 * Subaki: Haaah! Ahaah!
 * Avatar: Hmm? You train so vigorously, Subaki.
 * Subaki: Ah, Lord Avatar. What brings you here today? Were you attempting to learn some of my dynamic combat techniques?
 * Avatar: No, Subaki, I just so happened to see you training. I didn't mean to interrupt.
 * Subaki: No need to apologize! Please, feel free to sit down and watch, if you like. My form with weapons is second to none, after all. Perhaps one of my techniques will prove useful to you in the battlefield someday.
 * Avatar: It's certainly possible. I wish I had your dexterity as a fighter. Every movement you make is so assured.
 * Subaki: In that case, why not spar with me? There is no better way to learn and improve.
 * Avatar: Really? Would you mind?
 * Subaki: Of course not! I would do anything in my power to aid Lady Sakura's brother! Besides, I've mastered every class of weapon. Reacting to your moves shouldn't prove overly difficult for me. *grumble*
 * Avatar: Umm? Subaki? Did you hear something?
 * Subaki: N-no, not at all! You must be imagining things, Lord Avatar. *gggrrroooowwwwlllll*
 * Avatar: Wait! There it is again! Goodness, what is that sound?
 * Subaki: It was nothing!
 * Avatar: Subaki... Was that your stomach growling?
 * Subaki: Of course not. Don't be ridiculous.
 * Avatar: Subaki, it's OK. You're just hungry! I'm sorry it took me a moment to understand. Why don't we go get a bite to eat?
 * Subaki: No, that's not it. You don't understand. I was just practicing making my stomach growl to distract my enemy.
 * Avatar: Are you sure? Your face is beet red.
 * Subaki: I'm so humiliated...
 * Avatar: What? Don't be so dramatic. Everyone's tummy growls from time to time. There's no need to be hard on yourself for something so silly.
 * Subaki: I've always been able to avoid failure in every task. This is an obvious sign that my focus is beginning to slip! Lord Avatar. May we postpone our sparring session? I need to redouble my efforts. Farewell!
 * Subaki: He just ran away. Subaki certainly is hard on himself...

 * Avatar: Subaki! Are you there, Subaki?
 * Subaki: *munch* Ah, Lady Avatar! Good afternoon! What's your hurry? *chomp*
 * Avatar: Ahhh, so I see the rumors were true!
 * Subaki: *om nom nom* What rumors are you referring to exactly?
 * Avatar: Everyone has been talking about you eating so much! I heard that you've been constantly munching on something wherever you go. So I got a little worried and wanted to come and find you. No offense, but it really seems like you can't stop shoving food in your mouth.
 * Subaki: Oh, don't be ridiculous. There's no need to trouble yourself over me.
 * Avatar: But there is! You're my comrade. We need to look out for one another. Does this have anything to do with my overhearing your stomach growling?
 * Subaki: Wh-what do you mean...?
 * Avatar: OK, so clearly it does.
 * Subaki: Listen, this is the only way to make sure that my stomach never growls again. If I'm always eating, I'll never be hungry.
 * Avatar: Subaki, you can't keep eating like that! It's not healthy. Besides, it will just make you get bigger and bigger. Then you won't be able to train anymore. I know you wouldn't want that to happen.
 * Subaki: Oh, don't you worry about me. I've already calculated how much food I need to stay in fighting shape.
 * Avatar: Right... But still, I'm concerned.
 * Subaki: I never meant to alarm anyone. Listen, if it really bothers you, I'll give up on my new fitness regimen.
 * Avatar: Good. Trust me, it's for the best.
 * Subaki: But what do I do now? I'd be horrified if someone ever heard my stomach growl again.
 * Avatar: Why are you so worried about what other people think of you? No one would ever judge you for something so trivial anyway.
 * Subaki: I could never talk about that with you, Lady Avatar. Please, excuse me...
 * Avatar: There he goes again... I'd probably better follow him to make sure he doesn't get any other crazy ideas.

 * Avatar: Greetings, Subaki.
 * Subaki: What is it, Lady Avatar?
 * Avatar: I figured that you might still be thinking of ways to avoid getting hungry.
 * Subaki: Yes, I am. The problem is, I'm having a difficult time thinking of another solution.
 * Avatar: I still think you should relax. You don't need to be upset about your tummy making noises.
 * Subaki: I appreciate your opinion. But I simply cannot let that happen again.
 * Avatar: Hmm... Fine. Then at least let me help you figure out a new strategy!
 * Subaki: Huh? What do you mean?
 * Avatar: If you can't stop worrying about this issue, I'd love to help you figure out a solution. There's no reason to torture yourself by overthinking this.
 * Subaki: I couldn't possibly ask that of you!
 * Avatar: I was with you when this all started. I should help you see this problem through to the end.
 * Subaki: Lady Avatar... Fine. But only because you're so insistent. I-I've never had someone behave like that toward me before.
 * Avatar: What do you mean?
 * Subaki: You may not know this about me, but I can't stand to fail in front of people. My goal in life is to achieve perfection in every possible way. Though it's wildly painful to admit, even I sometimes make a mistake. But I never know what to do when that occurs.
 * Avatar: Really?
 * Subaki: Yes. But like I said, this very, very rarely happens to me.
 * Avatar: I know that it's hard to be vulnerable around other people. But I promise, I'm not going to make fun of you. I just want to help.
 * Subaki: I'm no good at getting help when I need it. That's the problem with seeking perfection. You always feel like you have to do everything alone. I have to admit that it feels good to get all of this off my chest.
 * Avatar: Huh. So that's what this has all been about. You just needed a counselor.
 * Subaki: Maybe. So, Lady Avatar... Now that you understand me so well, I'm going to count on you for advice.
 * Avatar: That's fine, Subaki.
 * Subaki: OK! Now that we're agreed, let's start brainstorming! I gotta figure out how to beat my appetite. My newest idea was to eat foods that make you feel really, really full. I brought a bag of snacks, actually. Let me go get them!
 * Avatar: Wait up, Subaki! Well, at least he's not so depressed now.

