#### 2 Stars

* “Don't suppose you know how to set a bone, do ya? / It's not so important right now, but someday you might need to know how to do somethin' like that. There's a whole wealth of stuff to be learned out there! / Stay sharp, and always look for ways to educate yourself, (Name).”

* “I think one of the healthiest things we can do in our lives is to take risks. / Are they scary? Sure, but so is everything that's worth while. / The trick is that you gotta believe in yourself every step of the way.”

* “I'm always happy for a spell with anyone who's got the ear for it! / Fair warning though, folks have told that ol' Doc can be a little long-winded, if you know what I mean. / There's never been such a thing as a stranger to me, and that's a promise you can count on! Feel free to stop by and chat any time.”

* “Seems to me like you're the type of cat with a lot of energy. / That's a good thing! Ol' Doc's not energetic as once I was. You better appreciate what you've got!”

* “Sure, I'd be happy to speak with you for a while. Making friends is one of the most important medicines out there. / If you find some good friends that'll treat you right, you've got it made for yourself. That's the best medical advice I can possibly give.”

#### 3 Stars

* “I may not look it now, but ol' Doc used to be a great swimmer. / I'd swim all throughout the Forest Colony. I used to train my muscles over by the Rushing Rocks. I'd weave in and out of those big boulders that block the water's flow. / Sometimes I still dip my paws in the stream that runs through our home here, but it's just not the same.”

* “I think it's high time that cats started realizing that there's life all around them, if they know where to look. / There's so many roots, plants, and trees that get ignored by everybody as they go about their business. But I believe nature's got a whole lot to teach us, if we're listening.”

* “I used to be young and rambunctious like yourself, you know. Used to roam wide and far in search of trouble! / And, of course, I found it all the time. Mind that you don't stray too near to the other domain's homes, now. They're fiercely protective of their land!”

* “(Name), I'm sure you've got a lot going on in your life. But sometimes it's important to just take a step back and slow down. / Stop and smell the roses, you know? It'll do wonders for your perspective. / Took me far too long to learn that little secret about life. Hope you'll pick it up quicker.”

* “When you go out into the forest, make sure you take note of the living things around you. / There's all sorts of trees, for starters, and they've all got different names and features that make them unique. / Then of course there's the bushes and herbs that grow along the ground. Many cats owe their lives to the properties of some of that greenery.”

#### 4 Stars

* “Hope your day's been going as smoothly as mine, (Name). / You ever wake up and just know that it's going to be a great day, but you can't quite place your paw on why? / Well, now that you've shown up, I know why!”

* “I'll bet you go out hunting pretty frequently. / Mind that you respect your prey. That mouse you're pouncing on may be small, but that doesn't mean it won't fight if you back it into a corner!”

* “You know, I enjoy having you around. Seeing you wandering here and there from a distance is really enjoyable for me! / You bring a sort of life, a sort of energy to this domain. I'm glad you're a part of it.”

#### 5 Stars

* “My favorite color's orange, and has been for some time now. When I was little I liked how bright and powerful it was, but now that I'm old I've got another reason. / The bloom of the Marigold is a vibrant shade of orange, and it's from the Marigold that I make a lot of my healing remedies. / So I've made a new association for orange in my mind. Caring for wounded cats and making them feel better? There ain't nothing more beautiful than that.”

* “You know, I’ve talked with Mayor once or twice recently. That cat’s got a real mind for history, if you couldn’t tell, and there’s a lot of history involved with our humble little colony. / Trick is, more often than not there’s some competing stories to explain the same sort of thing. Mayor and I have been trying to piece together what really happened when our group moved out east from where they used to be. / Anyways, if I know you right, (Name), then I know I must be boring you! I’ll let you get on with your business.”

> ***- Doc, After Gift***

>

* “I happened upon a spare item this morning, thought maybe you could use it. / I'd give it to you, but looks like your hands are tied at the moment. Come back later and I'll hand it over.”

