First Meeting[]
| FIRST MEETING | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Howdy! Lemme guess, you're Frank's relative? I can see a little of him in you. |
| |
|
I'm Brad. I run the town restaurant with my wife, Carrie, and my grandpa. Come on by whenever you're feeling hungry, y'hear? It's good to meet you, [Player]! |
| |
Long Interval[]
| LONG INTERVAL | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Howdy, [Player]! It's been a while. How's everything going for you? Same old, same old? I was just talking to Carrie about how it's been forever since I last saw you. Good to hear you're doing well. |
| |
| PLAYER_DOWN | ||
|---|---|---|
|
[Player], I heard! You collapsed yesterday, right? Listen, I know you have a lot of work to do, but it's important to rest. We were all worried about you, you know. Be sure to get extra rest today, okay? |
| |
Town Upgrade[]
| BRIDGE | ||
|---|---|---|
|
I'm glad the bridge is all fixed up. It always seemed a little rickety before. |
| |
|
Now, if that convinces more folks to wander on over this way and visit my restaurant, everything will be perfect! |
| |
| BELL | ||
|---|---|---|
|
When the bell tower was finally done, and the bell rang for the first time, I saw Grandpa crying for joy. |
| |
|
He must've been waiting to hear that bell for a long, long time. |
| |
|
Thanks, [Player], for giving that to my grandpa. |
| |
| BRONZE_STATUE | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Wow! You saw the buffalo statue, right? Who knew it could shine like that?! |
| |
| GODDESS_STATUE | ||
|---|---|---|
|
When I saw that goddess statue, for some reason, I was struck by the impression that she liked strawberries. |
| |
|
Weird, huh? Maybe that was some divine commandment that I make some strawberry sweets for an offering. Ha ha ha! |
| |
Collaboration[]
| TOWN_COLLABO_A_RESTAURANT_00 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Howdy, [Player]! The candied sweet potato recipe we worked on is a hit! I keep making more and more of 'em, but I can barely keep up with the demand! |
| |
| TOWN_COLLABO_A_RESTAURANT_01 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Oh! If it isn't [Player]! Looks like you and Grandpa hit it out of the park again with that collaboration! Everyone says they just can't get enough of the flaky crust and the tart-sweet taste of the dried fruit. |
| |
| TOWN_COLLABO_A_PERFUME | ||
|---|---|---|
|
When you run a restaurant, you can't exactly wear cologne during work hours. You may think it smells good, but who knows how the smell will affect the scent of the food you're cooking? |
| |
Weather/Sesonal[]
| SUNNY_SPRING | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Beautiful day out, isn't it, [Player]? With all the pretty flowers around, maybe I should use some to add some color to my dish presentations? |
| |
| RAIN_SPRING | ||
|---|---|---|
|
I don't really mind rain itself. It's just that rainy days usually mean fewer customers. There's nothing as dreary as an empty restaurant. |
| |
| SNOW_SPRING | ||
|---|---|---|
|
You're sure a bundle of energy, even though it's snowing. There are a lot of stairs in this town, so be careful not to slip and fall, okay? |
| |
| SUNNY_SUMMER | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Daytime may be real darn hot, but I like how refreshing summer mornings can be. Noon, though? Yeah, I'm not going outside then. |
| |
| RAIN_SUMMER | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Even with the rain, it's still darn hot out. Maybe I'll go practice some new iced juice recipes. |
| |
| SNOW_SUMMER | ||
|---|---|---|
|
You're sure a bundle of energy, even though it's snowing. There are a lot of stairs in this town, so be careful not to slip and fall, okay? |
| |
| SUNNY_AUTUMN | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Food just tastes better in the fall. There's so much that's freshly ripe. On nice days, I'll go out foraging for wild berries and veggies. |
| |
| RAIN_AUTUMN | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Fall rains can get a little chilly. Around this time of year, customers start ordering more hot drinks and dishes. |
| |
| SNOW_AUTUMN | ||
|---|---|---|
|
You're sure a bundle of energy, even though it's snowing. There are a lot of stairs in this town, so be careful not to slip and fall, okay? |
| |
| SUNNY_WINTER | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Howdy, [Player]. Real cold out again, isn't it? I don't mind, though. Unlike in summer, food doesn't go bad as fast in the winter. |
| |
| RAIN_WINTER | ||
|---|---|---|
|
It gets even colder when it rains. I get a lot more orders for hot dishes and drinks, too. |
| |
| SNOW_WINTER | ||
|---|---|---|
|
You're sure a bundle of energy, even though it's snowing. There are a lot of stairs in this town, so be careful not to slip and fall, okay? |
| |
| TYPHOON | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Whoa, whoa! I appreciate the visit, but you sure could've picked a better day for it! It's getting dangerous out there! We're glad to have you, though, so how about you sit back and wait here until this mess blows over? |
| |
| HEAVYSNOW | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Whoa, whoa! I appreciate the visit, but you sure could've picked a better day for it! It's practically whiteout conditions out there. We're glad to have you, though, so how about you sit back and warm up until this mess blows over? |
| |
Time[]
| MORNING_TALK_00 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
G'morning, [Player]! You're up and about awful early today. I guess that's the farmer's life, though! |
| |
| MORNING_TALK_01 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
We open up a little before noon. If you start feeling nibbly, feel free to come on over and grab a bite. |
| |
|
For you, I'll knock down the price...a little. |
| |
| WOMAN_MORNING_TALK_00 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
G'morning, [Player]! You're up and about awful early today. Good to see you've got so much energy. |
| |
| WOMAN_MORNING_TALK_01 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
We open up a little before noon. We have lots of light dishes on the menu, so if you're feeling hungry, stop on by, y'hear? |
| |
| MAN_AFTERNOON_TALK_00 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Have you had lunch yet? If you've still got work to do, now's a good time to rest, eat a solid meal, and get your stamina back. |
| |
| MAN_AFTERNOON_TALK_01 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Taking a break from your chores for today? Good. Everyone needs a bit of rest now and then. |
| |

