=== Timerra & Veyle === --- C --- [Veyle] ... [Veyle] I thought I was going to die! I mean, I'm pretty sure I did die. Twice! [Veyle] I screamed so hard I lost my voice at one point. [Timerra] So, what'd you think of your first time tearing it up on wolfback? [Veyle] It was...exciting. But mostly terrifying. [Timerra] Haha! You're such a kidder, Lady Veyle! [Veyle] But I'm not kidding. Not even a little bit. [Veyle] It's a miracle I'm still alive. In fact, I can't believe I am alive. [Timerra] Takes your mind off everything though, right? Couldn't you feel your worries just...float away? [Veyle] Heh...I guess you could say that. [Timerra] Good. You looked a little tense earlier. I thought this might be a good way to unwind. [Veyle] I do sometimes wonder if it's OK for me to be here with all of you. [Timerra] I hear ya. But next time you start feeling like that, you let me know, all right? [Timerra] We can tear it up to the horizon and back! [Veyle] OK. I will. And Timerra...thank you. --- B --- [Veyle] I told her I couldn't do it! [Veyle] I told her I wasn't ready to ride a wolf all by myself! What was she thinking? [Timerra] Was that fun, or was that fun? [Veyle] I thought I was going to die! [Timerra] I thought you would too! Nearly went right over that cliff. [Veyle] I didn't know how to turn! And I didn't know I didn't know how until I was already riding! [Timerra] Well, you made it! All you needed was a little effort and a positive attitude. [Veyle] All I needed was a miracle. [Timerra] But hey, really cleared your mind, huh? [Veyle] I mean, I was so scared I couldn't actually think. So...yes? [Timerra] Good! You're learning. The biggest thrills in life always involve a little fear. [Veyle] Hehe... [Veyle] I'm sure you're right, Timerra. It is good to do things that make us uncomfortable. [Timerra] Exactly! Now, come on! Round two! [Veyle] What?! Round two? Must I? --- A --- [Veyle] My goodness, that was so much fun! [Timerra] Hahaha! Looks like somebody's not scared of riding wolves anymore. [Veyle] It's true! I've conquered my fear. [Veyle] Thank you so much, Timerra. [Timerra] Don't mention it. Um...is something wrong? You look a little misty-eyed. [Veyle] It's just...you always treat me like I'm a normal person. [Timerra] All I did was plonk you onto a wolf and say "go." [Veyle] That's it exactly. [Veyle] You treat me like...a friend. It makes me happy. [Timerra] Hehehe! If you're happy, I'm happy. Though, I guess I didn't realize all of this was so special. [Veyle] It is. Very special. [Veyle] I don't think I can thank you enough. [Timerra] Aww, it was nothing, Lady Veyle. Honest. [Veyle] Heh... [Veyle] So, I guess you'll be returning to Solm after the war is over? [Veyle] You'll probably be really busy...getting ready to be the next queen and all of that. [Timerra] Yeah. It feels like my to-do list is as big as the queendom itself. [Veyle] I suppose we won't be able to hang out with each other anymore, like normal friends. [Timerra] What, you think I'll become a total fuddy-duddy when I'm queen? [Timerra] Give me a little credit. [Timerra] I'll sneak out of the palace to hang out with you, if that's what it takes. [Timerra] And we will hang out. A lot! No matter what my title is. Because that's what friends do. [Veyle] I'd...really like that, Timerra. [Veyle] Yeah, it's a plan! --- S ---
