Badruu
Do you know why the carrot was so great at martial arts?
It's because he practiced carrot-aye. Hi-ya!

Badruu
My produce is getting so popular with the Humans, Zeki’s started to order more.
I think now is the time to act if I want to lock in a new price... I gotta turn that lettuce into cold, hard cabbage.

Badruu
You’re getting good at Gardening.
I was wondering if you’d picked up any new tilling techniques, because I am all tilled out...

Badruu
I just restocked the shop with a fresh harvest of carrots.
I have it on good authority from the local chapaa in this region that my carrots are pretty tasty.

Badruu
Man, my back is aching today. But I still gotta work. The Crops aren't gonna water themselves.
Unless I can train a Tomato to hold a watering can...or I invest in a sprinkler system.

Badruu
Why were the baby sweetberries crying?
Cause their ma and pa were in a jam!

Badruu
Do you know why it's so hard to harvest a spring onion?
Because they keep bouncing away. Boing boing boing!

Badruu
Potatoes are the worst crop to harvest. They're so low to the ground, they really throw out my back.

Badruu
I’ve got a joke for you. Why did the musical farmer only grow Corn?
'Cause he liked to play by ear!

Badruu
Why are tomatoes the proudest veggie on the farm?
Because they are simply de-vine.

Badruu
It’s been a great harvest year… if you happen to be a cactus farmer.
I don’t remember the last time I saw rain.

Badruu
Why do Ormuu ranchers always have the best legs?
Because they’re used to raising their calves!

Badruu
I always like to have a few fried potatoes before, during, and after a hard day’s work.
Why? Because they are SPUDtacular.

Badruu
I’d say it’s time for me to get an award for all this farming.
Why? You ask.
Because I’m out standing in my field.

Badruu
I always have a headache after I harvest Wheat all day.
I call them "my grain" headaches.

Badruu
I told a joke earlier that actually made Hodari laugh. Want to hear it? Why did the bard perform on a ladder?
...He wanted to hit the high notes.
I don’t know if Hodari was laughing with me or at me, but either way, I appreciate the chuckle.

Badruu
You know I first got this ocarina when I was a kid.
I actually thought I was good enough at one point to join a troupe of traveling bards if you could believe it!
Good thing I got rejected though, or I never would have had my life here.

Badruu
If you spend enough time at the Inn, you'll no doubt encounter Tarkaa, the traveling bard.
They're pretty popular around these parts...a bit overrated in my opinion. Their songs aren't nearly funny enough.

Badruu
In the afternoon, I make a quick stop in town to make my deliveries.
But it doesn’t hurt to stop by the Inn and have a pint while I’m out.

Badruu
Auni picked up a joke book for me in the Library the other day.
When I went to return it, Caleri mentioned that Delaila has had "The Passions of Jabari" checked out for three weeks.
I never knew she liked reading romance.
I’ll have to check it out after she returns it... maybe it could give me a few pointers.

Badruu
Hey, your home is looking mighty swanky.
If you need decorating tips, ask Delaila.
She really knows how to make a house feel like a home.

Badruu
Auni thinks me and Delaila are tougher on him ‘cause we like Nai'o better.
I wish I could help him see that isn’t true.
We’re only tougher on him because we can see he needs some extra guidance.
But it seems like the harder we push, the faster he runs away.

Badruu
You look sad. Maybe a little joke will help cheer you up. Why didn't the farmer trust the tree?
'Cause it was looking a little shady.

Badruu
I can't thank you enough for how much you've done for my family and our farm.
You're welcome over for supper anytime.

Badruu
Nai'o brought me some of those batterfly bean seeds.
I've BEAN meaning to plant them, but I just haven't gotten around to it.

Badruu asks The Player Questions

Badruu
Nai'o and Auni told me I need to cool it on the dad jokes.
What do you think? Do I take the veggie puns too far?

(Player)
It doesn’t matter what I think.
Badruu
You’re right. I shouldn’t worry so much about what others think about me. It only matters that I like them!
Hold on. I got one more for you. What did the stalk of Wheat say after a night on the town?
I’ll sleep when I’m bread! Ha ha! I love that one!

(Player)
Maybe a little.
Badruu
Okay then, I’ll make like a loaf of bread fresh out of the oven and cool it.
What? I had to get a last one in didn’t I?

Badruu
I've been practicing with my old ocarina... and I was wondering...
Do you think Auni might like to play? It would be a fun father and son thing we could do together.

(Player)
He'd love that!
Badruu
You really think so? I'm gonna make him an ocarina out of clay for his next birthday.

(Player)
You shouldn't push him.
Badruu
Eh, you’re right. Auni's his own kid with his own interests. I shouldn't try to force my hobbies on him.
I'll talk to Nai'o instead.

Badruu
It’s hard to be mad at life when the sky looks like this. Don’t you think?
Look at that cloud. What do you think it looks like?

