 * Avatar: *yawn* Woke up a little early today. Maybe I should make the rounds...
 * Caeldori: *pant* *pant* Oh, Lord Avatar! Good morning!
 * 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?)
 * Caeldori: Huh? Did you say something?
 * 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!
 * Avatar: Good grief. So Subaki set me up. Ah, well, I can't say I blame him. He probably just didn't want to let her down. Let's hope I don't, either...

 * Caeldori: Hah! Hyah!
 * Avatar: Whoa-whoa-whoa?!
 * Caeldori: Oh no! Are you OK, Lord Avatar?!
 * Avatar: Y-yeah. I think so.  Just slipped.  Haha...
 * Caeldori: I'm sorry. I got carried away and went overboard.  You could have really been hurt!
 * Avatar: No, it's not your fault. I was just clumsy.
 * Caeldori: Lord Avatar... You're amazing!  To downplay my mistake in order to make me reflect further on it!
 * Avatar: What?
 * Caeldori: Wait. And now that I think about it, my blow didn't even land on you.  You said you fell, but you really just dodged it, didn't you?
 * Avatar: Er, tempting as it may be to say so, I really did just slip.
 * Caeldori: The skill it must have taken to dodge that and make it look like a mistake! Incredible!  Wait! And you're trying to deceive me...  A-ha!  I see what you're up to!  Article 53 of Book 9 of Royal Discourses on Military Strategy!  You sly fox!
 * Avatar: Caeldori, look--
 * Caeldori: "In war one should look to deceive one's enemies as to one's own strengths. That is the true path to success."  You were trying to teach me another lesson!  Wow...I wonder what other lessons you've been subtly trying to teach me!
 * Avatar: Uh...
 * Caeldori: "Do not be ostentatious, but rather act as if success happens by chance." Page 30 in Article 8 of Book 18!  I knew Father was right about you!  I'm so glad you agreed to teach me.
 * Avatar: Uh, yeah...me too.

 * Avatar: Caeldori? What's wrong?  I thought you did your naginata training in the morning.
 * Caeldori: I didn't...have time to train this morning...so I'm doing it now...instead!
 * Avatar: But the sun's about to go down. It's not safe to train at night.  Maybe you should call it a day.
 * Caeldori: No! *grunt* I have...to finish.  If I skip even one day...all my hard work...will have been for nothing!
 * Avatar: But if you overexert yourself and get hurt, it'll be even worse!
 * Caeldori: I'm fine. A few extra...repetitions aren't gonna...kill me.  I know my...limits!  Ahhhhh.  Phew.  Break time.
 * Avatar: Look, Caeldori, I think it's very admirable how strict you are about your routines. But what exactly are you trying to accomplish?
 * 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: Wonderful. Thank you for listening to me, Caeldori.
 * Caeldori: Of course. You're very wise, milord.  It looks as though I've much to learn from you yet.
 * Avatar: Er--I mean, "wise" might be a tad overstating it. I didn't say anything special.
 * Caeldori: To think, my mentor is such an incredible man. Such genius!  Oh, I so look forward to our future lessons!
 * Avatar: Ack. I was really hoping she'd be over that stuff by now.  But I guess it's not the worst thing in the world to have someone look up to you.  I'll just have to work that much harder to make sure I don't disappoint her!

 * Caeldori: Avatar. Are you free?
 * 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.
 * Caeldori: Our love is eternal; somehow I just know it. If we cross paths again in a distant future, dear love...promise you'll remember me.  Promise...

