and. I.
1:04
Have to be moving on. I have
1:06
third or to go but it was good
1:08
to meet you. Likewise,
1:11
And in used to pass on. Tell.
1:14
Them Davi his car will be

home so that. Do. You
1:18
have anything. Not. Oh.
1:23
Here. Thank you. Very.
1:25
Much. Be. Say father. At.
1:28
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
14:22
time on inbetween. It's
14:26
already hard traveling. in the winter without having to
14:28
