[Bandor]

So I wrote up a simple quest for one of my npcs modeled of another quest I know is working. And for whatever reason Im getting his first 2 lines of text upon hailing. All responses are working however. Any ideas how to fix this slight annoyance?

#Quest file for Mesa - Bridle Apprentice

sub EVENT_SAY {
  if($text=~/hail/i) {
    quest::say("Hail $class. Do you seek to earn a [bridle]");
  }
  if($text=~/bridle/i) {
    quest::say("I suspect, as most of us these days,that you are a bit low on platinum? Well no need to worry! Simply handle a...well,[situation] for me");
  }
  if($text=~/situation/i) {
    quest::say("I have a high intolerance for the Tuffien these days. If you would be willing to bring me back one of their hides I will be willing to [reward] you");
	}
if($text=~/reward/i) {
    quest::say("Bring me back any color hide and I will give you the corresponding bridle");
  }
	}

	sub EVENT_ITEM { 
	if(plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 0 => 1)){ # Black Tuffien Hide
		quest::summonitem(21810); # Black Rope Bridle*
	}
  elsif (plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 0 => 1, 13317 => 1)) { # White Tuffien Hide
  quest::summonitem(21805); # White Rope Bridle*
	}
	elsif (plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 0 => 1, 13317 => 1)) { # Tan Tuffien Hide
  quest::summonitem(21800); # Tan Rope Bridle*
	}
	elsif (plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 0 => 1, 13317 => 1)) { # Brown Tuffien Hide
  quest::summonitem(21815); # Brown Rope Bridle*
	}
	}