 * Caeldori: Hm...the advance troops have just received fresh recruits, so they'll be needing tents. And a larger shipment of grain.  Have the quartermaster make the arrangements.
 * Hoshidan: At once, milady. And would you like him to resume his duties managing the armory?
 * Caeldori: No. I will continue to oversee the armory personally.  On that note, please go to the smiths and requisition the items on this list.  Delivery is expected within the fortnight.
 * Hoshidan: Yes, milady. Right away, milady.
 * Felicia: You certainly have been busy, haven't you?
 * Caeldori: Mother! How can I help you?
 * Felicia: I heard the supply division was short of hands and thought I could help. But it looks like you've got it all under control!  Whoever appointed you really knew what they were doing.
 * Caeldori: You flatter me, but I've got plenty of room for improvement yet. I've only just begun to learn the ropes.
 * Felicia: Oh, you're just being modest. Now.  How can I be of service?
 * Caeldori: Thank you, Mother. I appreciate the offer, truly, but I have nothing for you to do.  All I've left is the inventory.
 * Felicia: Y-you were going to do the entire army's inventory all by yourself?! I'm not going to let you do that!  Let's go.  It'll be much faster if I help.
 * Caeldori: Well, see, about that--
 * Felicia: Here, show me the list. We just need to make sure the numbers match, right?
 * Caeldori: I-- Er.  Please give that back.  It's important.
 * Felicia: Wait, this isn't an inventory! What is it?  Some kind of diagram?
 * Caeldori: Er, something like that, yes. It's a plan for the armory I drew up a little while ago.  If the supplies are stored according to the plan, they can be counted very easily.  It takes a fraction of the time and...only one person.  I'm sorry, Mother.
 * Felicia: I see. With this, you certainly wouldn't need any extra help...  You're certain there's nothing I can do?
 * Caeldori: Hmm... Well...  Oh!  I prepared some tea earlier!  If you'd like, you may certainly help yourself to some!  It's over there, in the corner.
 * Felicia: Oh. O-OK.  (I...I feel so useless.  I want...to die...)
 * Caeldori: Hmm? Did you say something, Mother?
 * Felicia: N-no! Nothing.  Nothing at all.

 * Caeldori: All right, these crates are fully loaded. Have we moved the damaged weapons yet?
 * Hoshidan: Yes, milady. They are en route to the smiths as we speak.
 * Caeldori: Good. Then all that is left is to deliver the new ones to the front.  See to it.
 * Hoshidan: Immediately, milady.
 * Felicia: ...Hi.
 * Caeldori: Wah! M-Mother!  I didn't see you!  Wait, what are you doing?!  It's dangerous to hide in there!  We put weapons in those barrels...
 * Felicia: Oh, r-really? My goodness, I could have died!  I didn't even realize...  I was just watching you work and didn't want to disturb you...
 * Caeldori: Is something wrong? You seem a little off today.
 * Felicia: Oh, no. I'm fine!  I just came by to offer my help again, but it looks like you still don't need any.  You're very impressive.  No hesitation.  Precise, rapid orders.  Intense focus.  You're a born natural!  So natural, in fact, that I had nothing to offer you.  So I guess I'll just sit in the corner here and drink my tea while you work.  Again. *siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip*
 * Caeldori: Mother...
 * Felicia: You really take after your father, don't you? Intelligence, charisma, skill, beauty...  You've got all his gifts.  Not much motherly resemblance there, I suppose...
 * Caeldori: I-- Mother, come now, you--
 * Felicia: Heehee. Don't worry, Caeldori.  It's a good thing.  Really, it is.  I don't want to get in your way, so I'll just be going now.  Keep up the good work!
 * Caeldori: Mother! Oh, hogwhistles!  She's gone.

