Spirits Ablaze/Merrin: Suave Knight

Merrin: Suave Knight - C

Merrin	Wow, I’ve never seen a bird like that. This book says it’s an Askr sparrow. And there’s a flock of Askr doves! They resemble Elyosian pigeons but have completely different colored wings. Oh, they’re so beautiful! Commander Anna said they’re totally common birds, but to me they’re all completely new and thrilling! Since I came here from another world, the animals here are all rare critters to me. Askr is wonderful! Haha! I’m so glad I was summoned!
You’re making a ruckus.		Panne
Merrin	Huh?! Is someone there?
I swear. I have no chance of getting a good nap today.		Panne
Merrin	I’m so... That is, I’m very sorry.
Eh, it’s my fault for trying to sleep in a place like this. I’ll just move to somewhere else. I’ll transform and be in my favorite rocky spot in no time.		Panne
Merrin	Transform?
Bye now. ...		Panne
Merrin	What?! Sh-she! She turned into an animal?! There were people in Elyos who’d turn into dragons, but nobody that changed into animals... What is she? She moved so fast... Those long ears... Sh-she’s a rabbit?! She’s so cute! I need to observe her more! W-wait! Wait up! Big rabbit! Wait for me!

Merrin: Suave Knight - B

Merrin	Rrraaah! Haaa! I finally caught up! Hey you! Big rabbit!
I recognize you. Did you run all the way here as a human? Hmm, no...I see you have a tail. Are you of the taguel?		Panne
Merrin	Oh, no, this tail is fake. I’m just a normal old human. Um, what is a taguel? Is that what your people are called?
In Ylisse, people like me, who transform into rabbits, are known as the taguel.		Panne
Merrin	I see! Thank you for teaching me. I’m Merrin. If it’s OK, can I ask your name as well?
I am Panne.		Panne
Merrin	Panne! What a wonderful name! It’s both lovable and dignified. What a fantastic being you are, able to change your form into that of a rabbit! How nice...I wish my tail was real...
You want a real tail? So you intend to hunt me?		Panne
Merrin	H-hunt you?! Why would I do that?!
Because our hides are rare and quite valuable. Long ago in my world, taguel were treated as less than beasts. And there were some whose hides were sold.		Panne
Merrin	That’s awful! I’d never do that! I followed you here because I wanted to talk to you. I love all kinds of animals! I respect them as much as the Divine Dragon! To me someone like you is worth all my respect! You’re almost a subject of worship!
... It seems you tell the truth. And I recall your ramblings about animals earlier as well.		Panne
Merrin	Oh. You heard that?
Taguel possess excellent hearing. Merrin, you really do like animals, don’t you?		Panne
Merrin	Animals are the best! And I think you’re fascinating, Panne. I’d really like to keep talking with you. I mean, if that’s something you’d be OK with.
In that case, come. I will introduce you to others like me.		Panne
Merrin	There are others like you?!

