Yakul

You

Uh-huh.
The

words
367
00:03:06,090 --> 00:03:06,330:

00:03:16,259 --> 00:03:16,469:
Not

Then

away.

00:04:29,610 --> 00:04:29,739:
He
512
00:04:29,739 --> 00:04:29,879:
knew

00:04:29,879 --> 00:04:30,060:
not

still
522
00:04:34,230 --> 00:04:35,970:
hurt.
He

00:04:35,970 --> 00:04:36,269:
quickened
524
00:04:36,269 --> 00:04:36,389:
his
525
00:04:36,389 --> 00:04:42,689:
pace, caught Laika's eye, and signed, I can just journey back to Solmara.
"Yakul...that's dangerous."
She
526
00:04:42,689 --> 00:04:42,930:
wasn’t
527
00:04:42,930 --> 00:04:44,430:
wrong.

A

far

away.

Even

of

like

00:04:54,689 --> 00:04:54,720:
a

living

thing. It
561
00:04:56,310 --> 00:04:56,430:
would
562
00:04:56,430 --> 00:04:56,610:
take

00:04:56,610 --> 00:04:56,910:
months
564
00:04:56,910 --> 00:04:57,029:

the

stayed tameless,
570
00:05:00,990 --> 00:05:03,060:
dangerous.
571
00:05:03,060 --> 00:05:03,389:
Yakul
572
00:05:03,389 --> 00:05:03,509:
knew
573
00:05:03,509 --> 00:05:03,629:
how
574
00:05:03,629 --> 00:05:03,720:
to

00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:03,990:
fight

and
577
00:05:04,079 --> 00:05:05,699:
survive.
578
00:05:05,699 --> 00:05:05,879:
But the
579
00:05:05,879 --> 00:05:07,470:
wildlife,
580
00:05:07,470 --> 00:05:07,589:
and
581
00:05:07,589 --> 00:05:07,829:
those

who
583
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:08,141:
called

Wilds

00:05:08,610 --> 00:05:10,439:
home,
587
00:05:10,439 --> 00:05:10,560:
had
588
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:10,949:
far
589
00:05:10,949 --> 00:05:11,189:
more
590
00:05:11,189 --> 00:05:13,199:
practice.
He
591
00:05:13,199 --> 00:05:13,529:
slapped
592
00:05:13,529 --> 00:05:13,649:
his
593
00:05:13,649 --> 00:05:13,889:
hands
594
00:05:13,889 --> 00:05:14,370:
together,
595
00:05:14,370 --> 00:05:14,610:
loud
596
00:05:14,610 --> 00:05:14,759:
enough
597
00:05:14,759 --> 00:05:14,850:
to
598
00:05:14,850 --> 00:05:15,209:
startle
599
00:05:15,209 --> 00:05:15,269:
a

few

heads,
602
00:05:15,990 --> 00:05:16,470:
then signed
603
00:05:16,470 --> 00:05:17,610:
again.
604
00:05:17,610 --> 00:05:17,790:
Yet
605
00:05:17,790 --> 00:05:18,000:
you're
606
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:18,120:
the
607
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:18,329:
one
608
00:05:18,329 --> 00:05:18,509:
who
609
00:05:18,509 --> 00:05:18,720:
needed
610
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:18,870:
me
611
00:05:18,870 --> 00:05:19,050:
here
612
00:05:19,050 --> 00:05:19,170:
when
613
00:05:19,170 --> 00:05:19,319:
that

00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:20,579:
happened,
616
00:05:20,579 --> 00:05:20,667:
and
617
00:05:20,667 --> 00:05:20,790:
now
618
00:05:20,790 --> 00:05:20,879:
that

00:05:21,899 --> 00:05:22,019:
you
623
00:05:22,019 --> 00:05:22,199:

624
00:05:22,199 --> 00:05:22,259:

higher
626
00:05:22,500 --> 00:05:24,029:
purpose.
"Yakul..."
It's
627
00:05:24,029 --> 00:05:24,240:
not
628
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:25,230:
fair.
From
629
00:05:25,230 --> 00:05:25,319:
the
630
00:05:25,319 --> 00:05:26,910:
soapbox:
"Look!
631
00:05:26,910 --> 00:05:27,240:
That

00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:28,170:
one's hexing

00:05:28,170 --> 00:05:29,189:

Heads
634
00:05:29,189 --> 00:05:29,970:
turned.
635
00:05:29,970 --> 00:05:30,420:
Scales
636
00:05:30,420 --> 00:05:31,019:

hum
638
00:05:31,529 --> 00:05:31,920:
rippled
639
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:32,040:

640
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:32,129:
the

00:05:32,129 --> 00:05:33,120:
crowd.
642
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:33,420:
Judgment
643
00:05:33,420 --> 00:05:35,670:
sharpening.
Yakul's
644
00:05:35,670 --> 00:05:35,879:
ears
645
00:05:35,879 --> 00:05:37,259:
flattened.
646
00:05:37,259 --> 00:05:37,350:
He
647
00:05:37,350 --> 00:05:37,620:
raised
648
00:05:37,620 --> 00:05:37,649:

651
00:05:38,490 --> 00:05:38,970:
clean and
652
00:05:38,970 --> 00:05:40,139:
steady.
653
00:05:40,139 --> 00:05:40,319:
No

655
00:05:41,339 --> 00:05:41,579:
Just
656
00:05:41,579 --> 00:05:41,639:
the
657
00:05:41,639 --> 00:05:42,930:
truth.
658
00:05:42,930 --> 00:05:44,129:
Gasps.
659
00:05:44,129 --> 00:05:45,600:
Thunder. A
660
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:45,930:
breath
661
00:05:45,930 --> 00:05:45,988:
of
662
00:05:45,988 --> 00:05:48,480:
danger.
Laika caught
663
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:48,629:
his
664
00:05:48,629 --> 00:05:49,139:

00:05:49,350 --> 00:05:49,620:
low
667
00:05:49,620 --> 00:05:49,769:
but
668
00:05:49,769 --> 00:05:51,269:
edged. "Enough."
He
669
00:05:51,269 --> 00:05:51,420:
let
670
00:05:51,420 --> 00:05:51,509:

673
00:05:51,870 --> 00:05:52,110:

674
00:05:52,110 --> 00:05:52,172:
a

677
00:05:53,100 --> 00:05:53,368:
paws
678
00:05:53,368 --> 00:05:53,850:

679
00:05:53,850 --> 00:05:54,029:

00:05:54,029 --> 00:05:54,420:

681
00:05:54,420 --> 00:05:54,569:
that
682
00:05:54,569 --> 00:05:54,899:
mirrored
683
00:05:54,899 --> 00:05:56,040:
lighting.
684
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:56,220:
Their
685
00:05:56,220 --> 00:05:56,670:
scents
686
00:05:56,670 --> 00:05:57,149:
mingled
687
00:05:57,149 --> 00:05:57,240:
in
688
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:57,329:
the

00:05:57,329 --> 00:05:57,540:
wet

691
00:05:58,230 --> 00:05:58,920:
storm and
692
00:05:58,920 --> 00:05:59,970:
musk,
693
00:05:59,970 --> 00:06:00,600:
defiance
694
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:00,689:
and
695
00:06:00,689 --> 00:06:01,769:
restraint.
"We
696
00:06:01,769 --> 00:06:01,920:

699
00:06:02,250 --> 00:06:02,339:

00:06:02,339 --> 00:06:02,430:
the

tavern...
702
00:06:03,209 --> 00:06:04,110:
okay?"
703
00:06:04,110 --> 00:06:04,319:
she
704
00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:06,689:
said.
Yakul
705
00:06:06,689 --> 00:06:06,990:
bared
706
00:06:06,990 --> 00:06:07,139:

708
00:06:07,470 --> 00:06:07,620:
but
709
00:06:07,620 --> 00:06:07,769:
kept
710
00:06:07,769 --> 00:06:08,069:
pace
711
00:06:08,069 --> 00:06:08,490:
beside
712
00:06:08,490 --> 00:06:08,730:

tight.
715
00:06:10,529 --> 00:06:10,649:
He
716
00:06:10,649 --> 00:06:11,040:
jammed
717
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:11,160:

719
00:06:11,490 --> 00:06:11,639:

00:06:12,509 --> 00:06:12,870:
rain

00:06:13,649 --> 00:06:15,689:
muzzle.
He signed
727
00:06:15,689 --> 00:06:15,870:

728
00:06:15,870 --> 00:06:16,019:
his

00:06:16,019 --> 00:06:17,129:

730
00:06:17,129 --> 00:06:17,699:
Small,

motions
733
00:06:18,810 --> 00:06:32,365:
she couldn't see.
Fuck you, Laika.
Yakul stopped beneath the sign
734
00:06:32,365 --> 00:06:32,819:
swaying
735
00:06:32,819 --> 00:06:33,000:

Galeheart, not full-sized,

she

He turned toward Yakul and raised his

00:10:13,095 --> 00:10:13,455:
spoke
1230
00:10:13,455 --> 00:10:14,475:

Yakul
1231
00:10:14,475 --> 00:10:14,924:
nodded
1232
00:10:14,924 --> 00:10:15,014:

