 * Azura: Hello, Avatar. What brings you here?
 * Avatar: I decided to take a little stroll. This breeze feels so heavenly!
 * Azura: Mmm. Yes! All of that sunshine filtering through the leaves reminds me of Hoshido.
 * Avatar: Haha! I envy you. In Nohr, we didn't have days filled with sunshine!
 * Azura: Oh, Avatar. How stupid of me!
 * Avatar: Huh?
 * Azura: That was thoughtless of me. I never should have brought that up! It should've been you in Hoshido all those years-basking in the sunlight!
 * Avatar: There's no need to feel bad. It's not like you kidnapped me and took me to Nohr!
 * Azura: I know, but I still feel guilty. I lived with the royal family and received all the love that should have been yours.
 * Avatar: Please, Azura, you shouldn't worry. My life hasn't been as hard as you think.
 * Azura: But I lived in Nohr! I know what that was like. It's a cruel place to grow up.
 * Avatar: That's true. Nohr can be a harsh place, but I have happy memories there too.
 * Azura: Really?
 * Avatar: Of course! I was just remembering this one time... Oh, no! I'm late for a meeting! I'm sorry. We'll have to continue this later!
 * Azura: Yes, I'd like that!

 * Azura: Avatar! I hoped to run into you. I'd like to hear more about your time in Nohr.
 * Avatar: Of course! Well, let's see... I lived in the Northern Fortress. It was pretty remote. Hmm... I wasn't allow to go outside or have any friends.
 * Azura: That sounds terrible!
 * Avatar: Thinking back, it was hard. However, at the time, I never fell lonely. The servants were like family, and my brothers and sisters visited all the time. Elise came by to hang out every single day.
 * Azura: How sweet of her!
 * Avatar: ...And there was a huge library! You'd never run out of books to read in Nohr! Felicia, Jakob, and I even had a little book club. You see? I was too busy to feel alone.
 * Azura: Hmm. The Nohr you describe is so different I remember.
 * Avatar: Well, I spent a lot of time here. It still feels like a part of me...like home.
 * Azura: It almost sounds like you missed it.
 * Avatar: I do. I miss the Northern Fortress. I even miss Castle Krakenburg.
 * Azura: One day, I'm sure you'll get to go back there.
 * Avatar: I hope so, but first, we have to defeat King Garon and end this war for good!

 * Azura: Avatar, you're always outside, aren't you?
 * Avatar: Haha! I came out here to unwind, but it's so windy!
 * Azura: Yes. I think a storm is coming.
 * Avatar: I haven't seen such a dark cloud since I left Nohr.
 * Azura: You must be thinking about how much you miss it. I see that wistful look on your face. It's hard to believe we lived in the same country. Our experiences were so different. I've listened to your stories, but it's hard to picture anything good happening there.
 * Avatar: I think many Hoshidans feel that way.
 * Azura: That's why we must bridge the gap. We must work together to end this war.
 * Avatar: I agree with you completely. We can't call one place good and another bad.
 * Azura: You and I are linked by fate. It's so coincidence that we're both here. If you and I work as a team, surely we can bring about peace.
 * Avatar: You know I'd do anything to make that happen! We're in this together, Azura.

 * Avatar: Hello, Azura. Thanks for meeting me here.
 * Azura: This is becoming your favorite spot, isn't it?
 * Avatar: Yes. It seemed like a fitting place to discuss something...uh...important.
 * Azura: Oh, my. You have a serious look on your face. Is everything all right?
 * Avatar: Yes, I'm fine. I've just been thinking about our conversations about Nohr. Even after our talks, I haven't changed your mind about Nohr, have I?
 * Azura: Well, not exactly...
 * Avatar: I realized all of my good memories of Nohr are thanks to a handful of kind people. Without Jakob and Felicia and my brothers and sisters, I would have been miserable.
 * Azura: So you do understand what I'm talking about after all. Nohr can be a cruel place!
 * Avatar: Yes, but no matter what, there are good people in this world who want to help. There are people who will love you no matter what it may cost them. There are people---right here, right now---who want to stand beside you.
 * Azura: Avatar, what are you saying?
 * Avatar: I want to be that person for you! They could throw us in a dark pit, and we'd be fine as long as we're together. I know it.
 * Azura: Avatar, I'm so happy to hear you say that.
 * Avatar: Really?
 * Azura: Yes! Our fates have been intertwined since the beginning. I believe we were always meant to walk through this life together.
 * Avatar: And now the path is bringing us to a peaceful place! I know it is!
 * Azura: I'm sure there will be plenty of sunshine when we get there.
 * Azura: I...I love you too... Please forgive my many faults...and promise to stay with me, forever.

 * Avatar: Oh, no! Ugh!
 * Azura: Avatar? Is that you? What's going on?
 * Avatar: I'm fine! I was getting some water, and I dropped the glass. Be careful! There are broken shards everywhere!
 * Azura: What are you doing up at this hour? You look like you've seen a ghost!
 * Avatar: I-I'm all right. Really. It was just a bad dream.
 * Azura: Goodness! You must have been thrashing about. You're dripping sweat! Poor thing. Here, have a fresh glass of water.
 * Avatar: *gulp* *gulp* ...Ahhh! Thank you, Azura.
 * Azura: Did you want to talk about it? Your nightmare, I mean...
 * Avatar: Nah. It's no big deal.
 * Azura: Hmm. Your decision to side with Nohr is really troubling you, isn't it?
 * Avatar: Seriously, Azura? How do you figure this stuff out? I can't hide anything from you!
 * Azura: Well, I've suspected this for a few days now. You've been looking dejected. Also... There's the hand-wringing and the sighing and that pouty thing you do with your lips.
 * Avatar: All right. All right. I get it! ...the thing is, I know I made the right decision. I put a lot of thought into it. I really believe this is the best way to bring about peace. ...But I have nightmares every night about the Hoshidans I've killed!
 * Azura: Avatar, you knew this path wouldn't be easy when you chose it, right?
 * Avatar: Yes, that's true.
 * Azura: If you believe this path leads to peace, then you have to keep walking down that road.
 * Avatar: You're right. I can't give up just because it's hard. Thanks, Azura.

 * Avatar: Phew! My patrol is almost done for the night, and everything's nice and quiet. ...Hold up! Did that shadow just move?! *gasp* It's an enemy soldier!
 * Hoshidan: There you are, Avatar...Prince of Nohr! I'll kill you where you stand! GAAH!
 * Avatar: Ha! Nice try, but I'm not going down without a fight!
 * Hoshidan: Ugh! ARGH!
 * Avatar: *pant* *pant*
 * Azura: Avatar! What's going on?! ...Oh, my! Is that a soldier from Hoshido?!
 * Avatar: He slipped through our defenses somehow. Don't worry. He won't be getting back up.
 * Hoshidan: ...Y-you killed my whole family! You and the rest of Nohr! I-I'll never forgive you! Enjoy your life while it lasts! Death and punishment are coming for you! Just wait! Gahaha... Gufffpphh...!
 * Azura: Avatar? Are you all right?
 * Avatar: Yes, I'm fine. I escaped without a scratch.
 * Azura: No, I mean---are YOU all right? That was hard to hear.
 * Avatar: I feel terrible. I robbed him of justice! I didn't want to kill him, but I had no choice!
 * Azura: He doesn't know why you sided with Nohr! Give up and his death will be meaningless.
 * Avatar: It's easy for you to say that. You didn't kill him! Now he'll never avenge his family!
 * Azura: Hmm. I see. In that case, you SHOULD feel terrible.
 * Avatar: Wow. Thanks a lot, Azura.
 * Azura: No, listen... Just because you've chosen this path doesn't mean you have to like it. Get upset. Throw a fit. Cry into your pillow! I'd be worried if his death didn't upset you.
 * Avatar: You're right.
 * Azura: All we can do is keep pressing on. This won't be the last soldier who dies.
 * Avatar: That's why we have to end this thing!
 * Azura: Exactly! Just remember, Avatar... No matter what, I'm right here with you. Whenever you feel lost, I'll try to help you find your way again.
 * Avatar: Thank you, Azura. I don't know what I'd do without you.

A Support

 * Azura: Avatar! *gasp* Oh, thank goodness! I found you!
 * Avatar: Azura? What's wrong? ...And why are you so out of breath?
 * Azura: I came to warn you! There's been a breach! Another Hoshidan infiltrated the camp!
 * Avatar: What?!
 * Hoshidan: You're the prince of Nohr, aren't you?
 * Azura: Oh, no! He's already here!
 * Hoshidan: I'm here to avenge my friends! DIE!
 * Avatar: Uh...
 * Azura: Avatar! What's wrong with you?! He's drawing his weapon! Snap out of it!
 * Avatar: B-but...!
 * Azura: Avatar? ...Fine! You leave me no choice. I'll fight him for you!
 * Hoshidan: ...Huh? She got me...?! N-no!
 * Avatar: Azura, are you all right?!
 * Azura: Now that he's finished, I'm perfectly fine. The question is---Avatar, are you all right?
 * Avatar: Yeah. I don't know what happened. I just froze! I'm so sorry. I put both of our lives in danger. I can't believe I'm so pathetic!
 * Azura: You're not pathetic! You're human---like the rest of us. You care about people! I know you're tired of having blood on your hands. I won't let you do it alone anymore. Now my hands are just as stained as yours. When you can't go on, I'll fight for you.
 * Avatar: Do you really mean that?
 * Azura: Absolutely! We're going to walk this bloodstained path until we reach the end.
 * Avatar: All right. I won't hesitate next time. If we're going down, we'll go together.
 * Azura: I'll be by your side every step of the way. I promise.

