Here. Thank you. Very.

Much. Be. Say father. At.

Kids. To

1:32

make it isn't actually your cousin,

1:34

right? Now

1:36

that's a juror item born. Think. What?

1:39

Does it mean. We're. All of

1:41

us apart of our own communities and family

1:43

groups but one that were a the Dragon

1:46

Ball as a whole. Lot. Of

1:48

us a party. That bad that or worse

1:50

than the rest were family. Sounds.

1:53

Idealistic. Yeah. has

1:55

its problems but i prefer to

1:57

cloying ambition at the expense here

2:01

Clawing ambition can be fun, though. Yeah,

2:03

for one person at a time, maybe. You're

2:06

saying all Dragonborn are just holding

2:08

hands, singing kumbaya? No,

2:11

I'm saying that the ones that refuse to

2:13

play nice don't get celebrated

2:15

by their society. Usually. Anyway. Which

2:19

is more than I can say from most of you eight times. What

2:22

about passing long news? What did you mean by that?

2:26

Also a Dragonborn thing. It's a way

2:28

of keeping connected, and if necessary retracing

2:30

someone's steps. This way, if

2:32

anyone's desperate to know what happened to Tvivka, I

2:34

can tell them what she wanted people to know.

2:37

Seems sensible. What did she give

2:39

you? Let's see, uh...

2:43

It's a medallion. This must

2:45

be Tvivka's family crest. Gorgeous

2:48

embossing. Yack.

2:51

That's a mithril. Is

2:53

it? Tvivka's a good egg. Mithril?

2:58

Oh gods. That kid

3:00

just gave you a mithril medallion out

3:02

of nowhere. Yeah, I suppose

3:04

so. Why? That

3:06

was a kindness. Respect, I

3:08

think. I

3:10

dunno, it makes more sense to a dragon. We're

3:13

family, sort of. See? I

3:15

wouldn't give a medallion worth more

3:17

than a house to anyone in

3:20

my family. Especially

3:22

not for free. Yeah,

3:24

we don't think about possessions like you mammals

3:26

do. That's

3:29

ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous. What

3:32

about the concept of hoarding? I mean, dragons

3:34

are known for hoarding. Yeah,

3:37

we do it. We just

3:39

understand the hoarders belong to a

3:41

community rather than individuals. Then

3:44

where did the dragon's reputation of being selfish come

3:46

from? Dragons.

3:49

Dragons proper are different.

3:53

They don't have to live in communities. Not like people do.

3:56

Dragons aren't people? Well,

3:58

they're kind of beyond... people,

4:01

don't you think? Do you

4:03

worship them? Well,

4:05

just the godlike ones, just like anyone else. If

4:08

you're worried about me having any hesitation about fighting

4:10

Dorygath the Trapper when we get to where we're

4:13

going, then rest assured I'm looking forward

4:15

to it. A

4:17

Mithril Medallion? They

4:19

really are such a good kid. But

4:22

Yak the Value! What

4:24

value? A Mithril Medallion won't

4:27

save my life, but I bet Tivithka would. All

4:30

this codependence.

4:32

It's hard to wrap your head

4:34

around. Nah, nah. Like it. It's

4:37

not codependent. Every

4:40

person alive has to rely on someone else, even

4:42

if it's just a little bit in order to

4:44

keep existing. The only difference

4:46

between Dragonborn and everyone else is that we're

4:48

willing to acknowledge that and celebrate it. Living

4:51

in a community is just the

4:55

economics of being alive. Not

4:58

that your community worked out great for you. What

5:02

did you say? Let's

5:05

be honest. Community is all

5:07

well and good. Friendship,

5:09

too. But family? The

5:12

community forced upon you without your consent?

5:15

It's just a curse. Is

5:18

that a scoff I hear? Go

5:21

on, Rukes. Speak your mind. I

5:24

only scoff when someone's being wrong with an

5:26

earshot. I scoff

5:28

a lot. Oh? Suddenly

5:31

the skeptic is all about blood

5:34

obligation? You're just showing

5:36

off your baggage and calling it fact.

5:39

I bet Phoebe agrees with me. Well,

5:42

maybe. Mm-hmm. Your

5:44

family ever do you any favors, Larkin? I

5:47

can't really say that they did. There's

5:49

some evidence for you. You

5:52

call it evidence. I call that sad. Now,

5:55

in Yak's case, you'd think with

5:57

all the Dragonborn talk of cooperation...

6:00

and community their family would be

6:02

more forgiving but max do you

6:05

value your life Yes,

6:08

then shut up. Come

6:10

on. Yack. I was just saying that you

6:12

talk Far too much.

6:15

Sometimes max a million Shut

6:17

your mouth and mind your business

6:21

This is interesting stay out of it

6:24

for once. I'm out of it. I'm

6:26

out of them. Just Watching carefully.

6:29

I'm not trying to say that there's

6:32

anything wrong with Dragonborn in particular

6:35

The problem is with family in

6:37

general. They screwed you over You're

6:40

the one that told me that how

6:42

long have we known each other max? It's

6:45

been years Which is

6:47

how I know maybe you

6:49

forgot then when I

6:51

told you specifically

6:54

not to talk about my family

6:57

I'm not talking about your family.

6:59

I'm talking about the concept of

7:02

family yours just happens to be

7:04

a prime example God

7:08

Yeah What was that?

