Benny: *yawn*

Mozu: Whoa! Look at the size of that bear! That thing's big enough to make a tasty meal for the whole crew!

Benny: Um...I'm not a bear. Sorry.

Mozu: It talks, too?! Wait, what? Oh, it's just you. Hi, Benny.

Benny: Hi, Mozu.

Mozu: You gotta be more careful, Benny! You can't sit quietly out in the forest, staring at nothing. Some fool's gonna mistake you for a bear, and it'll be lights out!

Benny: People hunt bears a lot?

Mozu: They surely do! I myself like a good plate of bear meat. Wild boar's good eating too, but bear stew is on a whole other level.

Benny: Huh.

Mozu: Mmm-mmm... Oh gosh, I'm sorry. I was getting hungry just looking at you. Well, see ya!

(Mozu leaves)

Benny: How close was I just now to being boiled into a stew?

Mozu: Afternoon, Benny!

Benny: Hi, Mozu.

Mozu: I was just heading up into the mountains to go bear hunting.

Benny: Are you making bear stew?

Mozu: Yup! Ever since we had that run-in the other day, I've been craving some. You wanna come with?

Benny: I'd rather not... I, um. Don't eat bear.

Mozu: Too stringy for you? You don't like the taste?

Benny: No, it's fine.

Mozu: So you DO like it? Then what's the problem?

Benny: Well...don't laugh, but...bears are my friends.

Mozu: Your— Your friends?

Benny: Yeah...

Mozu: Oh, Benny, no. Bears are wild animals. They're there for eating!

Benny: Well...when I was a child...the wild animals were my only playmates.

Mozu: No fooling?

Benny: Honest.

Mozu: You know what? I lost my appetite for bear stew. I don't have the heart to cook your bear buddies.

Benny: Sorry. Thanks. But also, sorry...

Mozu: Benny! Think you could do me a favor?

Benny: What favor?

Mozu: I want to take a trip up to the mountains with you.

Benny: Um...to do what?

Mozu: I want to meet a bear.

Benny: You're still hungry for stew?

Mozu: Gosh, no! Sure, before I would have been. Back when I just thought of wild critters as food. But I've been thinking about how you get along with the animals.

Benny: They're really good to me.

Mozu: Yeah! I never thought animals would take to human beings like that. So I got to wondering if I could make friends with them too.

Benny: Hmm...

Mozu: I wouldn't know where to start on my own. But if you showed me how... I bet those little critters and me would get along like a house on fire!

Benny: Sure...I'll do what I can.

Mozu: Really?! Thanks, Benny! I gotta admit, this probably doesn't mean I'll stop hunting. But I think that's another good reason to get to know the animals better. That way I'll appreciate them even more when I dig in.

Benny: That's a good idea. I'm not a vegetarian either. But I always give thanks when I eat meat. I know the animals gave their lives to feed me.

Mozu: Haha, I should've guessed you'd come up with it first.

Benny: Anyway...I'm ready to go if you are.

Mozu: Yeah! Thanks, Benny!

Mozu: *sigh* You know what, Benny? I miss the rice paddies...

Benny: What are those?

Mozu: They were these special fields back in my home village. We were rice farmers.

Benny: You were?

Mozu: Yep. So many memories of those paddies... The way the light sparkled on the water, the stalks stretching up toward the sky... The more care you put into it, the better the rice tasted after the harvest.

Benny: You liked it, huh?

Mozu: Yeah. It's hard work, taking care of the crops, but it was fun too. Nowadays, though... I don't take care of anything. I spend all day, every day, fighting our enemies. I wasn't cut out to destroy things. I miss the time when at the end of the day, I had something to show for my hard work.

Benny: Then we should try to bring the war to an end soon. Once we're at peace, you'll be free to farm all the rice you want.

Mozu: Yeah! When the war gets me down... thinking of setting up a farm afterward keeps me going.

Benny: But...farming's hard though, isn't it?

Mozu: Oh, believe it, buster. Even for a rice farmer. You gotta keep the fields wet, tend to rice, deal with pests... If you got any livestock or other types of crops, it's work from sunup to sundown.

Benny: Sounds like it would be hard for one woman to do by herself.

Mozu: That's the truth. Back home, everyone in the family would pitch in on the farm.

Benny: Could I help you?

Mozu: With farming? Sure! If you want to try your hand at it, you're more than welcome.

Benny: Er...

Mozu: Something wrong?

Benny: I think I'm being too subtle. I'm not very good at this...

Mozu: Good at what? What are you trying to say?

Benny: You said the whole family would help each other farm... That's what I want with you, Mozu. Not just to help farm, but to be your family.

Mozu: Benny...are you asking to be my husband?

Benny: Y-yeah. That's what I meant.

Mozu: B-but...why? I'm not cute or pretty like the other girls.

Benny: Not to me. I think you're the cutest girl in the world.

Mozu: G-golly! But yeah...you can be my husband, Benny. You're strong as an ox and gentle as a lamb!

Benny: I'll be whatever you need me to be. I love you, Mozu.

Mozu: Now I really can't wait for the war to be over... I'll have a new farm to look forward to, and a new family to boot.
