Script:
You: 
A Shirley Temple, extra cherries!
Taylin: Coming right up! You two wait here.
Taylin: ...I always assumed I took after mama. Sifuu and I are so... different.
Taylin: But mama's so... easy going. She's made friends with half the town already.
Taylin: I'm... not. I don't know how to be.
You: 
So what?
Taylin: ...You're right. I'm being sensitive. Again.
Taylin: Enough about me. I am tired of everyone treating my feelings like they are the most important in the room.
Taylin: Drinks are here!
Taylin: (Taylin hands each of you your orders, then settles in against the balcony.)
Taylin: Oh, Hassian, did Sifuu ever tell you about the Flothinger hunt we went on?
Taylin: ...? Flothingers don't exist.
Taylin: Of course they do! You've been poisoned by city-folk for too long. Everyone on the plains knows they're real!
Taylin: Sifuu tells it better, but it goes like this-
Taylin: (Taylin launches into the story as you sip your drinks. Time passes quickly, and the conversation slowly grows less stilted.)
Taylin: That can't be true. Even my record's only thirty-
Taylin: It is! I'm Barafuu's Chapaa Chopping Champion! Ask Sifuu, she was there!
Taylin: Actually, so were you. Think I was a few months along at the time? They almost didn't let me compete.
Taylin: Perhaps my hatred was instilled at birth, then. You know the mayor personally introduced them to Kilima?
Taylin: UGH! I was wondering why they were overrunning the place. They're bad enough in their natural habitat, but down here?
Taylin: Breeding's gotta be out of control!
Taylin: It is, and City Hall refuses to do anything about it! They're eating everything in sight. The shadvaraak population's dropped drastically.
Taylin: Some people... but I'm proud of you. Takes an iron will to be a proper steward of nature.
Taylin: Especially when everyone's busy romanticizing it. They look at some ugly-cute creature and ignore how bad it is for the local ecosystem.
Taylin: Or they see some cute wild muujin, try to pet it, and then act surprised when it bites their hand off!
Taylin: Nature is to be respected... and that respect means acknowledging the ugly truths about it, as well as the beauty.
Taylin: Couldn't have said it better myself.
You: 
Chapaas ARE cute, though!
Taylin: ...
Taylin: ...
Taylin: It's okay to be wrong, sometimes.
Taylin: Nobody is perfect.
You: Except chapaas.
Taylin: ...You almost had me there, {playername}! Good one.
Taylin: Ahh, is that the time? We'd better head to the next activity! I spent a lot of time setting it up, you know!
Taylin: C'mon, you two. We're headed to Bahari next!
You: Rude!!
Taylin: Not as rude as an invasive species.
Taylin: Ahh, is that the time? We'd better head to the next activity! I spent a lot of time setting it up, you know!
Taylin: C'mon, you two. We're headed to Bahari next!
You: They aren't even that cute.
You: 
That sounds like fear, not respect.
Taylin: If you are well prepared and take the time to understand the wilds, there is nothing to fear. But better a fool fear nature than suffer the consequences of underestimating it.
Taylin: Ahh, is that the time? We'd better head to the next activity! I spent a lot of time setting it up, you know!
Taylin: C'mon, you two. We're headed to Bahari next!
You: Also? Bugs. Lots of bugs in nature.
Taylin: Not a fan of the creepy crawlies? You might not believe it, but neither's Sifuu.
Taylin: She's terrified of spiders. I always had to rescue her whenever one got into the tent.
Taylin: She makes me get them now. The amount of times she's shown up at the grove in the middle of the night asking for help...
Taylin: Ahh, is that the time? We'd better head to the next activity! I spent a lot of time setting it up, you know!
Taylin: C'mon, you two. We're headed to Bahari next!
You: You're your own person!
Taylin: I know. I just... thought it was supposed to be easier with family.
Taylin: ...Now that I am saying it out loud, the foolishness of that statement seems self-evident.
Taylin: Enough about me. I am tired of everyone treating my feelings like they are the most important in the room.

You: Do you want to be?
Taylin: No. I do not need to become a different person. I just... thought it was supposed to be easier with family.
Taylin: ...Now that I am saying it out loud, the foolishness of that statement seems self-evident.

Taylin: If so, she keeps hers well hidden...
Taylin: Maybe that's the problem, then. I don't want to hurt her more, when I don't even know how much pain she's in.

