Laslow: Well, I think that's enough dance practice for one night! I better get some sleep. Now I just need to sneak back before anyone sees me...

Azura: Oh!

Laslow: OH!

Azura: AHH!

Laslow: ...AHHHHH! Lady Azura?! Is that you? ...I thought you were a spy sneaking into our camp!

Azura: Laslow? My goodness! You startled me!

Laslow: Forgive me, milady! But where is your escort? Surely you're not out here alone!

Azura: Don't be silly. I see you're by yourself. It can't be THAT dangerous.

Laslow: Yes, but you're a woman and a princess. I'm sure our enemies would love to kidnap a member of the royal family!

Azura: I see. Well, I was having trouble sleeping. What's your excuse? You like to use these evening hours for your secret dance practice, don't you?

Laslow: What?! How do you know? You haven't been watching me, have you?

Azura: Would that be so bad?

Laslow: Well, it's a little embarrassing! Next time, you should announce yourself.

Azura: I'm sorry. I wasn't spying on you on purpose. I didn't expect you to be there!

Laslow: All right. ... Well, now that you've seen me, I may as well ask. What did you think?

Azura: Honestly, I could watch you for hours.

Laslow: Really? I'm flattered! So would you care to join me for a cup of tea? We can continue getting acquainted.

Azura: It's a little late for that. Don't you think? Everyone else is asleep!

Laslow: Why, yes. I suppose you're right. Breakfast then? We can watch the sun rise together!

Azura: I think we both know you're hoping for more than a cup of tea. Please, excuse me.

(Azura leaves)

Laslow: Wait! Lady Azura, at least let me escort you home! It could be dangerous!

Azura: You are the ocean's gray waves... ♪

Laslow: Did I interrupt you? Forgive me, but from over here, it looked like you were dancing.

Azura: My mother taught me a few steps. A good singer must understand dance as well.

Laslow: I had no idea your mother danced. What a coincidence! My mother taught me too.

Azura: Well, you certainly inherited her grace. You have such a lovely, fluid quality... But there's a hint of sadness too. I almost feel as though you are mourning for her.

Laslow: You can tell all that just from my dancing?

Azura: Music and dance never lie. I don't mean to offend you, but sometimes, I don't think you're entirely truthful.

Laslow: What?! You're calling me a liar?

Azura: Yes, but let me explain! I've seen you dance in front of the others before... You have great technique, but your dancing lacked the passion I saw the other night. Now that I've seen you dance in private, I know you've been holding back.

Laslow: I thought you would understand. I get nervous dancing in front of other people.

Azura: This may sound harsh, but dancing like that is unfair to your audience! Practice in secret all you want, but when you step on stage, you're there for them! You must dance with confidence so they can carry your strength into battle.

Laslow: I never thought of it that way.

Azura: Well, you should. Now if you'll excuse me...

(Azura leaves)

Laslow: Lady Azura, please...wait!

Laslow: Lady Azura, I've looked everywhere for you! Did you see me dancing today?

Azura: Yes! At first, I didn't even recognize you. You looked so strong and confident!

Laslow: I remembered what you said and tried to channel my inner Azura.

Azura: Well, your passion was contagious. We could all feel it.

Laslow: It's all thanks to your advice, milady.

Azura: Actually, I wanted to apologize about that. I think I was a little harsh.

Laslow: You were extremely harsh, but everything you said was true.

Azura: I didn't tell you this, but I used to get stage fright. My mother was so talented... I knew I'd never measure up! I always worried people would make fun of me.

Laslow: Really? I had no idea.

Azura: One day, Queen Mikoto pulled me aside. She told me my voice was beautiful. I could either learn to sing with confidence, or I could waste my talent being afraid. That was a turning point for me. I decided to be brave every time I stepped on stage.

Laslow: I hope I can perform with such power one day.

Azura: Power? What do you mean?

Laslow: Your voice has a special power. Out on the battlefield, you inspire the soldiers. When you sing, you give them strength and encourage them to keep fighting! My mother was the same way. When she danced, she gave everyone courage.

Azura: I'm afraid you're wrong. My power comes from this pendant. It's not me.

Laslow: Hmm. I find that hard to believe.

Azura: Well, if you keep dancing like you did today, everyone will be asking you to dance.

Laslow: I promise to save a dance for you, milady.

Azura: I wouldn't mind taking you up on that offer right now. What if I sing and you dance?

Laslow: I would love that, milady. You shall be my inspiration.

Azura: ...And you shall be my muse!

Laslow: Lady Azura, is that you? Were you spying on my dance practice again?

Azura: I'm so sorry. I couldn't help myself. You were mesmerizing.

Laslow: Thank you. That's kind of you to say.

Azura: There's a glow about you. If I didn't know better, I'd think you were in love.

Laslow: Uh...no! Where'd you get that idea?

Azura: Oh. It's nothing. There's a sensitivity to your dancing now... It seemed as though you were thinking of someone special. You can tell me... Perhaps I could put in a good word for you with the lady in question.

Laslow: For someone so in tune with everyone else's emotions, you sure can be oblivious!

Azura: What?!

Laslow: Milady, it was you. You're the person I was thinking about just now. I guess I'm not as good at conveying my emotions as I thought. *sigh* If you'll excuse me...clearly, I need more practice!

(Laslow leaves)

Azura: Wait. Don't go, Laslow!

Laslow: Hmm?

Azura: What did you mean?! You were thinking of me?

Laslow: Milady, I mean exactly that. I'm in love with you, but it's pointless. You're a princess, and I am nothing! That's why I can only love you from afar.

Azura: Well, now you're the one being oblivious!

Laslow: Huh?

Azura: There aren't many people I can talk to about music or singing or dance... ...Let alone perform with! I thought we shared something special.

Laslow: I didn't realize our duet had such an impact on you.

Azura: Well, it did. I don't care if you're a prince or not, Laslow. I want to be with you.

Laslow: Really? Then will you accompany me again?

Azura: Nothing would make me happier. I'll sing with you in my thoughts...

Laslow: ...And I'll dance with you in my heart.

Azura: May our song never end!
