* "Good day to you! And a fine day it does seem, would you not agree? Perfect for foraging in the wild-lands. There is a bounty of flora and flowers to collect, if you know where to look. / But you have asked for my name, I do believe! / I must apologize, I have a habit of rambling off on some bumbling tangent of thought. It is something you must get used to, if you are to get used to me at all, haha! / They call me Alabaster. It is delightful to make your acquaintance, (player). / If you are interested in gardening we will get along just fine, I think! I have a hobby of growing herbs and plants of all varieties. / I have a variety of seeds, plant food, and recipes for sale. I'd love to talk more about gardening anytime. / Well, in any case, I've likely taken more of your time than I intended. It's been lovely to meet you, (player)."

* "A shadow falls upon my heart when you approach, (Player). It cautions me not to get involved in your affairs. Only trouble that way lies."

* "There is no better way to spend one's time than by speaking with a stranger. When we talk to someone we do not know, we increase our capacity for empathy and gain fascinating insight into the world around us. / We have more in common with all other cats than you might think at first glance! / So now you must tell me a story, (Player). Something that will open my eyes to a new perspective. I will listen as best I can and try to hear the meaning behind your words.",
* "I am glad to speak with you, (Player). It must be difficult to be (title). Tell me, stranger, what it is like to walk a mile in your paws? / As for myself, my life is easy and my days are joyful. After all, my needs are met by the exceptional cats of our (colony)! When I go out to gather herbs in the wilds, I do it with a full heart, knowing that my contribution to our community stretches further than I could ever realize."
* "There are many tales which cats have passed down for centuries. I wonder how they have become twisted with time? Certainly there must be some level of overstatement or exaggeration in each of them. / How can we know for sure what is truth and what is myth? We must use our brains in conjunction with our hearts to judge what we hear."
* "I am humbled to speak with you, (Player). I recognize that you have a great destiny ahead of you, and indeed behind you as well. I had heard of your deeds before I ever ventured out to the Wildwood in search of your lands. / Why else would I have come, if not for the promise of a better life under the wise guidance of a strong and venerable (title)? / It is no good to leave your life unexamined. At every crossroads, one must ask oneself: Will the choice I make now affect my future, and will it be for the better or not? / Of course, there is some level of risk with any choice. My decision to leave the comforts of my homelands and move to this strange frontier was fraught with possible dangers on all sides, but I came nonetheless."
* "There are so many cats here! Back home, I was not surrounded by such a large group. / It is a good thing, of course, but the adjustment will take me some time to get used to. It is why I enjoy going out in the wilds to search for herbs. I get a little alone time with my thoughts, away from the hustle and bustle of the village!"

* "What a day to be alive! Revel in the joys that each day brings, (Player). / I asked a budding Goldenseal plant how it was feeling this morning. From the radiant shine on its green, leafy petals, I could assume it would reply that it is doing just fine. / It has no cares as it sits in the sun, waving with the breeze. We all could learn a thing or two from that Goldenseal plant.",
* "You are something of an explorer, are you not, (Player)? I cannot imagine how a cat could pick up and move to the middle of a wilderness like this unless that were the case. / It takes a certain strength of spirit to venture headfirst into the unknown without fear. You possess a unique talent for discovery and a love of questing that is unmatched in all the cats I have met. / After all, you range wide and far from home often, it seems. Does that not align with what I have just told you?",
* "Sometimes I enjoy the company of growing things more than the company of other cats. The flowers of the field do not complain or whimper or cry. They do not fight or rip or tear. They are content to simply be. / If only every cat could follow their example. What it would be like to improve the world with undeniable beauty, but ask for nothing in return! I can only imagine.",
* "You are a deep well of knowledge, (Player). As I get to know you, I am perpetually fascinated by the stories you carry with you. / Talking to you is like peeling back layer upon layer of information and history. There is always something new to be uncovered! / How curious and intriguing. One day, I will get to the bottom of it all!",
* "I have many friends in this world. I know them by name. Goldenseal and Peppermint and Lavender. The fruits of the soil, which sprout forth in vibrant waves of color and sights and smells. / I am comforted in their presence, and I consider myself a caretaker of their well-being. With love and tenderness, all living things are improved."