(Player)
An adorable Ormuu
Badruu
An ormuu, huh? Yeah, I can see it.
It looks a bit like an ormuu who needs to lay off the feed.

(Player)
A Head of Lettuce
Badruu
A head of lettuce...I see it.
I was gonna say a big circle, but I guess you’re more of the creative type.
Or maybe you’re just hungry...

(Player)
Uh...a cloud.
Badruu
Well, you're straight to the point. At least you didn't tell me to stop wasting time staring at the sky like Eshe.

(Player)
The feeling of tranquility.
Badruu
Tranquility, huh? That's maybe a little esoteric for me. But, eh, to each their own.

Badruu
It’s been too long since we’ve had a good bard around here.

(Player)
What about Tarkaa? I hear they’re good.
Badruu
Tarkaa? I said a good bard. Not an overrated hack.

(Player)
You should perform!
Badruu
(TBA)

(Player)
I prefer it quiet.
Badruu
(TBA)

Badruu
I've been wondering what I should do about Auni wanting to join The Order.
Should I encourage his dreams even though I know they aren't likely to come true?
Or should I point him towards a new Path?

(Player)
Encourage him.
Badruu
You're right. Auni's gonna try to join the Order no matter what I do.
It will only hurt twice as bad if he fails knowing no one believed in him.

(Player)
Be realistic.
Badruu
You're right. I don't want him to get his hopes up.
I'm sure we can work together to find another life he's suited for.
Even if it isn't farming.

(Player)
Listen to him.
Badruu
You're right.
It's not about whether or not Auni joins the Order, but about whether or not I'm there for him as a dad.

Badruu
I'm trying to decide who to bet on for tonight's arm wrestling championship.
It's between Ashura and Sifuu. Who do you think will win?

(Player)
Ashura. He's got heart.
Badruu
Information needed.

(Player)
Sifuu. She's stronger.
Badruu
Information needed.

(Player)
I'm staying out of it.
Badruu
Oh! You're no fun! You sound like Delaila. She's always telling me to go easy on the games.

Follow up conversation

Badruu
So... unfortunately, Ashura was not declared the victor of the arm wrestling match the other day.
Sifuu beat him out at the last minute. I’m gonna nurse my wounds with another ale.

Specific Time

In the Morning

Badruu
(yawn) I never quite got used to getting up with the rooster.
Everytime I hear it I shout "5 more minutes" at the peki shed.

At Night

Badruu
I'm not usually one to turn down guests regardless of the hour, but Delaila gets cranky if she doesn't get her sleep.
Maybe you should come back another time.

Badruu
I'm not really tired, but I gotta be up when the peki crows.

Badruu
If you're looking for Nai'o, he's not here.
He runs off to see Kenyatta at night.
I act like I don't know...there's no reason to spoil the boy's fun.
I mean I remember when Delaila and I were that age. Why we used to --
You know, never mind, that story is a little too spicy to share.

Specific Location

In the Daiya Family's House in the evening

Badruu
Join us for dinner if you want.
We're having carrot soup to start, followed by seared carrots in a carrot compote, with carrot cake for dessert.
We...may have had a carrot surplus this week.

Badruu
After how you helped me out, I owe you a lot, but unfortunately all I can offer you right now is dinner. Pull up a chair, we're having baked potatoes and potato soup!

Badruu
We like to come together for a family meal at night.
Even Auni takes the time to slow down, and trust me. That takes some doing!

Badruu
Don't mind me if I'm tearing up. I'm just preparing the onion soup for dinner.

Friendship level 3, while at the Tavern

Badruu
I feel so good after my private concert with Delaila, I might have to think about doing a show here.

(Player)
Why don't you?
Badruu
Because...the song I wrote for Delaila is personal. I don't want that to go public.
I'll have to think of a new set before I start serenading this whole crowd.

(Player)
I can help you arrange it!
Badruu
Whoa...slow your carriage, there. I said I might have to THINK about it.
Thinking about something and actually doing it are two entirely separate things.

Badruu
You know, sometimes being around this place is hard for me.
It reminds me of when I used to play in joints like this.
Don’t get me wrong... I love my life now. But I also miss my life then.
Sometimes I wish I could have both. That life could be more of a circle than a straight line, ya know?

In Delaila and Badruu's Room at night

Badruu
It's ironic, but I find the time I'm supposed to rest is when my mind wanders the most.
Hard work is the only thing that truly relaxes. Well, that and sharing a few a laughs with friends.

In Badruu's Barn at at night

Badruu
If you're coming to listen to another song, you're out of luck.
Bessie started mooing along with the chorus and I don't want to wake the boys.

Badruu
You came to see my show! Pull up a hay bale and have a listen.
"Those old songs makes me cry like onions in the eye."
"If you wanna know why I'm look towards the sky, it's because I'm wonderin' what became of that guy...that guy who used to think he could fly."

