Shulk's Scrapbook

What's On Reyn's Mind

Can I tell you something? When I heard you call Juju ‘kid,’ it made me smile.

It did? I thought you were gonna shout at me or something!

No. Actually, when you got angry at Juju, it reminded me of Gadolt. That’s why it made me smile.

Ah, so it’s about Gadolt. Hey, between me and Gadolt, who would win a fight?

You, by a whisker.

I knew it! Me all the way, baby!

Yeah, that thick head of yours could withstand anything!

Thick head...? Oi!

What? Did I say something wrong?

...

I was joking, Reyn! Don't be so serious all the time.

But you said it's only 'cos of my thick head.

That's one reason! I didn’t say it was the only reason!

Then what else have I got?

You have... dignified qualities.

Dignified qualities? What do you mean by that? Come on, Sharla. Tell it to me straight.

Umm... how can I put this? You're... like a father figure.

A father figure?

Yeah. And I thought maybe you'd be Juju’s father one day.

Hang on. If I'm Juju’s dad, that'd make Sharla my daughter! And that ain't right at all!

What, you didn't believe me, did you? Gotcha!

I... What... No, course not! Haha... Umm... nice one!

You make me laugh, Reyn. You're so red in the face, I could swear you and Gadolt are related.

Really? I guess that almost sounds like a compliment.

I like chatting with you, Reyn. And... I'm glad I met you as well.

Sure. Me too, Sharla.

Er... give me a second.

I know this one... Let me think. There’s that... but no. Hang on...

OK, very funny. I get it.

Sorry, Reyn! Why is it you can never think of these things when you need to?

Sharla? Are you so old you’re losing your memory?!

Huh? What was that? You say something?

Oh, don’t worry. It’s nothing.

I’ll tell you what... If it comes back to me, I’ll let you know.

But I wanna know now!

Don’t be such a baby, Reyn!

Gadolt, of course!

Oh, great! That’s really nice of you, Sharla.

He’s the best shot on Bionis! He’d snipe you before you had time to tie your shoelace.

Come on, Sharla! In a straight up fight, no one can beat me!

True. A punch from you would send anyone to A&E for a week! Anyway, who’s going to start a fight with the mighty Reyn?

Umm... there is someone, kinda... Someone I’ve never won a fight against...

Hehehe, I know!

A girl beat you up!

All right, I admit it. It’s Fiora. I don’t stand a chance against her. It’s been years of humiliation. I’d start winning, and she’d cry and run off to Dunban!

I can guess how that turned out! I used to give Gadolt a what for too, actually. He always gave in.

Are all guys that soft on girls?

All you need to know is this. Girls always win, Reyn. Always. But it’s easier when the guy’s as kind as you or Gadolt.

Me? Kind? I mean... thanks! That’s, uh... the first time anyone’s called me that. You sure?

Reyn, I’m complimenting you here! Shut up and be grateful!

G-got it. Umm... This feels like a fight with Fiora. Let’s quit while we’re ahead.

I’ll take that as a good sign, Reyn.

You better! ‘Cos we’ll probably have a few more like this.

You don’t mean Shulk?

Umm... not Shulk. Shulk would never take me on.

You’re probably right. He’s too puny to beat you.

There was this one time, though. We got into a scuffle. He ain’t got my size or build, but his jab is quick and powerful.

I see. Sounds like a good tactic for Shulk. A clever fighter always uses his head to defeat an opponent.

Hey! I can use my head in a fight! Just not always my brain...

You might not be the quickest thinker, but you act decisively.

Right? I’m no sharp-shooter, like Gadolt, but I’ve got my own style. You can look to me when you’re in a jam, Sharla. I’ll be there.

I know you will. I won’t forget.