> ***- Doc Gift (Full Inventory/Holding Item)***
>
>

* “Thanks, but you should really save some things for yourself, partner! I've already taken too much from you today.”

> ***- Gift Limit***
>
>

> ***- Cancel Healing***
>
>

- “When I was younger, I used to look up at the clouds and pick out what each one looked like. / See that one down on the horizon? That one looks just like you, (Name)!”

> ***- Doc, Cloudy***
>
>

* “You see all this fog? Some cats say this is what it looks like to go blind. / I hope I never have to find out if that's true or not! Wouldn't be so easy to treat my patients if I couldn't see them.”

> ***- Doc, Foggy***
>
>

* “Ain't the sky pretty today? Such a deep blue. It's like the whole world ain't got nothing to worry about on days like these. / I'm glad to share it with cats like you!”

> ***- Doc, Sunny***
>
>

* “Try to stay dry as best as you can today. When the cold rain gets into your skin it can cause all sorts or respiratory problems. / If you have to go out, stay under the trees whenever possible!”

> ***- Doc, Raining***
>
>

* “Glad it's finally warmed up a bit. Seems more and more cats are getting sick when it's cold out. I'm just happy to know that everyone looks to be doing a-ok!”

> ***- Doc, Summer***
>
>

* "Hey, have you seen? The herbs are starting to grow up again all around the forest. That's great news for me and you! / Means more sick cats will get the treatment they need."

> ***- Doc, Spring***
>
>

* "I do love the sun these days. That was a hard winter we went through, and my fur's ready for the warmth again!"

> ***- Doc, Spring/Winter?***
>
>

#### Winter

* “All this snow sure is making it mighty cold here in the forest. I wouldn't mind being a bird and flying away somewhere warm for a spell!”

* “My my, I ain't seen a blizzard this bad since I was a little kitten. / Stay inside if you help it today, (Name). It would do you no good to go out and freeze.”

> ***- Doc, Blizzard***
>
>

* “Sometimes I gather up the snow and use it on a wound to stop the bleeding. It's no fun to gather it up with my paws, though! / But it sure is pretty to watch it fall from the sky, ain't it?”

> ***- Doc, Snow***
>
>

- “I saw so many new plants growing near the temple this year. Perhaps they have healing properties?”

> ***- Doc, Spring***
>
>

* “The festivals are an important time to exchange knowledge with the other colonies' doctors. There's plenty to learn from others!”

> ***- Doc, Summer***
>
>

* “The blackberry bushes are starting to wither. That means there's not too much longer to gather Goldenseal for the winter...”

> ***- Doc, Autumn***
>
>

* “I'm here to see if there's any new sicknesses that have been spreading in the other colonies. That way we can prepare!”

> ***- Doc, Winter***
>
>

* “Let’s all have a good time today. It doesn’t matter who wins or loses.”

>
>

* “Now don’t overexert yourself, ok?”

> ***- Doc, Game Teammate***
>
>

- “Hey (Name), you feeling alright? I can take a look at you if you'd like. / I really do think some medical attention would do you wonders right about now.”

> ***- Doc (Player Low Health)***
>
>

* “Have you been eating right, (Name)? Us cats need a good, regular diet. / Make sure you have plenty of meat in your belly. I worry about you, partner.”

> ***- Doc (Player Low Hunger)***
>
>

- “Hey, partner! I hope you’ve found the Forest Colony hospitable enough during your visit. I certainly don’t mind you bein’ here. / I try not to get too wrapped up in all that colony politics stuff anyway.”

* “How was your trip to the Forest Colony? Hope our guards and fighters didn’t scare you off.”

* “I may be a doctor, but Mayor tells me I can only tend to cats that our colony trusts. There’s other healers in the other colonies that can do what I do for the others, I’m told.”

* “So Sarge let you in? That’s mighty kind. Always feel free to stop by and chat with me if you’re in the area.”