* "Fierce in a fight, yet fast in friendship. That's how I would describe you, (Player). You have shown me support and friendship and no small deal of kindness. / I wonder how you would describe me?"
* "When I was a kitten, my littermates teased me for my strange, pale eyes. I was ashamed of them for many years, because they do not look the same as the eyes of the cats I knew. / With many years of effort, I've come to terms with the fact that my eyes are a part of what makes me special. I am unique and I am valuable. Even my eyes.",
* "We cats are not the only creatures that seek out various plants for their multitude of useful properties. I caught a Rat snacking on an herb out in the woods, and I dispatched of the rodent as quickly as I could. / A word of advice, if you ever tangle with a Rat. Mind the teeth! Rats are often infected with various diseases and are thusly poisonous to us cats. Take some Honeycomb or Marigold with you to be extra safe."
* "I am glad we have gotten to know each other, (Player). I had feared that our difference in social standing would keep you at a metaphorical arms-length, but you are more down to earth than I originally gave you credit for. / Not every (title) is as personable as you, (Player). It is part of what makes living here so enjoyable for me. Thank you.",
* "You have ranged far and wide in your travels, (Player). And you seem to always be carrying things of the strangest sort. Some day I must ask that you show me the odd and wonderful curios you collect when you go adventuring."

* "I once said that there is no better way to spend your time than by talking with a stranger. As it turns out, I was incorrect. There is one better way to spend one's time: Talking with a good friend. / How enriching a simple conversation can be!",
* "Be mindful of your health, (Player). I have seen too many cats let stress and busyness cloud their judgement when it comes time to take care of themselves. / Be certain that you set aside time everyday for leisure and self-improvement. You will be better off in the long run if you heed this advice."
* "If you ever have need of something from me, I would be happy to oblige. You are my friend, (Player), and I support you wholeheartedly. / I do not like to see my friends in need. And why should I be stingy, when I have been blessed with so much?"
* "I am beyond blessed. I have everything I could ever need. When you work hard towards your goals, you may find that you can say the same some day. / For me, my goals were easy to achieve, because I intentionally set them lower than most. Besides a den, a community, and a few things to call my own, what else could I possibly want?",
* "Have you ever sat on the riverbank and watched the water roll by? I often make the trek to the water to do so. There is nothing else like water in all of nature. / It can be full of peace, life, and abundance when you view it on a warm summer day. Or, it can be a herald of woe and a bringer of destruction when it is observed in a storm. How marvelous water can be."

#### 1 Heart

* "I am so grateful to have met you, (Player). There are many joys in my life, but the greatest at the moment is our relationship. I am excited to see how things progress between the two of us. / We need not think too long and hard about the future! What matters is the present. We have each other for the moment, and that is enough. Revel in the day that we are living before tending to the unknown."
* "Do you know why I smile? I'd wager a bet that you can guess it easily. / I'll give you a hint... it's because you are here. / Oh no, I've given away the answer! That was no hint after all. Hrm. I will need to think up a new riddle for you now."
* "How do you do it, (Player)? You always have the best ideas. I'm certain that you have a date or adventure in mind. I can tell from your smile. / You must tell me what you are plotting! You cannot leave poor **Alabaster** in the dark!"
* "I have gone through many trials. My past is dotted with bleak times and hard circumstances. I do not talk about them openly to anyone. / The reason I keep these things to myself is that I choose to not dwell on them. What has happened has happened, and cannot be changed. However, I have control over how I respond today and how I will respond tomorrow. That is what matters most to me."
* "I am having trouble thinking up a name for you, (Player). You see, (Player) is a fine name, but it is not fitting for you. You are kind and wise and gentle and caring. (Player) does not capture the full picture, you see. / I will think of a word that can describe you sooner or later! It is a difficult task. Much more difficult than I imagined when I set out on this mission. / I have never been one to struggle with words. How ironic this situation is!"

