Part 783: Brady A
Hey, Yarne! I saw ya out there on the field!
...And? How was I?
Pretty amazin'! You really held your own!
Heh, stop. You'll make me blush!
Took ya long enough to get serious, but it was worth all the badgering. Now ya just have to keep it up. No more runnin' from the front lines!
Wait, what?
You're tough when you actually bother to fight, yeah? So I'm sayin' you need to make every battle a repeat of today!
Er, I don't... That was a one-time thing. I was just proving a point! I thought I could go back to... you know? NOT proving a point?
You realize we're still at war here, right? Don't make me slap an endangered species!
N-no, wait! I just... I just think all my fallen ancestors would be angry if I risked the life of the last taguel!
You're gonna have a lot more than angry ghosts to worry about here in a sec!
Gah! Quit yelling at me! You're freaking me out! Stress is bad for the heart! Are you trying to kill me?!
Don't tempt me, bunny! And seriously, did you completely miss what I meant before?!
...Did I?
You want to talk about your ancestors? Fine! Let's take a look!
Huh?
The taguel are natural born fighters, yeah? So what does that tell ya? They've been fightin' for generations! They valued strength above all in their partners! Fightin' ain't just how they survived, it's who they were! It's your heritage! As the last inheritor of that legacy, ain't it your job to make sure THAT don't die?!
.....
Whew... Got a little hot under the collar there.
...But you're right. I guess somewhere along the way, I lost sight of what I was trying to protect. No more running. I'll muster up my courage and face life head-on!
...Ish.
THAT'S IT! IT'S SLAPPIN' TIME!
H-hey, I'm not going to change into a whole new person overnight! I'll give it my best shot, but I'm sure there will still be times I want to run and hide.
Well, I guess I can stick around to light a fire under that tail of yours when ya do!
Thanks, Brady. I'll be counting on you to do just that!
Oh, it'll be my pleasure, rabbit.
