Avatar: Hello, Takumi.
Takumi: ...
Avatar: Takumi? I said hello.
Takumi: Yeah, I heard you. Do you need something?
Avatar: Well, I guess I don't NEED anything, but I was hoping we could chat...or something.
Takumi: Yeah, the thing is...I'm busy right now. Practicing. Can't you see?
Avatar: Yes, I can see that. But it seems you just don't care to get to know me at all.
Takumi: You hit the nail on the head. I know I SHOULD trust you, since we're siblings. But we were raised worlds apart, so we don't really have much in common after all.
Avatar: I see. You remember, of course, our shared history. And that we are fighting for the same cause.
Takumi: And YOU remember, of course, that you grew up with the enemy.
Avatar: Be that as it may, surely I have proven my loyalty by now. There's got to be a way to convince you... Hmm. How would you feel about training me on the bow?
Takumi: I don't see the point.
Avatar: Well, it'll give us a chance to get to know each other a little bit. And then, in the next battle, I can more effectively demonstrate my loyalty.
Takumi: Very well. You get one shot at this, understand? If you start slowing me down, I'm outta here.
Avatar: I'll do my best to keep up. Thank you, Takumi.
Takumi: Hmph, we'll see.

Takumi: Avatar! Your arm is too low. Raise it three degrees! Also, bend your right knee another six degrees. What are you doing? Never take your eyes off the target!
Avatar: OK...I'm doing my best! Just give me a moment to concentrate...
Takumi: What was that? Who asked who for help? Don't tell me you're already whining!
Avatar: No! I can do this. We're at war—I can't give up now.
Takumi: *sigh* Fine, I guess we can take a break.
Avatar: Whew. I must admit, I'm grateful for the rest. It's harder to bend a bow than I imagined.
Takumi: Well, of course. Did you think it would be easy?
Avatar: To be honest...sort of. But, that's only because you make it look so easy, Takumi.
Takumi: Are you being sarcastic?
Avatar: No, I mean it. Watching you, it looks effortless. But when I pick up the bow... I realize that I need to work on my stance, my strength, and my concentration. Still, I've already improved. Wouldn't you agree?
Takumi: Yes. You are making progress. But make no mistake—you have a long way to go!
Avatar: Of course. So, why don't we get back to work?
Takumi: Very well. OK, get into position, take a deep breath, slowly pull back...
Avatar: Ow!
Takumi: What happened?!
Avatar: Sorry! My hand slipped. Oh, damn. I'm bleeding.
Takumi: How bad is it?
Avatar: Not bad. I'll be fine...
Takumi: Let me see. Nope, you're done for today.
Avatar: But I want to keep practicing! This is my chance to learn from you!
Takumi: I said you're done. You can't hit anything with an injury like that. And besides...you'll get other chances.
Avatar: Do you mean that, Takumi? I'd be really grateful for the opportunity. I guess I'll go get this bandaged up...
(Avatar leaves)
Takumi: Maybe I pushed him too hard...

Takumi: Hey, what are you doing with that bow? I thought I told you to lay off until your hand heals!
Avatar: Oh, I know. I'm not practicing. I'm just polishing and adjusting the tension. I feel restless not being able to practice.
Takumi: You're really getting into this, aren't you?
Avatar: You know...I am! It was devastatingly hard at first, but you're a good teacher. I do hope I'm coming along fast enough and not just wasting your time.
Takumi: Don't worry, you're not.
Avatar: Really?
Takumi: No. You're actually really talented. And as much as I hate to do this...I have to apologize. I've seen your dedication to Hoshido with my own two eyes. So, please forgive me for doubting you in the first place. I will gladly continue your training as soon as you're ready.
Avatar: Thank you, Takumi. I'm so glad you gave me a chance.
Takumi: You're welcome. Oh, by the way, take this. It's a salve that might help your hand heal faster.
Avatar: Great! I've been dying to get back to work with you.
Takumi: Me too, Avatar.
