Nah:
Huh? Is that...Yarne?
Yarne:
Haaaaaah...
Nah:
Whoa, what was that? Some kind of secret taguel focus training?
Yarne:
It was a sigh.
Nah:
That was pretty impressive for a sigh. I thought it was part of an ancient form of meditation or something.
Yarne:
You've got some imagination, Nah. I guess the world looks different when you can turn into a dragon. ...Gods, I'm so jealous.
Nah:
What? Where did that come from?
Yarne:
Well, can you blame me? There's the claws, and the fangs, and the breath, and the part where you're all huge! Who wouldn't be jealous of all that?
Nah:
Hey, us dragons have our share of problems too! You're a pretty obvious target when you're as big as a barn!
Yarne:
Yeah, I guess. But still...
Nah:
Besides, you can transform, too!
Yarne:
Yeah, into a rabbit! Not exactly feared as nature's deadliest killers, are they?
Nah:
Maybe not, but they're quicker than most. That makes them perfect for quick tactical strikes and diversionary runs. I mean, come on. Bunnies have their strengths.
Yarne:
Calling them "bunnies" is not helping. Ugh, let's not talk about it. It's depressing.
Nah:
You were the one who brought it up!

Yarne:
HAAAAAAH!
Nah:
Okay, that one HAD to be secret taguel focus training!
Yarne:
Nope! Still just a sigh.
Nah:
Who sighs that aggressively? I thought you were channeling energy to smash a boulder or shoot fire or something.
Yarne:
It won't be the last time I disappoint you, I'm sure...
Nah:
Geez. You're a real downer, you know that? So what's the problem? Tell me. Manaketes and taguel are practically cousins, so I'm sure I'd understand.
Yarne:
I was just thinking how much I hate fighting and how I wish the war were over already.
Nah:
It sounds like someone needs to get in touch with his inner warrior.
Yarne:
What makes you think I even have one?
Nah:
You're a taguel! Your people have always been fighters, the same as us manaketes. If you can tap into that innate clan instinct, you'll be a whirlwind of death in no time.
Yarne:
But it's also up to me to keep that clan alive. If I die, we go extinct.
Nah:
I agree, that's a weighty responsibility. But this war could just as easily kill you whether you fight or not.
Yarne:
And this is supposed to encourage me how?
Nah:
If you're not truly safe either way, why not stop worrying and fight like a taguel?
Yarne:
If it were that easy to just stop worrying, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
Nah:
Grow a spine, Yarne! Gods! I'm half your size, and I'M fighting!
Yarne:
Yeah, until you turn into a dragon! Then you're nine times my size! You know what? This is dumb. We're not the same at all! Plus, there are other manaketes out there if something happens to you! So quit talking like you have any idea what it's like!
Nah:
......
Yarne:
Nah... Look, I'm sorry. I should go.
Nah:
Yarne, wait. ...See you around, I guess.

Yarne:
I still feel bad for barking at Nah like that. I should probably go apologize. Let's see... Is this her tent? Yeah, I think so... Nah? Hey, Nah? Is this a good time?
Soldier:
Aw, cheese it, boys! We got company!
Yarne:
Wh-who are you people?!
Nah:
Nnngh! NNNNNGH!
Yarne:
Nah, you're going to have to enunciate if you want me to— ...Wait a sec, is this a kidnapping?!
Soldier:
Oy, he's seen us! Gut him like a fish, boys! Gya ha ha!
Yarne:
You can try, scum!
Yarne:
You all right, Nah? You seem pretty shaken up.
Nah:
......
Yarne:
That was pretty bold of those bandits to sneak into the camp like that... They must have thought you were just some kid they could sell into slavery. Monsters!
Nah:
...Th-thank you.
Yarne:
Don't be silly! I, uh...I'm glad to lend a hand. ...Surprised you needed my help, though. I would think a couple scraggly bandits would be a quick snack for a dragon.
Nah:
They snuck up and grabbed me from behind. I reached for a dragonstone, but...
Yarne:
Hey, no worries. Happens to all of us from...um...time to time.
Nah:
I'm just so glad you came...
Yarne:
Y-yeah... Me, too.
Nah:
I've never seen you that fierce. I didn't know you had it in you!
Yarne:
Heh. Neither did I, honestly!
Nah:
I was just...so scared. Even now, when I think of what could have happened...
Yarne:
Hey, believe me, I'm the last guy to blame anyone for being scared. But you're safe now, thanks to a certain killer bunny!
Nah:
You know, you really were amazing...
Yarne:
Aw, it's nothing anyone else wouldn't have done. But if you're ever in trouble again, you know you can count on me.
Nah:
I will!
Yarne:
...Sweet carrots! It feels good to play the hero for a change.

Yarne:
Nah, I—
Nah:
Eek!
Yarne:
Whoa, hey, it's just me! It's Yarne! What's with the scream?
Nah:
O-oh, I'm... I'm sorry, Yarne.
Yarne:
Are you still shook up from those dumb bandits? I'd been wondering. I've heard the others say you've been jumpy lately.
Nah:
I can't help it. I know it's silly, but I still get nightmares. Crazy, right? I mean, I'm a manakete! But now I can't even sleep without seeing kidnappers everywhere. It's stupid. ...I'm stupid.
Yarne:
You're not stupid, Nah! It was a terrible experience, you know? Have you talked to anyone else about this?
Nah:
......
Yarne:
I guess it's tough to come out and say a giant dragon is afraid of bandits, huh? Look, nobody would ever laugh at you for it, but I won't pressure you. However, I WILL promise to keep you safe! I'll stand guard by your tent if I have to.
Nah:
What?
Yarne:
No one deserves to live their life in fear, no matter how strong they are.
Nah:
You really mean that?
Yarne:
Of course! So rest easy. I'm here for you.
Nah:
That's so kind... I'm...I'm so grateful, but... *sniff* But I can't ask you to.
Yarne:
Hey, don't cry. It's just what you do for...the girl that you love.
Nah:
What?
Yarne:
It spooked me so bad when I saw them try to take you. I think that's when it hit me... I'd fight anyone to keep you safe, Nah. I never want to lose you.
Nah:
Oh, Yarne! You're my hero!
Yarne:
Heh, I guess I owe those bandits one.
Nah:
Oh, don't even— That's awful!
Yarne:
Heh. Funny to think about, though, isn't it? A cuddly bunny rabbit protecting a dragon? Heh heh... Ha ha ha!
Nah:
...Hee hee! Yeah...maybe just a bit. Oh, c'mere, cuddles!
