 * Avatar: Rinkah? Over here.
 * Rinkah: Did you need something done?
 * Avatar: Sort of. I'd like to ask your opinion on something. Take a look at this map. If we are positioned here, and the enemy attacks from here...what should we do?
 * Rinkah: ...
 * Avatar: If a unit detached and came at them from the river...do you think they'd cluster? If so, we could hit them with a volley...but if we fail, the attacking force might rout.
 * Rinkah: ...
 * Avatar: Rinkah? Are you listening to me?
 * Rinkah: You know as well as I that I am not a tactician. Why are you here? Hoping to make friends? I'm sorry to disappoint you. I'm just here to carry out orders. Nothing more. Farewell.
 * Avatar: Hey! Hey, wait! I'm not done talking yet!
 * Rinkah: I have nothing to discuss with you. Leave me alone.
 * Avatar: You know I can't do that. We're allies! I have to able to communicate with you.
 * Rinkah: That's not what I meant. I will still listen and follow any orders you want to give. But otherwise, do not speak to me!
 * Avatar: What is wrong with you?
 * Rinkah: *sigh* My apologies. Perhaps I went too far. That is no way to talk to one's superior. I am grateful you spared my life when I was your prisoner. And I will follow wherever you decide to lead us. However I neither need nor desire your attention. Please leave me alone.

 * Avatar: Hey! Rinkah!
 * Rinkah: ...
 * Avatar: Rinkah! Did you hear me?
 * Rinkah: What is it this time? I told you to leave me alone.
 * Avatar: I wanted to ask you why you insist so much on remaining aloof.
 * Rinkah: If I do, will you leave me be?
 * Avatar: I... I guess I can do that.
 * Rinkah: *sigh* Very well. I keep my distance because it is the law of the Flame Tribe. As you know, we worship the God of the Flame. To honor our God, we keep a fire in the village burning at all times. This is a challenge, and so in order to keep in burning we have effected many laws. One such law directs us to avoid contact with outsiders as much as possible. This is why we live in isolation -- and why I would prefer you quit prying.
 * Avatar: How does living in isolation keep the flame burning?
 * Rinkah: It's always an outsider that extinguishes the flame of life. They don't respect it, and so foolishly they run headlong into taboo acts.
 * Avatar: Like putting out the flame?
 * Rinkah: That is one of them, yes. And it has terrible consequences for the transgressor. Once, a long time ago, the sacred flame was extinguished by an enemy tribe. They only wished to cause us harm, but they angered the God of the Flame. The holy mountain then erupted, and fire fell from the sky. Lava decimated the enemy tribe, and by the end of it, there was no trace of them left. The stories say our own tribe suffered greatly as well, however.
 * Avatar: I see. But then why were you siding with Hoshido against Nohr?
 * Rinkah: Because our chief -- my father -- decided we should cooperate with Hoshido. A fighter should fully commit themselves to every battle, it's true. But to be honest, I had grave misgivings about the whole venture. Bad omens. And those feeling turned out to be well-founded. As you know, I was taken captive.
 * Avatar: I see. You must feel very vindicated.
 * Rinkah: I feel the same as I did before. So. Now you understand. I expect you will stick to your end of the bargain. Farewell.
 * Avatar: Rinkah... There must be something I can do.

 * Avatar: Rinkah.
 * Rinkah: Heh, Lord Avatar. You really don't know how to take a hint, do you? I'm starting to lose count of all the times I told you to stay away.
 * Avatar: Er. Sorry.
 * Rinkah: Well? What is it this time?
 * Avatar: Is there no way I can convince you to be a little more friendly with the others?
 * Rinkah: Why?
 * Avatar: When we spoke of your capture at Nohr's hands...you seemed angry. Do you hate having been caught so much?
 * Rinkah: Of course I do. Being captured is far more shameful a fate than death to a warrior. I wish I had perished that day. I would have retained my dignity, at least.
 * Avatar: But if you died, we'd never have met and worked together.
 * Rinkah: What?
 * Avatar: We're at war. Nothing is certain. One day we celebrate, the next day we may be mourning. But I have to believe there's some kind of order to things. And so I think we were fated to meet as we did, and that we should be grateful for it.
 * Rinkah: I see. I AM grateful we met. But I still feel regret and anger at my capture. It is difficult to be grateful for a misfortune, is it not?
 * Avatar: But in the end it wasn't a misfortune, right? It all worked out. We should thank fate for that—for all the ways it sees fit to connect us. All of us. And I think fate has given you a unique and incredible opportunity.
 * Rinkah: How so?
 * Avatar: It's rare the Flame Tribe interacts with outsiders, right? Then perhaps you should take advantage of this chance to learn about the world. About other people, other cultures, lands, arts, history, technologies... Your people may not have an opportunity like this again for a long, long time. And I think it would be a terrible shame were you to let it slip past you. But... I admit I may feel this way because I spent my entire life trapped in isolation. So the choice is yours. I won't press you further.
 * Rinkah: I see. Very well. I will have to think on it, but your argument has a certain weight. I'll...do my best to try to warm up to the others. All right?
 * Avatar: Thank you, Rinkah!
 * Rinkah: No. Thank you.

