Hinoka: Yaah! Hyah! HHHAAAAAIIII-YAH!
(Hinoka leaves)
Hinata: Oh, it's Lady Hinoka training over there. She gives off such an intense energy when she is deep into her training...
Hinoka: Hello, Hinata. Do you need something?
Hinata: Oh! No, sorry for disturbing you. I was just overwhelmed by your intensity.
Hinoka: My intensity? This is just a normal workout for me, really.
Hinata: A normal workout... Amazing! Your energy while training is extremely attractive.
Hinoka: Hah, no need for compliments. I'm doing this to improve my body, not my ego.
Hinata: Such self-discipline... We retainers could learn a thing or two from you, to be sure. You're truly impressive, Princess Hinoka.
Hinoka: No need to be so formal, Hinata. And I have to be strong. I can't always rely on my retainers. I need to be able to protect myself.
Hinata: What?! But, Lady Hinoka, the whole reason you have retainers is to rely on them. Aren't there some things you can order them to deal with?
Hinoka: No, I'm not bossy with them most of the time. And even if I was...
Hinata: You trailed off there. What do you mean?
Hinoka: Even if I gave them orders, they're not the types to jump up and get things done.
Hinata: That doesn't seem like the proper behavior for a royal retainer at all...
Hinoka: It doesn't bother me that much, so it's fine. If anything, I feel obligated to watch over them, really. Honestly, having to take care of them actually keeps me on my toes.
Hinata: Well, if you ever need help with anything, just let me know. I'll gladly help you!
Hinoka: Oh no, I wouldn't impose on you. Or on Takumi, for that matter.
Hinata: Don't worry! Lord Takumi would understand if you needed help. It really wouldn't bother anyone.
Hinoka: I appreciate the thought, but I prefer not to rely on other people. I have somewhere to be.
(Hinoka leaves)
Hinata: W-wait! Lady Hinoka!

Hinata: I'm still thinking about that talk I had with Lady Hinoka the other day... She said she couldn't count on her retainers, but maybe I can help. Hey, is that her over there? She looks a little unsteady.
(Hinata leaves)
Hinoka: *phew* Ouf!
Hinata: Yikes! Lady Hinoka, are you OK?!
Hinoka: Hm? Oh—Hinata. Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm just a little dizzy is all.
Hinata: I don't want to lecture you, Lady Hinoka... But do you think you may be working too hard?
Hinoka: Not in the least.
Hinata: But...we fought in a battle today, and yet you're also training? Why don't you take it easy for a little bit? Even just a single day.
Hinoka: I suppose you have a point... I'll go rest in the shade of that tree over there. Is that enough?
Hinata: Yes! Here, I'll walk with you in case you need a hand.
Hinoka: Thank you... I can't believe I got that exhausted.
Hinata: I know I said it before, but you really should learn to rely on others more. We're all willing to help out, if you just ask!
Hinoka: I'll make a point to remember that. I don't mean to worry everyone... I just feel like I haven't reached my full potential, so I have to keep working.
Hinata: Lady Hinoka...
Hinoka: Oh, wipe that look off your face. I promise I'll rest for the remainder of the day. I'll head back to my room for now.
Hinata: Good! I can escort you there.
Hinoka: Haha, don't worry. I can make it. I'll talk to you later.
(Hinoka leaves)
Hinata: Jeez! Even when exhausted, she's fast.

Hinoka: Hello, Hinata. I wanted to apologize to you for making you worry the other day.
Hinata: Ah, hi there, Lady Hinoka. I'm glad to see you looking better!
Hinoka: I'm feeling better, too. I really do appreciate your help. That said, you are Takumi's retainer. I don't want you worrying about me anymore.
Hinata: Lady Hinoka, why do you keep putting distance between us? Could it be that you aren't willing to show weakness around retainers?
Hinoka: I don't...
Hinata: Just have a little faith in us. We're happy to help you!
Hinoka: You're right, of course. I never really realized it before, but perhaps I place an undue burden on my position...
Hinata: The whole reason you have retainers is so that you have people to rely on. If you hide that you need help, they'll never be able to do anything for you.
Hinoka: Hinata...
Hinata: We may be retainer and royal to each other, but we're also warriors who fight together. We're companions. So it's fine to show a little vulnerability now and then.
Hinoka: You're right. I need to reconsider my way of thinking.
Hinata: Lady Hinoka...
Hinoka: As a princess of Hoshido, I've always pushed myself to excel. I wanted to be able to support Ryoma and protect Avatar, so I worked hard. But after all you've said, I can see that I may have pushed myself too hard.
Hinata: I'm sorry if I spoke out of line... I just want you to realize you can rely on me a little.
Hinoka: I understand. I'll try to do that from now on.
Hinata: Good!

Hinata: Hey there, Lady Hinoka! Can I help you with anything today? I can fight by your side in battle, but I'd like to help you outside the battlefield, too. Anything from war council preparations to taking stock of our supplies; just say so!
Hinoka: You've been helping me so much already, I've nothing left for you to do. To think I believed that no one else could do all the things I did.
Hinata: Oh really? Well it makes me pretty happy to hear you say so!
Hinoka: I'm glad. That reminds me, Hinata, I have something to ask you. Hm, how best to... There's someone I've taken an interest in recently...
Hinata: Wh-what?! You mean there's someone you like romantically?!
Hinoka: Exactly. He scolds me when I need to be straightened out, but he has a kind heart.
Hinata: Oh really? He sounds like a really nice guy. I'm sure you'll get along... I had no idea you were interested in someone...
Hinoka: You... You realize I'm talking about you, right?
Hinata: You are?!
Hinoka: Up until we really started talking, I've lived my life hiding all of my weaknesses. Ryoma was really the only person who I ever let see me fail. Then you came along and made yourself so available... I felt so at ease.
Hinata: Hang on, hang on! Are you saying...
Hinoka: Yes, Hinata! I'm saying that I think I'm in love with you!
Hinata: I knew it! Ahhh, damn it. I wanted to say it first.
Hinoka: Say it first? What do you mean?
Hinata: I mean that I love you too, Lady Hinoka! You're awkward, but you're also straightforward and honest. Ignoring my duty as a retainer to protect royalty, I still would give my life for you. Lady Hinoka... Please let us be together as a couple!
Hinoka: Hinata, I'm really happy that you think of me the same way. Yes, let's go forward together!