 * Subaki: Pardon me, Lady Avatar. If you don't mind, may I have a moment?
 * Avatar: Greetings, Subaki. Certainly. Did you need advice on something? I thought we had finally resolved the issue with your stomach growling.
 * Subaki: Yes, indeed. Thank you for your help with that, by the way.
 * Avatar: Oh, there's no need to thank me. You're the one who thought to quiet the sound by flexing your abs.
 * Subaki: Haha... Well, I'll admit that it was a moment of brilliance on my part.
 * Avatar: It was inspired. Anyway, what did you want to talk to me about?
 * Subaki: I need some advice. This is a problem I simply can't solve by myself.
 * Avatar: Oh? Did something bad happen? How can I help you?
 * Subaki: To be honest, I think you're the only person who can solve this issue.
 * Avatar: Why just me?
 * Subaki: Well, the truth is... Lady Avatar, I have very strong feelings for you.
 * Avatar: Wh-what?!
 * Subaki: I'm not surprised at your shock. Not to be arrogant, but I hid my emotions perfectly. But now, there is no way for me to hide them. I needed to tell you.
 * Avatar: I don't know what to say...
 * Subaki: I've often been admired for my tireless pursuit of perfection. But you were the first person to ever really try and know me. With you, I can actually show my whole self. Not just the parts that are perfect. It makes me feel stronger, not having to hide my weaknesses.
 * Avatar: I have to admit something... I like you too.
 * Subaki: R-really?! You mean it?
 * Avatar: Yes. I truly believe we can make each other stronger by being together.
 * Subaki: Lady Avatar... Thank you! I've never felt so lucky in all my life!
 * Avatar: Hehe. Me neither.
 * Subaki: Darling, you're the very picture of perfection. And we're so perfect together...

 * Azura: Hello? Excuse me! Is someone there?
 * ???: Ah! There you are, Princess. Now I've got you!
 * Azura: Wh-who are you?
 * ???: Silence! I'm going to kill you!
 * Subaki: Lady Azura, are you alright? I thought I heard shouting!
 * Azura: Subaki! Help!
 * ???: Gah! Where'd you come from?! You weren't supposed to be here!
 * Subaki: Well, here I am! Now, what are you going to do? You'll never win against me!
 * ???: We'll see about that!
 * Subaki: I've crossed swords with better fighters than you, and I am always victorious! If I were you, I'd run while you still can. The rest of our forces will arrive any moment!
 * ???: Mark my words. I'll be back. The princess better sleep with one eye open!"
 * Subaki: Whew! Well, that's that. Lady Azura, where you injured?
 * Azura: N-no, I'm fine.
 * Subaki: I am shocked that an enemy soldier could sneak so far into our camp! We must revisit our security procedures. I'll find the flaw and fix it. Don't you worry. I'm sure they'd love to kidnap a Hoshidan royal, but I won't let it happen.
 * Azura: Something tells me that's not it.
 * Subaki: What do you mean, milady?"
 * Azura: Never mind. Thanks for coming to my aid, Subaki. I appreciate it.
 * Subaki: Of course!"
 * Subaki: Huh, I wonder what she meant by that...

 * Felicia: Hello, Subaki.
 * Subaki: Hmm?
 * Felicia: Wait, you just froze all of a sudden. Did I do something?
 * Subaki: Oh, um, I'm sorry.
 * Felicia: What is it?
 * Subaki: The truth is, you're notorious for being a very clumsy person. I've even heard a rumor that a whole castle once fell due to your blundering ways. I was worried that being near you might doom me to some awful fate. I felt a little bit scared.
 * Felicia: Th-that's such an awful thing to say! How could you be so horrible? Waaaaaaaah!
 * Subaki: I-I'm sorry... Please, don't cry. Hey, what are you doing with those sheets? Why did you throw them at me? They're still soaking wet! I can't see where I'm going! Ahhhhhhhh!
 * Felicia: Subaki? Are you OK?!
 * Subaki: Urgh... Yeah, I just fell. I didn't want it to be true, but it seems like my fears were valid after all.
 * Felicia: I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you.
 * Subaki: Why would you throw the sheets at me anyway? You just finished washing them!
 * Felicia: I-I shouldn't have done that...

