[00:10] Fennel
    Thanks for the great work, as always.
[00:14] Fennel
    Sorry for the rush delivery request.
[00:17] Glind
    I won't do it again.
[00:19] Fennel
    Anything I can hook you up with
    as a thank-you? I know all the vendors.
[00:25] Glind
    There is one thing.
[00:30] Glind
    I want a cute girlfriend.
[00:35] Fennel
    Go for it. There's some papier-mâché
    on the cabinet shelves.
[00:38] Glind
    You want me to make one?!
[00:40] Fennel
    Dang, this is fine work!
[00:42] Glind
    That's no way to treat a friend!
[00:45] Glind
    This is why girls don't like you,
    you damn elfin virgin!
[00:47] Fennel
    No one asked for your input,
    you damn orc virgin!
[00:51] Glind
    Please!
[00:52] Glind
    Introduce me to a tall, strong-willed,
    pretty, long-haired elf babe!
[00:58] Glind
    Even we orcs want a girl
    to mess us up once in a while!
[01:01] Fennel
    Don't say stuff like that!
    It makes me wanna hook you up less!
[01:05] Glind
    Should you really say that to me?
[01:08] Glind
    You owe me for helpin' you
    set up business on my turf.
[01:15] Fennel
    If you're okay with a non-elf,
    I do know one girl that fits the bill.
[01:21] Glind
    Yay!

    So, this is Viola the witch.
[03:10] Glind
    What a pleasure to meet you!
[03:14] Viola
    Witch Kick!
[03:17] Fennel
    That's a dumb attack name!
[03:21] Viola
    Explain why you called me out of the blue
    and introduced me to a man.
[03:25] Viola
    I'd win any lawsuit over this.
[03:28] Fennel
    Yes, Miss Viola.
[03:35] Fennel
    I really am sorry! But you're
    the only one I can go to with this.
[03:40] Fennel
    All I'm asking is that you have tea with him!
[03:42] Viola
    Meh, don't wanna.
[03:44] Fennel
    Okay, then all I'm asking is for you
    to shout "crawl back to the swamp,"
[03:48] Fennel
    slap him in the face, and spit on him!

[03:53] Fennel
    Yes, ma'am.
[03:53] Viola
    That's less appealing!
[03:55] Fennel
    He's my friend, and I owe him,
    so I want to help him out.
[03:58] Fennel
    Just a few minutes, okay?
[04:02] Viola
    Well, he doesn't seem like a bad guy...
[04:08] Viola
    Fine. If you can meet my
    conditions, I'll talk with him.
[04:14] Fennel
    Lay 'em on me!
[04:16] Viola
    Say, "Please save my poor
    stupid loser self, Viola."
[04:22] Fennel
    P-Please save... my poor...
    stupid... loser self... Viola!
[04:33] Viola
    Of course.
[04:40] Waitress
    One cream soda.
[04:43] Fennel
    Okay, let's start over
    with self-introductions.
[04:47] Glind
    I'm Glind! I'm an orc!
[04:49] Viola
    I'm Viola. I'm a witch.
[04:54] Glind
    Fennel, you pulled it off.
    She's really cute!
[04:58] Fennel
    I did my part.
    Whatever happens next is on you.
[05:02] Fennel
    By the way, she may not look it,
    but she's still 16.
[05:05] Fennel
    Don't do anything creepy.
[05:09] Glind
    I wouldn't do that no matter
    how old she was.
[05:11] Fennel
    Also, she may suddenly get violent.
[05:15] Fennel
    If that happens, either flee at high speed
    or surrender unconditionally.
[05:19] Glind
    Wait, what?
[05:23] Viola
    So, how did you two become friends?
[05:27] Fennel
    I met him when I went
    to buy furniture from him.
[05:31] Glind
    We kind of hit it off,
    so we've kept up the relationship.
[05:37] Fennel
    It's been a pretty long time, huh?