#### 2 Hearts

* "Your presence reassures me that you have your priorities aligned well. We cannot always be off at war or working in the mines. We must make time for the more important, finer things in life. / Things like a good meal, a hearty laugh, a fruitful conversation. Time for love and time for peace and time for gentle conversation set to the tune of a delicate breeze. / You may call me a romantic or soft-hearted, but it will not change my deeply held conviction. This world was not made for toiling or fighting our lives away."
* "I am taking a break. In fact, I have taken the entire day off of my duties. There are far too many experiences available to us to devote our entire lives to labor in the fields. / Come, be merry with me! Sing a song and dance among the wildflowers and whistle a jolly tune of love and adventure. It is no bad thing to play the day away, and it is certainly not a waste. / Of course, you cannot spend all your days like so. Labor has its purpose, and it should be respected and honored for what it can provide. Everything must be done in its proper time and in its proper way."
* "It is not often that I get the chance to speak so freely as I do when you are near. Not every cat appreciates my attitudes nor listens with so attentive an ear as you. / To be fully transparent, I find it rather attractive. It is, perhaps, your finest trait. You have the heart of a listener. / You could not be dating me if it were not so! I'm sure I would have run you off long ago if you were not prepared or equipped for listening at length to all manner of things."
* "I often whistle a tune while I am out searching for flowers. This practice is not common, because it scares away prey. I do not care who hears, so I whistle as loud as I feel. Flowers and herbs do not scare so easily. / The tune is one I made myself. Some days, I refine it or add to it. It has grown quite lengthy. / Perhaps one day I will sing it for you? Then you can judge its merit!"
* "At night, I go to bed with a full heart, feeling completely at peace with the world. Perhaps this is what many cats experience every day, but it is still fresh and exciting to me. / I wake up rejuvenated and delighted to start the day! There are so many things I wish to do! The future, shrouded in all its mystery, seems to only hold good paths for me."

* "I would like to redecorate my den today. Perhaps I will move my herbs to the other side of the den to open up room for a new window. / There is nothing like rearranging your living space when it comes to feeling like a new cat! It somehow opens the mind to new possibilities in a way that seems impossible until you give it a try. / Of course, your den is quite stylish already, (Player). I am not suggesting you need to rearrange anything, but if you get in the mood for a new style, try it out. You may be surprised how much you like it after you're done!"
* "Did you happen to catch the sunset yesterday night? How glorious it was! Like a giant ball of fire descending swiftly below the horizon. Then, the whole world was engulfed in peaceful silence and shadow. / It filled my heart with a great longing, though I do not know what for. My mind has been wandering all morning, searching for the meaning of it. It's like when you wake up mid-way through a dream and cannot remember what you dreamt of. / How frustrating it is to be unable to find the answer!"
* "Perhaps I'll take a nap. It seems as good a time as any to doze off. Unless you had something in mind, (Player)? / If not, you're welcome to join me. Fair warning, I do snore a bit. Oh, and sometimes I sneeze in my sleep. / I should not have told you that! I do not know why I said that. Sorry, you can ignore me."
* "I was just about to pick a beautiful Foxglove bloom, when all of a sudden Spark came sprinting through the area and trampled my poor Foxglove plant into the ground! Tore it to pieces and absolutely ruined it. / Maybe you can talk some sense into them, (Player). As you know, it is not often that I get flustered like this. Given enough time, I'm sure I will calm down and come to forgive Spark. / But it is ever so difficult to convince myself right now!"
* "Have you ever stumbled upon a wild beehive, (Player)? Many cats fear them, but I do not believe this is wise. / To my parents, the Bees were the tenders of the gardens of the world. It is said that the humble Bee goes to great lengths to spread beautiful, colorful flowers all across the lands for everyone to enjoy. What do you think of that, (Player)? / I believe it is a lesson that even the smallest among us have a part to play in the story of the world. And that even the smallest among us must not be overlooked, lest a 'sharp' reminder be given to the one who does the overlooking! Ha!"

* "I had a dream last night that we were off together, living in some lonely cave far away from everyone else. It was strange because, although we were completely alone, I felt safe and happy knowing you were by my side."
* "I am a simple cat, (Player). There are not many things that I need in order to be content. / However, there is one thing that I would not mind having... Can you guess what that may be? / I will leave it as a mystery for you to solve. Ha ha!"
* "I am nearly brought to tears when I think of all the blessings that I have. It is necessary to be grateful for the luxuries you have, lest you forget that they were hard-won. / I hope I never lose this feeling of appreciation I have. It is a humbling emotion, and very good to experience from time to time."
* "Would you like to go on a walk? I find that getting some fresh air out in the woods is helpful for processing my thoughts. Forward motion in the body somehow encourages forward motion in the mind, it seems."
* "Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a bird? To fly free in the sky, away from the troubles of the world below? / They do not seem to care for our petty cat politics. They are in a world apart, fluttering from branch to branch and tree to tree without a second thought. / It is sad to see them brought low by a hungry feline. I think they deserve better than that, don't you? We should respect them for the way they grace our skies and remind us that even to the most powerful of cats, there are things beyond our reach. / I find that oddly comforting."

