Nah:
*Sigh* Dealing with Mother is just so exasperating! All she ever does is play, play, play, as if she hasn't a care in the world!
Donnel:
What's wrong, Nah? Ya seem awfully peeved.
Nah:
Oh, hello, Father. I was just thinking about Mother again... How do you stand her? Don't you find her incredibly childish? Annoying, even? She spends almost all of her time running around camp playing games.
Donnel:
Ain't that a kick? I was just thinkin' how alike the two of you are. But no, I don't find her annoying. It's who she is—I wouldn't want her to change.
Nah:
Tsk! Father, you're MUCH too kind. If you're always this tolerant, she'll never learn to act her age!
Donnel:
Well, I...
Nah:
What do you like about her, anyway? You're so serious and responsible, and she runs around like a headless chicken! I have no idea what you see in her... Unless...you rushed into marriage for some reason? Like you got her—
Donnel:
What?! D-don't be ridiculous! I knew exactly what I was gettin' into!
Nah:
Oh? That's quite a protest there... I guessed right, didn't I?
Donnel:
Heck no! I knew yer ma was a bit...flighty at times. I just find it charmin'.
Nah:
You know what, Father? I don't believe you one bit. Come now, spit it out. Why DID you marry her?
Donnel:
Enough! It ain't right to be talkin' 'bout yer ma like this!
Nah:
Hey, stop! Don't run away from me! WAAAAAAIT!

Nah:
Father! Cornered you at last! It's time we finished our conversation.
Donnel:
Yer stubborn as an old mule, Nah, but that discussion is over now. I ain't gettin' into more detail about why I chose yer ma, and that's final!
Nah:
AWWWWWW. Why not?! A daughter simply MUST know how her parents fell in love! You don't understand how a woman's heart works. You're so CRUEL!
Donnel:
Heh, I think yer a mite young to be worryin' about yer "woman's heart."
Nah:
...Did you just mention my AGE?! Gods, forget what I said. It's a wonder any woman deigned to choose YOU...
Donnel:
Nah, I know what yer tryin' to do here. But don't forget, I AM yer father. If ya keep this up, I WILL get angry, and I WILL punish ya.
Nah:
Eep! S-sorry, Father. I didn't mean to make you angry... I swear.
Donnel:
All right, all right then... I 'preciate the 'pology.
Nah:
I've been selfish and unreasonable. Please find it in yourself to forgive me.
Donnel:
Well, sure. But—
Nah:
I guess I've wasted enough of your time. I'll just be...going now.
Donnel:
No, wait, Nah.
Nah:
Yes?
Donnel:
Ya just seem so crestfallen. Are ya all right?
Nah:
*Sigh* I suppose I'll just have to deal with the crushing disappointment, won't I? I mean, if my father is going to become so angry over a simple, innocent question...
Donnel:
Um, right, well... See, it's just—
Nah:
No, no. You don't have to explain. I'm used to dealing with hardship. Being spurned by my own father is just another drop in my bucket of torment. Hardly worth mentioning at all. Truly! ...Anyway, have a nice day.
Donnel:
B-b-but... ...Well, shucks. Is this really what I got to look forward to for the next decade?

Donnel:
Nah...
Nah:
Why, hello, Father. What can I do for you?
Donnel:
About the other day, when ya said ya were used to disappointment? What exactly did ya mean by that?
Nah:
Oh, that... I was talking about growing up in my foster home.
Donnel:
Wait, ya mean Nowi warn't around to raise ya proper?
Nah:
No. I never knew either of my parents. I was sent to live with the family of one of my father's soldier friends. But my new family wasn't very welcoming to their semihuman-mongrel foster child.
Donnel:
Don't say that.
Nah:
I soon learned that I'd have to work hard to fit in and survive in my new home. I did chores before I was asked. I helped defend the house from marauding Risen. I thought that if I could make myself useful, they would stop...hating me. I mean, how could they resent a child that always helped and never asked for anything? But they never accepted me... I just learned to deal with disappointment. I had no friends. No one to talk to. ...I was utterly alone. And I never once mentioned how much I missed my father and mother. *Sniff* I...I didn't even ask...when...when would they come back for me...
Donnel:
...Nah, I...
Nah:
Wh-when I arrived here, I wanted to find out everything I could about them. *sniff* Th-that's why I keep asking so many questions and making you angry...
Donnel:
I'm sorry, Nah. Reckon I've been blind this whole time... I'll tell ya anythin' ya wanna know—even the embarrassin' story of our courtship... And if yer ever feelin' lost or sad, I'll be right here for ya. Long as I'm around, ya won't ever be lonely again.
Nah:
T-truly? Do you really mean it?! Oh, thank you, Father!
Donnel:
Not at all, Nah. Now, tell me, whatcha wanna know?
Nah:
Let's start with how you proposed to Mother! What'd you say? What'd you do?! I want to hear EVERYTHING, and don't leave out even the smallest detail!
Donnel:
Gosh... Alrighty, well...as ya know, yer ma has always looked right young, and...
