Part 233: Lissa B

Looks like it's the two of us on provisioning duty today! What should we hunt for? Mushrooms? Wild herbs? Ooh, maybe berries?

That all sounds tasty, but fightin' a war takes stouter stuff'n that. I vote for game!

So, er, meat. From animals. Riiight... Guess we need to hunt some, then. Er, let's see...

Don't fret it none. I laid a half dozen traps yesterday just in case. Just follow me, Lissa!

Whoa, look! Two rabbits and a boar! The traps really worked!

Good thing, too. Now I ain't gotta worry 'bout you wanderin' around in the woods.

I'm amazed, Donny. Where'd you learn how to hunt like this?

From my pa, at first. Past that, I just kinda picked it up on my own.

Wow. No matter where you are, you'll never lack for food.

From yer lips to Naga's ears! 'Sides, I couldn't see my dream through if I weren't able to get anywheres.

What dream is that?

To travel the world lookin' for the secret to this stone my pa gave me. Was his dream, too, back before... Well when he was still alive. ...So I'm fixin' to do it for him.

That's wonderful, Donny. You make me want to really knuckle down and buckle down on my own dream.

You got a dream, Lissa?

Hey! Why do you sound so surprised?

Wh-what?! Naw, I didn't mean it that way at all!

My dream is to become a true lady like my sister, Emmeryn.

Well, I reckon you'll get there eventually.

...Eventually?

Er, real soon, I mean! Like tomorrow! I knows ya will!

Gosh, I can see it now. I bet you'll be the prettiest lady of 'em all! Wearin' big dresses and dancin' in circles at them fancy balls...

You really think so?

Heck, I know so! Prettiest lady in the whole dang world, see if you ain't!

Heh heh. Thanks, Donny.
