Flirt

Jel
The sight of you brings peace to my tormented thoughts, (Player).
(Player)
Should I think of things to distract you?

Jel
Your mere presence is a distraction, (Player).

Jel
Every day without you is a distraction worse than you could concoct, my muse, for it was your absence that tormented me.

Jel
(Player)! I was just thinking about you.
(Player)
Good thoughts, I hope?

Jel
Ahem. Good doesn't begin to describe it.

Jel
Every thought of you brings me unspeakable joy, my muse. Words fail me in your presence.

Jel
I saw this fabric yesterday and couldn't help but think of you, my muse.
The subtle luster of the weave, the vibrant colors...
Take it, but you must not tell me what you do with it! My heart can't bear knowing.
+ 3 Fabric

Jel
You're wearing quite an interesting outfit today. What material is it made of?

(Player)
Partner material.

Jel
Really? I could have sworn it was-
Oh! (Player)! How forward.

Jel
Ah, that must be it! It looks wonderful on you, dear (Player).

(Player)
Something soft. You wanna feel?

Jel
Oh, I dare not! As much as I love looking, I’m afraid it’s still too soon to touch.

Jel
Well...maybe briefly. Why yes... that fabric is quite soft...

Jel
My day was dull until you came around, (Player).

(Player)
Should we spice it up?

Jel
Oh, my! Well, ahem, I can think of a few things.

Jel
I am never wanting for variety with you, (Player). With every day comes a new delight.

(Player)
Hopefully my presence helps.
Jel
I am never wanting for variety with you, (Player). With every day comes a new delight.

Jel
Oh good. You're here. I'm trying to figure out what to put up front.
Tell me, what is the most captivating thing in this room?
(Player)
Your smile.
Jel
Well...I'd be lying if I said that wasn't the perfect response.
However, I can't exactly put that on display, can I?
I'd rather that particular item be reserved for one special customer.

Jel
You have a most peculiar look in your eyes today, (Player).

(Player)
Just thinking about you.

Jel
Well! I- I wasn't expecting that. You mean it, truly?
I must admit I find myself doing much the same...
Thinking of you, I mean. Not myself!

Jel
Well! I- I wasn't expecting that. You mean it, truly?
I get that look whenever I gaze upon you, dearest muse.

(Player)
The sparkle in yours distracted me.

Jel
Well! I- I wasn't expecting that. You mean it, truly?

Jel
I get that look whenever I gaze upon you, dearest muse.

Jel
I was up all night, tormented with artist's block.
(Player)
Next time I'll keep you company.

Jel
O-oh. That would be... delightfully scandalous, wouldn't it?

Jel
I nearly sought you out in my torpor. When it happens again, I won't resist my instincts.

Jel
I must admit, I am getting used to these visits.

(Player)
Should I stop?
Jel
If you stop I am afraid the pining might waste me away, (Player).

(Player)
Good, because I don't plan on stopping.
Jel
That sets my heart at ease. If you did stop, I'm not sure I would last the night.

Jel
Yes, my muse?
(Player)
I just wanted to see you.

Jel
I must admit, I find myself longing to be in your presence as well. Could this be...?

Jel
And I you. Without you near me, the days stretch on in endless misery, every minute that passes stretching on for what feels to me a thousand cycles.

Gifting Chocolate / Heartdrop Lily

When trying to start a romance with Jel:

Given Box of Chocolates or Heartdrop Lily

Jel
Don't you think it's a little soon in our relationship for you to be pursuing romance?
Not that I blame you. I am fascinating.

Jel
These... they're for me?
Oh, my muse. Long have I spent sleepless nights tormented over what I should do.
What sort of gift could possibly express my affection? A flower can wither, food go sour...
None of it felt right.
And here you are, cutting through my apprehension with such decisive action!
Yes, of course I will accept this gift. Never in my wildest dreams could I imagine denying you.

After a romance with Jel has already started:

Given Box of Chocolates

Jel
Thank you for these chocolates.
Their sweetness shall remind me of the sweet moments I spend with you.

Given Heartdrop Lily

Jel
Thank you for these flowers.
Let's hope our relationship will bloom as beautiful as these blossoms have.

Special Events

Maji Market 2023

• The atmosphere at this market feeds my creative spirit. I feel a design inspiration coming on already.

During the Day

Jel
Once evening approaches, I will be making my way over to the Maji Market.
If my timing is right, I should get there just as the sun is beginning to dip into the horizon, bathing the market with its warm glow... and painting a sight that'll inspire my next design.

