Delaila

If you see Auni, could you tell him he left his shoes in the hallway… again?

Delaila

This farm has been in my family for generations.

There's no better legacy you can leave your family than land.

Hopefully one day, Auni will grow to appreciate that.

Delaila

This house may not look like much, but these walls have seen more than you could ever know.

They saw me and Badruu fall in love. They saw my children born.

They've seen every scrape on my boys' knees.

As you get older, you learn that's what's important, not having the best furniture of the biggest dining hall.

Delaila

If you ever sneak a peek inside Auni's Clubhouse, let me know what you see in there.

I'm afraid there's a big drawing of me with evil wings!

Missing path for Earth dialogue.

Delaila

I don’t mean to be a snoop, but I happened to find Auni's diary while I was cleanin' his room the other day.

I know I shouldn’t look at it, but I really want to know what it says...

I think, maybe if I knew a little bit more about what was goin' on in his life I could help him.

Player

Read it! You deserve to know!

Delaila

Information Needed

Player

Don't read it.

Delaila

You're right...the boy deserves his privacy.

Delaila

If you want to make the freshest custards, I suggest raiding your own animals for milk and eggs.

Not only can you better control the quality that way, but nothin' tastes as good as dinner made with ingredients from yer own farm.

Delaila

If you get a chance to stop by the stable, could you tell Nai'o he needs to wear his sunscreen?

Workin' outside all day is likely to turn the boy magenta.

Delaila

Don't tell Nai'o, but I don't really see a future with him and that Bahari girl.

I mean, can you honestly see Kenyatta spending her life tending to vegetables, making jam, and patching holes in his boots?

But, still, I don't want to interfere. It's best to let the boy learn these things on his own.

Delaila

Even though she's gettin' on in years, Ol' Butterball never fails to produce lots o' quality milk.

Don't believe me? Just try it!

+1  Milk

Delaila

Petunia's had a productive egg day today.

I wonder if it has something to do with all the attention she's been gettin' from ol' Feathers.

Delaila

Poor Butterball had a calf die last summer.

That's why I like to give her a little extra attention when I'm tending to the animals.

I can't imagine what I would be like if something happened to one of my boys.

Delaila

I hear you built yourself quite the homestead. Way to go!

There's nothin' like the feelin' of a job well done.

Who knows, maybe one day you'll settle down and fill that house with a few wee babes.

...or a least a couple of screamin' pekis.

Delaila

Didya hear Harvest Meadows is getting a train? Yeah, it goes straight inta Bahari City if ya can believe it.

Those people already spend so much time lookin' down their noses at us.

This is only gonna make it worse...

Delaila

I've tried to keep my head down and focus on my work, but there's no denying the change your people are bringing to this small town...

Though if your presence is an indication, I'd say things are lookin' to change for the better.

Delaila

I'm trying a new technique for my jam this [sic] year's Festival of Bounties.

I'm adding in some spice sprouts to cut down the sweetness.

If you don't move ahead, you'll be getting behind.

Delaila

Look, I know I've shared with you that our farm isn't in the greatest situation financially.

Could you do me a favor and not mention that fact to my boys?

I wouldn't want them to worry.

Delaila

Lean in, and I'll tell ya a secret dream I haven't told anyone.

Sometimes I lay up at night thinking about how wonderful it would be to sleep in until noon and eat breakfast in bed.

But then the peki crows, and I'm back at it again.

Delaila

Did you know that the Dragon sends us farmers messages from his wellspring on the moon?

Yep, that twinkle there means rain is on its way.

It's nice to know that the Dragon, as busy as he is, makes time for the little people.

Delaila

I love my husband, but between you and me, sometimes his attempts to lighten the mood around here get exhausting.

I mean, can't we just have a serious conversation for once?

Pretending we aren't in trouble doesn't mean we magically won't be!

Delaila

Don’t tell Badruu, but sometimes I like to sneak off to the library when I'm going to the store and read naughty novels.

I know he wouldn’t mind me taken(sic) a wee break, but there’s somethin' about keepin' it a secret that feels exciting.

Delaila

You’d never guess it by lookin' at him, but Zeki is just the biggest gossip hound.

Did you know that Eshe used to go with Kenli's sister before she married him?

Now, I don’t know if that's true, but it’s a good story.

Delaila

Cleaning up every night after dinner has NOT been good for my waist, let me tell you.

I can't help myself from snacking on everyone’s leftovers.

Delaila

I really don't mind doin' the cleaning when Auni goes off to play.

But could you ask him to at least do me the favor of picking up his plate after dinner before he runs off?

Delaila

It may look like I'm just doin' the sweepin', but in reality I'm lookin' for this week's recipe(sic) for the seed shop.

Badruu managed to lose them, and I'm not sure I can do the books without 'em.

Delaila

I almost didn't see you there, I was so wrapped up in my book.

It’s an almanac on all the latest crop rotation techniques.

Fascinating stuff if you ever want to give it a look.

Delaila

Don't tell Badruu, but I've got a special sweetberry pie in the oven... just for him.

Delaila

If the pekis have a tendency to wake you up in the mornin' with their crowin', I suggest gettin' ear plugs…

Or perhaps just learn to get up earlier.

Delaila

Pekis sure are cute, but that's not why I raise 'em.

I gotta make sure to put breakfast on the table for my boys every mornin', and what better way to do that then ensure we have a constant supply of fresh eggs?

Delaila

I don't know about you, but I find cleaning sort of relaxin'. It’s nice to know everything's in its place.

