This answer also made Leon understand why he hadn’t seen Lewis when he arrived—turns out Lewis had gone to the farm with that girl named Sophia.
The scene oddly reminded Leon of his own first day in Stardew Valley. Back then, Lewis had acted as his guide, showing him around, while Robin was busy renovating the farmhouse.
The difference was that, unlike him, Sophia was a native of Stardew Valley. She probably felt far more at ease than he had.
“It’s just a few of us for lunch. Need me to help in the kitchen?” Leon glanced at his watch. It was only ten-thirty, still a while before lunch, so he made the offer to Gus.
“Just you, me, Sophia, Robin, and Lewis. No need to help—I’ve got most of it ready,” Gus explained.
“Originally, Lewis and I wanted to throw Sophia a big welcome party, but she refused. So this gathering will just be the five of us.”
“I can understand inviting Lewis and Robin. But why me? You didn’t just decide that on your own, did you?” Leon asked, puzzled.
From Gus’s description, Sophia didn’t sound like someone who enjoyed lively social events. Lewis was the mayor, Robin was fixing up her old vineyard—those made sense. But him? A complete stranger to her? Inviting him to a small, private gathering felt a bit abrupt.
“That wasn’t our idea. Even Lewis respects Sophia’s wishes. She specifically asked to meet you—the other farmer in Stardew Valley,” Gus quickly clarified.
