Orochi: Hnnng...
Azama: Excuse me?
Orochi: Grrrrrr...
Orochi: Pah! I win.
Azama: You win...what, exactly? What's going on?
Orochi: Oh, just a little staring contest between me and you. I won.
Azama: What?! You can't win if I didn't know we were playing? Now, give me another chance...
Orochi: Sorry. I just retired from the sport of staring contests.
Azama: Fine, whatever. Why should I care? I've never given you a second thought.
Orochi: Is that so? I seem to remember you asking me for a little help with some magic.
Azama: Yes, but if you recall—you never did help me.
Orochi: Ah, yes. Why was that?
Azama: Because you asked me to pick herbs in return! Imagine that—a holy man like me, picking herbs. A ridiculous notion! Besides, I clearly didn't need the help. I was probably taking pity on you.
Orochi: You are quite rude, aren't you?
Azama: On the contrary, I am a man of the gods. Anything I say is divinely sanctioned. You're the one who enjoys belittling people.
Orochi: I-I don't belittle people!
Azama: Ah, now I've won.
Orochi: Won what?!
Azama: Oh ho! The insult contest. And now, I retire from the sport of insults.
Orochi: Oh, you're a devious little monk...
Azama: It seems we're more alike than either of us would care to admit.

Azama: Oh, hello there, Orochi. How are you doing today?
Orochi: Azama. What are you playing at?
Azama: Nothing at all! I just realized that I had a favor to ask of you. I was wondering if you could divine something for me.
Orochi: You know that my price for divining is a handful of fresh herbs, right? I thought you were above such things as gathering herbs...
Azama: I don't need you to tell me what I'm above or not above. I just need you to divine something. Now, will you accept these herbs as payment or not?
Orochi: Where did you get these? They don't grow anywhere within a hundred miles of here! And they're worth their weight in gold... Yes. I-I accept them. Gladly! And I'm not giving them back, no matter what. You got that?
Azama: How dare you suggest such a thing. Consider them yours.
Orochi: Suddenly I'm not so sure about this, but... A deal's a deal. Now. What is it you wanted to know?
Azama: Well, you see...there's a person who I want to agitate. But I'm not quite sure how to REALLY get under her skin.
Orochi: ...
Azama: So, I was hoping you could use your skills to tell me the best way to truly annoy her.
Orochi: You're talking about me, right?
Azama: Oh! How did you figure it out?
Orochi: This doesn't count as divination. You just want me to confess my weaknesses!
Azama: Guilty as charged. But what are you going to do? If you're not going to perform the service, then I'd like my herbs back. Although, that would be a bit dishonest, since you said you'd NEVER give them up.
Orochi: You scheming weasel...
Azama: Oh ho! I'm already quite enjoying myself. Perhaps I've found my answer.
Orochi: Oh no. You're not going to win that easy. I can do this. Grr! My weakness is...those critters that sneak into the castle pantry. Rats! I'm scared of rats and I hate them! There! You happy?
Azama: Well. I never would have expected such a...mundane...fear for you.
Orochi: Gah!
Azama: But, no matter. I can work with this. Look forward to it, Miss Orochi. Heh, heh.
Orochi: These herbs better be damn good...

Orochi: Eee! Was that a rat? Oh...just a bird. Whew... Ever since that jerk Azama tricked me, I've been hearing rats everywhere... Now, what's this all about? A card hanging from a string in the pantry? If he's planted a rat in here somewhere, he'll live to regret it.
Azama: Oh, don't mind that card. It's just a charm to help ward away rats and other vermin.
Orochi: Gah! You scared me. What were you doing? Hiding in here?
Azama: Yes.
Orochi: Why?! And what do you know of this charm?
Azama: Well, I made it, of course. We can't have rats in here stealing our precious food.
Orochi: What's your angle?
Azama: Oh ho! This is so much fun. No angle, Orochi. Although I do enjoy seeing you quaking with fear.
Orochi: Grr...
Azama: What? I'm not pulling any kind of trick on you. You don't see any rats around here, do you? Nor have you seen any since you told me you were afraid of them. Right?
Orochi: No, I suppose not...
Azama: Well! How fortunate for you! I wish you much continued fortune.
Orochi: You're plotting something—I just know it.
Azama: And you disappoint me, Miss Orochi. I'm honestly just trying to help you out.
Orochi: Ha. Well, OK. I guess, if nothing else, you've flustered me more than anyone else ever has...
Azama: I take that as a compliment. Good day!
Orochi: Heh. Don't get too pleased with yourself.

Azama: Good day, Miss Orochi.
Orochi: Azama. You...you haven't bothered me for a while. What's going on?
Azama: Ah! I need another favor.
Orochi: Very well. Do you have some more of those rare herbs for me?
Azama: I'm afraid not. But I thought that ridding the entire region of rats might have earned me a credit.
Orochi: I suppose so. How can I help you?
Azama: Splendid! I'm looking for some more information about you. I'd like to know the second-best way to drive you mad.
Orochi: ... Really? You're just going to ask me that straight to my face?
Azama: Is that strange? I thought we'd reached a certain level of camaraderie. And besides, I really like you. I dream of that cute face you make when you're angry.
Orochi: Damn it!
Azama: Yes! That's the one. So please, won't you give me something to work with?
Orochi: You're such an oddball.
Azama: I take that as a high compliment! Please remember that you started all of this with your unexpected staring contest. I think you were subconsciously trying to attract me.
Orochi: All right, I'll give you one more clue—since you can't seem to divine one on your own. I seem to have a strange affinity for socially awkward monks.
Azama: Hahaha! Wait...what?!
Orochi: You heard me. In the spirit of keeping my enemies close, I insist that you marry me.
Azama: Oh ho! I love that you turned the tables on me like that. I accept! No one can say that Azama ever backed down from a dare!
Orochi: Great! Till death do us part! Ahahaha! What if I told you this was my plan all along?
Azama: I...I've been outplayed?
