#### 1 Star

* "I'm really not much for conversation."

* Oh, are you sure about that? I... uh, I don't really know what to talk about. Sorry (player)."

* "I mean, if you have something to say I guess I'll listen. But I don't have much to contribute. / I'm not very interesting... That's what everybody says. Sorry."

* "You sure you want to talk to me? You must have more important stuff to do! I'm not even worth talking to, I promise."

* "I get really anxious when someone approaches. My mind just blanks. I don't know why, but I've always been this way. I don't mean to make you mad!"

#### 2 Stars

* "I hunt and I catch bugs. That's all there is to know about me. / I'm not really good at making conversation. I'm trying to get better, I promise!"

* "If I were you, I don't think I'd ever try to get to know me."

* "My company usually consists of Shrews and Voles. They don't ask so many questions. / Oh, I didn't mean to offend you (player)! ...I'm so bad at this."

* "I can't carry a conversation. Someone told me that once, and it really stuck. I think they were right."

* "I hope I'm not in trouble!! Usually when a cat wants to talk it's to tell me that I messed up."

#### 3 Stars

* "You're very persistent, aren't you? I do like your gifts, (player). I'm just not good at showing it."

* "Oh, is there something in my teeth? I've been trying to get it out for an hour now, but it's pretty stuck in there."

* "Mmmmm! Did you just have a snack? I can smell it on your breath, (player)!"

* "This is going to sound ridiculous, but earlier today I saw my own tail in the corner of my vision and got scared. / I thought a Bat was coming to get me! / Do normal cats do silly things like that?"

* "I'm trying to get better at talking, so I went up to Coco yesterday and tried to start a conversation. / But I ran out of things to say after we exchanged 'hello's! Why is this so hard for me?"

#### 4 Stars

* "I'm honestly most talkative at night. It's weird how that works. Is that normal, (player)?"

* "It's nice having someone come by to check up on me. You're a very thoughtful cat, (player)."

* "Coco says I need to have more self-confidence. I don't even know what that means."

* "I actually really like hunting. I'm pretty good at it too! / Sorry, I didn't mean to brag."

* "Thank you for taking the time to talk to me. Sorry I'm not always super talkative back. I do appreciate it, I promise."

#### 0 Hearts

* "I think I'll be going now. ...See you later, (player)..."

#### 1 Heart

* "Oh goodness, I just figured out how to talk normal around you and now there's a new layer of embarrassment because we're dating. / Why isn't this as difficult for you as it is for me?"

* "I like spending time with you. That's a rarity. That's how I know I like you."

* "We don't have to talk. We can just spend time together. Maybe we can go hunting for bugs in the forest instead."

* "Coco was just asking me about you. I didn't know what to say, I'm not used to cats approaching me. It always spikes my anxiety."

* "How do you know that you like a cat? I once heard it said that you'll know when your heart is beating faster in your chest when the other cat is around. / But my heart is always beating faster in my chest when anybody comes close, so how can I be sure?"

#### 2 Hearts

* "I'm so happy you saw past my shyness and gave me a chance. I know I'm not the most approachable of cats. / I usually get spooked and run away when I don't recognize someone."

* "Am I doing OK? I don't really know how to be in a relationship to be frank. / I'm worried I'm going to let you down!"

* "You sure you meant for me to have that Red Rose? Surely you've thought about it since then. Am I really your first choice? / That makes me feel nice and warm inside."

* "I didn't realize I was so affectionate. Guess I never really had an outlet for it before. Sorry if I keep tickling you with my tail."

* "I feel so awkward! Everybody knows we're in a relationship now, (player). And they won't shut up about it! / What if I say something wrong or do something that makes you not like me any more?"

#### 3 Hearts

* "Sorry, I can't stop blushing when I see you! It makes me nervous for some reason."

* "I get so lost in my own thoughts sometimes. I try to think three steps ahead and it usually comes back to bite me. / I'm trying to live in the moment, day to day. Today is good, because I'm with you."

* "Say, if a Snake ever sneaks into my den, you'd deal with it right? / Now that I've got you to do my dirty work, I don't have to worry about all the what-ifs!"

* "I'm glad to see you so happy. It makes me happy. It's like a cycle of happiness."

* "I might have snuck into your den and grabbed something. But I'll never tell you what! You'll have to guess. Surprises are romantic anyways!"

