////Telly's Corrupting Cuddle! Req having 100+ corruption and having hugged her already this visit. [Hug]
You feel insatiable today! Another hug is needed right away, and you've already pulled out 20 more gems to pay for it. Telly giggles happily and says, [say:What am I going to doing if I run out of stock?]

Clearly, hug stocks are up, as she's quick to embrace you again. Her thin little arms squeeze with apparent strain, but only feel all the more comfortable. Telly pulls her head back and looks at you. [say:[Mister], you're getting all fluttery inside! I think you need a break before a hug overdose!]

[Stop].tooltip="Somehow, her words sink in and give you the will to stop." [Hug].tooltip="Her words fall on deaf ears! Costs: [player.gemcount]"
///Stop
Flabbergasted, you can't help but do as she says despite the absurd suggestion. Why ever would you stop nestling into this wonderful little girl? The bewilderment slowly passes as the shopkeeper giggles more.

[say:Thank you for your patronage!] Telly says with a bright smile.
///Hug
Impossible! Nonsensical! You pull out another 20 gems--no, 40! 80! You toss your entire wallet onto the counter and embrace Telly more fiercely than ever and rock the laughing little girl side to side with glee! Telly returns the squeeze, and dizziness mixes with adrenaline inside you.

You blink and find yourself on the floor, staring down at Telly beneath you. Her golden locks are a little frazzled, and your arms are throbbing with power. [say:Come back to reality, [mister]!] the merchant says with a musical cadence, seemingly unbothered. [say:Another hug like that and you might hurt me!]

A black-out. Disoriented, you rise and look around the shop, and things seem to be intact--but how much time did you lose?

Telly pats herself down and calls for you, stealing your attention instantly. There, in her hands, is a magnificent and beautiful crystal. [say:Isn't [he] pretty?] Telly asks. [say:And so strong too! Even Lethice would be impressed!] The pieces lock together in your head, but you can't utter a word. Telly comes closer and stares longingly into your eyes, your lethicite held between you both.

You are in love.