 * Felicia: *sigh* Normally I like to hum a pretty tune while I cook. But I'm just too depressed...  It's all Subaki's fault.  I've been in a terrible mood since the other day.
 * Subaki: *sigh*
 * Felicia: It was so cruel of him to say that my clumsy nature would end up affecting his fate. He doesn't have a single shred of decency.  Still, I suppose I shouldn't have thrown my sheets at him.  That wasn't very kind.  *sigh*  Am I really just a total klutz?
 * Subaki: Felicia, wait! That's not salt!  It's sugar!
 * Felicia: Huh? Ah!  Wow, I was so caught up in my thoughts that I almost ruined the recipe.  Phew!  That was a close call.  But whose voice was that just now?  It sounded so familiar...
 * Subaki: *sigh* We're safe...
 * Felicia: Subaki? Is that you?  Whay are you hiding in the kitchen pantry?  That doesn't look very comfortable.
 * Subaki: Umm, well, I'll be honest... I feel terrible about being so mean to you the other day.  I know that I hurt your feelings, so I thought I'd come see how you were doing.
 * Felicia: So you're hiding because you were embarrassed?
 * Subaki: Well, the truth is that I didn't want to get wrapped up in your clumsiness. I know you can't really help it, but still.
 * Felicia: S-so what you're saying is that nothing has changed at all! You're still treating me like I'm a walking, talking disaster!  I'm going to pour a whole bag of sugar into your dinner, Subaki!
 * Subaki: No, please! Don't do that!
 * Felicia: Well if you don't want a disgusting dinner, you better make it up to me. Now come over and give me a hand!
 * Subaki: H-huh?! What do you mean?
 * Felicia: Do I need to spell it out for you? If you help me with this meal, I'll forgive you.
 * Subaki: All right, fine. Where should I start?

 * Felicia: *humming* Hehehe! Ah!  Good morning, Subaki!
 * Subaki: You seem to be in an awfully good mood today, Felicia.
 * Felicia: How could you tell?
 * Subaki: Your big smile, of course. It's obvious.  So what's going on?
 * Felicia: Remember when you helped me with the cooking the other day? Well everyone has been complimenting me on the meal I made!  They kept saying that I've grown to be a much better cook lately!
 * Subaki: R-really... Is that right?
 * Felicia: No one's ever really complimented me on my cooking before! I feel so flattered!
 * Subaki: Well, I think that's because I was the one who prepared dinner. While I was preparing everything, you tripped and poured flour on my head.  Then I burned my arm protecting you from the hot oil you knocked off the stove.  It was a pretty rough night.
 * Felicia: I'm sorry, Subaki. Were you saying something just now?
 * Subaki: N-no... Nothing at all.  I'm happy to hear that everyone enjoyed your big meal, Felicia.
 * Felicia: Oh, thank you! You should help me out when it's my turn to cook again!
 * Subaki: NO! Please, spare me that fate!
 * Felicia: Subaki, wait! *sigh*  Why did he run away?

S Support

 * Felicia: Thanks for picking up groceries with me, Subaki! Our dinner tonight is going to be even better than last time!
 * Subaki: Yeah... We sure have been spending a lot of time together lately.
 * Felicia: It's wonderful! I haven't been making nearly as many mistakes during my cleaning.  Same goes for the cooking!
 * Subaki: Haha, well that's good to hear! Hmm.  So that's what it is...
 * Felicia: What are you talking about, Subaki?
 * Subaki: I just realized something. I think...I have feelings for you, Felicia.
 * Felicia: R-really? Y-you l-like m-me?!  I can't believe it!
 * Subaki: Are you really so shocked?
 * Felicia: It's just sudden! You really caught me by surprise.
 * Subaki: All this time we've spent together made me realize something. The thing is, I'm perfect.  And I didn't want to be affected by your clumsiness.  But the more I got to know you, to more I enjoyed a bit of chaos.
 * Felicia: Oh, Subaki...
 * Subaki: I've grown to cherish that sweet smile of yours, Felicia.
 * Felicia: I have a crush on you too! I was just afraid to say anything about it.  Spending time together has brought me so much joy.
 * Subaki: I've never met someone whose personality complemented my own so perfectly. You and I make a great team.
 * Felicia: Oh, stop! You're going to make me blush!  I'm so happy, Subaki!
 * Subaki: So am I, Felicia.

 * Subaki: Hello! You must be Mozu, right?
 * Mozu: Yeah, that’s me. You’re Subaki right? The fella everyone says is some kind of genius?
 * Subaki: I see my reputation precedes me. The truth is that I’ve got at least a little room for improvement. But please, if you ever have any questions, I’ll be happy to help in any way I can.
 * Mozu: Well, in that case—
 * Hoshidan: Subaki, sir! Pardon the interruption!
 * Subaki: Did something happen? Speak up, soldier.
 * Hoshidan: One of my allies has a nasty head cold. Is there any remedy that might cure him?
 * Subaki: That’s right, there has been some illness going around camp. It’s simple. Boil jujube leaves and flax together, and have him drink it. He should be feeling better in no time.
 * Hoshidan: U-understood! Thank you, sir!
 * Mozu: I don’t mean to be rude, but there’s a better way to cure that cold.
 * Subaki: Huh? What do you mean?
 * Mozu: Don’t get me wrong. Your recipe will work too. But jujube is awfully pricey. And with the war raging, it’s nearly impossible to find flax in the stores. You have to pick it yourself, assuming that it hasn’t already been taken from the field. The simplest way to cure that cold is to mash plums and scallions together. Then you mix them into a tea. It’s cheap and very effective.
 * Subaki: I’ve never heard of this method before…
 * Mozu: Oh, it’s nothing fancy. A nice old lady from my village showed me how to make it.
 * Subaki: I’m going to run and tell that soldier your solution. Thank you, Mozu.
 * Mozu: It’s no problem. I’m happy to help.
 * Subaki: Clearly I need to spend more time at the library. My knowledge of remedies isn’t as perfect as I thought it to be.
 * Mozu: Hmm. You’ve got a bit of a competitive streak, don’t you, Subaki?

