>Not going on a harduous quest to grant your waifu the powers she needs to become her own person and no longer rely on body-snatching.
But hey, if it's your fetish, I won't judge… too much.

>Stir, stir.
>The repetitive motions of the spoon in the broth relaxes the man's aching muscles.
>Despite the years spent drawing his bow and running in the dungeons, the strain is still here.
>Taste's perfect. Just add the flagon of elixir. She's just like the cat he had at home, if he doesn't hide the medicine she won't drink it.
>"Dravan?"
"Mh?"
>"Do you ever… Regret meeting me?"
"Where does this come from, Reina?"
>"I was just thinking… The people at the tavern, yesterday, they wanted to recruit you in their guild, but you can't, since I'm here, right?"
"Don't be stupid, I swore my oath to you knowing full well what I was doing, an archer of the Wraithorne never breaks his promises."
>"But…How long has it been since we began? We've yet to find anything concrete."
"But the rumors still exist, Reina, they need to come from somewhere, I don't know where, I don't know why they keep coming back, but if there is even an ounce of truth in those tales, then it's worth chasing after it. I'll help you become human once again. Also, we did get some pretty valuable trinkets."
>A part of him thinks it's a shame that she just hoards it somewhere, but she does use it for supplies and living expenses.
>"Thank you, Dravan."
"Besides, I'd be long dead without you to protect me."
>"These scales are pretty tough, it's all they're good for." her beautiful golden eyes drift to her hands, silver cuirass instead of skin.
"Have you tried to breathe fire again? That witch said you just had to train."
>"I haven't, I… It gives me a sore throat." her smile is weak and forced.
"But you can fly now, right?"
>"Not quite, it's more like jumping really high and then gliding. Sorry."
"Did save my back earlier, so once more, thank you."
>"You're welcome."
"Still… I'd like to see you soar, one day. I always wanted to touch a cloud."
>"So you want me to carry you?"
"Guilty as charged."
>"When we get out of these ruins, I'll try to fly some more, alright?"
"Just don't force yourself, please."
>You know you can heal cuts, burns and broken bones, but you'd rather not verify if you can salvage someone who got flattened.
>"Dravan?"
"Yes?"
>"If… If we learn that there is no cure for me… What will you do?"
"… I'll stay by your side."
>"A Wraithorne never goes back on his word, right?"
"Right, but even without it, wouldn't change a thing. If you want me at your side, I'll stay, dragon or human, you're the best companion I ever travelled with, and I only wish I can keep on travelling with you."
>"Oh… Oh! I-I don't know how to… Thank you, Dravan, it means a lot to me."
>You sit a little closer to her, wrapping your travel cape around the two of you.
"Eat some more, tomorrow, we breach the strongroom."
>"You keep putting medicine in it, stop."
"It's good for you. And me."
>"Say, Dravan?"
"Mh?"
>"About traveling more together, would you mind… Settling down, one day, perhaps?"
"…Umh… Y-yeah, I never thought about it… but it does sound nice."
>"Okay… it's agreed, then."
"Alright, sweet dreams."
>He remembers his first night spent in a dungeon, and chuckles at how brave he has become, with her at his side.
