Reed is a plant amari with a sense of humor. Many of his interactions with the player begin or end with a joke. Similar to plants, he uses photosynthesis to make energy from the sun; however he becomes perturbed with the player if they call him a plant as "plants are mindless beings" and he is an intelligent amari.
Once specific relationship levels are reached, Reed will send mail to the player which can be collected from the farm's mailbox.
Relationship Level 5
I was soaking in the sun the other day when I realized something. I think you and I are friends, [Player]. Correct me if I'm wrong, but we see each other and speak often. Hm, that's what a friend is, right? If I'm wrong, you can just let me know. I won't be bothered, I promise. If I'm not wrong, though, then I look forward to seeing you again, friend.

Dialogue
Introduction
When speaking to Reed for the first time in a new game:
Excuse me, I don't mean to be rude, but you're blocking my sun.
Player:
Oh, I apologize. I'm [Player].
Hello, [Player]. I'm Reed. No need to apologize, just be mindful. I need plenty of sunlight each day.
General Dialogue
General non-conversational dialogue between Reed and the player. If there is a seasonal token at the end of the dialogue, it means the player can only see that dialogue during that season.
:"If I stay in one spot too long, I might take root! Seriously, it's a problem."
:"Bless Nivara for the sunshine and the rainfall."
:"If I'm ever annoying, just tell me to leaf you alone. Get it? Plant joke."
:"Remember to care for all things green. For me, that's self-care."
:"I've heard the stories of a certain plant Amari. She travels from place to place, overrunning everything with plants. If you ever meet someone that fits that description, I would tell you to turn the other way and run."
Conversations
Cycle 1
:
The dirt seems extra fertile as of late. I wonder why that is.
Player:
Are you a plant Amari?
:
That's right, why do you ask? Haven't you met one of us before? There are several in this town alone, you know.
Player:
I didn't mean to gawk.
:
I simply thought that, since you found your way to Nel'Vari in the first place, you would have been a well-traveled adventurer. You still have a lot to learn, it seems.
Player:
I've never seen someone like you before.
:
That's surprising. I thought that, since you found your way to Nel'Vari in the first place, you would have been a well-traveled adventurer. You still have a lot to learn, it seems.
Player:
So do you eat food, or what?
:
I do not eat, but I make my own energy from sunshine. It makes life a lot more manageable. So much free time that would have been, well, "eaten up."
Player:
You make your own food and you tell jokes? +2 Points
:
I suppose all that extra time lets my mind wander. I'm bound to stumble on a joke here or there.
Player:
That's the funniest joke I ever heard a plant make! -1 Points
:
Please, don't insult my intelligence. Plants are mindless beings. I am Amari, not plant.