#### 4 Hearts

* "With you by my side, I don't really have to worry about losing my home or getting beat up. I've got you to protect me."

* "My den is a bit small. Isn't yours more comfy? / Oh, I crossed the line! I'm sorry! It won't happen again."

* "I'm starting to think more positively about myself, and I think that's your fault. / At least with me around, you won't have to worry about going hungry!"

* "I'm glad I moved out here. I wasn't so sure about it at first. New experiences scare me, if you couldn't tell. / But if I hadn't moved I wouldn't have met you, (player)! So it was definitely worth it."

* "Do you ever think about how life could be so different if you had made different choices along the way? I couldn't sleep last night, that thought was keeping me up. / It's scary not knowing what the future holds."

#### 0 Rings

* "...I think I really screwed up. I'm so bad at all of this."

#### 1 Ring

* "Phew, I'm glad the wedding is over. I hated being in front of all those cats. It's a lot of pressure! / I just wanted to get it over with and be married to you, (player). Now I have what I want and I'm content."

* "I'm going to try to snag us some dinner. I smelled a whole family of Voles when I was walking the other day. Hopefully they're still out there."

* "We are total opposites, don't you think? / You're super social and have a ton of responsibilities. I'm timid and would hate to be in charge. I think that's why we work so well together, (player)."

* "I didn't know if marriage was right for me. I didn't think any cat would ever want to get to know me enough to actually strike up a relationship, let alone propose. / It's all so confusing! I'm glad it happened though."

* "Anything I can help you with today, (player)? / Except for fighting, of course! I can hold my own, but it really frightens me. Anything other than that is what I meant."

#### 2 Rings

* "I don't always need to talk. I enjoy just hanging out. If you've got something on your mind I'll listen, but I'm content to spend some time together."

* "Sorry about last night! I think I pushed you out of the bed. Or maybe that was a dream. I don't really know."

* "It's surprising how much more fun everything is when you've got someone to do it with. Even hunting is better when we're together!"

* "So few cats even bother to get to know me. Which is understandable, because I don't get to know them either. I'm probably the worst cat to talk to, I don't have the skillset for conversing. / I used to think that was a major flaw. Then you showed up. Seems like it was alright after all. / I'm starting to understand that's just how I am and I should be more comfortable with it."

* "I want to hear a story about your day! You seemed so busy yesterday that surely something exciting happened. Anything worth mentioning?"

#### 3 Rings

* "Sorry if I startled you last night. I have a bad habit of walking around super quietly. I think it came about because I would try to avoid talking to cats, so I didn't want them to notice me. / I had to get up to get a drink in the middle of the night. I couldn't tell if you saw me come back in or not."

* "I didn't sleep at all last night. There was a noise outside the den that I didn't like. I sleep pretty lightly anyways. / If it happens again, should I wake you up to investigate or would you rather keep sleeping?"

* "Oh, (player), you've got a twig caught in your fur. Let me get that for you. / There we go, all better!"

* "Your tongue is super scratchy! I don't mean it as an insult, it's really good at getting stuff out of my fur. Just a random observation."

* "Must've been hard work getting to know me. I'm not exactly an open book. / You were so persistent. Stopping by every day it felt like. At first I didn't like it. Not one bit! / But then I got used to it and I realized I liked you. It's embarrassing how quickly I started to develop feelings for you. / I don't know if you realized it or not! It's pretty embarrassing, isn't it? I'm done talking about it."

#### 4 Rings

* "Got much to do today, or do you want to hang out? We could go climb a tree or something. I've always wanted to try that."

* "You're so hard-working! If you ever want to take a break and get a quick nap in with me, just let me know. I usually sleep a bit around noon so that I'm ready to stay up late."

* "I still feel like you're too good for me. I don't know why I can't shake the feeling."

* "You got really warm last night, so I curled up next to you and held your paw. / I hope I didn't wake you up!"

* "Thanks for everything you do for me, (player). It's not difficult to feel your love for me. You work so hard to support our family!"

#### Rival Marriage

* "I still stay up late, but I have to be quiet and tip-toe around the den or else I'll wake Bob up. / Our sleep schedules are pretty different!"
* "I'm not great at making friends. I was pretty lonely when I first moved here, living in my small den all by myself... / Married life is much better for me. Bob brings such loving energy into our home. You can really feel it."
* "I'm so excited! Bob is going to go fishing later and bring back some Minnows. That's our favorite family meal!"
