- Keaton: Whoa, Nina, this is some treasure collection…
- Nina: [frown] Dad? Hey, just don’t go through my stuff!
- Nina: [smile] But yeah, they’re pretty great, huh!
- Keaton: Do you have a favourite?
- Nina: Hmm… I’d have to say this piece here.
- Keaton: What is that, a teddy bear?
- Nina: Yep! Note the slightly musty smell, and the way the left ear’s been repatched with a different material.
- Keaton: [smile] Gorgeous! My little girl’s got such a good eye!
- Nina: [smile] Aww, thanks, Dad.
- Keaton: [surprised] Hey, what’s this o-
- Nina: [frown] Don’t look at that!
- Keaton: Huh?
- Nina: Okay, that’s enough show and tell in Nina’s room, off you go!
- Keaton: But-
- Nina: Out!
- Keaton: [sweat] Okay, okay!
- Keaton: Sheesh, like father like daughter…
- B-support
- [Nina alone]
- Nina: [smile] Beautifully done. Now, to review the loot.
- Nina: Oh, what’s this?
- Nina: [smile, closed eyes] Pretty! I’m definitely holding onto-
- Nina: [frown] Who’s there?!
- Keaton: You’re out late, Nina. With your bow, too. Going out hunting?
- Nina: [sweat] Something like that.
- Keaton: [smile] Is that bracelet another one of your treasures?
- Nina: Yep!
- Keaton: [frown] ‘Cause it doesn’t smell like you at all.
- Keaton: Have you been stealing again?
- Nina: [frown] So what if I have?
- Keaton: [frown] C’mon, Nina! You can’t keep doing this!
- Keaton: I thought you and Niles talked about this!
- Nina: Like I care what HE has to say.
- Keaton: Nina!
- Keaton: He stole to survive. There’s a huge difference and you know it!
- Nina: Look, this stupid goblet here would sell for enough to feed a family for two weeks!
- Nina: And when I give the gold to them, that’s exactly what they’re going to do – survive.
- Nina: Just because I don’t need it doesn’t mean no-one does.
- Keaton: Nina…
- Nina: Humans aren’t like us, Dad. They can’t just live off the prey they hunt.
- Nina: [eyes closed] Now, I’ve got some loot to fence, so unless you want to lecture me some more…
- Keaton: [sad] …Go ahead.
- [Nina leaves]
- Keaton: Geez. Survival, huh?
- A-support
- Villager 1: …Thank you so much. I don’t know how we can ever repay you.
- Nina: [smile, closed eyes] No need to worry about that.
- Villager 2: Please, you’ll at least stay for- AHH!
- Nina: [confused] Huh?
- Villager 2: W-wolf!
- Keaton: Hey, Nina.
- Villager 1: It’s- it’s one of those Wolfskin things! Get away from her!
- Nina: [surprised] No, no, it’s okay! Put down the pitchfork!
- Nina: This is my dad!
- Nina: (Dad, what are you doing here?!)
- Villager 1: Y-your father? Then you’re…
- Villager 2: P-please! Don’t hurt us!
- Nina: [frown] Why would I want to hurt you?
- Nina: [sad] W-well, anyway, take care, okay?
- Nina: I’ll just, um. Go.
- [door SFX]
- Nina: [eyes closed] Wow. They had a quick turnaround.
- Keaton: [sad] Sorry, sweetie.
- Nina: Eh, maybe they’ll rethink being so scared of Wolfskin after this.
- Nina: [frown] So… what do you want?
- Keaton: [sweat] I… I don’t know.
- Nina: Huh?
- Keaton: I came here to be all “don’t steal any more”, but… you’re right.
- Keaton: They were so skinny and sick-looking. And this whole village is like that.
- Nina: Mm-hmm. The village lord’s been raising taxes, and no-one can afford enough food or medicine.
- Keaton: [smile, closed eyes] I’m proud of you, Nina.
- Nina: [blush, surprised] Wait, what?
- Nina: Even though I’m stealing?
- Keaton: You really are doing it for a good cause.
- Keaton: Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I doubted you! But I thought maybe you’d gotten tricked, or you’d misunderstood or something.
- Keaton: But… even though you’ve been in this world for way less time than me, you already understand it better.
- Nina: [smile] Thanks, Dad. I’m glad you get it.
- Keaton: [smile, closed eyes] So, where are we breaking in next?
- Nina: [surprised] Wait, what? “We?”
- Keaton: Yeah! I mean, I’m your accomplice now, right?
- Nina: But-
- Keaton: If I’m worried about the danger, the best thing I can do is go with you!
- Keaton: Oooh, we could get Niles in on it too-
- Nina: No!
- Keaton: [smile, closed eyes] Aww, this’ll be great! The family that steals together stays together!