* "A bigger den means more cleaning to do. I am not used to caring for so large a space, and your den is generously proportioned. / Not that I am complaining! When there are twice as many paws to do the work, it goes more than twice as fast."
* "I heard the birds chirping outside the den and I could not help myself but join them in their song. / Of course, that scared them all off, and then I was left alone singing all by myself. / Maybe you can pick up where they left off? My heart is so happy it cannot be contained, and it overflows into song!"
* "Do you feel that gentle breeze? Where do you think it comes from? / It has no beginning and no ending, and nothing can stop it in its path. I don't think the wind cares about all the little problems and politics of cats. It's very inspiring."
* "Tomorrow I might head out to look for some flowers for the den. Do you have any in particular you'd like me to collect? Otherwise I'll try to just get a bunch of different ones. / The best flower arrangements display a mastery of contrast and color. But you must avoid the foul-smelling flowers! Marigold looks pretty, but if you touch it, you'll unleash a putrid scent."
* "Do you remember when you gave me that Red Rose? I did my best to keep it alive for as long as I could. I fetched fresh water in a bowl made of leaves every day for its stem and plucked and pruned it when it needed to be patched up. / It made it for quite a while, but one day the decay set in and it died, despite my best efforts. / I think that is the fate of all living things, sad as it is. We must have the wisdom to be able to let them go when their time here is done. / Lucky for me, our love isn't tied to that flower. It was just a symbol anyways. I still have you, and I'm grateful for that every morning when I wake up!"

* "I don't know if I've ever told you this, but I tried Stoat once and I really liked the taste. They're tricky to find and trickier to deal with, but if you ever see one, make sure you save a bite for me, OK? / If you haven't tried it, you're in for a real treat!"
* "It took me some time, but I'm finally starting to settle in after the move. I didn't sleep very well for a while, but last night I slept like a rock. / New experiences sometimes take some time to get used to. Maybe I take more time to adjust than most, I don't know."
* "You lead a dangerous life, (Player). Not only is it risky business leading (colony), but it's also dangerous because you seem to always be getting into fights. / I'm very proud of you for facing the challenges ahead of you with such gusto! Someone needs to protect the borders so that the rest of us can sleep peacefully. You are a great inspiration to everyone who lives here, (Player). I am sure of it."
* "I had a dream the other night. It was one of those long-winding, constantly changing sorts of dreams that only happen once in a while. / I was running through a dimly-lit forest full of bugs and glowing eyes, looking for shelter and ducking under low-hanging branches as I ran. / Right when I thought I was caught by a ferocious creature that I could not see, I woke up. And I was in the den, and you were there next to me. / I felt better in an instant. Thanks, (Player)."
* "I knew when we first met that you were a special cat. Something told me we would end up being good friends, and I think I may have remarked something of the sort to you then. / Fortunately, my intuition was correct! Here we are, married and everything. It's funny how that gut feeling can happen and end up being true. I wonder what it means?"

* "Perhaps I will venture down to the wetlands tomorrow. There are several plants that thrive in those bog-like conditions that you will not find elsewhere. / Plus, as an added bonus, you sometimes happen across a Frog or a Lizard for lunch. Yummy! So salty and crunchy and sweet. / My mouth is watering just thinking about it!"
* "I wish we had some of the flowers from our wedding around still. I know that they must have wilted long ago, but I can still remember them each in my mind. / Such beautiful blooms and delicate petals! It would be fun to try to recreate the arrangements. Maybe that's what I'll do today."
* "**Alabaster** and (Player). What a lovely phrase. Rolls right off the tongue, wouldn't you say? / It is no coincidence that we met. I believe there was a hand guiding our fates. There is no chance that this all happened by accident. Perhaps it was Forest Guardian, or someone like them."
* "I was taught from a young age that relationships are hard work. There is a lot of wisdom in that teaching. A good relationship cannot spring from nothing. It involves a great effort from both parties in order to make it a success. / I am glad that we both are doing our part to make the other feel special. I know how hard you work to make me happy, and I am so proud of you for it. / I only hope I can return the favor. I know I'm trying to!"

