Caeldori: Hm. The advance troops have just received fresh recruits, so they'll be needing tents. And a larger shipment of grain. Have the quartermaster make the arrangements.
Hoshidan: At once, milady. Would you also like him to resume his duties managing the armory?
Caeldori: No, I will continue to oversee the armory personally. On that note, please go to the smiths and issue a requisition for the items on this list. Delivery is expected within the fortnight.
Hoshidan: Yes, milady. Right away, milady.
(Hoshidan leaves)
Mozu: Well, you've certainly been busy, haven't you?
Caeldori: Mother! How can I help you?
Mozu: I heard the supply division was short- handed and thought I could help. But it looks like you've got it all under control! Whoever appointed you really knew what they were doing.
Caeldori: You flatter me, but I've got plenty of room for improvement yet. I'm still very new to this kind of work.
Mozu: You're just being modest! Now, how can I help?
Caeldori: Thank you, Mother. I appreciate the offer, truly, but I have nothing for you to do. All I've left is the inventory.
Mozu: Then I'll help with that! With an army this size, taking inventory must take a minute.
Caeldori: Well, see, about that—
Mozu: That there's the inventory list, right? Let me have a look.
Caeldori: I— Hey! Would you please give that back? It's very important.
Mozu: Huh? This ain't an inventory. What is it? Some kind of diagram?
Caeldori: Er, yes, something like that. It's a plan for the armory I drew up a little while ago. If the supplies are stored according to the plan, they can be counted very easily. It takes a fraction of the time and...only one person. I'm sorry, Mother.
Mozu: I see. Uh. Very good! So...you're sure there's nothing else I could do?
Caeldori: Um...well... Oh! I prepared some tea earlier! You should have a seat and help yourself to some! It's riiiight over there. In the corner.
Mozu: Oh. O-OK. (So...I'm just...useless to her.) (I know she don't mean anything by it, but it sure sores my heart.)
Caeldori: Hmm? Did you say something, Mother?
Mozu: N-nope! Nothing at all, dear.

Caeldori: All right, these crates are fully loaded. Have we moved the damaged weapons yet?
Hoshidan: Yes, milady. They are en route to the smiths as we speak.
Caeldori: Good. Then all that is left is to deliver the new ones to the front. See to it.
Hoshidan: It shall be done, milady.
(Hoshidan leaves)
Mozu: ...
Caeldori: Wah! M-Mother! I didn't see you! Wait, what are you doing?! It's dangerous to hide in there like that! We put weapons in those barrels!
Mozu: I'm all right, dear. I was just watching you work and didn't want to interrupt.
Caeldori: Is something wrong? You seem a little off today.
Mozu: Oh, no, I'm fine. I just swung by to help out, but it looks like ya still don't need any. I'm impressed. You don't hesitate, you're precise, and you're quick on your feet. In fact, you were so impressive, I couldn't figure out any ways to help. I guess I'll just sit right over here and drink my tea while you work. Again. *siiiiiip*
Caeldori: Mother...
Mozu: You really are a lot like your pa, huh? You're smart, and strong, and charming, and pretty. All his gifts, you got too. Guess there's not all that much of your mother in you, though...
Caeldori: Mother, that's— You—
Mozu: Don't worry, Caeldori. It's a good thing. Really, it is. Now, there's not much point in me loafing around here, so I think I'll be going. Keep up the good work! I'm very proud of you.
(Mozu leaves)
Caeldori: Mother! Oh, sorrels and morels! She's gone.

Caeldori: There you are, Mother!
Mozu: Oh, um. Hi, Caeldori.
Caeldori: Do you have some time? I wanted to speak to you about something.
Mozu: Yeah, of course. What's the matter?
Caeldori: Well, the last time we talked, you said that I was just like Father. But I don't think that's true. Fighting, riding, speaking—it all comes to him as naturally as breathing. I'm not like that.
Mozu: What do you mean?
Caeldori: I mean that...I have never seen Father work hard at anything. But I have seen you do so. I know that you trained for years to acquire your skills. It was your work ethic that gave me the courage to improve myself. You made me understand that I didn't need to be naturally perfect to succeed in life. So, thank you, Mother. I would not be who I am without you.
Mozu: No, thank you. It makes me so happy to hear you say that. I— *sniff* Oh gods. I don't know what to say.
Caeldori: There's no need to say anything. Just, please, never think you're any less important a part of me than Father, OK?
Mozu: Yeah, of course. I'm sorry. I won't ever say anything like that again. Oh, Caeldori, I'm so lucky to have a daughter like you.
