Delicate Bow

Delicate Bow
Type	Hat
Location	Abandoned House
Achievement	Cook
Price	1000g

The Delicate Bow is the Hat Mouse's reward for learning to cook, and it is one of the first hats most farms ever see. Cooking ten different dishes earns the Cook achievement, and the mouse in the Abandoned House puts the bow on its shelf the moment the achievement lands. Since the kitchen itself has to be built before a single recipe can be made, the bow quietly marks the point where a farmhouse becomes a home. Emily's makeover booth at the Desert Festival hands out the same bow at random, so a farmer who skipped the mouse can still stumble into one.

Location

---

Cooking starts with a kitchen, and the first farmhouse extension from Robin adds one for gold and a large pile of wood. From there, recipes arrive through the post from villagers as friendship grows, from the Queen Of Sauce on television, and from shop shelves at the Saloon and further afield. Ten different dishes, cooked once each, is a gentle target: spring forage and eggs cover several of the earliest recipes without any farming at all.

The mouse keeps shop in the ruined building at the southern edge of Cindersap Forest, down past the sewer grate. It opens after a farm earns its first achievement, and a letter arrives the following morning to announce it. Each new achievement adds another hat to the counter, and the bow is one of the cheaper items there, which makes it an easy first purchase while gold is still tight.

The Desert Festival route is pure chance. Emily's changing box gives one complete outfit a day across the three festival days, and the bow is one hat in a long list of possible results.

Effect

---

Small pink jewels are set into the knot, and they catch the light when the bow is examined closely. It is a modest piece next to the valley's floppy bows and masks, sitting neatly on the hair rather than covering it. Pale shirts and skirts suit it best, and it fits a character dressed for a festival rather than for the mines.

Notes

---

Earning the Cook achievement also opens the path to the two larger cooking goals, and each of those puts another hat on the mouse's shelf, so a cook ends up with a small collection rather than a single bow.

It can be lifted onto a cat or dog, where the jewels look even sillier than they do on a farmer.
