Silas: Hana, there's something I'd like to talk to you about.

Hana: What's that?

Silas: It may not be my place to say this, but what was wrong in the battle?

Hana: Excuse me?

Silas: I heard that you're considered one of the best samurai in Hoshido. I was excited to see your technique in action and had high expectations. To tell you the truth...I was a little disappointed in your performance.

Hana: What! How dare you...?!

Silas: Your first blows were surprisingly weak. And you don't even try to anticipate and counter the attacks from your enemies. You appeared uncommitted to the battle, putting yourself and your allies in danger.

Hana: Well...I didn't sleep very well last night. And I skipped breakfast this morning. Usually I'm a lot better than that.

Silas: Hrm... Why is it that you've taken up the sword, Hana? What are you fighting for?

Hana: That's obvious. I'm fighting for my liege and best friend, Lady Sakura.

Silas: So I can infer the loyalty Lady Sakura deserves from the quality of your fighting. She must not deserve much if this is how you fight in her name...

Hana: Excuse me?! I'll pretend, for the moment, that you did not directly insult me. But I won't let you slight Lady Sakura's character!

Silas: If you're bitter about my words, let's see you prove me wrong in our next battle.

Hana: You better believe I will! Grrrrrr!!

Hana: Silas, care to explain what you were doing in that last battle?

Silas: What is that supposed to mean?

Hana: I was watching the way you were fighting before... Based on what I saw, I don't think you have the right to criticize my technique!

Silas: I think I see where this is going... Is this some kind of payback for my comments the other day?

Hana: It sure is! So I'll ask you the same thing you asked me: Just what is it you're fighting for?

Silas: That's easy to answer. I'm fighting for Lord/Lady Avatar, my old friend.

Hana: Old friend, huh? Seems exactly like my reasoning.

Silas: Hah, I hardly think it is fair to compare the two of us. My dedication is far stronger. That the situations are similar is a coincidence.

Hana: Whaaat?! OK, I don't know exactly how strongly you feel for Avatar, but... I am really dedicated to Lady Sakura.

Silas: Oh? Go on. Tell me how deep your loyalty runs.

Hana: All right! Lady Sakura and I are like... ...

Silas: What's the matter?

Hana: I'm not going to do it. Our relationship cannot be expressed adequately in words. I think trying to do so would only cheapen it.

Silas: I see. Well, you may have a point there. It wouldn't be right to try and describe my bond with Avatar, either.

Hana: But then how can we determine who holds their friend in the higher regard? I'm not one to leave a contest unresolved.

Silas: Hm, that's true for me as well.

Hana: Then why don't we do this—we'll show our loyalty through direct competition. Whenever possible, we'll meet here and spar.

Silas: That's a good idea—our weapons will show the passion we feel for our friends. We'll prove our salt. Let's do it!

Hana: Bring it on!

A Support

Hana: You won the match yesterday...and if I carry the five... We're tied, Silas. Why don't we face off today and settle this for good?

Silas: I agree. I was just about to suggest the very same thing.

Hana: You sure sound confident. But can you back that up with your skill? Prepare yourself! Here I come! (weapon clang)

Silas: Krgh... This isn't over! Gyah! (weapon clang)

Hana: Urgh...!

Hana: Phew... Looks like this match goes to me!

Silas: Pfft, I don't know about that; I think I landed enough blows to claim victory.

Hana: Not a chance! That fight was all mine. Bluster all you like, but I can see your weapon shaking from exhaustion! Face it: my loyalty is greater!

Silas: Hrmph... After I first saw you on the battlefield, I thought it'd be easy enough to beat you... You've really improved over such a short time.

Hana: You too. I guess your Nohr background isn't a total waste—you really pushed me to my limits.

Silas: I could say the same for you. I have new respect for the Hoshidans.

Hana: You know, all of this is kind of amusing.

Silas: What do you mean?

Hana: Well, we've both become better fighters because of an argument about our friends.

Silas: That's true.

Hana: And that's not the only thing that's changed. Honestly, I get kind of bored on the days when we aren't able to spar...

Silas: The same thing happens to me.

Hana: Really?

Silas: We were fighting about our best friends, but we ended up becoming best friends. It's one heck of a story.

Hana: That's so true.

Silas: Then...should we stop fighting? I don't want our new friendship to suffer...

Hana: Never! We can continue to compete exactly because we're such good friends. It's not true friendship if you can't battle with each other.

Silas: Ha, that's a good point. OK, stand up. Let's go another round.

Hana: I'm going to put all my feelings for Lady Sakura into this fight!

Silas: And you'll see just how dedicated I am to Avatar!

S Support

Silas: Hana, I'm glad you made it.

Hana: No time for chatter—get your weapon out and let's spar!

Silas: You can put that away. I called you here for something else.

Hana: Huh? What are you talking about? We agreed to keep sparring to keep our friendship alive! Is this some new tactic?

Silas: No! I just... I wanted you to take this. It's a wedding ring.

Hana: Aha! Trying to throw my balance off with jewelry? I don't think so. Thanks but no thanks! Draw your weapon! ... Uh, wait a minute! Did you say wedding ring?

Silas: That's right.

Hana: Whaaaaat?!

Silas: I like you so much, I can hardly stand it. I want to marry you.

Hana: OK.

Silas: That was a quick reply.

Hana: Well, I like you too, so it makes the decision really, really easy!

Silas: You do? Since when?

Hana: Well, I don't know the very exact moment... It was soon after we started sparring.

Silas: I see... I can't tell you how happy that makes me. But I have to say, I think I started liking you before you started liking me.

Hana: What? You're actually challenging me on this?

Silas: In fact, I'm positive that I liked you first.

Hana: I don't believe you. What proof do you have?

Silas: It has nothing to do with proof. It's really more of a gut feeling. I trust my gut.

Hana: That's not fair! Maybe I'm sure I liked you first! What do you say to that?

Silas: I'd say that's pretty unlikely.

Hana: Hrmph... Well, I bet I like you more than you like me, then!

Silas: How can you say that! I'm a hundred percent sure I like you more!

Hana: Pfft!

Silas: You want to fight over it?

Hana: Yeah! I'm not going to back down. You'd better be ready!

Silas: Oh, I am. Prepare yourself! Let our weapons do the talking!
