The game picks one. They are alternatives, in the order it prefers them.
Only when the speaker's routine sets the authored flag
*A female {Karu Elf} approaches you dripping wet in murky lake water, tiny bits of weed and algae cling to her skin* Woops! Caught my leg on a lillypad's thorn on my way back up. But it was worth it, whatta' great find!
- Gives Perfect Pearl
*The elf beholds a sizeable pearl in the palm of her hand and smiles with satisfaction.* I still got it.
The conversation forks on the graph-variable check:
If True
*Applaud.* Glad to hear it.
Thanks, stranger. *She nods pleasantly towards you and continues to behold the pearl.*
This one is special, I'm gonna' save it for a special occasion. *The elf slips the pearl into her pack and resumes her attention on you.* Anyway. Did you need something?
The conversation ends
You took <b>THAT<b> - *Point at the pearl.* - out of <b>THERE<b>? *Point at the lake.*
*The women bites her tongue and laughs quietly from her belly.* Sure did. Lots of 'em down there if you're not scared. / Yep. And now you know where to find them.
I've read of freshwater pearls in the wetlands, but never seen one for myself.
Like I said before, they're ripe for the taking at the bottom of the lake. / Well there's lots of 'em down there if you dare take a look for yourself.
[Attempt to purchase pearl.] It's superb. I simply must have it. How much?
Sorry, stranger. I'm holdin' on to this one for a special occasion. Anything else I can do for you?
The conversation ends
[Attempt to steal pearl.] And now <i>I've</i> got it. *Lunge at the pearl.*

If False
*Your hand goes for the pearl, but your depth perception is off, and you miss your target by a humiliating margin.* Keep your hands to yourself! Try this again, and I'll have you in jail. Drunken fool.
The conversation ends
Congratulations on your big find, do you have a moment to talk?
Thanks, stranger. *She nods pleasantly towards you.* Think I'll hold on to this one for safekeeping.
And sure, I can talk. What's on your mind?
The conversation ends
Impressive. How long have you been pearl diving for?
Never done anything else in my life. Been pearl diving long before you learned to walk.
If False
...
*The elf looks into your glazed-over, dull eyes.* Well ... did you need something?
The conversation ends
How <b>[player]</b> get one!?
There are lots at the bottom of the lake! You may want someone to supervise you, though ...
The pearl from my book!
*The elf talks slowly.* Oh! Do you recognize this from your picture book? I'm afraid you can't have this pearl, but I can give you this one! Shiny, isn't it?
- Gives Freshwater Pearl
The conversation ends
[Attempt to purchase pearl.] *Take coin from your pocket in a clumsy handful.* Trade?
No, sorry, dear. Though I hate seeing someone look so sad and confused ... here, take this.

Get away, thief. I have no words for errant hands.

I'm not too fond of the rain. But the company and comfort of the {community kitchen} helps ... almost makes it soothing.

{Konawai}, traveler!

I'm trying to relax after a long day in the lake ...

I hate when the weather's like this. What am I supposed to do all day?

*A female {Karu Elf} stands before you, her hair frizzy and matted with sand.* Haven't seen your face around here.

Hey, [player]. Why have your feet led you here?

The game offers every topic whose requirement is met, in the order it prefers them.

You get wet underwater, anyway. What do you care about the rain?
Don't try and get clever with me, boy / girl. The visibility is terrible down there when the sun's not out. Go ahead, try it - I won't pull you out of the murky waters if you get lost.

What do you do here?

I have questions about pearl diving.

If True
Sorry, no talking about work over a hot meal!
Only when the conversation's own flag arani is set
I'll do you one better.
You're all right, {Viasha}. I found this on the bottom of the lake. {Dreamer} only knows how it got there. I assume you'll have more use for it than I will.
- Changes standing with Garkai
[Give {arani}.] On me.
Well. Isn't that a lovely surprise? *The {Karu} takes a large fizzy sip of the mushroom {arani} and belchs.* And a surprise for you!
- Gives 2× Freshwater Pearl
- Changes standing with Garkai
Are they valuable?
*She arches her eyebrows to display that you've asked a complicated question.* All depends on a lot of things.
Shape, size, reflectivity. No two are identical.
What are they used for?
Sometimes the {Tsukis} inlay it into instruments, weapons, and armor. Though, the real money comes from the jewelry we sell to foreigners.
It makes me and the city a good amount of coin, and I imagine the pearls in {Garkai} are cheaper than the pearls in the big city markets.
Are they rare?
*She gives a friendly smirk.* They're not common. You have to know where and how to look.
I don't suppose you'd teach me?
*She nods her head.* Sorry, that's my livelihood. I won't stop you from diving at your own risk, though. Gather as many as you can find if you have the guts to take the plunge.
I had other questions.
No problem.
