 [Hello, good people! Have a fidgety young lady addressing the feed, shifting from side to side.]

Um, hello. I, um... I'm sorry for taking up some of your time today...

[A Duskull is in the background, doing her hair.]

Why don't you just use me, kiddo?

N-No, I can do this! I'm fine! Uh, where was I... oh, r-right!

[She gulps, turning her attention back to the 'audience'.]

Lady Lucina gave our thanks to all of you in Union, and I... just wanted to add my own as well. You've all been so kind. No wonder you've lasted for so long... a-and it's time to repay such generosity.

... Unfortunately, I'm not really as talented as Lady Lucina. Or strong. Or wise. Or...

...Are you sure you don't want to use me?

N-No! I really! Let me try one last time... What I mean to say is... W-what does the city need most right now? Out of everything in the city, what could use the most help?

But what're you starting with?

[blood_and_thunder]

I've had a lot of practice when it comes to defending myself... Does that count?

[makeitquick]

'Course it does. Union might not be in a war, but we still got big pokémon out there that'll eat you.

[blood_and_thunder]

So you think I should sign up to defend Union...?

[makeitquick]

Think you should figure out if you wanna. You're foreign, right?

[blood_and_thunder]

Y-Yes. My home is really Ylisse... was really Ylisse.

[makeitquick]

Yeah. So you wanna fight for it. Wanna die on Union if it goes there? Dunno if you do or don't.

[blood_and_thunder]

...

If I could give my life to protect Union, I would.

[makeitquick]

[ Huh-- ]

Why?

[ That probably came out a bit harder than she intended. But she's surprised and curious all at once ]

[blood_and_thunder]

My life isn't worth much.

[The Duskull is clearly disapproving of this, but remains quiet.]

... But to use up my life to help someone... I think that's a noble thing to do.I would be satisfied, knowing that at least what I did was useful to someone.

[ ... Hah. Melaka exhales out of her mouth, and shakes her head. ]

Then Rangers are out. Guard... iunno, you can talk. Ain't my business what you do, really, but if you're hard on cash, there's places I can point you for now.

[blood_and_thunder]

I don't money. I just want to help out, and show my gratitude.

[makeitquick]

Need money, though. Need it unless we're the ones feeding you, in which case, need money to have us stop doin' it and that's gratitude.

[ She sighs, though. She does get what this person means, and... ]

Learn what you can, try out what you can, learn where you fit. People fit in somewhere.
