In Kinya Province, if your character is not a Mesmer:
"It is a great thing to be a Mesmer, but given the circumstances, perhaps you were wise to choose another profession. I have great respect for most of the Headmasters here, but some.... Well, I trust you have encountered Headmaster Kaa."
"I hope Mei Ling is doing alright. She had to stay back at the monastery to guard the others. If she wanted to guard anyone it would be Headmaster Kaa, most likely. I have no idea what she sees in that old man. I hope we get this plague business sorted out soon so things can return to normal around here. Did you need something?"
"When Master Togo picked me to come help defeat the plague on the mainland, I was shocked. Of course, he could not send Headmaster Kaa. He would just make a mess of things. But I ache to be away from Mei Ling for so long. Surely he could have found someone else to send.
"I'm the greatest mentalist the world has ever known! Come here. Let me read your palm and I'll tell you the future. Let's see, you're traveling through great dangers into unknown realms. So easy!"
"No, no, don't tell me... let me read your aura. You're going on a journey... into dangerous lands... and you need me... to help! Ha! I've done it again! That'll be five gold, please."
"Don't bother introducing yourself. I can tell from the cut of your clothes where you're from, right down to the street name. You're the hero, right? See? I'm amazing!"
"I feel a strange vibration coming from your inner eye. Aaah, I'm having a vision! A vision of you fighting horrible monsters. You're in grave danger. Am I good or what?"
