Scarlet: Who's there?! Oh...it's just you, Avatar.
Avatar: I'm very sorry to interrupt your training. Please, continue.
Scarlet: Haha, it can wait. Didja need me for something?
Avatar: Oh, er, no. I was just captivated by the way you handle your weapon. I couldn't help but stop to watch.
Scarlet: Wanna practice with me?
Avatar: Y-you wouldn't mind?
Scarlet: Of course not! Here, hold this and stand a few feet away.
Avatar: Got it!
Scarlet: Nice moves. You have good balance and a knack for when to block.
Avatar: You're too kind. May I ask where you learned to fight that way?
Scarlet: Oh, I'm self-taught. Both my parents were knights, so I copied what I saw them do. See, I grew up in Cheve, home to three companies of knights. In a place like that, even the alley cats pick up a few moves.
Avatar: Why didn't you join any of these companies?
Scarlet: I planned to. I thought I'd sign on with the same company my parents did. But when I saw how King Garon treated his subjects, I knew it wasn't in the cards. I had no faith in the Nohrian nobility to do right by the common folk. So I ended up forming my own company, which turned into the resistance. That about sums it up.
Avatar: Well, I salute your bravery. As well as your skill with a blade...

Scarlet: Hey, Avatar! Glad you showed up.
Avatar: What, no practice today?
Scarlet: Nah, I thought it was a nice day to do something else.
Avatar: And it involves these...shiny little rocks?
Scarlet: You've never seen these? Wow, you really were sheltered, huh? Pull up a seat, and I'll give you a little demonstration. First, you unsheathe your weapon and put it down on some paper, like so. Then you pour on some of this magic gunk. It's very sticky, so try not to touch it. When everything's ready, you place these stones in the gunk.
Avatar: Oh! So this is what makes your weapons so sparkly, is it?
Scarlet: Yep. This is how I pretty them up. It's called mosaic, and it's one of my favorite hobbies.
Avatar: What are those faint lines near the hilt?
Scarlet: Sketch lines. I draw a design I like in pencil and then fill it in with the stones. That way it comes out looking kinda like a painting.
Avatar: That's amazing!
Scarlet: You have to be reaaaaal patient... Place each rock slowly... Carefully... And you're done!
Avatar: What a lovely white flower!
Scarlet: You like it? It's a kind of flower native to Cheve.
Avatar: It's strong and dignified, yet also ornate and beautiful. Just like you, Scarlet.
Scarlet: Haha, you're laying it on pretty thick.
Avatar: No, it's true! You're strong and dependable, which are fine qualities in and of themselves... And you balance them well with your softer, more creative side.
Scarlet: Hahaha, you're not so bad yourself! I could get to like hanging out with a gal who says nice things about me all the time.

Avatar: *yawn* Scarlet...? It's pretty late. What did you need?
Scarlet: Ah, sorry about that. I just felt like stargazing with ya.
Avatar: Stargazing?
Scarlet: Yeah. It's easy; you just lie down on this here blanket and look up.
Avatar: All right.
Scarlet: Well? Whaddaya think?
Avatar: It's breathtaking... I never realized how many stars there were in the sky.
Scarlet: Yeah, this is one of the best hills for it. The stars are so pretty here.
Avatar: Oh!
Scarlet: What? Didja see a shooting star?
Avatar: No, it's just...looking up at the stars, I realize... they remind me of the stones you use to decorate your weapons.
Scarlet: Haha, don't they though? Part of the reason I like making mosaics is that they remind me of the stars.
Avatar: Really?
Scarlet: ... I mentioned my parents, yeah? They...aren't around anymore. The war took them.
Avatar: ...I'm sorry to hear that.
Scarlet: In Cheve, we believe that people who die turn into stars. So when I lie out here stargazing, it feels almost like visiting my folks.
Avatar: And that's the same reason you decorate your weapons?
Scarlet: Yeah. Hey, Avatar... When I die, what color star do you think I'll be?
Avatar: D-don't ask that. It's bad luck.
Scarlet: Hey, we all gotta go sometime. You can't avoid thinking or talking about it if you've chosen to go to war. Don't tell me you've never wondered what happens after you die.
Avatar: ... In that case, I'd say... the shiniest stone on your weapon is the one you would be.
Scarlet: Yeah...I like that. Good choice, Avatar. One of these days we'll get your weapon decorated too.
Avatar: Huh?
Scarlet: With a bunch of those stones you say remind you of me.
Avatar: If that's a serious offer, I'm looking forward to it!
Scarlet: We'll need a design... Maybe watching the stars will give us some inspiration.
Avatar: Sounds good.
