Robin:
Er, Panne?
Panne:
What?
Robin:
Would you tell me more about the taguel? I barely know a thing about them, and I thought... I mean, if you don't mind...
Panne:
I do not.
Robin:
...Wait, really?
Panne:
No, I do not mind. Why do you doubt me?
Robin:
I don't know, I guess I just didn't imagine you saying yes so easily. I was all ready to argue my case. You kind of took the wind out of my sails.
Panne:
Is it I who frighten you so, man-spawn? Or the fact I am taguel?
Robin:
N-no, neither! Nothing like that. It's just... I thought you might not take kindly to me asking about your people. I know it was humans like me who killed them, after all.
Panne:
Humans like you, yes. But not you. You do not bear the blame for what was done, so do not bear the guilt. Guilt creates distance. If you would learn of my people, cast it aside.
Robin:
All right.
Panne:
Mmm. At last you are calm. Your heart has slowed.
Robin:
You can hear my heartbeat?
Panne:
Lesson one—taguel have strong ears. A heart's beat always betrays its owner.
Robin:
Heh. Remind me never to play cards against you... Oh, I have a meeting, but I would love to know more... Can we talk again soon?
Panne:
Of course. It is nice to find someone who is curious about my people.

Robin:
So, do all shape-shifters turn into rabbits, Panne?
Panne:
No. There were others, far from here. Tribes of cat-wearers and bird-wearers.
Robin:
Whoa, I would have loved to see that... I bet they were so cuddly and cute! Er...sorry. I probably shouldn't call a race of proud warriors "cute."
Panne:
They were not cute. At least, not like the rabbit-wearers are cute. But then, what is? Nothing.
Robin:
Heh heh, r-right. So, did you ever meet these other tribes yourself?
Panne:
Long ago. How they fare now, I do not know. Perhaps they shared the same bloody fate as my own people...
Robin:
I... I didn't mean to...
Panne:
I am sorry. There is no call for you to share in my gloom. So, another question?
Robin:
Oh... Um, well, what do you like to eat?
Panne:
Taguel eat many things.
Robin:
No, I mean you, specifically. I'm on kitchen duty tonight—I'll cook whatever you want. It was my being nosey that made you sad, right? Let me cheer you back up!
Panne:
You are...oddly kind.
Robin:
So, let me guess... Carrot stew?
Panne:
...How did you know?
Robin:
Ha ha, sorry! I know, just because you're a rabbit doesn't mean you... Wait, I was right?

Panne:
*Sniff* Ah! Is that your famous carrot stew I smell? I hope you don't mind if I sneak a taste before dinner?
Robin:
No, Panne, wait! That's not for—
Panne:
*Sluuuurp*
Robin:
...Oh dear. I'm SO sorry, Panne, but I messed up the recipe on that batch. Everybody said it tasted...off. Well, actually they said it tasted like last month's dishwater, but...
Panne:
It seems perfectly fine to me.
Robin:
...You've got to be joking.
Panne:
Taguel never joke about food. Nothing seems off here. It tastes exactly the same as every other time you have made it.
Robin:
It does?! You mean, ALL the stews tasted like this to you? And you ate them? Taguel taste buds must not work like ours. ...Or at all.
Panne:
Would you mind if I had a bowl?
Robin:
Hey, take the whole pot if you want! No one else will touch the stuff.
Panne:
Many thanks. You really are too kind, Robin.
Robin:
Soup-er happy to hear you say that, Panne!

Panne:
Mmm, that was excellent. Delicious, as always, Robin.
Robin:
Not a widely held opinion, but thanks.
Panne:
That suits me fine. I get your food all to myself. More warmth for me.
Robin:
I suppose it is warm, at least... Not a very high bar, is it?
Panne:
No. Not that warmth. I mean it warms my heart. I had forgotten what that felt like. I was alone for so long...
Robin:
......
Panne:
...Heh, I am being gloomy again. Forget I said anything.
Robin:
Panne, I... Here.
Panne:
Wait, this is...?
Robin:
It's a ring, Panne. I want you to marry me.
Panne:
...Marry?
Robin:
Oh, well... Marriage is when two people promise to stay with each other for life. You mean so much to me. It tears me up to think of you being alone... You've had too much of that already. ...Let me be your family.
Panne:
You would do that?
Robin:
If you'll let me, yes.
Panne:
And I would never be alone again?
Robin:
Not for as long as I lived.
Panne:
And will you cook for me every day?
Robin:
If you want, sure.
Panne:
...I knew you were kind, Robin. But this... I'm happier than I believed possible! This is better than the first time I tried your carrot stew!
Robin:
Well I should HOPE I'm better than that!
[Confession CG scene]
To think that I might love a human. Oh, what a strange world this is.