 * Caeldori: Oh, Mother! How can I help you?
 * Hinoka: I heard the supply division was short of hands and thought I could help. But it looks like you've got it all handled. Whoever appointed you really knew what they were doing, huh? It's a good fit for a workhorse like you.
 * Caeldori: You flatter me, but I've got plenty of room for improvement yet. I'm still very new to this kind of work.
 * Hinoka: Yeah, yeah, enough with the false modesty, kiddo! Now, what can your ma help with? Any heavy lifting in need of doing?
 * Caeldori: Thank you, Mother. I appreciate your offer, truly, but I have nothing for you to do.  All I've left is the inventory.
 * Hinoka: Then I'll help with that! With an army this size, it's got to take a while for one person to count everything.
 * Caeldori: Well, see, about that—
 * Hinoka: Here, show me the list. We just need to make sure the numbers match, right?
 * Caeldori: I—Er. Please give that back.  It's important.
 * Hinoka: Huh? This isn't a log. What is it? Some kind of map?
 * Caeldori: Er, something like that, yes. It's a plan for the armory I drew up a little while ago.  If the supplies are stored according to the plan, they can be counted very easily.  It takes a fraction of the time and... only one person.  I'm sorry, Mother.
 * Hinoka: I see... So you're sure there's nothing else I can do?
 * Caeldori: Well, I've prepared some tea for just such an occasion. Please, help yourself. Over there.
 * Hinoka: Uh. OK, Sure. Sounds delicious... (Am I... am I being coddled? Who does she think she is?)
 * Caeldori: Hmm? Did you say something, Mother?
 * Hinoka: N-no! Nothing, dear.

 * Hinoka: Oh, no. I'm fine. Nothing's wrong. Why would anything be wrong? Hahahaha! I just came to offer my help again, but it looks like you still don't need it. I'm impressed, to be honest.

 * Caeldori: There you are, Mother!
 * Hinoka: Oh! Uh... hi, Caeldori.
 * Caeldori: Do you have some time? I wanted to speak to you about something.
 * Hinoka: S-sure, of course. What do you need?
 * Caeldori: Well, the last time we talked, you said that I was just like Father. But I don't think that's true. Fighting, riding, speaking—it all comes to him as naturally as breathing. I'm not like that.
 * Hinoka: Huh? What do you mean?
 * Caeldori: I mean that... I have never seen Father work hard at anything. But I have seen you do, so. I know that you trained for years to acquire your skills. It was your work ethic that gave me the courage to improve myself. You made me understand that I didn't need to be naturally perfect to succeed in life. So thank you, Mother. I would not be who I am without you.
 * Hinoka: Caeldori... Thank you. It makes me so happy to hear you say that. Gah, I feel so stupid! Gettint this emotional over something so silly.
 * Caeldori: No, Mother, it's all right. Just... please, never think you are not as important a part of me as Father, OK?
 * Hinoka: OK. OK. You're right. Heh. How did I get so lucky, to have a daughter like you? I'm so pround of you, Caeldori. Thank you.

 * Caeldori: Heeee-yah! Hah!  Hyah!  Pchew!  Pchoo pchoo pchoo!  Blamm-o!  Nyoom!  Kshaw!
 * Subaki: I have to say, I'm quite impressed.
 * Caeldori: F-Father?! What are you doing here?
 * Subaki: Oh, nothing. Just observing.  Your form is flawless, even when there's no one around.  You could have stepped out of an Arms Scroll, I swear.  Or even a painting.  I can see it now: your naginata set athwart beams of evening sunlight--
 * Caeldori: Stop! I get it.  I have much to work on.  There's no need to mock me like this!
 * Subaki: I'm not mocking you. I'm serious.  Your skill is astounding.
 * Caeldori: You're only saying that because I'm your daughter.
 * Subaki: Oh, so I'm just being a doting father, eh? Well, I guess it can't be helped, with a daughter as perfect and adorable as you!
 * Caeldori: Oh, knock it off!
 * Subaki: All right, all right, fine. Haha.  Well then, on with it.  Don't stop training on my account.  I can't wait to see more of that gorgeous naginata work.
 * Caeldori: It's a little hard to concentrate when you keep saying things like that.
 * Subaki: There it is again! You know, you keep saying that, but you never miss a step.  You might be the most frightening warrior in the world, you know that?  I look forward to seeing how far you'll go.
 * Caeldori: (HE'S looking forward to seeng MY skills? Ugh.  I can't mess up now.)  Here we go!  Hyah!  Wah!  Yahhh!  SEIYAAA!  Take...that...evil!  And that!  And that!

