 * Kaze: *sigh*
 * Avatar: Is something wrong, Kaze? And, um... what's with all those radishes?
 * Kaze: Ah, Lord Avatar. Greetings. A young lady gave me these radishes as thanks for helping her find her way.
 * Avatar: Looks like we're having a radish feast tonight! That's pretty great, right?
 * Kaze: I must disagree. It is not "great."
 * Avatar: No? What's the matter? Do you have something against radishes?
 * Kaze: It feels wrong being rewarded for such a simple kindness of giving directions. This is not the first time something like this has happened, either...
 * Avatar: It's...not?
 * Kaze: I can't figure out why, but... I find I'm often approached by women who wish to speak with me or give me things.
 * Avatar: Oh, is that so?
 * Kaze: It gets worse. If I speak even a few words, they'll often start shrieking or hugging me. Sometimes they'll give me letters or garments of clothing or, like today, food. None of our allies act that way, of course. Just strangers. it's...frustrating.
 * Avatar: Hehehe, it sounds to me like you're just popular with the ladies!
 * Kaze: Popular? With...the ladies?
 * Avatar: Exactly. Those women are just...well, they're curious about you. It's because you're kind yet mysterious. Being a ninja doesn't hurt either. In fact, when I was in town the other day, I overheard one of the local women. She said, "That sorrowful look on Kaze's gorgeous face is waaay too dreamy!"
 * Kaze: Argh, I wish you hadn't told me that. I appreciate the praise, but... I would prefer to focus on my duties and keep such sill distractions to a minimum.
 * Avatar: Hahaha, you're so serious all the time. Most men dream of this kind of attention!
 * Kaze: I'm simply behaving as any self-respecting ninja should. That's all there is to it. In any case, they are mistaken. I'm not a good man.
 * Avatar: Why would you say that?
 * Kaze: ...It's nothing. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have an urgent matter to attend to.
 * (Kaze Leaves)
 * Avatar: Gone, just like that! Ninjas are so cool... But I wonder what he meant by that...Why does he think he's not a good man?

 * Avatar: Kaze, I have a request. I'd like to follow you around for a while.
 * Kaze: You know I don't mind your company, but may I ask why? Have I done something amiss?
 * Avatar: What?! No! Nothing like that! I thought it would be a good way to point out all the charming things about you!
 * Kaze: Hm? Why would you want to do that?
 * Avatar: I've been worried about you... Ever since you told me you weren't a good person. It sounded like something's really been bothering you, and I want to help. I want you to see all the good in you!
 * Kaze: That's...
 * Avatar: So! What do you say?
 * Kaze: I thank you for your concern, but I am fine, really. Now, if you'll excuse me...
 * Avatar: Kaze! Hang on! Aaand he's gone. Hm... But I bet he's still close by... I'm not gonna give up so easily! Kaze! Kazeeeee! Where are you?! Kaze! Come on! Don't just leave me out here!
 * Kaze: Hmph.
 * Avatar: KAAAAAAAZEEEEE!
 * Kaze: Lord (Avatar).
 * Avatar: There you are! Ha! I knew you couldn't hide from me!
 * Kaze: I would prefer it if you didn't scream like that. What if there were enemies nearby? Never give away your position when isolated from the main body of the army. Please, for all our sakes, try to refrain from such behavior in the future.
 * Avatar: Oh. Yes. You're right. I'm sorry. I just wanted to find you so badly. Thank you for coming back. I know you did it because you were worried for my safety. Which just goes to show how good of a guy you are!
 * Kaze: Why do you insist on saying such things?
 * Avatar: Huh?
 * Kaze: Please, stop. Just leave me alone.
 * Avatar: Kaze!
 * Kaze: ... My apologies, my lord. I should not have spoken to you so rudely.
 * Avatar: No, no, this is all my fault. I've been pestering you too much. I'm sorry, Kaze.
 * Kaze: Lord (Avatar)! ...

