Dialogue
  1. Rafiel

    Mmph.

  2. Ike

    What's wrong, Prince Rafiel? Are you feeling sick?

  3. Rafiel

    ...No. I am all right. Thank you, though.

  4. Ike

    ...You're a real puzzle, you know that?

  5. Rafiel

    Why do you say that?

  6. Ike

    You look a lot like your brother Reyson, but you're nothing like him.

    Reyson looks delicate, but on the inside he's all iron. You, on the other hand...

    I don't know. I worry that I might kill you if I shout too loud or something.

  7. Rafiel

    ...I'm sorry.

  8. Ike

    See? That's exactly what I mean! You should get mad at me for saying that, not say "I'm sorry." I mean, come on!

  9. Rafiel

    I-I apologize.

  10. Ike

    There you go again! What I mean is that--

  11. Nailah

    That's enough, Ike. Rafiel is everything that herons are expected to be: quiet, elegant, and delicate.

    Those are words people use to describe herons, and he fits all three.

  12. Ike

    Yeah, well... None of those words fit Reyson.

  13. Nailah

    True. Maybe Princess Leanne is only so innocent and sweet because she was asleep for twenty years.

    Prince Reyson certainly doesn't seem to have any of the characteristics herons are known for.

  14. Ike

    King Tibarn did mention that "real" herons are more like Prince Rafiel.

  15. Nailah

    Prince Reyson spent a long time in the care of the hawk tribe. No doubt he's picked up all sorts of quirks.

    Thank goodness Reyson hasn't picked up Tibarn's speech or mannerisms, though. It would be completely ridiculous.

    Can you imagine a man with Reyson's looks, talking and acting like Tibarn? I don't think I could help but laugh at him.

  16. Ike

    Well, he told me he wanted to be just like King Tibarn. He admires Tibarn a great deal.

  17. Rafiel

    Reyson said that?

  18. Ike

    Yeah. What about you?

  19. Rafiel

    Well... Sure, it'd be nice to be a bit more like Tibarn, I suppose.

  20. Ike

    Well, it looks like you guys really are brothers after all.

  21. Nailah

    Ike, be quiet. You're a bad influence! I won't allow Rafiel to be tainted like that.
