Part 368: Panne B

Panne, I wanted to thank you for the other day.

I did nothing.

You treated my wounded pegasus, right? You gave her a healing salve?

...No.

Oh, I see. Well, whoever put it on, the medicine was very effective.

It is a secret taguel recipe far stronger than your man-spawn cures. ...Er, not that I would know.

Ah ha! So it WAS you!

...... I had hoped to treat the wound surreptitiously.

Well, we're both very grateful. Thank you, Panne.

I do not deserve your gratitude.

After I treated your creature, I... I made her an offer.

What kind of offer?

I offered to free her so she would not be subjected to the dangers of war. This fighting has nothing to do with her or her kind. It seems cruel to make her struggle alongside us.

But she told me she wanted to help, and could never desert you.

My pegasus said that?

The creature is very faithful. That is why you must take care of her.

Y-yes, of course! I'll do everything I can to make sure she isn't hurt again.

Do all in your power and more. I would not like to see such a magnificent beast come to harm.

Nor would I, Panne.
