrn: Hey, (Captain). Somethin' wrong?
Lyria: You look really concerned. Do you want to tell us about it?
(Captain) explains the matter at hand to Vyrn and Lyria, who have come to check up on the captain.
Lyria: You were thinking about... Tikoh?
Tikoh is a young, traveling doctor skilled in healing magic who is now journeying with the crew on the Grandcypher.
She uses her own room on the ship as an office to see any crew members who are in need of medical attention.
Lyria: Huh? You haven't seen Tikoh rest at all?
Vyrn: Hmm. Now that you mention it...
The Twelve Divine Generals had held their assembly at the campground on Groz Island not too long ago.
The crew had tagged along to spend some quality time with the generals, enjoying a spontaneous camping trip before continuing on their journey.
After a few days of camping, Tikoh had returned to volunteering at the local medical station beside the lake.
Lyria: Oh! Come to think of it... Tikoh was working the whole time we were camping too!
Vyrn: Yeah... We invited her to hang out with us a few times, but she was too busy. I completely forgot about that.
Vyrn: Wait. Does that mean she hasn't taken a break since then?
(Captain) points out that, in fact, no one has seen her rest—ever.
Lyria: Wh-wha!
Vyrn: You mean... she's been working every single day since she joined our crew?
Lyria: Th-that's true... Her office is open every day.
Lyria: Just yesterday too—I'd accidentally cut my finger in the kitchen, and Tikoh helped me patch it up.
Vyrn: Me too. When I was cleanin' the deck one time, I tripped and got several splinters in my paw. Tikoh carefully took 'em out for me.
Lyria: ...
Vyrn: Good grief... We needa do somethin' about this.
Choose: Let's make sure she takes a break.
Choose: Come on, let's go!
Vyrn: Yeah!
(Captain) and company rush to Tikoh's office and fling open the door.
Tikoh: ...
Tikoh is sitting on a chair with her legs crossed, her gaze fixed on the pages of a book in front of her.
The crew can't help but notice the title of the book: "Get Slim and Serious! Tips on Starting a New Diet and Lifestyle."
Tikoh: Hm?
Tikoh raises her head, and her eyes meet the crew's.
Lyria: ...
Vyrn: ...
Tikoh: ...
Lyria: ...
Vyrn: ...
Tikoh: Say something, will you!
Tikoh: If you have something to say, just say it! I can't help you if you don't tell me what's wrong!
Vyrn: Okay, um...
Vyrn: Ya know, if you wanna change up your lifestyle... maybe you could try goin' out and doing it instead of just readin' about it?
Tikoh: That's saying too much!
Tikoh: I told you to say something, but that doesn't mean you can say anything! Even too much medication can lead to an overdose!
Vyrn: Whoa, calm down! My bad, okay?
Sheesh, I was just saying...
Sheesh, I was just saying...
Tikoh: It's not like they're thick or anything! It's called being healthy!
Vyrn: What're you even talkin' about...
Lyria: Um, is there a reason why you want to "get slim"?
Vyrn: Maybe it's best not to go into the details, Lyria...
Eventually Tikoh's shoulders relax, and she regains her composure.
Tikoh: Anyway, is there something urgent? You didn't even bother to knock.
Vyrn: Sorry... We were worried about ya and forgot to.
Lyria: You see, we were just thinking how we've never seen you take a day off...
When (Captain) apologizes and explains that they were concerned for her well-being, Tikoh smiles and shrugs nonchalantly.
Tikoh: You don't have to worry about me. I'm sleeping, and I'm eating my meals.
Tikoh: It's true that I was working at the campground, but glamping really relaxed me, and spending time with everyone at the camp was fun.
Vyrn: But you were still workin' in the daytime, weren'tcha? You haven't taken a full day off.
Lyria: You must be really tired. You should let yourself rest!
Tikoh: Really, I'm fine...
Choose: Let's all take some days off.
Vyrn: Ooh, that's a good idea! If our entire crew takes time off, then Tikoh will have to too!
Choose: Let's all go on a vacation together.
Lyria: That sounds nice! I really want to go on a vacation with Tikoh and spend some time together.

Hearing this, (Captain) suggests they head for a beautiful lake that's known for being a popular vacation destination.
