Shamir, Catherine enter the scene

Catherine

...And he said, "I don't even have a horse!" Pretty funny story, huh?

Shamir

...

Catherine

What is it, Shamir? You're not laughing. Didn't you think it was funny?

Shamir

Sure.

Catherine

So then, laugh! You could stand to be a little friendlier, you know.

Shamir

Do I need to be?

Catherine

What do you mean, "need to be"? Friendship isn't about obligation. You could try being a bit warmer.

Catherine

Like when I first met you. I took the time to introduce myself and make friendly conversation...

Catherine

And you just said, "Hi, I'm Shamir."

Catherine

I remember thinking that you wouldn't be easy to get along with.

Shamir

Now that's funny.

Shamir

I remember thinking you were just another knight who loved the sound of her own voice.

Shamir

You know, the type who's all talk, but useless in battle.

Catherine

Well, that's a bit harsh. Did you really think that?

Shamir

Yes.

Catherine

Hmph. But you changed your mind when you saw me in action?

Shamir

I did. You're surprisingly strong.

Catherine

Well, even though you had zero charm, you did a nice job of supporting me.

Catherine

Now I know that you'll always have my back. In fact, maybe I should take it easy and let you handle all the fighting.

Shamir

It sounds like I'm going to be doing a lot more work around here.

Catherine

We make a pretty good team.

Catherine

At any rate, we're bound together, so we better try to get along! Don't you think, partner?

Shamir

If that's how you see it, I can't disagree.
