Selkie: Grrrrr!

Avatar: Selkie?! Why are you growling at me like that?

Selkie: RAWR!

Avatar: OK, I can see that you're upset. But can we talk this through?

Selkie: Ugh, FINE. I just want to know why you interrupted me in that battle!

Avatar: You mean when you were about to finish off that opponent?

Selkie: Yeah! We're supposed to be on the same team. What were you thinking?

Avatar: Selkie, that opponent was already defeated. I stopped you out of mercy.

Selkie: Defeated? He was still alive. He could have healed and attacked any one of us! Besides, when I'm in my animal form, it's not easy to just pull back like that. You of all people should understand.

Avatar: I'm afraid that I don't have the same kind of hunting instinct that you do. But I must ask you, for all our sakes, to remain focused on the battlefield. Think about how your actions are impacting the greater cause.

Selkie: Meh, I don't get it. You're going to have to do better than that.

Selkie: Oh, Avatar...

Avatar: Selkie? What's the matter?
Avatar: And what's that in your mouth?
Selkie: *nom *nom* *nom*
Selkie: It was a bird, of course! I was going to see if you wanted one.
Selkie: So...do you? It'd only take me a minute to catch another.
Avatar: Thanks, but no thanks.
Selkie: Your loss! Bird meat is delicious because it's so fatty.
Selkie: Mmm... I may need to catch another one for myself...
Avatar: You must be a pretty good hunter if it's that easy for you to catch a bird.
Selkie: Well, I don't mean to brag, but I once caught 50 birds in a day.
Selkie: But...I don't catch that many anymore.
Avatar: Oh? Why's that?
Selkie: Well, my dad told me that if I keep on catching that many, they'll disappear.
Selkie: So, I usually only catch one or two if I'm hungry or if I want to sell one at market.
Avatar: That seems quite reasonable.
Avatar: And...it sort of relates to what we were talking about the other day.
Selkie: I don't remember... What were we talking about?
Avatar: Remember the soldier you felled in battle?
Avatar: You were going in for the coup de grace, and I stopped you.
Selkie: The coup de what now?
Avatar: You were going to kill him, Selkie. Even though he no longer posed a threat.
Avatar: Sometimes it's important to show a little mercy.
Avatar: You never know... It could come back and benefit you later.
Selkie: Or HE could come back from his injury and stab me when I'm not looking!
Avatar: It's possible...but unlikely, given that both of his arms were broken.
Avatar: Anyway, the point is that that soldier could have offered us information.
Avatar: And what if you found yourself in a similar situation?
Avatar: Disarmed, disabled, but still alive... Would you want a second chance?
Selkie: Hmm...
Avatar: There's a certain balance to the world, I think.
Avatar: We'd do well not to disrupt it.
Selkie: Balance, eh?
Selkie: All right, got it.
Selkie: Thanks, Avatar!
Avatar: I hope it got through...

Selkie: Avatar! Avatar! Did you see me?
Avatar: Hi, Selkie. Did I see you...when?
Selkie: In the last battle, silly!
Avatar: Ah, I did! You stopped attacking the moment the enemy lost the will to fight.
Avatar: I was extremely proud of your judgement.
Selkie: Yay! I told you I understood your lesson. And I knew you'd be proud.
Avatar: So, how did it feel? Were you worried about a fallen enemy springing back to life?
Selkie: A little bit, to be honest.
Selkie: And I also really like fighting, so it was hard to stop when I was having fun...
Selkie: But what you said makes a lot of sense.
Selkie: If I catch all the birds at once, I won't have the fun of catching them later!
Avatar: Excellent. I'm sure glad you're on my side, Selkie.
Selkie: Me too, Avatar! See you later!
Avatar: I wish I could be that carefree at the end of a bloody battle...

Selkie: Hey, Avatar! Get over here! *pounce*
Avater: Selkie! What are you doing? Get off of me!
Selkie: What? What's the big deal? You don't wanna wrestle?
Avatar: No! I...I don't think it's appropriate.
Selkie: Pfft. Appropriate? I wrestle like this with all of my friends!
Avatar: Well...I guess I've been starting to think of us as more than just friends, Selkie.
Selkie: Oh, yeah! You're totally like my BEST friends these days.
Selkie: And you're also kinda like a teacher. I've learned a ton from you.
Avatar: Er, I'd rather that you didn't think of me that way...
Selkie: Heehee! Too bad, teach! Now, try and get out of this headlock!
Avatar: Selkie! I said stop!
Selkie: Aww, you really mean it, huh?
Avatar: Yes, Selkie. I do.
Avatar: I'm sorry for pushing you away like that.
Selkie: No, I'm sorry for being so wild and goofy.
Selkie: Do...do you hate me?
Avatar: No! Just the opposite! I mean...
Avatar: Ugh...why is this so hard?
Selkie: Just say whatever it is you're trying to say, silly!
Selkie: As long as you don't hate me, I promise I won't get offended.
Avatar: OK. Here goes.
Avatar: I...I think you're really cute, Selkie.
Selkie: Is that it? 'Cause I think you're cute too, dum-dum.
Avatar: But..it's more than that.
Avatar: When you're around, my heart starts racing and I get flustered...
Selkie: Well, that sounds like...
Avatar: I'm in love with you.
Avatar: There, I said it. Now I guess you can go ahead and put me in that headlock...
Selkie: Aww, if I put you in a headlock, it's going to be a headlock of love.
Avatar: So, er...somewhat like a hug?
Selkie: Yeah! I think I'm in love with you, too. This is great!
Avatar: Is this really happening? Surely love can't be this easy...
Selkie: Why not? It should be the easiest thing in the world, shouldn't it?
Avatar: Well, it seems you're the one who should be offering me lessons.
Avatar: Because I think you're right.
Selkie: Aww, you're the best! Get ready for a love tackle!

Selkie: Hey, Avatar! Wait up!
Avatar: Selkie? How can I help you?
Selkie: You have horns, right? On your head?
Avatar: Um...
Selkie: You know what I mean. When you turn into a dragon. You have horns?
Avatar: Yes, I suppose I do.
Avatar: Although I haven't spent much time looking in the mirror as a dragon.
Selkie: Well, that's too bad because they look AMAZING on you.
Selkie: I wish I had a set of my own...
Selkie: But kitsune don't grow horns.
Avatar: But you have such a lovely tail and cute fuzzy ears!
Avatar: I'm not sure horns would complement the overall look...
Selkie: Bah! Cute, schmoot. I want to look tough!
Selkie: Will you come hunting for a cool set of horns with me?
Avatar: Hunting for horns? I don't understand.
Selkie: Jeez, do I have to explain everything to you?
Selkie: I'm going to get them from a deer! Their horns just grow back anyway.
Avatar: Well, first of all, deer have antlers.
Avatar: Secondly, how are you going to attach-
Selkie: All right! It's decided! Let's go! Woohoo!
Avatar: OK, then...

