Laslow: Aha! If it isn't the lovely Lady Avatar. I caught you, you incorrigible flirt!

Avatar: Huh?

Laslow: Were you not eyeing me just now? Perhaps admiring my flawless smile or my manly bearing?

Avatar: What? No, I was just walking by.

Laslow: Oh. Are you sure? How peculiar. I could have sworn I felt someone staring at me.

Avatar: Be that as it may, it wasn't me.

Laslow: Perhaps I was mistaken. My apologies, your beautifulness. Never wanted to hurl false accusations at such a vision of loveliness as yourself. Truth be told, I'm happy you weren't staring. It makes me uncomfortable. Anyways! Since we're both here, perhaps milady would like to join me for some tea?

Avatar: Ah...I guess I have time. Sure.

Laslow: You do?! You mean you accept? This is so unexpected! I'm not sure how to react. (Breathe, Laslow! Breathe!)

Avatar: ...On second thought, I think I'm busy. I have to...um, do...stuff. Royal stuff.

Laslow: Ah, there it is. Rejection, my dear old friend...

Avatar: You poor thing. ...Now, if you don't mind, I'll be on my way. Bye!

Laslow: Hey! Not so fast! Life is full of twists and turns and unexpected happenings! We should approach each day as if it were our last, as for all we know it will be! Just think, tomorrow I could be spirited away—or worse! What if you never have an opportunity to see me again? Would you not give anything to then apologize for how you treated me? Perhaps...over a cup of tea?

Avatar: No.

Laslow: Yeesh. Tough crowd. Very well, then. I relent. For now! 'Til our paths cross again, milady!

Avatar: Phew. He's quite the character, isn't he?

Laslow: We meet again!

Avatar: Hello, Laslow.

Laslow: We really must quit meeting like this! Unless... Perhaps it's fate? Yes, I hear it now! The very stars whisper our names, my sweet!

Avatar: Must you do this every time? We see each other every day.

Laslow: Hm. I suppose you've a point. But I prefer to treat each meeting as if it were special. Because it is! We will never meet precisely the same way at the same time again. I think we should treasure every moment of our lives as much as most do gems.

Avatar: I see. Quite the romantic, aren't you?

Laslow: But of course! Speaking of which, I have a gift for you, milady.

Avatar: Oh. What is it?

Laslow: It's a special salve with unique restorative powers.

Avatar: Really? Wow! Thank you so much! It looks expensive. Are you sure I can have it?

Laslow: Of course! I only ask you remember this fateful crossing whenever you use it.

Avatar: I will. You know, there really is something beautiful about your point of view. Maybe I should try harder to treasure every moment.

Laslow: I'm delighted to hear you're coming around! After all, no one knows where their friends may disappear to next. Life is more fragile than most of us ever imagine...One moment, a friend is standing beside you, smiling. And the next, they're gone. And you realize that you will never see them again.

Avatar: Laslow?

Laslow: Hm? Oh! Haha. Silly me. My apologies, milady. All this is just to say you never know—you know? It's as true for me as for anyone else. I won't always be around, after all.

Avatar: Huh? Are you planning on going somewhere?

Laslow: Maybe. Maybe not. For the moment, however, I am thinking of visiting some of the fine shops in town. Would you care to join me, Lady Avatar?

Avatar: I suppose I have—Oh. I see what you're doing. You can't trick me that easily! I think I'll pass. Thanks.

Laslow: You wound me, milady. I assure you, I had only the most innocent intentions! But, in all seriousness, we should always remember that we are soldiers. At war. There's no guarantee that we will meet again with smiles on our faces.

Avatar: That's...true.

Laslow: So won't you please reconsider? I value our time together very much.

Avatar: Laslow...

Laslow: Yes, my dove?

Avatar: How many women have you used these same lines on today?

Laslow: You would be the eighth, milady.

Avatar: I'm sure you'll have a fine trip into town alone.

Laslow: Ah... And just like that, history repeats itself. Oh well...Then I only pray we shall meet again! Until next time, milady.

Avatar: Heehee. Farewell then, Laslow.

Laslow: Lady Avatar, you grace me with your presence once again.

Avatar: Hello, Laslow.

Laslow: Do you think you could find it in your heart to join me for tea now?

Avatar: Yes, I believe I can.

Laslow: Dohoho! Rejected again! Ah, well, another day anoth—Er, wait. You mean you will?!