 * Subaki: Greetings, Lady Hinoka.
 * Hinoka: Subaki. How are you today?
 * Subaki: I'm doing perfectly well, as always.
 * Hinoka: I'm glad to hear it. It's been quite some time since last we spoke. We used to talk regularly back when I was in training as a pegasus knight.
 * Subaki: Of course, I remember.
 * Hinoka: I suppose it would be more accurate to say that you were mostly just teaching me.
 * Subaki: Oh, I didn't teach you that much. I simply showed you the simplest way to bond with a pegasus.
 * Hinoka: Back then, I had a well of hate for every aspect of Nohr. I believe the pegasi could feel that anger burning within me. But you showed me how to let go. To calm my burdened spirit.
 * Subaki: Haha, is that right? I feel like you may be giving me more credit than I deserve.
 * Hinoka: No, it's true... You told me that it wasn't about trying to control the pegasus. It was about bonding with the creature. That totally altered my perspective. You also helped open my eyes to the intricate beauty of nature. The rustle of leaves and sounds of chirping birds makes me think of you, even still.
 * Subaki: Is that right? Gods, it seems like a long ago now.
 * Hinoka: I recall those days fondly.
 * Subaki: As do I, Lady Hinoka.

 * Subaki: Oh, Lady Hinoka. We keep bumping into each other lately.
 * Hinoka: Isn't that lucky? Our recent conversation made me recollect on my past as an apprentice.
 * Subaki: Do you remember the night of the storm?
 * Hinoka: I wish I could forget...
 * Subaki: It was a very trying night, to say the least. Lady Sakura had gone missing in the forest.  You and I went out to search for her together.
 * Hinoka: I was angry that we couldn't find her, so I sent out more search parties. But you wanted to minimize our losses.  We... We fought that night.  I lost my temper.  All I could think of was her safety.  I caused a lot of trouble.
 * Subaki: It couldn't have been helped. After all, you were utterly exhausted, Lady Hinoka.  You couldn't help but try to seek her out yourself.  But the storm was raging to the point that the pegasi simply couldn't fly.
 * Hinoka: But you found me. And you charged into the forest on foot and rescued Sakura.
 * Subaki: I just had to concentrate and think where she would have taken shelter. It's lucky that no one was injured that night.  Or worse.
 * Hinoka: We sisters certainly have caused you our fair share of trouble, haven't we? I'm glad that we had a moment to speak about it.  I'll never forget... You've always been dependable, Subaki.  I hope you know I appreciate that.
 * Subaki: Of course. You can always depend on me.

 * Hinoka: I watched you flying pegasi this afternoon, Subaki. Tell me... Are you helping to train this new class of recruits?
 * Subaki: That's right. Many Hoshidan recruits are hoping to become pegasus knights.
 * Hinoka: Pegasus knights... The valiant warriors who soar through the skies. Those brave souls are the backbone of the Hoshidan army.
 * Subaki: Very true. Many of them actually look up to you, Lady Hinoka.
 * Hinoka: Really?!
 * Subaki: It's true. Mere moments ago, I heard one of the troops speaking about you. They admired your graceful fighting style and close relationship with your pegasus. I'm sure none of this comes as much of a surprise to you. I think you're remarkable too.
 * Hinoka: That's kind of you to say. The new recruits greatly admire you as well, Subaki.
 * Subaki: Is that right?
 * Hinoka: Your demeanor and loyalty are the stuff of legend. In their heart, I believe every Hoshidan warrior truly wants to be just like you.
 * Subaki: Oh, you're just trying to flatter me, haha.
 * Hinoka: It's true. We've made our way through a great many hardships together. So much time has passed, and now the troops look up to us. It's almost embarrassing.
 * Subaki: But as representatives of the recruits... no, the whole kingdom of Hoshido... we must do what we can to live up to their hopes and expectations.
 * Hinoka: You're absolutely right. Maybe someday, one of these young recruits will lead the next generation... It's an extraordinary responsibility.
 * Subaki: For the sake of our culture's future, we must be excellent leaders.
 * Subaki: Hello, Lady Hinoka. May I speak to you for a moment?
 * Hinoka: Of course. What is it, Subaki?
 * Subaki: Well, honestly... I wanted your advice on something.
 * Hinoka: You need advice? How unlike you. Please, ask me anything you like. I'm happy to help however I can.
 * Subaki: I appreciate it. So the thing is... I have feelings for someone.
 * Hinoka: What?! YOU need romantic advice?!
 * Subaki: I-I'm sorry, is this inappropriate?
 * Hinoka: No, no, of course not. I'm just a bit ignorant in the ways of love. Surely there must be someone more knowledgeable who can help you.
 * Subaki: You've never known love, Lady Hinoka?
 * Hinoka: No, I can't say that I have.
 * Subaki: You've never had a boyfriend? Or a fiance?
 * Hinoka: N-no, never. Oh, Subaki, why are you making me go on about my lonely life!
 * Subaki: You don't have to be lonely...
 * Hinoka: What do you mean?
 * Subaki: I must admit, it makes me happy to learn that you don't have a boyfriend. I apologize if this is too forward... But would you ever consider seeing me?
 * Hinoka: Subaki!
 * Subaki: I'm sorry. But I must admit that I have feelings for you, Lady Hinoka. Do you recall when we talked about the future? About how those who look up to us will eventually be leaders? I realized that nothing would make me happier than leading together. I hate to think of someone else standing by your side. I know that I'm just a soldier. But know that my feelings are true.
 * Hinoka: Subaki, it's fine. The truth is, I like you too.
 * Subaki: R-really? Are you sure?
 * Hinoka: Considering that you're Sakura's retainer, I didn't want to complicate things. But it would seem that my caution was unnecessary. I wish to spend my days by your side.
 * Subaki: Nothing would make me happier!
 * Hinoka: Together, we can provide encouragement and hope to all of Hoshido. Take my hand, Subaki.
 * Subaki: With pleasure, Lady Hinoka!

