Hana
All right...this looks like a good spot. Nobody will miss this particular tree. Come on, Hana... Gather your energy, and... HYAAAH!

Azama
Aieee!

Hana
What was that? Trees shouldn't scream!

Azama
Whew! That was close. Now, I wonder why that tree just fell down all by itself...

Hana
Azama! What are you doing out here? Are you OK? That tree didn't hit you when it fell, did it?

Azama
No, but if it had been any closer, you could have carried me back to camp in a satchel! What are you doing cutting down trees, anyway? Thinking of a career change?

Hana
Heh. No, of course not. I'm just training. You know how people usually spar with wooden swords? Well...sometimes that just doesn't cut it. No pun intended. Anyway, sometimes I come way out here to train with a real blade.

Azama
I see. You need the feel of deadly steel in your hands from time to time.

Hana
Ha! Well, yeah, I suppose. But that's kind of a dramatic way to put it. I just think you should practice with the weapon you're going to use in battle.

Azama
Of course. Anyway, I'm very impressed that you could cut through a tree like that. You could have literally killed me. Oh ho!

Hana
Right... I said I was sorry, didn't I?

Hana
At last...another chance to get some serious training in! I don't see Azama or anyone else around, but just to be safe... I'll work on a different technique today. Let's see how fast I can chop up all these small branches! Yayayayayayaya!

Azama
OW! Ow ow ow ow ow ow!

Hana
Eeek! Please tell me that's not Azama again...

Azama
So many little pieces of wood embedded in my face...

Hana
Oh no! I'm sorry, Azama!

Azama
I could dodge one large tree, no problem. But this kind of shrapnel... Ah, Miss Hana. I should have known you were behind this surprise attack.

Hana
Ugh... I'm so sorry. Here, let me tend to your wounds...

Azama
No, I'm fine. But have you considered NOT training right next to me when I'm meditating?

Hana
I swear I looked around for you! This is really weird...

Azama
I don't know. One time is just unlucky. Two times? Something more is going on.

Hana
What are you saying? Why would I ever want to harass you like that?

Azama
Oh, please. We both know that I'm not exactly the most popular fellow in camp. So it's not that far fetched that someone could be out to get me.

Hana
So, what shall we do about this?

Azama
I have an idea. Simply invite me along each time you train out here.

Hana
But...that seems like it would be placing you CLOSER to the danger...

Azama
Well, I'd rather be close to the danger but know it's coming. These surprise attacks are playing havoc with my chanting schedule.

Hana
Very well. I'll be sure to call you the next time I come out here to train.

Azama
I look forward to it.

Hana
OK, focus, Hana... This tree is going down!

Azama
Hold it!

Hana
Oh! Azama. What's the matter? You're standing behind me, so you're safe!

Azama
What do you mean, "What's the matter?" You didn't tell me you were coming here today! You were supposed to invite me!

Hana
AHH! I forgot. I'm so sorry. Heh.

Azama
Is that all you have to say for yourself? I happen to know that you've been out here three times without alerting me!

Hana
Wha... How did you know that?

Azama
Oh, because I've been here EVERY SINGLE TIME. The first time, you felled a tree so large that the impact made me fall on my face. The second time, you startled some bees that proceeded to attack me. And the last time was the worst of all... You tossed your scabbard carelessly and struck me in the eye! After I recovered, I picked it up. Here, take it!

Hana
Oh... Thanks... I was looking everywhere for this...

Azama
Well, I'm happy to be of service!

Hana
There's just one thing I don't understand, Azama. Why didn't you say something any of those times?

Azama
Frankly, I was too flabbergasted to say anything. But now you know, so I expect that invitations will be forthcoming!

Hana
Yes, of course. I'm so sorry. Now, if you don't mind...I do actually want to get a workout in.

(screen fades out and in)

Azama
Well, that was nice. I am unscathed.

Hana
Huh. What do you know? I guess your plan actually worked. Maybe it's just karma. You were due for a few bumps and bruises. You know...for insulting people all the time.

Azama
Karma? Pfft. Like I believe in karma. All I know is that I will definitely be coming with you the next time you work out.

Hana
You got it.

Hana
Hey, Azama... Do you have a minute?

Azama
What is it? Thinking of a training session? Good! It's been a while since I went hiking.

Hana
Yes, but there's something else, too.

Azama
Oh? Have I worn out my welcome on our little treks already? I've been on my best behavior, in case you couldn't tell.

Hana
Actually...I was hoping that you could accompany me ALL the time.

Azama
Yes, of course. That's the plan, isn't it? Wait...you mean all the time as in ALL THE TIME? Not just when you're working out?

Hana
That's...that's right. I want us to be together.

Azama
Where is this coming from? Do you have some sort of head injury or something? You realize you're talking to me— Azama—right?

Hana
Heehee! Don't sell yourself short. I love that you're willing to come up here with me anytime I want. And I think your confidence is rubbing off on me. When I'm with you, I feel strong of heart and brave. So, I just kinda started thinking...maybe it could be like that all the time.

Azama
I see... Well, I have been thinking that it was a sign that we kept meeting here. I don't believe in many of the things that most monks do... but I do believe in some form of destiny. Perhaps this is it.

Hana
So that means...

Azama
Yes. Let's be together. It's our fate.

Hana
Yay! Now, put on this suit of armor.

Azama
What? Why?

Hana
Because I want to go work out, silly. I can't have you getting crushed by a tree now that we're engaged!
