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 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 requisition the items on this list. Delivery is expected within the fortnight.
Hoshidan: Yes, milady. Right away, milady.

Nyx: You seem to be working very hard, Caeldori.
Caeldori: Oh, Mother! How can I help you?
Nyx: I'd heard the supply division was short of hands and thought I could help. But it looks as though you have it all handled. You must be very good at this.
Caeldori: You flatter me, but I've got plenty of room for improvement yet. I'm still very new to this kind of work.
Nyx: Heh. How modest. It's adorable. Now, what can I help you with?
Caeldori: Thank you, Mother. I appreciate your offer, truly, but I have nothing for you to do. All I've left is the inventory.
Nyx: Then I will help with that. With an army of this size, it must be very difficult for one person to count.
Caeldori: Well, see, about that—
Nyx: Here, let me see the list. We just need to make sure the numbers match, correct?
Caeldori: Well, yes, but... Here, look at this.
Nyx: Hm? This isn't an inventory. What is it? A floor plan?
Caeldori: Er, something like that, yes. 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.
Nyx: I see. Very efficient. Are you sure that there's nothing else I can do?
Caeldori: Well, I have prepared some tea for just such an occasion. Please, help yourself. Over there.
Nyx: Oh. Ah—OK. That sounds pleasant. (What is this? It's like I'm being...coddled. By my own daughter, no less.)
Caeldori: Hmm? Did you say something, Mother?
Nyx: N-no. Nothing. Nothing at all.

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: Perfect. Then all that is left is to deliver the new ones to the front. See to it.
Hoshidan: Understood, milady!
(Hoshidan leaves)
Nyx: Boo.
Caeldori: Wah! M-Mother! I didn't see you there! Did you need something?
Nyx: Oh, no. Don't mind me; I was just watching you work. I didn't want to disturb you.
Caeldori: Is something wrong? You seem a little off today.
Nyx: Oh, no. I'm fine. I just came by to offer my help again, but it appears that you still do not need it. I'm impressed, though. No hesitation. Precise, rapid orders. Intense focus. You were so impressive, in fact, that I had nothing whatsoever to offer you. So I suppose I'll just sit here and drink my tea. Again. *siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip*
Caeldori: Mother...
Nyx: You really take after your father, don't you? You think so quickly...and you know how to speak to others so well... Not much like your mother, huh?
Caeldori: I— Mother...
Nyx: Don't worry. It's a good thing. Truly. I'll be leaving now. I don't want to get in your way.

Caeldori: Mother! Oh, zucchini's blood! She's gone.

Caeldori: There you are, Mother!
Nyx: Oh, hello, Caeldori.
Caeldori: Do you have some time? I wanted to speak to you about something.
Nyx: Yes, of course. What do you need?
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.
Nyx: What do you mean? You're a very talented soldier. And I doubt this army's ever seen such a capable administrator.
Caeldori: Mother, please. Allow me to finish. I mean that...I have never seen Father work hard at anything. But I have seen you do so. I know that you sacrificed much to acquire your skills. I know that you still bear the scars from these sacrifices as well. It was you who gave me the courage to improve myself. You made me understand that I did not need to be naturally perfect to succeed. So thank you, Mother. I would not be who I am without you.
Nyx: Caeldori... You've made me so...happy...
Caeldori: Please...don't cry. There's no need to say anything. Just...never think you are not as much a part of me as Father, OK?
Nyx: Heh. OK. I promise. Never again. I'm so proud of you. Thank you so much.