[05:38] Viola
    Then would you know Fennel's weaknesses?
[05:42] Fennel
    Don't try to exploit our friendship.
[05:44] Glind
    I'll sell you any information you may desire!
[05:48] Fennel
    You backstabbing pig!
[05:52] Glind
    I make furniture for a living.
    I'm a pretty good general craftsman, too.
[05:57] Viola
    That's so impressive!
    I'm so clumsy, I'm jealous!
[06:03] Glind
    No, wielding magic is more impressive!
[06:05] Glind
    How do you do it?
[06:07] Viola
    Most things work out if you throw
    enough magical force at them.
[06:11] Glind
    Is magic usually a muscle-brain thing?
[06:14] Fennel
    I'm pretty sure it's just her.
[06:16] Viola
    Shall I try demonstrating summoning magic?
[06:19] Viola
    I can call up a monster
    who loves to eat live elves.
[06:24] Fennel
    Do not do that!

    Here's your parfait.
[06:33] Viola
    Thank you.
[06:34] Waitress
    Enjoy.
[06:35] Glind
    What's your type, by the way?
[06:38] Viola
    That'd be Mama.
[06:40] Glind
    Do you have a hobby?
[06:41] Viola
    That'd be Mama.
[06:43] Glind
    Uh, does she hate me?
[06:46] Fennel
    What? Of course not.
[06:48] Glind
    But she's not answering me seriously.
[06:51] Fennel
    It's fine. She means every word.
[06:53] Glind
    Is that really fine?!
[06:59] Viola
    My mom is an herbalist,
    so I help out with that.
[07:04] Viola
    And sometimes the townsfolk
    ask me to do magic for them.
[07:08] Viola
    Finding lost things, minor fortune
    telling, that kind of stuff.
[07:16] Viola
    I was actually supposed to go
    to the library with Mama today.
[07:20] Viola
    But Fennel was so insistent
    that Mama told me to do this for him.
[07:28] Viola
    Isn't Mama kind?
[07:31] Viola
    Unlike me.
[07:34] Viola
    You haven't done anything wrong,
    Glind, so don't worry about it.
[07:38] Viola
    You haven't.
[07:40] Fennel
    Do you understand, now, that
    I risked my life to arrange this?
[07:44] Viola
    Gotcha! I was just joking.
[07:48] Viola
    Did I scare you?
[07:50] Fennel
    Liar! I know you were serious!
[07:53] Viola
    Was not!
[07:54] Viola
    Obviously, I wouldn't have come here
    if I had plans with Mama.
[07:57] Fennel
    That part was the joke?!
[08:00] Viola
    But don't get me wrong! I didn't mean
    that I didn't want to meet you, Glind.
[08:04] Glind
    It's all right. It's my fault
    for asking so much.
[08:10] Glind
    Viola, you're a kind, compassionate person.
[08:15] Fennel
    Consider her attitude toward me
    before you say that!
[08:18] Glind
    She must be a wonderful mother,
    if you respect her so much.
[08:22] Glind
    I'd love to meet her one day.
[08:27] Fennel
    You'd better not be after Alyssa.
[08:31] Viola
    Get close to Mama
     and I'll show you no mercy.
[08:33] Glind
    What?!
[08:35] Glind
    You've got it all wrong!
    That's not my intent!
[08:37] Glind
    I have no interest in her at all!
[08:39] Fennel
    You've got no right to say that
    when you've never even met her!
[08:42] Viola
    Are you calling Mama unappealing?!
[08:44] Glind
    What do you want from me?!
[08:47] Viola
    But I like that you grasped what a wonderful
    mother she is from so little information.
[08:51] Viola
    You have good instincts.
[08:53] Glind
    I think she just accepted me.
[08:55] Viola
    You can come visit our house
    if you promise never to flirt with her!
[09:00] Viola
    You're my new friend, after all!
[09:02] Glind
    Ba-dum.
