Part 398: Vaike B

Okay, I think I've got it this time... PLTHTHTH... PSZZZTHTHTH!

BWAHAHA! That's the worst whistlin' I've ever heard! Here, let me show ya again...

No! I've almost got it. Listen... PLSHTHTHTHTH... *splutter*

Ya sound like a camel that swallowed bagpipes. But you're lucky. You got all the time in the world to practice.

Lucky? I don't see what is so great about it.

Gallopin' geldings, what I wouldn't give for an extra century or two! Then I know I could make my dream come true!

Dream? What dream?

To become the greatest warrior in the land and to help the children of my old slumtown. To want to improve their lot so they can help pull up folks around 'em. By the time I'm done, I'll have made life better for EVERYONE!

Oh! What a wonderful dream!

I was inspired by the exalt. She made a speech in my town once, see? But the thing is, I don't have enough time to make that happen. If I had a few extra decades, I might be able to make something of it.

Hey, I have an idea! If you die before you fulfil your dream, I'll take over! With the two of us together, I know we could make it come true.

Really? You'd do that for 'Ol Teach?
