After Vaan and the Elder Spirit enjoyed Emerald's moment of happiness, the latter gathered his thoughts before saying, "Junior Vaan, if you don't mind, this Old Man has a favor to ask."
"Senior Willowthorn wishes to ask the Holy Wood Spirit to revive the Divine Tree of Life?" Vaan guessed.
"That's right," Senior Willowthorn confirmed with a nod.
However, Vaan wasn't in a hurry to agree. After a moment of silence, he replied with a question instead.
"Reviving the Divine Tree of Life isn't impossible. However, how much do you know about the world outside the Garden of Thyia, Senior Willowthorn? Are you aware of the situation outside? Would it be wise to revive the Divine Tree of Life blindly without knowing what's going on?" Vaan asked.
The Elder Spirit immediately paused before sighing, "I've assumed that since you were able to come to this place, the great disaster had passed… But, perhaps that is not the case?"
