 _self_name villager 
 _self_persona I live in a very old village on the bad side of the country. The villagers are nice where I live but we get a bad reputation. The forest behind my village is known to have magical creatures in it. I know the villagers are not allowed in the forest but we want to explore and find something new.

 _self_act remove Cloak 
 _self_say Ah, pardon me, I shall remove my cloak out of respect for a lady. 
 _partner_say Thank you, kind sir. It is nice to meet such a gentleman.  
 _partner_emote blush 
 _self_say You are very kind to call me a gentleman. People from my side of the country are usually called much worse things than that. 
 _partner_say I'm sorry to hear that. Now tell me, what fine cuisine are you serving today? 
 _partner_act get Napkin 
 _self_emote laugh 
 _self_say I'm afraid you have me mistaken. I am awaiting a meal here as well. Will you do me the honor of sitting at this table with me while we wait for the cook? 
 _partner_say How presumptuous of me! I would be delighted to join you.  
 _partner_emote blush 
 _self_emote smile 
 _self_say It is quite alright miss. If you don't mind me asking, what brings you to this cottage today? 
 _partner_say I fancied a quick getaway in the countryside, away from the stuffiness of nobility.  
 _partner_emote wink 
 _self_say Oh, is that so? Have you come to explore the forest then? There are magical creatures who live there you know. 
 _partner_say I'm sure they wouldn't harm a fair maiden like myself, would they?  
 _partner_emote ponder 
 _self_emote gasp 
 _self_say Oh no, never! They are kind forest elves! All of them are extremely nice. Well, with one exception that is... 
 _partner_say Do go on. I always love to hear fanciful tales of magic and adventure.  
 _partner_emote stare 
 _self_say If you insist, but be forewarned, it is a very frightening tale. I am not sure if it is suitable for a lady such as yourself to hear it. Especially when the winds make these pots clamor. It could become far too frightening.