S Support

 * Avatar:Azura, do you have a minute?
 * Azura: Of course, but it's so late! You didn't have another nightmare, did you?
 * Avatar: No. I haven't had another nightmare since we talked. I'm doing much better now.
 * Azura: You are better, aren't you?
 * Avatar: Thanks to you. That's actually what I wanted to talk to you about.
 * Azura: Oh?
 * Avatar: The other day, you promised to be by my side. That made such a difference to me. Now, I know that I'm not in this alone anymore.
 * Azura: Well, it's true. You're not alone anymore.
 * Avatar: ...But the thing is, I don't want blood on your hands either!
 * Azura: Oh, my! Avatar, that was just a metaphor.
 * Avatar: I know! But I care about you! ...And not just as an ally or a friend... Azura, I love you. I want to do anything to protect you.
 * Azura: What?!
 * Avatar: I can't bear the thought of dragging you down with me! I'd rather know you were unburdened by guilt than have have you by my side, suffering.
 * Azura: Avatar, you have a kind heart. I'm not surprised you feel that way. What if things didn't end to badly? Let's make a new promise! What if we keep walking this road until we end up someplace full of hope?
 * Avatar: Do you really think that's possible?
 * Azura: Yes! Avatar, I love you! Let's keep pressing on until we find peace!
 * Azura: I finally know what true happiness is. No matter what happens, dear love... I will always be with you.

 * Felicia: *Sniffle* Why does this sort of thing always happen to me? I've ruined ANOTHER meal! I thought I followed the recipe perfectly this time...
 * Avatar: Hey, Felicia. What's the matter? Oh, no. Did you start another fire? That's the third time this month...
 * Felicia: Lord Avatar! N-No, Not this time... This time I just ruined another meal.
 * Avatar: Felicia... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Please, cheer up! You're plenty helpful to everyone. I promise.
 * Felicia: Sorry, but I don't believe that at all.
 * Avatar: Well, what about that last battle, when you got the enemy's attention by screaming? And then, you not only got them to come after you, you took them all out too! I've never seen such a bold strategy! And such bravery.
 * Felicia: ...
 * Avatar: Felicia?! What's wrong? Why are you curling up on the floor again?!
 * Felicia: You really don't understand, do you? That wasn't a strategy, Avatar! I was just trying to run away from them, and then I got surrounded. I had to fight my way out or die! I wasn't being brave. I was terrified.
 * Avatar: Oh, really? Could have fooled me...
 * Felicia: I don't want to be a good warrior anyway! We have plenty of soldiers already. I want to be a good maid. I want to be able to mend clothes and make food and wash dishes and the like. Have you seen camp lately? We need that more than we need an extra muscle.
 * Avatar: Yeah, I guess so. I suppose you don't have to join us on the battlefield.
 * Felicia: But then I'd be COMPLETELY worthless!
 * Avatar: No! Don't say that! You could... er.... You could help with... Oh, look! A Faceless! I have to go.
 * Felicia: ... I'm going back to my corner...

B Support

 * Felicia: Ouch! That really stings.
 * Avatar: Hey, Felicia. I just saw a big pile of broken dishes. Did you...? Oh, wow, that's a big cut on your forehead. Are you all right? Here, let me take a look... Hm. We should put some ointments on this.
 * Felicia: I'm so useless I can't even carry a few stupid dishes around... I wish I could serve you like a proper maid. Or at least stop breaking things... Then you wouldn't have to look after me all the time.
 * Avatar: Aw, come on. Felicia. We're practically family! And Family helps each other out. Besides. It's the least I could do for someone who saved my life.
 * Felicia: I saved your life?
 * Avatar: Don't you remember? It was when I had that terrible fever, years ago. I kept getting sicker and sicker.
 * Felicia: Oh! Yes! I do remember. It was around the same time Flora and I started serving as your maids, correct?But even then, I was a mess. I couldn't care for you properly at all! I had no idea what to do when you fell ill...
 * Avatar: Well, you didn't know the normal ways to treat an illness, that's true... But that didn't matter. You kept my fever down for days using your ice powers. Drawing the heat out of me and into yourself... They said it was extremely dangerous. You could have died.
 * Felicia: It was the only thing I could think to do at the time.
 * Avatar: Did you ever stop to consider what might have happened to you? I'm grateful, of course, but I don't want you sacrificing yourself for my sake, OK? I want you to look out for yourself, too.
 * Felicia: Lord Avatar, you don't understand. I WAS looking out for myself.
 * Avatar: What do you mean?
 * Felicia: Heehee, never mind. Forget I said anything!
 * Avatar: Felicia? Wait!

A Support

 * Felicia: *gulp* You can do it, Felicia! Just put the pot back in the cabinet... Gently...gently... I'm not the same old Felicia I've always been! I'm Super Felicia! I'm transforming into an elegant maid, like a caterpillar into a butterfly! NO! Argh! I'm g-gonna slip! ... Huh? Why does nothing hurt? I could have sworn I slipped...
 * Avatar: Felicia... Try to be more careful when you're on a ladder.
 * Felicia: Lord Avatar?! You caught me!
 * Avatar: I'm just glad I arrived in time. Now, Felicia, you need to pay more attention to what you're doing. No wonder you get distracted all the time, talking to yourself like that.
 * Felicia: Ack! You heard that? Having you catch me was bad enough, but hearing me talk to myself... I'm never going to live this down.
 * Avatar: Haha. Don't worry about it too much. Let's get you back on the ground. Are you all right?
 * Felicia: Y-yes, I'm fine.
 * Avatar: So, you know... I might consider keeping this little incident to myself if you were to tell me something. Remember how I was scolding you for always putting others before yourself? And you said that you did look out for yourself? What did you mean by that?
 * Felicia: Oh...that. Do I have to tell you?
 * Avatar: Yes. I've been wondering about it ever since.
 * Felicia: OK, then. I just meant that I look after myself by looking after others.
 * Avatar: Huh? What do you mean?
 * Felicia: You were worried that I'd neglect myself by trying too hard to help out. But the thing is... I'd only be neglecting myself if I didn't help everyone. If I stopped, I'd just feel terrible and useless... I wouldn't be happy. I know I'm a big klutz, but I take pride in working as hard as I can to serve others.
 * Avatar: But don't you find that exhausting?
 * Felicia: Very much so. but It's a meaningful kind of exhausting. And that makes it all worth it.
 * Avatar: Felicia...you're a very inspiring person, you know that?
 * Felicia: Oh, stop! You're making me blush!
 * Avatar: But I don't want you to push yourself too hard. Remember, you can't help others very effectively if you're exhausted all the time.
 * Felicia: I know that! I promise not to overwork myself.
 * Avatar: Haha, good. Now, if only you could promise to keep away from the dishes too...
 * Felicia: Avatar!! Why did you have to go and spoil a perfectly beautiful moment like that?
 * Avatar: Hahaha. Sorry, Felicia. I couldn't help myself. But I do hope you'll always be there to help us---on and off the battlefield.
 * Felicia: Of course, milord!

 * Avatar: Felicia? Felicia! Where are you?! It's OK. You can come out now! Poor girl. I hope she's not beating herself up too much. Today was worse than usual. I bet she's off n that corner again... Aha. Thought so.
 * Felicia: *sniffle* Hello, Lord Avatar.
 * Avatar: Felicia, cheer up. Everything'll be all right. Everyone makes mistakes.
 * Felicia: But what kind of maid oversleeps and gets dressed with her clothes inside out? And then burns everyone's breakfasts and drops their sheets in the mud? Can I just quit being a maid and go back home?
 * Avatar: I'll admit, that's pretty impressive for one morning. You know, maybe calling it quits isn't such a bad idea...
 * Felicia: Lord Avatar! Don't say that! Especially not right now!
 * Avatar: Haha, calm down. I'm only kidding! Felicia, giving up like that... It's just not like you. Didn't you tell me that helping others is what keeps you going?
 * Felicia: Huh? Oh. I made that all up.
 * Avatar: Wh-what?! Why?
 * Felicia: I mean, of course I want to do my best for others, but I'm really not that selfless.
 * Avatar: But you said you were looking out for yourself when you healed me... What did you mean by that?
 * Felicia: Really? You're going to make me spell it out for you?
 * Avatar: Spell what out?
 * Felicia: I love you, milord!
 * Avatar: What?! Since when?!
 * Felicia: A long time now... But it's OK. you don't have to say anything. I know my feelings are forbidden. A prince cannot marry a maid. Royal marriages are too important for love to determine... Not that you DO love me. So, please...just forget what I said.
 * Avatar: Oh, Felicia... I love you too.
 * Felicia: What?!
 * Avatar: Why do you think I spend so much time tracking you down when you're sad? I've loved you for a long time... All the way back to our days in the Northern Fortress.
 * Felicia: Avatar...
 * Avatar: So, please, don't worry so much about the proper protocol for royal marriages. I will never let anything tear us apart.
 * Felicia: I-I'm so happy... I can hardly breathe!
 * Avatar: I'm sorry for allowing you to suffer so long in silence. Will you make me the happiest man alive? Will you be my wife, Felicia?
 * Felicia: Yes! Of course!
 * Felicia: I'm so glad I didn't mess this up. I love you...

