Hinata: Ha! Hai-ya!

Rinkah: Hrm.

Hinata: Oh, Rinkah, did you need something?

Rinkah: No, I'm all right.

Hinata: But...you were watching me, weren't you?

Rinkah: Not you, no. I was examining your fighting style. The way you wield your katana...

Hinata: Oh yeah; it's pretty amazing, isn't it?

Rinkah: What's amazing is how you're still alive if that's your actual fighting style.

Hinata: Is that...a compliment? I can't be sure.

Rinkah: You may take it however you'd like.

Hinata: Awesome! Then thank you! It's always great to hear nice things.

Rinkah: Nothing really brings you down, huh...?

Hinata: Not if I can help it. Hey, got time to go a few rounds?

Rinkah: Excuse me?

Hinata: You're curious about my fighting style, yeah? I'd be happy to cross blades with you and show you how it works.

Rinkah: I'd...rather not involve myself with you any more than is needed.

Hinata: Pfft, and here I thought I'd found a good sparring partner.

Rinkah: Hrm. In that case, I accept your challenge!

Hinata: Wait, what?! I don't understand... You Flame Tribe people are a confusing bunch... But, if you really do accept, then I am ready for you anytime!

Rinkah: How about now? The sooner I beat you to a pulp, the sooner I can be on my way.

Hinata: Hah, let's find out if you're all talk. Here I come!

Rinkah: Bring it on!

Hinata: Phew... You're pretty quick, Rinkah. Training with you is exhausting. I can tell you put some serious effort into your training.

Rinkah: I could feel the power behind your blows, as well. It was...unexpected. I'm certain your blows would have no trouble shattering the strongest armor.

Hinata: Is that why you were careful to parry them, rather than meet them head-on? Speaking of which, did you memorize my moves so you could counter them?

Rinkah: Don't say it like that. I was just intrigued by your style. If I picked up a few tricks... All I'll say is, your style is rare to me, so I studied you as you practiced.

Hinata: Rare? I don't think so. I know several fighters who fight the same way.

Rinkah: It may be common within Hoshido, but I've never seen it used in the Flame Tribe.

Hinata: Oh, I see what you mean.

Rinkah: I've witnessed a lot of different styles, but yours makes great use of follow-up moves. If I could meld it with my own, I could definitely become stronger...

Hinata: That...was a compliment, right?

Rinkah: Again, take it however you like.

Hinata: Awesome! Anyway, you'd better stick with me if you want to learn more!

Rinkah: What? No, you're sticking with me! Let's go again. Get ready!

Hinata: Damn it. You managed to parry or evade all of my attacks today.

Rinkah: Of course; it's only natural to get used to someone you are fighting time and again.

Hinata: True... Also, none of your counterattacks landed, so that means... We haven't determined the better fighter!

Rinkah: You're right. Clearly I still haven't learned all there is to learn from you. Only your strong defense can explain me not being able to hit you.

Hinata: I think that we've come as far as we can, sparring against one another with swords. Next time, let's spar with your best weapon, OK?

Rinkah: Are you serious?

Hinata: Of course! You're best with a club, right? Our next battle will be with clubs!

Rinkah: If you insist... But you aren't allowed to blame the weapon choice when you lose.

Hinata: Hah, I'd never!

Rinkah: And I won't be responsible if you get hurt.

Hinata: I'm not worried about that. Our sparring matches are actually a ton of fun!

Rinkah: What? You're having fun?

Hinata: Of course. There's a limit to how strong I can get just training alone. Practicing with you is great experience, so I'm really enjoying this chance to learn. I feel like I can get a whole lot stronger by doing this!

Rinkah: Interesting... I think we are both on the same page, actually. We're driving one another to grow.

Hinata: Yeah! So don't you dare hold back!

Rinkah: Same to you!

Hinata: Hello, Rinkah. I wanted to ask you something, if you've got a moment...

Rinkah: Oh, Hinata. You're acting very formal today. What do you need? I'm ready for another match if you are!

Hinata: Oh, n-no. That's not why I'm here. I actually wanted to ask... Can I go with you next time you go to the Flame Tribe?

Rinkah: What are you talking about? You don't seriously want to challenge the Flame Tribe to sparring matches, do you?

Hinata: No, no! That's not it at all! The last thing I want to talk about today is sparring. I wanted to visit so I could introduce myself to them is all.

Rinkah: Why would you want to introduce yourself?

Hinata: It seems only right that I meet the people who raised the woman I care for...

Rinkah: Hang on, what? What are you trying to say?

Hinata: I'm saying that, as we've practiced and been around each other... I've grown to like you. A lot. You're strong and cool and amazing. Rinkah... Do you feel the same about me? Do you want to be with me?

Rinkah: I... *sigh* I can't believe you asked if you could visit my village before telling me how you feel.

Hinata: I just got the order of things mixed up! It doesn't change how I feel! But I need to know—do you feel the same way about me?

Rinkah: Yes, Hinata. Of course. Ever since I saw that burning drive in your eyes...

Hinata: Hah, I knew it! I could feel the way you were looking at me!

Rinkah: What?! I wasn't looking at you in any special way.

Hinata: Nah, I could feel it. You definitely were. I don't want you to stop, though. Keep looking at me like that forever!

Rinkah: Hrmph. I suppose I can't say no to that...

Hinata: Excellent! I promise to make you happy!
