Annika: I want you to be more careful. Taren: Oh. Where is this coming from? Annika: Taren, I want you to be more careful because I don't think you realize how much you mean to me. Taren: Of course I do, Annika, but you can patch me up if I get too hurt, right? Annika: If that was always the case, then there would be no death on the battlefield. But there is. Taren: Why are you so tense? Annika: Because you don't listen to me! Taren: Annika, calm down- Annika: Don't tell me to calm down! You took a hit and you shrugged it off without getting me to help! Taren: That's what this is about? Annika, if I go to you every time I get a scratch, I'll never get anywhere on the battlefield, I'll be next to you like a forlorn puppy. Annika: It wasn't a scratch, and what's so wrong with being closer to my side? Taren: We'll talk about this later. Right now, I need to- be anywhere else doing anything else. Annika: We'd better talk about this later! B Annika: You ready to talk now? Taren: Now that you're not freaking out, I am perfectly okay with talking to you. Annika: I'm sorry, it's just, we were the only girls our age in Hawkinson. I grew up with you, and I don't want you to... die. Taren: I won't. I told you that I won't. Annika: That doesn't mean anything and you know it. Taren: So then what do you want from me? Annika: I want you to take this more seriously! I know you, so I can tell you from experience that you have a problem with comprehending the gravity of a situation. Taren: What? Annika: You don't get serious when everything around you does. Almost never is there a time where you understand that something could go wrong and most likely will. You just make dumb promises you might not be able to keep. Taren: Maybe you are taking things too seriously. Annika: You can't take war too seriously, Taren. Taren: I can be serious. I've been serious. Annika: I know, serious isn't the word I'm looking for. It's more like you're reckless. And that scares me. Taren: You know what? I don't need you to lecture me. Annika: That isn't what this is? Taren: Sure sounds like it. A Taren: I'm- Annika: I'm sorry. Taren: No, you shouldn't be sorry, cuz' I'm sorry. Annika: You are? Taren: I am totally sorry. I don't think enough about the consequences of my actions in combat. It's always the last thing on my mind. The first thing on my mind is keeping everyone I care about safe. That's always first. Annika: I know. And that's why I had to apologize. I keep saying I know you, and I do, but that's why I should have realized you keep strict priorities. You've always considered me more important than you, but to me- it's just the opposite. So don't get yourself killed. Please. Taren: I won't. I really won't. I pro- Annika: Just don't do it. Taren: Uh...right. Annika: And one more thing. Taren: Yes? Annika: Your braids are messy. Let me fix it, it's been bothering me since this morning. Taren: Sure, mom. Annika: Hardy har har.
