Scene Ten: Braska and Seymour Make Up
[Braska and Seymour are reunited in the woods. Braska got Rumoluf back from Maester Mika, who found the bird wandering in the woods, and Seymour obtained some of Shiva's icy hair (although she cast Blizzaga on him as punishment, which stung a little, but Seymour didn't die [A/N: Not surprising, since it's Seymour]). The pair now have 3 of the 4 items Lulu needs.]
Seymour: You've changed.
You're daring.
You're different in the woods.
More sure,
More sharing.
You're getting us through the woods.
If you could see—
You're not the man who started,
And much more open-hearted
Than I knew you to be.
Braska: It takes two.
I thought one was enough,
It's not true:
It takes two of us.
You came through
When the journey was rough.
It took you.
It took two of us.
It takes care,
It takes patience and fear and despair
To change.
Though you swear to change,
Who can tell if you do?
It takes two.
Seymour: You've changed.
You're thriving.
There's something about the woods.
Not just surviving,
You're blossoming in the woods.
At home I'd fear
We'd stay the same forever.
And then out here
You're passionate, charming, considerate, clever—
Braska: It takes one
To begin, but then once you've begun,
It takes two of you.
It's no fun,
But what needs to be done
You can do
When there's two of you.
If I dare,
It's because I'm becoming aware of us
As a pair of us,
Each accepting a share
Of what's there.
Both: We've changed.
We're strangers.
I'm meeting you in the woods.
Who minds
What dangers?
I know we'll get past the woods.
And once we're past,
Let's hope the changes last
Beyond care,
Beyond moogles and slippers and hair,
Just the two of us—
Beyond lies,
Safe at home with our beautiful prize,
Just the few of us.
It takes trust.
It takes just a bit more and we're done.
We want four, we had none.
We've got three.
We need one.
It takes two.
[Rumoluf wheezes and dies.]
Braska: Well, damn.