 * Caeldori: Hello, Father.
 * Subaki: Caeldori! What do you need?
 * Caeldori: I was wondering if you would be my sparring partner.
 * Subaki: Sparring partner? Are you sure?
 * Caeldori: Yes. I want to learn to fight as flawlessly as you.
 * Subaki: High praise, coming from one such as you! I'm honored, my child. Very well. I'll teach you all that I know.
 * Caeldori: Really? Thank you so much, Father!
 * Subaki: Heh. Let's get started then, shall we?
 * Caeldori: All right! Prepare yourself!
 * Caeldori: *huff* *puff* How... did I... do?
 * Subaki: Honestly? I think you were the very image of perfection.
 * Caeldori: Really?!
 * Subaki: Really. I don't think there's a person alive who could match your movements. And you seem to have developed your own style of fighting. It's interesting. Yes, you were elegant and impressive, as always, Caeldori.
 * Caeldori: "As always"? You mean I haven't improved since the last time you saw me training?
 * Subaki: W-well, yes, but that's to be expected! It hasn't been that long since then...
 * Caeldori: So you were just complimenting me like you always do. Regardless of my actual merit.
 * Subaki: Well, when you say it like that, it sounds terrible! But...yes. But only because I think your fighting style has always been perfect! Honest! Even when you were just beginning!
 * Caeldori: Ugh... So now I'm only as good as I was when I was a beginner? I guess I can't even trust my own father for an honest opinion. Oh well. I'd better just keep training. HIII-YAH!

 * Caeldori: *huff* *puff* Ogre toes! I'm still not improving!
 * Subaki: You're working even harder than usual, Caeldori. What's up?
 * Caeldori: Hello, Father. Nothing is up. Since I can't train with you, I've decided to just train twice as hard on my own.
 * Subaki: Hey, come on, now. Don't say that! Of course you can train with me.
 * Caeldori: No. You're too gentle on me. You never give me honest feedback. Even when my thrusts are weak, or my balance is off, or I step too wide. Even if I were to fall on my backside, you'd probably just say I did it gracefully. But if you always do that, then I'll never perfect my technique.
 * Subaki: Caeldori, why are you obsessed with being perfect?
 * Caeldori: What?
 * Subaki: Answer me. What is it that's driving you?
 * Caeldori: I-er... It's you, Father. I want to be a fighter you can be proud of.
 * Subaki: Well, if that's the case, don't sweat it. I am already proud of you. And your fighting skills truly are remarkable. I'm not just saying that. I think whatever idiosyncrasies and flaws you might have only add to your power. There's value in having a unique style. You can surprise your enemies, for one thing. Well, as long as there aren't any amateur mistakes. Those will get you killed. But you're no amateur, Caeldori. I promise.
 * Caeldori: But I-
 * Subaki: You shouldn't be so concerned with perfection. It's a dream. A myth. You're fine just the way you are. More than fine. You are an outstanding young woman.
 * Caeldori: Father...
 * Subaki: Don't get me wrong. You shouldn't stop training so hard on my account. But you shouldn't continue to do it simply to impress me- or anyone else. If you try to be perfect for everyone else, it will destroy you inside. That's not something I want for you.
 * Caeldori: ...Do you find it difficult to appear perfect sometimes, Father?
 * Subaki: Haha! Very perceptive of you. I suppose it might get trying from time to time, sure.
 * Caeldori: Well, whatever the case may be, know you don't have to put up a front around me. You're my father. My esteem for you will not diminish so easily.
 * Subaki: Caeldori... Thank you. But don't worry about me too much. Just take care of yourself, OK?
 * Caeldori: I see... Very well then. Thank you, Father. Well, let's call it a day. Would you like to get something to eat with me? I know a particularly good place in a town not far from here.
 * Subaki: That sounds great. Let's go!