 * Avatar: Hello, Silas. Do you have some time?
 * Silas: Hm? Oh, hi there, Avatar. Need something?
 * Avatar: Sort of. You mentioned that we were childhood friends but... I'm trying to figure out how you remembered that when I didn't.
 * Silas: Oh, is that all? I wouldn't worry about it. Those old memories slip away for everyone.
 * Avatar: But isn't it strange that I'd forget someone so close to me? You became a castle knight just so our paths would cross again... While I, on the other hand, forgot you existed at all.
 * Silas: Really, though... I wish you wouldn't worry about it. You remember now, and that's all that matters to me. My hard work paid off, didn't it? I became a castle knight, and here we are. I'm grateful for the chance to make up for lost time.
 * Avatar: Grateful, huh? That's a good way of looking at it, Thanks, Silas.
 * Silas: There's the cheer I remember. Oh, hey! Why don't we go take a little trip together sometime?
 * Avatar: Hmm. It sounds fun, but where should we go?
 * Silas: Someplace you always wanted to see. When we were young, you had a long list of places you wished you could go. We couldn't go to any of them at the time, but nothing's stopping us now!
 * Avatar: It sounds nice... but I don't think we should go far, given the circumstances.
 * Silas: Hmm, you're right. But don't worry. I'll find a way to make it work.
 * Avatar: Do you have something up your sleeve?
 * Silas: Haha, sorry if I made my plans seem grander than they are. If we can't go far, we'll limit our options to places within reach. You might not remember all the places on your old list, but I do.
 * Avatar: Great! Thanks for doing this, Silas.
 * Silas: Hey, what are friends for? Now go get packed for the trip!
 * Avatar: I will!
 * Silas exits
 * Avatar: Silas is a really good guy. So... how did I forget all about him? He told me not to worry about it, but there's got to be a reason...

B Support

 * Silas: Avatar! I need to talk to you about our upcoming trip.
 * Avatar: Hello, Silas! Did you draw up the list?
 * Silas: Well...about that… I started writing down all the places I could remember you wanting to visit.
 * Avatar: Goodness! That’s...a long list…
 * Silas: Yeah. The memories just kept flooding back… It got a little out of hand.
 * Avatar: I was desperate to get out into the world, wasn’t I? I can’t believe you remembered all these so many years later…
 * Silas: Haha, well, I’ve always had a keen memory. So, where on the list do you want to go? Pick any one you like.
 * Avatar: These aren’t really “places” as such, are they? “A town plaza”...”a street food stall”....”a festival”... Did I really say I wanted to go see “bugs”?!
 * Silas: That’s how I remember it.
 * Avatar: Then I’ll defer to your memory. It’s hard to decide on one, though.
 * Silas: Take your time. And you don’t need to limit yourself to one, you know. We can take multiple trips.
 * Avatar: It really is good of you to do all this for me… It’s all the more mysterious why I would have forgotten about you.
 * Silas: For goodness sake, are you still brooding over that? Why don’t we see if anyone in your retinue knows? They’ve been with you for a long time. One of them must know why, right?
 * Avatar: Yes...though I’m anxious they might have had some reason for not mentioning you…
 * Silas: Don’t worry, Avatar. I’ll come with you. Whatever they say, I’ll stand by your side.
 * Avatar: Thanks, Silas.
 * Silas: Come on, let’s get this cleared up before we do any more trip planning!
 * Avatar: Huh? Hey! Wait for me!

 * Avatar: Silas...I'm really sorry about the other day.
 * Silas: What, for what we found out? It was a long time ago, Avatar. No need to be sorry. Though I'll admit, the truth isn't what I expected...
 * Avatar: It was a little embarrassing to learn how much I cried after I couldn't see you again.
 * Silas: I can see why they tried to take your mind off me, though. I guess they simply did too good a job...
 * Avatar: That's putting it mildly. I supposed the feelings of one noble boy weren't a priority.
 * Silas: Haha, next to the young prince? I'd have done the same thing in their shoes.
 * Avatar: You have a big heart, Silas. Though I feel my offense in forgetting about you was worse than any of theirs...
 * Silas: I'm actually relieved by what we learned.
 * Avatar: What? Why?
 * Silas: You cried every day because you weren't allowed to see me, right? Doesn't that prove I really was your closest friend?
 * Avatar: Yes, I suppose so.
 * Silas: You should know that I have no regrets about taking you outside those walls. Nothing makes me happier than helping you in whatever way I can.
 * Avatar: Silas... You're a better friend than I deserve.
 * Silas: Well, now that the past is laid to rest, it's time to focus on the present!
 * Avatar: Well said!
 * Silas: Did you decide yet what you want to see? Wait...damn. I forgot the list! Wait here just a second, and I'll be back with it.
 * Avatar: Wait, Silas! I'll come with you! You don't need to sprint!

 * 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).

 * 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.

 * 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.

 * Avatar: You really opened my eyes, Mozu. I never knew you were such a good hunter.
 * Mozu: Aw, you're flattering me. Farm work and hunting is all I've ever been good at.
 * Avatar: What sort of animals did you used to hunt?
 * Mozu: Well, a nice big boar was always welcome when you'd bring it back to the village. They're good eating, and you can put most parts of it to use. They're pretty rowdy, though, so they're not easy hunting. Around my village, you weren't a real hunter until you'd bagged yourself a boar.
 * Avatar: Did you ever get one?
 * Mozu: Surely did! On my first try, too! I forgot my bow though, so I had to finish it off with a knife.
 * Avatar: Just a knife?!
 * Mozu: Yep. My fondest memory of hunting, though, isn't boars. It's bears.
 * Avatar: B-bears?! You caught a bear on your own?!
 * Mozu: Surely did.
 * Avatar: How did you manage that?! Their sharp claws...their immense size...!
 * Mozu: Oh, those aren't the things you gotta worry about. It's their smarts.
 * Avatar: No...no, I'd still be most intimidated by their size, I think...
 * Mozu: They can dodge arrows and track you with their powerful noses. They're some real tough prey. This old man in our village was good at hunting them, though. He had some technique that'd been passed down over generations. I really looked up to him and tried to figure out his moves for myself. Man, that really takes me back...
 * Avatar: Mozu...
 * Mozu: Aww, there I go again! I gotta stop thinking about that stuff.
 * Avatar: I have a suggestion... You're good at farming and hunting, but why not try something new?
 * Mozu: Something new?
 * Avatar: Maybe I could teach you something I know a lot about as thanks for your help hunting.

 * Mozu: Like school...?
 * Avatar: I thought you might have missed out on a formal education growing up. So this seemed like a good opportunity for you to study something new.
 * Mozu: Isn't that stuff for nobles? I don't know if I'm cut out for it...

 * Mozu: Lord Avatar? What's with the faraway look in your eyes?
 * Avatar: I'm very sorry, Mozu, but on second thought, this isn't a good day for a lesson. There's something more important I feel we should discuss instead.
 * Mozu: Something important? Why are you acting so funny?
 * Avatar: Where to begin... I mean no offense by this, but when we first met, I felt sorry for you. You had just lost your entire family and were forced to survive on your own. But as I've spent more time with you, that pity has given way to something else. I find myself wanting to be with you more. I think of you constantly...
 * Mozu: Are you saying...?
 * Avatar: I told you last time that you should think of us as family. What I meant by that was that we're all part of something larger in this army, but... I want to revise that. So please indulge me when I say... I love you, Mozu. I want us to be married. Could we start a real family together?