[09:03] Viola
    FYI, I don't mean, "let's start
    with friendship."
[09:07] Viola
    I mean, "this will never progress
    beyond friendship."
[09:11] Glind
    Thank you for not leaving me
    false hope, I guess.
[09:16] Waitress
    Here's your bill.
[09:18] Fennel
    Right, thanks.
[09:20] Restaurant Staff
    Thank you very much!
[09:25] Glind
    Aw, she's not interested.
[09:28] Fennel
    Don't give up on her.
    It's not like there's zero hope.
[09:34] Fennel
    I'm on your side, no matter what.
    I'll support you.
[09:39] Glind
    Fennel...
[09:41] Fennel
    Plus, if she gets a lover, her
    over-protectiveness for Alyssa might let up.
[09:45] Glind
    So it's about you?!
[09:46] Glind
    I don't want to be "supported"
    out of self-interest!
[09:49] Fennel
    Why not?! I'm saying let's help each
    other out as two self-interested men!
[09:53] Glind
    Don't get mad at me!
[09:55] Fennel
    I'm telling you, it's fine.
    She's got some big weak spots.
[09:59] Fennel
    You can do this if you push it!
[10:01] Fennel
    And if you two get together,
    that'll be the perfect setup
[10:04] Fennel
    for me to get closer to Alyssa
    while she's lonely for her kid!
[10:08] Glind
    Um...
[10:11] Viola
    You left your wallet at the restaurant.
[10:25] Viola
    I'm home!
[10:28] Alyssa
    Welcome—hmm? Who is this?
[10:32] Viola
    This is Glind. We made friends!
[10:36] Alyssa
    Hello! I'm Alyssa, Viola's mother.
[10:41] Alyssa
    Er...
[10:42] Glind
    ...won't defy...
[10:43] Glind
    ...defy...
[10:46] Glind
    I will never defy your daughter, ma'am.
[10:50] Alyssa
    What happened today?!
[10:51] Viola
    Nothing, why?
[11:09] Alyssa
    I'm home!
[11:11] Viola
    Welcome back!
[11:13] Viola
    You left so suddenly. What were you—
[11:16] Viola
    Mama, what's that?
[11:19] Alyssa
    Let me show you.
[11:23] Viola
    You laid an egg, Mama?!
[11:25] Alyssa
    Why would you think that?!

[11:32] Viola
    I didn't know angels laid eggs.
[11:35] Alyssa
    I'm hearing some scary things
    from you, but they're wrong!
[11:39] Alyssa
    This is a lizardkin egg!
[11:42] Viola
    Lizardkin? Does it belong to
    Guita and Malak from town?
[11:49] (Flashback) Gita
    Sorry this is so last-minute!
[11:51] Alyssa
    Yep, the hunter couple.
SIGN    Lizardkin hunter
SIGN    Guita Age 27
[11:54] Alyssa
    A job came in that they need
    to work together on,
[11:56] Alyssa
    so they asked me to watch their egg.
SIGN    Malak / Ditto / Age 31
[11:59] Viola
    Sorry, Mama. The shock got me all confused.
[12:03] Alyssa
    I didn't hatch from an egg, by the way.
[12:06] Viola
    So you were born from a flower!
[12:10] Baby Alyssa
    Goo goo!
[12:11] Alyssa
    Are you still confused?!
[12:15] Alyssa
    Anyway, do you want to
    try holding the egg, Viola?
[12:19] Viola
    Me?!
[12:20] Alyssa
    Uh-huh!
[12:30] Alyssa
    People who aren't used to babies
    have a special sort of awkwardness...
[12:38] Viola
    I can't! I'm afraid I'll drop it!
[12:40] Alyssa
    It's scary when you're not used to it, huh?
[12:43] Viola
    But I guess the baby's
    protected inside the egg.
[12:47] Viola
    I'd probably be even scareder
    with a human baby.