* "Do you know how I feel about you? I truly love you, (Player). I know I've told you before, but it's important to tell those you love often how you care about them so that they do not ever forget it. / And I know that you love me too. We have grown so much together as a couple. It is hard to remember what it was like to be single and solo."
* "You know, if you ever want to know more about the plants that grow out in the wild, I would be happy to give you a lesson. And not just the herbs! There are also trees and bushes and grasses that deserve to be known. / It took me several years to learn how to tell them all apart, and there are some growing around here that I have yet to determine what they may be. But for the most part, I've got it figured out. / You don't have to entertain me if you don't want to. I know I get more passionate about this stuff than most. I'm just extra excited about it today because I just stumbled across a new one I hadn't seen before."
* "I still remember what it was like when you first approached me with that Red Rose. I thought it would never happen, but I was hoping against hope that it would. / I may not have shown it at the time, but I was quite surprised to see you standing there with that flower held out for me. It was as though time stopped, and we were left staring into each others eyes, full of fear for what this might mean, but also excitement. / I am so glad that I said 'yes' to you that day. You changed my life when you picked me, (Player). I will never forget that."
* "Cats aren't much different than plants, you know. We all need to be nurtured and checked on daily. Our needs aren't really all that mysterious either. / Things get complicated when cats start hiding their emotions and intentions. If we were all as open and honest as you and I, the world would be a better place. / We could all learn a thing or two from things that grow."
* "I know it's been a while since we started our relationship, but I still get swept away when I see you walk by. It's a complicated mix of love and desire and passion. / Oh, that's very embarrassing. Perhaps even cheesy. Sorry, I should have kept that to myself!"

* "I still to this day can't believe how lucky I am that Fliss said 'yes' to marrying me. / That was the best day of my life."

* Fliss is as elegant as a flower. And our love continues to blossom and grow. / I wish the same love will in your life, (player).

* "You do not have enough mews on hand to purchase that. I simply cannot go any lower on the price. My apologies, (player)."

* "Oh, you want advice on gardening...? Ok, I guess... / You need seeds, obviously. Plant those in the ground and take care of them... / If you can prove that you can take care of your plants, they should grow up healthy... I have my doubts, though. / That's about it. Can I go now?"

> ***- Gardening advice (0 stars)***

* "I'd be happy to give some advice on gardening! It's my favorite hobby, after all. / First, get some seeds. You can make seeds by processing herbs if you have the appropriate recipe available. Higher quality herbs will generate more seeds per plant, so keep that in mind. / Then, take the seeds to the garden plot and plant them. You can plant any seed in any season there. That's some first-rate soil! / Make sure you return every single day to take care of the garden. Each plant should be given plant food and cleared of weeds daily in order to ensure maximum growth potential. / After several days, your plant will be ready for harvesting! If you took good care of it, you'll either reap a higher quality result or a quicker harvest. / Talk to me anytime to purchase the necessary ingredients and process fresh herbs into seeds. Happy gardening, (player)!"

* "Hey, surely you know how to garden by now, right? / After all, you treat me so well, I can only imagine that you treat your garden the same way. Constant daily affection goes a long way with both cats and plants. / But if you really want my advice, I'd say to first make seeds by processing fresh herbs. The higher the quality herb, the more seeds it will produce. / Then, plant those seeds at the garden. You can plant any seed in any season there. That's some first-rate soil! / Make sure you tend to your new plant daily by fertilizing it and clearing it of weeds. / After several days, it should sprout into a beautiful herb or flower, ready for harvesting! If you took good care of it, either the quality will increase or the time to harvest will be shortened. / Of course, you know I'd love to help you get the items you need. I can sell you recipes and plant food and help you process plants into seeds."

Regardless, it was worth it to see the look on your face. / I see my gift has had its intended effect on you. Most excellent!"

* "My guess is that you had this (item) laying around without a purpose and put no thought into the recipient before gifting it.

#### ***After Completing Main Story (Spoilers)***

* "I feel as though a great burden upon my soul has been lifted. The very air seems lighter. Colors seem brighter. / Can it be? Is the Wildwood healed at long last? It has been steeped in corruption and darkness for far too long."

> ***- Alabaster***
>
>

* "Isn't this fun? The clouds have come down to earth to say hello to us cat-folk. It's not every day that you get to touch a cloud. / I guess it doesn't concern me as much as it might concern other cats because my work is largely unaffected. Plants don't move or scare easily, and I find them by scent anyways so I don't really rely on my eyesight as much as you might think."

> ***- Alabaster, Foggy***
>
>

* "On days like these, it's hard to think about work. You just want to stretch out in the sun and soak it all in. / Can I tell you a secret? Sometimes I do just that. I take the day off when the weather is nice and I'm not feeling mentally prepared for work. I know that's not what most cats do, but it's helped me tremendously. Might be worth trying for yourself!"