 * Rinkah: Avatar! I've been looking for you.
 * Avatar: Oh! I've been looking for you too! I hear you've been warming up to everyone. I know it couldn't have been easy for you. Thank you.
 * Rinkah: S-Sure. No problem.
 * Avatar: So, you had something you wanted to talk to me about?
 * Rinkah: No, never mind. It's not important.
 * Avatar: Are you sure?
 * Rinkah: Maybe we can talk some other time.
 * Avatar: W-Wait! Rinkah! What's wrong? You can tell me. You've finally started to open up. Don't close yourself off now! Please. Let's talk.
 * Rinkah: Hmph.
 * Avatar: Huh? Are you all right? Your face is burning up! Do you have a fever? Are you sick? Let me get you a healer!
 * Rinkah: N-No!
 * Avatar: Are you sure? You're sweating a lot too...
 * Rinkah: I wanted to tell you...
 * Avatar: Yes? Go on.
 * Rinkah: I'm sorry. My pride prevented me from telling you before. I swore I'd never do this. Every time I saw you, I felt ashamed. You were a reminder of my capture. A reminder of my weakness.
 * Avatar: I'm so sorry.
 * Rinkah: But over time, the shame over my capture has been weakenend, and been replaced. I began to wrestle not with my weakness, but with a new feeling.
 * Avatar: A new feeling?
 * Rinkah: Yes. Love.
 * Avatar: Love?!
 * Rinkah: I could not be accept that I had feelings for you. You are a foreigner, an outsider-- and a constant reminder of my capture.
 * Avatar: I see. Well, the truth is, I have had feelings for you too. Ever since the day I saw you.
 * Rinkah: Huh?!
 * Avatar: I made excuses for myself, saying I wanted you too make friends and learn. But the truth is, I only wanted to get closer to you, Rinkah.
 * Rinkah: Avatar...
 * Avatar: Hahaha. When you think about it, we really did meet in the worst possible way, didn't we?
 * Rinkah: Don't say that! From now on, I will remember it as one of the happiest days of my life. As you said, we should be grateful for everything fate did to connect us.
 * Avatar: Haha. Yes. Thank you, Rinkah.
 * Rinkah: There is no need to thank me. I should be the one thanking you-- for saving my life. And for igniting this fire in my heart. ... I love you. The flame in my heart will never die. Thanks to you... I now know what true love is.

 * Jakob: Ah! If it isn't the famous Rinkah, the Fire Tribe's frostiest daughter!
 * Rinkah: If you don't need anything, then go away.
 * Jakob: It's my business where I decide to spend my time. I don't recall anyone making you my superior officer.
 * Rinkah: Uh-huh. You talk awfully big for a lapdog.
 * Jakob: Did you just call me a lapdog?
 * Rinkah: So what if I did?
 * Jakob: No matter. I refuse to waste my energy trading childish insults with you.  Good day, Rinkah.

 * Jakob: Marvelous! Absolutely delectable!
 * Rinkah: ...
 * Jakob: Mmm! Oh, yes! Quite so! I must say, I've truly outdone myself this time.
 * Rinkah: ...
 * Jakob: This might be the best tea this side of the continent!
 * Rinkah: You're annoying me.
 * Jakob: Pardon? Did you say something, my sweet?
 * Rinkah: I SAID that you're ANNOYING me! You've been banging on about that tea for an hour now! Hasn't it gotten cold?!
 * Jakob: Of course! And yet even still, it is abrosial! But when should I be quieter for you? It's not my problem you're annoyed. All you have to do is ignore me, after all.
 * Rinkah: If you want to talk to yourself so badly, go do it somewhere else!
 * Jakob: It's my business where I talk to myself. If you don't like it, perhaps you should go somewhere else.
 * Rinkah: I was here first!
 * Jakob: Hm. This is strange. I thought your clan encouraged aloofness and independence. So why are you talking to me so much? I must be more charming than I'd thought!
 * Rinkah: Are you making fun of me?
 * Jakob: I thought that much was obvious. Perhaps I should be less subtle in the future.
 * Rinkah: I won't stand for this! Insult me again, and I'll beat you to a bloody pulp! Do you hear me?
 * Jakob: Now, now. Calm down. Here, have some tea.
 * Rinkah: Grrrrrrrrrr.
 * Jakob: You should really learn to control that temper of yours. It will be difficult for you to remain aloof if you let little things like this bother you.
 * Rinkah: Sh-shut up! I don't want to hear about it! Least of all from you.
 * Jakob: Hold! Don't do anything rash, now. How would your tribe look if their princess began assaulting her comrades over trifles?
 * Rinkah: I...will...kill...
 * Jakob: Ah-ah-ah! None of that. Now sit and take this tea!
 * Rinkah: ... *gulp* Th-this is actually pretty good.

 * Silas: Rinkah? Why are you standing off to one side there? Come on, let's go join the others.
 * Rinkah: Nice try. I'm only here to fight. Apart from that, I'll have nothing to do with you. It's the law of my tribe.
 * Silas: Hmm... Then I challenge you to a fight.
 * Rinkah: Is this a joke?
 * Silas: It's a special kind of battle, called Predator. You'll love it, I promise.
 * Rinkah: Huh. Tell me more.
 * Silas: It's a traditional Nohrian war game.
 * Rinkah: Oh yeah? How does it work?
 * Silas: It's simple. One of us is the predator, or just "it," who chases the prey. If the one who's it manages to touch the prey, like this, then the prey loses.
 * Rinkah: H-hey! Hands off!
 * Silas: So now that I touched you, you're "it," and it's your turn to chase me.
 * Rinkah: This is going to be over quick.
 * Silas: Is that so? Then catch me if you can!
 * Rinkah: HEY! YOU GET BACK HERE!

 * Rinkah: Hmph.
 * Silas: Are you still upset you couldn't catch me the other day?
 * Rinkah: You ran away too fast... I wasn't ready.
 * Silas: Haha...you wouldn't have had to chase me very far, you know.
 * Rinkah: Huh?
 * Silas: I just ran straight to a nearby troop unit and disguised myself among them.
 * Rinkah: Y-you were hiding the whole time?! You rotten coward!
 * Silas: Oof, that's harsh. What rule is there that says I can't hide?
 * Rinkah: That's your excuse? Tch. Fine. We'll go another round.
 * Silas: Er...
 * Rinkah: Another. Round.
 * Silas: Are you serious?
 * Rinkah: I hate losing. So we're gonna go until I win.
 * Silas: ...have it your way. Which one of us will be "it"?
 * Rinkah: Me, of course. I'm gonna catch you if it's the last thing I do.
 * Silas: I feel like this stopped being a game at some point... Alright then, start counting. The chase will begin once you reach 20.
 * Rinkah: Got it. I'll count. One... Two...
 * Silas: I'm thinking I'd better stay well hidden among the troops this time.

