Robin:
...Vaike? What are you up to out here?

Vaike:
Eh? Me? Up to? Nothin'! Har har! Yessir, just a whooole lot of nothin'. Oh, lookie there! Pretty flowers! I sure do love me a pretty flower, don't you? Yep! Love 'em. All of 'em! ...Say what's your favorite flower, Robin?

Robin:
...Okay, now I KNOW you're up to something.

Vaike:
Har har! Nope, not me! Just lookin' at all them pretty flowers is all. Nice, ain't they?

Robin:
Liar. You're trying to see who's bathing in the spring over there.

Vaike:
S-spring? There's a spring? Why, I had NO idea!

Robin:
Don't play dumb with me, Vaike! Now stop leering and get back to camp.

Vaike:
Aw, come on! You don't understand! You ain't a man! Sometimes a man's just gotta...see what can be seen, ya know?

Robin:
No. I don't. ...Thank the gods.

Vaike:
Right little goody two-shoes, ain't ya? Interrupting my fun just when... Oh, fine. Guess I'm done lookin' at flowers. But don't think you can keep me— Huh? What's that?

Robin:
That's Sully's horse isn't it? Gods, but it's a fierce-looking brute. Do you see how it's glaring at us? It's almost as if it thinks...

Vaike:
IT'S GONNA CHARGE! RUN! RUN FOR YOUR LIIIIIIIFE!

Robin:
B-but I didn't do anything! Gyaaaaaa!

Vaike:
Har! It's the Vaike's lucky day! Sully's horse is dozin' away, and that meddling little—

Robin:
Meddling little...what?

Vaike:
Blast! You again? Er, I mean... Oh, look! A four-leaf clover! Lucky me!

Robin:
For that lie to work, you actually need to have a four-leaf clover. You were spying on bathing women again, weren't you?! Don't deny it!

Vaike:
I DO deny it! ...Besides, what are YOU doing skulkin' around the bushes?

Robin:
I was helping my friends bathe in peace without some scoundrel leering at them! Now keep your voice down! You might wake up Sully's devil steed.

Vaike:
What do you care if it wakes? I'm the one he's got it in for.

Robin:
Not anymore, thanks to you! Ever since that time I caught you snooping, the beast has made me its sworn enemy. If I get within half a league, it's after me like a hound from hell!

Vaike:
Har har! So the beast has the evil eye for Madam Goody Two-Shoes herself? There's a word for that... What is it... Tip of my tongue... Oh, I know! ...IRONIC! HAR HAR!

Robin:
Frankly, being tarred with the same brush as you is punishment enough. In any case, neither of us want to be here if that horse wakes up. Come on, let's get back to camp.

Vaike:
...Curses, I truly thought today was going to be the Vaike's lucky... Wait. That evil horse—it's gone!

Robin:
V-Vaike... D-don't turn around... It's right...behind you...

Vaike:
It's...b-behind me? ARRRRRRRRRRRRGH! RUUUUUUUN! FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT'S GOOD AND HOLY, RUUUUUUUUUUUUN!

Robin:
WHY MEEEEEEEEE?!

A Support

Robin:
Hey, Vaike. Why the long face?

Vaike:
...Oh. Hello, Robin. So, uh...I've been thinkin'. The Vaike's caused ya a lot of grief. I feel bad about it.

Robin:
It's not like you to be so introspective. Why does it worry me...

Vaike:
Well, I was having a bath—you know, down by the spring—and well... These ladies appeared outta nowhere and started pointin' and laughin' at poor Teach! I was stark naked, with my clothes hung up on the far side of the creek! I reckon they were gettin' revenge for those times I...accidentally spied on 'em.

Robin:
Huh.

Vaike:
And that blasted horse was there, grinnin' like a rabid crocodile! It was humiliatin'!

Robin:
Well, that does sound unpleasant. Even if you only have yourself to blame. One might even call it... Oh, what's the word? Ah, yes: ironic! In any case, can we please assume that you've finally learned your lesson?

Vaike:
Yeah, now that I know what it's like to be the victim, the Vaike's spyin' days are over.

Robin:
Good. I think when you look back on this later, you'll be glad it happened. But, come. No use moping about what's done. The Shepherds need their Teach. They need his passion and his willingness to take on anything or anyone, damn the odds!

Vaike:
Har har. Now that's the truth! ...You're all right, Robin. A good friend through and through.

Robin:
You...consider me a friend?

Vaike:
Darn right! You're in the Vaike circle of trust. Not many folk earn that privilege! ...But now that we're friends and all, that means we can ask each other favors.

Robin:
Favors? Well, I suppose if there's something—

Vaike:
I've given up spying, but I owe those girls a good scare! No one makes a mockery of Teach and gets away with it! So put your thinkin' cap on and brew up some kinda revenge scheme, okay? Maybe some way to dump puddin' on their heads or somethin'.

Robin:
Pudding, Vaike? Honestly?

S Support

Vaike:
Aw, snakebellies! Where could it have gotten to? If I don't find it soon...

Robin:
What's all the fuss about, Vaike? Have you lost something?

Vaike:
WAH! Robin! Why're ya always sneakin' up on me like that?! Um, yeah, I lost somethin'. It's a pouch of, uh, herbs! ...Yeah, that's it.

Robin:
...Okay, now tell me what you REALLY lost, and perhaps I can help.

Vaike:
It's, er... Well, how do I put it? It's a round thing with a hole in the middle. All glittery.

Robin:
Hm. Any other identifying characterist... Vaike? What is it? You've gone deathly pale!

Vaike:
D-don't look now... B-b-b-behind you...

Robin:
Behind ME? You don't mean... AAAAAAAAARRRGH! IT'S THE HORSE! THE EQUINE FROM HELL! SAVE US! SAVE US ALL FROM ITS... ...Huh? He's not charging. He's not even mad. He's...nuzzling me. Wait, he has something in his mouth!

Vaike:
Hey, that's...

Robin:
A ring. A beautiful, glittery ring... This is what you were looking for, isn't it?

Vaike:
Er, yeah.

Robin:
Well, isn't this lucky? You found your ring. Is it new? I don't remember ever seeing you wear it. Or maybe...it's meant for someone else? Someone...special to you...

Vaike:
Well, er...it's actually for you.

Robin:
...Me?

Vaike:
Yep.

Robin:
Gracious!

Vaike:
It's just... I got to thinkin' how enjoyable it's been hangin' around with you. Stumblin' around in bushes, fleein' that devil horse, all the witty banter... The Vaike ain't had that much fun since I was an anklebiter back home! So I said to myself, "Vaike, you should marry this girl before she gets snapped up!"

Robin:
I...don't know what to say, Vaike. I'm overwhelmed... When I first saw the ring and thought you had a special someone... Well, my heart leapt into my throat. ...Because I've grown quite fond of you. I can't tell you how thrilled I am that this ring is meant for me!

Vaike:
So you'll say yes? You'll marry me?! YIPPEEEEEE! Dash it, Robin, I'll have to give that horse a big, slobbery kiss of gratitude!

Robin:
Heh, shouldn't I get one, too? ...Preferably BEFORE the horse!

[Confession CG scene]
This has gotta be the first time I've ever rated someone ELSE first! Is this love? The Vaike is stunned.