 * Sophie: Hey, Caeldori. I'm glad I caught you. I have so many questions for you! Are you free right now?
 * Caeldori: Let me consult my checklist... Sure enough! I've accomplished everything I set out to do with time to spare. Except for this one last entry, "Chat with Sophie". So this is perfect!
 * Sophie: Really?! I was on your list? Yay! I've been thinking we should be friends, since you're such a good rider! And since my own horseback-riding skills are... well, you know.
 * Caeldori: Err, yes, they're certainly unorthodox. I see examples of them often on the battlefield. Up on my pegasus, I get a good view of everything happening beneath me. It's not how I ride, but you've got your own method that I'm sure works well for you. It's nice that the enemy is usually afraid to get near you, right?
 * Sophie: Oof! I guess I deserve that... But I can tell you care, no matter how clumsy I am.
 * Caeldori: We've dwelled on this long enough... Hmmm... What else...? Ah, I know! I know we're both riders, but rather than talk about that... why don't we use this chance to get to know each other better?
 * Sophie: Like... small talk and things?
 * Caeldori: Exactly. For instance, appearance and grooming. I always pay careful attention to how I look, so I'm curious if you do the same.
 * Sophie: Grooming, huh...? Well, I might be a warrior, but I still like to look my best when I can.
 * Caeldori: You too, huh! I feel like looking beautiful actually gives me and edge in combat. When I put a lot of care into how I look, it makes me stronger, even in training. I just feel better about myself when I put the effort in. So I pay very close attention to my clothes and hair care, compared to some.
 * Sophie: I did notice how nice your hair was! I'm pretty particular about that, too. It's important to style it before a fight. If I don't, Avel mistakes it for oats and tries to eat it...
 * Caeldori: Haha, really? Why don't we share hair-care techniques next time? I have lots of great styling tools I can show you, if you want to borrow them.
 * Sophie: Really? That would be fantastic!
 * Caeldori: I'll make sure to bring them with me next time, then. I'll see you soon!
 * Sophie: OK! I can't wait!

 * Caeldori: Sophie!
 * Sophie: Caeldori!
 * Caeldori: Remember our chat about hair care the other day? I brought those styling tools I mentioned so you could see.
 * Sophie: Whoooooa! ALL of these are for styling your hair?
 * Caeldori: That's right. This is my favorite comb. Its teeth are coated in camellia oil. So every time you comb your hair, it adds glossiness and sheen.
 * Sophie: Nice!
 * Caeldori: And here are some products you can apply. This one you wash out, and this one you have to leave in. I always use both.
 * Sophie: So much stuff...
 * Caeldori: This bottle here is styling oil tailored perfectly to my hair. I mix it myself.
 * Sophie: Whaaaat?! That's incredible... You really ARE a genius.
 * Caeldori: Oh, not at all! Anyone could do this if they put their mind to it. Your turn, Sophie! Tell me how you get your hair looking that way.
 * Sophie: Well, I haven't done anything as fancy as mix my own hair goop, but... I like to wash my hair with this soap that has a nice herbal scent.
 * Caeldori: I've never heard of such a soap! But now that you mention it, I do smell a faintly pleasant fragrance in your hair.
 * Sophie: Yeah! i whave this farmer friend who hooks me up with her soap. It's a funny story—I met her when Avel trampled some of her fields... *sigh*
 * Caeldori: Hey, Sophie... can I ask a favor?
 * Sophie: You want some of that soap, huh?
 * Caeldori: Yes, please...!
 * Sophie: OK! I'll ask for a little extra next time. And in exchange... do you think I could have a little bit of whatever you're putting in your hair?
 * Caeldori: Oh, of course.
 * Sophie: Yippee! That might be just what I need to turn my tangled hair into smooth locks like yours.
 * Caeldori: For myself, I'm hoping that your soap will make my hair smell as nice as your does. This is so exciting! Thanks, Sophie. Don't forget the soap so we can trade!
 * Sophie: Sure thing!