A Support

 * Kaze: Lord (Avatar). I wish to apologize for hurting your feelings the other day.
 * Avatar: Hm? Oh, you mean when you got mad about me following you around? Don't worry about it. It was my fault anyway. I'm sorry for bothering you, Kaze.
 * Kaze: ...You have a kind heart, Lord (Avatar).
 * Avatar: You think so?
 * Kaze: ...
 * Avatar: Kaze?
 * Kaze: Lord (Avatar), there's something I haven't told you about myself. Something for which I cannot be forgiven, no matter how much I wish to repent.
 * Avatar: Huh?
 * Kaze: I am a worthless servant. It is my fault that you were kidnapped and taken to Nohr.
 * Avatar: Your fault? What did you do?
 * Kaze: We had all traveled to Cheve that day, and I noticed Nohrian forces in the city. The same forces that would later kill Sumeragi and take you away. But I was young, and I didn't know what their presence meant...so I said nothing.
 * Avatar: It's not your fault, Kaze. You were a child! How could you have known what would happen?
 * Kaze: I come from a long line of ninja that have always served the Hoshidan royalty... I was trained from an early age. If anyone should have understood, it was me. For such incompetence, I should have paid with my life. There's no way I can ever heal the suffering I've caused you and your birth family. I should not even be allowed to speak with you... I am so sorry, Lord (Avatar).
 * Avatar: Stop! You did nothing wrong! If anything, I should be apologizing to you!
 * Kaze: Milord?
 * Avatar: I'm so sorry, Kaze. You must have been tortured by this for years... I never knew...and I've acted so inconsiderately towards you. But...I think now is the time to forgive and to move on. We can't allow the rest of our lives to be defined by past mistakes. Besides, you were the one who returned me, were you not?
 * Kaze: Returned you?
 * Avatar: Yes. It was you who traveled to the Flame Tribe in order to bring me back. And you were the one by my side when I returned to Hoshido. It was you, Kaze. You gave me a chance to be with my birth family again.
 * Kaze: But--
 * Avatar: Kaze, you are not at fault. And even if you were, you have repaid your debt to me. So, please, let us never speak of this again. Will you promise me that?
 * Kaze: ...
 * Avatar: Well?
 * Kaze: ...Yes. I promise.
 * Avatar: Good.
 * Kaze: Heh.
 * Avatar: Are you...laughing at me?!
 * Kaze: It's just...you remind me so much of Lady Mikoto. It warms my heart.
 * Avatar: I remind you of my mother? How so?
 * Kaze: When Lady Mikoto became queen, she forgave me and allowed me to serve her. I wonder if she somehow foresaw that her child would do the same one day. Perhaps you are the one I was always meant to serve.
 * Avatar: Hm? What do you mean?
 * Kaze: As you must have noticed, all members of Hoshido's royal family have two retainers. These retainers are chosen from the best of the castle soldiery. When the time is right, they pledge their allegiance to a single lord. For example, Orochi and Reina both served the late Queen Mikoto. Subaki and Hana serve Lady Sakura. Hinata and Oboro serve Lord Takumi. Azama and Setsuna serve Lady Hinoka. And Kagero and my twin brother, Saizo, serve Lord Ryoma.
 * Avatar: Wait. So that means...
 * Kaze: Yes. Though I have served the royal family for some time. I serve no single master. I've always been troubled by this fact, but perhaps Lady Mikoto arranged it...so that someday, when the time was right, I could serve you, Lord (Avatar). If you will have me, then I will pledge myself to you.
 * Avatar: I...!
 * Kaze: Do you accept?
 * Avatar: Kaze... I do. I accept.
 * Kaze: Now, as your retainer, I hereby vow to protect you with my life.
 * Avatar: Thank you. I pray it never comes to that, my friend.