 * Kaze: Rinkah, do you have a moment?
 * Rinkah: Sure. What do you need?
 * Kaze: Well, you see, earlier today I helped a nice young woman carry her things home. In return, she gave me this sack of sweets.
 * Rinkah: That entire bag is filled with just sweets?! It must weigh 50 pounds!
 * Kaze: Yes...which is why I was hoping you could help. I can't eat all these by myself.
 * Rinkah: Oh, I see. I'll pass.
 * Kaze: Really? But I thought you'd appreciate it the most.
 * Rinkah: What do you mean by that?
 * Kaze: Your stomach's been growling all day. Did you think I hadn't noticed?
 * Rinkah: So what? That doesn't mean I'm hungry! *rumble*
 * Kaze: ...
 * Rinkah: Th-that wasn't what you think! It must have been...a mouse. That ran by.
 * Kaze: Hm... Perhaps I will just leave some of these sweets here for that poor little mouse.
 * Rinkah: Fine. Do what you want.
 * Kaze: I will. I hope the mouse enjoys its treat very much. I hear it has quite the sweet tooth.
 * Rinkah: The mouse would have you know it doesn't have any stinking sweet teeth. And the mouse wants to make it clear that this is a onetime occurrence. Does the ninja understand?
 * Kaze: Of course. Well, I should be off now. I'll talk to you later, Rinkah.
 * Rinkah: ... *munch* *munch*

 * Kaze: Rinkah, I have some more sweets today. Would you like some?
 * Rinkah: Kaze... I thought I made it clear last time that I didn't want any more sweets.
 * Kaze: Ah. I believe you are confused.  It was the mouse with the grumbly stomach that didn't want any more sweets.
 * Rinkah: You little-
 * Kaze: Rinkah, I know you love sweets. And I imagine you avoid them because you think it will make you look soft.  But, trust me, no one will think less of you if you indulge yourself now and then.
 * Rinkah: Will you be quiet? My diet is none of your business!
 * Kaze: You are absolutely correct. However, I would be a bad friend indeed were I not concerned with your happiness.  I don't think it's good to deprive yourself like this just to hide your sweet tooth.
 * Rinkah:  I'm not hiding it.  It's just not something everyone needs to know about.
 * Kaze: So then you won't mind if I share it with the others?
 * Rinkah:  Don't you dare! Why do you even care so much about what I eat, anyway?
 * Kaze: I don't I care that you seem so concerned with keeping up false appearances. Now, will you please accept this candy?  It's your favorite...
 * Rinkah: Haven't I made myself clear? I don't want any more sweets!
 * Kaze: Well, yes, but I already know about your sugary little secret, right? So it's OK.  You can eat these without worrying about it.
 * Rinkah: I'm not a damn child! You don't have to feed me.  If I want sweets, I'll get some myself.
 * Kaze: You misunderstand. There are too many for me to eat.  I'm asking you for help.
 * Rinkah: Hmph... Fine. And, I guess... Well, thanks for your concern.
 * Kaze: Think nothing of it.

 * Kaze: Rinkah, thanks again for helping me finish off those sweets the other day. I didn't know you could fit that much taffy in one stomach.
 * Rinkah: Ugh... I can't believe I accepted food from you again...
 * Kaze: Speaking of which, I was just given another bag today. Care for another round?
 * Rinkah: Again? You've got to be kidding me!
 * Kaze: I know, I know. I tried to refuse again and again, but she wouldn't have it.
 * Rinkah: How do you get all these people to give you gifts all the time? I'm jeal— Um. Gelatin. I'm gelatin.
 * Kaze: What?
 * Rinkah: Nothing. I'm not jealous. Shut up.
 * Kaze: You know, there's an easy way to solve that gelatin problem. If you just told people you like candy, I'm sure they'd be happy to share with you.
 * Rinkah: Thanks, but no thanks. I'm fine.
 * Kaze: Then I will have to engineer a way to get you candy secretly. Perhaps by eating more, you will come out of your shell...
 * Rinkah: I'm not in a shell, and I don't need your help coming out of it! But...if you WERE to find a way to get me more sweets...I might not object.
 * Kaze: Very well. Consider it done.

 * Rinkah: Ugh...
 * Kaze: I suspected as much. Well then, our discussion can wait. For we must find you some treats.
 * Rinkah: No, that's OK. You're not responsible for my stomach, you know.
 * Kaze: Yes, but I like making sure you are content. If I could have it my way, you'd never suffer from anything ever again.
 * Rinkah: That's a little...weird. I can take care of myself, Kaze.
 * Kaze: I know, but I'm afraid I can't help it... I'm in love with you.
 * Rinkah: ... ... What?
 * Kaze: I love you Rinkah. I wish to be your partner in all things.
 * Rinkah: So that's why you've been bringing me all this candy?
 * Kaze: Yes and no. I'd like to think I'd have acted the same way even if I didn't love you. But I can't deny that I took particular pleasure in helping you as a result. And I know a part of me was happy that you kept your sweet tooth a secret. Because...it meant I could do something special for you.
 * Rinkah: Kaze...
 * Kaze: I'm sorry. I've acted...dishonorably.
 * Rinkah: Aw, cut the dutiful-ninja crap, Kaze. You've done no such thing. And...I guess it wouldn't be the worst thing, being with you. Sure, yeah. Why not?
 * Kaze: I...see. So, then...you have no strong feelings for me? Perhaps you should forget I said anything. I do not wish to pressure you into something you are indifferent to.
 * Rinkah: No! You big, dumb oaf. Are you really gonna make me spell it out for you?! Fine! I love you too, and I want to be with you, you gorgeous dastard! Now, can we please move on?
 * Kaze: Well. OK then. So...what do we do now?
 * Rinkah: Heh. You could start by rounding me up another sack of sweets.
 * Kaze: As you wish, my love.

