Valentine's Day in Rune Factory 4

Valentine's Day in Rune Factory 4 falls on 12 Autumn when your Character is a Girl.  All the female Characters should give you Cookies.  You can return them if you like or you can give them Cookies that are 'Original', in other words, made by you.  I gave 'Original' Cookies to all the Eligible Bachelors and regifted Cookies to all the women and some of the men who are not eligible for marriage but frankly, it did not appear to make ANY difference whatsoever whether one gave regifted Cookies, 'Original' Cookies or Chocolate Cookies, unlike Gifts given on other days. 

On 11 Autumn:

Dolce:  Valentine's Day...
Pico:  Have you made some cookies for Jones yet, milady?
Dolce:  Some...

Illuminata:  Tomorrow is Valentine's Day.  Who are you going to give a cookie to, Freya?

Lin Fa:  Opportunities are very important, aren't they?

My choices:  Huh?
Well, yeah.

Well, yeah.
Lin Fa:  You have to be quick, you know.  After all, tomorrow is Valentine's Day.

Arthur:  Tomorrow is Valentine's Day.  Have you finished preparing it, Freya?

Leon:  Ah, it's you.  I've heard many interesting rumours about tomorrow's festival.  Sounds like a fun day to mess with some one.

Kiel:  Valentine's Day is tomorrow  I'm going to bake the tastiest sweets I can!
Freya:  Wait, YOU are, Kiel?

Margaret:  Valentine's Day is tomorrow.  You might not guess it, but I'm really good at baking cookies.

Some individuals will advise you to ask your 'lover' on a date and tell you that Cookies given during a date will have more effect, but at 7 Hearts, no eligible bachelor would accept Freya's invitation in the first year.

Volkanon:  Valentine's Day will soon be here.  Miss Freya, if there is some one you wish to give a present to... Today would be a splendid day to ask that person on a date.   If you give them a present whilst on a date, your offering will be that much sweeter.

On the actual day of the Festival, which was 12 Autumn, Freya gave Cookies to EVERY ONE apart from Ventiswill who, alas, was sound asleep.

Here are all the Responses:

Vishnal: ... ...
Freya:  Calm down already.
For Cookie:  Hmm?  Is this for me?  I'm honoured!
Freya:  I don't think I did a very good job with it, so it might not be all that tasty...
Vishnal:  Oh, I'm certain it will be delicious! ** MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH**
Freya:  What, you're going to eat it now?
Vishnal:  of course!  Mmm!  Just as I thought, it's delicious!
Freya:  Oh, good!  I'm glad.
Vishnal:  And here I thought I had received the last of the year from Mr. Volkanon.  But you were kind enough to save some for me too.  I'm very happy!

Volkanon:  If you've made cookies, do not forget to give them out.  It is difficult to express your feelings if you forget to hand out your present.
For Cookie:  My, my, Miss Freya!  Is this for me?  Ho ho ho!  Even at my age, life can still hold surprises.  I... I...  WAAAAAAAH!!!

Nancy;  Hi, Freya.  You're up early.  Today is Valentine's Day.  A day when girls can express how they feel to that special person in their life.  And so... ... here, Freya.  This is for you.
Freya:  Huh?
Nancy:  It's a friendship Cookie.

I gave her a cookie I had baked.
Nancy:  Oh my, is this for me?  Thank you.  Have you already given one to the person most special to you?  Don't let yourself stay confused too long, now!  Push on!  If you fall, fall forward!

Forte:  Ah!  Hello, Freya.  Here.  This is a small token of my gratitude for all that you've done for me.
Xiao Pai:  Every one will be giving presents today, yes?  Who to?
Forte:  To my brother.
Margaret:  I'm giving something to Porco.
Clorica:  I have something for Vishnal and Mr. Volkanon.
Amber:  Ooh!  Ooh!  I'm going to give a present to Ellie!
Pico:  you of course have a present for me, right, milday?
Dolce:  Well, I was going to give you something... if you'd stayed quiet.  But too late now...
Pico:  No!  Have I been foiled?!
Xiao Pai:  Hmph.  Every one is giving safe answers.  Will you be giving today Freya?

My choices: You bet!
Nope.

You bet!
Margaret:  REally?  Ooh, to whom?
Clorica:  Be honest, now.  Lying won't get you anywhere.
Forte:  Coe on, every one.  We mustn't press too hard... thugh I am curious as well.  Aham.

