Ryoma: *phew* That should be enough practice for today. I should still have time to get changed and make it to the meeting on time. Perhaps I can even lend a hand counting supplies...

Setsuna: ...

Ryoma: Yaaahh! Setsuna?! Where did you come from?! Were you hiding? It seemed like you appeared out of thin air!

Setsuna: Oh. No, milord, I wasn't hiding...

Ryoma: Are you sure? You were almost invisible... I bet you'd be an excellent spy—you clearly have some natural talent.

Setsuna: I don't know... I was just walking how I normally walk.

Ryoma: You shouldn't be so humble, Setsuna! The ability to conceal your presence is valuable! I bet it helps you greatly on the battlefield as well, doesn't it?

Setsuna: It really isn't anything special. If you'll excuse me, Lord Ryoma, I have to get somewhere now...

Ryoma: Oh, I just noticed your bow. Off to archery practice, are you? Oh, that reminds me... Your skill with the bow and arrow are superb!

Setsuna: You've seen me shoot?

Ryoma: Of course. I make a point of being aware of all my allies on the battlefield. Also, Hinoka frequently praises your precision and skill. She says that the enemy never seems to know where your shots are coming from.

Setsuna: Um...

Ryoma: What's the matter?

Setsuna: It's nothing, milord. I really must go, though...

Ryoma: That was strange... I know she was about to say something. Did I somehow offend her with my words?

Setsuna: Hello, Lord Ryoma...

Ryoma: Ahhh! Oh, it's you, Setsuna. You always seem to appear out of nowhere.

Setsuna: I apologize...

Ryoma: No need to apologize; it's my fault for not paying as much attention as I should be. Now then, is there something you needed to speak with me about?

Setsuna: Yes, milord. About the other day... You said that you thought I'd be good as a spy, given how I snuck up on you. But what you're mistaking for sneakiness was really just me daydreaming... I suppose since I'm not paying attention, I just become a little unnoticeable.

Ryoma: Ah. That does make sense...

Setsuna: I wanted to tell you that the other day, but you said such nice things about me... Well, I completely forgot about correcting you. Instead, I felt really good and just wanted to run away and enjoy it...

Ryoma: Oh, I see now! I thought I had said something that had insulted you. I'm glad that wasn't the case.

Setsuna: I apologize for the confusion...

Ryoma: No, no. Don't worry about it. I'm sorry that I didn't realize things sooner. However, I would like it if you didn't focus so much on any negative traits you have. You should instead celebrate the positive aspects of yourself!

Setsuna: I don't understand, milord...

Ryoma: Take your daydreaming even though it was not intentional, it still concealed you well. With a little work and training, I'm sure you could turn that into a valuable skill.

Setsuna: I suppose...

Ryoma: Of course, this is just my opinion. You can address your strengths and weaknesses however you like.

Setsuna: You do make a good point, Lord Ryoma. I will keep your advice in mind...

Ryoma: Excellent!

Setsuna: That went well...

Ryoma: Ah, is that Setsuna over there? Hello, Setsuna. Out practicing your archery some more, I see.

Setsuna: Yes, Lord Ryoma... I've been practicing for hours already...

Ryoma: That is some dedication... What the... Are all those arrows in the target yours?! I can't even count how many there are...

Setsuna: Yes, milord. Like I said, I've been working for hours on my shot.

Ryoma: I don't see any misses at all. Did you already collect your missed shots? Or is your aim really that good...

Setsuna: You mentioned appreciating my skill before. I decided to make sure never to disappoint you on the battlefield...

Ryoma: I see. Your efforts are clearly not wasted. I'm sure Hinoka will be pleased with you.

Setsuna: I hope so. It's tough, because I have to practice so much... But at least with archery, I see improvement in my skill.

Ryoma: What do you mean, "at least with archery"?

Setsuna: Well... No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to avoid falling for traps. It took me over a day to even make it to the archery range, for example...

Ryoma: What?! But you're quartered no more than five minutes from here... You managed to get trapped between here and there? Have you tried using the same focus when you walk as you do when you shoot?

Setsuna: That's a good idea...

Ryoma: Don't expect to succeed immediately. Everything takes time to learn. Apparently, even not getting caught in traps...

Setsuna: Thank you for the advice, Lord Ryoma. I'll try my best...

Setsuna: Another good shot...

Ryoma: Hello there, Setsuna. Hard at your archery training, I see.

Setsuna: Yes, Lord Ryoma...

Ryoma: Did you manage to avoid traps on the way here this time?

Setsuna: Not in the least. It actually took two days to get here this time... I planned ahead and brought food, though.

Ryoma: Two days?! Really? That's almost impressive, honestly. Listen, Setsuna, I actually came here to talk to you about something...

Setsuna: Of course... What is it?

Ryoma: After you talked about falling for traps the other day, I found myself worried for you. But...it felt different than a normal worry, and I couldn't quite figure out why.

Setsuna: What do you mean?

Ryoma: *sigh* I realized that I wanted to protect you from all the traps of the world, Setsuna. I want to be with you whenever I can.

Setsuna: I don't think I understand... Are you saying...

Ryoma: I'm saying that you are important to me, Setsuna. I'm saying that I love you.

Setsuna: But... You're the first prince of Hoshido... I'm just a royal retainer. Aren't our social standings just...too different?

Ryoma: That doesn't change how I feel in the least. Unless, of course...you don't feel the same way I do...

Setsuna: Lord Ryoma... I love you, too. I really do. I worked hard to perfect my archery because of your compliments. I'm very happy to hear that you care for me so strongly...

Ryoma: Setsuna, now I feel like I'm the one daydreaming!

Setsuna: I'm so happy, Ryoma. I even just fought off the urge to run away like I did before. I'd rather be here with you...

Ryoma: We'll support each other from now on! I'll do my best to protect you from any traps in your path!

Setsuna: Thank you, Ryoma...