 * Ryoma: Rinkah, do you have a minute? I'd like to talk.
 * Rinkah: What's with you guys?! Hoshidans talk SO much! Can't I get some peace and quiet?
 * Ryoma: I'm sorry if I disturbed you. I wanted to learn more about the Flame Tribe.
 * Rinkah: Forget it! I'm not sharing any of my trieb's secret with you!
 * Ryoma: Come on, RInkah. You know that's not what I mean! We're lucky to hace the Flame Trime as an ally. I'd like to thank your people. When the war is over, I plan to make and official trip. I could use your help preparing.
 * Rinkah: Oh, I see. You think we'll be impressed by some prince showing up?
 * Ryoma: of course not. This isn't a formality. I want our people to understand each other. For example, your tribe has a unique style of fighting. We could learn from you!
 * Rinkah: What do you mean by style?
 * Ryoma: Rinkah, on the battlefield, you fight like a raging inferno! Does everyone in the Flame Tribe bring such heat to battle?
 * Rinkah: Every single time! We always say, "Offense is the best defense!"
 * Ryoma: I can see that. You erupt into battle with such violence! The enemy loses heart! ... But forgive me for saying this. Sometimes you seem a bit reckless!
 * Rinkah: Reckless?!
 * Ryoma: It seems once that spark is lit, you can't stop until the fire has burned itself out.
 * Rinkah: That's how an inferno works! I won't stop until every last enemy is finished!
 * Ryoma: Isn't that dangerous?
 * Rinkah: I guess so... One time, I flew into such a rage that I ended up getting captured.

 * Rinkah: Hey, Ryoma. The other day you said I needed to stay calm during battle.
 * Ryoma: I thought you didn't want my opinion.
 * Rinkah: I'm not asking for your opinion. I'm asking you for strategies! I can tell you are a passionate fighter as well, and yet you keep a level head.
 * Ryoma: That's because I have a secret.
 * Rinkah: Oh?
 * Ryoma: Yes. I've got one word for you: meditation.
 * Rinkah: Meditation?! Are you kidding me?!
 * Ryoma: Meditation calms your spirit and heightens your focus. I meditate every morning. The effects last all day... even in the midst of battle. You should give it a try.
 * Rinkah: Hmm... OK. So what do you do? Cross your legs and hum?
 * Ryoma: Just sit however is most comfortable for you.
 * Rinkah: Uh... OK. Like this?
 * Ryoma: Sure. Now empty your mind. Focus on your breathing. In! Out! In! Out! Ahhh!
 * Rinkah: This sounds boring.
 * Ryoma: Empty your mind! You must learn to silence those thoughts. Simply observe.
 * Rinkah: ...OK. ...In. ...Out. ...In. ...Out. ARE WE DONE YET?!
 * Ryoma: What's wrong?! Why are you shouting?
 * Rinkah: This is hard!
 * Ryoma: It takes time to master the art of meditation. You must start slowly. Over time, you can work up to longer sessions. I meditate for two hours a day!
 * Rinkah: What are you? Some kind of hermit?!
 * Ryoma: Hardly! I'm sure you'll do just as well once you get the hang of it.
 * Rinkah: I'll take your word fo rit.
 * Ryoma: Let's stop for today. How about we try again later?
 * Rinkah: That sounds good. I'll need all the help I can get!

 * Ryoma: Good.
 * Rinkah: Well, it's thank to you, Ryoma. I nver thought I'd be getting help from a prince! And I never thought I'd take meditation lessons from a hermit either!
 * Ryoma: It was my pleasure. It's good for hermits to spend time together.
 * Rinkah: What?! Who are you calling a hermit?
 * Ryoma: Well, you're the one who wanted to keep her tribe isolated from everyone. If that's not hermit-like. I don't know what is!
 * Rinkah: Haha! I guess you have a point.
 * Ryoma: The important thing is, we were able to break down some of the walls between us.
 * Rinkah: I can't belive I'm saying this, but I'm glad.
 * Ryoma: Me too. I know you're a very dignified, independent person. I respect that.
 * Rinkah: Thank you.
 * Ryoma: I hope we can strengthen the bonds between Hoshido and the Flame Tribe.
 * Rinkah: Absolutely! You've shown me how to pursue peace not just on the battlefield but within. You have my loyalty. My strength is yours!
 * Ryoma: Good. Let us continue fighting side by side.

 * Ryoma: Rinkah, did I catch you meditating again?
 * Rinkah: I was just finishing up. I think I'm an addict now. I can't stop!
 * Ryoma: Haha! Sorry about that. I should have warned you.
 * Rinkah: You apologize far too much! Do you know that?
 * Ryoma: Well, I should be saying, "Thank you."
 * Rinkah: What for?
 * Ryoma: Now that you've started meditating, you seem more at ease.
 * Ryoma: I've even caught you smiling a few times.
 * Rinkah: Never!
 * Ryoma: Haha! Relax. I'm sure I'm the only person who saw it.
 * Ryoma: You're much easier to approach now, and I'm grateful.
 * Rinkah: Grateful?!
 * Ryoma: I wanted to get close to you, but I was afraid. Imagine that! Prince Ryoma afraid!
 * Ryoma: Now that you're so much calmer, I feel I can finally ask you-
 * Rinkah: Whoa! Stop right there!
 * Ryoma: I'm sure you would prefer a man from the Flame Tribe as your partner...
 * Ryoma: ...But I can't lie to someone I am fighting next to in battle. Rinkah, I love you.
 * Rinkah: You too?
 * Ryoma: What do you mean?! You too?
 * Rinkah: How dare you profess your feelings like that! Hmph!
 * Rymoa: Now stay calm, Rinkah. Remember what we practiced. In! Out! In! Out!
 * Ryoma: I didn't mean to offend you!