 * Subaki: Ah! L-Lady Sakura...! Of course not! I said nothing of the sort.
 * Sakura: Oh, I must have misheard. I've never heard you complain before...
 * Subaki: Well, I've never felt fatigue before... I doubt I would recognize it.
 * Sakura: Subaki, when's the last time you got some sleep? Now that I think about it... You were in that epic battle yesterday. We barely scraped by, and then... Right after that, you attended the strategy meeting, didn't you? And I heard you're commanding the rear troops and organizing all of the supplies...
 * Subaki: That is all true...but as you know, for me, it's a piece of cake!
 * Sakura: I'm not doubting your skills, but please... don't run yourself into the ground, OK?

 * Subaki: I accidentally doubled our weapons order. See? Right here. It should say 10.
 * Sakura: Haha! Is that all? That's OK. It's better to have more weapons than not enough!
 * Subaki: Only an idiot could mess up something so...basic! This is devastating. My perfect record has a blot in it now. I'm finished!
 * Sakura: Now, Subaki...I can think of a few slipups you've recovered from in the past...
 * Subaki: I keep hoping you'll forget that...uh...incident.
 * Sakura: How could I forget your arrival at the castle? You were so splendid! ...And then you fell off of your pegasus...right in front of Hana and me? It was endearing...
 * Subaki: More like embarrassing. You shouldn't delight in other people's misfortunes...
 * Sakura: I-I'm sorry...! At least I didn't laugh like Hana...
 * Subaki: Well, don't get your hopes up. I will never repeat a mistake like that again.

 * Setsuna: Oh. That's because i saw some wild strawberries and mushrooms... See how tasty they look? Would you like a few?


 * Subaki: N-no, i think i'm good for now. But listen, you can't just go off and do things like that. You're a teacher. The new recruits are trying to learn from you, so you can't display bad habits. You could accidentally teach them to fall into traps, like you do.


 * Setsuna: I am quite good at that...


 * Subaki: *sigh* This time, nothing bad happened, but it may not always be that way. You have to take good care of your recruits.


 * Setsuna: I'm sure my recruits will appreciate the food i found, though.


 * Subaki: Setsuna, you're leading them. You need to demonstrate leadership behavior. Good leadership behavior!
 * Setsuna: You're saying i'm a leader?


 * Subaki: Yes, that's exactly what i'm saying.


 * Setsuna: Thank you so much for the compliment, Subaki. No one has ever called me a leader.


 * Subaki: I'm... *sigh* I'm not complimenting you, Setsuna. I'm saying you need to display leadership skills. It's our job to train these recruits. We have to work together. I'm counting on you.


 * Setsuna: OK... I'll do my best...

