Oh crai more Saft, NO ONE CURRRR.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Mun person, I've been totally fine for months without his support or needing him to be there...

Why should I start needing him now?

Let's face it Uncle Glad's probably happier without me being in the way anyhow. Just another huge burden in his life he didn't need. I just-

Okay, you know what? I can't do this. I can't pretend I don't miss him when we both know I do. There's so much I want to tell him about. The friends I've made? The adventures I've had? They're all the sorts of things someone should enthuse about to a well liked parental figure.

Long story short, I wish he was in the city.

...Maybe he'd know what those dreams I've been having are about too.

Lilacinus and I had a very precious love. Were you to find someone who thought so dearly for you as I did for her, I would be grateful...

I do think someday you will find love, Nivalis... as for whether or not it proves to be what you are truly ready for, time will tell.

But be that as it may, even if love lets you down, you will always have your uncle should you need to cry. I was not quite so lucky to have someone to turn to when I lost Lilacinus. I would never, ever, inflict the same pain onto you.

You know what's strange, You've called me "Nivalis" twice today and I haven't minded at all. [That's what Ravus called her by and she hates it. It makes her feel so uncomfortable.]

I know that's my real name and all, But it still feels a little strange when I've been so used to being called Saft all this time.

[notglad]

It's your name.

[He sighs.]

I suppose these days I find it gives you more of a regal touch than Saft Goldenscale. Really, now.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

I'm hardly regal Uncle Glad.

[Feet on the table, stuffing her face with food, getting into scrapes? Not the sort of thing a real lady should pursuit in.]

Even you have to admit that.

[notglad]

I do realize it will take considerable effort, but I have faith someday you will be the noblewoman your name decrees you should be.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

...But it's so dull!

Standing around and talking about...about fancy tea-parties and dragons I've never even met! Not to mention all the terms and stuff I'm not entirely clued in to!

It's hard work pretending I'm actually interested, when there's so much to see and do out doors! So much space to fly around and have fun in. Who knows what's out there waiting?

[notglad]

..are you telling me you're all right with using your dragon half now?

[He seems completely stunned.]

Because if flying is what you seek then we should!!

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Well yeah, Look, I know I don't look like I'm not paying attention most of the time to stuff that goes on around here but I do.

...I like flying.

[She shrugs, seriously is that big of a thing? She didn't realize how happy it'd make her uncle see that she'd really want to go and do these things.]

[notglad]

Mostly I've seen you take an extreme disliking to your dragon half. It makes me happy to know you're more relaxed about it, now. It's truly a victory for you, niece!

I---I'm proud...

[Oh dear, he's tearing up. And now he's hugging you dramatically.]

Fhuu.. I never though this day would come... my niece and I are able to soar together... fhuu fhuuu...

[whitescalesbigmouth]

It's no big deal! [Oh geeze now he's crying and being an ultimate sap. This is usually her role.]

I mean, I find it's been a great stress reliever for when we've had a fight or something or I just want to stop thinking about everything that gets me upset.

Flying's the only time I feel free and I'm good at it too.

[notglad]

[He then pulls away, showing an evil grin.]

Good. I'll have you prepare for aerial training immediately. Oh, this truly IS a joy!!

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Aerial training?!

[Now hold up. Flying's supposed to be fun - where's the fun if someone has to teach her how she can and can't fly?]

Well okay! I-If it'll make you happy.

[notglad]

[You know your uncle. All fun and games means laziness.]

Excellent! We'll be up at dawn tomorrow to fly to Mount Zephyr and if you're late then Geronimo gets yours breakfast.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Mount Zephyr? [But that thing's huge!]

U-Uh yes Uncle. I'll be up bright and early!
