* Intro

* Bernard & Rose
* Blake
* Logan
* Gunnar & Torben
* Roland, Ed & Lenny
* Conclusion

Bernard will be in his usual cheeful, selfless and bright mood and is shocked when you offer to help him out and try suggesting that you have more important things to tend to. You can either: *"Pretend to be offended"* or *"Silence him with a kiss"* (3 hearts required) which will develop into a lovers quarell or *"Change your mind"* will end the conversation and you will be brought back to his talk menu.

In which Rose will walk in towards (She is guaranteed to show up) and Rose will also start teasting Bernard and you will be given two more options. Regardless of what option you pick Rose will like you more. After that, there is a chance that Rose will ask for 5 berries (blue, red green, yellow) you only need to give her one colour variant gain 20 coins. 20 coins the the maximum you will get from her.

Initally, she will leave the shop then you and Bernard will have some PTA in which Rose will pop into the shop again to remind Bernard that she will finish his request today. You question whether she was purposeful reminder or was she being nossy. Futhermore, you and Bernard continue with your shopkeeping duities until Bernard's tempation compels him to make a move on you when you can either: *"Assure him that he can he himself around you"* you tell him his advances are welcome, *"Joke about the situation"* which makes you tease him again or *"Just shrug it off"* which doesn't open up extra dialouge.

Moving on, the next cutomer will walk in; all of the subsequent customers have a random chance to happen.
There is a chance that Blake will arrive at the shop and will speak in his usual minimal manner. In which Bernard will accept his request and fill you in some infomation about him after he leave the shop.

Also Logan will make a request in which Bernard will ask you to *"Stay in the shop"* or *"Go with Logan"*.

1. * *"Stay in the shop"* will have you making sure that no unwanted guests arrive at the shop, In which Bernard will come back and speak about his time with Logan.
	* On the otherhand, going with Logan will open up two more options: *"Make small talk"* which Logan will dissapprove of
	* Helping out and remaining silent will make Logan will like you more
	* After that you will return to Bernard for the reminder of the day.

Torben and Gunnar can arrive at the shop, Gunnar will make his usual advances towards you (30 likes required) Gunnar will like you more, if you let it happen. **However, this will make Bernard will like you less.** Rejecting his advances will make him scoff and the conversation moves on to Bernard and Torben.

Roland, Edmund and Lenny can also arrive at the shop, if you had saved them during the *Country Road* quest.

After the 2nd notable customer of the day leaves, Bernard will subsidise you for your services: Accept the offer gives 100 coins or reject the offer gives you 50 coins. Both of these options will make Bernard like you more.
