Romance

Voice Acting Lines

Entering Conversation

Romance Level 1-2

What brings you over to my neck of the ruins?, Didn't mean to stare. I-it's part of my process., I like when you're around. [giggling] Oh, I said it., Y-y-you give me butterflies., I always look forward to your visits., I've found some human poetry you might like! For-for research., When I find something cool, I-I just want to show you., You've taught me so much., Tell me more about yourself.

Romance Level 3-4

I was just about to come see you!, Oh! My heart's beating faster than a new discovery., You radiate the shortest wavelengths I've ever seen., Hekla says you distract me., You're back!, You must be a star because I.. mutters no-no-no, that's dumb., You're out of this world! Well, not literally.... unless?, You're the best research partner.

Exiting conversation

Romance Level 1-2

Oh, y-you're leaving?, Oh, um, that- that's fine. I was busy anyway., Don't be away too long? Un-unless you wanna be., You always know just what to say., Gonna miss you! Oh... was that weird?, I'll be thinking about you... even as I translate these ruins., Elevated heart rate? That's a new symptom., Oh, Hekla keeps staring at us., [giggling] You're the best part of my day., See you again soon! Th-that is, i-if you want.

Romance Level 3-4

We'll see each other again soon?, I'll have something exciting for you next time!, Strange... usually I look forward to reading time., I love spending time with you., I still can't believe you actually like me., (sigh) I feel so much better after that talk.

Flirt

Jina
Oh! It's my favorite research partner.
(Player)
Does that make me an archaeologist too?
Jina
You've helped me countless times. Of course you are!

(Player)
I'm glad I could help.

Jina
Trust me, (Player), you're WAY more than just help!

Jina
I think without you I might have given up and gone to live in a cave somewhere.
Er, not that I don't spend most of my time IN dank underground spaces, but- oh, you know what I mean!

(Player)
Great, because I am DIGGING you!

Jina
Oh! Well, I-I'm digging you too! Digging, that means you like me, right? That's what digging means?
I hope that's what digging means.

Jina
Oh, well I swear I won't take our partnership for GRANITE!
Get it, granite like granted? Oh, I'm no good at wordplay.

Jina
(Player)! Is it just me, or did the sun just get hotter?

(Player)
Is that possible?

Jina
You know, I'm not sure. I'll have to write to the academy. Maybe Chayne would know? He's got a better idea of astronomy than me.

Jina
Maybe, but, uhm, I was actually trying to flirt with you. I was calling you hot, if that wasn't... you know, clear.

(Player)
Are you sure it's the sun?

Jina
Well, we also get heat from geothermal vents, but I haven't noticed any volcanic activity...
Wait. Were you flirting with me? That was flirting, right?

Jina
Well, I was until you showed up. Now I'm thinking I've found the culprit.
...I was calling you hot. If, uhm, that wasn't clear.

Jina
I have to admit that I look forward to work more now that I have a research partner like you around.
(Player)
Just a research partner?

Jina
Oh! Well, I mean... Did you... want to be more? I didn't want to assume...

Jina
You know you mean more than that to me...
Oh no, you DO know that, right?

Jina
Oh! (Player)! There you are. I was just thinking about you...
Can I say that?

(Player)
Only if I can say it too.

Jina
Well, I mean, I wouldn't presume to tell you what you can and can't say!

Jina
You're right. We can both say what we would like! For example, I think... you're... CUTE!
Whew, okay. I did it!

(Player)
You can say whatever you want.

Jina
Ahaha! If I did that, I might actually shrivel up and die from embarrassment.

Jina
You're right. I was thinking about you! In fact, I think about you, like, all the time.
Constantly. But, uhm, not a weird amount of times. A totally normal amount of times.

Jina
Uhm... yes?

(Player)
Just wanted to see you.

Jina
Oh, well, here I am!
...That was awkward, wasn't it? Sorry, I don't know what to do when someone actually wants me around.

Jina
I wanted to see you too...

(Player)
If you were an angle, you'd be ACUTE.

Jina
O-oh! I wasn't expecting that... heh.

