Kenli: Dialogue: Gifting

After First Gift

At the Player's Housing Plot

Kenli
I was reading a book in the Library on Palian Astrology, and I realized that I[sic] my sign is the Farmer!
If only signs equated to Paths...I think I would have been much happier. Governance is so hard!
While reading the book, I also realized that my Starstone is Jasper, which explains why hazel has always been my favorite color. Its sunny color helps people feel at home.
You've always done your best to make me feel at home, like jasper in human form. So why don't you take this, so your home feel even more sunny and welcoming?

+ Sunny Jasper Stucco Wall

Starstone

Given Jasper

Kenli
Goodness! This is a Jasper, isn't it?
I lost my last starstone... but I'll be sure not to misplace this one!
Thank you very much, Player!

Requests

Requesting Akwinduu Chapaa, Bouillabaisse, Chapaa Masala, Muujin Bahari, Steak Dinner, Petit Fives

Kenli
Ever since we had to fire our chef Enzo, I've been trying to make dinner on my own.
Eshe has officially banned me from our kitchen... how will I get (Awkinduu Chapaa/ Bouillabaisse / Chapaa Masala / Muujin Bahari / steak / Petit Fives) now?

Requesting Azure Chapaa Tail, Striped Chapaa Tail

Kenli
My luck is so bad lately I don't think just any chapaa tail will do.
Only (an azure / a striped) chapaa tail will dispell [sic] all the bad energy in my office!

Requesting Celebration Cake

Kenli
Eshe doesn't like to let me eat cake, but sometimes I try to sneak a slice anyways.

Requesting Chapaa Meat

Kenli
My wife's been asking for Akwinduu Chapaa ever since our chef left.
Maybe I can earn my way back into her good graces if I whip one up for her?

Requesting Creamy Carrot Soup, Loaded Potato Soup, Palian Onion Soup

Kenli
Sometimes when I need to get away from Eshe, I go to the inn and order dinner.
Reth's (Soup) is one of my favorites!

Requesting Elder Clam Mushroom Meat, Fish Stew Grilled Fish, Grilled Oyster, Ramen, Trout Dinner, Meaty Stir Fry

Kenli
I've been so swamped with paperwork lately, I forgot to eat!
Do you think you could bring me some (Elder Clam Mushroom Meat / fish stew / grilled fish / grilled oyster / ramen / trout / stirfry)?

Requesting Garden Ladybug, Princess Ladybug

Kenli
Have you heard of a... "(garden / princess) ladybug"?
I'm quite partial to them, but I can never manage to catch one. They're MUCH too fast for me.

Requesting Pan Fried Dumplings

Kenli
Oh, the things I would do for a plate of pan fried dumplings!
If you happen to make any, please share some with me!

Requesting Sashimi

Kenli
I have been craving some good, locally caught Fish lately.
Perhaps you could bring me some fresh sashimi?

Requesting Spotted Chapaa Tail, Striped Chapaa Tail

Kenli
You know...I've been looking for a (spotted / striped) Chapaa tail.
I hear they're lucky.
And I could use all the luck I can get.

Requesting Wagon Wheel

Kenli
Eshe says the rivers have been getting polluted since people began moving into our village.
Perhaps you could fish up a wagon wheel or something as a show of good faith?

Requests For Other Villagers

• For Eshe:

Requesting Silver Bar, Gold Bar

Kenli
All Eshe's been able to talk about is how the price of (silver / gold) has skyrocketed lately...
...and how if we had more we could maybe start fixing up the old docks and become a stop for traveling merchants again.
My wife may seem demanding, but all she really wants is for the village to prosper.
Maybe if you find some (silver / gold) you could find it in your heart to share it with her?

Oh, well, ahem, yes! Thank you so much for your contribution!

Rejection

General Rejection

Kenli
I'm not sure what I'd do with this.

Duplicate Weekly Gift

Kenli
I'd love to take another, but Eshe keeps telling me to stop bringing home junk.
I don't see what's so junky about it...

Specific Rejection

Rejecting Ruined Food

Kenli
Oh, erm, well, I'm not sure my refined palate could handle something this... bizarre.

Specific Responses

Given Akwinduu Chapaa, Steak Dinner

Kenli
Is this...?
Oh, I haven't had this since Eshe fired our cook Enzo. And yours looks even better!
Er. Don't tell Eshe I said that.

Given Chapaa Meat, Spotted Chapaa Tail, Striped Chapaa Tail

Kenli
Thanks! I've been looking for one of these.
Hopefully this is a sign my fortune will soon improve.

Given Fish Stew, Palian Onion Soup

Kenli
Oh, this is exactly what I needed to keep me going.
Maybe now I'll be able to finish that form Eshe asked me about last week.