7:10

You know? Wow

7:15

Whoa. Hey, hey now. Yeah. All

7:17

right. All right. I'm sorry. All

7:19

right. Yeah, you're about to

7:21

be As as

7:24

much as I would love to watch this

7:26

play out. Yeah, I don't think miss Tessa

7:28

would take kindly to murder in her in

7:34

Yeah, please just

7:37

talking You

7:39

know me I talk I

7:43

Thought you knew me better. I

7:46

don't make idle threats and

7:49

I thought I was immune to your threats Because

7:52

we're friends You're

7:54

not immune we

7:57

Claire crystal So,

8:16

in the interest of not crossing this

8:18

line, could we perhaps

8:20

know where it is, Jak? Do

8:24

not talk about

8:26

my family. It's a

8:28

situation you don't understand, and you don't know

8:31

the nuances of my people enough to try.

8:34

You're trying not to be found by them. How

8:38

would you know that? You

8:40

didn't pass any news along to Tvivka? Alright.

8:46

Well spotted. You're

8:48

not in danger of being hunted down, are

8:51

you? No, your

8:53

skins are safe, don't worry. What

8:56

about your skills? What

8:59

do you want from me? Details? Do you

9:01

want details? Don't make them

9:03

talk about it. I'm not

9:05

making anyone do anything, Jak can

9:08

do whatever she likes. But

9:11

if details are on the table... Look. If

9:17

you must know, my grandfather

9:19

ran my community like a tyrant. He

9:22

was in charge, and he kept the

9:24

peace and no one dared to challenge him. I

9:26

got fed up with it, and I defied him, and had

9:29

my trouble. I was cast out. They

9:32

do not care about me, they're under strict

9:34

orders not to. Maybe

9:37

it's best to keep the peace,

9:40

then. Not rock the boat. No.

9:44

No quarter for bullies. I

9:46

don't regret it. It must

9:48

be awful to

9:50

lose your community like that. No,

9:54

Phoebe, it was just what had to happen.

9:58

And I don't want to talk about it anymore.

10:00

and I sure don't want to hear you talk

10:02

about it. Okay. And

10:05

that goes for all of you. I will kill

10:07

you. Of course.

10:11

Whatever you need. Now that is

10:13

how you set a boundary. Learn from them,

10:15

Larkin. Learn what? It's

10:19

a rare club you've entered friends. Yack

10:22

doesn't tell just anyone about this.

10:25

What did I say? What

10:27

did I literally just

10:29

get done saying? I

10:32

don't know why you think you're so special, Max. Don't

10:35

talk about my family. Or I'll

10:37

kill you. That's not that

10:39

hard to understand. You're

10:41

not still mad at me. Yes.

10:44

And I plan to be for a while. I

10:49

don't like you being mad at me. Yeah, well

10:51

maybe you'll learn this time then. What

10:54

can I do to make it right? You can

10:56

start by shutting up. And

10:59

it'll help not to look at you for a while. I'll

11:04

get a drink. Yeah, you do. Well,

11:13

that was fascinating. Don't

11:16

you start. Hmm. And

11:19

that's a friend of yours, is he? One

11:22

of my oldest. Hmm, how

11:25

depressing. You can't just make

11:28

judgments about other people's friendships. Are

11:30

you trying to rob me of my favorite

11:32

hobby? How cruel. No, I

11:35

mean it. We haven't known either of

11:37

them for very long, and it's presumptive to

11:39

try and undermine what they have. If

11:42

undermining what they have can be accomplished

11:45

by a stray comment, then it's not

11:47

worth preserving. I'm sure this

11:49

isn't how Max usually acts. Respectfully,

11:52

Larkin? Where on earth have

11:54

you been? Well then, well

11:57

he must be worth it the rest of the time. A

11:59

boy? cold assertion. Why's that? Because

12:02

it's Yak. I mean, who's

12:04

gonna order her around or make her feel small?

12:08

No quarter for bullies. Yeah,

12:10

exactly. Well then, our miniscale

12:13

protector. Why do you put

12:15

up with Max? Maybe

12:21

it's time us to ask himself that question.

12:25

There is hope for us yet. Praise the

12:27

name assumed. How did you

12:29

become friends in the first place? Don't ruin

12:31

this with nostalgia, Phoebe. I

12:34

got into this bar fight. It wasn't pretty. I

12:36

was gonna be lucky to be alive by the

12:38

end of it. And at

12:40

that point, I didn't care.

12:42

It's fresh off exile. But then

12:45

Max jumped in and helped.

12:48

They told me they'd felt like even in the

12:50

odds. And they can really

12:52

fight too. We've seen him

12:54

fight. Yeah, not like he does

12:56

when he's back into a corner. And

12:59

you've been friends ever since? They've

13:01

always looked out for me. Mostly.

13:04

They're not a great person,

13:06

but then again neither am

13:08

I. Are

13:12

you alright? Oh, I'm...

13:17

I'm frustrated with Max, but I'm

13:20

alright. Are you sure? I mean,

13:23

you were just ready to do a murder, so... My

13:26

past does not bother me.

13:29

People trying to interpret my past does.

13:32

Just avoid that and we'll be fine.

13:35

You got that, Rooks? Hey,

13:38

I see very clearly what

13:40

you want people to perceive about you, Yak. Good.

13:46

Why does Max feel so strongly

13:48

about family being terrible? You

13:52

want to know something ironic? Yes.

13:55

He's never told me. Of

13:57

Course he hasn't. Anything.

14:00

Oh, they make vague allusions from time to

14:02

time. I think them some so and ability

14:05

and they use that. They.

14:07

Have. It's how man the mall.

14:09

God forbid people interpret him in

14:11

a way that he can't control

14:13

and that's not very sporting. Not.

14:17

As. Next