Friendship Level 3-4

Friendship Level 3 or Higher

Badruu
(Player)! You’ll never believe what I just heard!

(Player)
Two ormuus having an... intimate moment?
Badruu
Better!

(Player)
What?

Badruu
I went by City Hall to drop off some paperwork and Kenyatta was humming my music.
It was a song I used to perform in Bahari City back in the day.
I thought everyone forgot it, but apparently some new bard brought it back "ironically."
Anyway, it feels good to be remembered. Regardless of the reason.

Badruu
You know, I don’t really like my Path as a farmer.
The act of growing and raising food doesn’t really bring me joy the way it does for Delaila or Nai'o.
But it puts three meals a day on the table, and makes my family happy.
So I suppose things could have been worse.
I keep trying to convince myself that things will work out for Auni, even if he doesn’t like what he ends up doing, just like they worked out for me.
Only thing is... I don’t really want that. I want things to be better for him.

Badruu
Thanks for supporting my musical endeavors.
Delaila’s always had complicated feelings about my musical aspirations.
I originally turned down her proposal 'cause I thought I was gonna run off with a traveling band, and I think she’s still a little sore over it.

Badruu
I've got a new composition I'm working on for the ormuus. It's called Moooonlit Sonata.

Badruu
I wrote a new song the other day, and I want to try it out on you before anyone else.
Okay... ready, let’s go!
"I've got a girl who makes me smile. She makes me want to stay for awhile. Her hair is long and her horns are big...
...She's a much better friend than a wild pig. Her name is... FLUFFFFY!
...She's the cutest Ormuu in the world. FLUFFFFY!
She's my chonky, hairy, little girl." ...
(sigh) I think I’ve been spending too much time in the barn.

Badruu
Do you reckon me and Delaila have lost our spark?

(Player)
Of course not!
Badruu
I know I'm probably just being silly. We're both busy people.
But sometimes it doesn't feel like she look at me the way she used to when we were younger.
Wonder if there's anything I can do to change that?

(Player)
...she does bring up planks when I talk about you.
Badruu
Bored...board...plank...I get it. Now you’re starting to learn from the master.
You didn’t answer my question... but I will forgive you.
I’ve just been worried 'cause she doesn’t look at me the same way she did when we were younger.
But... it’s on me to fix that.

Badruu
So I’ve been thinking about ways for Delaila and I to spice up our marriage.
First, I thought paprika might due[sic] the trick and then I realized she’s allergic.
But then I thought maybe we could have a romantic weekend away just the two of us.
Where do you think I should go?

(Player)
The beach.
Badruu
Maybe I could set up a tent in Bahari Bay? We haven't been camping since we were Nai'o's age.
What a great idea! She'll love going to sleep to the sound of the waves.

(Player)
The mountains.
Badruu
Hmm.. I did hear about this new ski chalet in the Umbraa Mountains.
We haven’t been skiing since we were Nai'o’s age. That would be just the thing to make us feel young again!
Unless one of us breaks a hip.

(Player)
A big city!
Badruu
Oh, you know, I hear there's a music festival in Bahari.
Maybe I could get Nai'o to watch Auni and we could go for a weekend.

Badruu
It's much easier to spend all day tilling the field when I know at night I can play for my family. Not just the ormuus.
Though I have to admit, I always milked those Ormuu performances a little...

Badruu
Do you think I should do anything different with my hair for my big date night with Delaila?
(Player)
No, you look perfect.
Badruu
You’re right. She fell in love with this mug, exactly like it is.

Higher Friendship With Other Villagers

Delaila friendship level 3

Badruu
Thanks for helping out Delaila with her jams for the county fair.
Now I know who to count on when I'm in a jam-related jam.

Nai'o friendship level 4

Badruu
Delaila's always worried about how Auni is gonna turn out, but between you and me, I'm more worried about Nai'o.
That kid acts happy, but he takes on so much. If I so much as slump when I sit down at the dinner table, he starts insisting he takes care of my chores so I can rest my back.
He needs to learn that he's not responsible for other people's happiness.

She was over the mooon for my performance.

After Friendship Quest: Music to My Ears

Badruu
I can't tell you what it felt like to play for Delaila, and finally have her like it and appreciate it.
I think your help with the song is what did it. I feel prouder than a peki who laid a whole dozen eggs!

After Friendship Quest: Confidence Collapse

Badruu
Man, I can't stop thinking about that meal Delaila and I had for dinner the other night.
The food was so good, I was surprised I made it!
Between you and me, I'm surprised when I do anything right. Maybe that's why I need a confidence charm.

After Main Quest: The Acceptance Ceremony

Badruu
Your acceptance ceremony was the most beautiful one I've ever seen.
I was crying so hard you would think I was making onion soup with a side of onion rings.