| |
| MAN_EVENING_TALK_00 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Well, that's another day in the books! Time to kick back and relax for the night. |
| |
| MAN_EVENING_TALK_01 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Done with work for the day? Take care on your way home. Make sure you get some good sleep tonight, too. Rest is important. |

| |
| WOMAN_EVENING_TALK_01 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Done with work for the day? Take care on your way home, okay? Don't go wandering around in the dark. It's peaceful around here, but Frank will still worry! |
| |
Greeting[]
| GREETING_WEEKDAYS_0 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Stopping by for something to eat? I'm glad to hear that, but we're still prepping for the day. Could you wait until we open? |
| |
| GREETING_WEEKDAYS_1 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Howdy, [Player]! Another day safely done and in the books, eh? |
| |
| GREETING_WEEKDAYS_2 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Howdy, [Player]! How're you doing? |
| |
Feeling[]
| FEELING_GOOD_TALK_00 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Hum dumm dummm! Oh, howdy, [Player]! I'm in a great mood today! I've been feelin' awake and full of energy ever since I got up! |
| |
| FEELING_GOOD_TALK_01 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
I just had a great new recipe idea pop up into my mind out of nowhere. I should go and try it out! |
| |
| FEELING_TIRED_TALK_00 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Oof... My eyes feel heavy today. I guess even I can have an off day or two. |
| |
| FEELING_TIRED_TALK_01 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Urk! Boy, did I make a huge mistake! I accidentally ate something Carrie cooked. Now my stomach is...urp! Not too happy! Maybe I should go see Ford... |
| |
| MAN_CHANGE_FEELING_GOOD | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Y'know? Talking to you has really cheered me up. Thanks! You're like a walking pick-me-up. I mean that as a compliment. Honest! |
| |
| WOMAN_CHANGE_FEELING_GOOD | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Y'know? Talking to you has really cheered me up. Thanks! |
| |
| MAN_CHANGE_FEELING_BAD | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Uuugh... I just can't seem to get going today. Maybe I'll go talk with Carrie and see if she can't share some of her energy with me? |
| |
| WOMAN_CHANGE_FEELING_BAD | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Uuugh... I'm sorry. It isn't right for a guy to look down in the dumps around a lady, is it? I think I'll ask Carrie to cheer me up. |
| |
Today[]
| TODAY_GODDESS | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Today's the Goddess Festival. Carrie and I are helping with the setup. Every year, I worry if the pizza is going to come out right! |
| |
| TODAY_GAME | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Today's the Trilympics. I look forward to competing in them every year. This time, I'm gonna take first place! |
| |
| TODAY_DRINK | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Today's the Beverage Bash, [Player]. I always look forward to seeing what kind of ingredients the farmers bring. |
| |
| MAN_TODAY_FRIENDSHIP | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Howdy! Tonight's the Starlight Gala. You'll be joining in, right? |
| |
|
I'm sure everybody would love to see you! |
| |
| WOMAN_TODAY_FRIENDSHIP | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Howdy! Tonight's the Starlight Gala. If you're interested in stargazing, you can't miss it! |
| |
| TODAY_NEW_YEAR | ||
|---|---|---|
|
New Year's Day is here! If you haven't decided yet, how about you participate in Westown's festival? I'm putting together the best munchies for the celebration tonight. The fireworks show is gonna be great, too! |
| |
| TODAY_FLOWER_FESTIVAL | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Today's the Flower Fair, right? Don't worry. I do have a flower for you. You do a lot for us here, y'know. Here you go! One flower of thanks. I look forward to being friends with you for a long time yet, [Player]. |
| |
Campaign[]
| CAMPAIGN_GODDESS_00 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Goddess Festival donations? Hoo, boy. You let Megan get ahold of you--URK! I didn't say anything. Right? Nothing at all. Anyway, how much to donate this year...? |