[12:51] Alyssa
    You're right, the egg
    is pretty hard to break,
[12:53] Alyssa
    but they still seem to worry.
[12:55] (Flashback) Gita
    I'm terrified every day
[12:58] (Flashback) Gita
    that I'll leave it somewhere,
    or break it, or let it get kidnapped.
[13:03] (Flashback) Gita
    I wish I could keep it inside me
    until the baby's born, like a human.

    have different markings?
[13:17] Alyssa
    They vary, but eggs from the same parents
    all have the same basic pattern.

    Who is that egg-based creature?!
[13:48] Viola
    I bet this is what the husband acts like.
[13:53] Phoenix
    I see, a lizardkin child.
[13:57] Phoenix
    If I touch it, I might invite calamity.
[14:01] Viola
    Huh? Is there a legend about that?
[14:04] Phoenix
    Nay. But I thought the parents would not like
[14:07] Phoenix
    a stranger getting touchy with their baby.
[14:10] Viola
    His reason was grounded in reality.
[14:13] Phoenix
    As the big sister, thou shouldst care for it
    with devotion enough for us both.
[14:19] Viola
    Big sister?
[14:24] Viola
    Say, Mama. Want me to change its diaper?
[14:27] Alyssa
    But it's still in its shell.
[14:30] Viola
    Then should we give it a bath?
[14:32] Alyssa
    Guita said they don't bathe babies
    while they're still in the shell.
[14:35] Viola
    Oh...
[14:37] Alyssa
    But the lizardkin village has a tradition
[14:40] Alyssa
    of putting eggs in a special spring
    and praying for their health.
SIGN    Local Event
[14:46] Viola
    Wow, that's kind of cute!
[14:49] Phoenix
    It soundeth like egg-boiling.
[14:51] Alyssa
    Hey!
[14:54] Alyssa
    Look, Phoen, now Viola's on the defensive
    because of your insensitive remark!
[15:00] Phoenix
    The maternal instinct bareth its fangs.
[15:06] Alyssa
    There aren't many things we can do
    for an unhatched baby,
[15:08] Alyssa
    since eggs don't need baths,
    diapers, or feeding.
[15:12] Viola
    Aw, I wanna do something for it!
[15:17] Alyssa
    In that case, why not read it a story?
[15:21] Alyssa
    Babies can hear outside sounds
    even while they're still in eggs
[15:24] Alyssa
    or in their moms' tummies!
[15:27] Viola
    Then I'll explain the pictures
    in your album to it!
[15:30] Viola
    I'll soothe it with the cutest
    thing in the world.
[15:33] Phoenix
    I bid thee to select thy educational
    materials by normal standards.
[15:37] Alyssa
    Exactly! Let's do Viola's album instead!
[15:40] Phoenix
    I bid thee learnest from
    the mistakes of others.
[15:43] Phoenix
    If sounds reach it,
    perhaps my song would suit?
[15:47] Phoenix
    I shall serenade it with
    the warblings of the little birds.
[15:51] Alyssa
    "Little"?
[15:52] Viola
    Is that okay? There won't be a weird wave?
[15:56] Phoenix
    Thou woundest me.
[15:57] Phoenix
    My song bringeth serenity to all life,
    regardless of species.
[16:03] Phoenix
    It shall lead ye to peace of mind as well!
[16:08] Viola
    I kind of want to hear that!
[16:12] Phoenix
    The visual and auditory hallucinations
    which beset listeners after the fifth minute
[16:15] Phoenix
    are its only drawback.
[16:17] Viola
    Then there is a wave!
[16:22] Alyssa
    I'll hold it, so why don't
    we just talk to it normally?
[16:26] Viola
    Okay, I'll do that.
[16:28] Viola
    Grow up big and strong!
[16:31] Viola
    Specifically, around five meters!
[16:36] Alyssa
    Your expectation is too high!
[16:38] Alyssa
    I think we should avoid putting pressure
    on the baby before it's even born.