Avatar: What do you think, Selkie? Should we call it a day?
Selkie: Aww! If I were hunting these deer for real, I'd have caught ALL of 'em.
Selkie: But when I'm trying to be all nice and capture one alive, it just runs away!
Selkie: Stupid deer! Don't they know I just want their antlers?
Avatar: I'd call them SMART deer for running away from a predator like you.
Avatar: But I can see you're frustrated. And I'm exhausted.
Avatar: Running around all day at your pace has really wiped me out.
Selkie: You're tired? I have just the thing. Wait here!
Avatar: Selkie?
Selkie: Here you go! A canteen of fresh springwater, ice cold!
Avatar: Oh, that's just what I needed. But where did you find it?
Selkie: There's a hidden spring just around the bend from here.
Selkie: It's one of my little secrets!
Avatar: Well, thank you! I feel refreshed enough to keep on hunting. C'mon, let's go!
Selkie: Nah, that's OK. I don't want to waste any more of your time.
Avatar: Really? Are you sure? I know how much you want a set of antlers.
Selkie: It's all right. I had a lot of fun today just racing all around the woods with you.
Selkie: Besides, I'm hungry. Let's go home!
Avatar: Well, if you're sure...
Selkie: Yep! I'll race ya back to camp!

Avatar: Hey, Selkie. What are you up to? What's that book you're reading?
Selkie: Hi, Avatar! I was just looking through this amazing picture book. Check out this horse. Crazy horn, right? And look how many horns this monster has!
Avatar: Yes, those are some impressive creatures. But... I hope you're not still worried about not having any horns of your own...
Selkie: Well...
Avatar: Because... I think your fuzzy little ears and tail are pretty darn cute. Everyone already knows you're fierce--you don't need horns to prove anything. I guess what I'm saying is... I think you're pretty great just the way you are.
Selkie: Really? You mean that?
Avatar: Of course! If anything, I'm a little envious of your look.
Selkie: Aww, you're too nice, Avatar. But you should know that I'm actually totally happy with the way I look. I thought some horns would be cool, sure... But I also just wanted an excuse to play with you in the forest!
Avatar: Well, that's great! I'm really glad to hear that. So, you're all done questing for horns and antlers and other types of trophies?
Selkie: Nope! Now we've gotta go get you a pair of cute fuzzy ears just like mine! Since you like 'em so much, you know!
Avatar: Um...
Selkie: What? You don't have to wear 'em when you're a dragon or anything. Plus, it'd be another great chance to go running in the forest. Wheeee!
Avatar: Selkie, we don't need an excuse to go hang out in the forest. We can just go! So, please... let's not scalp the ears and tail off any poor woodland creature...
Selkie: OK, sounds good to me. Let's go!

Avatar: Selkie, is that blood?!
Selkie: Yep! I was exploring in the forest, and I think I fell off a cliff or two. Heehee!
Avatar: Does it hurt? Do we need to go see the healer again?
Selkie: Aww, I'm fine. I just scraped my knees a little bit. Everything still works the way it's supposed to. See?
Avatar: Y-Yes, I see... But our living room is not an obstacle course, dear. I appreciate your exuberant spirit, but I wish you'd be more careful.
Selkie: Grr, that's no fun! What am I supposed to do?
Avatar: Have you thought about all the things you can do indoors? You could keep a diary, or make a pillow fort, or learn to cook.
Selkie: I dunno... Sounds boring. Oh! I have an idea! Let's play dress-up! We can put on makeup and everything.
Avatar: Ah, that's an idea! Learning something new is always a good time.
Selkie: Yay! Let's do it! Gimme that lipstick!
Avatar: Not just yet, Selkie. This is going to take some preparation. I'll let you know when I've gathered everything. It shouldn't be long.

Avatar: Are you ready for your makeup lesson, Selkie?
Selkie: Oh yeah! Bring it on!
Avatar: I have so many types and shades, I'm not sure where to start. What did you-
Selkie: War paint! Right under the eyes with lipstick! I want green - do you have green?
Avatar: Yes, but there's an important step that comes first. Before anything else, you need to put on some foundation.
Selkie: You mean this powdery stuff? I think it's gonna make me sneeze.
Selkie: AH-CHOO! Oh no...it's everywhere!
Avatar: Aaah...! Careful, Selkie! We need some of that to end up on your face!
Selkie: *sniff* I'm sorry, Mom. I'm screwing everything up, aren't I?
Avatar: Don't cry, dear. It'll streak your makeup, for one thing... Why don't you just watch today? I'll put on my usual makeup, and you can see how I do it. Then you'll be ready to try whatever you want on yourself!
Selkie: Really? OK...that sounds good.
Avatar: Now then, there's a lot you can do with makeup. It all depends on how you're aiming to present yourself.
Selkie: Fierce! I want to look like I could rip your head off with my teeth. Rawr! I mean, not YOUR head, Mom. Anyway, make me look fierce!

Selkie: There's just one problem...
Avatar: A problem? What's wrong, dear?
Selkie: Well, I loved the makeup, but it took so long to put on. I'd kind of rather spend that time outside playing and running.
Avatar: I...I see.
Selkie: Oh! But that doesn't mean I didn't like being with you. It was really fun to see how you put it all together. I guess what I'm saying is... Sometimes I want to do makeup with you, but other times...
Selkie: I want to run and play outside with you!
Avatar: Whichever you want is fine with me. Being your mother has made me ready for anything...
Selkie: It has? Yay!
Avatar: In fact, I know a nice, cool pond not far from here we could go swimming in.

Selkie: Daddy! I got a question!
Kaden: What's up, Selkie? If your question is how to give your fur a lustrous glow, you're in the right place!
Selkie: Nah. What I wanna know is, what's the kitsune hamlet like?
Kaden: Oh! That's right, you've never been to the mountains where we come from, huh?
Selkie: Nope. There's a bunch of kitsune like us there, right? I've never seen one before! Except me.
Kaden: And me, right?
Selkie: Oh yeah! You too. I can't wait to meet the rest!
Kaden: They're a bunch of jokers, those guys. We used to run up and down the hills as foxes all day long, eating and carrying on.
Selkie: Oh my gosh! That sounds SO fun!
Kaden: It sure was. Lots of good times there... it was a nice, laid-back place. I was almost tempted to stay on there as their leader.
Selkie: WHAAAT?! You were the grand high boss of all the kitsune?!
Kaden: Oh, did I forget to tell you that? It's true. I was.
Selkie: Wow, Daddy! That's a big deal!
Kaden: Totally is, yeah. Heheh. Man...thinking about it again makes me want to go back and visit the place.
Selkie: I wanna go with you! Pleeeease, Daddy? Will you bring me along?
Kaden: Sure. It's time I introduced you to the others anyway. It's a long way from where we are now, but I'll take you someday.

Kaden: Selkie! Thank the gods you're safe! You're OK? Did anything hurt you?
Selkie: N-nope. I'm sorry if I worried you, though.
Kaden: It's fine. At least I found you before anything terrible happened. What the heck were you doing all the way out here, though?
Selkie: Welllll...remember how we were talking about the kitsune hamlet? I couldn't stop thinking about it. I really, REALLY wanted to go see for myself. It got to where I couldn't stop myself. My feet had a mind of their own!
Kaden: Is that what this was? You were trying to find the kitsune hamlet yourself?
Selkie: Y-Yeah...but I got lost. I'm sorry, Daddy!
Kaden: It's not your fault. I shouldn't have brought the hamlet up if I didn't mean to take you. I should've known it would torture you to know about it without being able to go.
Selkie: Hey, but I asked, right? It's not your fault I left without telling anyone!
Kaden: Hmm...that's true. I guess this one's a draw.
Selkie: That's fine!
Kaden: And now that I've found you, I can give you a great big hug!
Selkie: Huh?
Kaden: I'll be honest, there's a lot of problems with going back to the hamlet right now. But I don't mind, because I'm here with you, and there's where I want to be most.
Selkie: OK! Then let me have that hug! Don't hold back, Daddy!
Kaden: Heheh! You asked for it!
Selkie: Aaah...I love this. I feel so peaceful when you hug me, Daddy.
Kaden: Feeling better now?
Selkie: Uh-huh!
Kaden: Great! You're my only daughter, after all. I'm gonna spoil you rotten!

