June: O-oh…. I take it your meeting thing…… er negotiation didn’t go well.
Val: lies down on the bed next to June Not at all. I don’t understand why it’s so hard to set up trade with those dragons.
June: Well, they are known to be greedy…….
Val: We’ve offered them so much! Yet they refuse to give us what little we need! It’s like they want the entire Crystal Empire!
June: M-maybe you just need to talk it out with them a little more or
Val: What do you think we’ve been doing this whole time???

Val: Oh, nononono it’s okay June! I’m sorry! I didn’t realize that I was putting all this stress on you
June: But you’re supposed to talk to me. That’s what couples do! I just wish that I could help.
