I'm at the point after where the party got back together after defeating the trickster. I tried to get Eve the cow but the way to that area in Izuka is blocked by a guy who says "Nobody is allowed to go this way. Not even you!" Then I went to Exelion
and spoke to the pile of hay
to get Melvut the fox but Melvut just chatted a little and then said goodbye, now he won't talk to me. Can someone advise?