Selkie: Are you saying this is a flower from the kitsune hamlet?!
Kaden: Yep! You find them all over where I'm from. Not so much around here, though. I thought if I showed it to you, it might feel like you were there, at least a little. That was the idea, anyway.
Selkie: Wow...! Thanks, Daddy! This is great!
Kaden: Ack! Easy there, Selkie. You almost knocked me over! I'm glad you like it, though, heheh.
Selkie: I'll keep it forever! Or... as long as lowers last, I guess.
Kaden: I intend to keep that promise, by the way. When the war's over, I'll show you around the kitsune hamlet. You can meet all my good friends! You'll have so many new playmates once they hear you're my daughter.

Mozu: Let's give it another go, huh? We can keep practicing as long as my supplies hold out. Let's see what kind of look we can put together!
Selkie: Fierce! I want to look like I could rip your head off with my teeth. Rawr! I mean, not YOUR head, Mom. Anyway, make me look fierce!

Selkie: Uh-huh! There's just one problem...
Mozu: What's wrong, honey?
Selkie: Well, I loved the makeup, but it took so long to put on. I'd kind of rather spend that time outside playing and running.
Mozu: Huh...?
Selkie: Oh! But that doesn't mean I didn't like being with you. It was really fun to see how you put it all together. I guess what I'm saying is... Sometimes I want to do makeup with you, but other times... I want to run and play outside with you!

Selkie: Grr, that's no un! What am I supposed to do?
Hinoka: I didn't say you couldn't play. Just stick to less-dangerous games. Like tag! Wait...you'd find a way to hurt yourself doing that too. I could show you how to fold paper cranes.

Selkie: War paint! Right under the eyes with lipstick! I want green-do you have green?
Hinoka: O-OK, then! It's best start with a dab of foundation, though.
Selkie: You mean this powdery stuff? I think it's gonna make me sneeze. AH-CHOO! Oh no...it's everywhere!
Hinoka: Ha ha...don't get too flustered. It washes off.
Selkie: *sniff* I'm sorry, Mom. I'm screwing everything up, aren't I?
Hinoka: Don't tell me you're giving up already! I know you're frustrated, but these things take time. How about if I stand behind you, and you can watch in a mirror as I put it on? That way, you can see how it's done and learn from yourself.

Charlotte: Maybe the next time you go exploring, I'll come along to keep an eye on you. Wouldn't that be nice dear?
Selkie: Aww, you're the best! I'm so glad you're my mom!

Selkie: Hi, Kana.
Kana: Er, why are you staring at me?
Selkie: You're neat.
Kana: Huh? I am?
Selkie: Of course! When you turn into a dragon, anyway. Then you look so big and tough. And you ARE big and tough!
Kana: Stop! You'll make me blush. I think you're neat, too, when you turn into a fox.
Selkie: You think so?
Kana: You can jump super high and run really, really, fast. I can't do that.
Selkie: You, jealous of me? When here I've been jealous of you?
Kana: I guess so. How weird. How about sometime you turn into a fox, I'll turn into a dragon, and you can ride me.
Selkie: What? That sounds like the most fun thing ever.
Kana: No way. There's got to be some way we can make it even more fun.
Selkie: We'll do that and go hunting. I'll listen for prey—you can swoop in on it!
Kana: You've got that amazing sense of hearing, after all.
Selkie: I know! So between your wings and my ears, we'll catch lots of game. We'll feast for days.
Kana: Let's meet up in the forest soon.
Selkie: I know a great hunting spot.
Kana: This plan just keeps getting better and better, Selkie. I can't wait.
Selkie: There's nothing better than fresh meat, except for lots of it. See you soon!

Selkie: I can't believe how well our hunt went, Kana!
Kana: A fox riding a dragon—how could that NOT go well? Of course, you knew exactly were I should go next.
Selkie: My ears were made to pick up on the sounds of easy meat. But the way you attack—so fast— there's no time for prey to escape.
Kana: We're a great team. And tonight we'll have a well-deserved feast.
Selkie: I can't wait to go hunting again.
Kana: I wonder what else we could do, since we work so well together?
Selkie: What else?
Kana: I bet we'd be great in battle. I mean, no enemy would be able to survive against us.
Selkie: I could use my hearing to find out who we should attack next.
Kana: And then I could unleash my dragon attacks. Perfect!
Selkie: More strategic, right?
Kana: Right. Everyone's going to be so jealous of what we can do!
Selkie: Hmm. I wonder what other fox-dragon techniques we can come up with.
Kana: We should come up with a bunch of dual attacks.
Selkie: We'll invent 'em the next time we go out hunting.
Kana: We're unstoppable.
Selkie: And hungry—time to eat?
Kana: Let's use our dual chewing techniques!

Selkie: Everyone loves our dual techniques, Kana.
Kana: We're really getting noticed.
Selkie: We deserve it. We practiced all those new fox-dragon moves so hard.
Kana: When you weren't chasing birds.
Selkie: I only did that once.Besides, even you said that it's more fun to hunt than battle.
Kana: I did? Yeah, I guess I might have said that.
Selkie: I mean, no matter what we do, it's super fun.
Kana: It's nuts how fun it is.
Selkie: I think that makes us pretty much inseparable.
Kana: Inseparable?
Selkie: OK, best friends then.
Kana: Best friends.
Selkie: So, are we going to focus on hunting or battling from now on?
Kana: Both, Selkie. I'm just lucky that I know a smart fox like you.
Selkie: And that I know a great dragon like you!

Kana: Er, well. I've been keeping a secret from you.
Selkie: Tell me! Tell me!
Kana: We've been hanging out with each other a lot.
Selkie: Oh-oh. Too much, you think?
Kana: No! Not enough! I think I sorta... like you.
Selkie: Like me? Oh, wait. You don't mean like THAT, do you? LIKE me, like me?
Kana: Don't say it like it's a bad thing. We have a lot of fun together, right?
Selkie: I... I was just caught by surprise, that's all. The thing is I sorta like you too.
Kana: What? Like, LIKE me, like me?
Selkie: Yep. How could I not? You're a dragon. I'm a fox. We're best friends. We laugh a lot too. We don't mind being completely silly in front of each other.
Kana: I... I didn't even think of that. But it's true, isn't it!
Selkie: So fine. We'll be girlfriend and boyfriend from now on.
Kana: But we'll be just the same, right?
Selkie: Just the same.
Kana: So, how about we go hunting?
Selkie: Perfect. I can hear all that scurrying prey from all the way here.
Kana: Then let's go. Get ready to jump on my back—I'm going to transform.
Selkie: Let's catch a whole heap of meat to celebrate with a feast tonight!