1434
00:11:53,054 --> 00:11:53,504:
something
1435
00:11:53,504 --> 00:11:53,985:
twist
1436
00:11:53,985 --> 00:11:54,044:
in
1437
00:11:54,044 --> 00:11:54,164:
his
1438
00:11:54,164 --> 00:11:55,304:
chest.
1439
00:11:55,304 --> 00:11:55,965:
That
1440
00:11:55,965 --> 00:11:56,445:
strange
1441
00:11:56,445 --> 00:11:56,804:
warmth
1442
00:11:56,804 --> 00:11:56,894:
of
1443
00:11:56,894 --> 00:11:58,514:
belonging
1444
00:11:58,514 --> 00:11:58,573:
he
1445
00:11:58,573 --> 00:11:58,845:
still
1446
00:11:58,845 --> 00:11:59,085:
didn't
1447
00:11:59,085 --> 00:12:00,375:
trust.
For
1448
00:12:00,375 --> 00:12:00,615:
just
1449
00:12:00,615 --> 00:12:00,644:
a
1450
00:12:00,644 --> 00:12:01,034:
second,
1451
00:12:01,034 --> 00:12:01,485:
Yukon's
1452
00:12:01,485 --> 00:12:01,784:
gaze
1453
00:12:01,784 --> 00:12:01,965:
met
1454
00:12:01,965 --> 00:12:02,865:
his.
1455
00:12:02,865 --> 00:12:03,375:
Firelight
1456
00:12:03,375 --> 00:12:03,764:
caught in
1457
00:12:03,764 --> 00:12:03,884:
his
1458
00:12:03,884 --> 00:12:04,845:
eyes.
1459
00:12:04,845 --> 00:12:05,174:
Not
1460
00:12:05,174 --> 00:12:05,745:
madness,
1461
00:12:05,745 --> 00:12:05,955:
not
1462
00:12:05,955 --> 00:12:06,975:
danger.
1463
00:12:06,975 --> 00:12:07,575:
Control
1464
00:12:07,575 --> 00:12:07,845:
wearing
1465
00:12:07,845 --> 00:12:07,904:
a
1466
00:12:07,904 --> 00:12:09,791:
grin.
Yakul
1467
00:12:09,791 --> 00:12:09,975:
looked
1468
00:12:09,975 --> 00:12:10,154:
away
1469
00:12:10,154 --> 00:12:11,654:
first.
Yakul
1470
00:12:11,654 --> 00:12:11,865:
took
1471
00:12:11,865 --> 00:12:11,924:
in
1472
00:12:11,924 --> 00:12:12,014:
the
1473
00:12:12,014 --> 00:12:12,195:
room
1474
00:12:12,195 --> 00:12:12,945:
again.
1475
00:12:12,945 --> 00:12:13,065:
The
1476
00:12:13,065 --> 00:12:13,335:
blue
1477
00:12:13,335 --> 00:12:13,815:
light,
1478
00:12:13,815 --> 00:12:13,904:
the
1479
00:12:13,904 --> 00:12:14,115:
hum
1480
00:12:14,115 --> 00:12:14,264:
of
1481
00:12:14,264 --> 00:12:14,804:
laughter,
1482
00:12:14,804 --> 00:12:15,134:
the
1483
00:12:15,134 --> 00:12:15,554:
steady
1484
00:12:15,554 --> 00:12:15,975:
warmth
1485
00:12:15,975 --> 00:12:16,125:
that
1486
00:12:16,125 --> 00:12:16,514:
reached
1487
00:12:16,514 --> 00:12:16,695:
him
1488
00:12:16,695 --> 00:12:16,995:
without
1489
00:12:16,995 --> 00:12:18,674:
asking.
1490
00:12:18,674 --> 00:12:18,735:
It
1491
00:12:18,735 --> 00:12:18,884:
was
1492
00:12:18,884 --> 00:12:19,004:
too
1493
00:12:19,004 --> 00:12:20,174:
much.
1494
00:12:20,174 --> 00:12:20,445:
He
1495
00:12:20,445 --> 00:12:20,894:
shouldn't
1496
00:12:20,894 --> 00:12:21,134:
hate
1497
00:12:21,134 --> 00:12:22,365:
it,
1498
00:12:22,365 --> 00:12:22,575:
but
1499
00:12:22,575 --> 00:12:22,664:
he
1500
00:12:22,664 --> 00:12:23,894:
did.
1501
00:12:23,894 --> 00:12:24,075:
The
1502
00:12:24,075 --> 00:12:24,615:
ease,
1503
00:12:24,615 --> 00:12:24,704:
the
1504
00:12:24,704 --> 00:12:25,335:
belonging.
1505
00:12:25,335 --> 00:12:25,784:
It
1506
00:12:25,784 --> 00:12:26,294:
pressed
1507
00:12:26,294 --> 00:12:26,684:
against
1508
00:12:26,684 --> 00:12:26,985:
him -
1509
00:12:26,985 --> 00:12:27,674:
sixteen
1510
00:12:27,674 --> 00:12:28,004:
again,
1511
00:12:28,004 --> 00:12:28,335:
behind
1512
00:12:28,335 --> 00:12:28,934:
silence,
1513
00:12:28,934 --> 00:12:29,294:
watching
1514
00:12:29,294 --> 00:12:29,595:
everyone
1515
00:12:29,595 --> 00:12:29,774:
else
1516
00:12:29,774 --> 00:12:30,164:
speak
1517
00:12:30,164 --> 00:12:30,615:
without
1518
00:12:30,615 --> 00:12:33,434:
trying.
Ehovan
1519
00:12:33,434 --> 00:12:33,735:
dried
1520
00:12:33,735 --> 00:12:33,794:
a
1521
00:12:33,794 --> 00:12:34,065:
mug
1522
00:12:34,065 --> 00:12:34,215:
with
1523
00:12:34,215 --> 00:12:34,424:
one
1524
00:12:34,424 --> 00:12:35,894:
hand. "Make
1525
00:12:35,894 --> 00:12:36,254:
yourself

00:12:36,254 --> 00:12:36,315:
at
1527
00:12:36,315 --> 00:12:36,495:
home,
1528
00:12:36,495 --> 00:12:37,514:
Yakul.
1529
00:12:37,514 --> 00:12:37,815:
Anything
1530
00:12:37,815 --> 00:12:37,904:
you'd
1531
00:12:37,904 --> 00:12:38,024:
like
1532
00:12:38,024 --> 00:12:38,115:
to
1533
00:12:38,115 --> 00:12:39,825:
drink?"
Yakul
1534
00:12:39,825 --> 00:12:41,235:
gestured,
1535
00:12:41,235 --> 00:12:43,634:
Aqua.
"Alright,"
1536
00:12:43,634 --> 00:12:43,965:
Ehovan
1537
00:12:43,965 --> 00:12:44,325:
said,
1538
00:12:44,325 --> 00:12:45,705:
nodding. "Just
1539
00:12:45,705 --> 00:12:45,794:
you

down.
1543
00:12:47,024 --> 00:12:47,364:
Bahamut
1544
00:12:47,364 --> 00:12:47,504:
should
1545
00:12:47,504 --> 00:12:47,625:
be

back...hopefully
1547
00:12:48,705 --> 00:12:50,595:
shortly."
Laika
1548
00:12:50,595 --> 00:12:53,054:
frowned. "Shortly?
1549
00:12:53,054 --> 00:12:53,264:
Where
1550
00:12:53,264 --> 00:12:53,416:
is
1551
00:12:53,416 --> 00:12:55,614:
he?"
"Out."
"But...
1552
00:12:55,614 --> 00:12:55,875:
we
1553
00:12:55,875 --> 00:12:56,205:
told

00:12:56,205 --> 00:12:56,294:
him
1555
00:12:56,294 --> 00:12:56,475:
we'd

00:12:56,475 --> 00:12:56,595:
be

Yakul's
1558
00:12:58,634 --> 00:12:58,904:
ears
1559
00:12:58,904 --> 00:12:59,205:

1560
00:12:59,205 --> 00:13:00,434:
back.
1561
00:13:00,434 --> 00:13:00,554:
He
1562
00:13:00,554 --> 00:13:00,794:
didn't
1563
00:13:00,794 --> 00:13:01,095:
bother
1564
00:13:01,095 --> 00:13:01,154:
to
1565
00:13:01,154 --> 00:13:01,424:
hide
1566
00:13:01,424 --> 00:13:01,544:
the

00:13:01,544 --> 00:13:01,875:
sigh
1568
00:13:01,875 --> 00:13:01,995:
that
1569
00:13:01,995 --> 00:13:04,455:
escaped. Of
1570
00:13:04,455 --> 00:13:04,904:
course
1571
00:13:04,904 --> 00:13:04,965:
he
1572
00:13:04,965 --> 00:13:05,174:
isn't
1573
00:13:05,174 --> 00:13:06,075:
here.
1574
00:13:06,075 --> 00:13:08,298:
Asshole.
Ehovan
1575
00:13:08,298 --> 00:13:08,504:
gave
1576
00:13:08,504 --> 00:13:08,534:
a

shrug,
1579
00:13:09,315 --> 00:13:09,434:
the
1580
00:13:09,434 --> 00:13:09,674:
kind
1581
00:13:09,674 --> 00:13:09,764:
that
1582
00:13:09,764 --> 00:13:10,125:
tried
1583
00:13:10,125 --> 00:13:10,184:
to
1584
00:13:10,184 --> 00:13:10,634:
defuse
1585
00:13:10,634 --> 00:13:10,815:
more
1586
00:13:10,815 --> 00:13:10,965:
than
1587
00:13:10,965 --> 00:13:12,554:
defend. "He'll

And
1591
00:13:13,634 --> 00:13:13,784:
he'll
1592
00:13:13,784 --> 00:13:14,445:
apologize
1593
00:13:14,445 --> 00:13:14,697:
for it,

00:13:14,697 --> 00:13:14,804:
you

00:13:14,804 --> 00:13:14,924:
have
1596
00:13:14,924 --> 00:13:15,044:
my
1597
00:13:15,044 --> 00:13:16,304:
word."
He
1598
00:13:16,304 --> 00:13:16,514:
moved
1599
00:13:16,514 --> 00:13:16,754:
back
1600
00:13:16,754 --> 00:13:16,845:

bar,
1603
00:13:17,355 --> 00:13:17,715:
murmured
1604
00:13:17,715 --> 00:13:17,803:
to
1605
00:13:17,803 --> 00:13:18,914:
Yukon.
1606
00:13:18,914 --> 00:13:19,485:
The ram poured
1607
00:13:19,485 --> 00:13:19,754:
clear

Ehovan
1618
00:13:23,174 --> 00:13:23,445:
carried
1619
00:13:23,445 --> 00:13:23,534:
it
1620
00:13:23,534 --> 00:13:23,985:
over,
1621
00:13:23,985 --> 00:13:24,404:
careful