Jel
When I first heard about the Maji Market, I was delighted at the opportunity tp showcase and sell my work... but alas, that was not meant to be.

(Player)
You weren't invited as a vendor?
Jel
I was not... but neither was Zeki, despite being such a well-established salesman.
To be clear, it likely wasn't that we were excluded. Perhaps we simply didn't fit the vision of the market, or there simply wasn't enough resources or space for us.
Regardless of the reason, I am enjoying the festivities to the fullest. It's not every day that I have an excuse to engorge myself on so many delightful desserts.

(Player)
Better luck next time.
Jel
Should there be another opportunity for me to shine, I would seize it in a heartbeat. Until that moment comes, I am content enjoying the market as a spectator -- which has been a meaningful experience in itself.

(Player)
Sorry that happened.
Jel
Information Needed

(Player)
You're still a great designer.
Jel
I appreciate your kind words. The market has been a wonderful chance for me to refresh my body and spirit.
All of the beautiful sights has inspired my creative genius... I fear the world is not ready for the designs I will be creating once the market is over.

Jel
When those fireworks went off, my heart just about burst from my chest!
Then a runaway chapaa crashed into me, nearly sending me toppling into the water!
Thankfully, Tish caught me before I could fall. Had she been a second later, I would have gone for a swim with the fish, possibly for eternity...

Jel
My, quite some time has passed since I last stepped foot in a market like this.
The last one I went to was a Maji Market in Bahari City with my mother and sisters.

(Player)
Bahari City has Maji Markets, too?

(Player)
I thought Maji Markets were a Kilima-only thing.
Jel
Oh, no no no...

Jel
Maji Markets happen all across Palia. They take place exclusively in the evenings, with cultural sights and activities unique to their respective regions.
They are not to be confused with the average flea market.

(Player)
You learn something new every day!
Jel
Indeed.
Bahari City's Maji Market is much grander in scale, as everything is there.

(Player)
What was Bahari City's Maji Market like?
Jel
Well, it was much grander in scale, as everything is in Bahari City.

Jel
The booths were flush with colorful clothes and authentic tapestries from all over the world, along with regional specialties to delight even the pickiest of taste palates.
Though Kilima's Maji Market pales in comparison, it is not without its own charms... One such being the Halo Halo from Delaila's Sweet Treats. I can’t seem to get enough of it!

Jel
I imagine you’ve seen Kenyatta's chapaa onesie by now. What do you think about it?

(Player)
It's right on theme!
Jel
Information Needed

(Player)
I think it's cute.
Jel
Information Needed

(Player)
The look suits her.
Jel
It does, doesn't it? When her father first approached me with the idea, I was hesitant. However, he convinced me it was a task only I could accomplish.
He was right. The onesie came out beautifully. I don’t regret accepting his proposal one bit!

(Player)
She looks absolutely ridiculous.
Jel
Yes, she does, and that is precisely what makes this onesie one of my best works yet.
You should have seen her face when I first presented her with it. It was absolutely priceless!

Luna New Year Maji Market

• I hope you are having a wonderful Luna New Year, (Player).

Jel
I am doing something different than usual tonight. I will be attending the Maji Market to celebrate the Luna New Year.
I hope to eat some delicious food and gain fresh new design inspirations while I am at it.

Jel
Of the plethora of holidays we celebrate here in Palia, Luna New Year is among my favorite.
As I stroll through the market, I am reminded of the Luna New Years of my childhood, which were spent with my dear mother Barinka and my siblings in Bahari City.
I imagine they are all indulging in extravagant festivities at the moment. I, however, prefer the comfortable intimacy a smaller celebration like Kilima's provides.

Jel
Kilima's first Maji Market was charming and quaint. This year's is much grander in scale and rightfully so for Luna New Year.
The wish tree is simply delightful, and so are all of the colorful lanterns. I feel a design inspiration coming on already.

Jel
I am not ashamed to admit it took me a long time to decide what I wanted to wish for this year.
I found myself at a crossroads, unable to choose between the many paths that lay ahead of me... But among those options, there was only one that truly called my name.
In the off-chance that wish were to come true this year, I would be beside myself with joy.

Jel
The Maji Market is usually charming and quaint... It seems that for the Luna New Year, it's much grander in scale.
The wish tree is simply delightful, and so are all of the colorful lanterns. I feel a design inspiration coming on already.
