Inside the Order, Daytime
Don... I know you're busy, so thank you for agreein' to see me.
Like I said, you're welcome anytime. What can I do for you?
Well, I got into it a little with some of the witches.
You did?
It wasn't anythin' serious. Just a disagreement! Real small-time stuff!
What has got into you, Snorky? I thought you'd washed your hands of that stuff.
I never said I washed my hands of that. I'm just layin' low and bidin' my time.
Still, I've been livin' by a strict rule: Not gettin' involved in any fights if possible.
But what those two witches were pullin'? I could not let that kind of evil deed slide.
Evil deed? What were they doing?
They were talkin' a lot of smack about the Order and you, Don! Can you believe it?!
If they were mouthin' off about me, I could have let it slide... but draggin' your respectable name through the mud, Don? I couldn't let that stand.
What?? They insulted me? How mean...
Was it bad? Don't tell me if it was really bad. Only if it wasn't too harsh...
Brace yourself...
Okay. Lay it on me. I'm prepared.
Those witches...
Yeah...?
They said that you've been corrupted by them sprites. That you stuff cakes down your trap every day.
Huh?
I didn't get the nuance right, but if you were there, it was seriously brutal!
I held back, but in the end, I couldn't take it no more, and I snapped!
I shouted, "Drink up, witches!" and sprayed them with sugar water!
Sugar water?!
Heh. The moment that rancid sugar soaked into them, they panicked real good.
I topped it all off with a strong reprimand, Don. I told them to start actin' decent from here on out.
G-Good job, but let's stick to a more peaceful approach when solving things from now on.
Capisce! I will try other methods!
What a violent witch she is. Compromise or negotiation doesn't seem to be part of Snorky's vocabulary.
But right after that sugar water business, somethin' funny popped up by my head.
She must be talking about that Yearning. I noticed it as soon as she walked in.
I came by figurin' you might know somethin' about it, Don...
And judgin' by that look in your eyes, you can see it too.
Yeah. I'm not sure why, but I can see it too.
Only you and me can see it, Don? Somethin' smells fishy about this...
If you know something, please explain! If you know somethin', you gotta tell me!
It's a manifestation of your wishes or your desires.
My wishes? Desires? Hmmmm...
But that just makes one thing bother me...
If it is my wish or desire, why did it show up after I dumped sugar water on them witches?
That's something I don't get either. The timing just came out of nowhere.
Wait! I suddenly see the connection, Don!
What? Go ahead and tell me!
I tore into those witches because they disrespected you, Don. You're my aspiration.
That's the same as mockin' my ambition, my dream. That's why I couldn't let it go.
So that was the moment she reexamined her ambitions... and when her Yearning manifested?
It makes sense when you put it that way. I'm glad it turned out okay.
I had a moment of regret, thinkin' maybe I went too hard on those witches. But after listenin' to you, Don, I know I did right.
From now on, any lowlife who mouths off about you is gettin' a sugar water shower.
No, no, don't do that!! If you hear someone badmouth me, just pretend you didn't hear it.
Wow, so you're sayin' you don't give a damn about cheap slander, Don?
You're more big-hearted than I thought!
It's not like that. But it feels good to hear you say that.
I'm just saying that you shouldn't splash sugar water on anyone or hit them. A firm scolding or something should be good enough.
Ah! So I should verbally terrorize them!
No...
Oh.
You don't have to react to every little insult, right?
Just pretend you didn't hear anything and move on.
Urgh, but if we just go ignorin' it, your authority will fall apart, Don!
That puts the entire gang at risk!
So what? If my authority hits rock bottom and the Order is at risk, you could replace me as Master, Snorky.
You'd give me your position? Th-That's...
*Slurp.*
You were clearly tempted just now.
Not at all! I merely thought of somethin' sour, and my mouth watered, that's all!
I'll get goin' now.
Snorky runs away in a fluster.
Snorky's Yearning seems to exude ambition...
One day, Snorky might take over the Order and turn it into some sort of strange gang...
I doubt Ner would let that happen though. I wonder who'd win if those two went at each other...
Axe Gang Ner vs. Fist Gang Snorky... Sounds like fun!