> ***- Alabaster, Sunny***
>
>

* "Herbs are abundant this time of year. It's the best possible time for gathering, if that's your sort of thing. I try to make a trip out into the wilderness every day to collect some fresh flora for my collection. / You never know when some Peppermint or Goldenseal will be necessary! Very handy in a pinch, both of those are. You should spend some time getting to know all the different types of plants so that you will be ready for anything."

> ""-Alabaster, Sunny""

* "Cheer up! A little rain never hurt anybody. It's great for washing out your fur, too. I think the rain is nature's way of resetting the world and keeping it clean and orderly. / Plus, without the rain, we wouldn't have flowers to smell or berries to eat! It's important to practice a spirit of gratitude towards things like rain."

> ***- Alabaster, Raining***

* "There's so much static in the air, my fur is standing on end! I wish this lightning would stop and never come back. It's hard to think or sleep when the sky is at war like this."

#### Winter

* "It's been a hard winter already, and this blizzard is only multiplying its difficulties. We should both make it a point to check in with everyone else when the snow stops falling. These sorts of days can wreak havoc on cats who were caught unprepared. / I would hate to see my (colony\_title)-mates struggling in this bitter cold! I'll help any way I can."

> ***- Alabaster, Blizzard***

* "I don't remember the last time my toes got so cold. It feels as though they'll never get warm ever again. / Of course, I know that's not true. I'm being dramatic, this is all a normal part of the cycles of the world. It's hard to appreciate the warmth of summer if you haven't lived in the cold."

#### Spring

* "When I see everyone getting along so nicely, it makes my heart swell with hope. The world can be a bright and cheery place when we make it so. / Did you notice the flower arrangements? That's my handiwork this year. I am very proud of what I was able to come up with when Coco requested my help. / And mind you, if you get the chance, they smell just as good as they look! There's nothing quite like fresh flowers for brightening up a place."

* "It's one thing to go on dates in private, and it's another entirely to bring your date to a public event! I feel as though every eye of every cat is watching us, (Player). / Let them stare! I am so happy and proud to be dating you, (Player)."

> ***- Alabaster, Dating***
>
>

* "It's obvious most other days, but especially when we are all gathered together as a (colony\_title) on days like today. We are the envy of all, (Player)! / Not that I care for status and fame and social standing. But I do like that you are looked up to, (Player). You are an excellent example to all, and I'm so very proud of you."

> ***- Alabaster, Married***

#### Summer

* "Today is the last day to gather certain summer-plants in the wild. It is always sad to me when I must say goodbye. It is like saying farewell to an old friend, full of bittersweet memories. / It makes it all the happier when they return next year. Life, after all, is an endless series of cycles. We must learn to be at peace with each cycle and in every season."

> ***- Alabaster***
>
>

* "The warmth of the summer sun is nothing compared to the warmth I feel around you, (Player). How fortunate we are to have each other as the days grow colder. / Let's hold each other tightly and never forget the summer-days of our early love."

> ***- Alabaster, Dating***

* "I thought about taking a nap at the den and skipping this year's festivities, but I'm glad I convinced myself otherwise. It is such a beautiful day for a festival. I'm glad to spend it with you, (Player)."

> ***- Alabaster, Married***

#### Autumn

* "When I was a kitten, I used to love this time of the year. There's something very wholesome about the way that some cats get all into the spirit of harvest-time. Nothing else quite compares to seeing the joy on their faces."

> ***- Alabaster***
>
>

* How cold the wind is today, (Player)! All the more reason to get nice and close, wouldn't you agree? You are always warmer than me."

> ***- Alabaster, Dating***

* "Win me some Festival Tokens, (Player)! The prize booth has some things that I really want for the den. If you get the chance, you should pick something up. Surprise me!."

#### Winter

* "Are you ready to ring in the new year, (Player)? It has certainly been an eventful year for me, and I'm sure it was for you as well. Where will the next one take you?"

> ***- Alabaster***

* "I've been told that the snow matches my eyes. What do you think, (Player)? Is that true?"

> ***- Alabaster, Dating***

>

* "My nose is so chilly! I might head back to the den in a little bit. You're welcome to come with me. Together we can warm it up and get settled in for a long, cold night. Doesn't that sound cozy, (Player)?"
