"How are things?"

{if Day = 1}"Oh you know," she says, cheerfully smiling and fiddling with her hair, "peeps come in with shiny they were saving all cycle what with attack that is soon, buying pointy knives and armour. Humans sell me many buckets; perfect size for goblin head! But I do worry. If we lose, I lose shop and all my shinies too." She shook her head with a sudden serious expression. She paused to look at Hopkins, taking a moment to peer into his eyes as if to check that he is truly dedicated to defending the village, before smiling and letting go a breath of air through her nose, chuckling under her breath. "Nah, we good if you around. I not doubt. You good protector of village."

Hopkins returned the smile and nodded.

"Listen, come tomorrow again. Maybe I got more stuff to give to you for shinies? I try to listen for info, I even do for fre-" She caught herself, hand over her mouth.

"Is too late now, you was gonna' say free," Hopkins smirked.

"Bah fine, for free, since you protect village. But you better protect my shop extra!"

He nodded once again.{elseif Day = 2}"Not much," she replied curtly, "no more sharps or protecties. Sold out. All gone. Good shinies, but now no-one has shinies left to give! And now no-one go far from village, there no change to find new shinies- Bah!"

She harumpfs and sits her head on the table, pouting. Her eyes looked up at Hopkins, wide and brimming with coy innocence.

"Maybe you buy things? I got things for shinies?"

Hopkins chuckles. "Maybe."{elseif Day = 3}"Not good," she says, "village nervous. If I honest, I nervous too. We not know who we exactly fight, and how many. What if we not prepared? What if we lose?" She raised her voice to fever pitch. "What if I lose all my shinies?!"

Hopkins grabbed her by the shoulders from across the counter. "Calm! Calm. We be okay. I am preparing village. We ready... probably." He drew back his hands when she returned to normal.

"Yes, you right, we will be okay." Her eyes wandered off, suddenly thinking in her own world. "Yeah, we will be okay."{else}Press the 'Start Game' button to the right!{endif}