 * Avatar: Hm? Was that a whinny just now? Oh, I think I see Hinoka. It must be her pegasus I heard...
 * Hinoka: There you go... Feels good, doesn't it? Oh, don't get your feathers all ruffled! It just makes it harder to brush you... We've been partners for a while; it was so long ago that I chose to be a sky knight... Hm?
 * Avatar: Oh, sorry, Hinoka. I didn't mean to interrupt you...
 * Hinoka: Hi, Avatar. It's not a problem at all. What can I do for you?
 * Avatar: Well, I overheard you talking about when you decided to become a sky knight... I'm actually curious why you did it.
 * Hinoka: I don't know if it's a story I should tell you. ... No, that's wrong. Now that we're reunited, I can share it with you. After you were kidnapped, I was so mad, I didn't know what to do with myself. On several occasions, I snuck out of the castle, thinking I could come save you.
 * Avatar: Really?!
 * Hinoka: But I was always stopped, either by castle staff, Ryoma, or even Mother herself. I was just so angry that those Nohrians had stolen you away from us... And I was mad at myself for not being able to do anything about it.
 * Avatar: Hinoka...
 * Hinoka: As I got older, I realized that I was trying to do the impossible. I was so young; there was no way I could walk through all of Nohr and save you. And then one day I saw a pegasus flying...
 * Avatar: So that was when you decided to become a sky knight?
 * Hinoka: Indeed. That decision has driven almost everything I've done since then. It's really made me into the person I am today---much stronger and determined. I suppose I should thank you, Avatar, even though I wish you'd been spared it.
 * Avatar: I'm the one who should be thanking you. If things hadn't turned out exactly as they did, I'd have needed you to save me! Thank you, Hinoka.

 * Avatar: Hello there, Hinoka. Tending to your pegasus again?
 * Hinoka: Indeed. He's always been my partner on the battlefield, after all. It's important that I show him my appreciation whenever I can.
 * Avatar: You were still quite young when you decided to become a sky knight, right? It's obviously a dangerous job... Did anyone try to talk you out of it?
 * Hinoka: Oh, definitely. Many people did. Your mother more than most.
 * Avatar: What? Even my mother? She was worried for your safety, even though you weren't related?
 * Hinoka: Indeed. It even surprised me how strongly opposed to the idea she was. She tried all manner of things to convince me to change my mind. Begging, bribing...
 * Avatar: How did you respond?
 * Hinoka: Well, I was still a very young girl... Ryoma and the others accepted her as Father's wife and our new mother, but I... I didn't do that very easily. As a result, I was cruel to her---more cruel than she could ever deserve.
 * Avatar: Oh, no! What happened? What did you do?
 * Hinoka: I told her that she wasn't my mother and had no place ordering me around. Of course, I apologized later, but it's impossible to take back what was said. I still remember how her face changed right as the words left my mouth. I'll probably regret having said that for the rest of my life...
 * Avatar: That was years ago, though! I'm sure she forgave you long ago. You were young and didn't know any better. I think you can forgive yourself...
 * Hinoka: No, it's better that I continue to carry this burden with me as a reminder, I think.

 * Hinoka: Avatar? What are you doing here?
 * Avatar: Gah! H-hello, Hinoka! I didn't see you...
 * Hinoka: You jumped a foot in the air, Avatar. Why were you so startled?
 * Avatar: No reason! No reason... I'm fine. I just wasn't expecting you to be there. I was...wrapped up in talking to your pegasus about you.
 * Hinoka: You were? What were you saying to him?
 * Avatar: I was telling him how lucky he was to have someone who cares so much. Even though becoming a sky knight has really defined who you are...you were just as caring a person before.
 * Hinoka: ...
 * Avatar: I'm incredibly grateful for how much you've cared for me. I feel like I need to give a little back, too.
 * Hinoka: Avatar...
 * Avatar: You've worked so hard to support me. I want to be able to support you too.
 * Hinoka: Heehee... When did you learn to be so direct in your words?
 * Avatar: D-don't tease me! I'm serious!
 * Hinoka: I know, Avatar, I know. Thank you. I'm blessed to be your sister.

I can't even count the number of times you threw me as I was learning to ride. Heehee... Even then I had probably fallen for him and just not realized it.

 * Hinoka: I...um... You were listening? It doesn't matter! Just...forget everything you heard, OK? That wasn't meant for you!
 * Avatar: No. I don't think I can forget that.
 * Hinoka: But why...
 * Avatar: Because hearing it... It made me really happy to hear you say that.
 * Hinoka: What?!
 * Avatar: Never in my wildest dreams did I think that you felt that way about me. And while I am glad to know it...no matter how much we care about each other, we're siblings. It would be best if we just buried these feelings and never let them out.
 * Hinoka: I didn't think you shared the same feelings, which is why I didn't tell you... Well, forgive me for not sharing this truth with you before now.
 * Avatar: What are you talking about?
 * Hinoka: The truth is...you're not my brother. My blood brother, anyway.
 * Avatar: Huh?! What do you mean?
 * Hinoka: After you returned to Hoshido, Mother... Queen Mikoto gave me this letter. She told me to read it if---in light of your return---I ever worried about who I loved. I didn't know what she meant then, but a few days ago I realized she meant you. In the letter, Mother writes that you aren't Father...King Sumeragi's child. Since we also have different mothers...
 * Avatar: This is...a lot to take in all at once...
 * Hinoka: Thinking back, we all knew that Mother had prophetic powers. She must have given me the letter because she knew I would fall in love with you. The letter also talked a bit about her and Father's relationship...
 * Avatar: What did it say?
 * Hinoka: Mother wrote that she came to Hoshido after asking my father for help. When she arrived, she had a baby with her. He had been born in her homeland. That baby was you, Avatar. Father knew that you weren't his child, and yet he raised you as his own... Such was his love for Mother... Your mother, that is.
 * Avatar: Even knowing the truth, I can't think of him as anyone other than my father. This begs the question, though... Who is my father by blood?
 * Hinoka: I can't help you there. Mother didn't say anything about him in her letter.
 * Avatar: I see... Still, this means that you're not actually my sister...
 * Hinoka: I'm sorry, Avatar. Maybe I shouldn't have told you...
 * Avatar: No, I'm glad you did! I'm shocked, to be sure, but now that I know the truth, I can be honest, too. Hinoka... I love you. I love you more than anyone else in the world.
 * Hinoka: Really? Are you certain? If you are... Well, there is no one I would rather be with than you.
 * Avatar: I am. And I feel exactly the same way.
 * Hinoka: Avatar... I never dreamed this would happen. It makes all those days I spent planning how to rescue you all the more meaningful. I'm so glad that we feel the same...
 * Avatar: We'll never be separated again. Ever. I'll always be by your side.
 * Hinoka: Me too. I promise to always protect you.
 * Hinoka: You've never left my mind since the day you've been gone. Never leave me again.

 * Sakura: After you returned to Hoshido, Mother gave me a letter. She said I should read it if I ever started worrying about the one I loved. At the time, I didn't understand, but... Mother had almost prophetic powers. She must have known how I felt.
 * Avatar: What did the letter say?
 * Sakura: It was sh-shocking! It said that we're not blood related...not even a tiny bit.
 * Avatar: But you and Ryoma and the others... you're all King Sumeragi's children...
 * Sakura: That's right...but you're not his son. Your mother, Queen Mikoto, came to Hoshido to ask my father for help. She brought along a baby—you. My father knew you weren't his son... but he loved Queen Mikoto, so he raised you as his own. He really did love you.
 * Avatar: King Sumeragi...must have cared for me a lot to raise me as his own. But if it's not him, then...who is my real father?
 * Sakura: I'm sorry, but Mother didn't say anything about that in her letter.
 * Avatar: Oh...
 * Sakura: I'm s-sorry. It was selfish of me to tell you all this for my own benefit.
 * Avatar: Don't apologize, Sakura. I'm relieved to learn the truth. As shocking as it is to find out we're not blood related, it makes me happy.
 * Sakura: It d-does?
 * Avatar: It does. After all...I love you too. Why do you think I offered to help you with conversation practice? It was just an excuse to spend more time with you.
 * Sakura: Oh, Avatar! I'm so h-happy!
 * Avatar: Since we're not siblings, we shouldn't hide our feelings anymore. It may be hard, but we'll cross that bridge together. I promise to protect you.
 * Sakura: Oh! Then I...I promise to protect you too! Just swear you'll never leave me again.
 * Avatar: I swear, I won't ever leave your side.
 * Sakura: I've never felt this way before. My heart is beating so fast! I'm yours forever.

 * Kagero: Hrm. I suppose you could say that. What I need is for you to remain safe and sound.
 * Avatar: I agree with that sentiment, but I should be safe here, don't you think?
 * Kagero: What I mean is...it is absolutely vital that we keep you safe. After careful observation of the army, I've realized that you are critical to morale. I will keep an eye on you at all times to make sure nothing happens to you. This also helps my liege, Lord Ryoma.
 * Avatar: How does this help my brother?
 * Kagero: It would undoubtedly break his heart if something happened to you.
 * Avatar: You clearly care deeply for him. How long have you been his retainer?
 * Kagero: I've served him for some time, though I was under Lady Mikoto's command before that. Combined, I have spent most of my life in service to the Hoshidan royal family.
 * Avatar: I didn't know that...Well, I am grateful for your assistance, but...You aren't planning on following me around everywhere I go, are you?

