As we end our journey with Daine, we unpack our feelings about Daine and Numair’s relationship, visit our Character Building workshop to talk about some character-unbuilding (maybe?), reminisce about Dragon Times History Class, and make a determined effort to keep our Friendship Moments section upbeat. Also, as always: what’s up with Faithful?

The discussion of Daine and Numair’s relationship runs from 4:30 – 33:30, if you’d like to skip it.
