Donnel: Nah, still no good. The hook's too big. Maybe if I... Naw, that ain't it either!

Avatar: Donnel? What are you trying to do?

Donnel: This dang fishin' hook I'm makin' just don't wanna work for me. See here? Way it is now, the fish'll just slip right off soon as it starts fightin'.

Avatar: Ah, yes. It needs a barb on the inside. Here, may I? ...There we go.

Donnel: Wow, thanks! I owe ya one, Avatar. How'd ya know so much about fishin' hooks anyhow?

Avatar: Oh, just something I read about at one time or another.

Donnel: Shoulda guessed. You always got yer nose in one dusty book or another. I just wish there was some way I could return the favor.Say, you know anythin' 'bout buildin' snares? I'm actually a pretty good trapper.

Avatar: Not much, I'm afraid. Perhaps you'd teach me some basic traps sometime?

Donnel: Darn tootin' I will! We can start with a box trap. Ain't nothin' to it.

Avatar: Sure, sounds great!

B Support

Avatar: Hey, Donny! You remember that box trap you helped me make? Well, I caught a boar! Just look at the size of this thing!

Donnel: It's near as big as this fish I caught thanks to yer tricky hook!

Avatar: Goodness, I think we're going to have leftovers tonight.

Donnel: Heck, if we smoke that boar'a yours, we'll be set for a month.

Avatar: Boar jerky? My mouth's watering just thinking about it... Oh, and speaking of, I was working on ways to improve that trap. I think I've got a better trigger figured out. You should come by and take a look.

Donnel: Swell! I got a new hook wanted to show ya, anyhow.

Avatar: Ha ha, listen to us! We're obsessed.

Donnel: Heh, ain't that truth? We ain't even on larder duty!

Avatar: We should be, the way we're stockpiling provisions.

Donnel: I wager the others'd think we're a right pair of greedyguts, way we'd goin'.

Avatar: I know! Ah ha ha!

A Support

Avatar: Do you cook, Donny?

Donnel: Sure—if I ain't got a choice. You?

Avatar: I've only poisoned myself twice!

Donnel: You say that like yer proud! But ain't much use to all this meat if we can't do nothin' with it.

Avatar: Do you want to have a go? At cooking it, I mean? I'll bet if the two of us put our heads together we could come up with something.

Donnel: No harm in tryin'.

Avatar: Gah! The fish! You're burning it!

Donnel: And yer stew is boilin' over!

Avatar: HOOOOOOT! Hot! Hot! Hot!

Donnel: You all right?!

Avatar: Ow... Y-yes, I think so. It's just a little burn.

Donnel: You gotta cool that, quick! Take this... Aw, horse apples! We're outta water! I'll go draw some. Don't move!

Donnel: I got the water! Stick yer hand in there!

Avatar: Ahhhhhhhhh...

Donnel: I reckon there WAS harm in us tryin' to cook.

Avatar: Still, I'd say it was worth it. At least I got to learn something about you.

Donnel: And what's that?

Avatar: You've got a cool head in a crisis. You were quick on your feet and kept it together. Thanks again for the water.

Donnel: Shucks. Ain't nothin' nobody else wouldn'ta done...

Avatar: Don't be so modest. You certainly... *sniff* *sniiiiiiff* Er, Donny? Is something burning?

Donnel: The fish! The fish is still on the goldurn fire!

Avatar: I think the harm is starting to outweigh the benefit now. Let's just throw some dirt over these cookfires and slink away. Er, and perhaps we'll not mention this to anyone else, eh?

Avatar: Hmm... I suppose snarfing down boar isn't very ladylike, now that I think about it?

Donnel: Huh? Are ya japin' with me now? Yer the finest lady I ever met! Back in my village, ain't a single milkmaid could hold a candle to ya!

Avatar: How kind of you to say, Donny. Do you really think-

Donnel: And ain't just you, neither! Every gal in this here army is a knockout. Yee-haw!

Donnel: Gosh, Avatar. That was one heckuva to-do the other day!

Avatar: Indeed, that burned-fish odor lingered for days. Chrom was NOT happy about us stinking up the camp! ...Or the bears that followed the scent.

Donnel: Aw, crab apples. I sure am sorry. Reckon I shoulda been more careful.