00:13:27,585 --> 00:13:27,764:
long
1635
00:13:27,764 --> 00:13:29,745:
practice.
Laika
1636
00:13:29,745 --> 00:13:30,075:
slid
1637
00:13:30,075 --> 00:13:30,254:
into
1638
00:13:30,254 --> 00:13:30,764:
a chair,
1639
00:13:30,764 --> 00:13:31,154:
motioning
1640
00:13:31,154 --> 00:13:31,274:
for
1641
00:13:31,274 --> 00:13:32,955:
Yakul to join her.
1642
00:13:32,955 --> 00:13:33,434:
He sat in
1643
00:13:33,434 --> 00:13:33,495:
the
1644
00:13:33,495 --> 00:13:34,154:
middle,
1645
00:13:34,154 --> 00:13:34,424:
Laik
1646
00:13:34,424 --> 00:13:34,575:
on
1647
00:13:34,575 --> 00:13:34,695:
his
1648
00:13:34,695 --> 00:13:35,174:
right,
1649
00:13:35,174 --> 00:13:35,535:
Ehovan
1650
00:13:35,535 --> 00:13:35,684:
on
1651
00:13:35,684 --> 00:13:35,804:
his
1652
00:13:35,804 --> 00:13:36,764:
left.
1653
00:13:36,764 --> 00:13:36,824:
A
1654
00:13:36,824 --> 00:13:37,245:
circle
1655
00:13:37,245 --> 00:13:37,365:
of
1656
00:13:37,365 --> 00:13:37,754:
warmth
1657
00:13:37,754 --> 00:13:37,904:
that
1658
00:13:37,904 --> 00:13:38,115:
felt
1659
00:13:38,115 --> 00:13:38,414:
more
1660
00:13:38,414 --> 00:13:38,985:
like
1661
00:13:38,985 --> 00:13:39,795:
containment
1662
00:13:39,795 --> 00:13:39,945:
than
1663
00:13:39,945 --> 00:13:42,014:
comfort.
"So,"
1664
00:13:42,014 --> 00:13:42,315:
Ehovan
1665
00:13:42,315 --> 00:13:44,355:
said, leaning back, "how's
1666
00:13:44,355 --> 00:13:46,274:
things?"
Laika
1667
00:13:46,274 --> 00:13:46,516:
tried
1668
00:13:46,516 --> 00:13:46,605:
to
1669
00:13:46,605 --> 00:13:48,644:
laugh. "Great,
1670
00:13:48,644 --> 00:13:48,764:
I
1671
00:13:48,764 --> 00:13:50,835:
suppose. I
1672
00:13:50,835 --> 00:13:51,014:
should
1673
00:13:51,014 --> 00:13:51,105:
be
1674
00:13:51,105 --> 00:13:51,465:
starting
1675
00:13:51,465 --> 00:13:53,355:
my... ugh...
1676
00:13:53,355 --> 00:13:54,014:
stars,
1677
00:13:54,014 --> 00:13:54,105:
I
1678
00:13:54,105 --> 00:13:54,434:
don't
1679
00:13:54,434 --> 00:13:54,794:
even
1680
00:13:54,794 --> 00:13:55,065:
know
1681
00:13:55,065 --> 00:13:55,274:
what
1682
00:13:55,274 --> 00:13:55,424:
I'll
1683
00:13:55,424 --> 00:13:55,514:
be
1684
00:13:55,514 --> 00:13:57,014:
doing."
Ehovan
1685
00:13:57,014 --> 00:13:58,605:
smiled. "You're
1686
00:13:58,605 --> 00:13:58,875:
about
1687
00:13:58,875 --> 00:14:01,424:
to be a Starbearer, Laika. I think
1688
00:14:01,424 --> 00:14:01,485:
the
1689
00:14:01,485 --> 00:14:01,875:
stars
1690
00:14:01,875 --> 00:14:01,965:
will
1691
00:14:01,965 --> 00:14:02,115:
give
1692
00:14:02,115 --> 00:14:02,235:
you
1693
00:14:02,235 --> 00:14:02,294:
a
1694
00:14:02,294 --> 00:14:02,445:
hint
1695
00:14:02,445 --> 00:14:02,534:
or
1696
00:14:02,534 --> 00:14:03,884:
two."
She
1697
00:14:03,884 --> 00:14:05,235:
groaned. "I'd
1698
00:14:05,235 --> 00:14:05,654:
settle
1699
00:14:05,654 --> 00:14:05,865:
for
1700
00:14:05,865 --> 00:14:05,955:
a
1701
00:14:05,955 --> 00:14:07,394:
nap."
Their
1702
00:14:07,394 --> 00:14:07,725:
words
1703
00:14:07,725 --> 00:14:07,995:
fell
1704
00:14:07,995 --> 00:14:08,294:
into
1705
00:14:08,294 --> 00:14:08,565:
easy
1706
00:14:08,565 --> 00:14:09,375:
rhythm.
1707
00:14:09,375 --> 00:14:10,245:
Constellations
1708
00:14:10,245 --> 00:14:10,365:
and
1709
00:14:10,365 --> 00:14:10,934:
callings,
1710
00:14:10,934 --> 00:14:11,355:
realms
1711
00:14:11,355 --> 00:14:11,445:
of
1712
00:14:11,445 --> 00:14:11,534:
the
1713
00:14:11,534 --> 00:14:12,014:
quiet
1714
00:14:12,014 --> 00:14:12,495:
cost
1715
00:14:12,495 --> 00:14:12,585:
of
1716
00:14:12,585 --> 00:14:13,154:
being
1717
00:14:13,154 --> 00:14:14,264:
chosen.
1718
00:14:14,264 --> 00:14:14,355:
They
1719
00:14:14,355 --> 00:14:14,654:
spoke
1720
00:14:14,654 --> 00:14:14,745:
of
1721
00:14:14,745 --> 00:14:14,804:
it
1722
00:14:14,804 --> 00:14:15,014:
like
1723
00:14:15,014 --> 00:14:15,585:
coworkers
1724
00:14:15,585 --> 00:14:16,065:
discussing
1725
00:14:16,065 --> 00:14:16,394:
weather,
1726
00:14:16,394 --> 00:14:16,514:
the
1727
00:14:16,514 --> 00:14:16,754:
kind
1728
00:14:16,754 --> 00:14:17,054:
of
1729
00:14:17,054 --> 00:14:17,445:
myth
1730
00:14:17,445 --> 00:14:17,534:
that
1731
00:14:17,534 --> 00:14:17,745:
only
1732
00:14:17,745 --> 00:14:18,195:
sounds
1733
00:14:18,195 --> 00:14:18,705:
casual when
1734
00:14:18,705 --> 00:14:18,825:
you
1735
00:14:18,825 --> 00:14:19,095:
live
1736
00:14:19,095 --> 00:14:19,514:
inside
1737
00:14:19,514 --> 00:14:21,530:
it.
Yakul
1738
00:14:21,530 --> 00:14:22,004:
listened
1739
00:14:22,004 --> 00:14:22,125:
but
1740
00:14:22,125 --> 00:14:23,595:
didn't join.
1741
00:14:23,595 --> 00:14:23,745:
His
1742
00:14:23,745 --> 00:14:24,044:
hands
1743
00:14:24,044 --> 00:14:24,284:
wrapped
1744
00:14:24,284 --> 00:14:24,524:
tight
1745
00:14:24,524 --> 00:14:24,764:
around
1746
00:14:24,764 --> 00:14:24,855:
the
1747
00:14:24,855 --> 00:14:25,365:
glass,
1748
00:14:25,365 --> 00:14:26,085:
condensation
1749
00:14:26,085 --> 00:14:26,475:
slicking
1750
00:14:26,475 --> 00:14:26,595:
his
1751
00:14:26,595 --> 00:14:28,154:
fur.
1752
00:14:28,154 --> 00:14:28,365:
Every
1753
00:14:28,365 --> 00:14:28,725:
laugh
1754
00:14:28,725 --> 00:14:28,904:
from
1755
00:14:28,904 --> 00:14:29,534:
them
1756
00:14:29,534 --> 00:14:29,745:
made
1757
00:14:29,745 --> 00:14:29,789:
his
1758
00:14:29,789 --> 00:14:30,434:
silence
1759
00:14:30,434 --> 00:14:30,825:
feel
1760
00:14:30,825 --> 00:14:32,804:
louder.
He
1761
00:14:32,804 --> 00:14:33,134:
wanted
1762
00:14:33,134 --> 00:14:33,225:
to
1763
00:14:33,225 --> 00:14:34,335:
speak.
1764
00:14:34,335 --> 00:14:34,455:
To
1765
00:14:34,455 --> 00:14:34,664:
tell
1766
00:14:34,664 --> 00:14:34,754:
them
1767
00:14:34,754 --> 00:14:34,845:
he
1768
00:14:34,845 --> 00:14:35,024:
was
1769
00:14:35,024 --> 00:14:36,945:
proud.
1770
00:14:36,945 --> 00:14:37,095:
To
1771
00:14:37,095 --> 00:14:37,304:
tell
1772
00:14:37,304 --> 00:14:37,394:
them
1773
00:14:37,394 --> 00:14:37,485:
he
1774
00:14:37,485 --> 00:14:37,605:
was
1775
00:14:37,605 --> 00:14:39,615:
afraid.
1776
00:14:39,615 --> 00:14:39,767:
But
1777
00:14:39,767 --> 00:14:39,852:
his
1778
00:14:39,852 --> 00:14:40,154:
throat
1779
00:14:40,154 --> 00:14:40,335:
only
1780
00:14:40,335 --> 00:14:40,544:
knew
1781
00:14:40,544 --> 00:14:40,695:
the
1782
00:14:40,695 --> 00:14:40,965:
echo
1783
00:14:40,965 --> 00:14:41,144:
of
1784
00:14:41,144 --> 00:14:42,225:
pain.
1785
00:14:42,225 --> 00:14:42,315:
The
1786
00:14:42,315 --> 00:14:42,735:
memory
1787
00:14:42,735 --> 00:14:43,365:
of
1788
00:14:43,365 --> 00:14:43,815:
boiling
1789
00:14:43,815 --> 00:14:44,235:
water
1790
00:14:44,235 --> 00:14:44,565:
poured
1791
00:14:44,565 --> 00:14:44,924:
down
1792
00:14:44,924 --> 00:14:45,044:
when
1793
00:14:45,044 --> 00:14:45,134:
he
1794
00:14:45,134 --> 00:14:45,315:
was
1795
00:14:45,315 --> 00:14:45,914:
eight,
1796
00:14:45,914 --> 00:14:46,034:
the
1797
00:14:46,034 --> 00:14:46,394:
heat that
1798
00:14:46,394 --> 00:14:46,815:
stole
1799
00:14:46,815 --> 00:14:46,965:
his
1800
00:14:46,965 --> 00:14:47,355:
voice
1801
00:14:47,355 --> 00:14:47,445:
and
1802
00:14:47,445 --> 00:14:47,684:
left
1803
00:14:47,684 --> 00:14:47,745:
a
1804
00:14:47,745 --> 00:14:48,225:
whispering
1805
00:14:48,225 --> 00:14:48,644:
scar
1806
00:14:48,644 --> 00:14:49,125:
inside
1807
00:14:49,125 --> 00:14:50,844:
him.
He
1808
00:14:50,844 --> 00:14:51,945:
swallowed,
1809
00:14:51,945 --> 00:14:52,065:
the
1810
00:14:52,065 --> 00:14:52,424:
motion
1811
00:14:52,424 --> 00:14:54,134:
sharp.
1812
00:14:54,134 --> 00:14:54,254:
The
1813
00:14:54,254 --> 00:14:54,465:
heat
1814
00:14:54,465 --> 00:14:54,644:
was
1815
00:14:54,644 --> 00:14:54,914:
long
1816
00:14:54,914 --> 00:14:55,304:
gone,
1817
00:14:55,304 --> 00:14:55,455:
but
1818
00:14:55,455 --> 00:14:55,575:
the
1819
00:14:55,575 --> 00:14:55,875:
ache
1820
00:14:55,875 --> 00:14:58,725:
remembered.
He
1821
00:14:58,725 --> 00:14:58,995:
stared
1822
00:14:58,995 --> 00:14:59,115:
into
1823
00:14:59,115 --> 00:14:59,205:
the
1824
00:14:59,205 --> 00:14:59,595:
glass
1825
00:14:59,595 --> 00:14:59,774:
until
1826
00:14:59,774 --> 00:14:59,865:
the
1827
00:14:59,865 --> 00:15:00,195:
water
1828
00:15:00,195 --> 00:15:00,794:
blurred,
1829
00:15:00,794 --> 00:15:00,975:
until it
1830
00:15:00,975 --> 00:15:01,304:
looked
1831
00:15:01,304 --> 00:15:01,455:
like
1832
00:15:01,455 --> 00:15:01,514:
a
1833
00:15:01,514 --> 00:15:02,174:
reflection
1834
00:15:02,174 --> 00:15:02,264:
of
1835
