So, what seems to be the problem this time? Ruby did something you didn't like and now you come crying home?"
"You'll be the one crying once you find out what people have done."
"What...people...…have...done?
What do you need?"
"Just candy. To help the people roll over until they can find something a little more sustainable."
"Food poisoning?"
"Please? I know we have more than enough to share. Don't hold back.
You don't have to give over the Dragons, like Ruby has said; but....."
"But what?"
"The people will starve, Natysh. The People will Starve; and their are not a lot of food choices left that they can make in a rapid quantity. So, until they can start marketing again; we have the resources....they have the need."
"How long are we talking?"
"...You mean, 'How much are we talking?"
"..No. No. No. No… Nooooo. You cannot take our whole stash."
"You just said that we had more than…."
"I didn't say anything. You just looked outside and assumed that we did."

"Oh. This. I.....*Haaaah*
Ruby had a lot of Beast Hunter clothes, and she said I could have this one. I can take it off if it gives you a bad..."
"No. It looks great on you."
"Really?"
"Can hardly tell you're a Princess anymore, but only a fearsome Protector like she was."
"I...….."
"But that is what you wanted, is it not?"
"Seems today, we have all been getting what we wanted?"
"Huh?"
"But at what cost?
Certainly not these Peoples."
"You're very convincing; I will give you that."
"So?"
"......How many people live in the Fire?"
"Yes!!!!!!!!!! I knew I could trust you. Never doubted. Not for one second."