| |
| CAMPAIGN_GODDESS_01 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
C'mon, [Player]! Of course I'm gonna splurge this year! Why wouldn't I? Here ya go! |
| |
| CAMPAIGN_GODDESS_02 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Urk! Sorry, [Player]. I know it's pathetic, but funds are kinda tight right now. I can only give this much. |
| |
Map[]
| MAP_WESTOWN_00 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Out for a walk, [Player]? There are lots of staircases around here, so watch your step. It wouldn't do for you to trip and fall. |
| |
| MAP_WESTOWN_01 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Sometimes when I head outside, I'll see a gaggle of girls around Wayne's post office. |
| |
|
Makes you wonder what kind of shop they think it is! I wish he'd send them over to my restaurant. |
| |
| MAP_WESTOWN_02 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
I played around here a lot as a kid when I visited Grandpa. I'd go swimming in the river, catch all kinds of bugs along the shore. Then I'd go use those bugs in pranks and get yelled at by Megan! |
| |
| MAP_WESTOWN_03 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
I slipped and fell into the river not that long ago. |
| |
|
This river is a lot deeper than you'd think, so it's easy to almost drown. I'm speaking from experience, so be careful, okay? |
| |
| MAP_SHOOTING_STAR | ||
|---|---|---|
|
When I was a kid, every time I spotted a shooting star, I'd wish that someday, I'd be able to marry Carrie. Now that the wish has come true, I can't think of anything else I'd want to wish for! |
| |
| MAP_WINDMILL | ||
|---|---|---|
|
I made the mistake of mentioning how this windmill just seems to keep turning and turning around to Ford the other day. He went on this long-winded spiel about how windmills work. Me, I'm happy just watching 'em! |
| |
| MAP_MILKY_WAY | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Shooting stars are beautiful, but there's just a different sort of elegance to the Milky Way. Carrie loves to look up at it. |
| |
| MAP_SNOWMAN | ||
|---|---|---|
|
A snowman... |
| |
|
Ah! Hey, [Player]! What do you think about a cake in the shape of a snowman? Do you think the customers would like it? |
| |
| MAP_TREE | ||
|---|---|---|
|
That tree's one of the best parts of this town come wintertime. You don't usually find them that big. Lots of visitors come to see it! |
| |
| MAP_MY_HOUSE_00 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
The interior of this restaurant has stayed the same since my grandpa first opened it up. |
| |
|
It looks a little worn in places, yeah, but I like it this way. |
| |
| MAP_MY_HOUSE_01 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
We display Grandpa's fishing gear and Carrie's lamp collection here. Don't they look nice all lined up? |
| |
Schedule[]
| SCHEDULE_SHOP_OPEN | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Welcome, [Player]! What can I get started for you? |
| |
| SCHEDULE_SHOP_FREETALK_00 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
We get a lot more customers on days that Miranda comes and sings for us. We really appreciate that. |
| |
| SCHEDULE_SHOP_FREETALK_01 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Lots of the dishes on our menu are straight out of Grandpa's recipe book. They have that "old-timey" taste to them. I'm honored that I get to make them now. |
| |
| SCHEDULE_SHOP_FREETALK_02 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Isn't Carrie the cutest? Even Frank says the whole restaurant lights up when she comes in the room. |
| |
| SCHEDULE_SHOP_SLEEP | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Carrie...this person is lost...and there's a puppy...to rescue...and a kitten stuck in a tree... |
||
Meal[]
| Meal | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Sorry, [Player]. I'm in the middle of eating right now. Could you come back later? |
| |
| MEAL_WITH_00 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Oh! I know. If you're hungry, how about you join me? You may not have heard, but I'm a pretty good cook, y'know! |
| |
| MEAL_WITH_01 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
There ya go! No need to be shy! I'll whip something up quick, so you wait right there. |
| |
| MEAL_WITH_02 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Oh, okay. Maybe some other time, then. |
| |