 * Avatar: Kagero, I have a question...
 * Kagero: Yes, Lord Avatar?
 * Avatar: I know you're just doing your job but...don't you think you should take a break?
 * Kagero: I would not be able to live with myself if something happened while I did so.
 * Avatar: It's just that...I feel a little on edge, being watched all the time. If it gets to me, I can only imagine how draining it must be for you to do it.
 * Kagero: I've trained for years to perform all the tasks of a ninja, so it doesn't bother me. But...I understand your point, milord. I will make an effort to be more inconspicuous in the future.
 * Avatar: I appreciate that, Kagero. I know your job can't be an easy one...That reminds me...Do you mind if I ask you something about Ryoma and my mother?
 * Kagero: Go ahead. I'll answer as best I can.
 * Avatar: How well did Ryoma and my mother get along with one another? Not being blood related, I imagine they had to figure a few things out.
 * Kagero: As far as I could tell, they had a very cordial relationship.
 * Avatar: I'm glad to hear that.
 * Kagero: I should clarify, though, that they didn't simply start off that way. The two of them worked very hard to forge their relationship into what it was.
 * Avatar: What do you mean?
 * Kagero: When Lord Sumeragi married Lady Mikoto, it wasn't just the royal children affected. There were a large number of Hoshidans who felt uneasy about her becoming queen. Lord Ryoma saw this and took it upon himself to build a relationship with her.
 * Avatar: Oh, I see. He wanted to set an example for everyone else to follow. Heh, that sounds like something he would do.
 * Kagero: Lord Ryoma intended to make Lady Mikoto feel like she was welcome in Hoshido. From what I saw, he succeeded completely.
 * Avatar: That's reassuring. Thank you for sharing this with me, Kagero.
 * Kagero: Of course, milord.

 * Avatar: Hey, Kagero?
 * Kagero: You require some privacy? I shall disappe-
 * Avatar: Oh, no! Sorry, I just wanted to ask you something. I'm curious where your drive to carry out your missions comes from. It seems like all you do is follow out the orders you've been given. I'm sure there are other things you'd like to do for yourself, aren't there?
 * Kagero: Of course, but it is the duty of a retainer to work hard for their liege.
 * Avatar: That's true, but...I feel like you're far more diligent than any of the other retainers.
 * Kagero: ...
 * Avatar: There must be something deep down that motivates you.
 * Kagero: *sigh* My clan has loyally served the Hoshidan royal family for many years. It is my duty as a ninja to continue that tradition. Also...I have an older brother.
 * Avatar: You do? I didn't know that...
 * Kagero: He's been frail since birth. It would be impossible for him to do even the most simple of martial arts. However, as he is the eldest child, it was his duty to carry on the tradition. His condition led some to criticize our clan's loyalty. This hurt my brother more than anything else.
 * Avatar: ...
 * Kagero: So I serve in his place, working hard to prove to everyone that our clan is loyal. I have to protect my clan's honor.

 * Setsuna: Thank you for letting me out...
 * Avatar: Why weren't you calling for help? The camp isn't all that far away from here. Next time this happens, just yell really loud and I'm sure someone will come running. Though I guess that advice is moot; this sort of thing doesn't happen often.

 * Avatar: ...Excuse me?
 * Setsuna: Traps and I are destined for each other. If I go hiking in the mountains, I fall into traps left for wildlife... I always get hung up in fishing nets when I'm crossing rivers... I even fall into the small holes that children dig for fun in towns.
 * Avatar: *sigh* I don't even know what to say to this I suppose it's at least a reliable "talent."

 * Avatar: My sister tracks you down each time you get caught in a trap?
 * Setsuna: Yes. Lady Hinoka is very good about looking out for her retainers...

 * Setsuna: In that case, perhaps it would be easier to just pretend you don't see me next time? Lady Hinoka has always found me before, so I'll be OK.
 * Avatar: *sigh* That's not the point, Setsuna. You being caught in traps for hours isn't good for you---or for the group.
 * Setsuna: Oh, it's never for hours, milord. It's usually a day or two before Lady Hinoka is able to figure out where I got caught.

 * Avatar: I never knew...
 * Oboro: It all happened on a moonless night, just like this one. I can't help but remember when the sky gets black.

 * Avatar: ...
 * Hana: The stories of my father's accomplishments fill me with pride. He passed from this world while he was protecting the king. But even in death he fulfilled his purpose—his devotion to the king symbolized his life. For a samurai, to die in service is really the best possible death.

 * Hana: Hello, Lord Avatar.
 * Avatar: Oh, hello there, Hana.
 * Hana: What's the matter? You look really anxious. Don't worry—I promise I won't get mad at you anymore!
 * Avatar: Oh, good. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried about that...
 * Hana: I wanted to thank you again for showing me a better way to lead my life as a samurai. That's why I came to see you.
 * Avatar: I don't know if I actually deserve your thanks, really.
 * Hana: Why would you say that? You have such a strange expression on you face. Do you need to use the chamber pot?
 * Avatar: What?! No!
 * Hana: Heehee. Then what's the matter?
 * Avatar: I was hoping you'd be able to guess, but I'll go ahead and just tell you. Hana, listen closely. I told you the other day that I didn't want you to die. But I realized later, as I thought about what I said, that I had more reasons... More than just for the well-being of you or Sakura.
 * Hana: What is that supposed to mean?!
 * Avatar: Part of why I said what I said was selfish. Because Ilike you. I don't want you to die... because I have feelings for you.
 * Hana: Y-you do?!
 * Avatar: I said some high and mighty stuff the other day, and I'm sorry about that. Afterward... I realized in my heart of hearts... I was just selfishly thinking of my feelings for you.
 * Hana: Oh, I never knew... ... Oh jezz, this is so embarrassing! I mean, for me! This is the first time anyone has confessed their feelings for me!
 * Avatar: Imagine how I feel!
 * Hana: But I'm happy. I'm so happy.
 * Avatar: Then... you like me too?
 * Hana: Yes, I like you a lot. I mean, you taught me something about being a good samurai. I love you, in fact!
 * Avatar: Just like you've protected Sakura all this time, I'd like to be able to protect you now.
 * Hana: I'll protect you too! Oh, are we going to make this a competition? I won't lose! I'll protect you just like I protect Sakura, because you're important to me!
 * Avatar: Oh that reminds me. You'll basically be an older sister to her now... I hope you can handle that responsability!
 * Hana: Uh... Oh, gosh! She... she'd be my little sister!
 * Avatar: Is that going to make things awkward?
 * Hana: No, sorry, that was excitement, not terror! I mean, not only are you and I connected to each other in such a wonderful way, but... now I'll share a new and amazing connection with Sakura, too! Because of you, two really great things have happened today...
 * Avatar: Hana... I'm glad you're happy. I love you more than anyone.
 * Hana: Lord Avatar...
 * Hana: I'm so glad you told me so, I love you too! We'll be the best couple in the world!

 * 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*

 * 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!

 * Avatar: Have a moment, Orochi?
 * Orochi: I live to serve, Lord Avatar.
 * Avatar: I was wondering if you could tell me a little more about my mother.
 * Orochi: Lady Mikoto—a remarkable woman. I'd be delighted to share my memories of her.
 * Avatar: I barely had a chance to get to know my mother. So little time, because of what I... Hmm. Anyway, could you share some stories about her?
 * Orochi: Trust me when I say she wouldn't have blamed you for what happened. And she'd be saddened if you blamed yourself, Lord Avatar. But yes, a story—a funny one! That's what we need.


 * Avatar: She seemed so graceful. You know funny stories about her?
 * Orochi: Oh, she was endlessly hilarious. One time, I recall catching her swimming— with her slippers on! She'd forget she had two chopsticks in hand—and eat with four! Some might say she was absentminded. Not I. She was a dreamer of dreams. So what if Lady Mikoto had her silly mishaps. We loved her for it.
 * Avatar: Please, go on.
 * Orochi: Once she sat cross-legged for so long, her legs went to sleep. And I am talking a DEEP sleep! She stood up before the court—and careened right into a fountain!
 * Avatar: I wish I could have been there. Er, at least to help her out of the water.
 * Orochi: Your mother was truly unique, like a wise sage and an accidental jester. She had the sweetest voice, but the things she would say... Honestly, that dear woman—she really was a hoot.
 * Avatar: Thanks, Orochi. That's exactly what I needed to hear right now.

 * Orochi: Hello there, Lord Avatar.
 * Avatar: Oh, Orochi! Thank you for sharing those funny stories about my mother last time.
 * Orochi: I fear I made her out to be a buffoon. Far from the truth.
 * Avatar: You did no such thing. You revealed a side I would never have known.
 * Orochi: But she had many facets. That woman was a gem. I'd like to tell you about the side of her that was kindness itself.
 * Avatar: I'm all ears.
 * Orochi: She was kind enough to treat me with the greatest respect. My family has long served as diviners at the royal palace. But we'd been treated very poorly.
 * Avatar: I can't believe that. Really?
 * Orochi: We diviners tell as many bad fortunes as good, which can make us unpopular.
 * Avatar: How unjust. To speak the truth, and be blamed for it?
 * Orochi: Indeed. But my fate was changed when I met Lady Mikoto. She treated me like her own daughter. No matter what fortunes I told her.
 * Avatar: A rare soul, I guess.
 * Orochi: The rarest! Why, once I saw enemies outside the palace... I rushed at them, tried to drive them off by myself, and got hurt badly. She wept at my bedside that night, and many nights after that. Once I got better, Lady Mikoto said I must never run off like that again. To make sure that I didn't, she made me one of her personal attendants.
 * Avatar: She sounds like perfection.
 * Orochi: Lady Mikoto was so kind, being in her presence was like basking in the sun.
 * Avatar: A beautiful memory. Thank you for sharing it.
 * Orochi: Of course. Now if you'll excuse me, Lord Avatar... Th-those are all the memories that Orochi has in her right now.

