Azura:

Goodness! These boxes are heavier than I thought. 

Ryoma:

Azura? What are you doing carrying all of those weapons by yourself? 

Azura:

It's not a problem. 

Ryoma:

Here. Let me help with that. Wow! Some of these are heavy! Why don't you carry that lighter box over there? 

Azura:

Thanks, Ryoma. 

Ryoma:

Would it kill you to ask for help once in a while? 

Azura:

I'm sorry. I think I just got carried away. You know I hate bothering people. 

Ryoma:

It's not a bother! I'd be glad to help you. I'm here for you anytime. Really. 

Azura:

Thanks, Ryoma. Now, please, will you stop worrying about me? Excuse me. 

Ryoma:

Azura, wait! Hmm. I really thought she'd warm up to me one day. I've got to try something else.

Ryoma:

Hello, Azura. Do you have a minute? 

Azura:

Yes. Actually, I've been looking for you. 

Ryoma:

Oh? You took our conversation to heart? So what can I help you with? 

Azura:

Nothing! I just heard that you've been talking about me behind my back. 

Ryoma:

Did you? Uh...well, that was a bit of a misunderstanding. 

Azura:

Was it?! Are you saying that you weren't talking about me? 

Ryoma:

*ahem* Well, I WAS talking about you, but not like that. 

Azura:

All right, Ryoma! Which is it? 

Ryoma:

The truth is, I was asking our friends for some advice. ...I want us to be closer. I thought my fellow soldiers might have some suggestions on approaching you. 

Azura:

Oh, my. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to give you such a hard time. 

Ryoma:

*sigh* That's all right. I should've come to you instead. Please, forgive me. 

Azura:

There's no need to apologize. You can make it up to me by doing me a favor. 

Ryoma:

Of course! Anything you ask! 

Azura:

Will you stop fussing over me? Avatar should be your priority now! 

Ryoma:

What does Avatar have to do with this? 

Azura:

Ever since I arrived in Hoshido, you treated me like I belonged. ...But we both know I was never supposed to be here. Avatar is your family! 

Ryoma:

Azura, you're wrong! There's room enough for both you and Avatar. 

Azura:

I've always been happy here. You and Queen Mikoto made sure of that. But now you should focus on making Avatar feel welcome instead. 

Ryoma:

Azura, wait! ...Hmm. Is this why she's been avoiding me?

Azura:

Goodness, Ryoma! You're blocking the whole hallway! May I get by? 

Ryoma:

No! I'm not moving—at least, not until you hear me out. 

Azura:

What do you mean? 

Ryoma:

I've been trying to talk to you all week, and every time I approach you, you run away! I'm sorry to corner you like this, but please, Azura, you have to listen! 

Azura:

I told you not to waste your time on me. You've found Avatar. 

Ryoma:

Why don't you understand? You've always been your own person! You may be here because Avatar was kidnapped, but you're not a replacement. If you'll give me a chance, I'd like to be close with Avatar and you. 

Azura:

Really? 

Ryoma:

Please, Azura. Don't make me say it again. I'm here for you...always. 

Azura:

Oh. I'm so relieved! I'm afraid I've grown pretty attached to all of you. 

Ryoma:

Good. I hope you'll lean on us a little more...well, especially me. 

Azura:

If you insist. 

Ryoma:

No. I want you to promise me that you'll ask for help when you need it. 

Azura:

I'm guessing you're going to stand there blocking the hallway until I say yes. 

Ryoma:

That wasn't my original plan, but it's not a bad idea. 

Azura:

All right. Yes. When I need something, I'll come find you. I promise. 

Ryoma:

Excellent. I'll be waiting.  

S Support

Azura:

Thanks again for carrying in the groceries. 

Ryoma:

Oh, uh... Sure. Not a problem. 

Azura:

There's one other thing. I could use help with this paperwork...if you have time. 

Ryoma:

Mmm-hmm. 

Azura:

Ryoma? Are you all right? You seem kind of distracted. 

Ryoma:

Huh? Did you say something? 

Azura:

Goodness! I'm so sorry. I've been dumping all this on you. Clearly, you're exhausted! I know you wanted me to ask for help, but I think I've gone a little overboard! 

Ryoma:

No! Don't apologize. It's my fault. I just didn't expect it to be like this. I told myself I would be content just to make your life easier, but I'm not. 

Azura:

I'm afraid I'm not following you. 

Ryoma:

The thing is I don't want to run errands and lift heavy objects for you. I want to be there for you emotionally too. I want to be there for you as a man. 

Azura:

Oh, my. What are you saying? 

Ryoma:

Azura, I've known you for so long, but I was always afraid to tell you how I felt. You never let anyone get close to you. I wanted to be the exception. 

Azura:

I've always felt shy around you. I was afraid my heart would break if I got too close. 

Ryoma:

I suppose we've both been trying to make the best of a bad situation. 

Azura:

It doesn't have to be that way anymore. 

Ryoma:

Are you saying that you want things to be different? 

Azura:

Yes, Ryoma! I don't want you to open jars for me and carry my groceries. I love you. I've been too scared to tell you that. I wasn't sure you felt the same. 

Ryoma:

Azura, I've always loved you. From now on, I'll be there for you as a man should. Will you promise me that you'll try to open up your heart a little more? 

Azura:

Yes! I was afraid of losing you, but now, I know we were meant to be together always.