00:15:02,264 --> 00:15:02,654:
everything
1836
00:15:02,654 --> 00:15:02,745:
he
1837
00:15:02,745 --> 00:15:03,105:
couldn't
1838
00:15:03,105 --> 00:15:04,514:
say.
Then
1839
00:15:04,514 --> 00:15:04,575:
he
1840
00:15:04,575 --> 00:15:06,735:
stood.
Yakul's
1841
00:15:06,735 --> 00:15:06,974:
hands
1842
00:15:06,974 --> 00:15:07,274:
moved
1843
00:15:07,274 --> 00:15:07,634:
again,
1844
00:15:07,634 --> 00:15:08,115:
slower
1845
00:15:08,115 --> 00:15:08,294:
this
1846
00:15:08,294 --> 00:15:10,634:
time.
1847
00:15:10,634 --> 00:15:11,955:
Sorry.
1848
00:15:11,955 --> 00:15:12,134:
This
1849
00:15:12,134 --> 00:15:12,345:
isn't
1850
00:15:12,345 --> 00:15:12,524:
going
1851
00:15:12,524 --> 00:15:12,615:
to
1852
00:15:12,615 --> 00:15:12,914:
work
1853
00:15:12,914 --> 00:15:14,954:
out.
"What?" Laika
1854
00:15:14,954 --> 00:15:16,605:
blinked.
He
1855
00:15:16,605 --> 00:15:16,845:
kept
1856
00:15:16,845 --> 00:15:16,934:
his
1857
00:15:16,934 --> 00:15:17,174:
eyes
1858
00:15:17,174 --> 00:15:17,264:
on
1859
00:15:17,264 --> 00:15:17,325:
the
1860
00:15:17,325 --> 00:15:19,784:
floorboards.
1861
00:15:19,784 --> 00:15:20,205:
Look.
1862
00:15:20,205 --> 00:15:20,384:
I'm
1863
00:15:20,384 --> 00:15:20,625:
not
1864
00:15:20,625 --> 00:15:20,684:
in
1865
00:15:20,684 --> 00:15:20,774:
the
1866
00:15:20,774 --> 00:15:21,014:
best
1867
00:15:21,014 --> 00:15:21,225:
mood,
1868
00:15:21,225 --> 00:15:22,125:
okay?
1869
00:15:22,125 --> 00:15:22,335:
This
1870
00:15:22,335 --> 00:15:22,544:
isn't
1871
00:15:22,544 --> 00:15:22,695:
going
1872
00:15:22,695 --> 00:15:22,754:
to
1873
00:15:22,754 --> 00:15:23,024:
work
1874
00:15:23,024 --> 00:15:23,384:
out.
1875
00:15:23,384 --> 00:15:23,774:
Especially
1876
00:15:23,774 --> 00:15:24,044:
since
1877
00:15:24,044 --> 00:15:24,914:
your 'boss'
1878
00:15:24,914 --> 00:15:25,065:
can't
1879
00:15:25,065 --> 00:15:25,245:
even
1880
00:15:25,245 --> 00:15:25,485:
bother
1881
00:15:25,485 --> 00:15:25,544:
to
1882
00:15:25,544 --> 00:15:25,784:
show
1883
00:15:25,784 --> 00:15:25,934:
up
1884
00:15:25,934 --> 00:15:26,085:
on
1885
00:15:26,085 --> 00:15:27,735:
time.
He
1886
00:15:27,735 --> 00:15:28,034:
turned
1887
00:15:28,034 --> 00:15:28,304:
toward
1888
00:15:28,304 --> 00:15:28,394:
the
1889
00:15:28,394 --> 00:15:29,985:
door.
"Yakul, wait."
1890
00:15:29,985 --> 00:15:30,313:
Laika
1891
00:15:30,313 --> 00:15:30,585:
stepped
1892
00:15:30,585 --> 00:15:30,884:
after
1893
00:15:30,884 --> 00:15:33,284:
him. "Please."
He
1894
00:15:33,284 --> 00:15:33,914:
stopped
1895
00:15:33,914 --> 00:15:34,095:
but
1896
00:15:34,095 --> 00:15:34,365:
didn't
1897
00:15:34,365 --> 00:15:35,654:
turn.
1898
00:15:35,654 --> 00:15:35,774:
His
1899
00:15:35,774 --> 00:15:36,164:
shoulders
1900
00:15:36,164 --> 00:15:36,557:
trembled
1901
00:15:36,557 --> 00:15:37,065:
once,
1902
00:15:37,065 --> 00:15:37,184:
then
1903
00:15:37,184 --> 00:15:39,225:
stilled.
1904
00:15:39,225 --> 00:15:39,375:
Then
1905
00:15:39,375 --> 00:15:39,705:
lifted
1906
00:15:39,705 --> 00:15:39,735:
a
1907
00:15:39,735 --> 00:15:42,615:
hand.
Laika...
1908
00:15:42,615 --> 00:15:42,794:
all
1909
00:15:42,794 --> 00:15:42,945:
this
1910
00:15:42,945 --> 00:15:43,184:
time
1911
00:15:43,184 --> 00:15:43,245:
I
1912
00:15:43,245 --> 00:15:43,485:
thought
1913
00:15:43,485 --> 00:15:43,575:
we
1914
00:15:43,575 --> 00:15:43,695:
were
1915
00:15:43,695 --> 00:15:43,754:
a
1916
00:15:43,754 --> 00:15:44,565:
family.
"We
1917
00:15:44,565 --> 00:15:45,014:
are,"
1918
00:15:45,014 --> 00:15:45,225:
she
1919
00:15:45,225 --> 00:15:45,465:
said
1920
00:15:45,465 --> 00:15:45,615:
too
1921
00:15:45,615 --> 00:15:46,754:
quickly.
He
1922
00:15:46,754 --> 00:15:47,144:
faced
1923
00:15:47,144 --> 00:15:47,235:
her
1924
00:15:47,235 --> 00:15:48,615:
then.
1925
00:15:48,615 --> 00:15:48,764:
His
1926
00:15:48,764 --> 00:15:49,034:
eyes
1927
00:15:49,034 --> 00:15:49,125:
were
1928
00:15:49,125 --> 00:15:49,485:
wet
1929
00:15:49,485 --> 00:15:49,634:
but
1930
00:15:49,634 --> 00:15:51,735:
steady.
1931
00:15:51,735 --> 00:15:53,144:
No.
1932
00:15:53,144 --> 00:15:55,215:
We're not.
1933
00:15:55,215 --> 00:15:55,634:
I'm being
1934
00:15:55,634 --> 00:15:55,965:
treated
1935
00:15:55,965 --> 00:15:56,174:
like a
1936
00:15:56,174 --> 00:15:57,825:
stray.
"But you're..."
I
1937
00:15:57,825 --> 00:15:58,095:
am
1938
00:15:58,095 --> 00:16:01,544:
a stray!
The
1939
00:16:01,544 --> 00:16:01,965:
signs
1940
00:16:01,965 --> 00:16:02,144:
hit
1941
00:16:02,144 --> 00:16:02,294:
the
1942
00:16:02,294 --> 00:16:02,774:
air hard
1943
00:16:02,774 --> 00:16:03,044:
enough
1944
00:16:03,044 --> 00:16:03,164:
that
1945
00:16:03,164 --> 00:16:03,434:
everyone
1946
00:16:03,434 --> 00:16:03,524:
in
1947
00:16:03,524 --> 00:16:03,615:
the
1948
00:16:03,615 --> 00:16:03,975:
tavern
1949
00:16:03,975 --> 00:16:04,125:
went
1950
00:16:04,125 --> 00:16:10,875:
still. Even Yukon stopped mid-breath behind the bar.
You have it so damn easy! Yakul's
1951
00:16:10,875 --> 00:16:11,325:
gestures
1952
00:16:11,325 --> 00:16:11,924:
sharpened,
1953
00:16:11,924 --> 00:16:12,434:
trembling
1954
00:16:12,434 --> 00:16:13,575:
now. You
1955
00:16:13,575 --> 00:16:13,725:
have
1956
00:16:13,725 --> 00:16:13,815:
your
1957
00:16:13,815 --> 00:16:13,995:
own
1958
00:16:13,995 --> 00:16:14,865:
realm.
1959
00:16:14,865 --> 00:16:14,987:
You're
1960
00:16:14,987 --> 00:16:15,284:
turning
1961
00:16:15,284 --> 00:16:15,404:
into
1962
00:16:15,404 --> 00:16:15,735:
some
1963
00:16:15,735 --> 00:16:16,034:
sort
1964
00:16:16,034 --> 00:16:16,215:
of
1965
00:16:16,215 --> 00:16:17,264:
deity. I...
1966
00:16:17,264 --> 00:16:17,355:
He
1967
00:16:17,355 --> 00:16:18,164:
faltered,
1968
00:16:18,164 --> 00:16:18,284:
then
1969
00:16:18,284 --> 00:16:20,205:
steadied.
1970
00:16:20,205 --> 00:16:20,504:
Just
1971
00:16:20,504 --> 00:16:20,654:
do
1972
00:16:20,654 --> 00:16:20,804:
me
1973
00:16:20,804 --> 00:16:20,985:
one
1974
00:16:20,985 --> 00:16:23,141:
favor.
He
1975
00:16:23,141 --> 00:16:23,475:
lifted
1976
00:16:23,475 --> 00:16:23,684:
one
1977
00:16:23,684 --> 00:16:24,044:
hand,
1978
00:16:24,044 --> 00:16:24,345:
palm
1979
00:16:24,345 --> 00:16:25,215:
out,
1980
00:16:25,215 --> 00:16:25,303:
the
1981
00:16:25,303 --> 00:16:25,725:
gesture
1982
00:16:25,725 --> 00:16:26,445:
small
1983
00:16:26,445 --> 00:16:26,595:
but
1984
00:16:26,595 --> 00:16:28,034:
shaking.
Tell
1985
00:16:28,034 --> 00:16:28,125:
the
1986
00:16:28,125 --> 00:16:28,485:
stars
1987
00:16:28,485 --> 00:16:28,575:
to
1988
00:16:28,575 --> 00:16:28,845:
stop
1989
00:16:28,845 --> 00:16:29,174:
taking
1990
00:16:29,174 --> 00:16:29,325:
what
1991
00:16:29,325 --> 00:16:29,414:
I
1992
00:16:29,414 --> 00:16:29,625:
love
1993
00:16:29,625 --> 00:16:29,865:
away
1994
00:16:29,865 --> 00:16:30,075:
from
1995
00:16:30,075 --> 00:16:32,504:
me.
The
1996
00:16:32,504 --> 00:16:32,804:
words
1997
00:16:32,804 --> 00:16:33,134:
hung
1998
00:16:33,134 --> 00:16:33,524:
there,
1999
00:16:33,524 --> 00:16:34,544:
seen
2000
00:16:34,544 --> 00:16:34,815:
not
2001
00:16:34,815 --> 00:16:36,225:
heard.
He
2002
00:16:36,225 --> 00:16:36,495:
pushed
2003
00:16:36,495 --> 00:16:36,644:
through
2004
00:16:36,644 --> 00:16:36,735:
the
2005
00:16:36,735 --> 00:16:36,975:
door
2006
00:16:36,975 --> 00:16:37,274:
before
2007
00:16:37,274 --> 00:16:37,605:
anyone
2008
00:16:37,605 --> 00:16:37,754:
could
2009
00:16:37,754 --> 00:16:39,794:
answer.
The
2010
00:16:39,794 --> 00:16:40,095:
Blue
2011
00:16:40,095 --> 00:16:40,485:
Rose
2012
00:16:40,485 --> 00:16:40,695:
fell
2013
00:16:40,695 --> 00:16:41,985:
quiet,
2014
00:16:41,985 --> 00:16:42,284:
fire
2015
00:16:42,284 --> 00:16:42,945:
crackling
2016
00:16:42,945 --> 00:16:43,065:
where
2017
00:16:43,065 --> 00:16:43,455:
laughter
2018
00:16:43,455 --> 00:16:43,695:
used
2019
00:16:43,695 --> 00:16:43,784:
to
2020
00:16:43,784 --> 00:16:46,234:
be.
Laika
2021
00:16:46,234 --> 00:16:46,485:
stood
2022
00:16:46,485 --> 00:16:47,684:
frozen,
2023
00:16:47,684 --> 00:16:47,834:
then
2024
00:16:47,834 --> 00:16:48,134:
lowered
2025
00:16:48,134 --> 00:16:48,225:
her
2026
00:16:48,225 --> 00:16:50,054:
head.
2027
00:16:50,054 --> 00:16:50,174:
Her
2028
00:16:50,174 --> 00:16:50,534:
voice
2029
00:16:50,534 --> 00:16:50,745:
came
2030
00:16:50,745 --> 00:16:50,894:
out
2031
00:16:50,894 --> 00:16:55,424:
small. "Yakul... I'm
2032
00:16:55,424 --> 00:16:55,605:
so
2033
00:16:55,605 --> 00:17:04,035:
sorry."
The rain stopped as