Avatar: No, it was my fault for buring my hand and making you fetch water. If anything, you kept a bad situation from getting any worse.

Donnel: Maybe. But I can't help thinkin' that if I was older and wiser and smarter... Well, maybe these kinds'a mishaps wouldn't keep happenin' to me.

Avatar:I could say the exact same thing. We're both only halfway to wisdom.

Donnel: So if we're both halfway, maybe we'd get more wise if we done got together?

Avatar: Got...together?

Donnel: I really hope ya don't think it forward of a simple country boy to be askin'... But I was hopin' ya'd do me the honor of acceptin' a present.

Avatar: ...A ring?

Donnel: In my whole life, I never met no one who's as much fun to be with as you. So I'm thinkin' it sure would be nice to spend the rest of my life with ya!

Avatar: Why, Donnel...

Donnel: Ya like my company and whatnot, don't ya, Avatar?

Avatar: Donnel, being with you is... It's like a nonstop festival ride.

Donnel: Then...?

Avatar: Yes. I accept.

Donnel: Yeeeeee-haaaaaaw!

Avatar: You'll do the cooking and laundry, and I'll be in charge of sleeping and eating.

Donnel: Huh? But...what about workin' together and gettin' wiser and all that?!

Avatar: It was just a joke, Donny.

Donnel: Haw haw! Good one, Avatar! Aw, I KNEW this'd be fun!

Donnel (Confession): I love you. I don't want to leave without you. Let's settle down from before.

Lissa

Donnel	Support information:				Lissa
	C: 4 pts.	B: 8 pts.	A: 13 pts.	S: 18 pts.

C Support

Lissa: Ah ha! I've been looking for you, Donny.

Donnel: Huh? Did you need me for somethig, Yer Gracefulship?

Lissa: No titles! We've talked about this before. I want you to think of me as an older sister.

Donnel: I know, Yer Worshipful... er, Miss Lissa. But it feels so darn weird!

Lissa: Well, get used to it! You're one of a precious few allies younger than me, you know? I have to milk this! Anyway, feel free to come ask for my help aaaaaanytime!

Donnel: But yer the princess of Ylisse, Miss Lissa!

Lissa: Then consider it a royal order. ...And drop the "miss" stuff!

Donnel: Y-yes, ma'am!

Lissa: ...Well, I suppose that'll do for now. Hee, this is great! I always wanted a little brother to order around!

Donnel: Gosh! I'm honored, I guess.

Lissa: Now, what can your big sis do for you? Anything at all, just say the word.

Donnel: Er... I'm frightful sorry to dash your hopes'n all, but I can't think'a nothing' right now. L-lemme work on it. Bye!

Lissa: Wha? Hey! Get back here!

B Support

Lissa: Looks like it's the two of us on provisioning duty today! What should we hunt for? Mushrooms? Wild herbs? Ooh, maybe berries?

Donnel: That all sounds tasty, but fightin' a war takes stouter stuff'n that. I vote for game!

Lissa: So, er, meat. From animals. Riiight... Guess we need to hunt some, then. Er, let's see...

Donnel: Don't fret it none. I laid a half dozen traps yesterday just in case. Just follow me, Lissa!

(Time passes)

Lissa: Whoa, look! Two rabbits and a boar! The traps really worked!

Donnel: Good thing, too. Now I ain't gotta worry 'bout you wanderin' around in the woods.

Lissa: I'm amazed, Donny. Where'd you learn how to hunt like this?

Donnel: From my pa, at first. Past that, I just kinda picked it up on my own.

Lissa: Wow. No matter where you are, you'll never lack for food.

Donnel: From yer lips to Naga's ears! 'Sides, I couldn't see my dream through if I weren't able to get anywheres.

Lissa: What dream is that?

Donnel: To travel the world lookin' for the secret to this stone my pa gave me. Was his dream, too, back before... Well when he was still alive. ...So I'm fixin' to do it for him.

Lissa: That's wonderful, Donny. You make me want to really knuckle down and buckle down on my own dream.

Donnel: You got a dream, Lissa?

Lissa: Hey! Why do you sound so surprised?

Donnel: Wh-what?! Naw, I didn't mean it that way at all!

