After all, he believes the dragon is only staying away because it doesnt feel like it.
The scar on his head is from a strike from Eisen, not a monster.
She remembers her first monster battle, when her knees went weak and her hands trembled.
She believes Stark has that same kind of resolve to protect the villagers.
Theres a fun little moment when it appears Stark fled the next morning.
Eisen wasnt shy about the reason: he was afraid.
Fear isnt a bad thing; its why he was there on that journey.
Hearing this helps firm up Starks resolve.
As Stark closes to fighting range with the giant dragon, Frieren wears a look of supreme confidence.
Eisen would later tell her that he hit him reflexively, because in that moment, hefearedhim.
Eisen knew after his time training Stark that he would one day become a magnificent warrior.
Its a beautifully animated and orchestrated battle, but its a quick one.
That said, if Stark is to be believed, she could well just be messing with him!
Frieren decides to go shopping on her own, leaving Stark and Fern alone once again.
When she appears to reject his offer to grab a bite, he goes off on his own.
Fern ends up following him there after overhearing that the gate could be closed fortwo years.
ButStark?He understands that two years in this place is far too long.
Stark and Fern have a wonderful chemistry, and I found every interaction between them quietly captivating.
Take when theyre atop the city walls looking to the north their masters once braved.
Stark doesnt just want to hurry up because hes a human and human lives are fleeting.
But like Fern and Stark, Im glad theyre getting right back on the road.
Danger certainly awaits, but so too does more fun and ridiculousness.
