Part 405: Stahl A

Janaff seems to be full of beans today.

Yeah, we just got back from a flight around the camp. It was lots of fun!

Well, glad you found a friend. Perhaps now it... Hmm? What's that shadow?

Oh my gosh! Look at that huge flock of birds!

Janaff seems awfully excited, Nowi. I think maybe he wants to join them.

What? No he doesn't! Liar! He's MY friend!

The flock keeps circling us like they're waiting for something... Nowi, I think Janaff's friend and family have come to take him home.

No! I'M his family now! I'm his mother! I'm going to turn into a dragon and chase those stupid birds away!

You can't do that, Nowi.

But... But...!

What do you think Janaff would want? ... I mean, besides worms. Do you really want to keep him from his true family? From his friends?

Oh, fiiine. I know you're right, but it's still sad and unfair.

I'm s-sorry Janaff. I shouldn't have tried to hold you against your will. *sniff* You can... *sob* go... *sniffle* If you really... want to...

Wow! Look how fast he flew into the flock! He looks happy, doesn't he? He's doing little somersaults in the air. Farewell, Janaff! May all your meals be huge grubs and the like!

*Sniff* Bye, Janaff. I hope you have fun... with all your friends...

...And he's gone.

*Siiiiiiiiigh*

You did the right thing, Nowi.

H-he was my best friend ever... *sniff* Oh gods, I miss him so much! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Janaaaaaaaaaff!

Heh. Easy there, Nowi. We don't want you to pull something...
