Gerome:
...... Someone is following me.

Nah:
So you finally noticed.

Gerome:
You.

Nah:
I have a name. It's Nah!

Gerome:
Why are you following me?

Nah:
You interest me.

Gerome:
In what way?

Nah:
You're always sulking about on your own... That makes you different. I'm interested in "different."

Gerome:
That still doesn't explain why you are following me.

Nah:
I wanted to see how you'd react when you discovered me. Out of enlightened curiosity, of course.

Gerome:
You wanted to scare me? Is that it? I don't have time for games. Don't talk to me again. ...Minerva, away!

Nah:
No. Wait! ...He flew off. If only I could follow him somehow... Well... I am a dragon. I could just transform and then... Er... Drat. He's long gone now.

Gerome:
...I'm being followed again. Come out and show yourself! I know you're there!

Nah:
Ah. Caught me again!

Gerome:
I should have known.

Nah:
Gerome, I have a favor to ask.

Gerome:
*Sigh* What is it?

Nah:
...Will you let me touch your mask?

Gerome:
No.

Nah:
Why not? I don't care about seeing your face. I'll even close my eyes if it makes you feel better. Again, I'm just curious, is all.

Gerome:
Even so: no. ...And whatever for? It's just a simple mask.

Nah:
But I won't know that until I touch it. So come on!

Gerome:
No. End of discussion.

Nah:
Now you're just being stubborn! You know you don't need it! If you thought about it for a second or two, you'd see that.

Gerome:
Hmph.

Nah:
...... Done thinking about it yet? Then go ahead, take it off!

Gerome:
What are you blathering about? I thought you didn't want to see my face?! The mask stays and that's that!

Nah:
Oh, very well! It's not that important anyway. Calm down, Gerome... It's not like I think you're ugly under there or anything. I'm just curious.

Gerome:
That's not the point.

Nah:
All right. I'll go. ...... GIMME THAT! Just...give me...that... *grunt*

Gerome:
Get back, you madwoman! Ow! Argh! Put that stick down! Put it down, I say!

Nah:
Not so tough now, are you?! Now! Give me that mask! Hrrngh!!!

Gerome:
I don't have a stick! ...Ow! ... Right, that's enough! Minerva, to me!

Nah:
Don't you dare! Come back here right now! ...Blast it! He flew off again!

Gerome:
Huh? Is that...?

Nah:
GEROOOOOOOME!

Gerome:
Does that woman never rest?! ...Wait, what's she—? Oh, gods! She's charging right at me!

Nah:
The mask! The mask! Give me that mask!

Gerome:
Heavens save me, she's gone insane! Must get out of here! Minerva, to me!

Nah:
WHY ARE YOU RUNNING AWAAAAAAAAAAY?!

Gerome:
Egads, the very ground trembles when she roars! How can such a diminutive figure produce such a bloodcurdling sound?!

Nah:
*Pant, pant*

Gerome:
Why, damn you?! Why are you chasing me with such desperation?

Nah:
I thought I told you? Curiosity!

Gerome:
That hardly justifies your obsessive ferocity!

Nah:
...Well, your obstinance isn't helping!

Gerome:
W-what's that supposed to mean? Aaargh! You're like a small child throwing fits for no reason! ...Wait. You are a child, aren't you?

Nah:
Well, in manakete years I'm practically a mewling babe. But in human years I'm the same age as you.

Gerome:
So, you're just playing with me, then? Is this all some...game?

Nah:
Well, by now it is, yes. Take a good look. It's rare that I ever get this way. Never toy with my voracious curiosity!

Gerome:
Why didn't you just tell me?! It would have saved a lot of aggravation!

Nah:
Because puzzles are more fun if you must put in a little work to solve them! Besides, you wouldn't have played if I told you! You're always so grumpy. I couldn't even keep you in one spot long enough to talk to until now!

Gerome:
I don't know...

Nah:
Come, now. Admit it. You would have brushed me off like an annoying child. Actually, you've been doing just that, no?

Gerome:
...So this started out as curiosity, and gradually devolved to...this? ...You wanted to be friends but were afraid I'd refuse if you asked directly. So instead, you've been playing these annoying games?

Nah:
Well it's all over now that you've discovered my fiendishly clever plan. *Sigh*

Gerome:
Nah, wait! Come back. ... Damn. She's gone. ...Perhaps next time we meet it wouldn't hurt to play along...?

Gerome:
Hello, Nah.

Nah:
EEEEEEK!

Gerome:
Hey, careful with those claws! They're sharp!

Nah:
Well, you're the one who snuck up on me! Er...what do you want, anyway?

Gerome:
I want to clear the air... I think you may have the wrong idea. I don't dislike you, Nah. Far from it, in fact.

Nah:
So why do you jump on Minerva and fly off in the middle of conversations?

Gerome:
I don't know. Perhaps I don't know how to respond to a woman so...interested in me. Though honestly, I've never been good at talking to people in general. I do wear this mask for a reason...

Nah:
So I see. I guess I can understand... But really, I'm just like everyone else, underneath it all.

Gerome:
I...know that now. It just...took me some time to come to that realization. So...

Nah:
So...

Gerome:
So in the interest of starting over... I'm wondering if you'd like to play a game together? You can choose it. I promise I won't fly away on Minerva this time.

Nah:
Really? You'd do that for me?

Gerome:
Yes, I feel like... I owe it to you, after all. And, I suppose I could...loosen up a bit... Plus, if we're going to be friends, then I have to do things for you. Friends do that...right?

Nah:
Can we get married, then?

Gerome:
Er, is that what the game is called? I'm not quite familiar with the rules...

Nah:
No, you silly man. I mean for real!

Gerome:
Wh-where is this coming from?!

Nah:
Don't you realize why I've been following you around all this time? It's because I've fallen in lo—

Gerome:
Stop! That's enough. ...... Look. Why don't we pretend to marry for now and get to know each other? That would be fun, right?

Nah:
No! I don't want to pretend! I truly do want to get married.

Gerome:
Yes, but perhaps if we wait until we're both a little older—

Nah:
Then you have to promise!

Gerome:
I swear, on my honor as a soldier, that I will consider it. ...Eventually.

Nah:
I'm more than willing to wait for a man that piques my curiosity like you do... After all, what's a few years to a manakete?
