Dialogue and Mail

Introduction

Upon speaking to Delaila

Delaila

There y'are! I was wondering when you'd come by again.

Seeing you always cheers me right up. It means a lot you take time out of your busy day to gossip with this old peki!

I swear, my own sons could take a page from your book. They're good boys, but they've both been so distracted lately...

But I'm sure you didn't come here to listen to me gripe.

Player

I love griping!

Delaila

I try not to make a habit of it. Complaints don't get the work done, after all!

And there's a lot of work this week.

Player

I'm always happy to listen.

Delaila

Well, you're just a doll, aren't you! Still, I don't like making a habit of complaining.

It don't get the work done, after all! And there's a lot of work this week.

Player

Is something specific bothering you?

Delaila

Oh, you know how it is. There’s always something falling apart or missing at this farm.

Player

Not really.

Delaila

Ha! Sometimes y'need a little brutal honesty. But you're right, complainin' don't get things done.

The Festival of Bounties is comin' up, y'see. Busiest time of the year for us.

But after that cricket fiasco, our berry bushes are in ruins. What ain't eaten don't taste good enough to feed th'ormuu, let alone the judges!

That awful Maize Martingale is gonna beat me this year for sure! And after I swear she tried to steal my recipe last year!

Maybe if I had a whole pile 'a SpeedyGro Fertilizer...

Player

I could bring you berries!

Begins quest Berry Blues.

Player

I can get you some fertilizer!

Begins this quest.

Delaila

Really? I wouldn't want to take from your stockpile, and we can't afford t'pay for any right now.

Player

What else are friends for?

Delaila

Thank you, (Player), I can't say how much this means to me.

And there's a lot of work this week.

Player

It's not a big deal.

Delaila

Maybe not t'you... but to me it means the world.

Player

If you think it'll be good enough...

Delaila

Oh, hush, you! I'm sure it'll be perfect.

Player

I take payment in jam.

Delaila

Oh, you do, do ya? I’ll keep that in mind.

Conclusion

Upon speaking to Delaila with items in inventory

Player

I got you some fertilizer.

Delaila

For my sweetberry jam? Oh thank the Dragon!

I was tryin' to play it cool, but I can't bear the idea of losing to Maize after all these years.

She has the most unbearably smug face when she brags.

Here, take this key. It'll get you into my room- that's where I keep the stockpile of jam.

You help yourself, y'hear?

Now, I'd better get to work... I'll shove this delicious jam right in Maize's scrunched up face!

Post-Quest

Letter from Delaila

Dear (Player),
I just wanted to let you know that I appreciated all your hard work helping me collect those berries. I had a few extra left over, and I thought I'd make ya something sweet to that [sic] you for being such a sweetheart!