 * Kaze: Lady Avatar. Where are you headed?
 * Avatar: Hello, Kaze. I was just going out for a little stroll.
 * Kaze: If you don't mind, I would like to come with you.
 * Avatar: Oh, Kaze. Don't be silly. Spending a few seconds alone won't get me kidnapped.
 * Kaze: Lady Avatar, I have realized something since I became your retainer. You find immerse satisfaction in teasing others about their past failures.
 * Avatar: I wouldn't say "immense" satisfaction... Besides, I've hardly had a moment alone since you made your pledge. If we couldn't introduce a little levity to our relationship, I think I'd go crazy.
 * Kaze: ...
 * Avatar: Oh, quit your pouting.
 * Kaze: I am not "pouting."
 * Avatar: Heehee, are you sure? I think I'd know better. I AM your liege, am I not?
 * Kaze: Haha, I suppose you are.
 * Avatar: I really am blessed.
 * Kaze: Pardon?
 * Avatar: I feel I've gotten to see a whole new side of you, spending all this time together. You smile so much more than I thought you would. And you can be pretty funny. And...when I see you fighting so hard for me...I feel so grateful. You are such a loyal, good man, Kaze.
 * Kaze: ... You are a cruel mistress, milady.
 * Avatar: What? But I was complimenting you!
 * Kaze: You make me want to say things... Things best kept to myself.
 * Avatar: Oh? Like what?
 * Kaze: I have pledged myself to you as your retainer. I am your servant and your bodyguard. Therefore, under no circumstances am I allowed to say what I am about to. I love you, Lady Avatar.
 * Avatar: Oh!
 * Kaze: I have sworn to serve and protect you. And I would give my life to preserve your own. But...while duty would be enough, it is not for duty alone that I made these vows. I made them because I do not think a life without you would be worth living. Is there any chance that you would honor me with your love?
 * Avatar: *sniffle*
 * Kaze: Lady Avatar?! Why are you crying?
 * Avatar: I'm sorry...I'm just so filled with joy, I can't help it.
 * Kaze: Joy?
 * Avatar: Yes! Don't you see? I feel the same way about you! I want to be with you. I love you Kaze. I will consent to be yours if you will be mine in return.

 * Azura: Hello, Kaze.
 * Kaze: Milady, are you talking to me? To what do I owe this honor?
 * Azura: Goodness. You make it sound like I've never spoken to you before!
 * Kaze: Well, every time we've talked, I've been the one who initiated the conversation.
 * Azura: Is that so?
 * Kaze: Yes. In fact, all of our conversations have been limited to me delivering messages. But I never took it personally. I know you prefer to avoid people if you can help it.
 * Azura: You know how to put it quite plainly, don't you?
 * Kaze: I am sorry! I didn't mean to be so blunt, milady. How rude of me!
 * Azura: That's all right. You spoke the truth. I need to ask you a favor.
 * Kaze: Consider it done. I will grant anything milady requests.
 * Azura: But I haven't even told you what it is!
 * Kaze: It is my duty to obey without hesitation. Please, tell me how I may be of service.
 * Azura: Why don't you follow me? I'll explain on the way...

 * Kaze: Hm? Mozu, what are you doing sitting all alone by the river?
 * Mozu: Oh, hey there, Kaze. I'm just peeling and washing these potatoes.
 * Kaze: I see. In that case, would you mind if I helped you?
 * Mozu: Oh, no, that's OK. Really! This is my job.
 * Kaze: Nonsense. I've nothing better to do, and I'm really quite good at it. I promise.
 * Mozu: What? You are?
 * Kaze: I am. Here, just give me one of those, and... One, two, three...
 * Mozu: Gosh, you're fast. It looks like you might even be better than me...
 * Kaze: I used to cook a lot. Strange as it sounds, it was part of my training regimen. Oddly enough, my master also had me paint fences and polish armor. Household chores have a prominent role in Hoshidan martial-arts training.
 * Mozu: I see... And here I was thinking I must be the best potato peeler in camp. Tell you the truth, it's a little disheartening to get one-upped like this...
 * Kaze: I see. Well...if you'd ever like my help, please don't hesitate to ask. I'll teach you everything I know about the preparation of root vegetables.
 * Mozu: You'd do that for me? Thanks, Kaze! I appreciate it. I'll hold you to that though, you hear?
 * Kaze: Yes, of course.

