Robin:
...Vaike? What are you up to out here?
Vaike:
Eh? Me? Up to? Nothin'! Har har! Yessir, just a whooole lot of nothin'. Oh, lookie there! Pretty flowers! I sure do love me a pretty flower, don't you? Yep! Love 'em. All of 'em! ...Say what's your favorite flower, Robin?
Robin:
...Okay, now I KNOW you're up to something.
Vaike:
Har har! Nope, not me! Just lookin' at all them pretty flowers is all. Nice, ain't they?
Robin:
Liar. You're trying to see who's bathing in the spring over there.
Vaike:
S-spring? There's a spring? Why, I had NO idea!
Robin:
Don't play dumb with me, Vaike! Now stop leering and get back to camp.
Vaike:
Aw, come on now! You're a man! You know how it is! Don't you ever—
Robin:
No. I don't. ...Thank the gods.
Vaike:
Right little goody two-shoes, ain't ya? Interrupting my fun just when... Oh, fine. Guess I'm done lookin' at flowers. But don't think you can keep me— Huh? What's that?
Robin:
That's Sully's horse isn't it? Gods, but it's a fierce-looking brute. Do you see how it's glaring at us? It's almost as if it thinks...
Vaike:
IT'S GONNA CHARGE! RUN! RUN FOR YOUR LIIIIIIIFE!
Robin:
B-but I didn't do anything! Gyaaaaaa!

Vaike:
Har! It's the Vaike's lucky day! Sully's horse is dozin' away, and that meddling little—
Robin:
Meddling little...what?
Vaike:
Blast! You again? Er, I mean... Oh, look! A four-leaf clover! Lucky me!
Robin:
For that lie to work, you actually need to have a four-leaf clover. You were spying on bathing women again, weren't you?! Don't deny it!
Vaike:
I DO deny it! ...Besides, what are YOU doing skulkin' around the bushes?
Robin:
I was collecting elderberries. For tea. Not that it's any concern of yours! Now keep your voice down! You might wake up Sully's devil steed.
Vaike:
What do you care if it wakes? I'm the one he's got it in for.
Robin:
Not anymore, thanks to you! Ever since that time I caught you snooping, the beast has made me its sworn enemy. If I get within half a league, it's after me like a hound from hell!
Vaike:
Har har! So the beast has the evil eye for Lord Goody Two-Shoes himself? There's a word for that... What is it... Tip of my tongue... Oh, I know! ...IRONIC! HAR HAR!
Robin:
Frankly, being tarred with the same brush as you is punishment enough. In any case, neither of us want to be here if that horse wakes up. Come on, let's get back to camp.
Vaike:
...Curses, I truly thought today was going to be the Vaike's lucky... Wait. That evil horse—it's gone!
Robin:
V-Vaike... D-don't turn around... It's right...behind you...
Vaike:
It's...b-behind me? ARRRRRRRRRRRRGH! RUUUUUUUN! FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT'S GOOD AND HOLY, RUUUUUUUUUUUUN!
Robin:
WHY MEEEEEEEEE?!

Robin:
Hey, Vaike. Why the long face?
Vaike:
...Oh. Hello, Robin. So, uh...I've been thinkin'. The Vaike's caused ya a lot of grief. I feel bad about it.
Robin:
It's not like you to be so introspective. Why does it worry me...
Vaike:
Well, I was having a bath—you know, down by the spring—and well... These ladies appeared outta nowhere and started pointin' and laughin' at poor Teach! I was stark naked, with my clothes hung up on the far side of the creek! I reckon they were gettin' revenge for those times I...accidentally spied on 'em.
Robin:
Huh.
Vaike:
And that blasted horse was there, grinnin' like a rabid crocodile! It was humiliatin'!
Robin:
Well, that does sound unpleasant. Even if you only have yourself to blame. One might even call it... Oh, what's the word? Ah, yes: ironic! In any case, can we please assume that you've finally learned your lesson?
Vaike:
Yeah, now that I know what it's like to be the victim, the Vaike's spyin' days are over.
Robin:
Good. I think when you look back on this later, you'll be glad it happened. But, come. No use moping about what's done. The Shepherds need their Teach. They need his passion and his willingness to take on anything or anyone, damn the odds!
Vaike:
Har har. Now that's the truth! ...You're all right, Robin. A good friend through and through.
Robin:
You...consider me a friend?
Vaike:
Darn right! You're in the Vaike circle of trust. Not many folk earn that privilege! ...But now that we're friends and all, that means we can ask each other favors.
Robin:
Favors? Well, I suppose if there's something—
Vaike:
I've given up spying, but I owe those girls a good scare! No one makes a mockery of Teach and gets away with it! So put your thinkin' cap on and brew up some kinda revenge scheme, okay? Maybe some way to dump puddin' on their heads or somethin'.
Robin:
Pudding, Vaike? Honestly?