Lissa: My dream is to become a true lady like my sister, Emmeryn.

Donnel: Well, I reckon you'll get there eventually.

Lissa: ...Eventually?

Donnel: Er, real soon, I mean! Like tomorrow! I knows ya will! Gosh, I can see it now. I bet you'll be the prettiest lady of 'em all! Wearin' big dresses and dancin' in circles at them fancy balls...

Lissa: You really think so?

Donnel: Heck, I know so! Prettiest lady in the whole dang world, see if you ain't!

Lissa: Heh heh. Thanks, Donny.

A Support

Lissa: Settle down and take a seat. Professor Lissa is now instructing.

Donnel: Er, if I'm gonna be learnin', I'd rather it was Sir Chrom teachin' me to fight proper. I don't mean no offense, Lissa, but-

Lissa: Tut tut! No talking! ...And it's PROFESSOR Lissa! All right now, class. Open your texts to page 84.

(Time passes)

Donnel: Er, beggin' your pardon, Professor, but that constellation's the Wyvern, not the Dragon.

Lissa: ...What?

Donnel: Yes, ma'am. And that bright star ain't Arthentine, it's Tryffin.

Lissa: Rgh, fine! This astronomy lesson is OVER! Just...read the book quietly to yourself!

Donnel: Aw, Lissa! Wait, I didn't... Dang it all. Why'd I have to go openin' my fool mouth?

(Time passes)

Lissa: That little know-it-all! Pigs'll fly before I offer to team HIM again! ...Gyaaaaaah! Oh darn it! I twisted my ankle! Aw, why did I have to storm off so far from camp! I...I could die out here! I'm gonna be eaten by a bear or a lumberjack or something!

Donnel: Lissa? Miss Lissa, can you hear me? Where are ya, Lissa?

Lissa: D-Donny?! Over here! I'm here, Donny!

Donnel: Oh, thank goodness. I was worried ya... Huh? What's up with yer leg, Lissa?

Lissa: I sort of... twisted my ankle...

Donnel: Lemme have a look at that... Pig slop! There ain't no "sort of" about it. Ya done sprained it bad. Here, hop on m'back.

Lissa: What? You don't have to...

Donnel: Just hurry up and climb on! ...Er, please. There's talk'a bandits showin' up all over these parts, so we best skedaddle.

Lissa: A-all right.

Donnel: ...Hup! All right, you hang on now! I'll have us back in two shakes.

Lissa: S-say, Donny? Were you out looking for me this whole time? ...I'm so sorry. I make a pretty terrible older sister.

Donnel: Aw, that ain't true at all, Lissa. I'm just happy ya care about me. Yer always so nice to me and all...

Lissa: Heh... I'd say the same thing for you, Donny.

S Support

Donnel: ......

Lissa: What are you up to, Donny? And what is that? A ring?

Donnel: Gah! L-Lissa... This, uh... I was just...

Lissa: Wait, is that what I think it is?

Donnel: ...Y-ye, ma'am, I reckon it is.

Lissa: You can't!

Donnel: Huh...?

Lissa: Y-you're... You're not ready!

Donnel: ...Too soon, eh?

Lissa: I mean, sure, you're more reliable than I'd thought... And more knowledgeable, and kind, and able to survive on your own in the world... Wait, maybe you ARE ready... No, no, no! What am I saying?! A thousand times no!

Donnel: Yeah, all right. I reckon yer just lookin' out for me. 'Sides, it's crazy to think a farm boy like me could be with a princess...

Lissa: Wait, what? Donny, who are you talking about?

Donnel: I'm sorry, Lissa. You were a little bit nice to me and I went and got the wrong idea. Won't mention it ever again, though, don't ya worry. I'll just be goin' now...

Lissa: Hey, wait! You were planning to give that to ME?

Donnel: ...Yeah?

Lissa: Augh, stupid Donny! Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, STUPID!

Donnel: Awww! C'mon now, I done said I was sorry...

Lissa: How can you just give up so easily?! I never said I WOULDN'T accept!

Donnel: Huh? Then...

Lissa: Donny, I would love to marry you!

Donnel: Er, are ya sure? I'm just a big ol' pig slopper from the sticks...

Lissa: I know.

