Hinoka: Ha! Hai-yah!

Jakob: Holding nothing back, not even when simply training... Unsurprising, Princess Hinoka. I see why you're called the warrior princess.

Hinoka: Hello, Jakob. I didn't realize you were standing there.

Jakob: Please excuse my interruption.

Hinoka: It's no problem. I was planning to take a short break anyway.

Jakob: If you'd like, I could prepare some tea for you...

Hinoka: No, that's all right. I'll only be resting for another minute or so.

Jakob: You're interesting, Princess Hinoka... You're a member of royalty, but you insist on being in the front lines of battle. I know of no one quite as courageous as you are.

Hinoka: I've spent many, many hours of my life training to be the best warrior possible. It'd be a shame if I wasted all that effort by hiding in the rear of the army. Of course, I learned all the proper formal behaviors for a princess, too... But that was when I was a child, and I've forgotten a lot of it by now.

Jakob: Hahaha, I can see that. Looking at you with that weapon in hand, it's hard to picture you curtsying.

Hinoka: I cast aside a lot of that formality in favor of martial prowess. I don't regret that decision for a moment. I won't set my weapon aside now that Avatar is no longer a prisoner. There is still a lot of fighting left to do.

Jakob: ...

Jakob: Hello, Princess Hinoka...

Hinoka: Jakob? I didn't see you there. What do you need?

Jakob: Pardon my forwardness, but might I offer a suggestion?

Hinoka: Speak your mind.

Jakob: Would you be interested in revisiting the formal etiquette you've forgotten?

Hinoka: Etiquette? You're referring to courtly behavior and such? What good will that do? There isn't a lot of use for a formal greeting in battle.

Jakob: Perhaps not directly, but... Don't think of it as something that will impact your normal training. We'd only practice in your free time. You never know when it may come in handy.

Hinoka: If I agreed, you'd be my teacher? I suppose there is some value in the royalty knowing about more than just war... If you truly think this will help me, then I will go along with the idea. Let's get started right away.

Jakob: Well done, Princess Hinoka. You've clearly retained more of what you learned as a child than you thought.

Hinoka: I didn't realize how ingrained that knowledge really was. I suppose I can thank my childhood tutors for that. Not as bad a starting point as you thought it would be, then?

Jakob: Yes. I'm actually quite relieved.

Hinoka: Heh. Well, if we're done for today, I'll return to my regular training!

Hinoka: Hiyah! Haaaa!

Jakob: Hello, Princess Hinoka. I've brought you some iced tea.

Hinoka: Oh, thank you, Jakob. It's good that you came, actually. I had something I wanted to ask you...

Jakob: What is it?

Hinoka: I'm curious why you proposed revisiting my courtly education the other day.

Jakob: That's simple, Princess Hinoka. War is not limited only to the battlefield.

Hinoka: Hrm. Heh, I see what you're saying. And you're definitely right. Politics and diplomacy are versions of war.

Jakob: Indeed. Not all battles can be won with numbers and swords. At least, that's my personal opinion.

Hinoka: So...by reminding me of my courtly training, you've really given me another weapon. On a political battlefield, careful words and behavior are my sword and shield. Have I got that right?

Jakob: Indeed, Princess Hinoka.

Hinoka: Thank you, Jakob. This is as important as any combat training.

Jakob: I'm happy to help, Princess Hinoka.

Jakob: Princess Hinoka, might I have a moment of your time?

Hinoka: Of course, Jakob. What do you need? Is it already time for another etiquette lesson?

Jakob: No, Princess Hinoka... I... Well, I wanted to tell you that I love you.

Hinoka: Wh-what?!

Jakob: I was hoping that we could be together. I've brought you a present...

Hinoka: Hang on a second! This is all coming very suddenly!

Jakob: It isn't all that sudden, really. I gave this a great deal of thought and consideration before I came to talk to you.

Hinoka: It's all very sudden for me, though! We've never talked about romance at all.

Jakob: You do have a point there... I can return another day, after you've had some time to consider things.

Hinoka: N-no, hang on. I just need a moment to compose myself.

Jakob: Take all the time you need.

Hinoka: You know I'm not the traditional princess. Despite the lessons you've been giving me, I won't give up my warrior training.

Jakob: I understand this.

Hinoka: I'll be in dangerous situations constantly. I suppose I'm just curious... What is it about me that caught your eye?

Jakob: It's obvious, isn't it? Your ambition, your dedication, your strength... I find all of that attractive.

Hinoka: O-oh! Well... You realize that, as a member of Hoshidan royalty, my life is different than most?

Jakob: Of course. What of it?

Hinoka: Just that, if we were to be together... You'd have to adapt to a completely new kind of life. It isn't always fun, either. There are obligations and responsibilities...

Jakob: If that is all that stands between me and you, I'll gladly face the challenge.

Hinoka: Hrm... There's also—

Jakob: Allow me to interrupt you here, and I'm sorry for being so blunt... But I suspect you are just looking for reassurance that your feelings are true. I could tell from the moment I spoke that we feel the same way about each other.

Hinoka: Jakob... Hah. Thank you for being so direct. You're right. How did you know?

Jakob: I spent several hours talking to myself in the mirror, tackling all my own excuses. We may not be equals in battle prowess, but we definitely share some similarities.

Hinoka: Well said... OK, Jakob. Let's go forward in life together.

Jakob: I'm so happy to hear you say that, Hinoka.
