Kagero: Kaze, can I have a moment?
Kaze: Sure—is something the matter, Kagero?
Kagero: Your brother, Saizo, is so quick to anger. Do you have any ideas about how we could get him to be less volatile?
Kaze: Have you two been fighting about things again?
Kagero: Our opinions regarding battle strategy are considerably different. We occasionally find middle ground, but in general we do not get along in command.
Kaze: Honestly, Kagero, you probably understand Saizo better than anyone else. If anyone is going to find a way to come to a compromise with him, it's you. I doubt Lord Ryoma would have made you both his retainers if he didn't think so.
Kagero: Hrmph. I was hoping you would have some brotherly insight.
Kaze: I wish that were the case. I don't think my brother and I are as close as other siblings seem to be. We don't really spend a lot of time talking about ourselves with each other...
Kagero: That is unsurprising. Secrecy is a core part of our very nature. Our training goes beyond the bonds of blood, even for twin brothers. To share more information than absolutely necessary just isn't natural.
Kaze: I suppose that's true... Now that you mention it, Saizo and I did not talk very often in our childhood, either. Naturally secretive, I suppose.
Kagero: Hah. You're probably right.
Kaze: Perhaps we could have these little chats more often? Of course, we'll avoid issues that our duty demands we not speak of.
Kagero: If that's what you wish, I'll consider it.
Kaze: Thank you very much.

Kagero: Hello, Kaze. You said you wanted to chat, but you never said what about.
Kaze: I wasn't certain. Perhaps our childhood? Do you remember when we first met?
Kagero: I started living at the castle at a very young age... I believe you and your brother visited regularly when you were older.
Kaze: That's true—we also made many trips to the castle before that, though.
Kagero: We must have met on one of those visits.
Kaze: It really does feel like we've known each other for a long time.
Kagero: Of the three of us, I've always thought you were the most levelheaded. I respect that about you.
Kaze: Whereas I've thought you're incredibly talented and someone I could learn from.
Kagero: Thank you. I'm honored to hear that.
Kaze: I have my speed and stealth, but I am less certain of myself in direct combat. You, on the other hand, excel in that area. In particular, you're quite good at using an enemy's momentum to your advantage.
Kagero: Kaze, are you sure you should be telling me all this? Even though we are allies, revealing your weaknesses to anyone is very dangerous. It is definitely something you shouldn't get in the habit of doing.
Kaze: I know, but I also feel that it helps my allies to know these things.
Kagero: Why?
Kaze: As we've traveled, I've had the chance to talk with many different people. I've learned that it's important to trust your allies and cooperate with them. If your friends know where you are strong and where you are weak... they can help you cover the weaknesses and enhance the strengths. I feel that's the most important thing I've learned from all this fighting.
Kagero: Ahhh. Now I understand what you are saying, Kaze. An army that truly believes and trusts in itself is stronger than any foe that doesn't. I think you've revealed something that I need to work on. Thank you.
Kaze: Of course, Kagero. It'd be nice if we could continue to talk like this from time to time.
Kagero: I'd like that too.
Kaze: I'm glad.

Kagero: Kaze, do you have time to talk?
Kaze: Certainly. It's nice to have you approach me for a change.
Kagero: I felt like I could afford to be a bit more proactive in our conversations.
Kaze: Regardless, I'm happy you would choose to spend your time with me. Which makes me curious... How do you normally spend your time?
Kagero: Well, usually I'm training or carrying out a mission. If I have free time, I enjoy making tea or painting. Or reading books in a quiet place.
Kaze: I didn't know that. I don't have any real hobbies, so I spend most of my time training with Saizo.
Kagero: I'm curious: How do you and Saizo train?
Kaze: It's really quite challenging, actually. Because we've trained together for so long, we know each other's moves. That means we have to constantly come up with new ways to surprise each other. The fighting is rather intense, and one of us usually walks away bloodied.
Kagero: Hmm... I can imagine that scene.
Kaze: You're always welcome to join us, Kagero.
Kagero: Despite my curiosity, I think that that is precious time between brothers. I don't want to interfere.
Kaze: I see...
Kagero: Regardless, I enjoy our chats, and I'll try and reach out to others as well. It's like you said before: sometimes you have to set aside planning for fighting... and just build relationships with your allies instead.

Kaze: Hey, Kagero...do you have a moment?
Kagero: Oh. Hello, Kaze.
Kaze: Do you mind if we talk some more?
Kagero: I don't mind, but why do you always ask questions about me? And it seems like you're doing it more and more often lately...
Kaze: Well...that's because...
Kagero: Hrm?
Kaze: It's because...I'm very curious about you.
Kagero: I see. I guess, despite my efforts, I still need to work on being more trusting and open.
Kaze: Oh, no, that's not what I meant... I don't want to shock you with this, but... I love you, Kagero.
Kagero: ...Oh my.
Kaze: I've always found your strength and grace admirable. But after we started to hang out, I realized that it wasn't just a professional attraction. Before I knew it, you were the center of my attention.
Kagero: Kaze...
Kaze: I want to know more about you, not just as an ally, but as the woman I love. Please tell me that I'm not alone in feeling this way, Kagero.
Kagero: ... You aren't. I feel the same as you.
Kaze: You do?
Kagero: Yes. I respect your skills on the battlefield but also how you keep an open mind. You've never changed that. Hearing your confession has made me incredibly happy. I promise to always adore and protect you.
Kaze: And I you!
