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!
Vaike
What's wrong, Nah? You seem pretty sour there.
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.
Vaike
Weird. I was just thinkin' how the both of ya are so similar... But no, I don't find her annoyin'. It's who she is, and I don't expect 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!
Vaike
Well, I...
Nah
What do you like about her, anyway? I have no idea what you see in her... Unless...you rushed into marriage for some reason? Like you got her—
Vaike
What?! D-don't be ridiculous! The Vaike knew exactly what he was gettin' into!
Nah
Oh? That's quite a protest there... I guessed right, didn't I?
Vaike
N-no! I was plenty aware of her frivolous side! I found it...charming. Yeah, that's it. Charming.
Nah
You know what, Father? I don't believe you one bit. Come now, spit it out. Why DID you marry her?
Vaike
Enough! Ya shouldn't be talkin' about your mother 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.
Vaike
Nah, you're awfully persistent, but that discussion's over. I'm not gettin' into more detail about why I chose your mother, 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!
Vaike
Aren't you a little young to be worryin' about a "woman's heart," yourself?
Nah
...Did you just mention my AGE?! Gods, forget what I said. It's a wonder any woman deigned to choose YOU...
Vaike
Hey, I know what you're tryin' to do here. But don't forget, I AM your father. Ya keep this up, I WILL get upset, and I WILL punish ya...
Nah
Eep! S-sorry, Father. I didn't mean to make you angry... I swear.
Vaike
All right, all right then... I appreciate the apology.
Nah
I've been selfish and unreasonable. Please find it in yourself to forgive me.
Vaike
Yeah, of course. But—
Nah
I guess I've wasted enough of your time. I'll just be...going now.
Vaike
No, wait.
Nah
Yes?
Vaike
Ya seem so crestfallen... You 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...
Vaike
Um, yeah, 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.
Vaike
B-b-but... ...Gods, is this really what I have to look forward to for the next decade?
A Support
Vaike
Nah...
Nah
Why, hello, Father. What can I do for you?
Vaike
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.
Vaike
What, ya mean Nowi wasn't around to raise ya?
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.
Vaike
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...
Vaike
...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...
Vaike
I'm sorry, Nah. I've been a real heel about this whole thing... I'll tell ya anythin' ya wanna know about your mother. ...Even how we fell in love. And if you're ever feeling lost or sad, I'll be right here for ya. As long as I'm around, ya won't ever be lonely again.
Nah
T-truly? Do you really mean it?! Oh, thank you, Father!
Vaike
Not at all, Nah. Now, tell me, what do ya 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!
Vaike
*Sigh* Well...as ya know, your mother's always looked real young, and...