Man[]
| MAN_FRENDSHIP_CONVERSATION_00 | ||

We're way out in the countryside here, so I'm sure there's gotta be lots of things you have to get used to. Good luck. |
| |
| MAN_FRENDSHIP_CONVERSATION_01 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Howdy, [Player]. How's the farm? Let me know if you have any good produce for sale. |
| |
| MAN_FRENDSHIP_CONVERSATION_02 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
How's it going, [Player]? Not having any trouble, I hope. But if you ever do need any help, let me know right away, y'hear? I'll be happy to help out. |
| |
| MAN_FRENDSHIP_CONVERSATION_03 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Hey, [Player]? Is it just my imagination, or are you getting pretty popular? |
| |
|
I mean, you're friendly, helpful, and a lot of fun to talk to. If I were a lady, I'd be head over heels for you! |
| |
| MAN_FRENDSHIP_CONVERSATION_04 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
When me, Carrie, and Grandpa get to talking, I can't help but bring you up, [Player]. Carrie laughs at me every time. The two of us have such a great time hanging out, I just wanna share it with my family, y'know? |
| |

| |
|
AHEM! Uh, don't tell Carrie I almost said that, okay? |
| |

Blessing[]
| MAN_BLESSING_LOVER | ||
|---|---|---|
|
[Player], I heard! So you're dating [lover name] now, huh? That's great! I knew you two looked like you were getting along really well. Stop by the restaurant sometime. I'll throw in some extras for you. |
| |
| WOMAN_BLESSING_LOVER | ||
|---|---|---|
|
[Player], I heard! So you're dating [lover name] now, huh? That's great! As his friend, I'm really glad he finally found someone. I'm extra glad that someone is you. Take good care of him, okay? |
| |
| BLESSING_LOVER_OTHER | ||

| |
| WOMAN_BLESSING_ENGAGEMENT | ||
|---|---|---|
|
You and [fiancé name] are getting married? That's great! Congratulations, [Player]! So [fiancé name] is finally getting married, and to you of all people? I get the feeling I'm gonna bawl like a baby during the ceremony. |
| |
| BLESSING_ENGAGEMENT_OTHER | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Carrie told me that you're getting married soon. That's great! Congratulations, [Player]! I wish you and your beloved the best. |
| |
| MAN_BLESSING_MARRIAGE | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Congrats on your marriage, [Player]! [wife name] was a beautiful bride, wasn't she? You weren't too shabby in the looks department, either! I wish you and your wife the best. Take good care of each other, okay? |
| |
| WOMAN_BLESSING_MARRIAGE | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Congrats on your marriage, [Player]! You looked beautiful as a bride. So you and [husband name] are finally married, huh? As a friend to you both, I'm really happy for you. I'm sure you'll be able to make it work. |
| |
| BLESSING_MARRIAGE_OTHER | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Congrats on your marriage, [Player]! Geez, look at that million-megawatt smile on your face. Ah, well. I guess I can't talk, given I probably had just as big a smile on my face when I got married. |
| |
| BLESSING_MARRIAGE_PRESENT | ||
|---|---|---|

