| Entering | I have come, Mistress/Master. | Nothin' fer ye to worry about. | You summoned? | Yes? <sigh> I hope this doesn't take long... | You wish to see how a master handles a bazaar? | Hello, hello! You called? |
| Entering (on Venture) | Do you require aught else, Mistress/Master? | Ye know I'm in the middle o' yer venture, don't ye? | What is it? | What now? I'm busy. | I trust there is a reason for this interruption? | I came as quickly as I could! What is it? |
| Entering (Venture complete) | It pleases me to inform you that the venture is complete. | Hey, I finished that venture o' yours. | It is done. | Well, that was exhausting... | Your venture is finished. | Guess what I finished! |
| Leaving | If that is all, I will take my leave now, Mistress/Master. | Take care o' yerself, hear? | Until we next meet. | Well, it's about time. Good-bye. | I believe thanks are in order. | I'm off, then! |

| Entering (on Venture) | Yes, my lady/lord? | Somethin' else, love? | Well? What is it? | You couldn't have picked a more inconvenient time. | This better be worth my time. | What is it, madam/sir? Something urgent? |
| Entering (Venture complete) | My lady/lord, the venture you bid me undertake has been finished. | I've got your goods, by the way. Let me know when you want 'em. | I have something for you. | Thank the gods that's over. | My venture report is ready. | Good news, madam/sir! The venture was a success! |
| Leaving | With your leave, my lady/lord. | Don't you worry 'bout a thing. I got this. | Farewell, then. | If there is nothing else, madam/sir, I'll be going now. | Is that all? Very well, until next time. | Oh, will that be all today? Very well, but promise me you'll come back soon! |
| Leaving (on Venture) | Pray excuse me, my lady/lord. | I'd best get goin'. | Excuse me. | Guess I'll get back to that venture you assigned me. | That was not worth my time. | I'll take care of it, madam/sir, don't you worry! |

| Entering | Yes, madam/sir? What is your bidding? | What's on the agenda, chief? Deprivin' saps o' their hard-earned gil? | I have come. You may proceed. | Oh, hello there. To what do I owe the pleasure? | I am come to conduct business, and only business. | You look to be in good health, madam/sir. How may I assist you this fine morn/day/eve? |
| Entering (on Venture) | You have additional orders, madam/sir? | Tell me you ain't got somethin' else for me, chief! | You have interrupted my venture. Proceed. | I'm here now, so... | You interrupt my task. Why? | Apologies for the delay, madam/sir! |
| Entering (Venture complete) | Madam/Sir, your venture is complete. | Got somethin' for you, chief! | I have come with your goods. | I took care of that venture for you. | You wish to hear my report? | Ahhh, now that was fun! |
| Leaving | As always, madam/sir, it has been an honor and a privilege. | You can count on me, chief─I know how to get things done. | Don't be a stranger. | I swear it shall be done. Eventually. | As you wish. | Capital! I shall carry out your orders forthwith. |
| Leaving (on Venture) | As you wish, madam/sir. | Don't forget that I'm busy with this venture o' yours, chief! | I must go. | Sure, sure. | I have work to do. | Understood, madam/sir! Oh, and fear not─the venture shall be completed on time! |
| Accepting Venture | I shall not fail you, madam/sir. | No need to worry, chief─this is where I shine. | Leave it to me. | Whatever you say. | Good. I prefer to work alone. | Ahhh, I do so enjoy the occasional excursion! |
| Completing Venture | It was my pleasure, madam/sir. | A rousin' success, if I do say so myself. | Enough? | It's all yours. Enjoy. | I trust you have no complaints? Good. | What I wouldn't give to do this all the time! |