Merrin: Suave Knight - A

Panne	Here we are, Merrin. We’ve arrived.
Wow! There are so many animals.		Merrin
Panne	They are like me. We gather here often when the weather is good.
Kitties! Big kitties!		Merrin
Lethe	Do not call us kitties. We are the beast tribe laguz. Panne may have accepted you, but I do not trust humans easily.
Lethe, you say that, but you always end up becoming friends with the beorc who come here.		Lyre
Ranulf	You are Merrin? You did well to come all the way here. Relax and make yourself comfortable.
Sorry for barging into your space so suddenly, but I am very happy to meet you.		Merrin
Panne	This is Lethe, Lyre, and Ranulf. We often nap together.
Cats and rabbits... Er, I mean, laguz and taguel...napping together? Oh, how cute.		Merrin
Lethe	...
I am sorry. I...I want to be friends with the laguz, and learn everything I can about you.		Merrin
Lethe	Well, they don’t come here often, but there are other laguz. Hawks, ravens, herons, lions, and wolves...
Wolves? I’d love to meet one. I, uh, I’m friends with a wolf, so it would be nice if I could meet a wolf laguz.		Merrin
Keaton	Is that so? Well, if you’re looking for a wolf, there’s one right here!
What?		Merrin
Keaton	I am Keaton, a proud wolfskin. Watch close as I assume the form of the best hunter on Mount Garou! Awooo!
Y-you transformed?! You’re different from the wolves I know, but you’re still incredible.		Merrin
Kaden	Oh? Do we have a visitor? Then I must show them the form of a kitsune too! Haaa!
A fox! You’re beautiful, and so fluffy.		Merrin
Selkie	Hehe. Daddy’s fur is pretty, isn’t it?
My daddy’s is best. He as a round tuft at the tip of his tail...		Velouria
Merrin	Daddy? You’re parent and child? You two fathers looks so young. Is that a common characteristic of your people? I can’t believe I got to see kitsune and wolfskin father-and-daughter duos. What an incredible day.
You wish to see parents with their children? I have a son too. Though he is hiding and won’t come out... Look.		Panne
Yarne	We’re going to go extinct if we talk to strangers all the time!
So cute.		Merrin
Panne	That’s everyone here now, I think. What do you think of my friends?
They’re fantastic! The laguz, wolfskin, kitsune, and the taguel... I can’t believe I’m talking to you all like this. Thank you, Panne. I hope we can be close friends.		Merrin
Panne	You are making this bigger than it is. But, if you are happy, then so am I. Our people are few, even in the worlds we call home... There is value in people knowing we exist and remembering us, so long as they are good people like you, Merrin. That is particularly true for the taguel. Our people stand on the very edge of extinction.
Panne... With your permission, I’ll spread word of your people, and others like them, in Elyos too. Oh! I don’t know if this is enough to show my gratitude, but I have a lunch box of nice vegetables and snacks. I’d like you to have it.		Merrin
Panne	Oh? There are carrots in there? Yes, I will happily take one. Mmm...this is delicious.
Oh, you’re even adorable eating. This is the best day ever!		Merrin

Merrin: Suave Knight - S

Panette	You made so many new friends! How wonderful.
The laguz, taguel, kitsune, and the wolfskin too? Amazing! I saw some writings in the Order’s archives, but I didn’t learn much. Tell us everything!		Timerra
Merrin	You’re in luck! I wrote down detailed descriptions of their appearance after transforming. Here you go, my princess, and for you as well, Panette.
Yay! Thank you! Let’s read it right away! Whoa! Hey!		Timerra
Panette	What an amazing gust of wind!
My papers! I have to go pick them up! Huh? Look. Someone’s picking them up. Huh? Are they... It can’t be! Dragons?! There are one, two, three... So many dragons!		Merrin
Tiki	Hello. This is yours, isn’t it?
Th-thank you!		Merrin
Myrrh	Some were blown over here as well!
I picked some up too!		Fae
Nowi	Me too! Me too! What a fun paper-pickup game!
It’s not a game, Mother. Her papers got blown away. Let’s hurry and give them back to her!		Nah
Merrin	Whoa! They’re all transforming into humans!
They’re manaketes! Dragons from other worlds!		Timerra
Panette	Dragons? Like Queen Lumera?
Manaketes, eh?		Merrin
Kana	Here. That’s the last of them!
It’s a good thing these papers didn’t fly too far!		Kana
Merrin	Th-thank you...very much.
You were such a great help! I should expect no less of dragons.		Panette
Timerra	We’re so lucky to meet so many manaketes all at once, don’t you think, Merrin? Merrin? Hello?
D-dragons... I love dragons... There are so...many. Dragons. I’m so happy. *sigh*		Merrin
Timerra	Oh, she fainted.
G-get a hold of yourself! Are you OK, miss?!		Tiki
Timerra	She’s fine. Everyone! Gather around her in your dragon forms. It may wake her. Is that OK with all of you?
Of course! A simple task!		Kana
Kana	So we’re going to play a dragon push-and-shove game!
B-Boss... Aren’t you afraid that when Merrin wakes up, she’ll just faint again?		Panette
Timerra	Oh, she’ll be fine. She’s the happiest she’s even been, and she needs to be awake to enjoy it. Stand next to her too, Panette!
What... I heard the flapping of great wings, so I came to investigate, but... Dragons gathered in a circle? They’re surrounding Merrin? This will be quite an event when she wakes. Hehe. How nice for you, Merrin. It will be so good for us all to talk together once more.		Panne