[16:42] Viola
    Good point. We want kids
    to grow up free and independent.
[16:46] Viola
    Either big or small is okay!
[16:49] Viola
    Even not being a lizardkin is okay!
[16:53] Seaweed Baby
    I wanna be seaweed!
[16:55] Alyssa
    That's too much freedom!
[17:11] Gita
    Thanks so much for today.
[17:13] Alyssa
    Nonsense, it was my pleasure.
[17:16] Malak
    A token of our thanks.
[17:18] Malak
    It's an ostrich egg boiled
    in a magma hot spring.
[17:20] Narrator
    This is a gift associated with
    the lizardkin village's baby blessing event.
[17:26] Narrator
    It's a sort of dark joke which non-locals
    aren't sure whether to laugh at or not.
[17:31] Narrator
    It's tasty.
[17:33] Malak
    You can do whatever you want with this egg.
[17:37] Alyssa
    Th-Thank you.
[17:41] Gita
    Did Viola help look after it, too?
[17:44] Alyssa
    Yes, and so did Phoen!
[17:46] Malak
    Who's "Phoen"?
[17:48] Phoenix
    Thou calledst?
[17:51] Malak
    What's with this giant bird?!
[17:52] Phoenix
    Hmm? Me?
[17:52] Alyssa
    Er, he's a phoenix. He's Viola's familiar.
[17:56] Gita
    My, how impressive!
[17:59] Gita
    Viola.
[18:02] Gita
    Give it a hug goodbye.
[18:04] Viola
    Huh?
[18:04] Viola
    Oh, no, I haven't even held it!
    I don't have experience, so I might drop it!
[18:10] Gita
    Don't worry! No baby of ours is that fragile.
[18:14] Gita
    Here.
[18:21] Alyssa
    Wonderful! You're holding it really well.
[18:24] Gita
    She's right. Keep being friends, all right?
[18:29] Viola
    Okay!
[18:31] Viola
    I'll support this baby even if
    it turns into seaweed.
[18:36] Gita
    Where did that come from?!
[18:48] Fennel
    Alyssa invited me to eat with her.
    My time has finally come!
[19:14] Fennel
    So what is this, exactly?
[19:17] Viola
    A friend-making club, maybe?
[19:19] Fennel
    How old do you think I am?
[19:23] Fennel
    Er, Viola... Are you by any chance
    holding a grudge about the café date?
[19:29] Viola
    Oh, no. I just thought
    maybe you'd back off of Mama
[19:34] Viola
    if you made some new friends.
[19:37] Fennel
    You're totally holding a grudge!
[19:41] Viola
    You brought me someone last time, right?
[19:44] Viola
    So this time, I brought you someone.
[19:49] Fennel
    Me?
[19:52] Fennel
    Are you really introducing me
    to one of your female friends?
[19:56] Fennel
    No, Fennel! Alyssa is your one and only!
[20:02] Viola
    This is Live Food Lover.
[20:06] Fennel
    You are obviously holding a grudge!
[20:09] Fennel
    Dammit, Viola!
[20:10] Fennel
    More importantly, what are you
    doing here? Stay away from me!
[20:15] Viola
    Livie wants to get to know you better.
[20:17] Viola
    Good for you, getting a love confession.
[20:20] Fennel
    This is a different kind of love!
    Specifically, the "favorite food" kind!
[20:25] Viola
    That's not a nice thing to say.
[20:28] Viola
    People who can't respond
    to others' emotions with kindness
[20:31] Viola
    are Mama's least favorite type.
[20:40] Fennel
    Too scary!
[20:41] Fennel
    Its name is threatening,
[20:43] Fennel
    and I don't get the point
    of a monster who only eats elves!
[20:47] Live Food Lover
    Oh, but I love the morning dew
    and the flowers' nectar, too.
[20:51] Fennel
    You can talk?
[20:54] Fennel
    H-Hey, stop!
[20:55] Fennel
