Takumi: Huh...only 90 out of 100 bull's-eyes today. Pathetic. Guess I'd better rerack. I'm not leaving here until I hit 96 or more.

Xander: Prince Takumi! What are you still doing out here? It's getting dark! Have you been at this all day? Surely you require a break...

Takumi: No. Not until I'm satisfied with.my performance. ...Why do you care, anyway?

Xander: Because training too hard will actually worsen your skills. And we need you.

Takumi: Yeah, well, that's easy for you to say. You've already mastered your weapon. Me? I don't have the luxury of rest...

Xander: Haha! The luxury of rest! Prince Takumi, listen well… When I was around your age, I trained much like you do. To excess.

Takumi: ...Is that so?

Xander: Oh, yes. I often trained until I could no longer hold a sword. I was proud of my efforts, until I realized I was in fact setting myself back. I spent almost as much time bedridden from exhaustion as I did actual training.

Takumi: I still have a hard time seeing you fail at anything...

Xander: That was not my only folly! Another time I wandered off to fight Faceless alone. In the dark forests of Nohr, I lost sight of the trail back home... I wandered lost for days. When finally I .returned, I was parched and near death.

Takumi: How could you have done something so reckless?

Xander: The same reason you're out here shooting arrows in the dark. Pride... I was impatient. I thought I could become powerful quickly. ...But there is no shortcut. If you train too hard, you will get hurt. I never realized before how much you remind me of myself.

Takumi: Xander...I can tell that you speak the truth. But I simply can't wait!

Xander: Yes. You're as stubborn as I was, too. Well, I have an idea... Prince Takumi, allow me to join you in your training.

Takumi: ...Are you serious?

Xander: If you're going to be reckless, you may.as well have some supervision. As someone who has been where you are now, I can offer guidance. And I can pull you back just when you're about to go over the limit.

Takumi: Well, I certainly won't turn down training from a skilled warrior!

Xander: Excellent. We can begin once you've taken a short break. The last thing I want to see is your arm in a sling from too much training.

Takumi: Thank you, Xander. Just don't get mad when I upstage you in battle!

Xander: Heh... I'll worry about that when it happens.

Takumi: All right! I'll see you back here tomorrow at dawn! You won't regret this, Xander! Thanks again!
