Ryis is a skilled carpenter you’ll meet in Mistria. He’s a friendly and kind young man—and luckily, he’s single! To get to know him better, you should talk to him regularly and give him gifts to increase your heart levels.
He takes great pride in his work and shares a close bond with his uncle, Landen. You can usually find them both east of town, but Ryis often hangs out near the blacksmith’s workshop where there’s a crafting table.
Tip: Make sure to chat with Ryis on Friday nights at the inn!

Ryis’ Heart Events
As you develop your relationship with Ryis, you’ll unlock special heart events—unique cutscenes that advance his storyline and illustrate his growth as you both work to restore the town. New events will open every two hearts, and you’ll get a new quest via mail or the request board when an event is available.
Note: Currently, only two heart events are available!
Ryis’ Two-Heart Event
When you hit two hearts, it’s not Ryis who will ask for help. Instead, you’ll receive a letter from Landen asking you to deliver 15 pieces of wood. After gathering the materials, head over to Landen.
Tip: Use your map to find where Landen is!
Once you’ve delivered the wood, Landen will walk you back to his house. You’ll earn 150T for your efforts, and he’ll send you to fetch Ryis from the forest, as the young man’s break is almost over. You’ll find him in the ruins near a tree stump. Here are the dialogue choices available to you:
| Dialogue | Answer Choices |
|---|---|
| "This is a surprise." | "Message delivery!" "Your uncle told me where you were!" |
| "I suppose I should wrap up my break…" | "What a pretty spot." "What were these ruins of?" |
| "I should really get around to setting up a new birdhouse for them… though it feels a bit silly when I’ve got so much work to do around Mistria as it is!" | "It’s not silly, I think it’s cool!" "It’s a good idea! Those birds could use your help too." |
While your choices don’t significantly impact the outcome, it’s good to support and encourage Ryis, especially since he loves birds.
Ryis’ Four-Heart Event
After reaching four hearts, Ryis will send you a letter asking for help in choosing a sapling. Meet him in his room at his uncle’s house to start the event.
Upon arriving, you’ll notice his room is packed with unfinished projects, hardly leaving space for you. Here are the dialogue options for this event:
| Dialogue | Answer Choices |
|---|---|
| "Welcome to my room. Sorry it’s a bit cramped, I tend to bring my work upstairs with me." | "It’s cozy! Very you." "If you think this is bad, you should see my farm." |
| "So what if we grew a hawthorn to put their new birdhouse in?" | "That’ll bring them back for sure!" "Thorns to protect your house, huh. Maybe I should get some…" |
| "Anything I can do to help hurry it along?" | "Check on it every day!" "Give the tree compliments every day!" |
After this event, the tree stump in the ruins to the east will be replaced with a new sapling! While your encouragement doesn’t affect the outcome, you can choose to be supportive or humorous to enhance your relationship.
Ryis’ Six-Heart Event
Once you reach six hearts with Ryis, you’ll find a letter inviting you to visit his home. The tree has matured enough to hold a birdhouse, and he needs your assistance to build it.
Here are your dialogue choices for this event:
| Dialogue | Answer Choices |
|---|---|
| "I like working on the big town projects with you, but there’s something nice about collaborating on something small, right?" | "It’ll be fun to get the details just so!" "Yeah, it’s more intimate." |
| "We might have gotten a little carried away." | "It was really fun to build!" "It’s better than a birdhouse. It’s a bird… home." |
| "Those bluebirds are going to be SO surprised." | "So what’s next?" "So now we need to make a bluebird whistle, huh?" |
It’s a great opportunity to get closer to Ryis here and even flirt a little. Mentioning that the birdhouse feels more personal than larger projects is a good way to fluster him, but the end result will remain unchanged.
Tip: You’ll also receive a delicious slice of Coconut Cream Pie, thanks to Landen!
