Chrom:
Fortunately no one got hurt, but you MUST be more careful in the future.

Ricken:
I'm so sorry! It won't happen again—I promise! I just didn't think the flames would spread so fast.

Chrom:
Now is not the time to discuss it. Come by my tent first thing in the morning and you can explain yourself then.

Ricken:
Y-yes, sir. *Sigh*

Nowi:
I'm sorry, Ricken. I didn't mean to fall asleep, honest. But I couldn't keep my eyes open.

Ricken:
Geez, Nowi! You have to promise to stop taking that dragonstone to bed! I don't want to wake up to the smell of burning tents again.

Nowi:
B-but, I can't get to sleep if I'm not holding on to it...

Ricken:
Look, what if I read you a book instead? Would that help you sleep?

Nowi:
Oh, sure! That ought to work!

Ricken:
Fine. ...Now let's keep this dragonstone accident our little secret, okay?

Nowi:
Okay! Thanks, Ricken!

Nowi:
Ricken, are you still angry?

Ricken:
No. I guess not.

Nowi:
Oh, that's good. Because I've never seen you so angry! ...It was kind of scary.

Ricken:
Yeah. I'm sorry I shouted like that. I just sort of...snapped.

Nowi:
What did those townspeople do to set you off like that?

Ricken:
They were saying bad things about Chrom. It really made my blood boil! Don't they realize how much he's sacrificed and risked so they can live in peace?

Nowi:
It's not very fair, is it?

Ricken:
No. But I was wrong to be so angry. There are ungrateful fools everywhere. I can't afford to lose my temper whenever someone says something dumb.

Nowi:
I don't blame you one bit! Especially when I think how much you admire Chrom. If someone said bad things about a person I liked, I'd probably just eat 'em.

Ricken:
You think so?

Nowi:
Definitely! You're the kind of person who wants to protect people. ...Just like me.

Ricken:
I do my best!

Nowi:
Well, anyway. It looks like we have another secret, don't we?

Ricken:
Er, right. If you can avoid telling anyone about this, I'd be really grateful.

Nowi:
Hee hee! No problem. After all, you're holding on to a secret for me, too!

Ricken:
Geez! Let's hope we won't need to keep any more!

Ricken:
That wedding was so fun! I'm glad we got to go.

Nowi:
Yep. It seemed like the whole village was celebrating!

Ricken:
Even though they didn't really know who we were, they gave us so much food. It was like a harvest festival.

Nowi:
A harvest festival? I haven't been to one of those in ages! Oh, I love festivals! People are laughing, and dancing, and eating tasty food!

Ricken:
You like it when you're surrounded by lots of people, don't you?

Nowi:
When I was young, which is a REALLY long time ago, I had no one to talk to. Sometimes, it got so lonely I thought I was the only person in the world. That's why whenever I see a party going on, I just HAVE to join in.

Ricken:
You don't get lonely now, though, do you?

Nowi:
Oh, no! Now I have lots of friends, and there's always someone to talk to! Like you! And Robin! And all the other nice people in the army! But...

Ricken:
But what?

Nowi:
But someday, everyone is going to leave and go their separate ways, aren't they? And when that happens, I'll be alone again, just like before.

Ricken:
No way! I'm not going to let that happen! In fact, when the war finishes, why don't we go on a tour of all the festivals we can find?

Nowi:
Like, all around the whole world?

Ricken:
Yeah! We'll invite the others and travel to every last corner of the map! Every single day would be a new festival with music and candied apples for all!

Nowi:
Oh my gosh! We could try to see every festival in the world! Promise me, Ricken! Promise you'll take me on this tour!

Ricken:
It's a promise!

Nowi:
Hey, Ricken. Let's play a game!

Ricken:
Sure! How about a guessing game? For example, see if you can tell what I have for you in this bag.

Nowi:
I love guessing games!

Ricken:
Here, then. You can put your hand inside, but you're not allowed to peek!

Nowi:
Hmm... It's hard...and round...and small... Is it a dragonstone?

Ricken:
Nope. Besides, you have one of those. Can you tell anything else about it?

Nowi:
Wait, yes! It's got a hole in the middle... Oh! It's a donut! I love donuts! No, wait. It's not a donut. It's metal... Um, is it a ring?

Ricken:
That's right! Here, you can look now.

Nowi:
Hey, I know what this is! It's just like the one the lady was wearing at the wedding!

Ricken:
This is my most treasured heirloom. See this here? It's my family crest. And the reason I brought it today is because I wanted to...give it to you.

Nowi:
A-are you asking me to marry you?

Ricken:
Yes! I really like you, Nowi, and I want you to be my wife.

Nowi:
B-but, you're going to get older and older and I'll hardly change! And then—

Ricken:
It doesn't matter how we look! It's what's in our hearts that counts. Do you think you could still love me when I'm a wizened old man?

Nowi:
Of course I could! I promise I will! I'll never stop loving you, ever!

Ricken:
Good! Because I certainly won't stop loving you!

Nowi:
Yaaaay! I'm never going to be lonely again!