 * Caeldori: Sophie, thank you very much for that soap. It makes my hair smell so lovely!
 * Sophie: I'm glad it's working out for you. That product you gave me has smoothed out my hair a lot, too! And look! It's so shiny that even Avel doesn't think it's food anymore!
 * Caeldori: I was going to say, it's a big improvement! Trying something new paid off, hmm?
 * Sophie: I'll say! Thanks a bunch, Caeldori!
 * Caeldori: No, thank YOU. We may be at war, but that won't stop us from looking good on the battefield, right? If I can get enough ingredients, I can make enough for everyone who's interested.
 * Sophie: Oh, good idea. Just think what a whole team of fabulous-looking warriors could do!
 * Caeldori: You know, Sophie... You originally came to me hoping that the two of us could be friends. But you might not know that I wanted to be friends with you too, even before that.
 * Sophie: Huh? Why bring that up now?
 * Caeldori: Err... I just think thought I should tell you. Since we're friends. I-is that strange?
 * Sophie: No, not strange. Just a little awkward.
 * Caeldori: Y-you're right. I'm sorry. This is the first chance I've had to make friends with any girls my age... I was just too happy to finally see an opportunity like this!
 * Sophie: Oh, totally! I feel the same way! Our little chats are so much fun!
 * Caeldori: Heehee, they really are. Maybe next time we can finally get back to the subject of horseback riding?
 * Sophie: T-too son, Caeldori... too soon... I'd much rather talk about grooming tips for horses, though.
 * Caeldori: Oh, yeah? I'm interested in that, too. I have very specific methods of takin care of my pegasus's coat...
 * Sophie: I know just what you mean! The brush I use on Avel is custom made for this thick hair.
 * Caeldori: Haha, we could talk about this for hours, I bet. It feels like we've been friends for a long time.
 * Sophie: And I hope we stay that way for a long time to come!

 * Asugi: Something wrong? You know if you keep making faces, it'll freeze like that.
 * Caeldori: Y-you ne'er-do-well! I'm only making tis face because of you! Those... rags... do not come anywhere near meeting the army dress code.
 * Asugi: Huh? Something wrong with my clothes? Hm... you know, I never noticed, but you're right. They could stand some patching.
 * Caeldori: And they're filthy! How do you even manage to attract that much grime?
 * Asugi: Oh, you know. Baking is dirty work.
 * Caeldori: I am highly skeptical that is a necessary part of the process.
 * Asugi: What does it matter if my clothes get a little dirty? I spend most of my recon missions in the mud and the leaves anyways. No point in fancying myself up all the time. I'm not some dandy parade soldier.
 * Caeldori: This ir an army. Accordingly, we have regulations. Regulations that must be met. Now, off with these clothes. They need to be mended and washed immediately.
 * Asugi: Can't it wait?
 * Caeldori: Do you want me to write you up for insubordination?
 * Asugi: Yeah, yeah. Criminy, lady, you'd think I was thieving, not wearing some dirty clothes.
 * Caeldori: That's "Yes, ma'am" to you, grunt.

 * Caeldori: What have you done to the kitchen?! Did you open a portal to the Landfillrealm?
 * Asugi: Oh, heya, Caeldori. I was just making something sweet. Want some?
 * Caeldori: You made... a cake? Just one cake? How could you have possibly made a mess this big making ONE cake?
 * Asugi: Don't get yourself all worked up. I'll clean it up in a few.
 * Caeldori: Oh, really?
 * Asugi: Hey! What's with the stink eye? I told you I was gonna clean it up.
 * Caeldori: And how am I supposed to trust you this time? Last time you baked, we had to have a crew of eight clean up after you. Nobody in the army could eat until it was done. Two hours later.
 * Asugi: C'mon, can't you just let this slide? There's a marshmallow treat in it for ya.
 * Caeldori: You're not talking your way out of this. March, soldier.
 * Asugi: C'mon. I think you're just grumpy 'cause you've got low blood sugar. Here, just have a bite.
 * Caeldori: No.
 * Asugi: Hey, I'm walking with you, see? Taking a little nibble isn't going to slow us down.
 * Caeldori: ...Very well. If it will get you to shut that sticky little trap of yours. *chomp* Wh-what is this?! What have you put in this? Its... it's... It's delicious! I've never head anything like it!
 * Asugi: It's a special recipe I've been developing. And there's more where that came from. All you gotta do is turn a blind eye. Just this once. Please?
 * Caeldori: I... I... Fine. But only this once. Got it?
 * Asugi: Yes, ma'am. Thank you, ma'am.
 * Caeldori: This is so incredible. I can't believe it. I've never tasted something so good... Hey, Asugi! Wait! Where are you going?! You still have to clean this up later! You got that?!

