Avatar: Reina, wait! You dropped something!
Reina: Hm? Oh! My apologies. I should be more careful.
Avatar: Is that an apron?
Reina: Yes. I've been asked to help out with chores, so...
Avatar: Chores?
Reina: Yes. You know—cooking, cleaning, laundry, waste disposal, all that.
Avatar: Oh? I can see why they'd ask for your help. You look like you could handle anything. But are you sure you're OK with doing that? You're not obligated to...and it doesn't seem like the sort of thing you'd enjoy.
Reina: Thank you for looking out for me, but it's really no trouble.
Avatar: All right. If you say so...
Reina: Now, if you'll excuse me. I've some stews to prepare.
Avatar: Good luck!

Reina: Lord Avatar? You have a strange look on your face.
Avatar: Oh, sorry. I guess I was just thinking this is so different from my image of you.
Reina: Your image of me?
Avatar: Yeah. Usually I think of you as fierce and bloodthirsty, like you are in the field. But after the fighting's over, you put on an apron and it's like you're everyone's mom. The change is so sudden that it's a little jarring sometimes.
Reina: Ah, I see. It's true—I find no greater joy in life than that I feel when I am fighting. Some say I become battle crazed, and I can't say they are wrong. But I do still like to serve others in this way too.
Avatar: Any particular reason?
Reina: ...I am the daughter of some well-known magistrates in Hoshido. They never wanted this life for me. They wanted me to live a peaceful, domestic one. I wasn't allowed to touch toy weapons, let alone real ones.
Avatar: So you lived a sheltered life, then?
Reina: I suppose you could put it that way. But I was quite the tomboy. One of my favorite pastimes was watching the soldiers practice. Sometimes when my parents were busy, I'd get them to let me come with them. It wasn't long until I was slaying Faceless with the best of them. I loved it.
Avatar: I believe it. You're a force to be reckoned with.
Reina: But when my parents found out about it, they sent me to serve in the castle. My parents gave this apron to me before I left, as a parting gift. They'd hoped I would learn to become a proper lady and forget about fighting. However, when I got to the castle, I told the guard captain I wanted to be a knight.
Avatar: I see.
Reina: Oh no! I can't believe it's already this late. I need to start preparing dinner. My apologies, Lord Avatar. Perhaps we could pick this up some other time.
Avatar: Sure, I'd love to.

Avatar: Reina, do you have a moment?
Reina: Certainly, Lord Avatar.
Avatar: I was wondering if we could pick up where we left off the other day.
Reina: Oh, about my becoming a knight? Of course. It's not a very interesting tale, but I'm more than happy to share. It didn't take long for me to be accepted into the guard as a knight. Once accepted, I devoted my entire being to my training. I started as a pegasus knight, but quickly distinguished myself from my peers. I soon began serving Lady Mikoto and was assigned to the kinshi knights. I felt it was the greatest honor that could ever be bestowed upon me. However, my parents felt...differently.
Avatar: Really?
Reina: Yes. When they received the news, they felt confused and betrayed. They told me they cried and cried until they could cry no longer.
Avatar: I see...
Reina: They've refused to talk to or see me ever since. However, I still have a tremendous amount of gratitude for everything they did for me. Which is why I still use this apron whenever I perform my more domestic duties.
Avatar: You've had a hard time of things. I'm so sorry. Thank you for sharing, Reina.
Reina: It's nothing. Thank you for listening to my boring tale. Sharing it with you has helped me a little, I think.
Avatar: I'm glad to hear that. And please know, if you ever want to talk, I'm willing to listen.
Reina: Thank you, Lord Avatar.

Avatar: There you are! Er—what's wrong? You look sad.
Reina: It's nothing worth sharing, milord. In fact, it's a little embarrassing.
Avatar: Come now. You can tell me anything, Reina. You know that.
Reina: Yes, I suppose I can. I was just thinking about our discussion the other day. More specifically, I was wondering whether or not I should stop using my apron.
Avatar: Huh?
Reina: What I mean is that whenever I do domestic work, I feel like a fraud. Because the truth is that I'm terrible at it. I can't cook, I can't clean, and I can only just barely wash my own clothes. I do my very best, but I'm starting to think I should just leave the work to others. Much as I'd like to continue, to honor my parents, I should recognize my limits. Maybe it's time to put this old apron to rest.
Avatar: Well, I don't think you need to use that apron anymore.
Reina: Huh?
Avatar: I visited and spoke with your parents.
Reina: You did what?
Avatar: I told them everything. How bravely you fight and how hard you work for everyone. And how you try to honor them even to this day.
Reina: And how did they react?
Avatar: They cried. But, they weren't tears of sadness. They were tears of joy. They told me they were very proud of you and that they missed you terribly.
Reina: ...
Avatar: So, if you don't want to, I don't think you need to wear that apron anymore. But...I didn't just go there to tell them that.
Reina: You didn't? What else did you say?
Avatar: I asked them for your hand.
Reina: My hand? What do—
Avatar: Reina, will you marry me?
Reina: What?!
Avatar: Er—I mean—it's OK if you don't want to! I just had to ask you... I couldn't hide my feelings any longer.
Reina: No...don't be silly. I was just taken off guard. Of course I'll marry you. You've grown to be someone I depend on every day. I can't imagine what I'd do without you.
Avatar: Then you'll accept this ring?
Reina: Yes. I will.
Avatar: Whew. I'm so happy you said yes. I love you, Reina.
Reina: And I you, Avatar.
(Confession Scene)
Reina: It's wonderful to know that you love me, too. It feels like a dream...We must go tell everyone at once.