 * Ryoma: Really?! But this is amazing! We both feel the same way!
 * Rinkah: Yes, we do!
 * Ryoma: Oh, Rinkah. I promise to stay by your side forever!

 * Takumi: Did I catch you at a bad time?
 * Rinkah: Oh! So now you're trying to start a fight?
 * Takumi: I think you have this backward. You're the one picking a fight with me! I was hoping we could speak as allies, but with an attitude like that, I've gotta ask... Does the Flame Tribe take this alliance seriously?
 * Rinkah: You'd have to ask my father about that. I do whatever the chief commands. It's not like I get to decide our policies!
 * Takumi: So you're saying if it was up to you, the alliance would be off?
 * Rinkah: Well, not exactly...
 * Takumi: Now you're dodging the question!
 * Rinkah: My father has decided to cooperate with Hoshido. I am sworn to obey him. In the old days, the Flame Tribe was always independent. We didn't make compromises!
 * Takumi: That can't have been too long ago if you still remember.
 * Rinkah: I'll never forget the history of my tribe! We have always decided our own fate!

 * Rinkah: What?! Why would I do that?
 * Takumi: Wait a minute. Something smells amazing! Is that grilled fish you're cooking? Are you planning a banquet? You've got wild vegetables and mushrooms and—
 * Rinkah: No! This is my dinner! I had a long day, and I need some sustenance.
 * Takumi: I bet it took you hours to prep all this food! Why didn't you go to the mess hall?

 * Rinkah: Yeah, but why are you helping me?
 * Takumi: Consider it a thank-you present.
 * Rinkah: Huh?
 * Takumi: For sticking to our alliance. We need you and the rest of the Flame Tribe here. I respect that you don't want any help, so consider it repayment.
 * Rinkah: ...Well, all right. I guess.
 * Takumi: Relax! I promise I won't tell anyone. I know you like to be independent. ...There's just one other thing.
 * Rinkah: I knew there was a catch!
 * Takumi: Can I have a little bite this time? Please?
 * Rinkah: OK. Just this once.

 * Takumi: It's no big deal... Besides, I wouldn't give up these hunting sessions for anything.
 * Rinkah: Huh? What was that last part? You were mumbling.
 * Takumi: It was nothing. *ahem* Rinkah, I wanted to show you something.
 * Rinkah: Is that a red jewel?! Those belong to the Flame Tribe! How did you get one?
 * Takumi: This was given to the Hoshidan king by your tribe as a sign of friendship. It was passed down to me by my mother. I'd like for you to have it.
 * Rinkah: I've never heard of these jewels leaving the tribe before!
 * Takumi: My mother told me to hand this over to the woman I fell in love with.
 * Rinkah: No! She didn't!
 * Takumi: Why do you look so angry? I thought you'd be pleased! This jewel is precious to you. What better way to ask for your hand in marriage?
 * Rinkah: WHAT?! You can't be serious!
 * Takumi: But I am! You are fierce and beautiful. I'm in love with you.
 * Rinkah: I'm sorry. I think I'm in shock. I never thought an outsider could understand me the way you do. I accept this jewel as a token of friendship between Hoshido and the Flame Tribe.
 * Takumi: Is that all?
 * Rinkah: I wasn't finished! I will also accept it as proof of our love for each other. I swear on this jewel that I will never leave your side.

 * Saizo: Have you forgotten already about that last encounter? Why did you give the sign to retreat?
 * Rinkah: We'd just beaten off two waves. The whole company was worn out. It just made sense to get out while the getting was good.
 * Saizo: We could have fought longer. If we'd kept at it, our foes might not have escaped.
 * Rinkah: You're letting your temper run you. Even if you're right, can you be sure we wouldn't have lost anyone?
 * Saizo: A few casualties would have been work the blow struck to the enemy. That encounter will have consequences for the rest of the war!
 * Rinkah: ... Hmph. In the Flame Tribe, our war parties were so small that losing anyone was unthinkable.
 * Saizo: And?
 * Rinkah: Our elders taught us the importance of reading the situation. There's virtue in retreat, if it means a single life can be saved.
 * Saizo: Ridiculous. Cowardice is no virtue. The Flame Tribe... It sounds to me like their embers have grown cold. I have no desire to stay and listen to your justifications.

 * Rinkah: Yeah?
 * Saizo: If Lord Ryoma had been there, I'm sure he would have done the same.
 * Rinkah: It's all right. I wasn't taking it personally. I'm a warrior, so I know how you felt. I get lost in the heat of battle sometimes too. Victory can be a real rush.
 * Saizo: Really? That's surprising.
 * Rinkah: Oh, yeah. I used to charge in alone like an idiot and take a beating for my trouble. I'd always get an earful from the chief over it...
 * Saizo: So you're saying I'm no better than you were back then.
 * Rinkah: That's not what I meant. It's just that you have to think about what your goals are. Maybe sometimes it's worth losing people. It really depends. That's what I meant by learning to read a situation.
 * Saizo: So that's the way of the Flame Tribe. Hm...it's a valuable lesson.

 * Rinkah: Saizo, do you have a minute to talk?
 * Saizo: What is it?
 * Rinkah: I was wondering...what was it that made you want to be a ninja?
 * Saizo: The main reason was to avenge my father. But apart from that...it was exhilarating to use those techniques to claim victory in battle. That may be why I came to enjoy fighting so much.
 * Rinkah: That all sounds pretty familiar. And I think it's important for a warrior. We can't forget that feeling.
 * Saizo: Yes. A sword that is not kept sharp cannot cut when it is needed.
 * Rinkah: Though if you put it to the grindstone too long, the blade will break.
 * Saizo: ...
 * Rinkah: But for now, anyway, I feel like my skills could use some sharpening. How about it, Saizo? Want a friendly match with me?
 * Saizo: ...I was just thinking of asking you the same thing.

 * Rinkah: It's our warrior blood. I bet under that mask, you were smiling during the fight. Heh, what do you think the softies on our team would think if they heard us?
 * Saizo: Haha...I shudder to think. But I must redevote myself to my training for Lord Ryoma's sake.
 * Rinkah: I ought to do the same, if the Flame Tribe's going to have any future. You know...we really have a lot in common, Saizo. You ever think about us? Together?
 * Saizo: Now that you mention it...
 * Rinkah: Haha. I should have guessed. But I'm glad I'm not the only one it occurred to.
 * Saizo: We both strive to improve ourselves in battle. I think we could achieve that faster as partners.

 * Kagero: Hello there, Rinkah. Have you heard the rumors about the latest camp interest?
 * Rinkah: What rumors, Kagero?
 * Kagero: Apparently, the entire camp is trying to determine who the strongest fighters are. There are no clear winners among the men, the women, or both combined.
 * Rinkah: Hmph. I don't distract myself with idle gossip.
 * Kagero: Oh? Even though word is you and I are top candidates?
 * Rinkah: We are? Very well. Tell me more.
 * Kagero: They say that you and I both possess incredible strength. That you are powerful while I am tactical. There is some intense disagreement as to which of us is the strongest fighter.
 * Rinkah: Hrm. Normally I dislike people talking about me behind my back, but... I must admit, it's nice to have my strength praised after working so hard in training.
 * Kagero: I feel the same way. I dislike gossip, but having my skills acknowledged is a pleasant feeling.
 * Rinkah: Hmmm. What do you think of going a few rounds, Kagero?
 * Kagero: You mean...to determine who the superior fighter actually is?
 * Rinkah: Exactly.
 * Kagero: I cannot say that I personally oppose the idea... However, I serve Lord Ryoma. I cannot risk getting seriously injured. To do so and be unable to serve would be a grievous betrayal.
 * Rinkah: Then...perhaps we could do so with a friendly sumo match instead?
 * Kagero: I've heard of it, but remind me how sumo works...
 * Rinkah: There is no armor and no weapons. It's a test of pure skill and strength. A fighter tried to push her opponent either out of a ring or to the ground.

 * Rinkah: Hey, heretic! Wait up!
 * Azama: Rinkah, that's not a great way to try and start a conversation.
 * Rinkah: Why? Isn't that what you are?
 * Azama: Choose your words carefully. A heretic is someone at odds with their faith. Like a monk who lives a relaxed and slothful life, more concerned with desire over duty.
 * Rinkah: Wait a second. That sounds like you're just describing yourself.
 * Azama: Which aspect of my character are you referring to exactly?
 * Rinkah: Umm, all of it? Like I said, you're just talking about yourself!
 * Azama: Hmm, well I suppose we'll have to agree to disagree.
 * Rinkah: Ugh, whatever. Can you just tend to my cut, please? It really hurts.
 * Azama: After insulting and pestering me, why would I ever want to help you? You're going out of your way to say rude nonsense to me.
 * Rinkah: Because we're allies, obviously.
 * Azama: Haha, you have a funny way of showing it. Usually your allies don't call you names and make baseless accusations. You should at least be able to trade me something if you want my help
 * Rinkah: Yeah, I don't feel like doing that though. Just hurry up and help me already.
 * Azama: I don't think I could possibly have less motivation to do that. Honestly, even talking to you is making me wish I had a different vocation.

 * Rinkah: Hey! Heretic!

 * Rinkah: Oh please. I know a heretic when I see one. I've even got proof.
 * Azama: Huh? What are you talking about?
 * Rinkah: You're supposed to be a monk, right? But deep down, you don't believe in the gods. Someone told me that you once said, "all religion is nonsense." Is that true?
 * Azama: Hmm. I suppose I did say that. It was a long time ago.
 * Rinkah: Hold on a second. You're not even going to deny that you said it? How in the world does that not shatter your religious vows?
 * Azama: Faith is a very fluid thing. It can take on many different forms. I'm just the kind of person who points out whatever I find silly. It may be gods or kings. There's no real distinction for me.
 * Rinkah: Then why are you a monk? That makes no sense at all.
 * Azama: I fell into it naturally. My family ran a small shrine when I was growing up. The lifestly suits me well.
 * Rinkah: That's pathetic. Shouldn't you be driven toward a religious calling? I have to assume that youd on't believe in the God of the Flame. Our tribe worships him above every other deity.
 * Azama: God of the Flame? Oh, you're talkinga bout the ancient dragon that folks pray to. I have a passing knowledge of that god, but honestly it doesn't intrigue me much.
 * Rinkah: I'll make you intrigued, damn it! Sit down—I want to tell you all about how incredible our god is! We worship him for a reason, obviously.
 * Azama: I think I'll pass. You can talk all you want, but it will probably just put me to sleep.

 * Azama: Sure, form time to time.
 * Rinkah: You clearly don't believe in the gods, so why not explore other options?
 * Azama: I may not have as much faith as some, but I have a gift for helping people. i can make them feel enthralled and hopeful whenever I choose.
 * Rinkah: That's not a good reason to keep being a monk, Azama. How can you toy with people like that? You're a total fraud.
 * Azama: You don't understand what it takes to become a monk. I spent years enduring strenuous training in the mountains. After all of my experiences, good and bad, I can't help but have complicated feelings. It's almost like I have a bit of a chip on my shoulder for bearing so much hardship.
 * Rinkah: That's crazy. Your motives are all over the place, Azama.
 * Azama: I just want to enjoy living my life. That's all that matters to me.
 * Rinkah: *sigh* Well, in spite of your strange attitude, people seem to benefit from what you do. And you're clearly dedicated to the training required of your vocation. Maybe you're not such a bad guy after all.
 * Azama: What's that? Did you say something?
 * Rinkah: Never mind, it's nothing. Say, you mentioned your experience training in the mountains. Have you ever visited the sacred mountains that honor the God of the Flame?
 * Azama: Of course. I know them well.
 * Rinkah: You have to take me on a pilgrimage there! If you do, I promise I'll never call you a heretic ever again.
 * Azama: I don't know. That seems like toom uch of a bother to me.
 * Rinkah: Stop complaining! What if I give you a nice present? Will you take me then?
 * Azama: What is that supposed to mean? I'm not a child. You can't pay me off with a toy. But, OK, fine... If I head in that direction, maybe I'll take you.

 * Rinkah: Of course! That's so exciting. We should head out right away.
 * Azama: I'd like to be your guide, if that's OK.
 * Rinkah: That would be a huge help. But why has your attitude about helping me changed? You're being so cooperative. I can't help but feel suspicious.
 * Azama: That's a fair point. The truth is, I just love going on journeys to holy places. And maybe it would be fun to spend some time getting to know you better.
 * Rinkah: What do you mean by that?
 * Azama: I have to admit. I enjoyed fending off your verbal jabs. And it's a lot of fun irritating you. Ever since you suggested it, I realized that traveling with you sounded wonderful. Maybe you'll finally want to sing my praises once we get to the mountain.
 * Rinkah: You're a very confusing fellow, Azama.
 * Azama: Rinkah, I'm trying to say that I like you.
 * Rinkah: Wh-what?! Your logic is completely insane! How could you possibly think that? We've been fighting like cats and dogs!
 * Azama: Hahaha. Your face is all flushed, Rinkah.
 * Rinkah: Hey, shut up! Yours is too!
 * Azama: Maybe I shouldn't have expressed myself in such a complicated way. I was just feeling shy and nervous about putting my feelings out there, I guess.
 * Rinkah: No, I understand. Honestly, I'm pretty fond of you too. I think that's why I like to try and wind you up all the time. But if you wanna be with me, you'd better study up on the God of the Flame. That's an important part of bonding with someone from my tribe!

 * Hinata: Phew... You're pretty quick, Rinkah. Training with you is exhausting. I can tell you put some serious effort into your training.
 * Rinkah: I could feel the power behind your blows, as well. It was... unexpected. I'm certain your blows would have no trouble shattering the strongest armor.
 * Hinata: Is that why you were careful to parry them, rather than meet them head-on? Speaking of which, did you memorize my moves so you could counter them?
 * Rinkah: Don't say it like that. I was just intrigued by your style. If I picked up a few tricks... All I'll say is, your style is rare to me, so I studied you as you practiced.
 * Hinata: Rare? I don't think so, I know several fighters who fight the same way.
 * Rinkah: It may be common within Hoshido, but I've never seen it used in the Flame Tribe.
 * Hinata: Oh, I see what you mean.
 * Rinkah: I've witnessed a lot of different styles, but yours makes great use of follow-up moves. If I could meld it with my own, I could definitely become stronger...
 * Hinata: That... was a compliment, right?
 * Rinkah: Again, take it however you like.

 * Hinata: Damn it. You managed to parry or evade all of my attacks today.
 * Rinkah: Of course; it's only natural to get used to someone you are fighting time and again.
 * Hinata: True... Also, none of your counterattacks landed, so that means... We haven't determined the better fighter!
 * Rinkah: You're right. Clearly I still haven't learned all there is to learn from you. Only your strong defense can explain me not being able to hit you.
 * Hinata: I think that we've come as far as we can, sparring against one another with swords. Next time, let's spar with your best weapon, OK?
 * Rinkah: Are you serious?
 * Hinata: Of course! You're best with a club, right? Our next battle will be with clubs!
 * Rinkah: If you insist... But you aren't allowed to blame the weapon choice when you lose.
 * Hinata: Hah, I'd never!
 * Rinkah: And I won't be responsible if you get hurt.
 * Hinata: I'm not worried about that. Our sparring matches are actually a ton of fun!
 * Rinkah: What? You're having fun?
 * Hinata: Of course. There's a limit to how strong I can get just training alone. Practicing with you is great experience, so I'm really enjoying this chance to learn. I feel like I can get a whole lot stronger by doing this!

 * Rinkah: Hmph. Maybe that's not how YOU eat. But the Flame Tribe always digs into their meals with both hands! We wolf our food down like actual wolves! Someone told me once I should use utensils when eating with you people...but I assumed they were joking.
 * Oboro: Huh...so table manners are different where you come from? Well, be a messy eater if you want, but I'm the one who has to clean it up. So like it or not, I'm going to teach you the basics of eating with utensils.
 * Rinkah: What, you're serious? That's going too far...
 * Oboro: Then can you eat without making such an ungodly mess?
 * Rinkah: Impossible. It goes against everything I stand for.
 * Oboro: This isn't the Fire Tribe village, Rinkah! You're supposed to abide by the customs of your land, right? Don't worry - I'll teach you everything there is to know. You'll catch on quick.
 * Rinkah: Or you could just let me eat in peace...

 * Oboro: That’s it. Don’t hold it in your fist like it's a sword. You need to grip it between your fingers instead. That helps give you finer control.
 * Rinkah: Urg…
 * Oboro: don’t hold it so tight. Let it move in your hand along with your fingers.
 * Rinkah: I just…can't…get it…! Oops. It broke.
 * Oboro: again?! This is the fifth time…
 * Rinkah: I keep telling you, this is a waste of time!
 * Oboro: Not at all! There’s lots of reasons to stick with it. You can eat anything—even fish, I know you love fish—without leaving a mess!
 * Rinkah: Why would I not just bite into the fish? That way, I can spit out the bones later. Or heck, just eat them too!
 * Oboro: Yeah, see…that’s a good way to guarantee a mess. But if you ate it clean, you'd get ALL the meat on those bones.
 * Rinkah: Hmm?
 * Oboro: You’ve been leaving prime meat behind! Your horrible table manners mean you're not getting all the fish on your plate. Doesn’t it frustrate you to waste food?
 * Rinkah: I…I'm wasting food? Ugh, I guess you're right. I hate to admit it, but…
 * Oboro: There’s still a plate of cooked fish left from tonight’s dinner. Why don’t you watch me to see how you do it?
 * Rinkah: S-sure…
 * (scene transition)
 * Rinkah: Wow! How'd you do that?! There's nothing but bones and skin left! I've never seen anything so clean… It's like art, the way you eat!
 * Oboro: That’s the kind of thing you can do with utensils. You get all the meat, while leaving the plate and tablecloth clean of bones.
 * Rinkah: You're really starting to sell me on this. Show me again!
 * Oboro: I would love to.