 * Subaki: Excellent.  I'm looking perfect, as per usual.
 * Hinata: Hello, Subaki. You seem awfully pleased with yourself today.
 * Subaki: Well, well!  Greetings, Hinata!  Yes, I certainly am.  Even by my own impeccable standards, I'm looking remarkably handsome.  It's hard to turn from my own reflection.  I think I'm in love.
 * Hinata: Huh?!  How can you be in love with yourself?  You're the most vain person that I've ever met.  How can you be so narcissistic?
 * Subaki: It's simple.  Appearances are important.  Perfecting one's outward image projects confidence and inner beauty.  And people will always prefer someone clean and neat over a nasty slob.
 * Hinata: I suppose that's true.
 * Subaki: Do you ever put any effort into your appearance, Hinata?
 * Hinata: It isn't my first priority.  I just try to make sure that I'm not stinky.
 * Subaki: That simply won't do!  Are you trying to cast shame on Lord Takumi?  Besides, don't you want women to be interested in you?  You won't be turning any heads without a carefully planned grooming technique.
 * Hinata: R-really? Are you serious?
 * Subaki: Of course I am.  What do you think people's opinions are on your look?  Let me spell it out for you.  "Oh hey, it's Hinata!  He smells like he slept in a barn!"  "Ew, nice bed head!  Ugh, do you ever change that filthy shirt of yours?"  Getting the picture yet?
 * Hinata: Was that supposed to be some kind of stupid miniplay?  You're a terrible actor.  No one in town would say that about me.  What's your problem?
 * Subaki: I'm just trying to help.  Perhaps you're just too simple to understand.
 * Hinata: Geez, why are you being so rude? Listen, I admit that some of what you said makes sense.  I don't want anyone to think I'm gross.
 * Subaki: A clean exterior goes a long way toward winning over other people.  Being clean is more important than being cool.
 * Hinata: Maybe you're right...  OK, Subaki.  Teach me how to make myself handsome, like you!
 * Subaki: So you're interested now, eh?  That didn't take long.  Very well!  I will be sure to painstakingly teach you my techniques.
 * Hinata: Thanks!
 * Subaki: You need to set up a morning grooming routine to look as stellar as I do.  Are you ready to begin?
 * Hinata: Of course!
 * Subaki: First things first, you have to take a bath right after waking up.  Then comb your hair very carefully.  You should also use camellia oil.  It gives your hair a handsome sheen that's bound to draw compliments.
 * Hinata: Camellia oil?  That seems pretty fancy.
 * Subaki: You want to look good, don't you?  Listen, that's just the beginning.  Next comes clothing.  it's important to only wear freshly laundered garments.  Oh, and they can't have any wrinkles.
 * Hinata: None at all?  How is that even possible?  Clothing naturally wrinkles.
 * Subaki: It's simple.  You just have to steam and flatten everything.  Afterward, let them dry.  Be careful about folding each item.  You see, creases can become wrinkles.
 * Hinata: O-OK...
 * Subaki: Why so quiet, Hinata?  I thought you were excited to learn.
 * Hinata: I just realized that this is impossible.
 * Subaki: Huh?  What do you mean?
 * Hinata: Just what I said!  This is IMPOSSIBLE!  Do you really think I can be that meticulous?
 * Subaki: Of course not.
 * Hinata: What?  Then why are you even trying to each me?  Listen, thanks anyway, Subaki.  But I think these lessons are probably pointless.
 * Subaki: Don't be so dramatic.  I like helping out with these kind of things.  There is a perfect teacher right in front of you.  Don't just give up and run away.
 * Hinata: It doesn't matter if you're a great teacher.  Like I said, it's impossible.
 * Subaki: You're not even giving this a chance!  Just stick with me.  This won't seem so difficult once you've got a routine down.
 * Hinata: Wait!  Where are you dragging me now?
 * Subaki: We're starting with step one.  You need to take a bath.  Come on!
 * Hinata: Whaaaaaaaat?!  No, I don't want to!
 * Subaki: Ah, there you are, Hinata!
 * Hinata: Ugh, Subaki. I can't stand to talk about my appearance anymore.
 * Subaki: I had a feeling you might say that.  I guess you just don't have the willpower.
 * Hinata: You're right, I really don't...
 * Subaki: Well, I hope you're looking forward to a lifetime of people talking down to you.  "Here comes that old stink bomb- Hinata!  Geez, has he ever even heard of soap?"
 * Hinata: Stop it with your imitations!  I hate your little miniplays!
 * Subaki: Listen, it's only a matter of time before people start talking to you that way.  Don't give up so easily.  Let's try to cover some more basic grooming techniques.
 * Hinata: Basic stuff, huh?
 * Subaki: Let's take this one step at a time.  I understand that this seems overwhelming.  All you have to do is change things slowly.  That way, it won't feel as daunting while you get used to the new routine.
 * Hinata: Hmm.  Is that really true?
 * Subaki: Of course it is.  For example, you could start flattening your clothing every few days.  That way, you'll have plenty of outfits ready and won't have to do it every morning.  Or you could try and bathe every other day.  Once you get used to these small changes, it won't bother you at all.
 * Hinata: Oh, that actually makes a lot of sense.  Thanks for trying to help me, Subaki.
 * Subaki: It's my pleasure.  Helping you isn't a total waste of my time.
 * Hinata: You really have the worst personality.
 * Subaki: Hahaha.  I cover that with my perfectly charming exterior.
 * Hinata: Ah, I feel like I finally understand you.
 * Subaki: Hinata, that was meant to be a joke.  Never mind, let's head into town.
 * Hinata: Town?  But why?
 * Subaki: We need to pick up some essential items to help maintain your looks.  A mirror, camellia oil, a comb... I wrote a whole list.  It's fairly extensive.
 * Hinata: I changed my mind.  This is going to be way too much work.
 * Subaki: Well, look forward to being teased all the time then.  "There he is- that old be head!"  "He always looks like he just crawled out of a trash heap!"
 * Hinata: All right, fine!  Just stop.  We can go get all the stuff on your list.  But only so that I can make myself look amazing one day to show you up.
 * Subaki: Hahaha, that'll be the day.