I got a wedding present for you. Here. I hope you like it. |
| |

| |
| WOMAN_BLESSING_CHILD_BIRTH | ||

| |
|
How are you feeling? Childbirth isn't an easy thing. You should be sure to get plenty of rest, okay? |
| |
| BLESSING_CHILD_BIRTH_OTHER | ||
|---|---|---|
|
[Player]! I heard your baby has been born! Congratulations! Looks like the family of two is a family of three now, right? Your face is practically glowing with happiness. Once all three of you have settled down, I'd love to come and say hi to the new one! |
| |

Oh, yeah! Here. I got a present for you for congratulations on the birth. I hope you like it! |

Howdy, [Player]! Today's your birthday, right? Happy birthday! I got you a birthday present. Here! I hope you like it. |

Talk[]
| Talk 0 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Things I like? Well, cooked dishes, for one. But my favorite has to be grape wine. A glass after a hard day's work is the best! |
| |
| Talk 1 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Things I don't like? Hmm... I don't really have much use for things that aren't food or used for cooking. I'm still trying to improve my craft, y'know. I want to try all kinds of new dishes and ingredients. |
| |
| Talk 2 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
My grandpa was the one who originally ran this restaurant. I've always loved this place, even as a kid. When I heard talk that it might close after he retired, I decided right then and there I'd take it over for him when I grew up. If it weren't for this place, I don't think I'd have become a chef at all! |
| |
| Talk 3 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
At the moment, I cook up most of the dishes that get served to customers. But when it comes to really complex dishes, I still need to get Grandpa's help. I hope to be able to do them myself someday soon. |
| |
| Talk 4 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
My hobbies? I guess you could say wine tasting. There are lots of different varieties, y'know. It can get pretty complex. |
| |
|
I enjoy drinking it, of course, but it's also fun to think of what wines pair well with what dishes. And that means I get to go learn more about cooking at the same time, too! |
| |
| Talk 5 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Howdy, [Player]! How's it going? Feeling a little hungry? I can almost hear your stomach rumbling from here. |
| |
| Talk 6 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
There's actually a lot of useful ingredients you can forage for up in the mountains. Stuff like berries and mushrooms. Sometimes I use what I've foraged in new recipes, and they always turn out amazing. The ingredients are fresh as fresh gets, after all. |
| |
| Talk 7 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Hm? Who am I good friends with? Well, Hector and I have been buddies since we were kids. I used to visit Westown to see my grandpa. Then there's Ford and Wayne, too. The four of us get together to play poker sometimes. |
| |
| Talk 8 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Hector always looks like he's having so much fun when he gets to tinker with machines. I remember we got in a fight once when we were younger because he ignored me for days just to play with this one machine. |
| |
| Talk 9 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Hector's a man of few words, right? Don't worry. It isn't you. He's been like that to everybody for years. He's a good guy at heart, though. Don't hold it against him, okay? |
| |
| Talk 10 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Grandpa's a really nice guy, isn't he? I love him, but sometimes, he can be a little TOO nice and trusting of others. |
| |
|
Once, someone almost convinced him to pay a mountain of money for a vase that supposedly made you happy just by owning it. I managed to stop him just in time, thank goodness. When I saw the price tag on that thing, my eyes almost fell out of my head! |
| |
| Talk 11 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Grandpa's cooking is really delicious. When I was little, I once asked him what his secret ingredient was. His answer? "Care." He could've just meant it as a joke, but I've taken that to heart. |
| |
| Talk 12 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
When I told my grandpa I wanted to succeed him as the restaurant's owner, he cried for joy. I was really happy, too. |
| |
|
Though, uh...when he said he'd pass both the restaurant and his chef's hat down to me, I just had to say no. I mean, that pancake hat looks terrible on me! I tried it on once, and Carrie laughed so hard, she fell over! |
| |
| Talk 13 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Do you know the one trait that almost all bad chefs have, [Player]? They don't taste their cooking. I wonder why not. I wasn't a great chef right off the bat myself. But I did know to taste what I was working on. No matter how close you stick to the recipe, you still need to at least check it. |
| |
|
What, am I talking about Carrie? ...Yeah. |
| |
| Talk 14 | ||
|---|---|---|

