Subaki: Haaah! Ahaah!
(Subaki leaves)
Avatar: Hmm? You train so vigorously, Subaki.
Subaki: Ah, Lady Avatar. What brings you here today? Were you attempting to learn some of my dynamic combat techniques?
Avatar: No, Subaki, I just so happened to see you training. I didn't mean to interrupt.
Subaki: No need to apologize! Please, feel free to sit down and watch, if you like. My form with weapons is second to none, after all. Perhaps one of my techniques will prove useful to you in the battlefield someday.
Avatar: It's certainly possible. I wish I had your dexterity as a fighter. Every movement you make is so assured.
Subaki: In that case, why not spar with me? There is no better way to learn and improve.
Avatar: Really? Would you mind?
Subaki: Of course not! I would do anything in my power to aid Lady Sakura's sister! Besides, I've mastered every class of weapon. Responding to your moves shouldn't prove overly difficult for me. *grumble*
Avatar: Umm, Subaki? Did you hear something?
Subaki: N-no, not at all! You must be imagining things, Lady Avatar... *gggrrrooowwwlllll*
Avatar: Wait! There it is again! Goodness, what is that sound?
Subaki: Oh my!
Avatar: Subaki... Was that your stomach growling?
Subaki: Of course not. Don't be ridiculous.
Avatar: Subaki, it's OK. You're just hungry! I'm sorry it took me a moment to understand. Why don't we go get a bite to eat?
Subaki: No, that's not it. You don't understand. I was just practicing making my stomach growl to distract my enemy...
Avatar: Are you sure? Your face is beet red.
Subaki: I feel so disgraced...
Avatar: What? Don't be so dramatic. Everyone's tummy growls from time to time. There's no need to be hard on yourself for something so silly.
Subaki: I've always been able to avoid failure in every task. This is an obvious sign that my focus is beginning to slip! Lady Avatar. May we postpone our sparring session? I need to redouble my efforts. Farewell!
(Subaki leaves)
Avatar: He just ran away. Subaki certainly is hard on himself...

Subaki: Haaah! Ahaah!

Avatar: Huh? Is that Subaki training fervently over there?
Subaki: Ah, Lady Avatar. What are you doing over there? Could it be that you came to watch and learn?
Avatar: Good afternoon, Subaki. Have I interrupted your training?
Subaki: No, not at all! Please, watch all you like. My weapon technique is perfect after all. I would be delighted if my techniques can aid you in battle.
Avatar: Oho, It's true that your skills are second to none. I wish I were able to fight like you without wasting a single movement...
Subaki: Oh, in that case, why don't you spar with me?
Avatar: Huh? May I?
Subaki: Yes. Of course! I'd do anything to help Lady Sakura's sister! Besides, I can master any weapon so I will be able to respond to your weapon choice. So, first... *stomach grumbling*
Avatar: Subaki? Did you hear something just now?
Subaki: ! N-n-n-n-no, nothing at all! You must be imagining things Lady Avatar... *louder stomach growl*
Avatar: Ah! There it is again! What is that sound? ...Ah!
Subaki: Oh my!
Avatar: Subaki... Was that your stomach growling?
Subaki: ! Th-that's...
Avatar: Subaki, you were hungry. I'm sorry I didn't realize. Why don't we go eat...
Subaki: No, no, no, no, no, that's not it! I was just practicing making my stomach growl to distract my enemy...
Avatar: What? Really? But your face is bright red.
Subaki: Aaaaaaaaah! This is so perfectly disgraceful...
Avatar: What?! Everyone's stomachs growl now and again. I don't think you need to take it that seriously.
Subaki: No! Before, I would have been able to avoid failures like this perfectly... This is a sign that I've lost my focus! ...Lady Avatar. May we postpone our sparring to a later date? I must go dig a perfect hole to hide in... Farewell!
(Subaki leaves)
Avatar: Ah, he's gone. I don't think it's anything he need beat himself up about... Is Subaki all right?

