Part 570: Robin A

Cherche, I believe I've found the perfect wyvern for Minerva! Here, look at this... ...Well? What do you think? Not bad, eh?

If this oil painting is accurate, he appears absolutely perfect!

Look, Minerva! What do you think? Isn't he terribly handsome?

(Minerva roars)

Oh, she definitely likes him.

Thank heavens! I was just about at the end of my rope with all this wyvern business...

Thank you, Robin. We both appreciate everything you've done for us. You are truly too kind.

Well, if I do succeed, I imagine my name will go down in history books.

As the first-ever chaperone for a wyvern blind date? Oh yes. I wager you'll be famous for centuries.

...Wait. I'M not going to be there when they meet! That's absurd! I've never even matched up people, let alone giant reptiles!

Oh, you're a quick study. I'm sure it will all go swimmingly.

I'm not!

If it makes you feel better, I'll be there as well. I'm very familiar with the nitty-gritty of wyvern romance.

She seems sure that you are the key to all of this working.

A BEE IS LURKING?! I CAN'T... WAIT. HOLD ON! *sniiiiiiff* ...Oh, gods, that's better. My ears just popped. But look, I still have no idea what I'm actually doing...

*Sigh* Aw, heck. I started this. I suppose I might as well see it through to the end.

Oh, I'm so glad to hear you say that! And so is Minerva. Aren't you, Minerva?

(Minerva roars)

WAAAH GODS! NOT AGAIN!