Gave Cookie to Dolce:  A Cookie?  So you want to give one to me too?
PIco"  On strange days like today, people will give you strange presents, milady.
Dolce:  Well, there's no point in overthinking it.  Thank you.

I spoke to her again.
Dolce:  Here, you can have one, too.  I made too many.  If you don't want it, just throw it away.

Gave it to Amber:

Amber:  Oooh, a Cookie!   Huh?  Is this for me?  Even though it's Valentine's Day?

My choices:

Yeah.
It's not for Valentine's Day.

Yeah.
Amber:  Thanks!  I love it!

I spoke to her again.

Amber:  Oh, Freya, I have one for you too.  Here.  Have this Cookie.  I'm giving them out to every one who's helped me out.

Gave it to Margaret:

Margaret:  Oh, wow, a Cookie!  Is that for me?  Thanks!  Hee hee... I got one from Freya!

Clorica:  Here you go, Freya.  I hope you don't mind if it's a little sweet.  I like my sweets really sweet....

Margaret:  Here, Freya.  For you.  Now to give some to every one else.  Especially Forte.  She loves sweet things.

Clorica:  Is this for me?  Ooh!  I love getting cookies from friends!  Thank you.

Forte:  Its seems Keil made a little too much earlier.  Rather than waste it, I brought some along.
Freya:  You seem pretty happy about that.

Forte for Cookie:  Hmm?  Is this for me?  Why, thank you!  No matter how old one gets, it's always nice to receive presents.

Bado:  Oh yeah.  Today's Valentine's Day, isn't it?  Did you give a present to the one person you really wanted to already?

Blossom:  Ah, there you are.  Here, Freya.  This Cookie is for you.
Freya:  Really?
Blossom Yes.  What, disappointed to get one from an old biddy like me?
Freya:  No, of course not.  Thank you.
Blossom:  Oh good.  I'm glad.

Leon:  Ah, it's you.
Freya:  My name is Freya.  You could try using it sometime.
Leon:  I will.  When I feel like it.
Gave him Chocolate Cookie:
Leon:  Hmm?  This is...
My choices:
Cos we're bros for life.
You're special to me.

Freya:  You're special to me.
Leon:  Then... that means...
Freya: ...
Leon:  I see.  My.  I guess even I can feel a little flustered occasionally.

Gave Cookie to Porco:

Porco:  Freya!  I-is this a ...a  c-c-c-c-coo... cooooo --
My choices:

Porco:  Nooo!

Porco:  Today I am prepared to receive not one Cookie, but dozens!  Now come, throw yourself into my arms with lscious words of love!

My choices:  Thanks but no thanks.
Tackle him.

Thanks but no thanks.
Nnnoooooo!!!1

Arthur:  Today is Valentine's Day.  I received several gifts in my shop today.  Many came from preferred clients, and there were even a few from clients' daughters.  They were, in the end, simply seasonal greetings, but I am pleased to have gotten them.

Gave him Cookie.

Arthur:  What?  Is this for me?  Erm, today is Valentine's Day, is it not?

My choises:
Season's greetings!
You mean a lot to me.
It's just a present.

You mean a lot to me.
Arthur:  R-really?  Erm... thank you.  I... well...  I'm very... very happy.

Dylas:  Today's special, right?  Porcoline's been real calm about it... For Porcoline.
Gave him a Cookie.
Dylas:  Hmm?  Is this for me?

My choices:
As a friend, yeah.
You're a special friend.
You mean a lot to me.

You're a special friend.
Dylas:  A special... huh?  Can't say I understand, but it looks well-made.  I guess I'll take it.

Kiel:  Heh heh!  I've already made a really good batch!
Vishnal:  I wonder who's going to give how much to whom.
Dylas:  You sound like you're having fun, Vishnal.
Vishnal:  Huh?  N-no, not really!
Doug:  Hey, why don't we try to guess which of us is gonna get the most?
Arthur:  Amongst us?
Kiel:  Hmm... in that case...
Leon:  I would expect it to be ARthur.  He has quite a few contacts.
Arthur:  But none very well-versed in this town's unique events.  Perosnally, i htink it may be Leon.
Kiel:  Me too!
Vishnal:  Maybe it will be Kiel.
KUiel:  Huh?  Me?
Dylas;  All we can say for usure is that Doug will get none.
Doug:  Right back at you.
Vishnal:  What do you think, Princess?