Selkie: Ooh! Daiseis are so pretty! *sniff* *sniff* And they smell great too!
Kana: Do you really like them?
Selkie: Yep yep! You've sure been bringing me a lot of flowers these days, though. What's got into you?
Kana: I just remembered that when I was real little, we'd go looking at flowers together. You always smiled so much. And I love your smile, Mama! So I decided to start bringing you lots and lots of flowers to help you smile!
Selkie: Aw, I'd completely forgotten about that! That's so sweet of you to remember! But...I have a favor to ask of you.
Kana: Anything, Mama. What do you need?
Selkie: Remember how flowers are living things? Well, when you pick them, they die, 'cause they can't eat or drink anymore. Sometimes we kill animals when we're hunting, but that's for food. It's necessary. But we don't eat flowers. And you should never hurt anything if it isn't necessary. Your father taught me that.
Kana: Oh no! I've been hurting them?! It was an accident! I'm sorry, flowers! I was such a big meanie...
Selkie: Don't worry, Kana. I'm sure the flowers know you weren't trying to hurt them. You just need to promise not to pick anymore, OK?
Kana: OK! But...if I do that, then how can I show you all the neat flowers I find?
Selkie: Hmm... Next time you find some, come and get me. Then we can go look at them together! How does that sound?

Selkie: Oh, you were right! These are so pretty! I could roll around in them all day!
Kana: Yeah, they're great! They're so soft and yellow... They reminded me of you, Mama.
Selkie: Of me?! No way! I'm not this pretty! But, it's very nice of you to say so. Teehee. Thank you, Kana!
Kana: Don't be embarrassed, Mama! Flowers are pretty, but your smile is even prettier!
Selkie: Oh? Well I think your smiles are even prettier than that!
Kana: Really? Yay!
Selkie: Oh, that reminds me: I have something to show you.
Kana: Ooh, is it something good? What is it, Mama? What is it?
Selkie: Well, it's-
Kana: Ah! Wait! Don't tell me! I want it to be a surrpise!

Selkie: These are all of the flowers you've been bringing me! I had someone show me how to press them like this so I could preserve them. I thought it'd be the perfect way for me to keep all your little gifts safe.
Kana: Woah! This is amazing! Like, really, really amazing! I hadn't realized how many flowers I'd brought you, either. Look! There are the yellow daisies I gave you the other day!
Selkie: Yeah! Aren't they neat? I was so bad at this when I started. You shoulda seen my first try. It was, uh... Well, let's just say that you shouldn't try to smush a bunch all in one page. But I'm improving! And those daisies are some of my very best yet!
Kana: Oh, Mama... Thank you for taking such good care of the flowers I gave you.
Selkie: Awww, don't thank me. I just didn't wanna see 'em all go to waste! You worked so hard to bring them all to me. I should be thanking YOU, Kana!
Kana: You're welcome!
Selkie: You know, we didn't pick those flowers we saw the other day... But we did make some really nice memories. I hope we have many, many more like them!

Selkie: How did you know?! That's EXACTLY what I wanted! Can I ride on your pegasus?
Shigure: Of course! Where to?
Selkie: Oh, I don't want to go anywhere! OK, hear me out. First, I want you to fly waaaay up into the clouds. You're with me so far?
Shigure: I'm familiar with the principle.
Selkie: And then I wanna jump off!
Shigure: What?! No! The fall from that height would surely kill you!
Selkie: Haha, I knew you'd say that! But don't worry, I got it all worked out! See this sailcloth here? I'll hold it out as I fall, and whoosh! I'll be a flying fox! Doesn't that sound fun?!
Shigure: And you're sure you won't die?

Shigure: All right, now... Is this high enough for you?
Selkie: This is perfect! Look out below! WHEEEEEEEEEE!
Shigure: Gods, she actually jumped! Incredible... The sailcloth is working just as she said. Oof, that was a bit of a rough landing. But she seems cheerful enough...

Selkie: Sorry, Shigure...I should've listened. You're the expert on flying.
Shigure: Haha. I'm only surprised to find there's something that rattles even you.
Selkie: Yeah! I'll be careful from now on for sure. Thanks for pulling my fur out of the fire.
Shigure: No thanks necessary. I should have known better than to take you up at all. It may not be quite what you had in mind, but why don't we ride on the ground today?
Selkie: Where's the fun in THAT?
Shigure: You'd be surprised. Riding at a gallop is quite invigorating. And safe, too.

Shigure: The earthbound life is too mundane now that you've had a taste of the sky, eh?
Selkie: *sigh* Maybe there's other fun games we can play. Ooh! We could buzz houses!
Shigure: That gets old faster than you'd think.
Selkie: Aww. It would be neat if I woke up one morning with wings instead of a tail. Then I could fly all on my own!
Shigure: Ahaha...I don't see that happening, I'm afraid.
Selkie: What else...what else...hmmm. Does your pegasus know any cool stunts?
Shigure: Stunts, hm? Now that you mention it... How does somersaulting strike you?
Selkie: Somersaulting?
Shigure: My pegasus is extremely talented at midair loops and flips. I'd wager she could pull them off even with the both of us mounted.
Selkie: You're kidding me, right? That's too good to be true! Can we try it right now?!
Shigure: Far be it from me to refuse a lady. Shall we see how many times we can somersault before getting dizzy?
Selkie: This is the BEST! DAY! EVER! Thanks a million, Shigure!
Shigure: Your passion for flight is all the thanks I need.
Selkie: This means I'll have to return the favor someday, huh?
Shigure: Return what favor?

Selkie: Shigure?
Shigure: Oh, why hide it any longer... I'm hopelessly in love with you.
Selkie: HUH?!
Shigure: It's true. I'm entranced with your boundless zest for life. Would you consider, possibly...being my girlfriend...?
Selkie: ...
Shigure: Ah dear. I had held out a fool's hope, but...
Selkie: No, no, no! I love you too, Shigure. I would be super happy if you were my boyfriend! Although...
Shigure: Is there a catch?
Selkie: Now I won't ever get a chance to pay you back. You bent over backward to cheer me up, but I never did anything like that for you.
Shigure: Nonsense. Just now, you said the words that sent my heart soaring. No favor or playtime would have meant as much as to accept me as your boyfriend.
Selkie: No fooling?!

Selkie: Hmmm... I'm sure I saw Shigure come this way. Did he go deeper into the forest? He wasn't in the field back there, and he definitely didn't loop back to camp...
Shigure: *singing*
Selkie: Oh, I see him! He's over there! But... what is he doing all the way out here? Why is he just sitting on that tree stump? Hang on... Are those people gathered around him? No... Are my eyes playing tricks on me? Those aren't people at all! They're a bunch of forest animals! Rabbits, squirrels... even bears? What in all the gods... And they're all just sitting there like children in school, too.
Shigure: Well, I think that's about enough for one day. How did you all like it?
Selkie: Are you... talking to the animals?
Shigure: Ahhh! Who's there?! Oh no!
Selkie: Oh yikes! Now they've all run away... I'm sorry, Shigure. I must have scared them off.
Shigure: You just startled them is all, Selkie. You startled me, too! But you shouldn't worry about it. They're all very shy, so of course they'd run away. What are you doing all the way out here, anyway?
Selkie: I was looking for you, of course! You're my brother, after all. Since we grew up apart from each other, I wanted to hang out and learn about you. We can play, and talk, and do whatever else you want!
Shigure: Oh, really? I... don't know what to say. I'm not the most entertaining person... You might be better off making friends with people who are more outgoing.
Selkie: Hah, no way! None of those other people would be my brother, after all. It's important to have a strong connection with your siblings!
Shigure: Don't feel like you're obligated to be my friend, just because we're sibling. I don't think I'm in the best mood to try right now, in any case. If you'll excuse me...

