Psyche - " You won't find anything to eat and to drink in this marshy land . "

Jacob - " Yes I too agree with you on this . This place is both barren and dangerous ."

Psyche - " Yes he will also be pleased to meet you , Jacob . "

Jacob - " I wanted to ask you one thing , Psyche . "

Psyche - " Yes go on , Jacob . "