 * Hana: Hey, Subaki! I was curious... Do you still go around telling people that you're perfect?
 * Subaki: What's that supposed to mean? And even if I do, it's not like it's a lie.
 * Hana: Do you really think you're 100 percent without any faults at all?
 * Subaki: Hana, if you're trying to say something, just say it instead of dancing around it.
 * Hana: OK, then. If you're perfect, why is it that you fell off your mount when we first met? You did it right in front of me and Lady Sakura--it was actually pretty hilarious. I didn't know it was possible to fly that far from a stationary horse.
 * Subaki: *sigh...* Why is it that you always bring this up? Can't you just let it rest...
 * Hana: Never! I'll remember that for the rest of my life Unless...you go out there and tell everyone in the army about it.
 * Subaki: What is this about? Why are you attacking me out of the blue?
 * Hana: Because, Subaki...every day I hear the same things from people... "Oh, you get to work with that handsome Subaki. You're so lucky." "He's just so perfect and has no faults at all--and you get to be near him." "I bet it's hard to shine with that perfection so close." They say this right to my face!
 * Subaki: I didn't realize people were actually talking that way... I'm so happy to hear that they're praising me!
 * Hana: Ugh! It's not about that at all. Think about how I feel. I don't speak up, and it feels like I'm lying to everyone! Someone who falls off a mount that isn't even moving isn't perfect!
 * Subaki: Hmph...
 * Hana: Are you mad? Don't you have anything to say to prove me wrong? I'm sure Sakura holds the same opinion as I do. She's just too polite to say it.
 * Subaki: Hana, you always ignore the honorific. You must refer to our liege as "Lady" Sakura.
 * Hana: ...Really? Your best comeback is to change the subject? Are you admitting that everything I said about you is true, then?
 * Subaki: No, Hana, I'm not. And I don't think someone who is rude to a fellow retainer is worthy of Lady Sakura!
 * Hana: Oooh, that's it! We have to battle to see which of us is more worthy!
 * Subaki: Sounds good to me! Someone as perfect as myself can't possibly lose!
 * Hana: Grrr! I'll show you!

 * Subaki: That's correct. And then we'll move on to horseback riding.
 * Hana: Right. Each of us gets our specialties, and we'll continue until one of us slips up. Are you ready?
 * Subaki: I'm always ready!
 * Hana: Then it's down to business... En garde! Hraaaagh!!
 * Subaki: Grrr... It's no use--you're too good! Your skill with the sword is, dare I say, better than my own!
 * Hana: Of course it is! Everyone thinking you're perfect is great, but it doesn't make it so! If nothing else, I won't lose to you in a swordplay contest! Hyah! Hragh! Heeyaaa!!
 * Subaki: You've got me on my heels. I can only barely block your attacks... Or...can I?
 * Hana: What do you mea--
 * Subaki: An opening!!
 * Hana: Owwww!! How did that happen? You actually landed a winning blow on me? I can't believe it...
 * Subaki: Hah. You are definitely faster and more agile than I when it comes to the sword. You're clearly one with your blade.
 * Hana: Then...how is this possible?
 * Subaki: Simple--I've been studying you during your training for months. I observed your habits and developed tactics to counter them!
 * Hana: Are you kidding me?!
 * Subaki: I suspected a day would come where we'd face off, so I planned ahead. Whenever you alternate left, right, left, right, you follow with a downward slash. Once I knew the timing, I devised the perfect counterattack!
 * Hana: That's cheating!!
 * Subaki: Not in the least--this was a victory of brains over brawn, plain and simple. What more proof do you need that I am in fact perfect and not just boasting? You should always strategize before a battle. Going in blind is reckless.
 * Hana: Hmph... I hate to admit it, but you're right. You deserve this win.

 * Hana: ...No, that's not the case.

 * Hana: Hah!
 * Subaki: Hrah!!
 * Hana: Haha! I win! Looks like we're back to square one!
 * Subaki: Ugh... How could you... How could you beat me?
 * Hana: My secret is not having fallen off my horse when we first met!
 * Subaki: *sigh...* No matter what I did, my horse couldn't seem to catch up to yours... Did you have some elaborate plan put together in order to beat me?
 * Hana: I didn't have any strategy. You know that I'm the last person to plan ahead in most situations.
 * Subaki: But I got the sense today that you were calmer than usual. There was this strange composure you had... Was that your secret?
 * Hana: I guess I just wasn't concerned about whether I would win or lose. In the end, we were battling over who was the best of Lady Sakura's retainers. We thought that would be best proven in tests of skill, right?
 * Subaki: Yes, I guess so.
 * Hana: But when it comes to serving Lady Sakura... It's more important that we are both able to protect her, not who can do it better. This realization took a a lot of the frustration I was feeling right out of me.
 * Subaki: So that's why you were acting so calm... Horses can sense the demeanor of the rider...and they react to that. I was so wound up and focused on winning, my anxious energy was bothering my horse. But your horse may have felt the calm rolling off you and thus synergized better. You deserve this win...
 * Hana: So...it's a draw, then? Should we keep competing like this?
 * Subaki: No. We have no reason to keep competing. Just like you said, the most important thing for us is to protect Lady Sakura. It's great that we push ourselves to be better, but we don't need a "winner."
 * Hana: I agree. I'm sorry, Subaki. We got into this fight because I was so rude. I shouldn't have injured your pride.
 * Subaki: No, I earned some of the blame as well.
 * Hana: Heehee. You're a kind person, Subaki. I might yet forget you fell off your horse the first time we met.
 * Subaki: Somehow I doubt you'll ever forget that...
 * Hana: Well, I won't tell anyone, at least. Let's be good friends from now on and keep defending Lady Sakura.
 * Subaki: OK, Hana!