Jina
Pffft- now you're just being obtuse!

Jina
As a scholar, I have to be hard on myself.
Not very many Palians, whether they are Majiri or Grimalkin, have the opportunity or responsibility of exploring these ruins.
If I don't add to our understanding with my research, I'm effectively taking away knowledge the world could have gotten from a more capable Scholar.

(Player)
And yours was the first face I saw.

Jina
...I never thought about it that way before. I hope I made a good first impression.

Jina
Maybe it was fate? Not that I believe in fate...
But if I did, us meeting would have to be it.

(Player)
That's when I fell for you.

Jina
Literally!
...That's what you meant, right?

Jina
Oh, you smooth talker!
Besides, I wasn't exactly at my best. I was covered in dirt, and I think I had some bugs in my hair-
I'm rambling, right? This is rambling. You got me all flustered!

Jina
It's nice to get a little alone time. Just you, me...
And Hekla staring at us again. No, don't look, let's just pretend we didn't notice.

Jina
I forgot to sleep last night. Hekla gave me SUCH a talking to!
(Player)
Should I sleep over to remind you?

Jina
Uhm... I mean, I don't think I'd get much sleep that way, either.
Just because I wouldn't be able to relax, not that you make me tense, but-
Just- I'm going to stop talking now.

Jina
Oh! Well, if you find yourself out this way, I wouldn't mind the company. Especially if it's yours.

Jina
Oh, you're back! That's good, I was getting a little worried.
(Player)
Of course I am.

Jina
It's just sometimes I worry that when you leave you'll realize that actually you hate me.
So when you come back, I can relax, because that means you don't hate me, yet!

Jina
I just worry about something happening to you, sometimes, and I won't be there to help.
But I know you can handle yourself. So I'll just settle with being happy every time you come back safe!

Jina
What! (Player), I didn't see you there! I wasn't daydreaming about you, I swear.

Jina
What! (Player), I didn't see you there! I wasn't daydreaming about you, I swear.
...Okay. I was. A little bit. But just a little.

Gifting Chocolate / Heartdrop Lily

When trying to start a romance with Jina:

Given Box of Chocolates or Heartdrop Lily:

Jina
Sorry... but I don't really have time for romance right now.
I need to focus on my thesis.
I hope you understand.

Jina
Oh my dragon! This is for me?
Really???

(Player)
Really!
Jina
(TBA)

(Player)
Really really!
Jina
REALLY really really? Sorry, of course I believe you, I just-

(Player)
Of course it is.
Jina
(TBA)

(Player)
Oops, sorry, it's for your evil twin.
Jina
(TBA)

Jina
I thought it was just me, who felt a spark.
Knowing you feel the same... well, of course I'll accept these!
Just hope you don't decide to change your mind and take them back!

After a romance with Jina has already started:

Given Box of Chocolates

Jina
Candies, for me?
I normally prefer mushrooms over chocolate.
But...since chocolates are often given as a gesture of affection...well, I appreciate them.
And I reciprocate the affection.
Assuming, of course, I didn't misunderstand your intentions.

Given Heartdrop Lily

Jina
Flowers, for me?
You know I never really understood why we kill plants as a sign of romantic affection.
But I'm very flattered by the gesture.

Special Events

Maji Market 2023

Jina
I was going to go to the Maji Market, but when I got to the gate, I froze. I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I panicked when I saw how many people there were.

(Player)
I know how you feel.
Jina
You do? I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way.
N-Not that I want you to be worried! I'm just... relieved I'm not the only one.
I've never been great with crowds, so I usually have to mentally prepare myself before dealing with any.
I've been so caught up with my research lately that I didn't get a chance to do that.
I'm bummed I'm going to miss out on the Maji Market, but hopefully there'll be a next time!

(Player)
There's always next time!
Jina
That's what I keep telling myself.
I've never been great with crowds, so I usually have to mentally prepare myself for dealing with any.
I've been so caught up with my research lately that I didn't get a chance to do that.
I'm bummed I'm going to miss out on the Maji Market, but hopefully there'll be a next time!
