Avatar: Leo, could I borrow you for a moment?
Leo: Certainly. What do you need?
Avatar: I was hoping you could help me study.
Leo: You? Wish to study? In the middle of a war? I'm happy to help, but why are you suddenly so serious about your education?
Avatar: I thought broadening my horizons might help me protect everyone... Now that we're at war, I can practice what I learn right away in a real battle.
Leo: The battlefield is not so kind, nor so simple. I'm sure you've learned that by now. Haven't you, Avatar?
Avatar: Well, yes, but...
Leo: However! I do think intellectual pursuits play a key role in keeping a mind sharp. That can make all the difference in the heat of battle. If you truly desire it, I will teach you anything you wish to know.
Avatar: Thank you, Leo!
Leo: But don't expect me to go easy on you. You know how strict I am about my studies.
Avatar: Um, I know, but maybe...you could lighten up just a little?
Leo: You ask the impossible. I will be as strict as I need to be to help your mind grow. Don't forget, you're the one who sought this out!
Avatar: I suppose that's true... I'll do whatever you ask of me without complaint.
Leo: Spoken like a model pupil. Now, let us begin!

Avatar: Leo! I finished the assignment you gave me on battle tactics.
Leo: Ah, excellent. Hand it over; I'll take a look.
Avatar: So, um...what do you think?
Leo: This is...rubbish. If you positioned your units this way, they'd all be massacred!
Avatar: What?! No way!
Leo: You're focusing too much on the enemies right in front of you. Rookie mistake. Do that, and you open the door for them to overtake you from behind. In this situation, try using a small, select group of soldiers to scout ahead. Guide them through here while keeping close watch on their formation. If you successfully reposition them like so, see how your battle options increase? You could even sneak around here and take out their commander with ease.
Avatar: Wow... That's amazing. You're so clever, Leo.
Leo: Not really. This is the most basic of the basics. Honestly, it's a miracle you've survived this long.
Avatar: Yeah...I know. I certainly couldn't have made it so far alone. *sigh*
Leo: ...
Avatar: What's wrong, Leo?
Leo: Avatar...you know how, on the battlefield, we all look out for you? Why do you think that is?
Avatar: Probably because...I'm so new to all this.
Leo: Precisely. I'm glad you realized as much on your own. That's why Xander and Camilla have always paid more attention to you...
Avatar: Oh, Leo, I wouldn't say—
Leo: No, it's fine. The strong are always alone because no one thinks they need any help. But that's not true at all. There have been many times when I wished... that I had someone at my side, someone to help guide me through tough situations. But I'm no longer a child, and I can't get away with saying such selfish things. All I'm trying to say is that you should enjoy where you are in the growth process.
Avatar: Leo...I'm so sorry. It's all my fault you feel so hurt, isn't it? The others have always doted on me so...
Leo: ...
Avatar: You're so talented, Leo. We're all so very impressed by you. We hold you up on a pedestal of sorts... but I can see how that might be lonely. But you should know that I would trade minds with you in a moment if I could. I'm trying so hard, but I never feel like I'm quite good enough to lead us...
Leo: ...Forgive me, Brother. I said too much. We are family, first and foremost. All that matters is we have each other's backs. Forgive my moment of weakness.
Avatar: It's OK, Leo. I know I'm not as strong or wise as I should be. But that's why I need your help. I hope you will consent to keep tutoring me...
Leo: Of course, Avatar. It would be my great honor.

Avatar: Hey, Leo! I completed your latest battle tactics assignment.
Leo: Oh? Let's have a look. ...
Avatar: ...So? How did I do this time?
Leo: This is...really good, actually. Much better than the last one. Your units actually have a decent chance of survival.
Avatar: You think so? Phew! That's a relief.
Leo: Of course, there's always room for improvement. Still, you did well.
Avatar: It's all thanks to you, Leo. I couldn't have improved so quickly without your help.
Leo: Too true. In fact, showing a bit more gratitude wouldn't be out of line.
Avatar: Leo! You're the worst, haha. Is that really something a teacher should be saying?
Leo: Haha, my apologies. I tend to let my sharp tongue get carried away from time to time. Honestly, when you first asked for my help, I didn't think you'd be so dedicated.
Avatar: It's only because you're such a great teacher.
Leo: No, that's not it at all.
Avatar: It's...not?
Leo: I always had a theory about why Camilla lavishes attention on you... But now I've finally confirmed my suspicions. It's your kind heart. Being near you has a sort of unexplainable soothing effect. Additionally, you're so kind and eager to learn, it makes teaching you a great joy.
Avatar: Really? You mean it?
Leo: I do. Something about you just draws people in and makes them trust you. That's why, despite your lack of experience, you're such a natural leader. I thought the weak attracted the attention of others while the strong stood alone... But I see now that was a misunderstanding born of my own arrogance.
Avatar: Leo...
Leo: Thank you for helping me realize that, Avatar.
Avatar: Don't thank me. I didn't actually do anything...
Leo: Enough talk. I intend to polish you into the finest strategist Nohr has ever known. Scream and cry all you want, but I won't let you off the hook until you're perfect.
Avatar: Um, OK...just don't go TOO hard on me. Promise? ...Leo?!
Leo: Hmm. Well, just give me your best and we'll see what happens.
