Laslow: Ah! If it isn't the dashing Lord Avatar. Did you need something?

Avatar: Huh?

Laslow: Oh. Were you not staring at me just now? I could have sworn you were.

Avatar: No, I was just walking by.

Laslow: Are you sure? How peculiar. I could have sworn I felt someone staring at me.

Avatar: Be that as it may, it wasn't me.

Laslow: Perhaps I was mistaken. My apologies, milord. Anyways! Since we're both here, perhaps milord would like to join me for a bite?

Avatar: Um, sure. I guess I have time.

Laslow: You do?! That's wonderful news! With you there, the fair lasses in town are far less likely to flee from my advances!

Avatar: On second thought, I think I'm busy. I have to do...not that.

Laslow: Ah. There you are. My dear old friend Rejection. How are you, old boy? I'm terrible as ever, thanks. Oh? No, I knew you'd be back—

Avatar: *ahem* Now, if you don't mind, I'll be on my way.

Laslow: Hey! Not so fast! Life is full of twists and turns and unexpected happenings! We should approach each day as if it were our last—as for all we know, it will be! Just think, tomorrow I could be spirited away—or worse! What if you never have an opportunity to see me again? Would you not give anything to then apologize for how you treated me?

Avatar: For not helping you harass those poor townswomen all day? No.

Laslow: Fine, fine. I will relent...for now! 'Til our paths cross again, milord!

(Laslow leaves)

Avatar: Phew. He's quite the character, isn't he?

Laslow: Lord Avatar! We meet again!

Avatar: Hello, Laslow.

Laslow: What are the odds we would meet like this again? Unless...perhaps it's fate?

Avatar: Must you do this every time? We see each other every day.

Laslow: Hmm. I suppose you've a point. But I prefer to treat each meeting as if it were special. Because it is! We will never meet precisely the same way at the same time again. I think we should treasure every moment of our lives as much as most do gems.

Avatar: I see. Quite the romantic, aren't you?

Laslow: But of course! And in this spirit of gratitude, I have acquired a gift for you.

Avatar: Oh? What is it?

Laslow: It's a special salve with unique restorative powers.

Avatar: Really? Wow! Thank you! It looks expensive though. Are you sure I can have it?

Laslow: Of course! I only ask you remember this fateful crossing whenever you use it.

Avatar: I will. You know, there really is something beautiful about your point of view. Maybe I should try harder to treasure every moment.

Laslow: I'm delighted to hear you're coming around! After all, no one knows where their friends may disappear to next. Life is more fragile than most of us ever imagine... One moment, a friend is standing beside you, smiling. The next, they're gone. And you realize that you will never see them again.

Avatar: Laslow?

Laslow: Hm? Oh! Haha. Silly me. My apologies, milord. All this is just to say you never know—you know? It's as true for me as for anyone else. I won't always be around, after all.

Avatar: Huh? Are you planning on going somewhere?

Laslow: Maybe. Maybe not. For the moment, however, I am thinking of visiting some of the fine shops in town. Would you care to join me, Lord Avatar?

Avatar: I suppose I have— Oh. I see what you're doing. You just want me to help you hit on women, don't you? I think I'll pass. Thanks.

Laslow: You wound me, milord. I assure you, I had only the most innocent intentions! But, in all seriousness, we should always remember that we are soldiers. At war. There's no guarantee that we will meet again with smiles on our faces.

Avatar: That's...true.

Laslow: So, won't you please reconsider? I value our time together.

Avatar: Laslow...

Laslow: Yes?

Avatar: How many people have you used these same lines on today?

Laslow: You would be the eighth, milord.

Avatar: I'm sure you'll have a fine trip into town alone.

Laslow: Ah...and just like that, history repeats itself. Oh well... Then I only pray we shall meet again! Until next time, milord.

Avatar: Haha. Farewell then, Laslow.

Laslow: Lord Avatar, you grace me with your presence once again.

Avatar: Hello, Laslow.

Laslow: Do you think you could find it in your heart to join me for a meal now?

Avatar: Yes, I believe I can.

Laslow: Dohoho! Rejected again! Ah, well, another day, anoth— Er, wait. You mean you will?!

Avatar: Yes. We never know when next we'll meet, do we? And perhaps next time you won't even offer me an invitation.

Laslow: I suppose that's technically possible...

Avatar: I've spent a lot of time thinking about what you said before. Every meeting is a once-in-a-lifetime encounter, right? And now that I've come to see things your way, it'd be silly for me to say no.

Laslow: Thank you, Lord Avatar.

Avatar: But it does make me a little more scared to say good-bye to people than I used to be. When every good-bye could be your last, it becomes so much harder to let go. I never thought about it much before, but now it's always on my mind.

Laslow: Milord, if I may be frank, I feel that parting is a deeply sorrowful thing. If it were up to me, I'd never have to say farewell to anyone. I've had to do that far too much in my life... But it is not up to me. It's a part of life. And life cares little for our feelings. So it is, I suppose, as important to learn to let go as it is to cherish every moment.

Avatar: I agree.

Laslow: And besides! The sorrow of parting makes reunion all the sweeter, does it not? And saying good-bye to one person usually means saying hello to another. If I had not said good-bye to many people I loved, I'd never have met you, for example. I am truly grateful I was able to make your acquaintance, Lord Avatar.

Avatar: I'm glad I was able to meet you as well, Laslow. I'm sure the others all feel the same.

Laslow: Thank you. Now! Enough of this dreary philosophizing. Shall we treat ourselves to a meal now?

Avatar: Yes, I think that sounds delightful. After you, my friend.