B Support

 * Mozu: Hmm?
 * Kaze: Mozu? Is something the matter?
 * Mozu: Well, I'm peeling these potatoes the way you showed me, but it's not working...
 * Kaze: That's all right. If you practice a little while longer, I'm sure you'll master it. It's not something that can be learned overnight. Just like combat training.
 * Mozu: Like combat training?
 * Kaze: Yes. You build a foundation by practicing every day. You work it into your muscles. Then, using that foundation, you move on to advanced techniques. It's the same with cooking. You've got to work on the basics until they're mastered.
 * Mozu: Yeah, I guess that makes sense.
 * Kaze: All it takes is practice. You'll be peeling potatoes like lightning in no time at all.
 * Mozu: Yeah! I guess I wasn't so good at cooking when I first started. But I just kept at it, and now I'm a pretty decent chef. I just gotta treat peeling potatoes the same way!
 * Kaze: That's the spirit. I'm glad you're feeling better.
 * Mozu: I owe it all to you! Thanks, Kaze!
 * Kaze: It was nothing, Mozu. I am happy to help.

 * Mozu: Got a second, Kaze?
 * Kaze: Of course. What do you need?
 * Mozu: I feel like I finally got the hang of peeling potatoes like you showed me. So...how about we have a potato-peeling contest?
 * Kaze: You want a rematch, eh?
 * Mozu: Yep! Only reason I wanted to learn in the first place was so I could beat ya!
 * Kaze: Very well. I accept.
 * Mozu: Thanks, Kaze! OK, let's get started then. Let me just set things up...
 * Kaze: Certainly.
 * Mozu: OK... Ready...set...GO!
 * Kaze: Such power! Such speed! Is this truly the same Mozu?!
 * Mozu: I'm not gonna lose again! Grrrrrr!
 * Kaze: Hyah! Hyah! Hyah!!
 * Mozu: Gah! There! All done!
 * Kaze: That...was incredible. You are truly a virtuoso potato peeler, Mozu. I admit defeat.
 * Mozu: Really? Yahoo! I did it!
 * Kaze: You're such a hard worker. I can't wait to see how you improve next. Before long, we'll have a world-renowned chef on our hands.
 * Mozu: Aw, shucks! No need for flattery now.
 * Kaze: And you'll no doubt improve in other areas as well. I know it. Anything you set your mind to, you can achieve.
 * Mozu: Well...I just want to be stronger.
 * Kaze: Stronger?
 * Mozu: Yeah! Out there on the battlefield... I still don't feel like I fit. I'm barely able to keep up with all y'all.
 * Kaze: Mozu...
 * Mozu: But talking to you always cheers me right up! And thanks to you, I know what to do! I just need to practice the fundamentals, every day, until I'm an expert fighter!
 * Kaze: I'll be rooting for you. What's more, I'll train with you. If you'll allow me.
 * Mozu: Thanks, Kaze! I'll be counting on you!

