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. And would you like him to resume his duties managing the armory?
Caeldori: No. I will continue to oversee it 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.
(Hoshidan leaves)
Orochi: Well, you've certainly been busy.
Caeldori: Mother! How can I help you?
Orochi: Oh, I just had some spare time and thought I should come by to help out. But it looks like you've got everything under control! It seems 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.
Orochi: I don't believe that for a second! Now, what can I help you with?
Caeldori: Thank you, Mother. I appreciate your offer, truly, but I have nothing for you. All I've left is the inventory.
Orochi: Then I'll help with that! With an army like this, it must take forever to count everything.
Caeldori: Well, see, about that—
Orochi: Here, let me see the list. We just need to make sure the numbers match, right?
Caeldori: I— Would you please give that back? It's important.
Orochi: Huh? This isn't an inventory. What is it? Some kind of diagram?
Caeldori: Er, something like that, yes. It's a plan I drew up for the armory a little while ago. If the supplies are stored according to the plan, they can be counted with ease. It takes a fraction of the time and...only one person. I'm sorry, Mother.
Orochi: I see. So...uhm. Is there really nothing else I can do?
Caeldori: Um, well... Oh! I have prepared some tea over there that you could drink! Please, help yourself!
Orochi: O-oh... Thank you... (Gods, I'm being coddled by my own daughter.)
Caeldori: What was that? Did you say something, Mother?
Orochi: N-nope! Not a thing.

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: Yes, milady!
(Hoshidan leaves)
Orochi: ... *cough*
Caeldori: Wah! M-Mother! I didn't see you! Wait, what are you doing?! It's dangerous to hide in there! We put weapons in those barrels.
Orochi: Oh, sorry! I was just watching you work, and I didn't want to disturb you.
Caeldori: Is something wrong? You seem a little odd today.
Orochi: Hahahahahahaha! Oh, of course not, dear. Nothing's wrong. You're such a joker! I just came by again to offer my help, but it looks like you still don't need any. I'm impressed! No hesitation. Precise, rapid orders. Extreme focus. Good work! In fact, you were so impressive that I felt I had nothing to offer. So I suppose I'll just sit over here and drink my tea. Again. *siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip*
Caeldori: Mother...
Orochi: Haha! It's fine. You've just got a lot of your father in you. You're intelligent, you're charismatic, you're strong. You've got all his gifts. Not much like your mother though, huh?
Caeldori: I— Mother...
Orochi: Heehee! Don't worry about it. It's a good thing, really. Well, I'd best make myself scarce. Don't want to get in the way. Keep up the good work, girly!

Caeldori: Mother! Oh, figgleworts! She's gone.

Caeldori: Ah, there you are, Mother.
Orochi: Caeldori?
Caeldori: Do you have some time? I wanted to speak to you about something.
Orochi: Um, sure. What do you need?
Caeldori: The last time we talked, you said that I was just like Father... But I don't think that's the case. I've always wanted to be like him. He does everything so effortlessly... Fighting, riding, speaking—it all comes as naturally to him as breathing. I'm not like that.
Orochi: What do you mean? You've done such amazing work. I don't think we've ever had such a capable administrator within our ranks before.
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. And it is this work ethic that gave me the courage to improve myself. It made me understand that I did not need to be perfect to achieve my goals in life. What I have accomplished, I have done through hard work, not natural genius. So thank you, Mother. I would not be who I am without you.
Orochi: Oh, gods, Caeldori, I... *sniff* *sob* It's— You're so— I'm...gonna...
Caeldori: There's no need to cry. And please, never think you're not as important a part of me as Father, OK?
Orochi: O-OK. Heh. *sniff* Thank you. You make me so proud to be your mother.