Selkie: Hmmm... Where could Shigure have gone off to today... Oh, of course! I bet he's back in those same woods as last time. Maybe he's even in the middle of that clearing again, playing with the animals... Ah ha! I was right! Hey, Shigure! Shiiiiiiigure!
Shigure: Selkie?! What are you doing here? Ah! Oh no! Wait!
Selkie: Oops... I guess I scared all the animals away again. I'm sorry, Shigure. I keep doing that...
Shigure: Oh, it's all right. They're just not used to others being around. It just spooks them when you come running over.
Selkie: Oh, is that all? I can be more careful... Anyways, it's really kind of amazing that you get along so well with those animals. Whenever I see an animal, I get excited and run to play with it, but it always runs away. I suppose not running at them may help...
Shigure: It may. Anyway, how come you were looking for me, Selkie?
Selkie: I wanted to spend time with you again, of course! You're my brother and all.
Shigure: Still? Hrm... I suppose it wouldn't be too bad. And I am happy that you want to hang out so bad. I suppose, as your brother, it would be bad for me to let you down.
Selkie: Really?! So, we can hang out here? You should call the animals back so we can all play together!
Shigure: The animals... Ah, I don't think they'll come back while you're here, actually.
Selkie: Awww, how come? You're great friends with them. Can't you ask them nicely? If you bring them back, then I can try and be friends with them too! Please, Shigure! Teach me how to be friends with the animals!
Shigure: Well, OK. I'm not sure this will help, but... Animals are very sensitive to the feelings of people around them. Most likely, they could sense how you were feeling, and something drove them off. Since they were fine until right before you arrived, it was definitely related to you.
Selkie: Booo... It's not like I was trying to catch them...
Shigure: Maybe it was what you were thinking. Were you sizing them up to figure out which would make a tasty dinner? Even just for a moment?
Selkie: No! I'd never think that! Did you tell the animals I think that?!
Shigure: Of course not. Sorry... That's just the biggest reason I can think of that they would run away. You seem really sincere about becoming friends with them, so... I'll try and think of what you could change to make them feel more safe. I'm here to help out my adorable sister!

Selkie: Oh, hi, Shigure...
Shigure: What's the matter, Selkie? You look pretty unhappy.
Selkie: Well... I wanted to ask you about the animals that you play with...
Shigure: Oh? Did you go to visit them while I was out and about? I'm just about to head out now, if you want to come along. Do you think you're ready to prove that you don't mean them any harm?
Selkie: About that... I've thought a lot about what you said the other day... And I realized that you were probably right. I mean, right about what they sensed.
Shigure: What do you mean? Were you feeling some strong emotion when you arrived?
Selkie: I was. I was feeling... jealousy. You'd told me that you didn't want to hang out with me, but you were happy with them. It didn't seem fair! So, when I got there and all the animals were gathered around... the only think I could think of was how badly I wanted them all to leave. I think that's why they're scared of me.
Shigure: Selkie, I'm glad that you thought about this and talked to me.
Selkie: Really? That's good, at least. But I don't think I should go back there anymore.
Shigure: Don't say that! I think you should definitely go back. You're opened up, and the animals will be able to tell you've changed. Now that you don't feel jealous, they'll look at you differently.
Selkie: B-but... I'm not sure...
Shigure: I am. You didn't have to tell me you were feeling jealous, but you did anyway. That tells me that you've got a good soul inside of you. They'll be able to tell, too. Look! There's a rabbit coming this way!
Selkie: Oh! Oh! What do I do, Shigure?! What do I do?
Shigure: Just calm down... Relax— take a breath. Quiet your mind, and be peaceful... Just think about how you want to be friends with the furry critter.
Selkie: Ah! He just let me pet him! It's working! Now he's just looking at me! He's not running away. This is great!
Shigure: I told you it would be OK, Selkie.
Selkie: You were right. I'm so glad! I was sure that all the animals hated me...
Shigure: Now you'll be able to get along with all of them. And I think you and I will, as well. Let's go to the clearning in the woods— I bet your new friends will be waiting there.

Dwyer: I just need to know. Are you planning on chasing after things and attempting risky stunts... forever?
Selkie: Well, of course! I can't imagine a life without play.
Dwyer: So... a lifetime of reckless play...
Selkie: Yeah! Sounds amazing, right?
Dwyer: That's not the word I'd use, but... You'll probably be getting injured with some regularity, it seems fair to assume...
Selkie: Yeah, probably. I can't get carried away sometimes. But I can't think about a little spill here or a tumble there. That ruins the fun!
Dwyer: Well, I suppose that settles it. I'll be spending my life tending to your scrapes and bruises.
Selkie: Hey, I didn't ask you to do that.
Dwyer: No, but I can't stand by and watch you get hurt.
Selkie: But forever is such a long time! Like, sometimes when I have to wait an hour for something, I can't even do it. And how many hours are in forever? It hurts my brain to think about!
Dwyer: Well, you don't need to worry about it. I'll just take care of you.
Selkie: But why? You hate doing work, don't you?
Dwyer: I have my reasons.
Selkie: Because we're friends?
Dwyer: Er... yes.
Selkie: So you're going to stay by my side for the rest of your life?
Dwyer: That's my intent.
Selkie: Well, then we're more than just friends, Dwyer. It's more like we're husband and wife, wouldn't you say?
Dwyer: I... I guess?
Selkie: Oh, don't be shy! Should we just get married and make it all official?
Dwyer: I guess if that were to happen someday, I wouldn't be disappointed...
Selkie: Someday? Pfft. Let's do it today! Yaaay!
Dwyer: Very well. I promise never to leave your side.
Selkie: Woohoo! We're married! This was my plan all along. I can't believe it worked! Bwahaha!
Dwyer: You're cleverer than you let on, aren't you?
Selkie: Duh! Heehee!

Selkie: Midori! You look like you're having fun!
Midori: Good eye, Selkie! I just harvested a bunch of herbs for a new medicine. Nothing's more fun than that!
Selkie: That's wonderfuuuuurrrghhh...
Midori: Oh my. You're looking a bit peaked. Are you feeling any symptoms?
Selkie: Nah. But boy, it's freezing out! When did it get so cold? Ah... ACHOO!
Midori: Yipes! Selkie, you're definitely coming down with something!
Selkie: Me? Never! I'm fit as a... as a... as ACHOO!
Midori: I've seen this before. And i have just the thing to fight it. Where'd I put that jar... Ah! Here it is!
Selkie: Ew, no! Put it away!
Midori: What? It's good medicine! Made from the finest herbs and minerals!
Selkie: More like the GROSSEST herbs! I could smell that stench a mile away!
Midori: Whaaaat?! Surely it's a small price to pay to get better fast! Besides, it doesn't TASTE bad. I made sure to add some sugar for you.
Selkie: Nuh-uh! That stuff smelss nasty, and my nose never lies!
Midori: *sniff* *sniff* That's strange. I barely notice anything. You must have one keen sense of smell!
Selkie: Yeah, all kitsune do. I can pick up on that stuff's powerful funk even through a stopped-up nose.
Midori: Very impressive!
Selkie: And that's why I'm not drinking any!
Midori: But... it's good for you...
Selkie: I know you mean well, but I'll just get plenty of food and rest. That always works! See ya later, Midori!

(Selkie leaves)

Midori: Um, Selkie! Wait! *sigh* So a kitsune can detect even the faintest hint of bitterness, eh? Challenge accepted! I'll brew a tonic even Selkie can stomach!