Donnel: So if ya get hitched to me, you'll be givin' up on bein' a high-class society lady. No more big dresses or fancy balls or them masks that make ya look like a cat... It'd just about kill me to take yer dreams away from ya.

Lissa: Hee hee! This isn't the most convincing proposal, Donny. Besides, none of that stopped you from getting that ring for me, did it?

Donnel: Well, no, but...

Lissa: You're not taking anything away from me. You're just giving me a new dream.

Donnel: ...Yeah?

Lissa: Yes. A dream of starting a happy family with you.

Donnel: Golly, Lissa...

Lissa: And I can become a true lady anywhere! ...Even on a pig farm. It isn't about clothes or dances. It's a matter of character, integrity, and grace. I intend to have all that. A true lady, a happy wife, and a good mother... And I couldn't be any of those things without you. So, will you help me?

Donnel: Ye-haw! Ya bet yer life I will! Oh, I swear I'll make ya the happiest girl in the world!

Lissa: You already have, Donny.

Sully: Rraaagh!
Soldier: I yield! I yield! M-mercy!
Donnel: She's just like one of them knights out'a the stories Ma used to tell! I'm jealous somethin' fierce...
Sully: I'm not LIKE a knight, kid. I AM a knight.
Donnel: Urk! Ya heard me then, did ya?
Sully: Half the camp hears your every thought! You're not exactly subtle.
Donnel: B-beggin' your pardon, Sir Ma'am! I didn't mean nothin' by it. So, uh, do ya think maybe you could tell me what bein' a knight's like?
Sully: As long as you promise to stop calling me "Sir Ma'am." Why are you asking, anyway? Thinking of becoming a knight?
Donnel: Oh, gosh, no! It's just that knights and such is the stuff'a legend to me. Ain't never seen one back on the farm, and now here you are, and... Well, I reckon I'm curious, is all.
Sully: Curious to see how close I am to your storybook version?
Donnel: I ain't tryin' to impose on ya. If it's a big ol' hassle, just say so.
Sully: It's fine. Come find me at dinner. We can talk there.
Donnel: Thank you, Sir Ma... Er, Sully! That's mighty kind of ya!

B Support

Donnel: Thanks again for before, Sully. Mighty kind of ya to take the time.
Sully: What, our chat about knights? I'm just glad someone actually cares.
Donnel: Ya mean that? 'Cause I'd sure love to hear more, if ya don't mind none.
Sully: Oh, come on. It couldn't have been that interesting.
Donnel: I reckon not to you, but it's a whole new world to me!
Sully: Hmm... All right, then. Let's barter.
Donnel: Barter? Ah, shucks, Sully. I ain't got nothin' to offer. 'Less you wanna take an IOU on a couple'a piglets...
Sully: I don't want your livestock, Donny. I want your stories.
Donnel: You want me to tell ya 'bout life back on the pig farm? Well, it ain't like I mind talkin', but farm life's dull as rocks.
Sully: To you? Sure. But to me, it's probably going to be fascinating. I grew up in a damn castle, remember? I'm curious how you farm folk live.
Donnel: Well, I reckon I owe ya a tale or two. What say I come find ya at dinner?
Sully: I reckon that sounds great.
Donnel: Hey! Ya sound just like me!

A Support

Sully: Heya, Donny. Thanks for the wild stories the other night.
Donnel: Ya mean like the one 'bout the greased-pig run? Why, sure! Farmin' ain't as glamorous as knightin', but I s'pose we have our laughs.
Sully: I'd never have guessed how much fun I missed out on as a city girl.
Donnel: I wouldn't be too eager to trade lives if I was you.
Sully: Hmm?
Donnel: Well, I hate to spoil the fun, but there's lots on the farm what ain't a hoot. Stories I told only covered the good times. There's plenty what ruin a year's crop. Flood, drought, raiders... Plus, we lose pigs to sickness darn near every season. Yessir, the farmin' life's a hard one, and no denyin'.
Sully: I'm sure you're right, but knighthood's no bed of roses, either. Sure, it's glamorous, but there's politics and backstabbing behind the scenes. And you've got to follow the orders you're given, even when they're stupid. Believe me, farmers aren't the only ones with troubles.
Donnel: So you was just cherry-pickin' the good stories too, eh?
Sully: Maybe we should sit down and swap horror stories next time.
Donnel: I don't much go in for scary talk. Ain't got the stomach for it.
Sully: No, not literal horror stories. ...Just the less-happy ones. You can't understand someone's world until you know both sides of it.
Donnel: I reckon yer right about that... All right, then. It's a deal!

