"I know he's an impolite, ungrateful little scamp! Why, he didn't even stay for tea after I'd cooked him the most delightful dish!"
"(sniffs) I offered him some of my famous stew, but he spilled it all over himself, and ran off! Why, I've never been so insulted in my life!"
"Why, yes of course! It's my Lava Spice Stew--I make it with real lava, and 14 different peppers! That's why this is so insulting! Why, he hasn't come out of the lake in over an hour! But if he won't finish his stew, maybe you--"
"Oh, did you change your mind? Would you like to have some of my stew after all?"
"Oh, would you be a dear and help with an, er...embarrassing situation I've run into? It's dear Lafayette, he's erm...well, folks are starting to stare. Perhaps he'd listen to someone closer to his own age..."
"You see, he's really the sweetest thing--he's been coming to me for acting advice lately, since as you may know I've headed a NUMBER of community theater productions--but the poor bird gets whisked away every time a new fad comes around!"
"APPARENTLY he ran into some sort of traveling salesman. You know the type--smarmy, VULTUROUS...and this salesman figured they could trick little Lafayette...so they sold him...nothing."
"They convinced my poor sweet Lafayette that they were peddling the finest new fashion trend all the way from North Feral: INVISIBLE CLOTHING."
"So... well... Lafayette has been strutting around all day wearing nothing, but--well, you know...NOTHING. Ahem. I assume you see the issue?"
"So if you please--I've lovingly stitched some clothes to be EXACTLY like the ones he had before, but he'll need some convincing to put them on... Will you speak with him? He's up north, strutting around Sporesville...!"
"THANK YOU! You're a real darling! Just remember, he's a SENSITIVE boy, so don't be too harsh--and be quick before he embarrasses himself any further... Oh, dear, oh dear..."
"Please, Lafayette is sensitive, so do try to be gentle when you deliver the clothes!"
"Ohh a mother's work is never done! I could use just about a hundred extra tentacles!"
"Yes, they're having growing pains-happened to little Myrefolk grubs around the same age! Would you be willing to rustle up some grub for these little grubs while I look after them? Thanks, you're a life-saver!"
"Ohh, do you hear that? Those screams just went from despondent to DELIGHTED! Ohh, Mallory will be so pleased that her grubs are doing so well! ...Whenever... she comes back, that is..."
"Thank you so much! Why, I say you'd make a fine parent yourself someday! Don't be a stranger, now!"