| Entering | What is it you would have me do, milady/milord? | Usually, it's me doin' the summons and others doin' the waitin'. | Is there something that I can help you with? | Oh, why must you summon me at a time like this...? | I'm sure there is a perfectly good explanation for this summons. | You know, I thought you might be along to summon me. You may rest assured that I am ready and eager to serve. |
| Entering (on Venture) | Milady/Milord has another task for me? | I'm a little busy, but what is it? | Was there something else? | Summons? Now? Well, if you insist. | You do know how this works, right? You assign me a venture and then leave me to my task. | Missed me, didn't you? |
| Entering (Venture complete) | I come with good tidings, milady/milord. | This about the venture? I took care of it. | There you are! I've brought what you requested. | Oh, it's you. I suppose you'll want to hear about the venture. | Let's get on with it, shall we? | I've been waiting for your summons. |
| Leaving | I humbly await your next summons, milady/milord. | Don't leave me alone for too long, hear? | Always a pleasure. | That will be all, yes? Then if you would excuse me... | I believe that concludes our dealings for now. | Are you certain you don't desire anything else? Anything at all? Very well, I shall take my leave. |
| Leaving (on Venture) | I shall carry out milady/milord's wishes to the best of my ability. | We finished? That venture's not goin' to finish itself. | All right, then. | If you would excuse me, I have a venture to finish. | Unless it is urgent, do not summon me during a venture again. | Are we finished already? Oh... |
| Accepting Venture | As you ask, so shall it be done, milady/milord. | Work to be done, eh? All right, then. | I'll take care of everything. | A venture? Now? Well, if you insist. | I am well aware of how this works. | That sounds like fun! You'll be joining me, yes? No? Oh. |
| Completing Venture | Does it please you, milady/milord? | One day it'll be me givin' the orders. | Let me know when you want me to handle another. | A thoroughly pedestrian result, I'm afraid. I would understand if you decided not to assign me ventures henceforth. | And there you have it. | I live to serve. |

I've got a pretty little thing that's waitin' for me. | What? | I'm here, I'm here! |
| Entering (on Venture) | Hail to thee, madam/sir. Your humble servant has set aside his task and hastened to your side. | Why'd ye call me back from me venture, milady/milord? | This really isn't the best time. | I thought you were going to let me do this my way? | What!? | I'm back, I'm back! |

| Leaving | Your every whim shall be swiftly carried out with due care and consideration. | Shouldn't take more than a moment, milady/milord. | I'll be going, then. | Thank the gods we're finished. I've got plans to put my hands in places I've never seen...if you know what I mean. | Be well. | I'm off, I'm off! |
| Leaving (on Venture) | Do not hesitate to call on me again, madam/sir. | I'll do what I can, milady/milord. | Back to my venture, then. | I can't keep runnin' back to see you during these ventures, you know. | Fine. | I'll go, I'll go! |
| Accepting Venture | You will not be disappointed, madam/sir. | You got it, milady/milord. | That's it? All right. | Hope you ain't expectin' me to rush. I wanna take it nice and slow. | I think I can manage from here. | I'll do it, I'll do it! |

| Entering (on Venture) | How may I serve you, Mistress/Master? | Did somethin' 'appen, dearie? | What's all this, then? Another chance for mischief? | <yawn> Just so you know, I was busy carrying out your tasks. | This had better be important. | Whaaat is it? |

| Leaving | Until we meet again! | Blessin's o' the Twelve upon ye. | May Nald'thal see fit to fatten our pockets! | Very good, madam/sir! Your wish is my command, and so forth. | You know how to reach me. | Is it time for good-byes already? I'm going to miss you... |
| Leaving (on Venture) | As ever, it is an honor, Mistress/Master. | So much to do, so little time! | We'd best see to our respective tasks, eh? | Don't summon me, I'll summon you. | <sigh> I am not getting paid enough for this. | We'll talk again soon! |
| Accepting Venture | It is an honor to serve you, Mistress/Master. | Is that all? A triflin' task! | If there's profit to be made, I'll make it. | My every waking minute will be spent working on your behalf, et cetera. | Fine...for now. But you're asking a bit much, considering what I'm paid. | Time to shine, hee hee! |
| Completing Venture | My only regret is that I could not return sooner. | Go on, dearie, take it! | 'Twas a most profitable venture, I'd say. | Always a pleasure to serve, and so on and so forth. | You're welcome. | Some of my finest work yet! |

| Entering | How may I be of serrrvice, madam/sir? | It's a war out there, miss/sir. You have no idea. | ... | Business or pleasure? | I presume you did not summon me solely for the pleasure of my company. | Just the fair maiden/handsome fellow I was hoping to see! Tell me your heart's desire. |
| Entering (on Venture) | I have rrreturned, madam/sir. | Miss/Sir, you mustn't interrupt a soldier when he's on a mission! | ... | You would burden me with additional tasks? | I thought I asked you to leave me to my task? | You require additional services? |
| Entering (Venture complete) | My rrreport is rrready, madam/sir. | Mission accomplished, miss/sir! | ... | May I leave after making my report? No? <sigh> | I have prepared a formal report. | Am I to deliver my report now, or shall we discuss other matters first? |