S Support

Sully: Hey, Donny. You up for another story session?
Donnel: Well, sure, but... Do ya really wanna hear more'a me flappin' my gums? Ain't I keepin' ya from other things? ...From other people?
Sully: You aren't keeping me from a damn thing. Look, if you're tired of our little chats, just say so.
Donnel: It ain't like that at all, Sully! Heck, I like talkin' to you more'n about anything.
Sully: Then get to it! I'm always interested in what you have to say.
Donnel: Oh gosh! Is she sayin'... Wait, she ain't sayin' she's INTERESTED interested, right?
Sully: Er, Donny? You're mumbling like a madman again.
Donnel: But she ain't said she AIN'T either... Hmm, but no...
Sully: Hey! Mumbles! If you've got something to say, then out with it!
Donnel: Gah, fine! Here! Take it!
Sully: ...Is this a ring?
Donnel: Oh gosh, Sully! Marry me, please!
Sully: ......
Donnel: Aw, heck. This ain't how I wanted it to go, but I was fixin' to burst if I didn't ask ya! I told ya my whole life's story, the good and the bad, and ya listened to it all. I knows yer a knight and a beautiful lady and I'm just a grubby ol' pig farmer. But ya listened, and ya cared, and darn it all if that don't make me love ya.
Sully: Pig farming's not so grubby.
Donnel: Ya wouldn't say that after muckin' stalls for ten years.
Sully: But it's honest. I know the work is hard, your village is poor, and times are lean... But I'd take the smelliest sty over the festering rot you find in court society. There's a beauty to farm life. That much is clear, listening to your stories. And I think I might like to give it a try.
Donnel: Then... Will ya...?
Sully: Yes, Donny. Once this war is over, I'll experience farm life, firsthand.
Donnel: Yee-haw! I feel like I'm dreamin'! Someone pinch ol' Donny!

Donnel: Mmm... Hmm... Aw, pig plop! This is all mumbo jumbo to me!
Stahl: Are you trying to read that magic scroll? Good gods, Donny. Here now, take a break and have a soothing cup of nettle tea. It's a little bitter, but it'll settle your nerves if you can keep it down.
Donnel: Thank ya kindly, Stahl.
Stahl: Think nothing of it. And once you're calm, THEN start thinking about what kind of soldier you want to be.
Donnel: How'd ya know that's what I was doin'? I ain't said nothin' about it to ya.
Stahl: This morning you were picking locks, then you were practicing archery. Now I find you attempting to decipher a scroll to "smite thine enemies with fire". Either you're incredibly bored, or you aren't satisfied with your current role.
Donnel: Welp, I s'pose the cat's outta the bag now... Hey, Stahl. Yer pretty clever. What do ya reckon I should do?
Stahl: Well, I don't know anything about tomes or magic staves... But I'm a keen student of weapons, especially sharp ones. You could do what I did and watch the experienced sellswords and knights.
Donnel: And then I could learn what weapon might work best fer me! Gosh, that's a dilly of an idea!
Stahl: But remember, it's not enough to just pick a weapon you like. You need training and— Did he just leave? Good heavens, he's an eager one, isn't he?

B Support

Donnel: Howdy, Stahl! Just the gentleman I was hopin' to run into.
Stahl: Do you have a question?
Donnel: Could you...go over yonder? ...No, just a little bit farther.
Stahl: Are you trying to make me fall into that pit trap you dug?
Donnel: Aw, donkey bottoms! I ain't never gonna get the hang of this.
Stahl: Easy, Donny. Don't look so glum. You still have time to learn.
Donnel: But I done tried so many different things, and I'm useless at all of 'em! I just wanna find one thing I'm better at than everyone else. Thought it might be booby traps, but shuck my corn if that's the case now...
Stahl: Trying to be better than everyone is an ambitious goal that few ever achieve. Take me for example. Average strength, skills, and looks. Nothing stands out. Compared to everyone else in the Shepherds, I'm as dull as can be.
Donnel: Aw, Stahl, that ain't true! ...Well, maybe it's a bit true.
Stahl: The point is, Donny, I still have a role. We can't all be the best at something, but we CAN all provide a unique blend of skills.
Donnel: So we're the best...at bein' ourselves? Reckon that ain't much of anythin'.
Stahl: Just keep practicing what you know, and take care of yourself on the battlefield. Talents will come to light when you least expect them.
Donnel: Well, if ya say so...