 * Mozu: Oh! There you are, Kaze!
 * Kaze: Hello, Mozu. What have you got in that pot?
 * Mozu: Soup! I made it to thank you for helping me out so much. Would you be willing to try it right now?
 * Kaze: Of course. It smells delicious. You came at the perfect time--I'm famished.
 * Mozu: Don't get too excited! It's just some potato stew. Not any of that fancy stuff the royals you're always with are used to eating.
 * Kaze: An appropriate dish, given all that potato peeling you've been doing. Hmm... Mozu! This is delicious!
 * Mozu: Heehee! You like it? I'm right tickled.
 * Kaze: I love it. It's...relaxing. Something about it reminds me of you. Warm and comforting. Not too showy, but plenty of character. It's good, strong, homemade food.
 * Mozu: Teehee. Thanks!
 * Kaze: Yes. If I could eat such food every day, I would be the happiest man alive.
 * Mozu: If it would make you that happy...I could cook for you every day!
 * Kaze: Oh, no. I couldn't ask that of you. It would be far too much work.
 * Mozu: No! Not at all! Maybe if it were for anyone else...but not for you.
 * Kaze: Mozu...
 * Mozu: You've been helping me out so much lately! It would kill me to be unable to repay you! And besides...I...have feelings for you, Kaze. I want you to be mine.
 * Kaze: What?! Truly? I don't know what to say. Thank you, Mozu. You've made me so happy.
 * Mozu: H-happy? You mean...you feel something for me, too?
 * Kaze: Yes. You are one of the most honest, hardworking people I have ever met. I would like nothing more than to remain by your side forevermore. I love you, Mozu.
 * Mozu: Oh, Kaze! It's like a dream come true!
 * Kaze: I feel the same way, my love.

 * Saizo: ...What?
 * Kaze: Well, of course I understand why you want to kill the man who murdered our father... But you've been... consumed by it. I was wondering if there might be more to it...
 * Saizo: I don't know what you're talking about.
 * Kaze: Is there something besides avenging Father? Besides protecting Lord Ryoma...? You have so much bloodlust. You don't fight our foes as much as slaughter them! What could cause my brother to mercilessly cut people down like a man possessed?
 * Saizo: It's nice of you to be concerned. You're a good brother, Kaze. It does seem like vengeance and Lord Ryoma are all I have... But as you say... there might be something else fueling my anger.

 * Kaze: Yes. I believe such training could make you an invaluable asset to Lady Hinoka.
 * Setsuna: That sounds wonderful... Would you be willing to train me, Master Kaze?
 * Kaze: Huh?
 * Setsuna: I wish to be useful to Lady Hinoka. Please, teach me.
 * Kaze: Hm... Yes, very well. I will teach you everything I know.
 * Setsuna: Thank you. I'm counting on you.
 * Kaze: I won't let you down.

 * Oboro: Aw, you're making too much of it. I just felt like a project!
 * Kaze: Hm? Did you see something move?
 * Oboro: Huh? I didn't see any - GAAAAAAH!

 * Oboro: S-s-something just scurried over my foot!
 * Kaze: Stay calm, Oboro. It was probably only a mouse.
 * Oboro: A...a mouse...??
 * Kaze: This is a pantry. I wouldn't be surprised to find a few in here.
 * Oboro: Good point.
 * Kaze: It is a problem, though. If we don't take steps, they'll get into the food.

 * Kaze: Pardon, Oro--
 * Orochi: Eeeep! Oh. It's only you, Kaze. Please don't sneak up on me like that. You could be an assassin for all I know.
 * Kaze: Hmm, yes. My apologies. I came only to inform you of some minor camp business.
 * Orochi: Next time, could you say yoo-hoo or something? Give a girl a warning!
 * Kaze: A ninja is as ninja does. It's my instinct to speak from an invisible position. Once more, my apologies.
 * Orochi: Do what you will with everyone else. But with me -- think twice.
 * Kaze: A ninja must act so fast, it defies count. I may not even think once.
 * Orochi: Well, congratulations to you for being faster than an abacus. Still, I'll warn you here and now. Don't do that again. Hmm. On the other hand, Kaze, rather than asking your discretion... I think I'll take this opportunity to defend myself against you.
 * Kaze: There's no need. Consider me scolded. I'll do my best to --
 * Orochi: Oh, no. We're doing this my way. I'll fight instinct with intuition. I'm going to make myself learn how to detect your stealthy approach.

