Azura: You are the ocean's gray waves... ♪
Jakob: What a lovely melody, milady.
Azura: Thank you, Jakob. My mother taught me that song. It always reminds me of her.
Jakob: Ah. That explains why you looked so happy just now. They must be lovely memories.
Azura: They are. That's all I have left of her now... memories and songs.
Jakob: At least you have that. I cannot even recall what my mother looked like.
Azura: Jakob, I'm so sorry. That's terrible.
Jakob: I'm afraid it is, but don't worry yourself on my account. The world is full of orphans. Still, it would have been nice to have learned a few songs. Please, excuse me.
(Jakob leaves)
Azura: Goodness, I had no idea. If I'd known, I would've chosen my words more carefully.

Azura: Jakob, I know this is personal, but I'd like to hear more about your childhood.
Jakob: Hmm. What I said the other day must have bothered you.
Azura: I know I shouldn't pry. I just can't imagine not knowing my own mother!
Jakob: Well, I'm afraid I must begin by apologizing to you, milady. I lied. In truth, I remember both of my parents, although I often wish I could forget them.
Azura: What?
Jakob: You see, they chose to forget me. They left me on the doorstep of Castle Krakenburg.
Azura: They abandoned you?
Jakob: My parents were well off, but cold. They cared neither for each other nor for me. I cannot recall a single happy memory from that time. One day, they handed me over to be a servant at the castle. That was the end.
Azura: How terrible. I am so sorry, Jakob. I didn't mean to bring up something so painful.
Jakob: Ah, it is nothing. Don't worry about it, Lady Azura. It's all in the past.
Azura: I don't think I'd be able to forget so easily. You're very brave, Jakob.
Jakob: Nonsense, milady. Now if you'll excuse me. Lord/Lady Avatar will be wanting tea...

Azura: Yet the waters ever change... ♪
Jakob: I doubt I could ever tire of hearing you sing, milady.
Azura: Jakob, you are just the person I wanted to see. I still feel terrible about the other day. I should have known better than to pry into someone's past.
Jakob: There's no need to apologize. I can assure you...I wasn't bothered in the slightest. In fact, I should be thanking you. You made me realize how grateful I am to my parents.
Azura: Grateful?!
Jakob: Just imagine! If I had not been abandoned, I would not be serving Lord/Lady Avatar.
Azura: I suppose that's a good point.
Jakob: When I first arrived at the castle, I was a terrible servant. The others hated me for it! My noble upbringing had not prepared me for a life of chores and errands. I was unable to complete a single task to their standards. I only got in the way.
Azura: Really? That's hard to believe. No one is more competent than you now.
Jakob: That was not always so. Things got so bad, they were finally going to dismiss me. Just as I was about to be turned out into the streets, someone called for me.
Azura: Let me guess...
Jakob: Yes, it was Lord/Lady Avatar. He/She was looking for someone to chat with. I desperately wanted to stay and earn a place by his/her side... So I studied night and day to become a proper butler. And here we are.
Azura: I was impressed with you before I ever heard your story, but now, I'm inspired! Avatar is so lucky. I can't think of anyone more loyal than you.
Jakob: I am loyal to you as well, milady.
Azura: Thank you. That means a lot.

Azura: The path is yours to cliiimb... ♪ Oh! Jakob, is that you? I didn't realize anyone was there.
Jakob: Pardon me, milady. I meant to announce myself, but I was entranced by the music. Your singing gives me such peace.
Azura: Aww. Thank you. I'm so happy that you can relax around me.
Jakob: Indeed, I can. With you, I feel at ease. I am not sure if you realize how rare that is. I've shared more of myself with you over the past few days than with anyone else.
Azura: I'm touched that you've trusted me with your story. We've both been through a lot.
Jakob: Yes. That's true. I am certain that is part of it. However, there is something else...
Azura: What's that?
Jakob: I've fallen in love with you, Lady Azura.
Azura: Oh, my.
Jakob: I know you are a princess and far above my station, but my feelings are so strong... I could not keep them to myself any longer. Excuse me. I will not trouble you further.
Azura: Jakob! Wait!
Jakob: Yes, milady?
Azura: There are so many details of our stories that I wish had turned out differently... But I would go through that pain again and again as long as it brought me here to you. Let's finish our stories together.
Jakob: Do you mean that?
Azura: Yes! You helped me appreciate the happy memories I already have... And you've given me the desire to create more. I'd like them to be with you.
(Jakob falls)
Jakob:
Azura: ...Jakob?! Are you all right?! I think he fainted!
