Hodari: Dialogue: Gifting

After First Gift

At the Player's Housing Plot

Hodari
So...uh...you've been rather generous, (Player), and I'm doin' good, too. So I thought I'd pay ya back with a little home improvement project I'm workin' on.
Garnet happens to be my Starstone, and while I don't normally fall for that astrology hooey, I do find garnet red to be an inspiring color.
Really makes me feel like I can take on the world. So I made a wallpaper, and, I, uh, thought you might like it too.

+ 1 Peachy Garnet Stucco Wall

Starstone

Given Garnet

Hodari
This Garnet's for me?
I usually can't justify keepin' these instead of sellin' when I mine 'em up, but...
This one's stayin' with me. Thanks, (Player).

Requests

Requesting Bahari Glowbug, Paper Lantern Bug

Hodari
It can get pretty dark in the mines, so what I like to do is take some (glowbugs / lantern bugs) an' put 'em in a jar.
Cheap, easy lighting.

Requesting Blue Marlin

Hodari
I would appreciate it if you could rustle me up some grub...
I've been so hungry lately that I've been seeing steaks instead of Ormuus when I pass by Delaila's barn.
I'm not usually a big fan of the taste of Fish.
But for one of them Blue Marlin, I’d make an exception.

Requesting Copper Bar, Iron Bar, Iron Ore, Whitestone

If you get some extra (copper / iron / Whitestone), would ya mind sendin' it my way?
I could use some for the supports I'm workin' on in the mine.

Every time I see a Flame-Horned Rockhopper, it reminds me of Najuma.

It's got Sernuk. It's got noodles! What's not to like?

Nothin' better than a steak dinner after a long day of work. You happen to have an extra one lyin' around. I won't say no.

Requesting Stone Brick

Hodari
You got any spare stone bricks?
Never seem to have enough of them.
Mine supports, wall repairs, potholes... the list goes on.

Requesting Stonefish

Hodari
While I don't care for eatin' Fish...
...I did hear about this one fish called a Stonefish who camouflages himself to look like a rock.
Wouldn't mind havin' one of those around.

Requests For Other Villagers

• For Najuma:

Requesting Apple Jam

Hodari
Najuma and her mother used to make apple jam together when she was little.
I still remember how messy the kitchen would get every time...
We don't make much jam anymore. But Najuma still likes it.

Requesting Blueberry Pie

Hodari
Najuma used to always love berry pie.
I think she still likes it...
I always see an extra slice or two missin' when I'm not lookin'.

Requesting Sweet Leaf

Hodari
I used to make Najuma a cup of sweet leaf tea before bed every night.
Then she starting[sic] saying she could make her own tea.
I still see our stock of sweet leaves goin' down though.
