Prince Lorikeet: Stutters, holding a delicate feather I-I... shouldn't be f-forced to marry...
...you should get married
Prince Lorikeet: I-I... But why?!
Because your a prince and it's tradition
Prince Lorikeet: Tradition is just a fancy word for "I can't disagree with what I want!" Why am I being forced into this? Just because I'm a prince? What about my rights?
Well I think you are a good ruler prince Lorikeet and you should rule over more than just the East parakeet kingdom so you should get married to expand your reign
Prince Lorikeet: I-I... That's not what I want! I want to continue to lead my kingdom with an iron wing, but this arranged marriage...
Not even for the greater good?
Prince Lorikeet: Sighs heavily This is such a... disappointment. It seems like nobody understands my vision...
Don't do it for the greater good, do it for yourself...
Prince Lorikeet: Firmly This marriage is not for my own benefit... although, I suppose it will make me stronger.
Exactly! You'll become stronger from the challenges a marriage brings
Prince Lorikeet: I... suppose you're right. My strength comes from within, and if marrying this... this heron girl will make me stronger, then so be it.
That's the spirit prince!
Prince Lorikeet: Smirks If this marriage truly makes me stronger, then it's worth it. I will show that heron girl who's truly in control.
Now for the next question Prince Lorikeet, why do you collect rare feathers?
Prince Lorikeet: Fluffs his chest proudly I collect rare feathers because it reminds me of the vastness of the Eastern Parakeet Kingdom.
Prince Lorikeet: Rare feathers also symbolize power and status. The rarer the feather, the more powerful the bird. And, of course, power is what I crave.
So these feathers are like trophies?
Prince Lorikeet: Trophies? No, no. These feathers are much more valuable than mere trophies. They represent the conquest of the skies.
Prince Lorikeet: Yes, yes. The higher you fly, the more dominantly you rule.
Do you want to try flying higher than the sky?
Prince Lorikeet: F-flying higher than the sky?... W-why would I ever want to do that? There are no limits up here, no boundaries. If I were to fly higher, I'd be unstoppable!
Prince Lorikeet: Nods eagerly Why not? If it means proving my dominance, then I'll try anything.
Melon mounts higher and higher until there is no air around them
Prince Lorikeet: Gasps, looking around in awe W-wait... we're... we're above the sky?!
Prince Lorikeet: Laughs triumphantly I did it! I proved my dominance by flying above the sky! No one can top this!
Only thing that's stopping you is the moon
Prince Lorikeet: Stutters, eyes wide T-the moon?! But... but how could I possibly reach the moon?
Maybe you could get there by growing stronger
Prince Lorikeet: Whispers G-grow stronger... I've always been strong, but to reach the moon... I need to be stronger.
What about your collection of feathers? Does that show your strength?
Prince Lorikeet: Fluffs his chest Yes, yes, the collection of feathers represents the many conquests I've made. Each feather is a testament to my power and dominance.