 * Subaki: I realized, after our talk, that the whole reason we started competing was...because you brought up the story of me falling off the horse.
 * Hana: Yeah... Sorry again about that.
 * Subaki: I'm not bringing it up to make you feel bad. It's just that that story reminds me of how upset I was for embarrassing myself...in front of you.
 * Hana: Wait, me? Don't you mean Lady Sakura?
 * Subaki: No, it was you I was worried about. I really thought about whether or not to tell you this... But...I really like you. As a teammate of course, but also as something more. If you know what I mean.
 * Hana: Subaki...
 * Subaki: I'm sorry, I just had to tell you this. I doubt you see me as anything more than a teammate...
 * Hana: ...That's not true.
 * Subaki: Huh...?
 * Hana: I also... I really like you too!
 * Subaki: What?! I never knew. So, we both have feelings for each other?
 * Hana: That's right... Heehee.
 * Subaki: Phew, I'm glad I confessed my feelings, then.
 * Hana: It means a lot. I mean, what you said, but also that you openly shared your feelings. I appreciate it.

 * Rinkah: I've been wanting to talk to you about the recent battle. I can't get it out of my head.
 * Subaki: Oh? Why's that?
 * Rinkah: After our enemies began to retreat, you pushed on and pursued them. You kept going quite a distance.
 * Subaki: I didn't chase them that far...
 * Rinkah: No, you did. Even if we attempted to follow, it would have taken a great deal of time to catch up.
 * Subaki: Hmm... Perhaps that's true. It's hard to recall in hindsight.
 * Rinkah: It seemed unnecessarily dangerous, don't you think? What would you have done if a band of archers had been waiting to ambush you?
 * Subaki: I took precautions before giving chase, Rinkah. It wasn't a reckless pursuit.
 * Rinkah: You left yourself open for attack. Even warriors as skilled as yourself could be felled by a stray arrow.
 * Subaki: I strive for perfection in all things. There is no way I would overlook something so crucial. Please, don't concern yourself with my well-being. My tactics are beyond reproach.
 * Rinkah: Heh. How absurd. You court danger at every possible turn. But what do I care? Just do as you please!
 * Subaki: Well that was unexpected. I wonder why she got so upset. I suppose she was simply trying to look out for me. Perhaps I should try and apologize...

 * Subaki: There you are, Rinkah.
 * Rinkah: Oh,Subaki. What brings you here?

 * Rinkah: No, it's all right. I behaved foolishly. Who am I to question your tactics?
 * Subaki: What I meant to say was that my view from the sky gives me an advantage. It's harder to overlook important details on the battlefield.
 * Rinkah: You can survey from the ground too, if you pay keen attention.
 * Subaki: Th-that's true. Tell me, have I upset you once again?
 * Rinkah: No, I'm not angry.
 * Subaki: That's a relief to hear. Making sensible judgement is difficult when the right words escape you. I need to take greater caution when I'm conversing with you, Rinkah.

 * Niles: Nothing at all! What's wrong with you?
 * Subaki: Really? Nothing? I thought you had some terrible childhood or something.
 * Niles: Eh. Some things happened. But that's all in the past. I should be asking you the same question. Did mommy and daddy not pay enough attention to you? Is that why you're so desperate for constant approval?
 * Subaki: I don't remember.
 * Niles: Oh, please. Surely you remember something. Childhood trauma is pretty common.
 * Subaki: I'm sure my childhood was perfect.

 * Subaki: Hey, come on, now. Don't say that! Of course you can train with me.
 * Caeldori: No. You're too gentle on me. You never give me honest feedback. Even when my thrusts are weak, or my balance is off, or I step too wide. Even if I were to fall on my backside, you'd probably just say I did it gracefully. But if you always do that, then I'll never perfect my technique.
 * Subaki: Caeldori, why are you obsessed with being perfect?
 * Caeldori: What?
 * Subaki: Answer me. What is it that's driving you?
 * Caeldori: I-er... It's you, Father. I want to be a fighter you can be proud of.
 * Subaki: Well, if that's the case, don't sweat it. I am already proud of you. And your fighting skills truly are remarkable. I'm not just saying that. I think whatever idiosyncrasies and flaws you might have only add to your power. There's value in having a unique style. You can surprise your enemies, for one thing. Well, as long as there aren't any amateur mistakes. Those will get you killed. But you're no amateur, Caeldori. I promise.
 * Caeldori: But I-
 * Subaki: You shouldn't be so concerned with perfection. It's a dream. A myth. You're fine just the way you are. More than fine. You are an outstanding young woman.
 * Caeldori: Father...
 * Subaki: Don't get me wrong. You shouldn't stop training so hard on my account. But you shouldn't continue to do it simply to impress me- or anyone else. If you try to be perfect for everyone else, it will destroy you inside. That's not something I want for you.
 * Caeldori: ...Do you find it difficult to appear perfect sometimes, Father?
 * Subaki: Haha! Very perceptive of you. I suppose it might get trying from time to time, sure.
 * Caeldori: Well, whatever the case may be, know you don't have to put up a front around me. You're my father. My esteem for you will not diminish so easily.
 * Subaki: Caeldori... Thank you. But don't worry about me too much. Just take care of yourself, OK?
 * Caeldori: I see... Very well then. Thank you, Father. Well, let's call it a day. Would you like to get something to eat with me? I know a particularly good place in a town not far from here.