 * Orochi: Ah, Lord Avatar. May I share one last thought about your mother?
 * Avatar: Of course. Your tales are like pearls, Orochi.
 * Orochi: As I have said, she had many facets. Funny, kind, wise, brilliant... ...... And also dark.
 * Avatar: Oh?
 * Orochi: She usually shone, one way or another, no matter when you saw her. But then I'd catch her alone, a shadow in her features... She fell into dark spells, and I believe she was always thinking of...
 * Avatar: Me.
 * Orochi: Yes, you—or so I believe. She was agonizing over the loss of her son. Before her people, and at court, she was always bright as the sun. Yet she was unafraid to show this troubled side to me and Kagero.
 * Avatar: My poor mother...
 * Orochi: I wasn't sure whether to tell you. It's not a happy memory. And yet, in a way, it is. That was the side of her that loved you—missed you—deeply.
 * Avatar: Th-thank you, Orochi. I suspect no one knew her quite as well as you. That side of her, I feel it too. But in the darkness is love. I must do what I can to defend all those she also feared losing.
 * Orochi: I know she'd want you to take heart from all this loss.
 * Avatar: You're among those she held most dearly, Orochi.
 * Orochi: Perhaps. In any case, I loved Lady Mikoto very much. She was like a mother to me. So, of course, I feel very close to you. I hope I...haven't overstepped.

 * Orochi: You'll have to pardon my outburst. Let's change the topic.
 * Avatar: All right, Orochi. I know you well enough by now NOT to let it go. Come on, tell me—what were you laughing about?
 * Orochi: All right, if you must know. We've confided a lot, you and I, so there's no point in secrets now.
 * Avatar: Secrets?
 * Orochi: I'll start over. Last time, I said I hoped I hadn't overstepped with you. Well, the truth is—augh!—I want to REALLY overstep with you.
 * Avatar: What?!
 * Orochi: I think in sharing all those facets of Lady Mikoto with you... I revealed many sides to myself too that no one knows but you.
 * Avatar: I...I feel just the same.
 * Orochi: Do you? Well, I've only just realized it. Which is why I laughed!
 * Avatar: HA!
 * Orochi: You see, Lord Avatar? It's ludicrous... you and I...and yet...
 * Avatar: Sorry. I just didn't see this coming either—not after all our sad talks. I mean, they were happy. Or bittersweet? Anyway, how'd we find ourselves here, of all places? HA!
 * Orochi: Well, we can't stand around here laughing all day. That'd be awkward.
 * Avatar: Truly, Orochi, I think I've felt like this for a while. The way you cared so much, to show me who my mother really was... You've changed my life.
 * Orochi: I swear I didn't tell you those things to hook myself a royal, Lord Avatar...!
 * Avatar: Whoa—hold on. You really need to stop saying crazy stuff!
 * Orochi: You'd better get used to it!

 * Avatar: Camilla, can we chat for a minute?
 * Camilla: Of course, my silly little Avatar! I mean...of course, Avatar. Is everything all right? You seemed so distressed the other day. And then you just ran off...
 * Avatar: I know. I just needed some time to think.
 * Camilla: Time to think?
 * Avatar: Yes. Sometimes you come on so strong, and my first reaction is to run and hide. But...I realized that that's pretty childish.
 * Camilla: Oh?
 * Avatar: I mean, here I am trying to get you to treat me as an adult... But I'm acting like a spoiled brat. I do need to work harder at empathizing with others. I know that your intentions are pure. And I appreciate how much you care for me. So...I'd like to spend more time with you. I promise I won't run away again.
 * Camilla: Awwww... *sob*
 * Avatar: Camilla?
 * Camilla: My little Avatar is growing up right before my eyes. So, where should we go first? There's a whole world out there to explore!
 * Avatar: Well, I thought you might have some ideas about that.
 * Camilla: Oh, I most certainly do! Look at this map.
 * Avatar: Did...did you just pull that out of your bra?
 * Camilla: Where else would I keep it? Now, let's see... Ah, yes. See all these circles?
 * Avatar: Yes... Is this a map of all of Nohr?
 * Camilla: Indeed. Oh, I've been planning this for ages! Now, each circle represents a place I've dreamed of visiting with you.
 * Avatar: I don't know what to say...
 * Camilla: First on the list is this field of flowers here. It's absolutely sublime—a living work of art. This circle is a cavern filled with sparkling crystals and mysterious rock formations. And, last but not least, a secluded hot spring not far from our current location...
 * Avatar: Really?
 * Camilla: Yes, I want more than anything to go together.
 * Avatar: Camilla, you meant for us to visit this hot spring from the very beginning, didn't you?
 * Camilla: Don't be ridiculous. It just so happens that it's a natural wonder.
 * Avatar: And it has nothing to do with the—what did you call it? Facial peel?
 * Camilla: Oh, well as long as we're there, we might as well TRY one...or two...
 * Avatar: Well...let me think about it. OK?
 * Camilla: Oh, certainly! I can wait. I mean, I've already been waiting for years. Take your time, brother. This will be like the blink of an eye.
 * Avatar: First things first... They don't actually peel your face off, do they?

 * Camilla: OK, I'm all packed, Avatar. Are you ready for our hot-spring vacation?
 * Avatar: Um... I'm actually having second thoughts about the whole thing, Camilla.
 * Camilla: You're still hung up on what other people will think—is that it?
 * Avatar: Yes, but it's more than that.
 * Camilla: Well, why don't we just get married? Nobody would bat an eyelash at two newlyweds going on a honeymoon.
 * Avatar: What?! How do you think people's eyelashes would respond to a brother marrying his sister?
 * Camilla: Oh, please. We're not blood related. And everyone knows that.
 * Avatar: But...we've lived as brother and sister for so long. And everyone knows THAT, too.
 * Camilla: You know, I've always been a bit sad that we're not actually related. But if we got married, we would be!
 * Avatar: Camilla, are you even listening to yourself?
 * Camilla: So, is that a no?
 * Avatar: I...I think it has to be a no, right? Even though there is a part of me that wants to say yes...
 * Camilla: There is? Let's build on that! Look, what's the hang-up? You don't find me attractive?
 * Avatar: Gods...I had hoped to avoid ever having this conversation...
 * Camilla: So that's it, then. You find me hideous.
 * Avatar: Camilla, no! It's just the opposite, I'm afraid. Growing up with a stunningly attractive sister...who's not ACTUALLY my sister... It was confusing, to say the least. And now that we're adults of no blood relation...
 * Camilla: Oh, Avatar. I never knew you felt that way!
 * Avatar: Exactly.
 * Camilla: But don't you see? There's no reason to hide our love any longer. I'll say it again: we are not related. There's no taboo preventing us from marrying. We're just like...childhood sweethearts who have finally come of age.
 * Avatar: ... ... All right.
 * Camilla: What?!
 * Avatar: Let's do it, Camilla. Let's ignore the dissenters and get married.
 * Camilla: Are you sure, Avatar? I don't want to feel as though I've pushed you into this...
 * Avatar: No. I'm certain. Thanks to you, I won't have to live with regret any longer. You've shown me that being an adult means being true to yourself. I love that about you...and I love you.
 * Camilla: I love you too, Avatar. Let's stay together forever.
 * Avatar: Once the war is over, we can travel wherever we like. Even to the hot spring you've been wanting to visit for so long.
 * Camilla: Wait, we still don't get to go right now?


 * Camilla: We're a real family now. And I love my family more than anything.

 * Avatar: I thought broadening my horizons might help me protect everyone... Now that we're at war, I can practice what I learn right away in a real battle.
 * Leo: The battlefield is not so kind, nor so simple. I'm sure you've learned that by now. Haven't you, Avatar?

 * Leo: However! I do think intellectual pursuits play a key role in keeping a mind sharp. That can make all the difference in the heat of battle. If you truly desire it, I will teach you anything you wish to know.

 * Avatar: Elise, please don't say that. I promise, no one thinks of you as a burden.
 * Elise: You're sweet to say that, Avatar. I love that you're always looking out for me. But that's exactly why I need to train! Thatway I can look out for myself instead!

 * Avatar: Nonsense. You've already improved quite a bit. Be patient. These things take time.
 * Elise: Do you mean it? You really think I've improved a lot?
 * Avatar: Absolutely. But the only way you'll keep getting better is to work hard every day.
 * Elise: You're right! No more moping around! I'm gonna do my best from here on out!

