Fictional Worlds

Fear of the unknown is the fear most dangerous.

...And yet, why do I not feel that fear around her? I must learn why!

Put that dragonstone away, you little extortionist.

I will play one more time. ...But only because I happen to feel like it!

It is not entirely unpleasant, after all. With you I do not feel that icy grip of fear...

Oh, how sad! I don't know! I don't know anything about families!

Nowi: Yay! I bet no one's better at sneaking around people's houses than you! Lon'qu: ...What is that supposed to mean?

Lon'qu: This is a game no longer, Nowi. I want us to be a real family. And so I must offer you a real ring.

Lon'qu: No, silly. I want to be your husband. Nowi: Gosh! You mean we wouldn't have to pretend anymore? We could have our own real-life family? Oh, Lon'qu—tell me I'm not dreaming!

Lon'qu: Like you, I have been alone for a very long time. I find this new life agreeable, and I wouldn't want to share it with anyone but you.

Nowi: *Sigh* I wish I had some manakete friends. That would be more fun. Henry: Well, I can't promise anything, but I might be able to conjure one up for you. Nowi: You could? Henry: Sure! I'll need to make some preparations first, though. Might take some time.

Nowi: I want a real friend! Someone I can laugh with and talk with and cry with!

Henry: Hey, Nowi. I've finally conjured up a plan that'll solve your problem. Nowi: You mean about finding me a manakete friend? Henry: Yep. And unlike the hologram, this will be a real live, talking, laughing dragon. The only catch is it's going to take time. ...Lots and lots of time.

So my plan is, we'll get married and have a bunch of children. They're going to be part manakete, what with you being the mum and all. And then once they grow up, BAM! Manakete playmates for life! Nowi: Gosh, Henry! That's ingenious! Why didn't I think of that? Hee hee! So I suppose this means we're going to be husband and wife? Henry: Sure does! A lifetime of fun and games, coming right up!
