Donnel:
You mind if I ask ya a question here, Cherche?

Cherche:
Go ahead.

Donnel:
I hear there's a girl in Valm what can whup a wyvern in a fight. That true?

Cherche:
I assume you mean a human girl? If so, I doubt it. I've certainly never heard of such an extraordinary person.

Donnel:
Haw! Yeah, I figured it was just some fool spinnin' tales.

Cherche:
Who told you this, anyway?

Donnel:
Some old merchant what claimed he'd been travelin' back and forth to Valm. He used to visit our village to sell goodies. Tonics what make ya taller and the like. It was quite a tale he told, though. 'Bout the wyvern girl, I mean. 'Parently, she wandered into Wyvern Valley when she was only nine! She whupped up on a wyvern there and then rode the poor fella all the way home. Haw, guess that tale's worth as much as the dang tonic he sold me. I mean, what sad excuse for a wyvern would go and get tamed by a little girl?

>Minerva roars

Cherche:
Minerva? What's the matter?

Donnel:
Don't reckon it was somethin' I said, do ya?

Cherche:
I can't imagine what it might— Minerva, stop that at once! You mustn't eat poor Donnel!

Donnel:
YEE-IKES! Yer beast is crazy, lady! I'm gonna make like a chicken and fly!

Cherche:
Minerva! Bad wyvern! What has gotten into you?

B Support

Cherche:
Er, Donnel. About our last conversation... I think I know who the girl in that story might have been.

Donnel:
Huh? But I thought we decided it was a load of horse pucky?

Cherche:
Yes, except... Well, all the events in the story happened to me.

Donnel:
You?!

Cherche:
Yes. I believe the old man's story is about the first time I met little Minerva. Heh. I never thought the tale would be recounted across the land!

Donnel:
So you's the legendary wyvern-subjugatin' gal?

Cherche:
You sound disappointed. Not what you were expecting?

Donnel:
Gosh, no! I'm thrilled to bits! Even got the goose bumps on my arm!

Cherche:
So you have.

Donnel:
I don't reckon you'd mind if I maybe hung out with ya for a spell? ...Wouldja?

Cherche:
Why?

Donnel:
'Cause if I watch ya, I could try'n learn how to be as famous as you! Whuppin' wyverns, tamin' wild beasts... Why, gals'll be swoonin' at my feet!

Cherche:
Well, I'm not sure. We'll have to see what Minerva thinks. ...Well, girl?

>Minerva roars

Cherche:
...You have her permission.

Donnel:
Yee-haw! This'll be swell!

Cherche:
You don't mind being so close to Minerva, do you? She rarely leaves my side.

Donnel:
Well, I've worked with livestock 'fore, so I reckon I can get used to it.

A Support

Donnel:
Cherche, I've done yer laundry and finished yer mendin'!

Cherche:
Thank you, Donny. Also, it's feeding time for Minerva. Would you mind seeing to her?

Donnel:
Okeydoke! ...Hey there, girl! How ya doin'? Gosh, look at all'a them teeth. You sure are a fierce one! I can't believe you really let a little nine-year-old put a whuppin' on you...

>Minerva roars

Donnel:
Oh, gotcha. You're busy eatin'. I'll leave ya to it.

Cherche:
Heh. You two are getting along famously now.

Donnel:
I made sure to do just how you did, and she cozied right on up to me. Not to mention, I've learned cookin', and cleanin', and how to use a needle!

Cherche:
But you'd rather know how I defeated the wyvern than learn household chores, right?

Donnel:
See, I been thinkin' about that. You don't treat her anythin' like a regular ol' horse. I reckon you two are more like old friends than master and servant. I sure do envy it. I was never that friendly with my mule back on the farm. Don't s'pose you'd tell me how ya managed to earn her trust?

Cherche:
Through the same bonds of friendship that made you part of our little group. Don't you notice how close you've become to Minerva? ...And to me?

Donnel:
Aw, shucks. But yer so pretty and kind, and I'm just a big lug from the sticks. ...Ya really think we're becomin' friends?

Cherche:
Oh, I know we are.

Donnel:
Gosh, how excitin'! Donnel Tinhead, friends with the famous wyvern subduer!

Cherche:
And the wyvern, too...

Donnel:
Hey-ho, hey-ho... *pant, pant* Just...a bit farther...

Cherche:
Goodness, what an enormous metal ring! It must weigh half a ton! Why don't you ask Minerva to help you carry it?

Donnel:
That's the thing...it's a present FOR Minerva... *pant* A surprise, like! Reckon I better take a break...'fore I hurt my back... *Thunk* Phew! That's better.

Cherche:
Did you say this is a present for Minerva?

Donnel:
I'm givin' it to her as a symbol of the friendship what growed between us!

Cherche:
Donnel, this is a bit upsetting... Minerva gets a present, but I don't?

Donnel:
Actually, I got one for you, too. ...Ain't quite as big, obviously. But givin' a lady a ring is a mighty big thing, so I been frettin' somethin' fierce! What if ya don't like it? What if ya turn me down?

Cherche:
I'm just relieved you're not asking my wyvern to marry you...

Donnel:
Lordy, Cherche! That ain't never gonna happen. There's only one gal for me!

Cherche:
...Well, it is a lovely ring, Donnel. Do you mind if I put it on?

Donnel:
N-no. Course not.

Cherche:
...It's a perfect fit.

Donnel:
G-gosh! Seein' that on your finger makes me happier'n I been my whole life!

Cherche:
And I as well. But I don't think it's fair we keep all this joy to ourselves, do you? Let's go and find Minerva and hand over her present.

Donnel:
You got it!
