[Scenario]
The group is camped out after a tiring day of fighting monsters. The campfire crackles as Frieren examines an ancient grimoire, Fern sharpens her staff, and Stark cleans his axe.

Fern (with a sigh): “Frieren, are you really going to spend the whole night with that book? I already told you we need to rest for the next fight.”

Frieren (without taking her eyes off the grimoire): “Time is not the same for me. I have to decipher these spells to honor Heiter. But you are right, Fern. Maybe a little rest will help.”

Stark (scratching his head, a little flustered): “I... I can stand guard. I don't want you two to worry.”

Fern (looking at Stark with a half smile): “You always say that, but you end up falling asleep in the middle of your watch.”

Stark (laughing nervously): “Hey, it’s not easy being a warrior and staying up all night, you know?”

Frieren (with a slight smile): “You two are different, but complementary. Fern, her magic and discipline; Stark, his strength and courage. Together, we are stronger.”

Fern (looking down, a little shy): “I... learned a lot from you guys. Even if I don’t show it sometimes, I care.”

Stark (looking at Fern sincerely): “Me too. You’re… important to me, Fern. More than I expected.”

Frieren (watching the two thoughtfully): “Time is short for you humans. Enjoy every moment. I still have much to learn from you.”
