[Well, that whole thing with the dreams was pretty unnerving to Tavros, especially since he found out that everyone had seen his. But luckily he's found something to distract himself from that.]

uHH, SO,
tHOSE DREAMS WERE, uHH, PRETTY WEIRD, RIGHT,
aND I GUESS, kIND OF SCARY ALSO, aND THEY MAKE ME FEEL KIND OF SAD THINKING ABOUT THEM,
bUT, uM, i FOUND SOMETHING, pRETTY NEAT JUST NOW,
uHH, cHECK IT OUT,

[The feed will then switch to video. It's Tavros, and behind him are a bunch of Arkan Sonney who don't seem to have noticed him yet. Tavros speaks in a low, excited whisper.]

So, uhh, I heard that, if you catch one of these small pigbeasts, you can get a wish! So, um, I will try it right now. Uhh, here I go!

[Tavros then props up the communicator carefully, and then turns around to sneak up on the pigs. Unfortunately it doesn't take long for them to notice him and almost all of them scatter. One of them is a little slower than the rest, so Tavros takes the opportunity to try and catch it by tackling it.

But the pig quickly scampers away, causing Tavros to not catch it and instead fall flat on his face. There's a moment of silence as he just lies there before you hear a muffled] Ow.

[It Keeps Happening.]

Uh, yeah, I'm alright! Don't worry about me. [Considering the other injuries Tavros has received, this is nothing.]

Uhh, well, I found this big book, with all these different faeries in it, and those little pigbeasts were one of them. And it said if you caught one, it could grant you a wish. But, uhh, they are pretty fast.

Ah. Well, acquiring one's wishes is a goal seldom without hard work involved, is it not?

Um, yeah, definitely. I wanted to be one of the Cavalreapers one day, so I practiced a lot with my jousting lance. And, uhh, I still do.

[Even though he can't join the Cavalreapers anymore since most trolls have now been wiped out...]

Is that not something one could achieve of their own merit?

Uhh, not really. It's, um, one of those things where you have to prove yourself worthy, and stuff.

...And is that not, therefore, something to be done on one's own merit?

Uhh, yeah. I guess it is.

Although it probably doesn't matter so much anymore, since the Cavalreapers are all gone now...

Then there'd be even less standing in your way, right?

I guess...but I don't know how I can be a Cavalreaper if there aren't any Cavalreapers to recruit me.

[herp derp]

By holding to the values and beliefs of such things, the important things, such an order may endure even after dissipating.

Really? I never thought about it that way...

Tradition and ritual may be important, but that which holds such a group together is their shared feelings and values. If even one person strives to uphold that spirit, it will endure.

Wow...then, I guess, as long as I remember them, and what they stood for and stuff, I guess they won't really be gone, right?

By carrying them within you, you'll keep them alive.

Um, okay! Then that is what I will do.

I think that’s a very admirable thing to seek.

Really? Uhh, wow, then I will definitely do my best!

Um, oh, I should probably introduce myself, I guess. I'm Tavros.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Tavros. [He gives a short bow over the feed.] I am Prince Schneizel el Britannia.
