Vanessa Soft/Dialogues

This page lists the dialogue lines for Vanessa Soft.

 When Angus starts making fruity summer tarts, it's hard to resist buying them all! I wonder if I could get him to try that new plant-based, zero-calorie sugar sweetener I read about…
Tara: Why don't you just eat suger every now and then?
 I'm never quite sure what to do with myself when school's out. Plan Otto's taxes? Organize the closets again? Move ahead on that kitchen renovation?
Tara: You could take a real break, just like your students!
 I just want you to know, I'm not judging you for going into the woods. Even though you do go fairly late at night. There are plenty of resources out there that I imagine a farmer could use.
Tara: You know about that?
 Tara: You have such nice eyebrows… Oh. Oh no. I didn't mean to say that out loud!
 Tara: So Vanessa, are you doing anything fun over summer break?
 Tara: Do they have a Summer Festival in Milkwater too, Vanessa?
 My, the Summer Festival was exciting! But you had the most exciting evening of anyone, didn't you?
Tara: Um, nope! It was totally normal!
 I became a teacher because I believe children are our future.
Tara: Oh, so do you have any kids?
 Fairhaven hardly has any culture. Why would a person steal one of the few cultural artifacts this town does have?

Tara: How do you manage having so many jobs?
 Thank goodness the drought unpleasantness is over. Now Damon doesn't have to worry about closing.
Tara: I didn't realize you were so concerned about Damon's bar.
 I might have to go by Sophia's diner later.
Tara: She does have fantastic pie.
 I'm so happy for Angus and Francis. I hope they can both remember to relax and enjoy their special day. Mine was such a disaster. Mother just had to schedule a fundraising breakfast that same day… And she almost missed the last ferry before the ceremony!
Tara: That sounds really stressful!
 I have no idea what came over Cameron during the debate. I was so mortified on his behalf!
Tara: He said it was allergies or something?
 Tara: Vanessa, what do you think about Otto's curfew?
 I was quite surprised to hear Natalia's claim that Sophia might be a witch. She's been having a difficult time with Juliet, which is understandable given her loss. But I don't think she seems like the witchy type.
Tara: What um, is the witchy type?
 So Sophia was innocent after all. I think that's right. Something wasn't quite adding up there.
Tara: Right, so you don't believe there are witches here?
 Mother wrote me a note asking if it's true that we had a trial here in Fairhaven. I don't think I'll answer just yet. The last thing we need is Milkwater trying to insert itself into our business.

Tara: What you're wearing now seems fine.
 I offered to make something in my air fryer for the Winter Feast this year. But Otto said it was better to let Bruno make smoked fish. Again. Tara… do you think it's possible that Otto doesn't like my cooking?
Tara: Does it matter? He clearly adores you.
 Do you think Shelby is all right, living out there in the middle of Winter?
Tara: Oh, he'll be all right. He's very resourceful.
 Hi Tara. I thought maybe you might want these? (Gives 1x Silkworms)
Tara: Oh, thanks!
 I respect Angus, but is he sure he's got the right person? Doesn't Shelby seem suspicious to you?
Tara: Just because he's different doesn't mean he's a witch.
 Tara: So… did you know? About Marty?
 Could Giva really be a witch? She's so young. I can't imagine her being much of a threat.
Tara: A threat to what?
 This must be so awkward for poor Lina.
Tara: Oh? Why's that?
 I probably shouldn't speak to you. Or anybody. I don't want to be implicated in any lawsuits over my husband's… unfortunate… decisions.