Taylin: C'mon, you two. We're headed to Bahari next!
You: Rude!!
Taylin: Not as rude as an invasive species.
Taylin: Ahh, is that the time? We'd better head to the next activity! I spent a lot of time setting it up, you know!
Taylin: C'mon, you two. We're headed to Bahari next!
You: They aren't even that cute.
You: That sounds like fear, not respect.
Taylin: If you are well prepared and take the time to understand the wilds, there is nothing to fear. But better a fool fear nature than suffer the consequences of underestimating it.
Taylin: Ahh, is that the time? We'd better head to the next activity! I spent a lot of time setting it up, you know!
Taylin: C'mon, you two. We're headed to Bahari next!
You: Also? Bugs. Lots of bugs in nature.
Taylin: Not a fan of the creepy crawlies? You might not believe it, but neither's Sifuu.
Taylin: She's terrified of spiders. I always had to rescue her whenever one got into the tent.
Taylin: She makes me get them now. The amount of times she's shown up at the grove in the middle of the night asking for help...
Taylin: Ahh, is that the time? We'd better head to the next activity! I spent a lot of time setting it up, you know!
Taylin: C'mon, you two. We're headed to Bahari next!
You: Bean juice. Black.
Taylin: Coming right up! You two wait here.
Taylin: ...I always assumed I took after mama. Sifuu and I are so... different.
Taylin: But mama's so... easy going. She's made friends with half the town already.
Taylin: I'm... not. I don't know how to be.
You: So what?
Taylin: ...You're right. I'm being sensitive. Again.
Taylin: Enough about me. I am tired of everyone treating my feelings like they are the most important in the room.
Taylin: Drinks are here!
Taylin: (Taylin hands each of you your orders, then settles in against the balcony.)
Taylin: Oh, Hassian, did Sifuu ever tell you about the Flothinger hunt we went on?
Taylin: ...? Flothingers don't exist.
Taylin: Of course they do! You've been poisoned by city-folk for too long. Everyone on the plains knows they're real!
Taylin: Sifuu tells it better, but it goes like this-
Taylin: (Taylin launches into the story as you sip your drinks. Time passes quickly, and the conversation slowly grows less stilted.)
Taylin: That can't be true. Even my record's only thirty-
Taylin: It is! I'm Barafuu's Chapaa Chopping Champion! Ask Sifuu, she was there!
Taylin: Actually, so were you. Think I was a few months along at the time? They almost didn't let me compete.
Taylin: Perhaps my hatred was instilled at birth, then. You know the mayor personally introduced them to Kilima?
Taylin: UGH! I was wondering why they were overrunning the place. They're bad enough in their natural habitat, but down here?
Taylin: Breeding's gotta be out of control!
Taylin: It is, and City Hall refuses to do anything about it! They're eating everything in sight. The shadvaraak population's dropped drastically.
Taylin: Some people... but I'm proud of you. Takes an iron will to be a proper steward of nature.
Taylin: Especially when everyone's busy romanticizing it. They look at some ugly-cute creature and ignore how bad it is for the local ecosystem.
Taylin: Or they see some cute wild muujin, try to pet it, and then act surprised when it bites their hand off!
Taylin: Nature is to be respected... and that respect means acknowledging the ugly truths about it, as well as the beauty.
Taylin: Couldn't have said it better myself.
You: Chapaas ARE cute, though!
Taylin: ...
Taylin: ...
Taylin: It's okay to be wrong, sometimes.
Taylin: Nobody is perfect.
You: Except chapaas.
Taylin: ...You almost had me there, {playername}! Good one.
Taylin: Ahh, is that the time? We'd better head to the next activity! I spent a lot of time setting it up, you know!
Taylin: C'mon, you two. We're headed to Bahari next!

Taylin: C'mon, you two. We're headed to Bahari next!
You: You're your own person!
Taylin: I know. I just... thought it was supposed to be easier with family.
Taylin: ...Now that I am saying it out loud, the foolishness of that statement seems self-evident.
Taylin: Enough about me. I am tired of everyone treating my feelings like they are the most important in the room.

Taylin: Actually, so were you. Think I was a few months along at the time? They almost didn't let me compete.
Taylin: Perhaps my hatred was instilled at birth, then. You know the mayor personally introduced them to Kilima?
Taylin: UGH! I was wondering why they were overrunning the place. They're bad enough in their natural habitat, but down here?
Taylin: Breeding's gotta be out of control!
Taylin: It is, and City Hall refuses to do anything about it! They're eating everything in sight. The shadvaraak population's dropped drastically.
Taylin: Some people... but I'm proud of you. Takes an iron will to be a proper steward of nature.
Taylin: Especially when everyone's busy romanticizing it. They look at some ugly-cute creature and ignore how bad it is for the local ecosystem.
Taylin: Or they see some cute wild muujin, try to pet it, and then act surprised when it bites their hand off!
Taylin: Nature is to be respected... and that respect means acknowledging the ugly truths about it, as well as the beauty.
Taylin: Couldn't have said it better myself.
You: Chapaas ARE cute, though!
Taylin: ...
Taylin: ...
Taylin: It's okay to be wrong, sometimes.
Taylin: Nobody is perfect.
You: Except chapaas.
Taylin: ...You almost had me there, {playername}! Good one.
Taylin: Ahh, is that the time? We'd better head to the next activity! I spent a lot of time setting it up, you know!
Taylin: C'mon, you two. We're headed to Bahari next!
You: Rude!!
Taylin: Not as rude as an invasive species.
Taylin: Ahh, is that the time? We'd better head to the next activity! I spent a lot of time setting it up, you know!
Taylin: C'mon, you two. We're headed to Bahari next!
You: They aren't even that cute.
You: That sounds like fear, not respect.
Taylin: If you are well prepared and take the time to understand the wilds, there is nothing to fear. But better a fool fear nature than suffer the consequences of underestimating it.
Taylin: Ahh, is that the time? We'd better head to the next activity! I spent a lot of time setting it up, you know!
Taylin: C'mon, you two. We're headed to Bahari next!
You: Also? Bugs. Lots of bugs in nature.
Taylin: Not a fan of the creepy crawlies? You might not believe it, but neither's Sifuu.
Taylin: She's terrified of spiders. I always had to rescue her whenever one got into the tent.
Taylin: She makes me get them now. The amount of times she's shown up at the grove in the middle of the night asking for help...
Taylin: Ahh, is that the time? We'd better head to the next activity! I spent a lot of time setting it up, you know!
Taylin: C'mon, you two. We're headed to Bahari next!
