Delaila: Dialogue: Gifting

After First Gift

At the Player's Housing Plot

Delaila
Oh, dearie, I can't believe it took me this long to come to your home, but here I am! And I come bearing gifts.
Some new wallpaper to be precise!
It's my favorite, rosy, shade of Garnet. Just the kind of color to get you feelin' like yer ready to take on the day!
Perfect for a go getter like you.

+ Rosy Garnet Stucco Wall

Starstone

Given Garnet

Delaila
Oh, dearie, ya shouldn't have!
This garnet's just lovely. I'll be sure t'keep it in me pocket for good luck.
Anythin' from you's sure to bring it!

Requests

Requesting Any Crab

Delaila
Me whole family likes when I make m'crab dip, but it's so hard to get ahold of the little buggers these days.
If you catch any (crab), I'd be mighty grateful.

Requesting Any Catfish

Delaila
My boy Nai'o can't get enough of fried catfish. If I made it every night, it still wouldn't be enough. Least he always eats his vegetables too.

Requesting Blushing Batterfly, Sunburst Batterfly

Delaila
Lots of the bugs Auni catches, I don't understand the appeal.
But those (Blushing Batterflys / Sunburst Batterflys)[sic] are right pretty, it's true.

Requesting Clay

Delaila
All the pots I've been usin' to store grain over the winter are startin' to crack.
I'm afraid if I don't get some proper Ceramic to patch 'em, our winter stores'll become chapaa food in no time.

Requesting Fish from Ponds

Delaila
I know it's silly, but I dream of one day not only winnin' the blue ribbon for me preserves at the Harvest Festival...
...but also takin' home the prize for the best goldfish.
Perhaps a (pond fish) would do the trick?

Requesting Garden Ladybug

Delaila
I wanted ta get me hands on some ladybugs for the garden.
If you catch any, let me know, will ya?

Requesting Golden Glory Bee

Delaila
Heard there's a bee out there that makes honey for royals t'eat.
If we could start producin' some of that, it might help tide over the farm until next harvest.

Requesting Muujin Meat

Delaila
Wanted t'make some stew tonight, but I'm out of muujin meat.
If you get any extra while out huntin', I'd be mighty grateful.

Requesting Rockhopper Pumpkin

Delaila
Me whole family likes when I make m'pumpkin soup, but we haven't had nearly enough in the fields lately.
If you've got any spare pumpkins, I'd be mighty grateful.

Requesting QualityUp Fertilizer

Delaila
Petunia hasn't been producing eggs like she used to.
Between you and me, I think she and Feathers are in a fight....
Anyway, I could certainly use a few if you have one or two ta spare.

Requests For Other Villagers

• For Auni:

Requesting Any Fruit

Delaila
Try as I might I can't get Auni to eat his vegetables.
Fruit on the other hand, he can't get enough of.
If you happen to have any (fruit), maybe you could bring some to him on his mail route?

• For Badruu:

Requesting Onion

Delaila
Badruu told me he's been havin' onion soup lately.
Unfortunately, I had to sell all me onions to make ends meet.

Requesting Orange Bluegill, Rainbow Trout

Delaila
Badruu told me he's been havin' a hankerin' for some (orange bluegill / rainbow trout) lately.
Unfortunately, I don't know where ta find it.

Requesting Wheat

Delaila
Badruu told me he's been havin' a hankerin' for pie lately.
Unfortunately, I had to sell all me wheat to make ends meet.
So I ain't got nothin' left ta make the crust.

• For Nai'o:

Requesting Fish Stew

Delaila
My boy Nai'o said he's been cravin' fish stew lately.
I already made him some, but he just can't get enough.

Rejection

I know it's the thought that counts when it comes ta givin' gifts.
But next time, ya should perhaps think a little harder before givin' a gift like that.

Duplicate Weekly Gift

Delaila
I hate ta look a gifted riffroc in the mouth, but you've already givin' me so mucha this.
I couldn't accept another.