A Support

Stahl: With every battle, the enemy grows more numerous and deadly...
Donnel: Ain't that the truth! Sure am glad we got Robin plottin' strategy for us. <He's/She's> awful good at gettin' the most outta this here army.
Stahl: Ah, so you've noticed.
Donnel: Sure have! With Robin at the helm, everything's easy! We just gotta carry out orders as best we can.
Stahl: And the battle is not won by those who are best at one thing, is it? It takes all of us working in unison to achieve victory. Of course, we must take the time to hone and improve our skills... But in the end, how we fight as a group determines if we shall prevail.
Donnel: Gosh, Stahl! When you put it like that, it makes me sound pretty important.
Stahl: That's because you are! Now then, I think it's time for our midday meal. Shall we go to— ...Waaah!
Donnel: Yee-haw! Looks like I'm better at trap settin' than you are at trap spottin'! Gosh, but you sure looked funny when that fake floor collapsed under yer feet!
Stahl: Yes, that was...very clever. Now get me out of here!

Miriel: ......
Donnel: Hey! Miriel!
Miriel: Gwaugh?! What is it? Why are you shouting?
Donnel: I tried gettin' yer attention, but you was off in yer own world.
Miriel: Yes. When I read, I often immerse myself in it to the exclusion of all else.
Donnel: Seems like yer always readin', Miriel.
Miriel: I strive to utilize my time efficaciously. What free time I have, I spend reading.
Donnel: I reckon ya must'a studied a whole bunch by now, huh?
Miriel: I cannot say whether the breadth of my scholarship constitutes "a bunch." But I have studied more than the average person, that much is incontrovertible.
Donnel: In that case, I got a favor I wanna ask ya for... Miriel, will ya teach me?
Miriel: Teach you what?
Donnel: Er, I dunno. Math and science and all that kinda stuff, I guess.
Miriel: Why?
Donnel: If I learn my subjects now, I'll be able to help my village when the war's done. We got no school back home, so there ain't no one what knows about book learnin'.
Miriel: I can instruct you in the basic theories of the usual courses. You may, however, find none of it to be of immediate practical use.
Donnel: Well, so long as I know the theory, I can always think up ways to use it.
Miriel: Are you literate?
Donnel: Ol' Goatkeep Gran knew her letters. She taught me how to read all right.
Miriel: I cannot instruct you beyond the bounds of my own ken, but I will attempt the basics.
Donnel: Well, much obliged then, Miriel!
Miriel: Be forewarned—I am not easy on my pupils.
Donnel: I wouldn't want ya to be!

Miriel: ...Let us conclude today's lesson here.
Donnel: Whew! Good. I'm beat.
Miriel: Unsurprising. We covered material of exceptional complexity today. But that is not to say these lessons have been entirely free of surprises.
Donnel: Oh? Like what?
Miriel: For one, the voracity with which you attack your studies is remarkable. I acceded to your request for tutelage with the expectation you would lose interest. Yet here you are, having already mastered some of the more difficult concepts.
Donnel: Aw, shucks. I'm barely keepin' up! And I ain't sure I got a perfect grasp on it, neither.
Miriel: Even an imperfect grasp, in conjunction with a diligent attitude, is sufficient to advance. Often a nuanced, intuitive understanding is something that develops organically.
Donnel: Er, if you say so, Miriel.
Miriel: Given this rate of acquisition, you might...
Donnel: Hmm? You say somethin'?
Miriel: Nothing of import. Now then, class is dismissed. Be certain to review the material before our next lesson.
Donnel: Yes, ma'am!