 * Kaze: I can't play this game with you anymore. Orochi. I scare you every time. I have trained for years in the ways of stealth. You cannot expect to detect me so soon. Why, look how weary you are!
 * Orochi: Shush. Orochi will not be defeated so easily. I will learn to do this.
 * Kaze: Or you will collapse in a nervous wreck. Ninja are simply not seen.
 * Orochi: We will play this game until it is done. I do not quit.
 * Kaze: So, if you are committed to our game of cat and mouse... I have proposal.
 * Orochi: I'm listening.
 * Kaze: This cat will wear a bell, the better for the mouse to hear me.
 * Orochi: You'll actually wear a bell? Hmm, not bad. But it had better be a bell that rings ever so slightly.
 * Kaze: Slightly it is. That will help you hear me at the threshold of perception. Mind you, I won't wear it in battle. Only during our games.
 * Orochi: We aren't done yet today. Go strap on a bell, Kaze. I'll be listening for you.
 * Kaze: I'm glad to serve, Orochi. Nice also to see you in better spirits.

 * Kaze: Glad to do so. But I think you no longer need me to wear it. Your diligence has given you the ear of a ninja.
 * Orochi: Then perhaps it's time to turn the tables, Kaze. Meow, meow, meow?
 * Kaze: Pardon? I'm afraid you have caught me off guard there. Meow, did you say?
 * Orochi: Your days of creeping up on me are over. Now... I can pounce on you! You see? That was my ploy all along. Orochi, a mouse? Never! I just didn't like getting outcatted by you. Now the hunt begins.
 * Kaze: The hunt... for? Oh, I see.
 * Orochi: You'd better start running, Kaze. Orochi is on the prowl.
 * Kaze: Ah, just one problem.
 * Orochi: Which is?
 * Kaze: You may be able to hear a ninja--with a bell--but can you catch one? I'm fleet of foot. Gone before you can turn around.
 * Orochi: But I trained so hard to outcat you! Maybe if you wear heavy chains...
 * Kaze: Training is over, Orochi. For you... and for me. I've learned what I wanted to: what my threshold of detection is. Now I know. So, off with the bell. Back to the shadows. Thank you for playing my little game. It's made me a better ninja.
 * Orochi: Your game?! But this was MY game!
 * Kaze: Heh. Was it?

 * Kaze: I propose--
 * Orochi: No more proposals, I said!
 * Kaze: Please, listen. What I want to propose is... for you to wear a ring.
 * Orochi: Is it a poison ring? Will it prick me? Paralyze me? Make me stop chasing you?
 * Kaze: You see, this is what I love about you.

 * Rinkah: Will you be quiet? My diet is none of your business!
 * Kaze: You are absolutely correct. However, I would be a bad friend indeed were I not concerned with your happiness.  I don't think it's good to deprive yourself like this just to hide your sweet tooth.

 * Rinkah:  Don't you dare! Why do you even care so much about what I eat, anyway?

 * Rinkah: Haven't I made myself clear? I don't want any more sweets!
 * Kaze: Well, yes, but I already know about your sugary little secret, right? So it's OK.  You can eat these without worrying about it.

 * Camilla: Hm. And yet, from what I can tell, it seems like you answer them all very kindly. Maybe that's one of the reasons they can't seem to leave you alone.

 * Camilla: I suppose that makes sense. You were quite the sight, surrounded like that. I must admit, I almost felt jealous of all the attention you were getting!
 * Kaze: In that case, you might have come over and spoken with them.
 * Camilla: Oh, no. I couldn't do that! You seemed to be having such a good time without me. Don't tell me you didn't enjoy it. You were smiling the whole time!
 * Kaze: That was because I did not wish to appear rude. Besides, it would not be fair to take out my frustrations on those kind women.
 * Camilla: Hehe. Well said, for someone who claims to not enjoy such attention. I must say, though--I'm actually beginning to believe you. Unfortunately for you, I think it is that very sincerity that makes women swoon. You are kind and earnest, yet you genuinely wish to appear aloof. Such qualities are rare, especially among fine young men like you. You know, I think I'm beginning to enjoy your company myself.