Gasps.

Then

2108
00:17:39,525 --> 00:17:40,125:
His hands stayed

00:18:16,558 --> 00:18:16,755:
when
2174
00:18:16,755 --> 00:18:16,875:
they

00:18:16,875 --> 00:18:17,025:

2182
00:18:21,944 --> 00:18:22,153:

longer pretending

00:18:24,884 --> 00:18:25,035:
it meant
2188
00:18:25,035 --> 00:18:28,815:
something.
That

00:18:28,815 --> 00:18:28,904:

00:18:28,904 --> 00:18:29,085:

2195
00:18:30,884 --> 00:18:31,125:
Because
2196
00:18:31,125 --> 00:18:31,214:
it
2197
00:18:31,214 --> 00:18:31,634:

2231
00:18:44,505 --> 00:18:44,865:
Pretty

2235
00:18:47,865 --> 00:18:48,015:
He'd
2236
00:18:48,015 --> 00:18:48,525:
smiled
2237
00:18:48,525 --> 00:18:48,765:
through
2238
00:18:48,765 --> 00:18:49,634:
it,
2239
00:18:49,634 --> 00:18:49,785:
because
2240
00:18:49,785 --> 00:18:49,994:
that's
2241
00:18:49,994 --> 00:18:50,085:
what
2242
00:18:50,085 --> 00:18:50,234:
you
2243
00:18:50,234 --> 00:18:51,555:
do
2244
00:18:51,555 --> 00:18:51,765:
when
2245
00:18:51,765 --> 00:18:52,154:
love
2246
00:18:52,154 --> 00:18:52,545:
asks
2247
00:18:52,545 --> 00:18:52,664:
you
2248
00:18:52,664 --> 00:18:52,755:
to
2249
00:18:52,755 --> 00:18:53,085:
stay
2250
00:18:53,085 --> 00:18:55,755:
small.
He'd
2251
00:18:55,755 --> 00:18:56,055:
loved
2252
00:18:56,055 --> 00:18:57,914:
Taranis.
2253
00:18:57,914 --> 00:18:58,125:
That
2254
00:18:58,125 --> 00:18:58,305:
made
2255
00:18:58,305 --> 00:18:58,394:
it
2256
00:18:58,394 --> 00:19:01,035:
worse.
He didn't
2257
00:19:01,035 --> 00:19:01,244:
want
2258
00:19:01,244 --> 00:19:01,305:
to
2259
00:19:01,305 --> 00:19:01,515:
think
2260
00:19:01,515 --> 00:19:02,414:
about him.
2261
00:19:02,414 --> 00:19:02,625:
Didn't
2262
00:19:02,625 --> 00:19:02,744:
want
2263
00:19:02,744 --> 00:19:02,805:
to
2264
00:19:02,805 --> 00:19:02,954:
think
2265
00:19:02,954 --> 00:19:03,464:
about
2266
00:19:03,464 --> 00:19:04,125:
anyone
2267
00:19:04,125 --> 00:19:04,305:
he'd
2268
00:19:04,305 --> 00:19:04,484:
ever
2269
00:19:04,484 --> 00:19:07,125:
loved.
Especially
2270
00:19:07,125 --> 00:19:10,394:
Walker.
The
2271
00:19:10,394 --> 00:19:10,815:
name
2272
00:19:10,815 --> 00:19:11,474:
alone
2273
00:19:11,474 --> 00:19:11,865:
hollowed
2274
00:19:11,865 --> 00:19:11,984:
him
2275
00:19:11,984 --> 00:19:13,424:
out.
2276
00:19:13,424 --> 00:19:13,605:
His
2277
00:19:13,605 --> 00:19:13,875:
breath
2278
00:19:13,875 --> 00:19:14,265:
caught,
2279
00:19:14,265 --> 00:19:14,595:
chest
2280
00:19:14,595 --> 00:19:15,555:
tight,
2281
00:19:15,555 --> 00:19:15,825:
eyes
2282
00:19:15,825 --> 00:19:16,305:
burning
2283
00:19:16,305 --> 00:19:16,455:
through
2284
00:19:16,455 --> 00:19:16,634:
no
2285
00:19:16,634 --> 00:19:17,055:
tears
2286
00:19:17,055 --> 00:19:19,125:
came.
2287
00:19:19,125 --> 00:19:19,244:
He
2288
00:19:19,244 --> 00:19:19,575:
tilted
2289
00:19:19,575 --> 00:19:19,694:
his
2290
00:19:19,694 --> 00:19:19,994:
face
2291
00:19:19,994 --> 00:19:20,265:
toward
2292
00:19:20,265 --> 00:19:20,325:
the
2293
00:19:20,325 --> 00:19:20,924:
sky,
2294
00:19:20,924 --> 00:19:21,105:
drew
2295
00:19:21,105 --> 00:19:21,194:
a
2296
00:19:21,194 --> 00:19:22,005:
deep,
2297
00:19:22,005 --> 00:19:22,515:
shaking
2298
00:19:22,515 --> 00:19:24,585:
breath.
And
2299
00:19:24,585 --> 00:19:24,884:
after
2300
00:19:24,884 --> 00:19:25,275:
all
2301
00:19:25,275 --> 00:19:25,605:
this
2302
00:19:25,605 --> 00:19:26,204:
time,
2303
00:19:26,204 --> 00:19:26,384:
ever
2304
00:19:26,384 --> 00:19:26,684:
since
2305
00:19:26,684 --> 00:19:26,775:
he
2306
00:19:26,775 --> 00:19:26,924:
was
2307
00:19:26,924 --> 00:19:27,585:
sixteen,
2308
00:19:27,585 --> 00:19:27,765:
ever
2309
00:19:27,765 --> 00:19:28,035:
since
2310
00:19:28,035 --> 00:19:28,125:
the
2311
00:19:28,125 --> 00:19:28,607:
stars
2312
00:19:28,607 --> 00:19:28,724:
had
2313
00:19:28,724 --> 00:19:28,994:
given
2314
00:19:28,994 --> 00:19:29,085:
him
2315
00:19:29,085 --> 00:19:29,654:
Sol, his
2316
00:19:29,654 --> 00:19:30,075:
cosmic
2317
00:19:30,075 --> 00:19:30,914:
weapon,
2318
00:19:30,914 --> 00:19:31,060:
he
2319
00:19:31,060 --> 00:19:31,275:
still
2320
00:19:31,275 --> 00:19:31,545:
asked
2321
00:19:31,545 --> 00:19:33,045:
himself:
Why
2322
00:19:33,045 --> 00:19:33,223:
in
2323
00:19:33,223 --> 00:19:33,345:
the
2324
00:19:33,345 --> 00:19:34,005:
hell
2325
00:19:34,005 --> 00:19:34,121:
did
2326
00:19:34,121 --> 00:19:34,244:
the
2327
00:19:34,244 --> 00:19:34,785:
cosmos
2328
00:19:34,785 --> 00:19:35,115:
choose
2329
00:19:35,115 --> 00:19:36,075:
me
2330
00:19:36,075 --> 00:19:36,194:
to
2331
00:19:36,194 --> 00:19:36,285:
be
2332
00:19:36,285 --> 00:19:36,375:
the
2333
00:19:36,375 --> 00:19:37,184:
Constellation
2334
00:19:37,184 --> 00:19:37,275:
of
2335
00:19:37,275 --> 00:19:39,375:
Dochas...
2336
00:19:39,375 --> 00:19:42,855:
Hope?
When he
2337
00:19:42,855 --> 00:19:43,184:
lowered
2338
00:19:43,184 --> 00:19:43,305:
his
2339
00:19:43,305 --> 00:19:43,575:
gaze
2340
00:19:43,575 --> 00:19:43,934:
again,
2341
00:19:43,934 --> 00:19:44,055:
the
2342
00:19:44,055 --> 00:19:44,355:
world
2343
00:19:44,355 --> 00:19:44,444:
had
2344
00:19:44,444 --> 00:19:44,654:
gone
2345
00:19:44,654 --> 00:19:47,174:
still.
Across
2346
00:19:47,174 --> 00:19:47,265:
the
2347
00:19:47,265 --> 00:19:48,015:
street,
2348
00:19:48,015 --> 00:19:48,765:
through the mist and
2349
00:19:48,765 --> 00:19:50,505:
thunderlight, he
2350
00:19:50,505 --> 00:19:50,836:
saw
2351
00:19:50,836 --> 00:19:52,454:
it.
2352
00:19:52,454 --> 00:19:52,545:
The
2353
00:19:52,545 --> 00:19:55,125:
graveyard.
It
2354
00:19:55,125 --> 00:19:56,085:
was...
2355
00:19:56,085 --> 00:19:58,065:
strange.
2356
00:19:58,065 --> 00:19:58,154:
He
2357
00:19:58,154 --> 00:19:58,454:
wasn't
2358
00:19:58,454 --> 00:19:58,904:
familiar
2359
00:19:58,904 --> 00:19:59,085:
with
2360
00:19:59,085 --> 00:19:59,954:
it.
2361
00:19:59,954 --> 00:20:00,075:
He
2362
00:20:00,075 --> 00:20:00,164:
was
2363
00:20:00,164 --> 00:20:00,404:
used
2364
00:20:00,404 --> 00:20:00,464:
to
2365
00:20:00,464 --> 00:20:00,734:
seeing
2366
00:20:00,734 --> 00:20:01,125:
small
2367
00:20:01,125 --> 00:20:01,724:
tombs,
2368
00:20:01,724 --> 00:20:02,085:
carved
2369
00:20:02,085 --> 00:20:02,595:
names,
2370
00:20:02,595 --> 00:20:02,684:
and
2371
00:20:02,684 --> 00:20:02,924:
cold
2372
00:20:02,924 --> 00:20:04,454:
marble.
2373
00:20:04,454 --> 00:20:04,575:
But
2374
00:20:04,575 --> 00:20:04,875:
here,
2375
00:20:04,875 --> 00:20:04,934:
it
2376
00:20:04,934 --> 00:20:05,325:
was
2377
00:20:05,325 --> 00:20:05,865:
ashes
2378
00:20:05,865 --> 00:20:05,984:
and
2379
00:20:05,984 --> 00:20:07,454:
flowers.
2380
00:20:07,454 --> 00:20:07,875:
Rows
2381
00:20:07,875 --> 00:20:07,994:

2382
00:20:07,994 --> 00:20:08,265:

2383
00:20:08,265 --> 00:20:08,744:
stone
2384
00:20:08,744 --> 00:20:09,164:
beds
2385
00:20:09,164 --> 00:20:09,644:
blooming
2386
00:20:09,644 --> 00:20:09,765:
through
2387
00:20:09,765 --> 00:20:09,855:
the
2388
00:20:09,855 --> 00:20:12,154:
mist.
He
2389
00:20:12,154 --> 00:20:12,363:
stepped
2390
00:20:12,363 --> 00:20:13,984:
closer,
2391
00:20:13,984 --> 00:20:15,994:
unsure.
2392
00:20:15,994 --> 00:20:16,295:
Each
2393
00:20:16,295 --> 00:20:16,595:
plot
2394
00:20:16,595 --> 00:20:16,744:
was
2395
00:20:16,744 --> 00:20:17,075:
marked
2396
00:20:17,075 --> 00:20:17,224:
by
2397
00:20:17,224 --> 00:20:17,285:
a
2398
00:20:17,285 --> 00:20:17,644:
single
2399
00:20:17,644 --> 00:20:18,184:
lantern
2400
00:20:18,184 --> 00:20:18,300:
and
2401
00:20:18,300 --> 00:20:18,394:
the
2402
00:20:18,394 --> 00:20:18,724:
faint
2403
00:20:18,724 --> 00:20:18,964:
scent
2404
00:20:18,964 --> 00:20:19,055:
of
2405
00:20:19,055 --> 00:20:19,775:
ash-thyme in
2406
00:20:19,775 --> 00:20:19,835:
the
2407
00:20:19,835 --> 00:20:21,244:
rain.
2408
00:20:21,244 --> 00:20:21,365:
It
2409
00:20:21,365 --> 00:20:21,545:
didn't
2410
00:20:21,545 --> 00:20:21,904:
smell
2411
00:20:21,904 --> 00:20:22,115:
like
2412
00:20:22,115 --> 00:20:22,565:
death.
2413
00:20:22,565 --> 00:20:23,105:
It
2414
00:20:23,105 --> 00:20:23,644:
smelled
2415
00:20:23,644 --> 00:20:23,884:
like
2416
00:20:23,884 --> 00:20:24,065:
the
2417
00:20:24,065 --> 00:20:24,305:
air
2418
00:20:24,305 --> 00:20:24,575:
after
2419
00:20:24,575 --> 00:20:24,634:
a
2420
00:20:24,634 --> 00:20:26,315:
fire.
2421
00:20:26,315 --> 00:20:27,664:
Clean,
2422
00:20:27,664 --> 00:20:29,644:
quiet,
2423
00:20:29,644 --> 00:20:32,439:
final.
A
2424
00:20:32,439 --> 00:20:32,765:
purple
2425
00:20:32,765 --> 00:20:33,067:
scaled
2426
00:20:33,067 --> 00:20:33,724:
Draconian
2427
00:20:33,724 --> 00:20:34,025:
passed
2428
00:20:34,025 --> 00:20:34,265:

2429
00:20:34,265 --> 00:20:34,414:
on
2430
00:20:34,414 --> 00:20:34,505:
the

He

And

Yakul...

00:26:27,095 --> 00:26:27,484:

almost

"Don't

he
3119
00:26:33,964 --> 00:26:35,285:

Yakul
3128
00:26:38,434 --> 00:26:41,075:
risked a glance.
3129
00:26:41,075 --> 00:26:41,315:
So
3130
00:26:41,315 --> 00:26:41,525:

that."
He
3135
00:26:45,842 --> 00:26:46,234:
followed
3136
00:26:46,234 --> 00:26:46,325:

The air
3152
00:26:54,664 --> 00:26:56,494:
tightened.
3153

Yakul

slightly,

Then

3166

He
3173
00:27:11,525 --> 00:27:13,183:
stopped. The

3175
00:27:13,474 --> 00:27:13,625:

quiet
3438
00:30:15,789 --> 00:30:20,440:
now. "He…
3439
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,059:
died…
3440
00:30:22,059 --> 00:30:22,359:
in my
3441

Yakul's
3442
00:30:25,585 --> 00:30:25,839:
next
3443
00:30:25,839 --> 00:30:26,077:
line
3444
00:30:26,077 --> 00:30:26,259:
came
3445
00:30:26,259 --> 00:30:28,420:
small.
3446
00:30:28,420 --> 00:30:28,569:
Did
3447
00:30:28,569 --> 00:30:28,750:
you
3448
00:30:28,750 --> 00:30:28,930:
not
3449
00:30:28,930 --> 00:30:29,109:
want
3450
00:30:29,109 --> 00:30:29,170:
to
3451
00:30:29,170 --> 00:30:29,349:
see
3452
00:30:29,349 --> 00:30:31,660:
me?
Bahamut
3453
00:30:31,660 --> 00:30:31,900:
rubbed
3454
00:30:31,900 --> 00:30:31,989:
at
3455
00:30:31,989 --> 00:30:32,109:
his
3456
00:30:32,109 --> 00:30:33,190:
face,
3457
00:30:33,190 --> 00:30:33,368:
then
3458
00:30:33,368 --> 00:30:33,700:
nodded
3459
00:30:33,700 --> 00:30:34,029:
without
3460
00:30:34,029 --> 00:30:36,730:
looking. "No.
3461
00:30:36,730 --> 00:30:36,910:
Not
3462
00:30:36,910 --> 00:30:39,577:
really."
Yakul
3463
00:30:39,577 --> 00:30:40,450:
shifted,
3464
00:30:40,450 --> 00:30:40,750:
meaning
3465
00:30:40,750 --> 00:30:40,869:
to
3466
00:30:40,869 --> 00:30:41,393:
leave,
3467
00:30:41,393 --> 00:30:41,890:
but Bahamut's
3468
00:30:41,890 --> 00:30:42,130:
hand
3469
00:30:42,130 --> 00:30:42,369:
caught
3470
00:30:42,369 --> 00:30:42,490:
his
3471
00:30:42,490 --> 00:30:44,410:
shoulder. "You're
3472
00:30:44,410 --> 00:30:44,619:
already
3473
00:30:44,619 --> 00:30:46,450:
here.
3474
00:30:46,450 --> 00:30:46,690:
Don't
3475
00:30:46,690 --> 00:30:46,900:
make
3476
00:30:46,900 --> 00:30:47,019:
me
3477
00:30:47,019 --> 00:30:47,140:
the
3478
00:30:47,140 --> 00:30:52,720:
one who runs."
Yakul stayed, eyes low.
3479
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:53,049:
You said
3480
00:30:53,049 --> 00:30:53,140:
you
3481
00:30:53,140 --> 00:30:53,319:
didn't
3482
00:30:53,319 --> 00:30:53,470:
want
3483
00:30:53,470 --> 00:30:53,529:
to
3484
00:30:53,529 --> 00:30:53,710:
see
3485
00:30:53,710 --> 00:30:55,329:
me.
Bahamut
3486
00:30:55,329 --> 00:30:58,839:
tapped his temple. "It's the eyes. That's
3487
00:30:58,839 --> 00:31:01,149:
all.
3488
00:31:01,149 --> 00:31:01,390:
Feels
3489
00:31:01,390 --> 00:31:01,539:

3491
00:31:01,809 --> 00:31:01,960:
into
3492
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:02,049:
a
3493
00:31:02,049 --> 00:31:04,660:
ghost's eyes."
If
3494
00:31:04,660 --> 00:31:04,869:
they
3495
00:31:04,869 --> 00:31:08,319:
bother you, I can-
"They don't.
3496
00:31:08,319 --> 00:31:08,470:
Not
3497
00:31:08,470 --> 00:31:10,779:

A
3498
00:31:10,779 --> 00:31:11,109:
drop
3499
00:31:11,109 --> 00:31:11,230:

3500
00:31:11,230 --> 00:31:11,529:
water
3501
00:31:11,529 --> 00:31:11,710:
hit
3502
00:31:11,710 --> 00:31:11,799:
the
3503
00:31:11,799 --> 00:31:13,569:

3504
00:31:13,569 --> 00:31:13,750:
Yakul
3505
00:31:13,750 --> 00:31:20,529:
wiped it away fast, but Bahamut had seen.
"Write," Bahamut said, gently.
Yakul
3506
00:31:20,529 --> 00:31:22,269:
did.
3507
00:31:22,269 --> 00:31:22,599:
His pen
3508
00:31:22,599 --> 00:31:23,019:
stuttered
3509
00:31:23,019 --> 00:31:23,140:
but
3510
00:31:23,140 --> 00:31:23,349:
kept
3511
00:31:23,349 --> 00:31:25,599:
moving:
3512
00:31:25,599 --> 00:31:26,109:
Everyone's
3513
00:31:26,109 --> 00:31:27,160:
leaving.
3514
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:27,309:
I
3515
00:31:27,309 --> 00:31:27,579:
keep
3516
00:31:27,579 --> 00:31:27,819:
getting
3517
00:31:27,819 --> 00:31:29,109:
left.
3518
00:31:29,109 --> 00:31:29,200:
I
3519
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:29,319:
was
3520

supposed

help,
3523
00:31:30,009 --> 00:31:30,130:
but
3524
00:31:30,130 --> 00:31:30,339:
now
3525
00:31:30,339 --> 00:31:30,519:
they're
3526
00:31:30,519 --> 00:31:30,880:
gone
3527
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:30,970:
and
3528
00:31:30,970 --> 00:31:31,029:
I
3529
00:31:31,029 --> 00:31:31,329:
can't
3530
00:31:31,329 --> 00:31:31,539:
go
3531
00:31:31,539 --> 00:31:32,109:
anywhere.
3532
00:31:32,109 --> 00:31:32,200:
I
3533
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:32,440:
don't

3537
00:31:33,161 --> 00:31:33,579:
and
3538
00:31:33,579 --> 00:31:33,759:
no
3539

asking
3541
00:31:34,420 --> 00:31:34,539:
me
3542
00:31:34,539 --> 00:31:34,630:
to
3543
00:31:34,630 --> 00:31:35,140:
stay.
3544
00:31:35,140 --> 00:31:35,289:
I'm

just...
He
3546
00:31:36,759 --> 00:31:38,859:
stopped.
Bahamut
3547
00:31:38,859 --> 00:31:39,039:
took
3548
00:31:39,039 --> 00:31:39,130:
the

notebook
3550
00:31:39,519 --> 00:31:40,359:
carefully,
3551
00:31:40,359 --> 00:31:40,569:
read
3552
00:31:40,569 --> 00:31:40,690:

3555
00:31:42,586 --> 00:31:42,789:
let
3556
00:31:42,789 --> 00:31:42,910:
out
3557
00:31:42,910 --> 00:31:42,970:

3560
00:31:44,019 --> 00:31:44,319:
Half

half

3565
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:50,410:
else.
"Yeah,"
3566
00:31:50,410 --> 00:31:50,500:
he
3567
00:31:50,500 --> 00:31:53,740:
said. "Looks
3568
00:31:53,740 --> 00:31:53,920:
like
3569
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:53,979:

both

wrecked."
Yakul
3572
00:31:56,259 --> 00:31:56,890:
blinked,
3573
00:31:56,890 --> 00:31:57,250:

3578

and
3579
00:31:59,500 --> 00:32:01,690:
nodded.
Bahamut
3580
00:32:01,690 --> 00:32:02,019:
leaned
3581
00:32:02,019 --> 00:32:02,319:
back
3582
00:32:02,319 --> 00:32:02,410:

his

hands,
3585
00:32:02,919 --> 00:32:03,400:
staring

up.
3587
00:32:04,660 --> 00:32:04,750:
The

cold
3597
00:32:07,630 --> 00:32:09,849:
air.
"You

00:32:10,660 --> 00:32:10,990:

3612
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:16,299:

3613
00:32:16,299 --> 00:32:16,569:

Yakul
3621
00:32:24,009 --> 00:32:24,640:
frowned,
3622
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:24,759:

00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:32,529:
and
3635
00:32:32,529 --> 00:32:32,890:
forget
3636
00:32:32,890 --> 00:32:32,950:
to
3637
00:32:32,950 --> 00:32:33,250:
warn
3638
00:32:33,250 --> 00:32:33,490:
about
3639
00:32:33,490 --> 00:32:33,579:
the
3640
00:32:33,579 --> 00:32:34,240:
burn.
3641
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:34,480:
That's
3642
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:34,630:
their
3643
00:32:34,630 --> 00:32:36,789:
trick."
Yakul
3644
00:32:36,789 --> 00:32:37,180:
glanced
3645
00:32:37,180 --> 00:32:37,269:
up
3646
00:32:37,269 --> 00:32:37,329:
at
3647
00:32:37,329 --> 00:32:37,420:
the
3648
00:32:37,420 --> 00:32:37,690:
sky
3649
00:32:37,690 --> 00:32:39,640:
again.
3650
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:40,000:
Bahamut
3651
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:40,269:
wasn't
3652
00:32:40,269 --> 00:32:42,339:
wrong.
3653
00:32:42,339 --> 00:32:42,549:
This
3654
00:32:42,549 --> 00:32:42,819:
man
3655
00:32:42,819 --> 00:32:43,089:
hadn't
3656
00:32:43,089 --> 00:32:43,329:
wanted
3657
00:32:43,329 --> 00:32:43,420:
to
3658
00:32:43,420 --> 00:32:43,660:
see
3659
00:32:43,660 --> 00:32:44,019:
him,
3660
00:32:44,019 --> 00:32:44,200:
but
3661
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:44,349:
now
3662
00:32:44,349 --> 00:32:44,500:
that
3663
00:32:44,500 --> 00:32:44,559:
he
3664
00:32:44,559 --> 00:32:45,609:
had,
3665
00:32:45,609 --> 00:32:45,759:
the
3666
00:32:45,759 --> 00:32:46,150:
distance
3667
00:32:46,150 --> 00:32:46,539:
between
3668
00:32:46,539 --> 00:32:46,690:
them
3669
00:32:46,690 --> 00:32:48,130:
felt...
3670
00:32:48,130 --> 00:32:48,339:
less
3671
00:32:48,339 --> 00:32:50,440:
cruel.
He
3672
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:50,650:
wrote
3673
00:32:50,650 --> 00:32:52,750:
quietly:
3674
00:32:52,750 --> 00:32:52,900:
You're
3675
00:32:52,900 --> 00:32:55,480:
right.
Bahamut's
3676
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:55,779:
grin
3677
00:32:55,779 --> 00:32:56,019:
tugged
3678
00:32:56,019 --> 00:32:56,259:
back
3679
00:32:56,259 --> 00:32:56,380:
in
3680
00:32:56,380 --> 00:32:59,203:
place. "Ha.
3681
00:32:59,203 --> 00:32:59,440:
Doesn't
3682
00:32:59,440 --> 00:32:59,680:
happen
3683
00:32:59,680 --> 00:32:59,980:
often,
3684
00:32:59,980 --> 00:33:00,220:
so I'll
3685
00:33:00,220 --> 00:33:00,579:
enjoy
3686
00:33:00,579 --> 00:33:02,380:
it."
He
3687
00:33:02,380 --> 00:33:02,710:
leaned
3688
00:33:02,710 --> 00:33:02,980:
back
3689
00:33:02,980 --> 00:33:03,339:
again,
3690
00:33:03,339 --> 00:33:03,609:
eyes
3691
00:33:03,609 --> 00:33:07,878:
drifting. "Still...
3692
00:33:07,878 --> 00:33:08,109:
can't
3693
00:33:08,109 --> 00:33:08,349:
hate'em
3694
00:33:08,349 --> 00:33:11,170:
forever.
3695
00:33:11,170 --> 00:33:11,589:
They're too damn
3696
00:33:11,589 --> 00:33:11,859:
pretty
3697
00:33:11,859 --> 00:33:11,950:
to
3698
00:33:11,950 --> 00:33:12,190:
stay
3699
00:33:12,190 --> 00:33:12,609:
angry
3700
00:33:12,609 --> 00:33:14,589:
at."
Yakul
3701
00:33:14,589 --> 00:33:14,980:
leaned
3702
00:33:14,980 --> 00:33:15,369:
beside
3703
00:33:15,369 --> 00:33:16,660:
him.
3704
00:33:16,660 --> 00:33:16,809:
The
3705
00:33:16,809 --> 00:33:16,960:
air
3706
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:17,500:
smelled
3707
00:33:17,500 --> 00:33:17,589:
of
3708
00:33:17,589 --> 00:33:18,069:
salt
3709
00:33:18,069 --> 00:33:20,560:
and ash.
Bahamut
3710
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:20,920:
pointed
3711
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:21,039:
up
3712
00:33:21,039 --> 00:33:21,279:
once
3713
00:33:21,279 --> 00:33:23,079:
more. "That
3714
00:33:23,079 --> 00:33:23,619:
cluster...
3715
00:33:23,619 --> 00:33:23,859:
see
3716
00:33:23,859 --> 00:33:25,450:
it?
3717
00:33:25,450 --> 00:33:30,279:
Dochas. That's yours."
Yakul found it.
3718
00:33:30,279 --> 00:33:30,940:
Small,
3719
00:33:30,940 --> 00:33:31,720:
faint,
3720
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:31,869:
but
3721
00:33:31,869 --> 00:33:33,730:
steady.
He
3722
00:33:33,730 --> 00:33:34,242:
hesitated,
3723
00:33:34,242 --> 00:33:34,390:
then
3724
00:33:34,390 --> 00:33:36,400:
wrote:
3725
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:36,609:
Am I
3726
00:33:36,609 --> 00:33:36,819:
still
3727
00:33:36,819 --> 00:33:37,150:
welcome
3728
00:33:37,150 --> 00:33:37,210:
at
3729
00:33:37,210 --> 00:33:37,302:
the
3730
00:33:37,302 --> 00:33:39,940:
tavern?
Bahamut looked
3731
00:33:39,940 --> 00:33:41,829:
over. "Yakul... of
3732
00:33:41,829 --> 00:33:43,269:
course.
3733
00:33:43,269 --> 00:33:43,480:
Come

00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:43,660:
back

you
3737
00:33:43,869 --> 00:33:44,230:
want.
3738
00:33:44,230 --> 00:33:44,410:
No
3739
00:33:44,410 --> 00:33:46,390:
rush."
But
3740
00:33:46,390 --> 00:33:46,599:
my
3741
00:33:46,599 --> 00:33:47,049:
eyes...
3742
00:33:47,049 --> 00:33:47,710:
They
3743
00:33:47,710 --> 00:33:48,099:
remind
3744
00:33:48,099 --> 00:33:48,220:
you
3745
00:33:48,220 --> 00:33:48,309:
of
3746
00:33:48,309 --> 00:33:48,430:
your
3747
00:33:48,430 --> 00:33:50,319:
friend.
Bahamut
3748
00:33:50,319 --> 00:33:50,769:
exhaled
3749
00:33:50,769 --> 00:33:50,950:
through
3750
00:33:50,950 --> 00:33:51,069:
his
3751
00:33:51,069 --> 00:33:51,849:
nose,
3752
00:33:51,849 --> 00:33:52,089:
gaze
3753
00:33:52,089 --> 00:33:52,539:
still
3754
00:33:52,539 --> 00:33:52,630:
on
3755
00:33:52,630 --> 00:33:52,690:
the
3756
00:33:52,690 --> 00:33:56,319:
sky. "Yeah.
3757
00:33:56,319 --> 00:33:56,470:
They
3758
00:33:56,470 --> 00:33:58,480:
do.
3759
00:33:58,480 --> 00:33:58,630:
But
3760
00:33:58,630 --> 00:33:58,839:
that's
3761
00:33:58,839 --> 00:33:59,140:
my