Miriel: I finished grading your examination.
Donnel: How'd I do?
Miriel: A perfect score. Exemplary work.
Donnel: Yee-haw!
Miriel: That concludes a canvass of the primary precepts of academic study. My lessons end here.
Donnel: They do? Gosh, I think I'm gonna miss 'em.
Miriel: But there is no end to learning. From today hence, you will be navigating the sea of knowledge by your own sextant.
Donnel: All by m'self, huh?
Miriel: Worry not. To extrapolate from the present data, you possess considerable aptitude. Continue to apply yourself, and you will find ample success in any academic pursuits.
Donnel: But I'd still rather be sailin' them seas with you, Miriel.
Miriel: I must recommend against such a joint venture.
Donnel: Why do ya say that?
Miriel: Empirical data shows that no previous attempt at such a partnership has survived. I have not always been without colleagues interested in collaborative investigation... Yet, ultimately, none were ever able to sustain the arrangement.
Donnel: Well, why not?
Miriel: According to them, I exhibit a tendency to press onward to new territory alone. Even I am aware that I tend to lose sight of all else when immersed in thought. As such, continuing my studies alone is the only natural conclusion.
Donnel: That ain't true at all!
Miriel: Hmm?
Donnel: It's their own fault for not keepin' up! Just 'cause they got lazy don't mean you should have to study alone forever.
Miriel: That is a fascinating theory.
Donnel: Let me join ya, Miriel. I'll do all I can to keep up! You said yourself I been makin' progress faster'n you thought!
Miriel: To use a metaphor, the path ahead is steeper still, and the footing unsure. There will be times I am unable to point the way. Are you certain you want this?
Donnel: Well all that sailin' talk had me nervous, but I'm a mountain boy. Climbin'? Now THAT I can do!

Donnel: Your studies been goin' well lately, Miriel?
Miriel: Quite smoothly, yes. Thanks to you. Many a time, you've provided the clue to surmount a current stumbling block. As the conventional wisdom goes, two heads appear empirically superior to one.
Donnel: Oh. That's real nice. So, um... I wanted to talk at ya about that today.
Miriel: About having two heads? You know that scientifically, this is highly improbable. ...Ah. Or perhaps you're finding it difficult to pursue studies in conjunction with me?
Donnel: Naw, it ain't that! It's the opposite, actually.
Miriel: Go on.
Donnel: I want us to be more conjuncted! Er, I wanna conjunct different... Shoot. Here! I wanna give ya this!
Miriel: A ring.
Donnel: It's a weddin' ring. I was hopin' ya might consent to be m'wife. I wanna keep explorin' things with ya as long as I live!
Miriel: I see no requisite for marriage in pursuing a joint exploration of academic studies.
Donnel: Well, no, I reckon not. So does that mean ya won't?
Miriel: However, accepting this ring would enable a host of other exploratory pursuits. And each of them could be undertaken as a collaboration with you... I can scarce think of a more exhilarating prospect.
Donnel: Um, could ya please just say yes or no?
Miriel: ...Very well. I accept. A broad array of new frontiers now lie open before us.
Donnel: And we got the rest of our lives to explore 'em together!

Kellam: You're planting bilberry bushes, aren't you? They're my favorite crop. You know, if you mix the soil with clover and pig dung, the berries get extra juicy.
Donnel: Shuck my corn! I never knew you was a farmer!
Kellam: Well, my father tilled the soil, but my brothers and I helped out in the fields. If you want, I could help you out, too.
Donnel: That's a mighty kind offer, Kellam! I'd surely 'preciate it! I'm plantin' the bushes in pots so's I can move 'em about, but there's just so many... Folks think berry pickin's a doddle, but they're dead wrong.
Kellam: It's been a while since I mucked around in the soil. Truth is, I kind of miss it.

Donnel: A'yup. It's a real head-scratcher. *scratch, scratch* Gosh darn it! I water 'em every day and talk to 'em each evenin'! Heck, I even tried singin'!
Kellam: Perhaps they're not getting enough nutrients? A problem with the soil?
Donnel: Well, now that you mention it... When we all rushed out to meet the last attack, some'a them pots got knocked over. I righted 'em as fast I could and grabbed some earth to replace the soil what spilled.
Kellam: Ah! Perhaps the earth you added doesn't suit the plants?
Donnel: But how am I gonna replace it? If what you say is right, then the dirt 'round these parts ain't no good.
Kellam: Well, we could skim a bit of the good soil from each of the healthy pots. There must be hundreds of them in the stores, so there's plenty to go around.
Donnel: Say now... That might just work! You're as clever as an old fox, Kellam!
Kellam: Oh, I'm no smarter than the next man. I just spend a lot of time alone. It gives me plenty of opportunities to think.