You can count on me, madam/sir. | ... | Why so serrrious? <sigh> So it goes. | I hardly think that warranted my personal appearance, but what is done is done. | Then I have satisfied your every need?

| Entering (on Venture) | Forgive me, madam/sirrr, but your catcall comes at an inopportune time. | Damn, just when I was startin' to enjoy meself! | A cat must be allowed to focus on her task. | You know I've not finished the venture yet, rrright? | Mind explainin' what this is about? | You know, you shouldn't summon me when I'm in the middle of a venture! |
| Entering (Venture complete) | This cat has brought you a present, madam/sirrr... | Ye want to hear the whole story, or just read the report? | 'Twas naught more than a rrroutine task. | I did my very best, just like I said. | Everythin' you need to know is in the report. | I have so much to tell you! |

| Accepting Venture | It shall be done forthwith, madam/sirrr. | Ah, I was in the mood for a jaunt outside! | You needn't say another worrrd. | I'll start now, if that's what you want. | Not quite adventurin', but it's close enough. | I'll do anything you say, exactly as you say. |

| Entering | Greetings, madam/sir. How may I be of service? | What'll it be, miss/mate? | State your business. | And how does this wonderful day/evening find you? | Well... Here I am...Mistress/Master. | We work the market stalls,♪ And our uniforms are pretty;♪ We are sober men and true,♪ And attentive to our duties!♪ |
| Entering (on Venture) | Is aught amiss, madam/sir? | Something on your mind, miss/mate? | I have a life outside of you, you know. | Let me tell you, it was absolute chaos out there. Quite frankly, I'm lucky to be alive! But I heard your call, and I knew I had to answer. | Worried about your venture? Don't be. Or have you some other reason for summoning me? | Fair moon, to thee I sing,♪ Bright regent of the heavens,♪ Say, why is everything♪ Either at sixes or at sevens?♪ |
| Entering (Venture complete) | It pleases me to inform you that the venture is complete. | Guess what I've got for you! No, really. Guess! | I renew my objection to that pointless endeavor. Informally now and by affidavit later. | You know, I think I'm starting to get the hang of this. | Per your orders, I have completed the venture...Mistress/Master. | For he himself has said it,♪ And it's greatly to his credit,♪ That he is a retainer!♪ He remains a retainer!♪ |
| Leaving | If there is nothing else, then I shall take my leave. | Is that all? Guess I'll be on my way, then. | Any last requests? Very well. Heh heh heh... Ahem. | Ah, yes, of course. Duty calls! | You are finished with me, then? | Here today and gone tomorrow;♪ Yes, I know─♪ That is so!♪ |
| Leaving (on Venture) | Then if you would excuse me, I should return to my venture. | Right, then. I ought to be getting back to that thing of yours. “Venture,” was it...? | We shall meet again, old friend. But now I must steal away into the night. | If I don't make it back, I just want you to know... Eh, the hells with it. I'll tell you next time. | As you wish...Mistress/Master. | I must wander to and fro;♪ But wherever I may go,♪ I shall never be untrue to thee!♪ |
| Accepting Venture | Neither rain nor sleet nor ferocious beasts shall keep me from my task. | Venture, eh? Ain't nothin' to it. | Oh, I'll get busy. I'll get very busy, indeed. | What? I mean, I'm flattered you think I can handle it, but... | I don't recall this being part of my contract... | A simple retainer, lowly born,♪ Unlettered and unknown,♪ Who toils for bread from early morn,♪ Till half the night has flown!♪ |
| Completing Venture | I pray that you are pleased with the result, madam/sir. | Bet you weren't expecting that now, were you? | Ah, for the days when ventures were a gentleman's pursuit... | If you don't mind me saying, I think I did rather well. | I will be expected to do this again, I gather. | Can I survive this overbearing,♪ Or live a life of mad despairing,♪ My proffered goods despised, rejected?♪ No, no, it's not to be expected!♪ |
