Emotes:

angrily     calmly       cautiously       cheerfully   coldly
confidently coyly        curtly           darkly       dreamily
dryly       emphatically enigmatically    excitedly    firmly
greedily    grumpily     guardedly        haggardly    happily
harshly     hauntingly   helplessly       hesitantly   hopefully
hopelessly  innocently   kindly           laughingly   longingly
loudly      lovingly     matter-of-factly meekly       mischievously
mockingly   nervously    painfully        patiently    playfully
quietly     rancidly     regretfully      sadly        sarcastically
sheepishly  slowly       smugly           softly       sternly
sweetly     teasingly    tenderly         tiredly      weakly
wistfully   wryly
