Bantu and Tiki 1

Bantu:
Tiki, my child.

Tiki:
Oh, Ban-Ban!

Bantu:
Are you having a fun time with everyone?

Tiki:
Yes! I'm having so, so much fun!

Bantu:
Ooh, that's good to hear. It's very important you're having fun.

Tiki:
Oh, but...

Bantu:
Hmm? Is something the matter, child?

Tiki:
A while I ago, I, umm... I broke Mar-Mar's precious mirror......

Bantu:
Oh dear... That's a bad thing you did.

Tiki:
Yes. I did something bad...

Bantu:
So, what did you do after that, child?

Tiki:
Oh... Mmm. I told him. I said "I'm sorry" to Mar-Mar.

Bantu:
...And then, Prince Marth forgave you.

Tiki:
...Yes.

Bantu:
I see, I see. ...Good, good You're a good girl, Tiki.

Tiki:
Huh? I'm a good girl?

Bantu:
That's right.

Tiki:
And if I'm a good girl, I can live together with everyone?

Bantu:
Yes... Of course you can, child.

Tiki:
Really!? Then, I'll stay a good girl!

Bantu:
That's good of you. In that case, I'll be relieved, too...

Bantu and Tiki 2

Tiki:
...So, afterwards... We'll live together... Me and Mar-Mar. And of course, Ban-Ban too!

Bantu:
Hoho, sounds like we'll be one busy family. ...By the way, Tiki.

Tiki:
What is it, Ban-Ban?

Bantu:
Have you had those dreams as of late?

Tiki:
Dreams...? No... I haven't had those scary dreams anymore.

Bantu:
...Splendid.

Tiki:
Oh, that's right! I saw you in my dream last night, Ban-Ban! You were in your human form and yet you were sooo big! I rode on your back and waved my hand to everyone!

Bantu:
I see, I see... Sounds like a fun dream.

Tiki:
Yes... It was... fun...

Bantu:
Oh, child, I see it's your bedtime already. Time for you to return to your room. But, will you... be alright alone? There's something I have to do.

Tiki:
Yes! I can go back myself.

Bantu:
... I wonder if it's about time...

Bantu and Tiki 3

Bantu:
...Tiki, my child. Listen well.

Tiki:
Yes. What is it, Ban-Ban?

Bantu:
In this world, there are many dragonkin like ourselves. And among them, there are those who are suffering, alone.

Tiki:
...Just like I used to be?

Bantu:
Yes, child. That's why I've been thinking of going to meet them.

Tiki:
Huh? Then, me too...

Bantu:
...This will be a most perilous journey. Ever since the Medeus episode, man has started to view us Manaketes as dangerous. And therefore, no matter the reason, we must not wield our dragonstone. So, we have no choice but to stand between man and Manakete.

Tiki:
...

Bantu:
Tiki, once this war is over... I'll arrange it so you'll live in the palace town.

Tiki:
No! I don't wanna. I want to stay with you, Ban-Ban! Besides, you promised, remember! Once this war is over, you promised we'd go shopping together, and you'd cook for me!

Bantu:
...I'm terribly sorry, child. Your Ban-Ban is a naughty boy.

Tiki:
That's not fair! I'm going with you!

Bantu:
It isn't like we'll be apart forever. That's right. I'm sure I'll be back when you're a bit taller.

Tiki:
Huh... How tall?

Bantu:
Hmm? I guess... about my height.

Tiki:
Okay... Then, I'll transform and become bigger right now.

Bantu:
W-wait, Tiki!

Tiki:
...Sorry, I lied.

Bantu:
Heavens above. Don't startle me like that...

Tiki:
I'm sorry, Ban-Ban...

Bantu:
You were afraid of being alone, weren't you? I'm sorry. This is something only I can do... Will you be able to cope?

Tiki:
Uh-huh... It's okay. I have everyone with me. Besides, I'm a good girl!
