Subaki: Greetings, Lady Hinoka.

Hinoka: Subaki. How are you today?

Subaki: I'm doing perfectly well, as always.

Hinoka: I'm glad to hear it. It's been quite some time since last we spoke. We used to talk regularly back when I was in training as a pegasus knight.

Subaki: Of course, I remember.

Hinoka: I suppose it would be more accurate to say that you were mostly just teaching me.

Subaki: Oh, I didn't teach you that much. I simply showed you the simplest way to bond with a pegasus.

Hinoka: Back then, I had a well of hate for every aspect of Nohr. I believe the pegasi could feel that anger burning within me. But you showed me how to let go. To calm my burdened spirit.

Subaki: Haha, is that right? I feel like you may be giving me more credit than I deserve.

Hinoka: No, it's true... You told me that it wasn't about trying to control the pegasus. It was about bonding with the creature. That totally altered my perspective. You also helped open my eyes to the intricate beauty of nature. The rustle of leaves and sounds of chirping birds makes me think of you, even still.

Subaki: Is that right? Gods, it seems like so long ago now.

Hinoka: I recall those days fondly.

Subaki: As do I, Lady Hinoka.

Subaki: Oh, Lady Hinoka. We keep bumping into each other lately.

Hinoka: Isn't that lucky? Our recent conversation made me recollect on my past as an apprentice.

Subaki: Do you remember the night of the storm?

Hinoka: I wish I could forget...

Subaki: It was a very trying night, to say the least. Lady Sakura had gone missing in the forest. You and I went out to search for her together.

Hinoka: I was angry that we couldn't find her, so I sent out more search parties. But you wanted to minimize our losses. We... We fought that night. I lost my temper. All I could think of was her safety. I caused a lot of trouble.

Subaki: It couldn't have been helped. After all, you were utterly exhausted, Lady Hinoka. You couldn't help but try to seek her out yourself. But the storm was raging to the point that the pegasi simply couldn't fly.

Hinoka: But you found me. And you charged into the forest on foot and rescued Sakura.

Subaki: I just had to concentrate and think where she would have taken shelter. It's lucky that no one was injured that night. Or worse.

Hinoka: We sisters certainly have caused you our fair share of trouble, haven't we? I'm glad that we had a moment to speak about it. I'll never forget... You've always been dependable, Subaki. I hope you know I appreciate that.

Subaki: Of course. You can always depend on me.

Hinoka: I watched you flying pegasi this afternoon, Subaki. Tell me... Are you helping to train this new class of recruits?

Subaki: That's right. Many Hoshidan recruits are hoping to become pegasus knights.

Hinoka: Pegasus knights... The valiant warriors who soar through the skies. Those brave souls are the backbone of the Hoshidan army.

Subaki: Very true. Many of them actually look up to you, Lady Hinoka.

Hinoka: Really?!

Subaki: It's true. Mere moments ago, I heard one of the troops speaking about you. They admired your graceful fighting style and close relationship with your pegasus. I'm sure none of this comes as much of a surprise to you. I think you're remarkable too.

Hinoka: That's kind of you to say. The new recruits greatly admire you as well, Subaki.

Subaki: Is that right?

Hinoka: Your demeanor and loyalty are the stuff of legend. In their heart, I believe every Hoshidan warrior truly wants to be just like you.

Subaki: Oh, you're just trying to flatter me, haha.

Hinoka: It's true. We've made our way through a great many hardships together. So much time has passed, and now the troops look up to us. It's almost embarrassing.

Subaki: But as representatives of the recruits...no, the whole kingdom of Hoshido... we must do what we can to live up to their hopes and expectations.

Hinoka: You're absolutely right. Maybe someday, one of these young recruits will lead the next generation... It's an extraordinary responsibility.

Subaki: For the sake of our culture's future, we must be excellent leaders.

Subaki: Hello, Lady Hinoka. May I speak to you for a moment?

Hinoka: Of course. What is it, Subaki?

Subaki: Well, honestly...I wanted your advice on something.

Hinoka: You need advice? How unlike you. Please, ask me anything you like. I'm happy to help however I can.

Subaki: I appreciate it. So the thing is...I have feelings for someone.

Hinoka: What?! YOU need romantic advice?!

Subaki: I-I'm sorry, is that inappropriate?

Hinoka: No, no, of course not. I'm just a bit ignorant in the ways of love. Surely there must be someone more knowledgeable who can help you.

Subaki: You've never known love, Lady Hinoka?

Hinoka: No, I can't say that I have.

Subaki: You've never had a boyfriend? Or a fiancé?

Hinoka: N-no, never. Oh, Subaki, why are you making me go on about my lonely life!

Subaki: You don't have to be lonely...

Hinoka: What do you mean?

Subaki: I must admit, it makes me happy to learn that you don't have a boyfriend. I apologize if this is too forward... But would you ever consider seeing me?

Hinoka: Subaki!

Subaki: I'm sorry. But I must admit that I have feelings for you, Lady Hinoka. Do you recall when we talked about the future? About how those who look up to us will eventually be leaders. I realized that nothing would make me happier than leading together. I hate to think of someone else standing by your side. I know that I'm just a soldier. But know that my feelings are true.

Hinoka: Subaki, it's fine. The truth is, I like you too.

Subaki: R-really? Are you sure?

Hinoka: Considering that you're Sakura's retainer, I didn't want to complicate things. But it would seem that my caution was unnecessary. I wish to spend my days by your side.

Subaki: Nothing would make me happier!

Hinoka: Together, we can provide encouragement and hope to all of Hoshido. Take my hand, Subaki.

Subaki: With pleasure, Lady Hinoka!