Delaila asks The Player Questions

Delaila

Auni's been beggin' me for a plumehound lately, but I’m not sure if I should give in.

What’d you think?

Player

Get one!

Delaila

Eh, who knows...maybe I'll get him a pup for Summer Festival this year.

It's always useful to have a mutt 'round the farm to scare off those pesky chapaas.

Why Kenli brought those things to tha valley, I'll never know.

Player

Tell him you got one, but it’s invisible.

Delaila

You know Badruu actually did that when Auni was just a wee spring bean.

He started cleaning chapaa dung out of the garden sayin' it belonged to the hound.

Delaila

Tell me the truth. If you could've picked where you would've rather materialized, would've it been... here or Harvest Meadows?

Player

I'd have to think about it

Delaila

What more could you possibly need ta know?

They're full of nothin' but fancy rubbish like hair salons and "art-tea-see-nal" cheese markets. We're full of good, honest folk.

That's what matters...

Player

Here, obviously!

Delaila

Of course ya would! We don't need fancy things like hair salons or "art-tea-see-nal" cheese markets!

Player

Harvest Meadows for sure...

Delaila

Now your[sic] just yankin' me chain.

I can't believe you'd pick meaningless finery over bein' surrounded by good, honest folk [sic]

That's what matters...

Delaila

We've got a bunch of potatoes that are about to spoil. Do you think we could pickle them?

Is that a thing? Pickled potatoes?

Player

Sounds gross.

Delaila

You're right. I'm startin' to get desperate. Between you and me, money's been a little short lately.

Player

I've never tried it...

Delaila

I suppose it's worth givin' it a try. Between you and me, money's been a little short lately.

Specific Time

In the morning?

Delaila

You just woke me from the strangest dream!

I dreamed that I entered my world famous sweetberry jam into the contest at the Festival of Bounties like I do every year...

But when I went to go accept my victor’s laurels, the entire jar turned to worms.

At night

Delaila

What are you doin' up so late? Eh... it doesn't matter.

Badruu's snoring has been keeping me up, so it's nice to have the company.

At night

Delaila

It’s been nice to see you, but it's about time for me to turn in.

Tell Badruu and the kids goodnight if you see 'em.

In the evening/night

Delaila

Today’s been quite the grind, but I still look forward to waking up and givin' it another shot tomorrow.

During Delaila's Level 2 Friendship Quest: The Cricket Problem

Delaila

Tonight, we’re having freshly stuffed foraged mushrooms for supper.

Can't get any farm fresh vegetables anymore with the cricket situation still afoot.

Delaila

You haven't gotten a chance to make progress with those crickets have you?

I woke up this morning to see one of the little buggers on my freshly planted cabbages.

After Delaila's Level 2 Friendship Quest: The Cricket Problem

Delaila

Reth will be happy to finally get his lettuce again, now that those crickets are taken care of.

After Badruu's Level 2 Friendship Quest: Badruu Blues

Delaila

Oh, (Player)! Just the Human I was wanting to see.

Nai'o told me what you did for my husband. Ever since his gift, I swear he’s been acting twenty years younger!

Reminds me of when we met... he was such a dashing young man back then. And what a charmer!

Oh, just listen to me prattle on! Don’t mind me, dearie, just reminiscing.

After Delaila's Level 3 Friendship Quest: either Berry Blues or Fertile Ground (depending on Player's choice):

Delaila

Badruu's taking care of the dinner tonight. I've got to focus on making the jam if I want to make enough for the festival.

During/After Delaila's Level 3 Friendship Quest: either Berry Blues or Fertile Ground (depending on Player's choice):

Delaila

The family is so excited about the Festival of Bounties. We go every year.

Nai'o likes to check out the ormuus. Auni loves the sweets. Badruu spends the whole day listening to music.

And I just look forward to winning the jam contest again.

I know it may feel petty, but it’s nice to have one day a year where I get a little extra attention.

After Badruu's Level 3 Friendship Quest: Music to My Ears

Delaila

Badruu told me you were the one who encouraged him to sing for me.

Thank you. He has such a beautiful voice, I almost forgot how much I missed hearin' him use it.

During/After Kenli's Level 3 Friendship Quest: The Bad News

Delaila

This mornin' I heard from Zeki that the Duchess wants to raise my taxes, and then he didn’t even have the courage to confront me himself.

After I get done here, I am going straight to City Hall to give him a piece of me mind.

After Delaila's Level 4 Friendship Quest: What Goes Around

Delaila

I was only seventeen when I last lost the jam contest at the Festival of Bounties to Maize.

I can still remember the look on her smug face when she accepted that laurel.

Oh well, I remember she also had her eyes on a certain bard who played at the festival that year.

So, I won the contest that really mattered...

After Kenli's Level 4 Friendship Quest: A Bigger Harvest

Delaila

Look, I wanted to thank ya for all you've done ta help my family with the mayor.

Here, why don'tcha take this on the house? I gotta do what I can to say thanks.

+1 Apple Jam

After Main Quest: The Acceptance Ceremony

Delaila

Your Acceptance ceremony was so beautiful, dearie. It actually brought a wee tear to my eye!

When Auni saw me weepin' with joy, he laughed so hard, you'da thought I was the one tellin' jokes every night at the Inn...

Not me husband.

Pin Reactions

Kenyatta's Pin

Delaila

That pin...it belongs to the Bahari girl, don't it?

How did you...you know what, I don't want to know. It isn't my business.
