Jaune

Hive, Jaune’s Gallery

[First talk]

Jaune: ...So you've finally come crawling back.

Vi: ...Jaune.

Kabbu: Miss, we-

Leif: Let's give the two of them some space, Kabbu.

(minibubble) Kabbu: O-Okay.

Jaune: What do you want? I'm busy. The Queen's commissioned me for a birthday piece.

Jaune: That horrendous art you hate so much is doing quite well!

Vi: T-That's uh, really cool. My team and I had this cool mission at the factory.

Jaune: The factory? You're the one who solved the lockdown? N-Not that I'm impressed.

Jaune: So you managed to squeeze your way into an exploration team. Color me shocked.

Jaune: Didn't expect it from such a petite child.

Vi: You're still gonna treat me like a kid!?

Jaune: Yes! If only I was crass enough to treat you with half the disrespect you've shown me your whole life!

Vi: I came to say sorry, but you're making it really hard!

Jaune: I do not want your empty apologies! You seem to be doing quite well anyways, ain't you?

Jaune: Just go. Play with your team or whatever. I've got my issues to solve.

Vi: S-Seriously? You're kicking me out!? I'm saying sorry!

Jaune: I've got to finish this piece, but I can't find any red paint.

Jaune: That's all I can afford to worry about now. I certainly can't waste my time…

Jaune: With a mean, greedy, selfish child like you!

Vi: FINE! YOU'RE DUMB ANYWAYS! I was even gonna say your art got better!

Jaune: You've said enough about my art for a lifetime, Vi. Just leave me alone!

Kabbu: T-This isn't going well…

Vi: WE'RE LEAVING.

Leif: Vi…

Vi: NOW!

[before getting paint]

Jaune: Shoo! I'm busy! Go play with your team or something!

[walk in, after getting paint]

Vi: Can you two wait here?

Leif: Are you sure you don't need backup?

Kabbu: We've got your back!

Vi: It's ok. I think I gotta do it myself. Just wait a bit!

Jaune: Vi! I didn't expect you to come back…

Jaune: It seems I wasn't clear enough during our last exchange!

Jaune: You've hurt me deeply, I'm busy, and someone uncaring like yo-

Jaune: Mother of all bees! That's...

Vi: Some super premium, Golden Settlement red paint!

Jaune: You've gone and gotten it to rub your riches in my face!?

Vi: Nope. Just gonna leave it here.

Vi: I'm sorry, Jaune. I hope your painting comes out good.

Vi: I'll get going now...

Jaune: Wait just one moment!

Vi: Y-Yeah?

Jaune: Red paint is off season, and hugely requested as it is.

Jaune: I know you didn't just walk into a store for it…

Jaune: Why make an effort after I've gone and shouted at you?

Vi: I woulda done it faster if you'd been nice and asked!

Jaune: …

Vi: I AM sorry I said you draw like a weevil. And all the other stuff.

Vi: You weren't believing me, so I had to go EVERYWHERE for the darn paint!

Jaune: Violet…

Vi: B-But if I can say something, you were mean to me too!

Vi: I had dreams and you stomped over them!

Vi: I'm doing great! I've gone to many places and beat up huge monsters!

Vi: If...if you had any faith in me I could've done it sooner!

Jaune: I…

Jaune: .......

Jaune: I was quite inconsiderate, wasn't I? My little sister…

Jaune: Please forgive me.

Vi: Only if you forgive me back!

Jaune: ...It's settled then. Welcome home.

Vi: Jaune!

Jaune: I missed you... But I felt if I let things slide it wouldn't be right.

Vi: I don't wanna be a jerk, but I didn't miss the Hive at all.

Vi: ...I did miss you just a little bit.

Jaune: Could you step out with your friends for a few minutes?

Jaune: There's something I've got to finish. And that I want to show you.

Vi: Oh, uh. Okay. I'll go tell them!

[reenter room]

Jaune: Welcome! It's good to see you all again.

Kabbu: Um yes. Let us leave last time behind us.

(minibubble) Leif: Pleased.

Vi: What's the thing you were finishing? The Queen's present?

Jaune: Not at all. This one will make her painting look dull.

Jaune: I've had this project for a long time, but not the heart to finish it…

Jaune: I'm grateful I get to show it to you.

Vi: Stop hyping it up! I wanna see it!

Jaune: Hehehe. Oh, what a great audience! Get ready!

Jaune: I call this... "A Bond Thicker Than Honey"!

(minibubble) Leif: ...A-Aww...

(minibubble) Kabbu: S-sniff...!

Jaune: Hohoho! Its beauty moves you to tears!

Vi: Jaune...

Vi: You're really the best artist in the Hive!

Jaune: And you its best explorer!

Jaune: Let's not fight again, alright?

Vi: Never!

Textbox: Vi can now use the Sharing Stash skill in battle!

Jaune: Hey, Vi. I AM a bit busy with the Queen's Gift, but...If you want, you can all rest here!

Textbox: Thanks!

No Thanks!

[Ending]

[finished Vi’s request]

Jaune: Vi...you're the best explorer ever, you know that?

Vi: I'm gonna need a huge painting! From the most talented artist in the Bee Kingdom!

Vi: When can you start making it?

Jaune: Ahahaha! Oh gosh, Vi! Go to your ceremony already!

[before quest]

Kabbu: So this is Vi's sister…

(minibubble) Vi: ...

Leif: All bees are sisters, aren't they?

Kabbu: Well, yes. But even in a huge colony, some get more attached to others.

Leif: We guess so. No point in thinking about it too much.

[post-quest]

Vi: So...yeah. Jaune's my sis.

Leif: All bees are sisters, aren't they?

Vi: Well, yeah. But I grew up with her! So we're special sisters!

Kabbu: In a way, it seems bees do choose their family...
