Lyn & Rath

Level C:

LYNDIS:	Rath!
RATH:	Ah...Lyn.
LYNDIS:	Thank you, Rath. you've saved me again.
RATH:	I need no thanks from a fellow plainsdweller.
LYNDIS:	Actually... There's something that I've always wanted to ask you.
RATH:	What's that?
LYNDIS:	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:	... ...
LYNDIS:	And you never smile, either. Why? Are...Are you mad becuase I dragged you here...into this? ...Are you angry with me? Because if you are...
RATH:	I'm not angry.
LYNDIS:	But you don't talk?
RATH:	There's no need.
LYNDIS:	... ...Oh.

Level B:

LYNDIS:	... ...
RATH:	What's wrong, Lyn?
LYNDIS:	What? Oh, nothing...
RATH:	The battlefield is no place for daydreaming. ... ...You'll get killed.
LYNDIS:	I, um, yes. I'm sorry.
RATH:	... ...
LYNDIS:	I was thinking of my grandfather... He was still...asleep...when I left Caelin. Just when it seemed he was getting better... Why... Why must these things happen to me? ...I don't want to lose him. Not...another one.
RATH:	... ...
LYNDIS:	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?
RATH:	Can't say.
LYNDIS:	Pardon?
RATH:	I left Kutolah before I was old enough to understand such things. For fifteen years now, I've traveled by myself.
LYNDIS:	Why leave your tribe?
RATH:	... ...

Level A:

LYNDIS:	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.
LYNDIS:	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.
LYNDIS:	... ...
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.
LYNDIS:	... ...
RATH:	I do not feel the loneliness now as I did then... but sometimes, I remember. I have never felt so alone.
LYNDIS:	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:	... ...
LYNDIS:	... ...
RATH:	Lyn...
LYNDIS:	Yes?
RATH:	You sure it's all right for you to be here? The battle's not over.
LYNDIS:	You're right... But... I don't feel I can leave you.
RATH:	... ...
LYNDIS:	When I'm with you, I feel safe. I can sense your... strength.
RATH:	Lyn...
LYNDIS:	Please, Rath. Let me stay here, just for a while.
RATH:	...Fine. As you wish.
