You can also go hunting for ingredients. Although, it would be better not to involve anyone else in this./
Exactly. If you want ingredients, we can get them, of course, but it wouldn't be in character to involve Iwein in this.

The group discovers Amelia in her usual environment – in the river that flowed beneath her and Victor's house. Noticing familiar and unfamiliar faces, she steps onto land to greet them and inquire about the reason for their visit.
Kalentia introduces Iwein and explains the purpose of his visit to the woman.
“I’m sorry that you had to travel such a dangerous road just to meet me, but I wouldn’t want to be involved in this.” Amelia seemed unfazed by the information about the unusual device. “To be honest, one of the reasons I enjoy living in the wilderness is the opportunity to be alone, away from civilization and other people.”
“Please!” Amelia’s refusal plunged Iwein into despair. “Make an exception just this once!”
“…I’m sorry, but…”
“I beg you!” The photographer knelt, extended his hands forward, and touched his forehead to the ground. “Please!”
“I can’t…”
“This is very important!” Iwein’s voice became even more desperate, and he seemed on the verge of breaking through the ground with his forehead. “I beg you!”
…
After an indeterminate amount of time of awkward silence, Amelia finally relented and allowed the man to take a few photographs. After that, the swimmer said goodbye to the guests and disappeared from their sight behind the doors of her house, while the happy Iwein acquired five precious photographs.
— Alright, tell a joke first, and then talk about yourself and the people around you.
-Well... um... - Anders couldn't remember a single joke, but then he suddenly had an idea - I once heard that a Valkyrie who controlled water and the ocean died because she drowned! Isn't that a joke? It's a bit dark, of course - Anders frowned - okay, let me tell you about my life:
-I was born in the 1950s on the outskirts of Elheim. My parents quickly stopped taking care of me, so I had to forget about them. I joined a street gang, and by the way - Anders' eyes widened - that's when I first met you! Our leader had a talking cat, and I asked him what to do, and he said, "Get out of Elheim," so I left. Now I live under the roof of a kind baron who takes in various orphans and homeless people. There are many of us here, let me tell you a little about each of them:
Veserod - a stern, bearded man who owns a sheep farm. Actually, he has lived separately from the baron for a long time, but he still spends time with us.
Gulveig - Anders blushed - a beautiful girl with very... mmm... well, she's very beautiful and strong. Although a little clumsy.
Shino - well, she dresses and behaves like... What's the point of being shy, we're friends now? She acts like a prostitute.
Kalentia - I don't know what to say about her, but she seems like a very serious girl. It feels like she has her whole life planned out.
Anselm - there's not much to say about him, except that he's handsome and always spends time with girls. He either goes to church to see the local priestess or some blonde girl is running after him...
Renold and Ilva - I don't know much about them either, except that they always spend time together. It feels like there's only him and her, and the rest of the world is just... there.
Daniel - we have the same mentor, Matthias, so we know each other pretty well. But I don't like him, he keeps mispronouncing my name.
Rohei - well, he... he's different from us in that he has narrow eyes. But he seems like a good guy, he's always going to the hospital, learning how to heal people.
Alessia - well, I don't know anything about her at all, I don't think I even see her.
Eir - well, she's kind of crazy, but she fights very well.
Yua - and this is a girl we found in the forest not long ago. She was lying in a tree, and before that, a bunch of tree-people attacked us. It's all strange, but I hope the baron will sort it out.
Where do we go? Where do we end up when we save the world?
After an indefinite period of awkwardness, Amelia finally relented and allowed the man to take a few photographs. After that, the swimmer said goodbye to the guests and disappeared from their sight behind the doors of her house, while the happy Ivein ended up with five precious pictures.
The sight that appeared before Kalentia's eyes was perhaps the most pitiful of all that she had seen. Even the incident at Hans's house paled in comparison to what had just happened. Eir was right – it wasn't worth bringing Ivein here, even though the young man didn't have any malicious intentions. Before Amelia disappeared from view, Kalentia stepped aside with her and sincerely apologized for bringing such an inconsiderate guest – she hadn't expected the foreigner to have neither pride nor respect for other people's wishes.
“Well, Mr. Scabiosa,” the Argalian said, clearing her throat awkwardly, “have you photographed everyone you wanted to?”
Having seen his busy friends off to their respective destinations and leaving them to their own affairs, Veserod thinks: since he visited the church today and thus broadened his horizons in Baldur's Gate, why not consider this day a day of relaxation and exploration? He decides to take advantage of the occasion and draw inspiration from their bustling enthusiasm – by taking a look at the bulletin board, especially since his visit to Norbert slightly shook off his lethargy. Disregarding all mundane requests and a suspicious note from some scammer, his gaze settles on a modest request – a walk in the forest for some Britta. "This is doable," he thinks, heading to the designated address.
-Well... uh... - Anders couldn't remember a single joke, but then it suddenly occurred to him - I once heard that a Valkyrie who controlled water and the ocean died because she drowned! Isn't that a joke? It's a bit dark, of course - Anders frowned - but let me tell you about my life: -I was born in the fifties on the outskirts of Elheim. My parents quickly stopped taking care of me, so I had to fend for myself. I joined a local gang, and by the way - Anders' eyes widened - that's when I first met you! Our leader had a talking cat, and I asked him what to do, and he said, "Get out of Elheim," so I left. Now I live under the roof of a kind baron who takes in various orphans and homeless people.

It's all strange, but I hope the baron will sort it out.
— You're living a fun life, — the cat commented, — you're a lucky guy to be surrounded by so many close people. You should appreciate that... So, listen! If you need anything, ask Leo, and I'll be there. Sometimes I might even show up without warning, if you suddenly decide to jump off a bridge, cover yourself in tar, and set it on fire, or something. Got it?

The scene that unfolded before Kalentia's eyes was perhaps the most pathetic sight she had ever seen. Even the incident at Hans's house paled in comparison to what had just happened. Eir was right - bringing Iwein here was a mistake, even though the guy didn't seem to have any bad intentions. Before Amelia disappeared from sight, Kalentia stepped aside with her and sincerely apologized for bringing such an ill-mannered guest - she hadn't expected the foreigner to have no pride or respect for other people's wishes.
-Well, Mr. Scabiosa, - the Argalian coughed awkwardly, - have you photographed everyone you wanted?
- These photos will be my family heirloom! - Iwein replied with a rare display of enthusiasm and joy. - Well... I've already done what I wanted to do in Baldur, and since no one else has responded, I can say that the purpose of my visit here is coming to an end.
— These photos will be my family heirloom! — Iwein replied with a rare display of enthusiasm and joy on his face. — Well... The main thing I wanted to do in Baldur's Gate, I've already done, and since no one else has responded, I can say that the purpose of my visit here is nearing its end.
Having seen his busy friends off and left them to their own affairs, Veserod thinks: since he went to church today and thus broadened his horizons in Baldur, why not make this day a relaxing and informative one? He decides to take this opportunity to partake in their bustling enthusiasm – to check the notice board, especially since the trip to Norbert slightly shook off his sedentary lifestyle. Dismissing all the mundane requests and a suspicious note from some scammer, his gaze settles on a modest request – a walk in the forest from some Britta. "This is doable," he thinks, heading to the designated address.
The doors to Britta's house were unlocked, and Veserod was able to enter after receiving approval from a voice inside. — With whom do I have the pleasure...?

— Excuse me, did you "respond"?
— I've already almost forgotten, did I mention this already or not... The thing is, today I left a request on the "job board" and wanted to find models for photos, but I'm more than satisfied with today's results, and it's getting late...