From what the captain has heard, many like to lounge around the lake area in their swimsuits, similar to Groz Island.
Tikoh: I told you, I'm fine. Don't worry about me.
Vyrn: Huh? But...
Tikoh: We can go to the lake, but I'm still going to look for a place where I can serve as a doctor there.
Lyria: Ooh... That didn't turn out the way we expected, did it?
Vyrn: Yeah. At this rate, doesn't seem like we're gonna be able to keep her away from her work for long...
However, (Captain) remains positive, saying that they should still invite Tikoh along for the trip.
Lyria: Yes, let's still try! We need to make sure she gets the rest she needs!
Vyrn: Yeah. We'll keep askin' until she agrees!
Lyria: Tikoh, will you please join us for a trip to the lake? I really, really want to go there with you!
Tikoh: Thank you, Lyria. But I'm okay, really. I want to do my job as a doctor.
Vyrn: Ergh, I feel sick... I've got the chills, a stomachache, nausea, and, uh... my joints hurt...
Tikoh: That doesn't sound good... Let me take a look.
Vyrn: Oh, I already know... I've been workin' too much. I think it'll get better if I just take a break.
Tikoh: ...
Vyrn: So yeah, I think I'll be takin' a few days off... But I'm worried I'm gonna feel sick during, so could you come with me just in case? Ya know, as my doctor?
Tikoh stretches her hand toward Vyrn, as if to medically examine him. She reaches underneath his arms.
Tikoh: Tickle, tickle, tickle...
Vyrn: Bwah! Gyahaha!
Vyrn: Hey, stop that! Gahaha! S-stop ticklin' me!
Tikoh: You can't fool me with fake symptoms.
Tickle, tickle, tickle...
Tickle, tickle, tickle...
Vyrn: A-ack! Sorry... I'm sorry! Gahaha!
Vyrn: Whew, I thought I was a goner... My arms are still tinglin'...
Vyrn: Who would've thought that she'd be this stubborn... I can't believe how intent she is on not takin' a break. She's gotta be tired.
Lyria: Do you think Tikoh... just doesn't want to spend time with us?
Vyrn: No way! Is that why?
Tikoh: ...
Vyrn: I'd be really sad if that was the real reason...
(Captain), Vyrn, and Lyria look down dejectedly.
They begin to wonder if Tikoh simply prefers working rather than being with them.
Tikoh: Of course not!
Lyria: Tikoh?
Tikoh: Sigh... I told you I was fine! Why are all of you still doing this?
Vyrn: Hey, you can be honest with us... Even if you don't wanna hang out with us, we still want you to take a break by yourself.
Tikoh: That's not the problem!
Lyria: But...
Tikoh: All right, fine! I get it... I'll take a break!
Vyrn: You will?
Tikoh: As a doctor, I can't leave all of you here feeling so depressed—it's not good for your health.
Vyrn: Heheh. You would say that.
Lyria: Hooray, we did it! We're going on vacation with Tikoh!
And with that, the ship's course is altered to head for a new destination.
Vyrn: Whoooa! This is awesome!
A number of people are swimming and walking around the area, enjoying the lake to their hearts' content.
Lyria: It's really lively here, and we're surrounded by so much nature. This is such a nice place!
Lyria: Isn't it, Tikoh?
Tikoh: Huh? Oh, yeah...
Vyrn: You don't sound so sure. Don't tell me you're still thinkin' about slimmin' down and stuff.
Tikoh: No! It's all about personal preference anyway!
Vyrn: Right... But I don't think anyone actually cares as much as you do. Maybe you're thinkin' too much into it.
Lyria: Are you tired, Tikoh? Do you want to sit down for a bit near the shore?
Tikoh: No, it's okay. I'm just not used to being on vacation, that's all.
Vyrn: Well in that case, we'll show ya how holidays work! We could go play in the lake first—the water feels nice on a hot day like this!
Lyria: Yeah! Let's take a float and relax in the water!
Vyrn: Okay, time to go crazy!
The Crew: Woohoo!
(Captain) is relieved to see Tikoh finally smile.
The crew had been worried that Tikoh wouldn't enjoy spending time with them as much as they wanted to relax with her.
However, it is clear from the bright expression on the young doctor's face that she, too, is enjoying her spontaneous vacation with the crew.