Midori: Selkie! Just the girl I was looking for.
Selkie: What's up, Midori?
Midori: I just finished... my new... Oh no. Don't tell me you've already recovered from that cold.
Selkie: Yep! I feel fantastic! I hit the hay early and woke up late, and by that time I was allll beter!
Midori: Oh...
Selkie: Is that... bad?
Midori: Well... no. I mean... I did make a special trip deep into the forest to find the right herbs. And I did spend half the night devising the right balance to make them palatable. But if you're over your cold, I guess none of that matters now! Hooray.
Selkie: Oh, gosh. Sorry, Midori!
Midori: No, no. I'm the one who should apologize for being disappointed that you're well.
Selkie: Hey, no worries! I totally get where you're coming from.
Midori: Oh, but! How about some preventative medicine, eh?
Selkie: Huh?
Midori: Yes... yes! I'm a genius! Just need to mix a little of this, and... behold!
Selkie: U-um, sorry, but that's making me gag from all the way over here.
Midori: So even the tiniest hint of bitterness means you won't drink something?
Selkie: Yeah, pretty much! Maybe if it tasted like candy, but not if it smells like a sewer.
Midori: Then that's just what I'll make for you! A philter as sweet as candy! You may be hale and hearty now, but who knows when the next cold may strike? I'd be devastated if the smell of my warding medicine kept it from doing its job. So I'll reformulate it to be so sweet, even you'll gulp it down happily!
Selkie: Midori... You're the best friend anyone could have! I shouldn't be turning up my nose when you're trying so hard to help. Tell you what. To make it up to you, I'll drink down whatever medicine you give me!
Midori: Yay! In that case, I think we should start with some herbal tea tasting.
Selkie: Herbal tea...?
Midori: Yes. Hang on while I brew some. With my special technique, it won't take long!
Selkie: H-hang on a minute! What are you trying to pull? I agreed to taste any MEDICINE!
Midori: Oh, this is the first step though! We need to experiment with lots of flavors to find one that you like. Armed with that data, i can ensure my medicine has the right flavoring for you!
Selkie: F-fine... I'll drink your tea... I just have to drink it, right? Not pour it up my nose or bathe in it or anything?
Midori: Not, but you're giving me some wonderful ideas!

Midori: Thanks for your help the other day, Selkie! I couldn't have made a tonic that goes down this smooth without you.
Selkie: Anytime! I'm happy to help you develop medicine as sweet as candy. It's a win for both of us!
Midori: Not just us. It's been a hit all over camp! I'm getting order after order for my "anticold candy".
Selkie: Whoa! This could be your big break!
Midori: Definitely. I really owe you! In fact... since your kitsune senses were so instrumental to its creation... I'd like you to be my partner!
Selkie: Your partner?! Midori! I'm honored!
Midori: Your contributions to my work were so significant, it's the least I could do.
Selkie: I've never been partners in anything before. Do I get part of the money? Or just credit? Ohh! an we call it "Selkie's Sweet Serum"?
Midori: Th-this would be more like... a silent partnership.
Selkie: A silent partner! That sounds even cooler!
Midori: Definitely! Between my brewing, marketing, and sales and your secret testing work... we're going to make a great team!

Selkie: La la la🎵Oh, chicken, how yummy you'll be!
Shiro: *sniff* What is that amazing smell...
Selkie: Hey, Shiro!
Shiro: Selkie, what are you eating? Is it chicken?
Selkie: Uh-huh! I caught it myself out in the forest. So I decided to make a nice big fire and grill it up!
Shiro: Hmm, that explains the amazing smell. It's making my stomach growl...
Selkie: Are you hungry? There's plenty here if you want some.
Shiro: Really? You don't mind?
Selkie: Nope! The only thing better than grilled chicken is sharing it with friends. Wow, this piece is done perfectly.
Shiro: Thanks, Selkie. It's just missing one important thing...
Selkie: Hmm? What do you mean?
Shiro: Grilled chicken is obviously best with barbecue sauce. I was just looking for some.
Selkie: WHAAAAAAAAAAAT?! Are you serious? You eat your chicken with barbecue sauce?!
Shiro: Hey! Don't shout in my ear like that!
Selkie: Yuck, how could you eat it that way? All you really need is a simple pinch of salt!
Shiro: You're nuts! If I had barbecue sauce, I could eat a million bowls of rice. It tastes so good.
Selkie: I'm telling you, salt is the key! It brings out the natural flavor of the meat.
Shiro: Grrrrrr! I'll never agree with you!
Selkie: I don't understand you at all.
Shiro: Fine. If you won't admit to being wrong, there's only one way to settle this. We're going to have a taste test.
Selkie: What do you mean?
Shiro: I'll bring my sauce, and you can bring salt. Then we can try both and see which is actually better.
Selkie: You're on! But I know you're going to end up liking the salt way better!
Shiro: Yeah, right. You better get ready to eat some crow!
Selkie: Same goes for you!

Shiro: Selkie, I brought a big bottle of barbecue sauce. Are you ready to start cooking?
Selkie: Of course. It's time for the big taste test. Obviously I'm going to emerge victorious.
Shiro: Haha, we'll just see about that. So we'll cover half of the chicken in my yummy barbecue sauce. And we'll pinch salt over the other half.
Selkie: *munch munch munch*
Shiro: *chomp chomp*
Selkie: Oh my gods!
Shiro: W-wow! This is—
Selkie: The barbecue sauce has that great salty flavor, but it's also really sweet! I just wanna lick it all off.
Shiro: Heh. What did you expect? It's the finest blend in the entire country. A chef friend of mine gave it to me. It's his secret recipe!
Selkie: I never imagined this might actually be really good with the chicken...
Shiro: The salted one has a great flavor too. It's very simple, but in a good way. And I think it does allow you to enjoy the natural flavor of the chicken more.
Selkie: Ha! SEE? What did I tell you? I'm the big winner. Move over, barbecue boy!
Shiro: You're out of your mind! We're talking about totally different topics. I never said yours was better. I just said that it was different!
Selkie: No way! I just heard you say that my seasoning was yummy. Why did you lie?!
Shiro: NO! You clearly don't get it. All I meant was that yours was good! I didn't say it was the best. There's no question that my tangy barbecue sauce is superior. Why have people thought up so many ways to make chicken, anyways? It's a little overwhelming.
Selkie: Huh? What are you talking about?
Shiro: I talked to my father about our competition. He was adamant that lemon pepper always tasted the best with chicken.
Selkie: Lemon pepper, huh?
Shiro: Yes. He was so sure that he forced me to take a bottle before I left...
Selkie: You have it here? I wanna taste it!
Shiro: Hmm, I guess that's OK. Here, try it out.
Selkie: Thanks, Shiro! *nom nom nom*
Shiro: I'm glad I tried a new recipe. But still, you just can't beat barbecue sau—
Selkie: THIS IS SO AMAZING!
Shiro: Huh? You don't have to yell...
Selkie: I'm talking about the lemon pepper! It's so yummy! Here, you have to try it!
Shiro: Mmph?! *gulp* Hey! You can't just shove food in my mouth like that!
Selkie: Sorry! I was just really excited for you to try it. Wasn't it good, though?
Shiro: You're right. This does taste pretty great. It's got a unique flavor that sets it apart from the sauce and the salt. Yeah, I think I could get used to eating this all the time. Maybe that means—
Selkie: That lemon pepper is the best of all!
Shiro: What?! Why did you have to say that?

