True love is letting your guard down. Let yourself relax, you will see what I mean.

You feel renewed, don't you? Personally, I love petting the turtles.

Did you discover your favorite relaxation technique?

Notes

Speak with Bordol Dewgarden:

 (Quest) Teach me how to relax.

I am honored you would ask me that, <brother/sister>. But I cannot teach that to you.

You must learn what relaxing could mean for you...

Perhaps try Olivia's Pond! The party scene is a bit calmer there.

May luck find you there, <brother/sister>.

Head to Olivia's Pond, east of the Stormwind Embassy, where several characters which have dialogue:

Marina Hollyden says: Ah, now this is the life. Nothing's more gratifyin' than taking a pole out to open waters.

Mitiis says: Hello there! Help yourself to a chair and enjoy one of my books. It's a wonderful day for reading by the pond!

Mairinn Boulderbreaker says: Aye, you can pet 'em if ye like! I brought these ones from the shelter. Donna worry, they won't bite ye!

Many things can be interacted with, such as petting pets such as Cats, Dogs, Playful Fawn, and Pettable Critters. Reading Chairs, Fishing Boats, Steamy Romance Novels, and Historic Lore Books to fill up the Relax bar, or simply stand in the area, which gives you the Reading buff. There are also drinks nearby -  [Cup of Kafa], Glass of Wine, and  [Lemon Silverleaf Tea]. Curious Swirling Pools can be fished in. Staying in the fishing area gives the Gone Fishing buff that fills up the objective bar.

Love is a gift, yes. But it is also a gift that you can give yourself.