Avatar: Yes. We never know when next we'll meet, do we? And perhaps next time you won't offer me an invitation.

Laslow: I suppose that's technically possible...

Avatar: I've spent a lot of time thinking about what you said before. Every meeting is a once-in-a-lifetime encounter, right? And now that I've come to see things this way, it would be silly of me to reject you.

Laslow: Thank you, Lady Avatar.

Avatar: But it does make me a little more scared to say good-bye to people than I used to be. When every good-bye could be your last, it becomes much harder to let go. I never thought about it much before, but now it's always on my mind.

Laslow: Milady, if I may be frank, I feel that parting is a deeply sorrowful thing. If it were up to me, I'd never have to say farewell to anyone. I've had to do that far too much in my life...But it is not up to me. It's a part of life. And life cares little for our feelings. So it is, I suppose, as important to learn to let go as it is to cherish every moment.

Avatar: I agree.

Laslow: And besides! The sorrow of parting makes reunion all the sweeter, does it not? And saying good-bye to one person usually means saying hello to another. If I had not said good-bye to many people I loved, I'd never have met you, for example. I am truly grateful I was able to make your acquaintance, Lady Avatar.

Avatar: I'm glad I was able to meet you as well, Laslow. I'm sure all of the others feel the same.

Laslow: Thank you. Now! Enough of this dreary philosophizing. Shall we treat ourselves to tea now?

Avatar: Of course! After you, good sir.

Avatar: Hello, Laslow.

Laslow: Lady Avatar. We meet again. Well, this puts me on the spot. What should I do now?

Avatar: Is something wrong?

Laslow: It hurts, is all. It hurts so much, I feel my chest will burst. If only our paths would never cross again...

Avatar: What? Are you angry with me? Did I do something to hurt you at tea?

Laslow: No... You haven't done a single thing wrong, milady. Our teatime was amazing. A revelation, even. My heart can't help but dance when you are by my side. But it also cries in pain at the same time.

Avatar: Why?! What's wrong?

Laslow: I'm terribly sorry. But I believe I've fallen in love with you, Lady Avatar.

Avatar: Y-you're joking!

Laslow: Would that I were, love. But lately I find myself staying up all night thinking of you. I wish I could just turn my feelings off, but I cannot. Nor can I ignore them. It was all I could do to just keep from telling you until now.

Avatar: I never imagined—

Laslow: But I did, milady. I imagined we would spend a long and happy life together. But I know it is a foolish dream.

Avatar: Why do you say that?

Laslow: Because meeting requires parting. And one day I would have to part from you. No matter how much I wish otherwise, when this war is over, we too shall...Well, anyways.

Avatar: Laslow, if I were to go somewhere far away, what would you do?

Laslow: I'd feel incredibly lonely without you.

Avatar: Is that all? You wouldn't try to come with me?

Laslow: Of course I would! Say the word, and I will follow you anywhere!

Avatar: Perfect. Then you will understand when I say that I would do the same for you. So if you must leave when this war ends...it doesn't matter. Wherever you go, I will go also. After all...I love you.

Laslow: Lady Avatar! Thank you. You've no idea how much it means to me to hear you say that.

Avatar: Now, no more talk about us parting, all right?

Laslow: Of course. We will always be together from here on out. I hope you're ready for that.

Avatar: As long as you're ready to give up flirting with other girls.

Laslow: Will you accept this ring?

Avatar: Of course! What a beautiful blue stone. I'll wear it always. Thank you. I suppose the next thing to do is go talk with Xander.

Laslow: ...Huh?

Avatar: What do you mean, "huh"? If we're going to be wed, my brother must be told.

Laslow: I suppose you're right. Oh gods, what am I going to do? Lord Xander is going to kill me.

Avatar: Don't worry. He won't kill you. Probably.

Laslow: *sigh* The things one does for love...This reminds me though. Lady Avatar, I have a request. There are some people I'd like for you to meet as well. People from a place I once called home. They'll love you. I know it. I want more than anything to laugh and smile with them once more...

Avatar: I'm sorry, I didn't catch that. Where did you say they were?

Laslow: Never mind. It's not important right now! We'll talk about it some other time, though. I promise.

(Confession)

Laslow: I love you, and only you. Your smiles makes life worth living. I promise to keep you safe... and I swear, I'll stay by your side, always.
