Introduction

When speaking to Shang for the first time in a new game:

	Hm. Good day to you, local. Stay out of my way, please.
Player:		Uh, hey there. I met you at the docks, remember? I'm [Player], the farmer of Sun Haven. Who are you?
		My greetings, farmer. But I don't have time for these pointless pleasantries. Please stay out of my way.

Stranger Lines

:"Hm, hello. Is there something I can help you with, or? "

:"My sword hand itches. I may need to practice soon. "

:"Our salted meat stores are low. I'll have to send my men out on a hunt tonight. "

:"This town is a comfortable enough place to stay - for the moment. "

:"You're in my way, if you don't mind. "

:"Yes? "

:"Spring is blossoming. I can smell the scent of change on the wind. "

:"The summer sun is hot in this part of the world. I like it. "

:"What do you mean 'is it hard living on a ship in the middle of summer'? Is it hard living on a farm in the middle of summer? "

:"Training beneath a blazing sun is very invigorating, for both body and soul. "

:"Perhaps I'll grill my own fish tonight. "

:"Don't you have any special summer-time work to be doing, farmer? "

:"The snow lays deep here in the winter. It makes everything quiet and serene. "

:"My ship needs more firewood. I'll send Duizhang out with an axe tomorrow. "

:"The stillness of winter, it's as if everything is frozen in place. I can't stand it. "

:"Winter's bite is more ferocious than any beast. Make sure you're dressed to withstand its fangs. "

:"That pink cat Amari was making snow angels the other day. Hm. So... childish. "

:"Hm. May you reap a bountiful fall harvest. "

:"The leaves change such amazing colors in this land. "

:"Practicing my sword strikes on the falling leaves is not only great training, but also... oddly satisfying. "

:"I'm told the forests here are excellent hunting in the fall. Perhaps it's time I found out for myself. "

:"No, I don't have any urges to jump through the piles of fallen leaves. Eh, what do you mean you didn't ask? Was I thinking out loud? Grr! "

Friend Lines

:"Good day to you, [Player].."

:"Can I do anything for a friend?"

:"The military barracks in this town has plenty of training dummies, though I slice through them very quickly."

:"How are you with a blade, [Player]? Perhaps we could spar together sometime."

:"The man in the crab house, Peter. He's quite adept at fishing, perhaps he could teach my men to be better anglers."

Dating Lines

:"You're never a waste of my time, [Player]."

:"I knew I heard you approaching. Hm? Of course I memorized the sound of your footsteps."

:"Do you think I should move my ship to your farm? Hm, maybe not. It could be quite crowded."

:"Always good to see you, my dear."

:"Is there anything you need?"

Married Lines

:"In the end, I found a Blessing, [Player]. It was you. "

:"Let me take you on a walk through the forest, my love. "

:"Each time I see you, I feel like a new man. I hope it is a feeling that never ends. "

:"Busy today, my heart? "

:"If you need anything, you only ever have to ask. "

:"The heat of summer will break, but never will our love. "

:"Keep cool, [Player]. There is nothing in our lives worth overworking yourself for. "

:"If I am to stay in Sun Haven for the rest of my days, at least I'll be able to enjoy its beautiful summers. With you, of course, [Player]. "

:"You never seem to slow down, even during the hottest days. You make it challenging to keep pace with you, my dear. "

:"None of my days are complete until I see you, [Player]. "

:"Has the chill gotten to you, darling? Come close to me, I'll warm you. "

:"The cold air dries my nose out, and I lose my sense of smell. Hm. So troublesome. "

:"So many strange fish can be caught here in the winter - I simply must try them all. You and I should angle together sometime, my dear. "

:"A thousand winters could not bring me to break my conviction to you, [Player]. "

:"I can sense a hint of spring on the air, but it is still faint and distant. Hm. More winter, then. "

:"The Laohu Yu's hull is developing barnacles. It seems we've been docked in Sun Haven for quite some time, now... "

:"You look as radiant as ever today, my love. Hm, no. Maybe even more than ever. "

:"Nathaniel tells me I'm getting better with a broadsword. Hm. I hope he isn't just trying to raise my spirits with false words. "

:"The falling leaves always make me feel a strange sense of longing, but I can never put my finger on what it is... "

:"I'm not keeping you, am I, [Player]? I love to see you, but I wouldn't want to get in the way of your work. "

Gifting Lines

General

• Loved: Hm - item? A truly worthy gift. Thank you, [Player].
• Liked: This item is worthy. Thank you.
• Good: Well look at that! Thanks for the item.

Birthday Responses

If the player gives Shang a gift on their birthday, they will get one of these generic responses based on the level of the gift. Shang's birthday is the 9th of Summer.

:"You got this for me? On my birthday? It's been a long time since I've received a birthday gift this nice... I appreciate the thought, [Player]."

:"Hm. Thank you for the birthday gift."

:"I don't expect much on my birthdays, but this is an awful gift - even for having no expectations to begin with!"

Memory Loss Potion

The Memory Loss Potion is an item that, when gifted to a Romanceable NPC, will cause the world to forget all about the relationship they have with the player. When used on a Romanceable NPC while married, the Memory Loss Potion will only reduce their hearts to ten (the platonic relationship cap), while getting a divorce at Town Hall will reduce it to 8.