 * Caeldori: Asugi!
 * Asugi: Oh no.
 * Caeldori: I haven't even said anything yet!
 * Asugi: Er, sorry. What can I do for you?
 * Caeldori: I came to tell you that I was thinking of banning you from the kitchen before. But after i tried that cake of yours... I knew I could not bear to do such a thing. Your treats are unparalleled. The gods themselves do not eat so well.
 * Asugi: I'm flattered. So! This mean I have free rein?
 * Caeldori: No. We can't afford to pull so many people off their work just to clean up after you. But... I've decided I can help you while you do your baking.
 * Asugi: Help me? How? Do you know how to cook?
 * Caeldori: I will clean up beside you while you make your confections. It's much less of a hassle than cleaning up after everything's dried and congealed.
 * Asugi: Hm. I suppose that makes sense. Are you sure?
 * Caeldori: Yes. Next time you wish to bake anything, report to me, and I'll help if I can, OK?
 * Asugi: You don't have to—
 * Caeldori: I'll take that as a tes. Now you can make all the sweets you want! Perhaps you would be willing to sell some to me once they have been made? But for now, I must attend to some other business.


 * Asugi: Wait.
 * Caeldori: Yes?
 * Asugi: Thank you.
 * Caeldori: You're very welcome. Is that all?
 * Asugi: No. I'm very grateful, but I can't let you do all that for me. I'll turn over a new leaf. I prome. I'll do my own cleaning from here on out.
 * Caeldori: Oh? Really? Very well, then. I'll leave it to you. Thank you, Asugi.
 * Asugi: Yep. No problem. It's only right. But, uh, maybe you could still give me a hand every now and then? I'd appreciate the company.
 * Caeldori: Yes, of course. You may call on me anytime.
 * Asugi: Thanks. But I don't expect you to do this pro bono. I can pay you.
 * Caeldori: I don't require payment, Asugi. In fact, I'd be insulted if you—
 * Asugi: No, I don't mean money. I mean sweets. I'll make you as many as you'd like. Deal?
 * Asugi: Yes, of course! C-could we start right now?!
 * Asugi: Haha! Sure, I don't see why not. If you could just grab me that bowl...

 * Asugi: Hey, Caeldori. Got a minute?
 * Caeldori: Ooh! Are we going to bake some more? Let me just get my apron—
 * Asugi: No, no, not this time.
 * Caeldori: Hm? Why not? Have I been forcing you to make too many treats for me? Was it the cake order?! I knew it! I'm so sorry! I knew 20 was pushing it...
 * Asugi: No, that's not it. Just, please, listen.
 * Caeldori: Huh? Then what is it?
 * Asugi: I... ah... I was wondering if you'd want to do more things together.
 * Caeldori: Like... making other foods? I know a few breakfast recipes, I guess...
 * Asugi: No, that's not it. What I means to say is—I mean, it's just... it's just...
 * Caeldori: Asugi! Are you OK? Have you been poisoned?
 * Asugi: Agh, this is going nowhere! I don't know how to say this. Just... here! Take this!
 * Caeldori: A heart-shaped candy? "Be mine"? *chomp* *munch munch* Hm It was sort of cute, but not very tasty... I'm surprised at you, Asugi!
 * Asugi: N-no... you weren't supposed to... It was... Gah! OK! OK! I'll just say it. *inhale* I want to be with you, Caeldori!
 * Caeldori: That isn't funny, Asugi.
 * Asugi: I mean it! I swear!
 * Caeldori: You? Want to be with me? Not buying it. What's your angle? Are you trying to get out of latrine duty? I told you, Asugi, everybody has to pull—
 * Asugi: No! I don't have an angle! Can't a guy just be fond of you?!
 * Caeldori: You really are serious, aren't you?
 * Asugi: Criminy, but you are a slow one. Yes! I'm serious! I fancy you.
 * Caeldori: I see... Teehee. You know, you're pretty cute when you're flustered. I like you too, silly. Why do you think I've been trying to get yuo to bake so much? Your sweets are good, but they're not THAT good.
 * Asugi: Hahaha, is that right? You're craftier than I thought.
 * Caeldori: Thank you. Now, on to business. If we're to be together, you're to look presentable. That means no more wearing clothes that look like a bunch of used wolfskin toys. You'll also need to stop keeping unwrapped food in your pockets. It's unsanitary. And what is that cat thing in your belt? Is that a sucker? A toy? A charm? Hm... now, what to do about your hair...
 * Asugi: Ugh... The things I'll do for love...

