The Fairhaven Coven/Dialogues

The following is a list of quotes and conversations the player can have with other coven members throughout the game outside of quests, organized by character and season when the conversation takes place.

## Acolyte/Herbalist

 I'm not the newest witch in the coven anymore! Now you have to run errands for everyone!
Tara: Oh… that doesn't stop?
 Cast any good incantation spells lately?
Tara: Er… no.
 One time I messed up my proportions when I was making a big vat of Miracle Grow. I tested it on a mushroom, and it exploded to like… ten times its original size.
Tara: What did you do?
Acolyte: I stuffed the mushroom in my bag and took it home, duh. Fresh produce is expensive!

 Betcha never thought you'd be planting crops in the Gloaming!
Tara: I'm still not sure it's safe.
 Mom was - is - really good at acting calm, even if she doesn't know what to do. We'd probably all be less stressed if she was here.

 You know, we should put up a sign that says "NO WRAITHS ALLOWED ON THIS PLANE OF EXISTENCE."
Tara: Can wraiths read?
Herbalist Violet: I don't know, but they'll feel our intentions!

## Adept

 What kind of witch will you be?
Tara: A good witch!
Adept: There are no good witches or bad witches. Only good or bad actions.

 Tara: So if I use my boat to get to Ravenwood Hollow… how does everyone else get there?
Adept Amira: A different form of transportation reveals itself to each of us over time. Mine, for example, is a funicular. And no one can see it but me!
 Tara: What about you, Adept? Is your familiar around here somewhere?
Adept Amira: Of course! She's a red fox that Aryel rescued from a trap a few years ago. She's a little skittish, but I adore her.

 I've seen many people possessed by jinn. But a disembodied wraith whooshing right by my face on its way to find a victim? That's a new one for me.

 There's an Iranian festival, a week before the New Year, where we burn rue and frankincense. I wonder if it started as a way to appease local Wellsprings? Just as we're doing with the pine cones.

## Journeyman

 Is all the secrecy and fancy speech getting to you yet?
Tara: Heh, is it that obvious?
 Tara: Does the newest member of the coven always have to gether supplies for turning the seasons?
 Try not to blow off any arms or legs while trying out new spells. It's harder to stay a secret society that way.

 Tara: Damon, how are you both here and at the bar most nights?
Journeyman Damon: It's called a broom, Tara.
Tara: Yeah, but…
 I thought my parents were kinda young to retire, but I get it now. Running the bar and maintaining the Wellspring is a lot.
Tara: Plus they were raising a kid!
 Tara: Will we be seeing your familiar at the coven circle anytime soon?
 Tara: So… this boat I use for inter-dimensional travel. Can you see it?
Journeyman Damon: Sure can't! And I couldn't when the boat was Hazel's, either. That's how it works. Honestly, you're missing out more than me. You don't get to see my magic scooter!

## Farseer

Tara: I'm sorry… what?
Farseer: Name's Farseer. I see. Far.
Tara: Like, you've got great vision?
Farseer: Visions.
 TaraL Have you ever thought about being the High Priest?
Farseer: Nah, nah. I'm good at the prophesyin' and the mutterin'. Not so much the leadin'. 'Sides, there's all the paperwork.
Tara: Coven leaders have to do paperwork?
 Tara: Gramma said we should come out of hiding. Maybe she was right.
 Make sure you use the right ingredients for your incantations. Wouldn't want ya to accidentally give everyone in town bunny ears.
Tara: That… that is not something I could actually do, right?
 Tara: Hiya Farseer. Seen anything interesting lately?
Farseer: I see a witch who oughta be tendin' to her cauldron.
 Tara: Is the coven the reason people seem to be afraid of these woods?
 Tara: Can you really see the future?
Farseer: Yep. For example, you're about to ask another fool question.
 We have to meet at night to keep the coven secret from the townsfolk. But make sure ya get yer sleep. Tired witches just brew up trouble. And not the good kind.

 Tara: Shelby, do you have a familiar, too?
Farseer Shelby: I got… uh… four. Right now. But I've had more. Only fools think ya can only have one familiar. Yer life changes every day, doesn't it?

 Tara: The people who went after your family… what did they do?
Farseer Shelby: Sometimes, girl, the fire started by a wraith is heated words 'n bitter looks. But sometimes that fire's no figure of speech.
Tara: Shelby…
 Tara: Do you ever go in the Gloaming, Farseer?
 Mind that no one finds your sanctum. I'll be hard to explain that before Otto and his neighborhood watch.

Tara: Me, too. Peri says it's the best thing for keeping the wraiths away.
Farseer Shelby: That's all well 'n good, but I'm talkin' about soup. Fennel bulbs make a mean broth.

## High Priestess

High Priestess: High Priestess works fine, you know.
Tara: Okay, well… High Priestess, how long has this coven been in Fairhaven?
 You are forbidden to approach the standing stones.
Tara: Why's that?
High Priestess: It is not for you to know.
Tara: Who is it for… to… know?
 Tara: Who are you really?
 Tara: Are you sure I can handle finding the things you need for something as important as changing the seasons?
High Priestess: Why do you doubt yourself?
Tara: I guess my life was kind of falling apart when I came to Fairhaven, so…
 Our ways must seems foolish and secretive to one who has not grown up in the coven.
Tara: A little.
High Priestess: We must wear disguises, we must meet in secret and we must be careful of who we let into our order. To fail in these duties is to invite scrutiny from others. Then there is fear. Fear is dangerous and in the wrong hands, a weapon. It has always been this way.

 Tara: Would I still need to figure out every witch's identity if I had grown up in Fairhaven?
 So… I hear you were the one who welcomed the meteorologist to town, Tara.
Tara: Yeah, Otto volun-forced me for the job. But Giva seems nice, so I didn't mind.
High Priestess: She may be nice, but her presence here could be dangerous. She came here to look into Fairhaven's weather patterns. We cause those weather patterns.
Tara: (Isn't it harmless?) She's just researching! It's harmless, right?
High Priestess: Maybe. And maybe not. Maybe it's a front. If she's a competent meteorologist, she'll dig far enough into the island's weather that she just might find us at the center. We should all keep an eye on her discoveries.
Tara: Wait. No. No. I don't think that's what Gramma would have wanted. Didn't she warn us against this exact attitude? Even if Giva does uncover something that points to us, that isn't necessarily bad. Maybe she's trustworthy.
 Tara: So the head of the Fairhaven coven is my former babysitter, Lina-
High Priestess Lina: Don't say it!
Tara: But no one can hear us out here. And you're not wearing your mask!
 Tara: Do you have a familiar, High Priestess?
 Be certain that no one sees you coming or going from this new place. With Otto's new Neighborhood Watch, we can't be too careful.

 What would my dad say if he knew the coven had let a wraith slip through under my leadership?
Tara: He'd probably say, "This could have happened to anyone."
 The Wellspring has challenged us more this Fall than any season I can remember. And yet… Winter is often the most difficult season of the year…

 Tara: Zephyr finished the improvements on my wand, High Priestess.
 Tara: How do you know that another witch is going to just - join us?
 Tara: I hope we can convince Francis to come back. That was a pretty shocking way of learning he's a witch.
 Tara: High Priestess… what happens if we can't turn the seasons?
 I've tried my best to keep my role in the coven separate from my family life. Maybe that was a mistake. But it's a mistake that's too late to undo.
