BRAVE SOUL

“ i always wondered...are there words in tomes? d’y’ ever make stuff up? “

“ that ginormous blade. “ he motioned a hand towards the winking thing before chugging on. “ if it ain’t pryin’, how long’d it take y’ to be able to hold that thang? were you a young’un when y’ started? “

“ y’ ever heard this’un? she sells sapphireberries down by the stream shore. “

“ welp, i found this itty bitty cub while i was out lookin’ at the stars last night and i didn’ see ‘is ma around. so, i reckoned it wouldn’t hurt to let him spend the night in camp, b'fore he'n'i set out to look for her, and fer the most part, it didn’... but then i went out to catch ‘em some fish to eat and when i come back, there ain’t even a hair left behind t’ show that he was here. “

“ that tactician fella says we’re headin’ out for a fight ; you got yer weapon all prettied up? “

“ robin! glad i caught cha’! y’ didn’t happen to see a lil’, uh, bear cub runnin’ through here, did y’? “

“ you feel comfortable talkin’ ‘bout what you saw back then? “

“ gee whiz! you look like you could take out three 'r four armies with that sword alone! “

“ durned if that ain’t the best thang i’ve heard t’day. “
