**Carneau** is the mayor of Aviar Cove and a member of the board for their historical society. In his eyes, tradition is an important aspect of life and respect and he is saddened to see the younger generation rejecting it. Manners will go far when interacting with him.

As mayor, Carneau takes on many duties, even organizing parties. The Aviar Cove Air Carriers, the flying postal service, is his pride and joy. To see young people especially taking an interest in the art of flying fills him with happiness.

## Background

Carneau's family has been involved with the historical community for many generations and his father was the previous chair of the board. Aside from that, he too was an air carrier since finishing his studies all the way until he retired.

Even as a youngster, Carneau was keen on upholding family tradition and his specialty as a student was history. His own daughter is more indifferent towards the subject and has chosen a different path in life, though she has inherited her father's stubbornness and love of the skies. She has left the nest and most likely lives elsewhere.

Carneau developed a love for baking through his mother's family recipes.

## Personality

Upholding tradition is very important to Carneau, as is keeping it "alive" in the younger generations. Carneau also has a bit of a pompous and self-important manner, which is somewhat fitting for a town mayor.

## Relationships

Carneau harbors a secret love for Celestine, but has for long kept it to himself, describing himself as a "timid romantic." Their opposing views do not seem to bother him as he finds everything about her fantastic.

He has tried to recruit Johaness to the Junior Air Carriers. It is his way of trying to do something good for him, as Carneau believes routine, discipline and guidance to be important. This hinders Johaness' dream of building a boat, as Carneau will repeatedly deny his requests for a docking permit.

During the seasonal event Kelbi's Spiralwood Festival he helps Lula organize the festival and wake up Kelbi. He participates in preparations and leads the Air Carriers performance during the Clattering.

## Chance Machine

Some of the items that Carneau wears can be found in his Chance Machine, "Carneau's Hall of History," along with an assortment of other items.

One spin costs 800 .

## Affection Milestones

Carneau will send you letters after reaching certain Affection milestones.

I take my pen in hand to inquire about your well-being, and when you might next visit the City Hall. All of us civil servants very much enjoy your visits. Your presence adds a vibrant energy to these old halls that reminds me of when I was a younger bird!
Why, I was just going on a stroll through the center of town the other day and I remembered my first day as a new Air Carrier. In my nervousness, I mixed up two of my packages! I was so distraught and eager to make reparations that I re-delivered them with an apology in song. At the time I was mortified, but now they are fond memories! It just goes to show that anyone can make mistakes and recover from them, or even go on to be Mayor!
I wish you the best and look forward to the next time that you can stop by.
Yours with esteem,
It is my great hope that you are faring well these days. The weather can be temperamental around this time so be sure to cover up well when you’re out and about.
Speaking of out and about, if you happen to drop by Aviar Cove lately, it would be great to see you! Life has felt somewhat out of sorts lately - I’m sure it’s nothing more than the changing weather - but perhaps it would still be beneficial to see a friend.
Yours truly,
My sincere thanks for your help the other day. I've enclosed some small gifts to show my gratitude, I hope that they will serve you well. It feels insufficient when compared to all that you have done for the city, but I also understand that you are always on the move, and thus I send only that which is easily transported.
The next time you are in Aviar Cove for an extended period, you will have to try my famous pear and sweet potato casserole! I recently baked a batch for our lovely city treasurer, and she can attest that it is quite delectable. After all, before I was Mayor or Air Carrier, I was a committed student of my mother's family recipes.
Do you enjoy baking, fledgling? If so, it would be my honor to share the recipe with you.
Yours with affection,
 Dear Fledgling,
It has been some time since my last letter, so I sit down today to write you a brief update of going-ons at the City Hall. Most notably, we just held our monthly open meeting to discuss ongoing issues with the citizens of Aviar Cove. To say the least, I have a good deal of new items on my to-do list.
Allow me to speak frankly as not only the Mayor, but your close friend. It can be difficult to tackle what seems like an insurmountable mountain of obstacles, but the one successful method I’ve learned is to wake up every morning, wash your wings, and do just a little bit that day. Before you know it, you’ll be flapping along and clearing that mountain.
There I go, blathering again! Thank you for always entertaining an old bird’s ramblings.
With sincere regard,
Happiest of birthdays, my good friend! How wonderful for us that we can celebrate you and all that you do! I’m so delighted that I have half a mind to name a city-wide holiday after you. (Of course, I must refrain from such flagrant acts of favoritism, but I hope you appreciate the sentiment.)
As you grow older and wiser, remember to always be a role model to those younger than you - and for that matter, to those older than you as well! Personally, I admire you greatly, and look forward to the next fantastic year of our acquaintance.
Best wishes and cheer,

Greetings, my small cantankerous friend. I feel it is part of my duty as custodian of this town to point out uncouth behaviour when it occurs. The source of this behaviour currently is you. Perhaps it is simply a product of your environment, but here in Aviar Cove we treat elders with respect.
Please reconsider your actions of late.
Signed,
 Fledgling,
This is a stern missive to halt your heckling behaviour as soon as possible. Enough is enough! If I were just an ordinary citizen, I would file a complaint to the town council against you, but since I am mayor, I must take matters into my own hands.
With great consternation,
Carneau
 World-hopper,

I cannot call you fledgling any longer. You don't deserve the title. 'Fledgling' implies that you're learning, that you still have some capacity for growth. Unfortunately, your every action throughout our acquaintance has led me to believe that you will never improve.

As the mayor of Aviar Cove, I cannot countenance such behavior. Your rudeness, sheer lack of good taste and disregard for the feelings of others disgust me. Never before have I met such an uniformly horrible individual. Consider this an official letter of censure.

Wishing you nothing but the worst,

## Chit Chat

Chit-chatting with a NPC will give you a maximum of +1 Affection per day. They will repeat the same sentences over and over but it’s a nice way of getting to know a bit more about Dappervolk and its inhabitants.

**Low Affection:**

* *"Ho, there! So good to see you again, fledgling!"*
* *"Do not hesitate to confide your worries to me. As Mayor, it is my duty to hear all feedback."*
* *"Good winds today! While I’d love to be up in the air, there’s work to be done!"*
* *"By my beak, you look splendid today! Have you done something new with your hair?"*

**High Affection:**

* *"Between you and me, how would you say I’m doing as Mayor? I ask because I hold your opinion in the utmost regard."*
* *"Fledgling, it warms my heart that you have become fond of Aviar Cove, as well as of our friendship. I’m truly proud to call myself your friend."*
