Lyn: Rath!
Rath: Ah…Lyn.
Lyn: Thank you, Rath. You’ve saved me again.
Rath: I need no thanks from a fellow plainsdweller.
Lyn: Actually… There’s something that I’ve always wanted to ask you.
Rath: What’s that?
Lyn: Are all Kutolah men so…so quiet? My father and the other Lorca men didn’t talk much, but they were gossiping magpies compared to you.
Rath: … …
Lyn: And you never smile, either. Why? Are…Are you mad because I dragged you here…into this? …Are you angry with me? Because if you are…
Rath: I’m not angry.
Lyn: But you don’t talk?
Rath: There’s no need.
Lyn: … …Oh.

Rath: … …
Lyn: Well. Enough of dark thoughts! Why…Why don’t you tell me a bit about yourself, Rath? The Kutolah tribe is quite large, is it not? Is it true that you have no enemies, for all fear your leader, the Silver Wolf?

Lyn: Rath… Tell me the rest of your story, please. Why did you have to leave the tribe?
Rath: …The tribe diviner saw a bad omen in the stars. As…the chieftain’s son, I had to leave to prevent disaster.
Lyn: What disaster?
Rath: Can’t say. …But the diviner did tell me I would know when the time came. He said I was born into this land to stop the burning… A dark flame, consuming all.
Lyn: … …
Rath: At the time I was less than four, without even the means to survive. I wandered, not knowing right from left, …The people of other tribes laughed and ridiculed me.
Lyn: … …
Rath: I do not feel the loneliness now as I did then… but sometimes, I remember. I have never felt so alone.
Lyn: I see… That makes sense. When I first met you, I felt like we had something in common… Maybe it was because we shared the experience of being alone.
Rath: … …
Lyn: … …
Rath: Lyn…
Lyn: Yes?
Rath: You sure it’s all right for you to be here? The battle’s not over.
Lyn: You’re right… But… I don’t feel I can leave you.
Rath: … …
Lyn: When I’m with you, I feel safe. I can sense your… strength.
Rath: Lyn…
Lyn: Please, Rath. Let me stay here, just for a while.
Rath: …Fine. As you wish.
