Caeldori: All right. I think that's enough training for today!
Shigure: Afternoon, Caeldori! Just finishing up your training?
Caeldori: Yes. And you?
Shigure: I just got back from a little pleasure flight with my pegasus.
Caeldori: A pleasure flight?
Shigure: Yes. My mount and I love to go on them. It's extraordinarily relaxing. Do you not often do the same?
Caeldori: No. I train of course, but flying for leisure seems strange to me.
Shigure: How odd. I'd have thought a rider as skilled as you would love flying.
Caeldori: It seems stranger to me that you love it so much. Flying is a battlefield skill. Although I suppose some types enjoy combat simply for the sake of it...
Shigure: Hm. It's true. We typically fly only for military purposes. But that's why I think it is so important to fly for leisure as well. We should never allow the love of it to die in our hearts. Perhaps you might enjoy it more with company? Will you fly with me next time?
Caeldori: If I can find the time. How far would we be going?
Shigure: Oh, I hadn't considered it. I thought we could fly wherever the winds took us. What do you say?
Caeldori: ...Sure. All right. Perhaps it will prove more refreshing than I imagine.
Shigure: Then it's settled! I'll call on you when the time comes.
Caeldori: I look forward to it.

Shigure: See, this isn't so bad. Going on a nice, leisurely flight like this can be relaxing.
Caeldori: Yes. I didn't think I'd like it, but it's a refreshing change of pace.
Shigure: I'm happy to see you're enjoying yourself!
Caeldori: But I don't think I could do this too often. It's not really my style. Hm... How about we have a little race?
Shigure: A race?
Caeldori: Yes. I hear you can go pretty fast on that pegasus of yours. How about we put that famous speed of yours to the test?
Shigure: Haha. Sure, that sounds fun.
Caeldori: All right! Let's start after we pass that tree over there. I'm not going to lose to you!
Shigure: I won't make this easy for you! Let's go!
(Shigure leaves)
Caeldori: H-how? I lost...
Shigure: Yes, but only just. Don't feel bad.
Caeldori: A loss is a loss. You are tremendously skilled at handling your pegasus. I've got to practice more.
Shigure: You're a competitive one, aren't you? But I don't think the problem was in your skill. It was in your connection.
Caeldori: What?
Shigure: Your connection to your mount. I ride and care for mine every day. And over time, our bond has deepened. It was this bond, I believe, that won the day.
Caeldori: It's true...I rarely see you without your pegasus. Even at mealtimes...
Shigure: Haha. I only eat with her occasionally. But either way, don't worry too much. I'm sure if you spend more time with your steed, your bond will deepen naturally.
Caeldori: I suppose you're right. We'll just have to start training even more! It's so nice to have a clear goal! I'm excited. Thanks, Shigure! Let's have a rematch soon!
Shigure: Sure!
(Caeldori leaves)
Shigure: Hm...I'm not sure she understood what I meant...

Caeldori: Grrr...
Shigure: Hm? You look upset. Did something happen?
Caeldori: Er, well...it's...uh...
Shigure: I'm sorry. I don't mean to pry. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. It may be presumptuous of me, but, if you're upset, it might help to fly for a bit. A little air and exercise can do wonders for the mind.
Caeldori: Er...the problem is that flying is precisely what's bothering me.
Shigure: Hm? How so?
Caeldori: I've been training more with my pegasus since I lost that race to you the other day. But it's only made things worse. He doesn't listen to me anymore.
Shigure: I see... I was afraid that might happen. May I ask you something? Exactly how much training have you been doing?
Caeldori: Hm? About three times as much as I was before...so something like fifteen hours?
Shigure: F-fifteen?! Every day? No wonder...
Caeldori: Was that a mistake?
Shigure: Yes. Your pegasus must feel enormously strained under that much pressure. Even if it wants to be close with you, you're probably driving it mad.
Caeldori: Oh... I must have been so focused on winning our next round that I didn't notice. I've got to find a way to apologize to him...
Shigure: Why don't we go flying together after your mount's had some rest?
Caeldori: Not this again...
Shigure: No, I'm serious! Pegasi love flying! Can't get enough of it. Perhaps if you go sightseeing together instead of training, it would help things. Do something fun together. Learn to take it easy now and then.
Caeldori: Heehee. Fine, fine. I guess you'd be the one to know.
Shigure: Good! Then let's go on a trip soon.
Caeldori: Yes, let's!

Shigure: Oh, hello there, Caeldori. Are you all right? You look troubled.
Caeldori: I had a question for you, Shigure. Do you...have a girlfriend?
Shigure: Wh-what? No, I don't.
Caeldori: You don't?! Oh, praise be!
Shigure: Huh?
Caeldori: Ah! Err, it's just that...in the past, I've only had feelings for people who were taken. And I was worried that it would be the same this time.
Shigure: You mean...
Caeldori: Yes...I want to be with you, Shigure.
Shigure: Caeldori...
Caeldori: I admire your skill and your kindness. You not only bested me, but did so with grace. And you did your best to help me fix the mistakes I was making. If it weren't for you, I'd never have become as close with my pegasus as I am now. I have so much to be grateful to you for... and I've found...I feel more than gratitude.
Shigure: You've made me so happy, Caeldori. I have feelings for you too.
Caeldori: R-really?!
Shigure: Yes. At first, I just thought it would be nice to get to know another pegasus knight. But after spending so much time with you on our little flights...I began to fall for you. I want to fly by your side as your partner in life. Will you have me?
Caeldori: Yes! Of course I will! Wh-whoa, hang on, I wasn't ready for that hug! I'd never have thought you were such a passionate person!
Shigure: I'm usually not. You've just made me so happy. I hope we can spend the rest of our lives together, Caeldori!
Caeldori: Yes...me too, Shigure.
