Dialogue and Mail

Introduction

Upon speaking to Kenli

Kenli

Oh dear... oh, fiddle and fudge sticks. (Player)! Just the face I wanted to see!

Eshe is on the warpath, I tell you! I haven't seen her this upset since my sister called our estate quaint!

Player

Calm down and tell me the problem.

Kenli

That puppy of Hassian's has been digging holes in our garden.

Player

Is there anything I can do to help?

Kenli

That puppy of Hassian's has been digging holes in our garden.

Player

Well, your giant mansion IS pretty quaint.

Kenli

It's certainly a little smaller than the ancestral home, yes... and there's only one kitchen! But that's not the matter at hand!

Player

Sounds like you need my help!

Kenli

That puppy of Hassian's has been digging holes in our garden.

They're positively everywhere! He even damaged some of our flower beds.

I would fix them up myself, you see, but I misplaced my gardening gloves.

Player

And...?

Kenli

I cannot garden without my gardening gloves! That would be like cooking without dari cloves!

It's simply not done.

Player

You're right, that's an insurmountable obstacle.

Kenli

Now you understand my dilemma!

Ah, but...

Yes, that might work.

You could fix the flower beds for me.

Player

I don't have gloves either.

Kenli

Oh, that's quite alright. It can be done without them!

Player

I'll help for a fee.

Kenli

If course, of course! You'll be rewarded handsomely.

Player

My middle name is "oddjob".

Kenli

Er, what is a middle name? ...Nevermind, as long as you'll help

Player

Say no more!

Kenli

I knew I could rely on you, (Player).

Now, you'll just need to collect these materials, and then repair the beds!

Come tell me when you're all done!

Well then, I've got a very important na- er, meeting that I can't miss. Toodle-oo!

Progression

Optional: Speak to Hassian.

Player

Tau destroyed the mayor's garden.

Hassian

He dug a few holes. I would not call that "destroyed".

Still, I will not have it said my partner runs amok. Here.

These should help repair the damage.

Optional: Speak to Tau.

Missing dialogue for Water path.

Tau

(Tau wags his tail as you approach, lifting a dirty paw in greeting. He looks very proud of himself.)

Player

You've really done it this time.

Tau

Awoof!

Player

I can't stay mad at that face!

Tau

Awoof!

Player

I wish I knew what you were thinking...

Tau

Information needed.

Player

(high-five Tau)

Tau

(You give Tau a high-five. Your hand comes away smudged with gardening soil. Tau has learned absolutely nothing about his bad behavior from this interaction.)

Return to Kenli.

Player

I repaired the garden.

Kenli

And saved me from certain anguish! If we're lucky Eshe didn't even notice anything was amiss.

Here, I'm sure all that was quite hungry work!

Oh! I nearly forgot! I noticed Tau heading towards your plot. You'd better go make sure he's not aiming for your garden next!

Speak to Tau at your home.

Tau

Wuwoooo!

Player

Come to thank me?

Player

Hi, boy!

Player

Awoo-woof?

Player

You're here without Hassian?

Tau

(Tau is holding a small package in his mouth. He drops it at your feet and waits expectantly for you to open it.)

Conclusion

Speak again to Tau at your home after opening present.

Tau

Arf?!

Player

This is awesome!

Player

Slobbery explosives, my favorite!

Player

Oh... uhm, thank you?

Player

I don't know what I expected.

Tau

Boof awoof!

(Tau licks your palm and then trots away looking proud of himself.)