My choices:
Vishnal
Keil
Arthur
Doug
Dylas
Leon

Chose Leon.
Leon:  Hmm?  Me?  Well, if you really think so...  But in the end, it's not the quantity, it's the quality.

Gave Cookie to Kiel.
Kiel:  Huh?  This is for me?

My choices:
Yep!
Nope!
Yes, You're special to me.

You're special to me.
Kiel:  Wh-what?  You mean that...?
Freya: ...
KIel: ...  Um, thank you.
Freya:  You're welcome.
Kiel:  I , um, don't know if I can eat this now. I t's too special.
Freya:  Ah ha ha...
Kiel:  Thanks.  I'll treasure it.
Freya:  No, no, go ahead and eat it.  Seriously.

Gave Cookie to Doug:

Doug:  Wait, is that for me?
Freya:  Yeah.
Doug:  Really?
Freya:  Yeah.

Doug:  Is it edible/
Freya:  Hey!  If you don't want it, say so.  I'll just eat it myself!
Doug:  Oh no, you don't!  You gave it to me!  So I get to eat it.
Freya:  ... Ah.  Well, i hope you like it.
Doug:  What, is it gonna taste bad or something?
Freya:  It'll taste fine!
Doug:  Oh....
Freay:  Sheesh!
Doug:  Freya...?  Um... thanks.

Blossom:  Oh my!  Is this for me?  I'm flattered you'd think to give one to me.  Have you given one to the person you love yet?

My choices:
Not yet.
Yes.
Livin/ up the single life!

If I choose yes:
Blossom:  I see.  And you still thought of me!  THank you for the Cookie.  I'll enjoy it later.

Jones:  Nancy has been figety all day.  And, come to think of it, Dolce seemed antsy as well.  I wonder what has gotten into them?

Gave him my last Cookie.
Jones:  That's right,, today is Valenitne's Day, isn't it?  Thank you.  I will enjoy it later.

If I give Raven a Cookie, she only says 'Thanks.' so I don't think it counts.

Lin Fa:  Oh there you are!  You get one too, Freya.  Think of this as my thanks for everything you do for us.  I hope you like it.

For Cookie:  Oh my!  Thank you.  This is a frindship cookie, correct?  Xiao Pi worked so hard yesterday baking hers.  Maybe next year sh'll finally be good enough to succeeed!
Freya:  Huh?

Illuminata:  Here you go, Freya.  A Valentine's Cookie especially from me.
Freya:  Thank you.
Illuminata;  You're welcome.  Enjoy!

For Cookie:
Illuminata:  Well, well!  Is this for me?
Freya:  Yes.
Illuminata:  Ah ha!  Someone turned it down already?

My choices:  No, that's not it.
...

Oh, okay.  In that case, I can enjoy this with an easy heart.

Bado:  Hmm?  Is this for me?  Thanks!  I appreciate it.  But I bet you've got some one you actually want to give one to, right?

Clorica:  Now to give the rest to every one in town.  Oh, and I can't forget to give some to Lady Ventiswill, too.

Amber:  I heard that today is a day to hand out homemade cookies to every one.  I hope every one likes the ones I made.

Margaret:  Porco made a veritable Cookie Mountain. ..  All for himself, of course.

If your Character is a male, White Day on 25 Autumn is the equivalent.  As Volkanon will declare on 24 Autumn:  It is a day when gentlemen will present ladies with a homemade Cookie.  And any gentleman might take the chance to ask the lady on a date.  It is most effective.

Leon:  White Day...?  I'm not quite used to this particular custom yet.

Kiel:  I've got to make a whole bunch of sweets for tomorrow.  See, it's White Day tomorrow.

Porcoline:  Tomorrow is White Day.  It is a festival where gentlemen give scrumptious cookies to the ladies they like.  Gentlemen might even ask their lover on a date and present it then.  And the girls will simply LOVE it! ... Be ready, Freya.

Freya:  Huh?

Margaret:  Tomorrow is White Day.  Porco's really outdone himself this year! ... So be careful, okay?
Freya:  Of what?

Nancy:  I wonder what Jones will have for me tomorrow.  It is White Day, after all.

Vishnal:  I've made a whole lot of sweets for tomorrow.  There will be some for you, of course, Princess!

Illuminata:  Tomorrow is White Day!  I wonder who you'll give one to?
Freya: Me?  Are you going to hand some out, Illuminata?
Illuminata:  Hey!  Are you saying there's something wrong with me participating, too?