00:33:59,410 --> 00:33:59,500:
to
3764
00:33:59,500 --> 00:33:59,890:
carry,
3765
00:33:59,890 --> 00:34:00,099:
not
3766
00:34:00,099 --> 00:34:02,470:
yours."
He
3767
00:34:02,470 --> 00:34:03,190:
stood,
3768
00:34:03,190 --> 00:34:03,609:
brushed the
3769
00:34:03,609 --> 00:34:03,880:
dust
3770
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:04,059:
from
3771
00:34:04,059 --> 00:34:04,180:
his
3772
00:34:04,180 --> 00:34:04,750:
coat,
3773
00:34:04,750 --> 00:34:04,869:
and
3774
00:34:04,869 --> 00:34:05,079:
held
3775
00:34:05,079 --> 00:34:05,170:
out
3776
00:34:05,170 --> 00:34:05,230:
a
3777
00:34:05,230 --> 00:34:07,720:
hand.
"Come
3778
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:08,980:
on.
3779
00:34:08,980 --> 00:34:12,849:
I've hit my nightly quota for brooding."
Yakul
3780
00:34:12,849 --> 00:34:13,329:
stared at
3781
00:34:13,329 --> 00:34:13,420:
the
3782
00:34:13,420 --> 00:34:13,690:
hand
3783
00:34:13,690 --> 00:34:13,869:
for
3784
00:34:13,869 --> 00:34:13,929:
a
3785
00:34:13,929 --> 00:34:15,489:
moment,
3786
00:34:15,489 --> 00:34:15,639:
then
3787
00:34:15,639 --> 00:34:15,849:
took
3788
00:34:15,849 --> 00:34:17,710:
it. Bahamut
3789
00:34:17,710 --> 00:34:17,980:
pulled
3790
00:34:17,980 --> 00:34:18,099:
him
3791
00:34:18,099 --> 00:34:18,250:
up
3792
00:34:18,250 --> 00:34:18,369:
with
3793
00:34:18,369 --> 00:34:18,909:
surprising
3794
00:34:18,909 --> 00:34:21,039:
gentleness.
"There
3795
00:34:21,039 --> 00:34:21,130:
we
3796
00:34:21,130 --> 00:34:21,309:
go,
3797
00:34:21,309 --> 00:34:22,930:
fox."
Yakul
3798
00:34:22,930 --> 00:34:23,679:
winced,
3799
00:34:23,679 --> 00:34:26,050:
scribbled:
3800
00:34:26,050 --> 00:34:26,289:
Don't
3801
00:34:26,289 --> 00:34:26,440:
call
3802
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:26,530:
me
3803
00:34:26,530 --> 00:34:27,250:
fox.
3804
00:34:27,250 --> 00:34:31,869:
Please.
Bahamut blinked. "Right.
3805
00:34:31,869 --> 00:34:33,849:
Sorry."
They
3806
00:34:33,849 --> 00:34:34,119:
stood
3807
00:34:34,119 --> 00:34:34,239:
there
3808
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:34,329:
a
3809
00:34:34,329 --> 00:34:34,599:
while
3810
00:34:34,599 --> 00:34:35,019:
longer,
3811
00:34:35,019 --> 00:34:35,110:
the
3812
00:34:35,110 --> 00:34:35,401:
sea
3813
00:34:35,401 --> 00:34:35,829:
chewing
3814
00:34:35,829 --> 00:34:35,949:
at
3815
00:34:35,949 --> 00:34:36,010:
the
3816
00:34:36,010 --> 00:34:36,400:
cliffs
3817
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:37,735:
below.
3818
00:34:37,735 --> 00:34:37,960:
Yakul
3819
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:38,199:
looked
3820
00:34:38,199 --> 00:34:38,440:
back
3821
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:38,530:
to
3822
00:34:38,530 --> 00:34:38,619:
the
3823
00:34:38,619 --> 00:34:39,010:
grave
3824
00:34:39,010 --> 00:34:39,130:
and
3825
00:34:39,130 --> 00:34:39,487:
copied
3826
00:34:39,487 --> 00:34:39,550:
the
3827
00:34:39,550 --> 00:34:39,909:
words
3828
00:34:39,909 --> 00:34:40,300:
carved
3829
00:34:40,300 --> 00:34:40,510:
into
3830
00:34:40,510 --> 00:34:40,599:
the
3831
00:34:40,599 --> 00:34:41,800:
stone.
When
3832
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:41,860:
he
3833
00:34:41,860 --> 00:34:42,219:
closed
3834
00:34:42,219 --> 00:34:42,369:
his
3835
00:34:42,369 --> 00:34:43,059:
notebook,
3836
00:34:43,059 --> 00:34:43,510:
Bahamut
3837
00:34:43,510 --> 00:34:43,630:
was
3838
00:34:43,630 --> 00:34:43,960:
watching
3839
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:50,679:
him.
"Let's go, Dochas."
Yakul nodded. Behind them, the
3840
00:34:50,679 --> 00:34:51,219:
flowers
3841
00:34:51,219 --> 00:34:51,309:
at
3842
00:34:51,309 --> 00:34:51,733:
Tozi's
3843
00:34:51,733 --> 00:34:52,090:
pyre
3844
00:34:52,090 --> 00:34:52,570:
swayed
3845
00:34:52,570 --> 00:34:52,659:
in
3846
00:34:52,659 --> 00:34:52,719:
the
3847
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:52,929:
night
3848
00:34:52,929 --> 00:34:54,699:
wind.
I
3849
00:34:54,699 --> 00:34:54,969:
have
3850
00:34:54,969 --> 00:34:55,329:
not
3851
00:34:55,329 --> 00:34:55,630:
yet
3852
00:34:55,630 --> 00:34:56,110:
begun
3853
00:34:56,110 --> 00:34:56,260:
to
3854
00:34:56,260 --> 00:35:03,760:
rebel.
The
3855
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:04,030:
door
3856
00:35:04,030 --> 00:35:04,360:
swung
3857
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:04,780:
open,
3858
00:35:04,780 --> 00:35:05,079:
warmth
3859
00:35:05,079 --> 00:35:05,559:
spilling
3860
00:35:05,559 --> 00:35:05,800:
out
3861
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:05,920:
with
3862
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:05,980:
the
3863
00:35:05,980 --> 00:35:06,369:
sound
3864
00:35:06,369 --> 00:35:06,460:
of
3865
00:35:06,460 --> 00:35:06,880:
mugs
3866
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:06,969:
and
3867
00:35:06,969 --> 00:35:08,500:
laughter.
Ehovan
3868
00:35:08,500 --> 00:35:08,920:
glanced
3869
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:09,039:
up
3870
00:35:09,039 --> 00:35:09,219:
from
3871
00:35:09,219 --> 00:35:09,550:
behind
3872
00:35:09,550 --> 00:35:09,639:
the
3873
00:35:09,639 --> 00:35:10,000:
counter
3874
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:10,090:
and
3875
00:35:10,090 --> 00:35:11,920:
grinned. "Laika!
3876
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:12,070:
Your
3877
00:35:12,070 --> 00:35:12,550:
coyote has
3878
00:35:12,550 --> 00:35:12,730:
been
3879
00:35:12,730 --> 00:35:15,610:
found!"
Laika
3880
00:35:15,610 --> 00:35:16,150:
turned, and
3881
00:35:16,150 --> 00:35:16,239:
the
3882
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:16,659:
brightness
3883
00:35:16,659 --> 00:35:16,780:
that
3884
00:35:16,780 --> 00:35:16,929:
hit
3885
00:35:16,929 --> 00:35:17,050:
her
3886
00:35:17,050 --> 00:35:17,440:
face
3887
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:17,829:
almost
3888
00:35:17,829 --> 00:35:20,170:
hurt. "Yakul!"
She
3889
00:35:20,170 --> 00:35:20,440:
ran
3890
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:20,530:
to
3891
00:35:20,530 --> 00:35:20,710:
him
3892
00:35:20,710 --> 00:35:20,800:
and
3893
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:21,039:
threw
3894
00:35:21,039 --> 00:35:21,159:
her
3895
00:35:21,159 --> 00:35:21,550:
arms
3896
00:35:21,550 --> 00:35:21,868:
around his
3897
00:35:21,868 --> 00:35:22,599:
shoulders.
3898
00:35:22,599 --> 00:35:22,719:
He
3899
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:22,899:
hugged
3900
00:35:22,899 --> 00:35:23,530:
back,
3901
00:35:23,530 --> 00:35:24,250:
careful,
3902
00:35:24,250 --> 00:35:24,580:
still
3903
00:35:24,580 --> 00:35:24,610:
a
3904
00:35:24,610 --> 00:35:24,789:
little
3905
00:35:24,789 --> 00:35:26,199:
stunned.
"I'm
3906
00:35:26,199 --> 00:35:26,440:
glad
3907
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:26,590:
you're
3908
00:35:26,590 --> 00:35:27,190:
okay,"
3909
00:35:27,190 --> 00:35:27,400:
she
3910
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:27,639:
said
3911
00:35:27,639 --> 00:35:27,969:
against
3912
00:35:27,969 --> 00:35:28,119:
his
3913
00:35:28,119 --> 00:35:29,679:
fur.
Ehovan
3914
00:35:29,679 --> 00:35:29,920:
came
3915
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:30,130:
over,
3916
00:35:30,130 --> 00:35:30,489:
wiping
3917
00:35:30,489 --> 00:35:30,610:
his
3918
00:35:30,610 --> 00:35:31,659:
hands. "How'd
3919
00:35:31,659 --> 00:35:31,719:
you
3920
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:31,900:
know
3921
00:35:31,900 --> 00:35:32,079:
who
3922
00:35:32,079 --> 00:35:32,199:
he
3923
00:35:32,199 --> 00:35:34,329:
was?"
Bahamut
3924
00:35:34,329 --> 00:35:34,599:
sighs
3925
00:35:34,599 --> 00:35:36,969:
deeply. "First,
3926
00:35:36,969 --> 00:35:37,059:
he
3927
00:35:37,059 --> 00:35:37,360:
found
3928
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:37,510:
me
3929
00:35:37,510 --> 00:35:37,960:
visiting
3930
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:38,380:
Tozi's
3931
00:35:38,380 --> 00:35:39,670:
grave.
3932
00:35:39,670 --> 00:35:41,019:
Second,"
3933
00:35:41,019 --> 00:35:41,111:
he
3934
00:35:41,111 --> 00:35:41,619:
pointed towards
3935
00:35:41,619 --> 00:35:48,940:
Yakul's eyes. "The eyes. Hard to miss."
Ehovan followed his fingers, saw
3936
00:35:48,940 --> 00:35:49,059:
the
3937
00:35:49,059 --> 00:35:49,510:
frost in them,
3938
00:35:49,510 --> 00:35:49,599:
and
3939
00:35:49,599 --> 00:35:54,670:
stilled. "Ah... yeah.
3940
00:35:54,670 --> 00:35:55,146:
That's gonna
3941
00:35:55,146 --> 00:35:55,329:
take
3942
00:35:55,329 --> 00:35:55,630:
a minute
3943
00:35:55,630 --> 00:35:55,719:
to
3944
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:55,869:
get
3945
00:35:55,869 --> 00:35:56,110:
used
3946
00:35:56,110 --> 00:35:58,030:
to."
Yakul
3947
00:35:58,030 --> 00:35:58,208:
looked
3948
00:35:58,208 --> 00:35:58,690:
down,
3949
00:35:58,690 --> 00:35:58,960:
rubbed
3950
00:35:58,960 --> 00:35:59,014:
at
3951
00:35:59,014 --> 00:35:59,079:
the
3952
00:35:59,079 --> 00:35:59,349:
back
3953
00:35:59,349 --> 00:35:59,440:
of
3954
00:35:59,440 --> 00:35:59,559:
his
3955
00:35:59,559 --> 00:35:59,920:
neck,
3956
00:35:59,920 --> 00:36:00,219:
half
3957
00:36:00,219 --> 00:36:00,699:
signing
3958
00:36:00,699 --> 00:36:00,940:
before
3959
00:36:00,940 --> 00:36:04,719:
stopping.
3960
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:04,929:
I... I
3961
00:36:04,929 --> 00:36:05,110:
was
3962
00:36:05,110 --> 00:36:07,269:
upset.
"I
3963
00:36:07,269 --> 00:36:08,050:
know,"
3964
00:36:08,050 --> 00:36:08,320:
Ehovan
3965
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:08,980:
said,
3966
00:36:08,980 --> 00:36:09,280:
giving his
3967
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:09,639:
shoulder a
3968
00:36:09,639 --> 00:36:10,989:
squeeze. "You
3969
00:36:10,989 --> 00:36:11,230:
came
3970
00:36:11,230 --> 00:36:11,679:
back.
3971
00:36:11,679 --> 00:36:11,889:
That's
3972
00:36:11,889 --> 00:36:12,010:
what
3973
00:36:12,010 --> 00:36:13,750:
matters."
He
3974
00:36:13,750 --> 00:36:13,989:
nodded
3975
00:36:13,989 --> 00:36:14,260:
toward
3976
00:36:14,260 --> 00:36:14,349:
the
3977
00:36:14,349 --> 00:36:16,119:
bar. "Mind

us
3980
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:16,539:
a
3981
00:36:16,539 --> 00:36:16,809:
second,
3982
00:36:16,809 --> 00:36:17,739:
Yakul?
3983
00:36:17,739 --> 00:36:17,920:
Go
3984
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:18,130:
keep

3986
00:36:18,464 --> 00:36:18,639:
from

burning

down.
3991
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:19,900:
Good
3992
00:36:19,900 --> 00:36:20,050:
luck
3993
00:36:20,050 --> 00:36:20,170:
with
3994
00:36:20,170 --> 00:36:21,730:
that."
Yakul
3995
00:36:21,730 --> 00:36:22,158:
nodded and
3996
00:36:22,158 --> 00:36:22,539:
wandered
3997
00:36:22,539 --> 00:36:24,010:
off.
At
3998
00:36:24,010 --> 00:36:24,099:
the
3999
00:36:24,099 --> 00:36:24,489:
counter,

00:36:24,898 --> 00:36:25,329:
spotted

him
4004
00:36:25,510 --> 00:36:25,780:
and threw
4005
00:36:25,780 --> 00:36:25,900:
his
4006
00:36:25,900 --> 00:36:26,170:
arms
4007
00:36:26,170 --> 00:36:26,980:
wide. "Oh
4008
00:36:26,980 --> 00:36:27,190:
my

00:36:27,190 --> 00:36:27,699:
stars!
4010
00:36:27,699 --> 00:36:27,880:
Look
4011
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:27,969:
at
4012
00:36:27,969 --> 00:36:28,269:
those

00:36:29,829 --> 00:36:30,010:
They're... They're

00:36:30,010 --> 00:36:32,110:
Frosty!"
Yakul
4016
00:36:32,110 --> 00:36:32,619:
groaned
4017
00:36:32,619 --> 00:36:32,710:
and
4018
00:36:32,710 --> 00:36:33,069:
thunked
4019
00:36:33,069 --> 00:36:33,190:
his
4020
00:36:33,190 --> 00:36:33,579:
forehead

00:36:33,579 --> 00:36:33,789:
onto

00:36:33,789 --> 00:36:33,880:
the

bar.
Across

00:36:35,530 --> 00:36:35,619:
the

Laika
4027
00:36:36,159 --> 00:36:36,760:
exhaled
4028
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:37,150:
and turned
4029
00:36:37,150 --> 00:36:37,420:
toward
4030
00:36:37,420 --> 00:36:40,360:
Bahamut. "Bahamut..."

Laika's

Bahamut's eyes drifted toward the bar where Yakul

Ehovan
4377
00:39:49,510 --> 00:39:50,739:
