Arthur: Miss Kagero, I had heard that you were in dire need of aid.

Kagero: Hm? Oh, hello there, Arthur. I wouldn't say I'm in dire need... But I could use someone's help cleaning the mess in my room.

Arthur: That sounds like something I can handle with ease! No matter how bad, I'm always ready to face trouble head on and prevail! Even if it's just lending a helping hand with a small issue. It's in my nature.

Kagero: Well then, we can go ahead and get started right away, since you're so driven.

Arthur: Of course; I wouldn't have it any other way. You weren't kidding, though. This is quite a mess you've got. Do you do a lot of art here?

Kagero: I do. This is actually what passes for my studio, most of the time.

Arthur: There are a lot of different art supplies in here, I see.

Kagero: Indeed. I like a lot of things. Today, for example, I'm focusing on painting. Unfortunately, I get so wrapped up in what I'm doing that I forget to clean...

Arthur: Oh, painting? How wonderful! May I take a look at what you're working on? Interesting... Truly interesting. I've never seen anything like this in Nohr.

Kagero: I'm attempting to express the chaos and sadness of the world with this. I think it'll be done after another hour or two of work.

Arthur: I see... What the—! What did I kick?

Kagero: Ah!!

Arthur: Oh no! I'm so sorry, Miss Kagero! I didn't see that bucket! Was it for cleaning brushes? That would explain all that dirty water...

Kagero: What have you done... That water is all over my painting!

Arthur: I-I'm sorry! Apparently my terrible luck extends even to your studio!

Kagero: E-everyone makes mistakes, I suppose...

Arthur: Miss Kagero, I want to apologize again for my mistake the other day. I've had trouble sleeping, knowing that I destroyed your painting with my mistake.

Kagero: You really shouldn't worry about it, Arthur. I'm actually glad you came back today. We can try again at getting this place all cleaned up.

Arthur: No problem, leave it to me. I'll pay special attention to my feet—last thing I want to do is spill something again. What're you working on today, by the way?

Kagero: I decided to work at carving a sculpture. Trimming the wood is really relaxing.

Arthur: Intriguing. This shape you've carved... It looks like a heart, but it looks somehow different...

Kagero: You're right, it is a heart. I wanted it to represent a person's love.

Arthur: Well done! I can't imagine the years of practice and natural talent you have... There is no way someone like me could hope to do such a subject justice. Anyway, where should I start cleaning?

Kagero: I think it'd be a good idea to begin with gathering the things on the floor.

Arthur: Very well, that shall be my first step! Everything related to painting can go over here in this pile... Ah, here are some spare weapons; I'll stack these here. Hrm. This area could use a good sweep. Miss Kagero, could you hand me— Oh, my apologies! I didn't mean to bump when I reached out!

Kagero: I... Arthur, why...

Arthur: What is it, Miss Kagero?

Kagero: Why did you have to bump me at exactly that moment?

Arthur: What do you... Oh no! How did your carving knife get stabbed so deeply into your carving? Oh. I see. I'm so sorry for bumping into you! I didn't mean...

Kagero: It... *sigh* It's fine, Arthur. Just leave. I can handle everything today, I think.

Arthur: As you wish...

Kagero: Thank you for coming again today, Arthur.

Arthur: I was honestly surprised to hear from you, Miss Kagero. I was certain you'd want to avoid my help in any future events, considering...

Kagero: I know what you're going to say, and I wanted to tell you something. The other day I tried to dispose of the art that was damaged while cleaning. On the way to throwing it out, a Hoshidan art merchant stopped me in the street. He wanted to get a better look at my work. After staring for some time, he cried, "This is the next generation of great art!"

Arthur: H-he did?!

Kagero: He praised my use of splashed water to reflect the chaos of life in my painting. He then said that the knife buried in the heart was symbolic of love's dangers. He was so excited, he demanded to be allowed to display the works in his shop. ...Before then, no merchant had even looked at my artwork.

Arthur: Wow... Those small accidents ended up changing things for the better?

Kagero: Arthur, I'm sorry for getting cross with you when you were helping before. At the time, it felt like things just kept getting ruined for me. I see things differently now. I have a small request of you, if I may...

Arthur: Anything, Miss Kagero! Though it all worked out, I still feel I owe you!

Kagero: The art merchant was so excited, he asked me to create more artwork for him. So... I need you to come over and help me clean my room some more. It seems like good things happen when you're doing that. I'm sure that you'll lend some special quirk to whatever I am working on.

Arthur: If you think that is a good decision, then there is no way I can say no! I'm happy to do anything to right my wrongs...even if they turned out well.

Kagero: I appreciate it, Arthur. Let's get to work.

Arthur: Hello, Miss Kagero...

Kagero: Arthur? I didn't expect to see you today...

Arthur: I know; I came by today because I had something I felt compelled to tell you... I...would like to stop coming to your workshop.

Kagero: What?! Where did this... ... If that is what you wish... I have made you work hard and in keeping with my own schedule. It is only natural that you would need a break from it. I apologize for not being as aware of how it was affecting you as I should have been.

Arthur: Oh no, Miss Kagero, you misunderstand my intention. I don't mean I want to stop interacting. I mean that, once the fighting is over, I want for us to have a workshop together.

Kagero: Excuse me? What do you mean?

Arthur: Why don't we work together and create new art...under a roof that we share? I'm saying that I am in love with you.

Kagero: You're in love with me?! I didn't think this could be possible...

Arthur: Do you share these feelings? I suspected that you might, but with my luck...

Kagero: Oh I do, I promise you. I didn't expect you to say anything, though... And we are from different lands... I worry that our relationship would face resistance.

Arthur: I'd considered that as well, but then I remembered something.

Kagero: What was it that you remembered?

Arthur: Despite how bad luck seems to follow me around, when I'm with you... It seems like even my biggest mistakes turn into something positive. With that in mind, there is no way a Nohrian-Hoshidan romance won't work. You turn my bad luck good, is what I mean.

Kagero: Arthur... Your words are so moving... And exactly what I wanted to hear.

Arthur: I'm happy you think so! Together we can seize my bad luck and defeat it like so many enemies before. We must first inform Lord/Lady Avatar. I'm sure the royalty will want to know. I will let you do the talking, though. No reason to tempt fate, after all...

Kagero: Heehee, I suppose that's a good point. Come then, Arthur. Let's go and inform him/her right now. The sooner we do, the sooner we can begin planning our new, shared workshop.