 * Avatar: Today we'll be working on your upper-body strength. Time for some push-ups! Go on, drop and give me twenty!
 * Elise: T-t-twenty push-ups? Like, in a row?! Is that even possible? And besides, aren't push-ups for big, burly, muscular types? Not cute little girls?
 * Avatar: That's just silly. Push-ups are for everyone. Everyone serious about training, anyway.
 * Elise: I see... Well, if you say so, Avatar. Here goes nothing... One... Two... Three... F-four...
 * Avatar: You're doing great. Keep it up!
 * Elise: Fiiiiive... Ugh...
 * Avatar: What's the matter? You're not quitting already, are you? If you want to get stronger, you can't give up when things get tough.
 * Elise: But...my arms are wobbly... and I'm getting all SWEATY.
 * Avatar: No pain, no gain. When you can't take any more, remember why you're training. You want to be a stronger version of yourself, right? This is how you get there. Think you can handle it?

 * Avatar: Not this again! Elise, you're brilliant and perfect just as you are. Just keep acting as you normally would. You have nothing to worry about.
 * Elise:  Maybe you're right! Maybe I don't need to change at all. After all, I already keep you in my heart when I'm playing or fighting... And also when I'm laughing or crying... Now I can keep you in my arms as well!

 * Effie: Certainly. But would you mind terribly if I continue working while we speak?
 * Avatar: Not at all.
 * Effie: Very well. I'll start at the beginning. I was born into extreme poverty--- a child of the streets. And yet Lady Elise herself would often visit my slum in disguise.

 * Effie: Oh, yes. Now, let me just grab another rock... HRAAAAAAA! Anyway, as I was saying, Lady Elise visited frequently, and we became fast friends. Hyup. HRRRRRGH! Whew! One day, while we were playing, some guards began harassing us. Lady Elise was forced to reveal her identity to get them to leave us alone.
 * Avatar: I see.
 * Effie: Her glory was so blinding at that moment that I can hardly describe it. YAAAAAHHHH!
 * Avatar: Pardon me, Effie, but your repairs are becoming too distracting!
 * Effie: How do you mean?
 * Avatar: I've never seen such feats of strength. It's all I can do to refrain from applauding! Perhaps you can finish telling me the story another time.
 * Effie: Sure, I suppose so, Lord Avatar. Although... I have a favor to ask of you.
 * Avatar: Certainly. Name it.
 * Effie: All this lifting is making me hungry. I know it's not your place, but... Would you mind terribly bringing me something to eat? A whole lot of something, preferably.

 * Peri: Uh-huh. I was bored, so I picked up my sword, and THWACK! I took a blood bath in the spray that came out! It's good for your skin, you know.
 * Avatar: E-eep... You... answer to Xander, yes?
 * Peri: I do! Me and Laslow are Lord Xander's top retainers. Lord Xander's great because he gives me lots of chances to bathe.
 * Avatar: (What was he thinking?!)
 * Peri: Did you say something?
 * Avatar: Me? No!
 * Peri: Lord Xander doesn't look at me weird, but everyone else sure does. Every soldier at the castle kept their distance from me.
 * Avatar: Do tell...
 * Peri: Some allies they were! They looked at me funny, and now they have to die!
 * Avatar: Th-there's no punishment you go to first before killing them? (Who have I let into my army?! I can't let her go killing people willy-nilly...!)
 * Peri: Thanks for listening. I feel a lot better! Here, you can have this in return. I baked it myself!
 * Avatar: A hidden talent, eh? Sure, I'll try it. Thank you very much, Peri.
 * Peri: You're very welcome!

 * Peri: Oh! Lord Avatar!
 * Avatar: No tears today, Peri? That's encouraging.
 * Peri: I know! People still look at me funny... But now they all want to try my snacks!
 * Avatar: I'm glad for you.
 * Peri: I know what you did for me. You talked to them all and told them how good my snacks are.
 * Avatar: Guilty as charged. I really did enjoy it, though!
 * Peri: Thanks, Lord Avatar!
 * Avatar: It probably helped that omitted the part about you killing your servants...
 * Peri: Sorry, I didn't catch that.
 * Avatar: Oh, er, I was just reviewing my agenda for the rest of the day.
 * Peri: What a great day! I'm going to keep churning out treats for everybody. Especially for you, Lord Avatar!
 * Avatar: For me?
 * Peri: Yup! I like being your ally. You were nice to me, so I'll be nice to you. Like when you listened to my problems.
 * Avatar: You're very welcome, Peri. I'm really pleased to see this outpouring of goodwill from you. I can see now why Xander chose you as his retainer.
 * Peri: Oh yeah?
 * Avatar: Yes. And I don't think it was entirely because of your bloodlust. Xander saw the kindness in you, and that's why he wanted you in his company. I want to make sure I recognized and reward kindness, just as he did.
 * Peri: Thanks, Lord Avatar. I hope you'll be kind to me, too. We'll be spending lots of time together!
 * Avatar: I'm looking forward to it.

 * Peri: There you are, Lord Avatar! I was looking all over for you!
 * Avatar: Ah, Peri. I was looking for you too.
 * Peri: You were? Huh. Well, I'll go first anyway! Come see!

 * Peri: Ta-daaaa!
 * Avatar: Gods! This is enough to feed an army!

 * Avatar: Of course.
 * Peri: Whew, because I have plenty here! Go on- have some!
 * Avatar: Maybe just a bite... Mmm! *chomp* *snarf* *nom* What is this, Peri? I've never had anything like it!
 * Peri: Yay! Lord Avatar likes it! I couldn't find any good ingredients, so I had my servants from home bring some!
 * Avatar: ...You didn't kill them afterward, right?
 * Peri: Of course not, silly. They did a great job!
 * Avatar: Whew... Peri... you know what I'd really like? If I could eat your amazing food every day.
 * Peri: You're serious? Lord Avatar, are you asking me to...?
 * Avatar: Yes. That's why I was looking for you, in fact.
 * Peri: Oh, I'm sorry, but... I can't be your personal chef!
 * Avatar: My what? N-no, that's not what I meant. What I wanted to ask was, um... your hand in marriage.
 * Peri: M-marriage? To Lord Avatar? Someone, pinch me...
 * Avatar: It's not a joke... or a dream. I genuinely feel that way about you.
 * Peri: I...I... Uh... urghh... *sniff* Waaaaaaaaah!
 * Avatar: Wh-why are you crying? Are you that opposed to the idea?
 * Peri: No, no! Crying isn't always for sad times. Sometimes I cry when I'm happy! And right now, I'm very, very happy. I love you too, Lord Avatar!
 * Avatar: Then you'll accept my proposal?
 * Peri: Yes...!
 * Avatar: Wonderful! I'll make sure our home is up to your aristocratic standards. I want you to live in the style you're accustomed to, with servants. I'l make sure to hire hardy folk, who won't die when you attack them.
 * Peri: This is perfect! I'm so excited! Thank you so much, Lord Avatar! I promise to be a good wife!
 * Peri: I know nothing will ever come between us...

 * Avatar: Oh no! Wait, what's a yukata?
 * Selena: You don't even know what a yukata is? Well, for your information, it's a super- cute dress-type thing from Hoshido.
 * Avatar: Oh. But aren't you from Nohr?
 * Selena: What does that have to do with it? And who said I was from Nohr?
 * Avatar: Sorry, I'm confused—
 * Selena: Why does it matter where I'm from? I can wear whatever I want.
 * Avatar: No argument here. If the shoe fits...
 * Selena: I thought I told you it was a dress, not a shoe. And OF COURSE it fits—I looked fabulous! But now I CAN'T FIND IT.
 * Avatar: No need to shout. I'm sure it's around here somewhere...
 * Selena: Don't you know anything? I was fishing for a compliment there. Jeez!
 * Avatar: I'm sorry?
 * Selena: Whatever. Are you going to help me find my yukata or not?

 * Selena: Hey, Avatar! Didja find my yukata yet?
 * Avatar: Sorry, I haven't. But, to be honest, after we spent so much time looking the other day... I sort of assumed it was gone forever. So I haven't been looking very hard.
 * Selena: Ugh! You give up too easily.
 * Avatar: Well, I did look all around the castle, and I asked a few people about it.
 * Selena: Well, you feel that you tried your best. I guess that's good enough for some people.
 * Avatar: *sigh*
 * Selena: You're sighing? It's like you don't even WANT to find my yukata.
 * Avatar: Selena, I would truly like to help you find it, if only for my own personal relief. Maybe you could tell me a bit more about the garment...
 * Selena: All right... It's burgundy with a tiny cherry blossom pattern. It's the same color my mother used to wear a lot. But it probably looked better on her, of course...
 * Avatar: Why would you say that?
 * Selena: Well, she was perfect and she had perfect taste. Kinda hard to live up to that. Not that I don't come pretty darn close!
 * Avatar: She "was" perfect? Did she pass away?
 * Selena: Yeah, but whatever. I'm over it. Anyway, we're talking about my yukata here. You got the details memorized?
 * Avatar: Er, yes. Burgundy with cherry blossoms. Oh, one other thing. What size was it?
 * Selena: What SIZE?
 * Avatar: Er, yes?
 * Selena: That's kind of personal, don't you think? What if I asked you what color of underwear you were wearing, huh?
 * Avatar: Um...
 * Selena: Oh, great. Now you're probably thinking about MY underwear. You're so nosy, you know that?
 * Avatar: Selena, please listen! I wasn't thinking anything like that! I just want to help you find your yukata. I thought it might be helpful to know the size.
 * Selena: All right, fine. It's a regular size yukata. Not large, not small. REGULAR. Got it?
 * Avatar: Regular-sized. Got it.
 * Selena: Now, are you done interrogating me? Will you hurry up and start searching?
 * Avatar: Yes, I will be glad to take my leave of you at this point.