Donnel: Well, every animal's got its own unique way of goin' about its business. Some of it's instinct, some's reflex. So if ya use that knowledge to design a trap...
Panne: This is the result.
Donnel: Yup. Take this one here. There's a dozen other traps you passed before it. Bet you noticed all'a them, right? Well, yer s'posed to. They're decoys. I set them boys up to guide the animal into this here real trap.

Cordelia: I never thought to hear that song sung by a simple villager.
Donnel: Hey, Cordelia! Reckon ya know that song too, huh?
Cordelia: Any pegasus knight worth her wings knows that one, Donnel. But I had always thought it was nearly unknown outside the order.
Donnel: A lady visited my village—donkey's years ago, it was—and taught me the words. I confess I don't really get what it's about, exactly... But it's a rousin' tune what makes me think of bravery and valiant derrin'-do!
Cordelia: Well, it IS about bravery. It celebrates the exploits of one of history's greatest pegasus knights.
Donnel: Well, ain't that somethin'?
Cordelia: Yes. She lived back in the legendary times of the first exalt of Ylisse. She was his greatest knight and his most stalwart defender. She watched over him like the sun itself, swooping down to dispatch foes. The slow, heavy knights feared her aerial dance most of all. At night they huddled together and told tales of a death-dealing lance from the sky.
Donnel: Gosh! She sounds mighty impressive.
Cordelia: Oh, she was. But she was more than just a warrior. She had the courage of a demon, yes, but the heart of an angel. They say the people loved her even more than she loved the exalt. In fact, for every foe she defeated, she won two more to her side with her charisma.
Donnel: Golly! Tough as a badger, but charmin' as an old fox! Reckon I can see why they wrote such a fine song for her.

Donnel: What I'm really here for is to give ya this here ring.
Cordelia: Oh. What's it for?
Donnel: Well, I guess I'm hopin' you'll wear it. I've been spendin' a lot of time thinkin' about ya. Both good points and bad. And frankly, I ain't had much time lately to do anythin' else.
Cordelia: ...Ah. I think I understand now. This is an engagement ring, isn't it?
Donnel: Yep.
Cordelia: Well, what a coincidence. I have something for you, too.
Donnel: Ya do?
Cordelia: Let me just grab it right... Oof! ...Here.
Donnel: Creepin' carrots, this is heavy! How much paper ya use in this stack?
Cordelia: I've spent a great deal of time listing your good and bad points. That's my final report.
Donnel: Gosh! Ya came up with way more stuff than the last time... S'pose I got a whole mess'a things to fix this time, huh?
Cordelia: Quite a few, yes. I don't believe in sugarcoating the truth, as you know.
Donnel: Aw, horse pucky! What'n the heck was I thinkin'? I'm just some dumb farm boy what tried to marry a pegasus knight!
Cordelia: Oh, dear. It seems I missed one of your faults. Here, give me that. I'll just write it in on the last page... "Comes to hasty conclusions."
Donnel: ...Reckon I'm a hair confused.
Cordelia: Oh, I already have "easily confused." It's back on page 19. But anyway, what makes you think I'm turning down your proposal?
Donnel: Ain't it obvious? Look at this huge list of stuff about me what needs fixin'!
Cordelia: When you were thinking of my faults and strengths, you fell in love with me. ...Right? Well, I think the same thing happened to me when I was making your lists.
Donnel: And you started likin' me in spite'a all...THIS?
Cordelia: I did indeed. And so, Donnel, yes. I accept your proposal.
Donnel: Yeeeeee-haw!
Cordelia: Of course, once we're married, we'll likely have to expand these lists a great deal. Getting to know you will be an adventure—I'll have to remember to sharpen my quill!
Donnel: Er, yeah. An adventure! ...Definitely. Ha ha...yeargh.