Don't ask me why, but I've always kinda been prone to getting caught up in all kinds of little problems. Finding abandoned puppies. Being right there when someone tips over an apple cart. Old folks looking for directions. Carrie says my chances of running across someone in trouble have to be twice as high as anyone else's. |

Wayne once told me to my face that I could be kinda dense sometimes. But at least I'm better than Ford, right? Compared to him, I'm-- |
| |
|
Wait, why are you giving me that look? |

Carrie and I have been friends since we were kids. I've loved her for just about as long, too. Being married to her while getting to run a restaurant with my favorite grandpa makes me feel like the luckiest man alive. |

Carrie is so nimble and deft with handicrafts, but for some reason, she can't cook to save her life. When we were little kids, she once made a mud pie and almost made me eat it! Looking back on it, she's just not ever been cut out for cooking! |

I'm sure being a farmer can't be easy, but as a chef, I've gotta envy you for having so many fresh veggies right at your fingertips. I wonder if I could manage a kitchen garden or something. If I do ever do that, could I come to you for advice, [Player]? |

Lisette gets a lot of guys as customers at her flower shop. As a guy myself, I'm betting a lot of them aren't there just for the flowers. Cutting those customers out of the equation, the flowers she sells are popular with everybody. Young or old, male or female. I pick up flowers from her place to decorate in the restaurant sometimes, and customers will always compliment me on how pretty they are. |

Grandpa loves getting fresh ingredients from Frank's farm. We use them in the restaurant a lot. It's got to take a ton of skill and effort to raise veggies that good. |

Miranda and Carrie are great friends. There aren't many ladies her age around these parts, so I'm glad she has someone to talk to. |
| |
|
The only problem is that if I ask Carrie to go buy something quick, she won't come back for hours. They talk foreeeeever! |

Not only is Carrie smart and athletic, she's also really friendly and cheerful. Everybody loves her. When I asked her why she chose me, she said that she just couldn't leave me alone. She had to be there to take care of me. |
| |
|
Part of me was really glad to hear that, but another part of me had to wonder if I'm really that bad... |

I haven't been a kid for years, but Megan still insists on treating me like one. It really throws me off. I was always gettin' in trouble with her for one reason or another when I was a kid. She's like a scary aunt to me now! |

Colin is so much like his father was at that age, it's scary. After his mother passed, he lost his smile, but with time, he's started to find it again. |

I make it a point of baking a cake for him on his birthday. Every time he sees it, he breaks out into this cute, shy little grin. |

I'll sometimes go to other towns to eat so that I can study their cooking. You can find techniques and ingredients we don't have here. I go to Ginjiro's teahouse in Tsuyukusa and the twins' cafe in Lulukoko pretty often. |
| |
|
They have dishes available that we don't have here, and they're all great! |

Yuzuki has a real sweet tooth, so he'll come here to eat a lot. He looks particularly happy when he's enjoying a dessert. |

As a chef, one of the greatest compliments we can get is to watch a customer enjoy our cooking that much. |

He's no Wayne, of course, but Ford is actually quietly popular with a lot of girls. I bet what draws them to him is how seriously he takes his job! |

Ford can seem pretty uptight at times, but he isn't a bad guy. I'm sure he might come off a little harsh to you sometimes, but don't hold it against him, okay? |

You know what they say, right? Some things are an acquired taste. Well, I guess some folks can be, too! |

It's easy to think Wayne's a flake and a flirt. Given that he'll go up and chat with any lady he sees, it isn't hard to see why. But he does try real hard to be considerate to folks, and what seems like brashness is just him bein' naive. He's still kinda immature in some ways. |

Sometimes I can't help but get jealous of Wayne. He has everything a guy would want. He's really popular with the ladies, but to really know the man, you gotta get him one-on-one. I get why people who don't know him well would consider him a flirt, though. |