 * Caeldori: This is a disaster!
 * Hisame: I don't think anyone has cleaned this shed since it was built.
 * Caeldori: When they gave us this assignment, I didn't expect it to be THIS bad.
 * Hisame: I guess that's why they chose us for the job. Maybe we should be flattered.
 * Caeldori: Because we're the only two competent people they could find?
 * Hisame: Hahaha... Looks like it. Guess we better get to work.
 * Hisame: I have five extra jars of pickles here.
 * Caeldori: There's more rice too. The accounting book is a mess. Still, it could be worse... At least, we have more food than what's on the books and not the other way around...
 * Hisame: Yeah. It's nice to be pleasantly surprised for once.
 * Caeldori: Heehee... I know what you mean. This hasn't been the only surprise I've had today. I have tou admit, my first impression of you was all wrong.
 * Hisame: Most people think I'm pretty uptight, but I'm just lousy around girls. It's easier when we're talking about pickles and rice.
 * Caeldori: Well, we have a lot in common... We're both pretty mature for our age. I guess we get that from our upbringing.
 * Hisame: Uh... You have a lot of respect for your father, Subaki, don't you?
 * Caeldori: Yes, of course! I can't imagine a more perfect father. Don't you feel that way about yours?

 * Hisame: Ah, finally—this shed looks like a place you might actually want to store food. Before, it was a giant trash heap. It took forever though!
 * Caeldori: Hey, Hisame. I've been thinking about our conversation...
 * Hisame: Oh, Caeldori. *sigh* You're going to go there, aren't you?
 * Caeldori: It's still bothering me. You don't respect your father... not even a little bit?
 * Hisame: Well, I guess I do see him as a role model of sorts. He's a wonderful example of what NOT to do.
 * Caeldori: Whaaaat?! Th-that's so disrespectful!
 * Hisame: It's smart too. My father has never had a single intelligent thought in his head! I don't want to turn into a reckless troublemaker like him.
 * Caeldori: But he's your own flesh and blood! All sons should respect their fathers.
 * Hisame: Respect and admiration are not the same thing. I'll choose my own role models.
 * Caeldori: That is SO rude! I would rather die than betray my father by speaking like that!
 * Hisame: Are you saying that I don't deserve to be his son?
 * Caeldori: W-well...
 * Hisame: It's wonderful that your father is so perfect, but not everyone's father is! I didn't think you were that shallow—forcing your beliefs on everyone else!

 * Caeldori: I don't understand. You didn't do anything wrong.
 * Hisame: I'm apologizing because I wasn't completely honest with you. The truth is... all that anger I have with my father only stems from jealousy.
 * Caeldori: Jealousy? Wha?!


 * Hisame: My father doesn't have a care in the world. He never worries about... anything... And people love him for it! The truth is I wish I could be more like that sometimes. Instead, I'm so uptight, I keep everything bottled up inside.
 * Caeldori: That sounds exhausting... I'm sorry, i didn't mean to pick at an old wound.
