Kana(M): Hey, Papa. Can I talk to you about something?
Subaki: Hey, Kana. What's eating you?
Kana(M): It's Mama. I feel like she's always treating me like a child.
Subaki: Well, that's only natural, right? You are her son, after all. And last I checked, you were still pretty young.
Kana(M): I know, I know. I just mean I'm not as young as I used to be. I want to help out and stuff. But whenever I try, she just tells me to go play with my friends instead.
Subaki: I see. You want some responsibilities of your own, huh?
Kana(M): Yeah! I want to show her that she can count on me. Can you think of any special things I could do for her?
Subaki: Well, usually I try to figure out what the perfect gift for her would be. The research period can take a few months, but it's always worth it in the end. Then the cycle begins all over again, and I'm back hunting for the next perfect gift.
Kana(M): Oh...
Subaki: Hm? You don't seem satisfied with my answer.
Kana(M): Well, if you're always getting her the perfect gift, how can I get one for her? Maybe there's another way to make her happy...
Subaki: Another way...?
Kana(M): Oh, I know! Let's have a contest, Papa!
Subaki: A contest?
Kana(M): Yeah! We'll have a contest to see which of us can make Mama happier! Between the two of us, I'm sure we can come up with all sorts of things. Whoever Mama thanks the most wins!
Subaki: A little friendly father-son competition, hm? Very well. I accept your challenge!
Kana(M): Really? Yay!
Subaki: But remember, I'm Avatar's husband. I know her better than anyone else! And don't think I'm gonna go easy on you!
Kana(M): That's OK with me, Papa. I'm gonna beat you fair and square!
Subaki: Heh. You're on! May the best man win!

Kana(M): Hey, Papa! I've been making a ton of progress on our contest! How about you?
Subaki: Well, I haven't done anything too special yet, but I've gotten a lot of thanks already. I've got a tally riiiight...here! Take a look.
Kana(M): WOW! That's a lot! And you got all of these already?
Subaki: Yeah, I was surprised too. I guess I do more for your mother than I'd thought. Guess I'm a pretty good husband after all, huh? Heh.
Kana(M): Hmph. Well, I'm still not gonna lose! Here, see! I recorded all mine too! And the total is...um...
Subaki: H-how did you— You've got the same number as me!
Kana(M): I do? I do! Haha! Kana's gonna beat you big-time, Papa!
Subaki: Grrr. And what, exactly, have you been doing to earn all of this maternal gratitude?
Kana(M): Mostly I've been trying to help out around camp. I spend each morning making arrows for the fletchers. Then, at lunch, I slice the bear meat and hand out food to the soldiers. Oh, and at night I make sure the mounts are all fed and outfitted for the next day. Plus I do a bunch of other little things whenever I have the time!
Subaki: That's...a lot of work. I'm impressed. You really have been growing up, haven't you?
Kana(M): Huh?
Subaki: Oh, just a thought. It wasn't so long ago you were still in your swaddling clothes. Now, all of a sudden, you're making real, important contributions to the army. Perhaps I've been treating you like too much of a child as well.
Kana(M): Heehee. Yeah, I've been working real hard. Soon there'll be nothing I can't do!
Subaki: I believe it. And I bet your mother is very proud of you for all your hard work.
Kana(M): I hope so. And I'm gonna work even harder for her tomorrow! I won't let this end in a draw, Papa!
Subaki: Heh. I guess I can't afford to be careless... This might be harder than I'd thought.

Kana(M): *grumble*
Subaki: Hey, Kana.
Kana(M): Hi, Papa...
Subaki: Hm? What's the matter? I thought you'd still be exulting over your little victory the other day. Or has besting your old man lost its charm already?
Kana(M): Oh, no. I'm still happy about that, I guess. It's just that I was trying to do things for Mama earlier, and she made me stop. She said I should be spending more time playing around with my friends. She still thinks I'm just a kid. Haven't I shown her I'm old enough to help out around camp?
Subaki: Ah, so that's it. I wouldn't worry. It's not you. You're doing good work, I promise.
Kana(M): Then why doesn't she want me to help with anything?
Subaki: I think your mother knows full well you're capable of handling the work. But seeing you acting so grown up makes her feel sad.
Kana(M): Huh? Why?
Subaki: Well, she doesn't want to lose her baby boy. She is very, very proud that you're growing up and working so hard. But at the same time, she's worried it means you won't need her anymore. It's a little contradictory, but it's true. Parents can be funny like that.
Kana(M): So...what should I do?
Subaki: I'd say to keep doing things around camp, but don't work yourself too hard. Take breaks to see your friends, play games, go on adventures. You know. And also try to spend some quality time with your mother every now and then. Think you can handle that?
Kana(M): But...
Subaki: Hm? Do you not want to spend time with your mother?
Kana(M): No, that's not it! It's just... I feel that stuff is for babies.
Subaki: No, Kana, it's not for babies. It's for children. And your mother wants you to stay a child for just a little while longer. We both do.
Kana(M): Papa...
Subaki: Kana, we know that you're growing and that you want more responsibilities. And you're going to be a fine young man someday. Everyone knows it. But for now...relax. Enjoy yourself. At least a little bit, here and there.
Kana(M): OK. Thanks, Papa. I'll think real hard about everything you've said.
Subaki: Good. You know... I think it would be good if you spent the night in with your mother. I'll go talk to her about it now.
Kana(M): Wait! What about you?
Subaki: Me? No, I've got to—
Kana(M): But, Papa! Don't you need a break sometimes too? And don't you want Mama and me to be happy?
Subaki: W-well, when you put it that way... All right, all right. I'll stay in with you two.
Kana(M): Yaaay!
Subaki: Heh. A night in with the family, huh? Maybe I could get used to this after all...
