Timmy keeps working hard on his new mission, even if the weight of all these consecutive tasks starts to weigh on him.
"Level up cooking and gourmet cooking, you'll need them later." And "keep reading that spooky book, it contains all that you need."
What is all that talking about Ambrosia even about? Timmy keeps wondering. We all know by now that he's a big expert on occult stuff, but this sounds like too much even to him: how could a simple dish made of normal (yet very rare) ingredients really bring someone back from death? That sounded absurd, even to an expert of ghosts and spirits haunting houses as him.
And why did he had to spend so much time and effort in finding such an incredibly rare flower everyone doubted it even existed, the death flower, just to prepare a dish that was probably just inspired by a silly legend? Aliens, ghosts, and weird conspiracies constitute Timmy's core beliefs, but this seemed too much even for him.
C'mon, Timmy, it's not your role to be the critical thinker in the group: you just have to complete the tasks you were given! And your task today is to get a death flower, enough excuses!
"But... I'll need to keep grafting plants over plants for weeks to have a chance to get one!"
What's the problem, Timmy, did you already forget about your wise friend's suggestion, the one from Father Winter? You can cheat, and buy one in Casters Alley, right?
" ... but it will be incredibly expensive! I don't have money left in my bank account, I used it to build that greenhouse!"
Then I'm afraid you'll need to return back to your old gigs, cleaning haunted houses from the spirits!
Uhm, now I think I remember why you weren't looking for new gigs anymore... Somehow he got paid, though.
Anyway, you see, Timmy? In the end, we managed to obtain a death flower!
"We? But I did all the job!"
Details...
By the way, why are you burying it?
"I hope it will grow a plant and multiply. Like other plants do, you know."
You sound unbelievably smart today, Timmy. And also a bit sarcastic, aren't you happy to be given the honour of fulfilling this fundamental quest in the name of your neighbours? And then, don't you think that the Reaper deserves some recognition too? They don't have a single friend, and this is the first time they express their (cryptic) desires to mortals, I think you could show some more generosity, Timmy!
"Bah..."
What's that face, Timmy? The Reaper just gave you a fantastic painting to decorate your old trailer, don't you like it?
"I'm not so sure, there is something weird about it..."
No more chatter, Timmy! It's Harvestfest, why don't you invite the Reaper and tell them the reasons why you're grateful to them?
"What? At most, it's them who should be grateful to m-"
Go, Timmy, you have a lot to cook today!
"It has been a quite, ehm, tough week, but I'm glad to be able to spend some time together. Or so I was told to say."
"It's my pleasure to spend my free time with such a handsome mortal as you are, Timmy."
At that point, I clearly noticed a cold shiver going down Timmy's spine, as an upsetting realisation was hitting him. Up to that point, he had always suspected that the Reaper had elaborated that very intricate plan just to find some new friends, but what if what they were really looking for was...a romantic partner?