 * Selena: I mean...we've both looked all over for the darn thing, and it's just gone. I'm sorry I wasted your time. I know you've got a lot of important stuff going on.
 * Avatar: Selena...
 * Selena: Just so we're clear, I'm not grateful.
 * Avatar: Well, I'm glad you could clear that up.
 * Selena: I guess I'll just have to make a new yukata. It'll probably be challenging, but with my level of talent, I'm sure it will turn out.
 * Avatar: I think that's a good idea, Selena. Camilla is always saying how talented you are.
 * Selena: She...she is? I mean... Of course she is. By the way, what's your size?
 * Avatar: My size? You got so upset when I asked about your size the other day.
 * Selena: Ughhh. This is for a gift so it's TOTALLY DIFFERENT, duh.
 * Avatar: Fair enough. I was just teasing! But you don't need to get me a gift.
 * Selena: Well don't worry. It's not like it's a good gift or anything. I just thought that if I had some leftover scraps of material... Maybe, if I had time, I could sew them together into a yukata for you. Whatever! I probably won't have enough material or I'll forget or something.
 * Avatar: I see. Well, it's the thought that counts.
 * Selena: Great. So now we just need to go find some cute fabric. Ready to go?
 * Avatar: Um...
 * Selena: What do you mean, "um"? Are you ready or not? Most people would BEG for a chance to go shopping with me.
 * Avatar: I'm sure I'll be begging for something by the end of the trip...

 * Avatar: Well, I'm glad I caught you. Because there's no need for you to go. Here, take this.
 * Selena: This fabric... It's the same as my missing yukata!
 * Avatar: Indeed! I found a place that was willing to make a custom order for you.
 * Selena: Oh, gods... I don't deserve this. I've been so awful to you. To everyone...
 * Avatar: No! Don't say that. I mean, sure, you've been prickly, but that's just who you are. Y'know, it's funny. I've actually grown somewhat fond of being belittled—
 * Selena: Then marry me.

 * Avatar: See, that wasn't so hard. You'll be the first to know if I come across any mystic-looking mirrors. On a different subject, though...
 * Nyx: Yes?

 * Avatar: What?
 * Nyx: As a result of a serious error I made in my youth, I'm stuck in this form. I haven't physically aged in may years, but mentally, I'm quite old. If only I could see my true form...
 * Avatar: Oh, I see now.

 * Avatar: Morning! What are you doing up so early?
 * Caeldori: Just doing my morning training. I've been sprinting for the last hour!
 * Avatar: Wow! How many sprints have you done?
 * Caeldori: Huh? Just the one!
 * Avatar: Y-you mean you've been sprinting for an hour straight?!
 * Caeldori: Yeah. I just wish I could go for longer. This is nothing compared to what Father can do. If he wanted, he'd be up even earlier, doing mountain trails at top speed, no sweat!
 * Avatar: Ah...did Subaki tell you this?
 * Caeldori: Nope! But Father is perfect, so I'm sure it'd be a piece of cake for him.
 * Avatar: Right. Um. You really look up to your father, don't you?
 * Caeldori: Don't we all? By the way, did you know that he praises you a lot too,Lord Avatar? Not just that you're a skilled fighter, but that you've a good mind for strategy too. He also says you're very knowledgeable and charismatic.
 * Avatar: Huh. Really? I never knew he thought all that.
 * Caeldori: He says that sometimes he thinks you must be a gift from the heavens.One of those rare people who can do just about anything. A hero who appears in times of terrible crisis.
 * Avatar: Uh. Does he now? I think he might have gotten a little carried away...
 * Caeldori: Lord Avatar--will you be my mentor?
 * Avatar: What?! Why?
 * Caeldori: I told you--Father has so much respect for you? There must be so much you could teach me! Please, make me your disciple!
 * Avatar: But don't you think Subaki would make a better mentor than me?
 * Caeldori: Maybe...but he always says he doesn't like doing that sort of thing.Teaching, I mean. He didn't even change his mind when I said he was the only one who'd do! I kept saying "You're the best there is!" but he started sweating and just left. Funny enough, that's when he told me how incredible you were!
 * Avatar: Oh. (Oh, Subaki--why hast thou forsaken me?)

 * Avatar: No, no! Haha! It's nothing, just talking to myself.
 * Caeldori: OK! Well then, I look forward to receiving your sure-handed guidance in the future!

 * Caeldori: What do you mean?
 * Avatar: I mean you're already incredibly skilled in one-on-one fights. Only very few with comparable arms and armor can stand against you.
 * Caeldori: Which is exactly why I must train--to maintain my skills in this area.
 * Avatar: That's a great sentiment, but I think there are other things you could be working on. For example, I've noticed that in the field, your teamwork isn't always perfect. Sometimes you go too fast, or take risks to yourself in order to help others. It's laudable, but dangerous. An army must fight as one body, not many. So it may be better to save your energy for our team drills.
 * Caeldori: Hm. You're right. I never thought of it like that before. My apologies, milord. I promise to do better in the future. For tonight, I'll rest up and reserve my energy for tomorrow's team drills.

 * Avatar: I am. Is it time to begin today's lessons already? What did you want to do first? Sparring, small-unit tactics, military logistics... Heh. It just struck me. I've been working much harder to improve myself lately. Ever since you became my pupil, I've just been so driven. It may be bad for a mentor to say this, but I almost don't want you to outpace me. I don't want to lose you, I guess. Haha.


 * Caeldori: Truly? Then...I've a favor to ask you. I want you to teach me something new.
 * Avatar: Something new? OK, sure. I'll do my best. I'm a little nervous though. I'm anxious you'll throw a really complicated question at me. But whatever it is, I'll answer it! It's my duty as a teacher!


 * Caeldori: OK. Here goes.
 * Avatar: Something the matter, Caeldori? You're blushing.


 * Caeldori: I've admired Father all my life, and so I've always striven to be perfect like him. But since I became your pupil, I've come to see other things are more important. Instead of trying to be a perfect person, I now want to be a good person.
 * Avatar: A good person?

'''
 * Caeldori: Yes. Like you. You always put the needs of others before your own. Even when dangerous, you choose mercy, compassion, and kindness over all else. And I started to think that I'd like to be that kind of person too.
 * Avatar: Haha. Thank you for the kind words, but I don't know if I'm as saintly as you think. But as far as trying to be a good person--that's a noble goal. It's a bit vague, though. Is there anything in partiular you'd like me to teach you?
 * Caeldori: Yes. You have many wonderful qualities, but the one I admire most is your compassion... So...I want you to teach me...about love.
 * Avatar: Agh--um--er--you--what?!
 * Caeldori: I see. That's OK. It was foolish of me to ask.
 * Avatar: I-I just don't think I have anything to teach you. I mean, there's nothing to teach, right? You just have to learn for yourself. Besides, I'm not sure how it would help you to be a good person...
 * Caeldori: OK! I'm sorry! You look so flustered. This isn't at all how I'd wanted things to go...Why do I always fall in love with men who never love me back? In the Deeprealms, I fell in love with my guardian...who was married. With kids. And after I left, I fell for someone who turned out to be engaged to another. Agh! I'm so pathetic! How will Father ever respect me?
 * Avatar: You went through all that? I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to-- I never-- Wait, does this mean you love...?
 * Caeldori: You? Yes, it does.
 * Avatar: I-I see...
 * Caeldori: If you're going to reject me, then get on with it. I understand. It's what's always happened. I'm used to it by now.
 * Avatar: No, no. Caeldori...I love you too. It's just...
 * Caeldori: What? What is it?
 * Avatar: If we're to be together, I can't be your mentor anymore. We must be equals. I'll still teach you things, but I want to learn from you as well. Is that OK?
 * Caeldori: Yes! Of course it is! Oh, Avatar. So then you'll be mine?
 * Avatar: Well, in that case...yes. I will.
 * Caeldori: Really?! Thank you! Thank you so much!
 * Avatar: Haha. There's no need to thank me, Caeldori. I'm not doing it as a favor. I'm doing it because I love you.
 * Caeldori: Oh. Yes, of course. I'm just so happy. It's like all my prayers have been answered. It's the first time in my life I've ever felt this way. I promise, I will do everything in my power to make you happy...my love.
