"My marriage will not be kept up by such a poorly chosen gift. What do you suggest?"
Lucas reads a note from your [husband/wife]. "[Your Spouse] sends a dutiful note, my [lord/lady]. With it, [he/she] includes a practical gift of Ale."
"Tell my [husband/wife] to provide me with Bacon if [he/she] truly wishes to appease me."
"I accept the Ale from [Your Spouse]. Send [him/her] the necessary note of thanks."
"What does it mean to accept Ale from my [husband/wife]?"
Lucas responds. "If you accept the dutiful tribute, the Ale will be yours and [Your Spouse] will have fulfilled [his/her] obligation as your [husband/wife]."
Lucas furrows his brow. "[Your Spouse] underestimated your value. Offer [him/her] a chance at redemption, and your [husband/wife] will likely atone."