Avatar: Subaki! Are you there, Subaki?
Subaki: *munch* Ah, Lady Avatar! Good afternoon! What's your hurry? *chomp*
Avatar: Ahhh, so I see the rumors were true!
Subaki: *om nom nom* What rumors are you referring to exactly?
Avatar: Everyone has been talking about you eating so much! I heard that you've been constantly munching on something wherever you go. So I got a little worried and wanted to come and find you. No offense, but it really seems like you can't stop shoving food in your mouth.
Subaki: Oh, don't be ridiculous. There's no need to trouble yourself over me.
Avatar: But there is! You're my comrade. We need to look out for one another. Does this have anything to do with my overhearing your stomach growling?
Subaki: Wh-what do you mean...?
Avatar: OK, so clearly it does.
Subaki: Listen, this is the only way to make sure that my stomach never growls again. If I'm always eating, I'll never be hungry.
Avatar: Subaki, you can't keep eating like that! It's not healthy. Besides, it will just make you get bigger and bigger. Then you won't be able to train anymore. I know you wouldn't want that to happen.
Subaki: Oh, don't you worry about me. I've already calculated how much food I need to stay in fighting shape.
Avatar: Right... But still, I'm concerned.
Subaki: I never meant to alarm anyone. Listen, if it really bothers you, I'll give up on my new fitness regimen.
Avatar: Good. Trust me, it's for the best.
Subaki: But what do I do now? I'd be horrified if someone ever heard my stomach growl again.
Avatar: Why are you so worried about what other people think of you? No one would ever judge you for something so trivial anyway.
Subaki: I could never talk about that with you, Lady Avatar. Please, excuse me...
(Subaki leaves)
Avatar: There he goes again... I'd probably better follow him to make sure he doesn't get any other crazy ideas.

Avatar: Greetings, Subaki.
Subaki: What is it, Lady Avatar?
Avatar: I figured that you might still be thinking of ways to avoid getting hungry.
Subaki: Yes, I am. The problem is, I'm having a difficult time thinking of another solution.
Avatar: I still think you should relax. You don't need to be upset about your tummy making noises.
Subaki: I appreciate your opinion. But I simply cannot let that happen again.
Avatar: Hmm... Fine. Then at least let me help you figure out a new strategy!
Subaki: Huh? What do you mean?
Avatar: If you can't stop worrying about this issue, I'd love to help you figure out a solution. There's no reason to torture yourself by overthinking this.
Subaki: I couldn't possibly ask that of you!
Avatar: I was with you when this all started. I should help you see this problem through to the end.
Subaki: Lady Avatar... Fine. But only because you're so insistent. I-I've never had someone behave like that toward me before.
Avatar: What do you mean?
Subaki: You may not know this about me, but I can't stand to fail in front of people. My goal in life is to achieve perfection in every possible way. Though it's wildly painful to admit, even I sometimes make a mistake. But I never know what to do when that occurs.
Avatar: Really?
Subaki: Yes. But like I said, this very, very rarely happens to me.
Avatar: I know that it's hard to be vulnerable around other people. But I promise, I'm not going to make fun of you. I just want to help.
Subaki: I'm no good at getting help when I need it. That's the problem with seeking perfection. You always feel like you have to do everything alone. I have to admit that it feels good to get all of this off my chest.
Avatar: Huh. So that's what this has all been about. You just needed a counselor.
Subaki: Maybe. So, Lady Avatar... Now that you understand me so well, I'm going to count on you for advice.
Avatar: That's fine, Subaki.
Subaki: OK! Now that we're agreed, let's start brainstorming! I gotta figure out how to beat my appetite. My newest idea was to eat foods that make you feel really, really full. I brought a bag of snacks, actually. Let me go get them!
(Subaki leaves)
Avatar: Wait up, Subaki! Well, at least he's not so depressed now.

Subaki: Pardon me, Lady Avatar. If you don't mind, may I have a moment?
Avatar: Greetings, Subaki. Certainly. Did you need advice on something? I thought we had finally resolved the issue with your stomach growling.
Subaki: Yes, indeed. Thank you for your help with that, by the way.
Avatar: Oh, there's no need to thank me. You're the one who thought to quiet the sound by flexing your abs.
Subaki: Haha... Well, I'll admit that it was a moment of brilliance on my part.
Avatar: It was inspired. Anyway, what did you want to talk to me about?
Subaki: I need some advice. This is a problem I simply can't solve by myself.
Avatar: Oh? Did something bad happen? How can I help you?
Subaki: To be honest, I think you're the only person who can solve this issue.
Avatar: Why just me?
Subaki: Well, the truth is... Lady Avatar, I have very strong feelings for you.
Avatar: Wh-what?!
Subaki: I'm not surprised at your shock. Not to be arrogant, but I hid my emotions perfectly. But now, there is no way for me to hide them. I needed to tell you.
Avatar: I don't know what to say...
Subaki: I've often been admired for my tireless pursuit of perfection. But you were the first person to ever really try and know me. With you, I can actually show my whole self. Not just the parts that are perfect. It makes me feel stronger, not having to hide my weaknesses.
Avatar: I have to admit something... I like you too.
Subaki: R-really?! You mean it?
Avatar: Yes. I truly believe we can make each other stronger by being together.
Subaki: Lady Avatar... Thank you! I've never felt so lucky in all my life!
Avatar: Hehe. Me neither.
(Confession Scene)
Subaki: Darling, you're the very picture of perfection. And we're so perfect together...