 * Kaze: Perhaps you should go for a walk, then? It might be a nice change of pace for you.
 * Beruka: What part of the term "frivolities" confused you, ninja?
 * Kaze: I do not believe it is a frivolity. Mental health is as critical as bodily health. Walking and other leisure activities relieve stress and purify the mind. It is, in a sense, your duty to spend some of your time off duty. Relaxing.
 * Beruka: I... see.
 * Kaze: If you push yourself to your limits at all times, it can weaken you. It is precisely the same reason you are not training right now. Overexertion is a vice. However, if you do not enjoy walking, you should not do it.

 * Kaze: But why? I thought you wanted me to go.
 * Midori: It's where I always go to pick herbs. You don't need to worry about me.
 * Kaze: Midori I don't unders---
 * Midori: I don't want to distract you. I'll be fine by myself.
 * Kaze: What aren't you telling me?
 * Midori: It's just... I don't want to be selfish and get in the way of your work.
 * Kaze: Midori, you're not. Please don't say that.
 * Midori: It's so nice to be able to see you, but I don't want to take up all your time. I don't want you to hate me...
 * Kaze: What?! Midori, I could never hate you.
 * Midori: Anyway, I'm going to head out... Good luck with work, OK, Father?
 * Kaze: Midori! Come back!

 * Kaze: Midori, there you are.
 * Midori: Hello, Father... What are you doing here?
 * Kaze: Looking for you. Listen... I'm sorry for making you feel so lonely before. I feel like a terrible parent.
 * Midori: Y-you don't have to apologize... It's not s-so important. I know we only lived far apart because you wanted me to be safe... I swear, I understand.
 * Kaze: You've grown to become a wonderful girl. Just know that from here on out, I'll be by your side. I want to make up for all that lost time.
 * Midori: But, I...
 * Kaze: You can count on me, Midori.
 * Midori: F-Father... Faatherrrrrrr!! I've tried to be patient. But all I ever wanted was to spend time together.
 * Kaze: I know... I'm so sorry.
 * Midori: From now on, it's fine to stay by your side, right? Maybe... Maybe we could go pick herbs together.
 * Kaze: That sounds like fun. I promise I'll always be there. After all, you are my precious daughter.
 * Midori: Oh, Father... That makes me so happy. Thank you.

 * Kana: Hey, Papa? There's something I wanted to ask you about.
 * Kaze: Of course, Kana. What do you need?
 * Kana: It's Mama. She's always treating me like a child.
 * Kaze: Well, that's only natural. You're her son, after all. And you ARE still quite young.
 * Kana: I know, I know! I just mean I'm not as much of a child as I used to be. I want to help out with things. But whenever I try, she just tells me to go play with my friends instead.
 * Kaze: I see. You want some responsibilities of your own.
 * Kana: Right! I want to show her that she can rely on me. Can you think of any special things that I could do for her?
 * Kaze: Hm. Well, I often give her ointments or scented oils I craft myself. It turns out that a knowledge of medicinal herbs can take you quite far in such things.
 * Kana: Oh...
 * Kaze: Hm? What's wrong?
 * Kana: I guess I was just hoping for things that I could do for her too... I don't know how to make all that stuff like you, Papa.
 * Kaze: Ah. Yes. I see how that would present a problem for you.
 * Kana: Oh, I know! Let's have a contest, Papa!
 * Kaze: A contest?
 * Kana: Yeah! We'll have a contest to see which of us can make Mama happier! Between the two of us, I'm sure we can come up with all sorts of things! Whoever Mama thanks the most wins!
 * Kaze: A father-son competition, eh? Sounds interesting. Very well, then.
 * Kana: Really? Yay!
 * Kaze: But you should remember, I am the one who won your mother's heart. Beating me will be no mean feat. I do not intend to go easy on you.
 * Kana: That's OK with me, Papa. I'm gonna beat you fair and square!
 * Kaze: Then let the games begin!

