Quests
"Blackberry Basket": Linus will send you a letter on the 8th of Fall saying he lost his blackberry basket. The reward for returning it to him is 1 Friendship heart.
Occasionally If you speak to Linus, he will mention he has ventured down deep into the mines. He is also one of the people that, should you lose your health, will come and retrieve you and take you back home.
You can toggle the Campfire in front of Linus' tent. This seems to have no effect on the game whatsoever (no special dialogues, no effect on friendship, etc.) Linus will never re-light the fire if you put it out, so you can put it out or rekindle it whenever you like.
