Even I don't know how I was that nice. Player-me is a terrible, awful, malicious person.

As for our interactions, I was inspired by one conversation in particular that we had to make up part of an addition to my role, so it's safe to say that Saerali was influential to Ettie.

Oh, one more thing:

Saerali says 'I'm going on a picnic, and I'm taking an armadillo, a baby, a cat, a drink, an elephant, a fern, a goose, a herring, an icicle, a jump rope, a kettle, a leg, a melon, nothing, odor and a parrot.'
You say 'More mouths to feed.'
Ryasyn says 'What's the parrot going to eat?!'
Saerali says 'Yes, but it will make conversation...and I'm sure it likes melon.'
You say 'A melon only goes so far.'
Ryasyn says 'Elephants eat melon.'
Saerali says 'We could bring more than one.'
You say 'Unless you're going to eat the goose.'
Ryasyn says 'SHHHHH!'
Ryasyn says to a golden duck 'No, no, nothing of the sort.'
Saerali says 'Well, I didn't say I was bringing the goose as a guest...'
Ryasyn says to a golden duck 'It's alright, go to sleep.'
You say 'He knows he isn't a goose.'
You say 'And he eats chicken.'
Ryasyn says 'He has cousins.'

And so on and so forth...
