#### 2 Stars

* “A wise ruler builds strong defences to protect their citizens. / But defences come in more varieties than just walls.”

* “Certain herbs must be split open before they are useful. Others, you can just chew right off the stem. / Make sure you don't ever try to use an herb that you aren't familiar with! Even some plants with healing properties can be toxic if misapplied.”

* “Few cats share my love for healing, but I suppose that gives me great job security.”

* “Thank you for stopping by. I needed someone to discuss my latest ideas with. / What do you think is the meaning of life? As for myself, I think I've found an answer. / To help the hurting, and to mend the broken. What calling could be higher?”

#### 4 Stars

* “As the water assuredly runs from the mountains to the sea, so too it must return to the heights in its time.”

* “It is good to see you, (Name). Your kindness to me is appreciated more than you know.”

* “In my earlier days, I experimented with extracting colorful dyes from all manner of plants. / I figured that if we could just learn to place the dye upon a leaf in a delicate and intricate manner, we could encode all sorts of knowledge upon it. / Perhaps we could even pass on our research and wisdom to further generations? If one knew how to read the leaves, they would be also be able to create their own versions. / But I never discovered a dye, nor a leaf, that was permanent enough. Each would crack or fade with time.”

* “Peace in conversation leads to peace of the mind. / Peace of the mind is contagious. Bring it with you everywhere you go!”

* “Travel is good for the soul. Visiting far away places with different sights and cultures expands the mind. / That is why I am happy to call this colony my home. I am finding that it has enriched my life greatly.”

#### 5 Stars

* “On days like today, there are few patients. Instead of mending wounds, I use these days to study new plants and seek out new cures.”

* “The cats of the far north rarely have friends that are as close as you and I are. / It is a great sadness! I did not know it when I lived there, but now I see what I was missing.”

* “The mind of a wandering cat is often like the sun that hides behind the clouds. / The true nature may poke out like rays through holes in the canopy of the heavens, but it will never be observed directly.”

* “You are no doubt wondering why I came to your colony in the first place, aren't you? / An enigmatic doctor who simply chooses to settle in at an empty den in the middle of a land far from their home? / And yet, some mysteries may never be revealed, no matter how much we wish they were.”

* “You have shown me great kindness, (Name). / After years of considering the nature of kindness, I am finding that I still have much to learn. And you are an expert teacher!”