A Support

Shiro: I learned something important, Selkie. You shouldn't judge any type of food until you've actually tried it.
Selkie: No kidding. We were both pretty surprised by how delicious the lemon pepper was.
Shiro: It was really good! I'll never forget trying that for the first time.
Selkie: Is your daddy some kind of genius chef or what? I never would have known that there was an even yummier way to enjoy chicken! Trying out all these new flavors lately has been so much fun! I should do this all the time.
Shiro: Haha, I'm glad you're having a good time.
Selkie: It's all because of you. We should sit down and have another meal again soon! Doesn't that sound like a blast?
Shiro: That's a great idea. What would you like to try out next?
Selkie: Hmm... Wait, I know! Let's make eggs!
Shiro: Huh? Eggs?
Selkie: That's right! I learned how to fry them recently, and it's a lot of fun!
Shiro: Ok, sure. Why not? I'll be sure to bring my special bottle of hot sauce.
Selkie: What are you talking about? Hot sauce?
Shiro: Eggs always go best with hot sauce. Don't you agree?
Selkie: What? Are you out of your mind? Eggs always taste best with a bit of salt!
Shiro: No way! I'm telling you, hot sauce is key!
Selkie: Not everything has to be doused in one of your stupid sauces, Shiro!
Shiro: You're insane! Salt is boring! That won't make your breakfast taste better. It's clear what we have to do. Another taste test. We can try both soon!
Selkie: You're on! Let's do it!

Shiro: Selkie, wait up! Have you eaten yet? If not, I was thinking that we could grab a bite together...
Selkie: That sounds like fun, Shiro!
Shiro: Ever since our last taste test, you and I have been spending a lot of time together.
Selkie: Yep! For some reason, I always enjoy my food more when I'm with you. Sharing all these meals together almost makes me feel like we're dating. Isn't that funny?
Shiro: Heh... Yeah, it's hilarious.
Selkie: Is something wrong, Shiro? You look upset all of a sudden.
Shiro: N-nothing. I was just thinking the same thing. That's all...
Selkie: What? So why are you upset, then?
Shiro: The truth is that I want to be with you. And not just for meals.
Selkie: You mean—
Shiro: I mean that I want you to be by my side all the time. Selkie, will you be my wife?
Selkie: WH-WHAAAAT?! You must be pulling my leg. Right, Shiro?
Shiro: Why are you acting so surprised? Does this really come as a shock to you? I wouldn't trade the time we've spent together for anything in the world. Maybe I shouldn't have told you. Bu I felt like I had to get it off my chest.
Selkie: So what you're really saying is that you love me. Is that it?
Shiro: Don't say that so loud! Someone might overhar you!
Selkie: Teehee! Relax, Shiro. The truth is that I love you too!
Shiro: Really? You mean it?!
Selkie: Of course! Being with you always make me really happy! I especially love arguing with you all the time. It's too much fun! You're the only person i want to be with. I promise. Of course I'll marry you!
Shiro: Phew, thank the gods. That's a relief.
Selkie: Hehehe! Are you happy now?
Shiro: Of course! I couldn't be happier. Would you like to celebrate by having a bite with me?
Selkie: You bet! I'm really hungry.

Kiragi: Don’t worry, Selkie. It’s OK. They can’t hurt you now.

Selkie: I know, I know. I’m not scared of them. I’m just…disappointed in myself. I need to be more careful in the future. I can’t just keep trusting everyone I meet.

Selkie: OK, I'll tell you. Remember when I stepped on that branch and made a loud noise?
Asugi: I certainly do. I can't believe you gave away our position like that.

Selkie: That's OK. So, now that we both officially like each other, can we be a couple?
Asugi: Er...yes. I think that's how this kind of thing works... But does it have to be so awkward? Maybe we should start over.

Hisame: Of course. One of the great things about pickles is how long they keep. So, naturally. I maintain at least one year's supply at all times in my tent.
Selkie: That's amazing! Do you have anyh more of that buffalo from the other day?
Hisame: Actually, I do. Although pickled meat doesn't keep quite as well as veggies.
Selkie: So what? Why keep this when you can just eat it right away? Gimme! *nom* *nom *nom*
Hisame: How can you enjoy the depth of flavor when you eat that quickly? Are you even chewing?
Selkie: Ahh! That hit the spot! Got any more?
Hisame: So, this is my life now. Pickled chef to a ravenous she-fox. It could be worse.
Selkie: What are you mumbling about? And where are all the pickles you promised me?
Hisame: It's nothing, Selkie. Please, come and help yourself to ny of the pickles in my tent. I will simply have to ramp up production to keep up with demand...
Selkie: Aw, you're the best, Hisame. Thanks! Wait a second... You'll keep teaching me how to make my own, right? Because I don't want to eat ALL of your pickles. What kind of a pickle pal would do that to another pickle pal?
Hisame: Of course. You'll be a fine pickle pal in time.

Selkie: Hey, Hisame! Check it out!
Hisame: Hello, Selkie. What is that?
Selkie: It's a rice cracker, of course. Enjoy!

Hisame: I see. Thanks?
Selkie: You bet! It's just a little thank-you for introducing me to the world of pickles.
Hisame: Well... thank you very much. Um, not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but why a rice cracker?
Selkie: What dou you mean "horse"? It's a cracker, dum-dum! Anyway, I just thought that it would pair well with your signature pickle brine.
Hisame: Well, that's very thoughtful. Thank you. Wait, where exactly did you get this cracker, anyway?
Selkie: Oh, it was just a couple of towns away. No biggie.
Hisame: Selkie, I happen to know that this type of cracer is not available within 200 miles!
Selkie: I know. But I thought you would really like it! Are you mad?
Hisame: Mad? No, I'm just... You didn't have to do that. But it means a lot to me that you did.
Selkie: Oh, good! See, I did it because I really like you. Actually, it's more like I love you. What do you think about that?
Hisame: Gee, you really know how to put a guy on the spot, Selkie... But the truth is... I like you, too. Maybe I even love you. But this is a little bit fast for me. It seems like everyone is getting married...
Selkie: Well, that's slly. Let's just start by being boyfriend and girlfriend. Ready? Go!
Hisame: Wow, it's that easy, huh? Well, let's go with it. I'm happy to have you as my girlfriend, Selkie!
Selkie: Me too! Now, let's have a pickle and rice cracker feast to celebrate!

Selkie: Hey, Rhajat!
Rhajat: Selkie... Hm. Hmhm. Heheheh...
Selkie: Is something funny?
Rhajat: Praise the gods...and their divine vessels...
Selkie: Uh Rhajat? If I didn't know better, I could swear you were trying to worship me.
Rhajat: I wasn't merely trying. I was succeeding. Praise the gods...and their divine vessels...
Selkie: Whaaaaat?! What's all this about?
Rhajat: Foxes are the messengers of the gods, are they not? If I were to show proper reverence, I'm bound to be rewarded for my faith. It's only logical, no?
Selkie: You're weirding me out, Rhajat. I may be a Kitsune, I'm no messenger of the divine, or whatever you said!
Rhajat: Ohh...it's suddenly come to me what I should wish for. I should petition for my black magicks to surge in strength. I beseech thee, O Dark Ones, to grant my wish...
Selkie: I'm telling you, I'm not their messenger!
Rhajat: Here...a gift.
Selkie: A coin purse? What's this for?
Rhajat: Consider it a tithe, I only hope that it's sufficient to earn their favor.
Selkie: Rhajat! Cut it out! Stop trying to worship! That's it―I can't stand this! I'm leaving!
Rhajat: Oh dear. The messenger has escaped...