 * Rinkah: Check it out, Oboro! Nothing but skin and bones left! And see how there’s not a single stain on the tablecloth?
 * Oboro: Way to go, Rinkah! I take it you’ve got the hang of utensils?
 * Rinkah: Yep. And I have you to thank.
 * Oboro: Hey, I shouldn’t take all the credit. You worked hard to learn.
 * Rinkah: You know, it's weird. Eating without wasting food is satisfying in a different way than stuffing yourself.
 * Oboro: *nod*Doing it that way shows your respect for the cook and the gifts of the land. That’s what I think, at least.
 * Rinkah: So that’s the Hoshidan philosophy, huh? Interesting. I’d like to understand your mind-set better and not be so closed off.
 * Oboro: That’s the spirit! The better we get to know each other, the less distance there’ll be between us.
 * Rinkah: Yeah. Hey, I should teach you how we eat in the Flame Tribe someday! Though it’ll be too messy here. Maybe we should take a hunting trip to the mountains.
 * Oboro: I bet that would be fun. Thanks!
 * Rinkah: Wait’ll you join in a traditional Flame Tribe feast! We sink our teeth into our kill and spray it's juices in appreciation for it's life.
 * Oboro: Hmm…I'll be sure to pack some old clothes for the occasion!
 * Rinkah: Smart thinking! You'll love it!

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

B Support

 * Subaki: There you are, Rinkah.
 * Rinkah: Oh,Subaki. What brings you here?
 * Subaki: Well, I was thinking about our conversation the other day. I owe you an apology. All you did was express for my well being. I'm sorry I brushed you off.
 * Rinkah: No, it's all right. I behaved foolishly. Who am I to question your tactics?
 * Subaki: What I meant to say was that my view from the sky gives me an advantage. It's harder to overlook important details on the battlefield.
 * Rinkah: You can survey from the ground too, if you pay keen attention.
 * Subaki: Th-that's true. Tell me, have I upset you once again?
 * Rinkah: No, I'm not angry.
 * Subaki: That's a relief to hear. Making sensible judgement is difficult when the right words escape you. I need to take greater caution when I'm conversing with you, Rinkah.
 * Rinkah: Oh, I see... You think I'm short tempered! What kind of pathetic excuse is that for an apology, Subaki?!
 * Subaki: Wait, Rinkah! Come back! Why did I open my big mouth again?

A Support

 * Rinkah: Oh, Subaki.
 * Subaki: Rinkah... I'm sorry about before. I never meant to raise your ire.
 * Rinkah: I see you beat me to the punch, Subaki.
 * Subaki: Huh? That do you mean?
 * Rinkah: You're the one who deserves an apology. That's why I've been looking for you. My temper got the better of me, I'm sorry.
 * Subaki: Honestly, I understand why you got angry. I should have chosen my words with greater care.
 * Rinkah: That's not it... The truth of the matter is, that's just a touchy subject for me. I can be very temperamental. Sometimes, it can be challenging for me to make a calm judgement. For whatever reason, I've never been able to change that aspect of my personality. It's ridiculous for me to question others' opinions.
 * Subaki: I disagree. I've been doing a bit of reflection as well. This is hard for me to discuss... But I always aim for excellence in every pursuit. So to have my tactics brought into question made me flustered. I'm sorry.
 * Rinkah: Why don't we just call it even then?
 * Subaki: That sounds good. If you want to talk with me later, feel free.
 * Rinkah: Will do!

 * Hayato: Huh? N-no, of course not. I was just debating how best to eat them.
 * Rinkah: How to eat them? What's wrong with them the way they are? I'm sure they're plenty flavorful. Do you dislike them?
 * Hayato: Honestly, they're way too bitter. I can't stand to eat them.
 * Rinkah: Huh. That's it? Why are you acting like a big baby?
 * Hayato: Hey! Don't say that! I'm not a baby!
 * Rinkah: You realise we're at war right? Every single resource is incredibly precious. How dare you waste food like that!

 * Kaden: Aww, don't be like that! I've never really met anyone from the Flame Tribe before, so I'm curious. You're not from Nohr or Hoshido, so you must have all kinds of neat stories!
 * Rinkah: Maybe so. But none that I plan on sharing. Now scram.

 * Rinkah: D-don't try and change the subject!
 * Kaden: Oh, right. Your question. Um, I don't know, I guess I just thought you were lonely.
 * Rinkah: You thought I was what?!
 * Kaden: You're the only one here from the Flame Tribe, right? It must be hard. You must get homesick a lot, not havind anyone else like you around.
 * Rinkah: Don't be an idiot! As if I'd get lonely over something like that. My people are not so small minded. Everywhere I go, I carry my tribe with me. And they I.

We've got a lot in common, you know. Like how I'm the only kitsune here from my village. And you're the only one here from the Flame Tribe! We're practically twins!
 * Rinkah: Those aren't the same. WE are not the same.

 * Rinkah: Heh, it was a joke. Don't worry.
 * Kaden: Your eyes weren't joking...
 * Rinkah: That's for me to know and you to, perhaps painfully, find out.
 * Kaden: Ahh, how about we try shopping instead! It's waaaay more fun! And it involves way fewer crippling injuries! I think it'd be a great change of pace!
 * Rinkah: *sigh* You're not going to survive a war with that kind of attitude.
 * Kaden: What? But it's important to take a breather every now and then! Anyway, let me know when you're in the mood to go shopping, OK?