 * Kana: Hey, Papa! I've been making a ton of progress on our contest! How about you?
 * Kaze: Well, I haven't done anything too special, but I've gotten quite a few thanks. I've got a tally right here. Take a look!
 * Kana: WOW! That's a lot! You got all of these already?
 * Kaze: Yes. It surprised even me, to tell you the truth. I guess I do more for your mother than I'd thought.
 * Kana: Hmph. Well, I'm still not gonna lose! Here, see! I recorded all mine too! And the total is...um...
 * Kaze: Hm... It seems we have the same score.
 * Kana: We do? We do! Haha! Kana's gonna beat you big-time, Papa! After all, I don't have to work, so I can spend all day doing things for Mama!
 * Kaze: I didn't think about that. You're right. You probably will beat me at that rate. By the way, what all have you been doing for her?
 * Kana: Mostly I've been trying to help out around camp. I spend each morning making arrows for the fletchers. Then at lunch I chop the bear meat for the cooks and hand out the food. Oh, and at night I make sure the mounts are all fed and outfitted for the next day. Plus I do a bunch of other little things whenever I have time!
 * Kaze: That's quite a lot of work. I'm impressed. You really have been growing up, haven't you?
 * Kana: Huh?
 * Kaze: Oh, just a thought. It wasn't so long ago you were still in swaddling clothes. Now, all of a sudden, you're making real, important contributions to the army.
 * Kana: Heehee. Yeah, I've been working real hard. Soon there'll be nothing I can't do!
 * Kaze: I believe it. And I bet your mother is very proud of you for all your hard work.
 * Kana: I hope so! And I'm gonna work even harder for her tomorrow! I won't let this end in a draw, Papa!
 * Kaze: And neither will I. May the best man win!

 * Kana: *grumble*
 * Kaze: Hey, Kana?
 * Kana: Hi, Papa...
 * Kaze: What's the matter? I'd have expected you to still be exulting over your little victory the other day. Or has besting your old man already lost its novelty?
 * Kana: Oh, no. I'm still happy about that, I guess. It's just that I was trying to do things for Mama earlier, and she made me stop. She said I should be spending more time playing around with my friends. She still thinks I'm just a kid. Haven't I shown her I can handle this stuff?
 * Kaze: Ah, I see. I wouldn't worry. It's not you. You're doing good work, I promise.
 * Kana: Then why doesn't she want me to help with anything?
 * Kaze: I think your mother knows full well you're capable of handling these things. But seeing you act so grown up makes her feel sad.
 * Kana: Huh? Why?
 * Kaze: She doesn't want to lose her baby boy. She's happy you're growing up, but she's worried you won't need her anymore. It's a bit contradictory, I know. Parents can be funny like that.
 * Kana: So then what am I supposed to do?
 * Kaze: I'd say to keep helping out around camp, but don't work yourself quite so hard. Take breaks to see your friends. play games, go on adventures. You know. And also try to spend quality time with your mother every now and then. Think you can handle that?
 * Kana: But...
 * Kaze: Hm? Do you not want to spend time with your mother?
 * Kana: No, that's not it! It's just...I feel like that stuff is for babies.
 * Kaze: No, Kana. It's not for babies. It's for children. And your mother wants you to stay a child for just a little while longer. We both do.
 * Kana: Papa...
 * Kaze: Kana, we know that you're growing and that you want more responsibilities. And you're going to be a fine young man someday. Everyone knows it. But for now...relax. Enjoy yourself. At least a little bit, here and there.
 * Kana: OK. Thanks, Papa. I'll think real hard about everything you've said.
 * Kaze: Good! You know... I think it would be good if you spent the night in with your mother. I'll go talk to her about it now.
 * Kana: Wait! What about you?
 * Kaze: Me? No, I've got too much wor---
 * Kana: But, Papa! Don't you need a break sometimes too? I thought you wanted me and Mama to be happy!
 * Kaze: ...Very well, then. I suppose I have no choice when you put it like that.
 * Kana: Yaaay!
 * Kaze: A night in with the family, huh? You know, I think I could get used to this...