Rhajat: Selkie, have you a moment to talk?
Selkie: Wh-what do you want, Rhajat?
Rhajat: So tense. What could be troubling?
Selkie: Isn't it obvious? You keep treating me like some "messenger of the gods"!
Rhajat: Is that still bothering you? I'm sorry. It might please you to know that today, I came to talk about something else.
Selkie: Oh yeah?
Rhajat: You intervened in battle the other day to save me from imminent danger. The moment was too hectic to express my gratitude, so I came to do it now.
Selkie: Oh, well...why didn't you come out and say that? Don't worry about it! That's what friends are for!
Rhajat: Friends, yes...or perhaps I had the dark gods' divine favor from praying to you?
Selkie: Rhajat! You just told me you were going to drop that silliness!
Rhajat: Here...a gift.
Selkie: Not another coin purse...
Rhajat: No. This is an incense set.
Selkie: Rhajat! I keep telling you! I have NOTHING to do with the gods!
Rhajat: Why do you mention it?
Selkie: Don't give me that! This incense set is another offering, isn't it?
Rhajat: That? No, it's my way of expressing appreciation for what you did for me. You may be reading too much into simple gestures
Selkie: Oh...ohmygosh! I'm super, super sorry! Boy, is my face red...
Rhajat: But if you're that interested in offerings. you should have said so. Heh Heh. I would be honored to worship at your feet once more...
Selkie: Argh, me and my big mouth!

Rhajat: Selkie...this may sound strange to you, but please, hear me out. My black magicks have definitely felt stronger lately. The power surges within me more and more each day. I can think of no other explanation than that my prayers to you have been answered.
Selkie: That's weird, because I haven't done anything.
Rhajat: My supplication to you was somewhat―well, mostly―for my own amusement, but...
Selkie: Are you kidding me?!
Rhajat: I wonder if you have been granting me some sort of power after all.
Selkie: Answer the question! And no, I don't have any power to grant! That's crazy talk!
Rhajat: I think you're wrong. There is power in the unbreakable bond of camaraderie that we share.
Selkie: Huh? Comma...robbery? Start making sense, Rhajat!
Rhajat: Let us make a pact. We will spur one another on, intervene on each other's behalf...and otherwise do all things that friends do, for all eternity.
Selkie: Uhhh... O-OK! Sounds good! I'm in for your weird pact, Rhajat! Especially the part about us being friends, heehee!
Rhajat: Phew...I finally said it. Honestly wasn't as bad as I was expecting. It may have been a circuitous was to make friends, but it is my way.
Selkie: Hmm? Did you say something?
Rhajat: O-only the usual, my friend Selkie. Praise the gods...and their divine vessels...

Selkie: Velouria! Veloooouriaaaaaa!
Velouria: Ugh...
Selkie: Velouria? How did you not hear me calling you?!
Velouria: I did hear you. I chose not to answer.
Selkie: You were ignoring me?! How come?
Velouria: Because I know what you were going to ask. All you ever want to do is play.
Selkie: You don't like playing?! Playing is great!
Velouria: Not the way you do it. You play too rough. You always want to jump from high cliffs or swing from vines... But I don't like those kinds of games.
Selkie: But you WOULD if you'd just try them! I'll show you how fun they are!
Velouria: You're wrong. You and I are nothing alike.
Selkie: Says you! Look at all the things we have in common! We both have big, furry ears, we've got bushy tails...all kinds of stuff!
Velouria: That makes as much sense as saying we're alike because we have eyes and noses. Don't lump wolves in with foxes, please.
Selkie: Oh, good point! That's another thing! I'm a kitsune, and you're a wolfskin! We can both transform!
Velouria: So?
Selkie: We would have so much fun playing together in our animal forms, I bet!
Velouria: You would lose that bet. Even as a wolf, I much prefer being alone. Besides, Daddy is the only transforming friend I need.
Selkie: Awww, don't say that!
Velouria: Now if you'll excuse me...

Selkie: Velouria! VELOOOOOOOURIAAAAA! Come out and play with me!
Velouria: Hmph...
Selkie: Dang! She's still giving me the silent treatment! ARRRRGHHHHH!
Velouria: Could you please be quiet? I'm busy.
Selkie: You are? But...you're just staring at the ground.
Velouria: I'm looking for furballs that might have been left behind. My hope is to find a fluffy one, with lots of things snared in it. But there's been no such luck so far.
Selkie: You know what would be more fun than poking around some moldy old furballs? Rolling down a hill! I just did it for the sixth time today! The louder you yell, the faster you go, and the dizzier you get! It's true!
Velouria: Hmm. No. That's not as captivating as searching for furballs. The time slips away as I poke through all the nooks and crannies...
Selkie: Well, if your mind's made up, I'm not gonna force you. Guess I'll just go home...

Velouria: Oh...! Selkie. Don't move.
Selkie: Huh?
Velouria: No, turn back around! Let me see your tail again.
Selkie: Sure, but... What's wrong with it?
Velouria: It's...it's... It's covered in furballs!
Selkie: It is? Whoops.
Velouria: Not only that, but damp twigs...decaying leaves...even pebbles and stones! Your tail is a treasure trove, Selkie!
Selkie: Uhmm...really? All that junk must have got caught in it when I was rolling down the hill.
Velouria: Selkie...would you mind letting me groom your tail? And I'll need the location of this hill you say you rolled down.
Selkie: Sure, OK... Wait! Are you saying you wanna go hill- rolling with me?!
Velouria: Absolutely. If there are treasures like these to be had, I'll play whatever game you want.
Selkie: Yippeeee! We're gonna have so much fun! Thanks, Velouria!
Velouria: Never mind that now. We have to hurry to that hill! Take me there this instant!!
Selkie: OK! Just follow me!

Selkie: Wasn't rolling down the hill AMAZING, Velouria?! Let's do it again! And again!
Velouria: ...It was more fun than I expected, I'll give you that.
Selkie: Yesss! Score one for Selkie!
Velouria: My favorite part, though, was afterward. There were so many little stones and dead bugs in my tail, waiting to be picked out!
Selkie: Haha! That part was...OK. But does this mean we can keep playing together?
Velouria: It's very important that we do.
Selkie: Heehee! Hoorayyyy!
Velouria: You're such a ball of energy that you must have lots of other friends, though. Why was it so important that you play with me in particular?
Selkie: Because none of my other friends can transform like us! You and me are the only girls around who aren't human. No one else really GETS it, you know?
Velouria: I feel like that sometimes, too. Thank you for not giving up on me, Selkie, and asking me to play so often.
Selkie: Aww, it was no big deal! When you say it like that, it makes me sound like some kinda hero... Aaah!
Velouria: What's wrong?
Selkie: I just noticed something else we have in common! That streak in your hair! It's a different color than the rest!
Velouria: Oh, yes. This tuft is the same color as my mommy's hair.
Selkie: I HAVE THAT TOO! We're so alike!
Velouria: As far as that goes, at least. What a strange coincidence.
Selkie: Yeah, it's really cool! It proves we were destined to be friends.
Velouria: Heehee, maybe so. Let's swear on our hair that we'll be friends forever, OK?
Selkie: Totally! I swear up and down that you, Velouria, will always be my best friend!
