*Glaes: Gh...
 	
*Glaes: Maeri... Maeri! Are you all right?
*Glaes: Speak to me!
 	
*Maeri: I think so... Um, Woolie is a little frazzled, but she's okay.
 	
*Glaes noses at Maeri, who slowly rises on wobbly feet.
*The heat from the blast still lingered uncomfortably—the earth beneath their feet a sludge of snow and melted ice.
 	
*Maeri: Mister Glaes, look!
*Maeri: The snow! It's all gone...!
 	
*Glaes: The pendant, did it do this?
 	
*Maeri pulls out the pendant, but nothing seems to have changed.

*Narrator: "Indeed, no mere object could replicate the power of Spring."
*Narrator: "The duo looked at each other. Were they looking for Spring in the wrong places?"
*Narrator: "What could drive bitter Winter away?"
*Maeri: (Melted snow...and flame...)
*Maeri: (It can't be—the dragon?!)
*Maeri: (But the rest of it is blank...! How do we convince her?!)
 	
*In fire and fury, the dragon woman soars out on scarlet wings, claws poised to strike.
*Dragon Lady: Keep running and I'll TORCH the forest!
 	
*Maeri: No! You will not!
*Maeri: Why—Why do you have to be so mean!
*Maeri: What did the forest do to you?
 	
*Dragon Lady: What?
 	
*Dragon Lady: You...insolent little...!
 	
*Maeri: ...Miss Vyrr! Stop iiiit!
*Maeri: That's your name, right?
 	
*Maeri: We're...We're sorry we took your pendant...
*Maeri: So please... Let's not fight...

*Vyrr: Aren't you just *adorable*...!
*Vyrr: Why... Did I scare you that badly, little sweetling?
*Vyrr: There, there! Dry your tears!
*Vyrr: It was so dim in there, I couldn't get a good look at you!
 	
*Glaes: ... ...
 	
*Maeri: P-Please don't eat me...
 	
*Vyrr: Eat?! No!
*Vyrr: ...All right, I suppose I was more than a little ornery, just now.
*Vyrr: You wouldn't be in the best of moods if you were so rudely awakened by thieves...
 	
*Vyrr: ...But I will accept your sincere apology.
 	
*Vyrr: On account of you being absolutely precious. My goodness...
*Vyrr: Now, tell me what was that again, about the blizzard?
 	
*Glaes: Remind me never to incur the wrath of a 'dragon' again...
 	
*Maeri: Aha...ha...
*Maeri: (Glaes...!)
 	
*Glaes: (Just stay still!)
 	
*Maeri: (Sigh...)
 	
*Maeri: S-So, Miss Vyrr...
