A flower shop sim where you only have one customer, and their cousin has very picky flower preferences.

In came the Owl, with a skip and a hop.
Shopkeep: "Oh, owl friend! Why do you return to my little shop?"
Owl: "Hoot, hoot! My cousin needs flower, more, more flower
!"
Shopkeep: "Silly owl, you've already been here several times within the hour!"

Shopkeep: "Perhaps your cousin would like something more?"
Owl: "No, no, no! It's flowers they adore!"

The Shopkeep sighed, and turned to the side.
Shopkeep: "Alright, which color did you come for?"

Owl: "A bright yellow bouquet would surely make their day!"
The Shopkeep wrapped the pretty gift, and sent them on their way.

In came the Owl, like many times before.
Shopkeep: "Ah, owl friend! You've already returned to my store!?"
Owl: "Hoot, hoot! My cousin needs flower, more, more flower!"
Shopkeep: "Just how many times will we go through this encounter..?"

Shopkeep: "If you'll be done soon, could I ask when?"
Owl: "No sir, no sir! I need more for them!"

The Shopkeep looked down and let out a sigh.
Shopkeep: "Alright, then, could I at least ask why?"

The Owl's frantic-ness suddenly went away.
Owl: "My dear cousin has had such a sorrowful day."

Owl: "I thought I could cheer them up, by finding the perfect bouquet,"
Owl: "Though, now I feel as if my panic has led me astray."

Shopkeep: "Did they not enjoy the flowers you had?"
Owl: "No sir, they liked it, but remained very sad."

Owl: "Do you, perhaps, know a gift so great, it could free them from despair?"

The Shopkeep pauses for a moment, before looking back at the worried owl.

Shopkeep: "Maybe all you need to do is... just be there."
Owl: "I just need to be there for them? No need for a perfect bouquet?"
Owl: "With a gift-less helping hand, does simple support go that long a way?"
The Shopkeep chuckles.
Shopkeep: "The greatest gift of all is knowing that someone cares."
