Kana(M): Hey, Papa. Can I talk to you about something?

Ryoma: Sure, Kana. What is it?

Kana(M): It's Mama... I feel like she's always treating me like a child.

Ryoma: Well, that's only natural. You're her son, after all. And you ARE still quite young.

Kana(M): I know, I know. I just mean I'm not as much of a child as I used to be. I want to help out with things. But whenever I try, she just tells me to go play with my friends instead.

Ryoma: Ah, I see. You want some responsibilities of your own.

Kana(M): Yeah! I want to show her she can rely on me. I wonder if there's anything I could do for her...

Ryoma: Let me think... In my case, I try to help her with her training, whenever we have the chance.

Kana(M): And that makes her happy?

Ryoma: Yeah, we both enjoy breaking a sweat together.

Kana(M): Oh...

Ryoma: Eh? You seem unsatisfied.

Kana(M): Yeah...I don't think I could really help Mama with her training very much. And besides, that's a special Papa-Mama thing. I don't want to be a copycat. Oh, I know! Let's make it a contest, Papa!

Ryoma: A contest? What kind of 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!

Ryoma: A little father-son competition, hm? Interesting. Very well, then. I accept your challenge.

Kana(M): Really? Yay!

Ryoma: But remember: I am your mother's husband. I know her better than anyone else. And I don't intend to go easy on you. Besting me will be no mean feat.

Kana(M): That's fine by me, Papa. I'm gonna beat you fair and square!

Ryoma: Heh. Then may the best man win!

Kana(M): Hey, Papa! I've been making a ton of progress on our contest! How about you?

Ryoma: Well, I haven't done anything too special yet, but she's thanked me many times. Let's see... I've got a tally right here.

Kana(M): WOW! That's so many! And you got all these already?

Ryoma: I was as surprised as you are. I guess I do more for your mother than I thought.

Kana(M): Hmph... Well, I'm still not going to lose! Here, see! I recorded all mine too! And the total is...um...

Ryoma: Ghhk! You have the same number as me!

Kana(M): I do? I do! Haha! Kana's gonna beat you big-time, Papa! I don't have to work like you, so I've been spending all day doing things for her!

Ryoma: So that was your secret. And what kind of things have you been doing for her?

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!

Ryoma: Wow. That's quite a lot of work for someone your age. I'm impressed. You really have been growing up, haven't you?

Kana(M): Huh?

Ryoma: Oh, just a thought. It wasn't so long ago you were still in swaddling clothes. Now, all of a sudden, you're making real, important contributions to the army. Maybe 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!

Ryoma: I believe it. And I bet your mother has been very proud of all your hard work.

Kana(M): I hope so! And I'm gonna make her even prouder tomorrow!

Ryoma: Hrm...I may have to start taking this competition a bit more seriously. You're turning out to be quite the worthy opponent.

Kana(M): *grumble*

Ryoma: Hello, Kana.

Kana(M): Hi, Papa...

Ryoma: What's the matter? I expected you to still be exulting after your little victory the other day. Or has besting your father already lost its charm?

Kana(M): Oh, no. I'm still happy about that, I guess. It's just that I was trying to do things for Mama again earlier, and she made me stop. She said I should be spending more time playing around with my friends again. She still thinks I'm just a kid. Haven't I shown her I'm old enough to help out around camp?

Ryoma: I see, 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?

Ryoma: I think your mother knows full well you're capable of handling these things. But seeing you acting so grown up makes her feel sad.

Kana(M): Huh? Why?

Ryoma: Well, she doesn't want to lose her baby boy. She's 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 silly, but it's true. Parents can be funny like that.

Kana(M): So...what should I do?

Ryoma: I'd say to keep helping out around camp, but don't work yourself so hard. Take breaks to see your friends, play games, go on adventures. You know. And try to spend some quality time with your mother every now and then. Think you can handle that?

Kana(M): But...

Ryoma: What's wrong? Do you not want to spend time with your mother?

Kana(M): No, that's not it! It's just...I feel like that stuff is for babies.

Ryoma: 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...

Ryoma: Kana, we know that you're growing and that you want more responsibilities. And we know that you're going to be a fine young man someday. But for now...relax. Don't try to grow up so quickly.

Kana(M): OK. Thanks, Papa. I'll think real hard about everything you said.

Ryoma: Good. You know... I think it would be good if you spent the night in with your mother. I will go talk to her about it.

Kana(M): Wait! What about you?

Ryoma: Me? No, I've got too much wor—

Kana(M): But, Papa! I thought you wanted me to enjoy my childhood. It wouldn't be much of a childhood without a papa...

Ryoma: Wh-when you put it like that... All right, all right, fine. Now, go tell your mother.

Kana(M): Yaaaay!

(Kana(M) leaves)

Ryoma: *sigh* A future king who can't even refuse a request from his own son... But...I suppose a good king must always be at the service of his subjects.
