Sakura:
Excuse me, X-Xander...
Xander:
Hello, Princess Sakura. How may I be of service?
Sakura:
Oh, it's n-nothing... I just wanted to say hello...
Xander:
Ah... Hello, then. Are you sure that's all you wished to say?
Sakura:
Y-yes... Uh... no! Actually, that's not it at all...
Xander:
No?
Sakura:
Um... I'm s-sorry. This is awkward...
Xander:
It doesn't have to be. I swear it. If you have something to say, please—just say it!
Sakura:
M-maybe later...
Xander:
What was all that about?
B Support
Xander:
Lady Sakura, may I have a word?
Sakura:
Uh... OK.
Xander:
I'm curious. The other day, you stopped to say hello and then... disappeared. Now, it's a bit of a mystery. What was that about?
Sakura:
I was just p-practicing.
Xander:
Practicing what?
Sakura:
I'm training myself not to be s-so shy. I always get nervous around people. I thought if I could work up the nerve to talk to someone like you...
Xander:
Someone like me?
Sakura:
Well, y-you're the most intimidating person in Nohr!
Xander:
Oh. I see.
Sakura:
Ack! I'm s-sorry! I didn't mean to blurt it out like that! I'm sure you're actually v-very nice. It's just... you're pretty scary!
Xander:
Scary? Ha!
Sakura:
I'm sorry! I didn't mean to say that!
Xander:
Don't apologize. I get that a lot. I am used to it by now. Some mean it as a compliment; others do not.
Sakura:
Oh, that was so incredibly rude of me! I'm r-really sorry!
Xander:
Gone again, just like that...

Xander:
Princess Sakura, may I have a moment of your time?
Sakura:
Um! I! Uh...
Xander:
You wanted to practice speaking with the most intimidating person in Nohr, right? I'm happy to be of service.
Sakura:
I'm s-so sorry I said that... It's just...
Xander:
You don't have to explain. I understand completely.
Sakura:
You do?
Xander:
I don't tell many people this, but I was a timid child. I could barely make eye contact. I was also clumsy with the sword at first, which disappointed my father to no end. Then, one day... I decided to change. I tried the very tactic you are using now. I decided to talk to the most frightening person I could find.
Sakura:
Wh-who was that?
Xander:
My father.
Sakura:
Really?!
Xander:
Yes, and it worked. But talking to my father was not the thing that changed me.
Sakura:
It wasn't?
Xander:
The most important thing is that you must WANT to change. I see that desire in you. So, let's talk. Now. You choose the topic.
Sakura:
B-but I don't know how!
Xander:
Don't think so hard. Tell me... What's the best thing that's happened to you today?
Sakura:
Oh... I know! I passed by some pretty flowers this m-morning.
Xander:
Ah, gardening. That's good! We'll start with flowers... What sort were they?

Xander:
Lady Sakura, shall we talk some more?
Sakura:
Yes, I would enjoy that.
Xander:
Ah, I like that fierce look in your eyes. Your training seems to be paying off.
Sakura:
Yeah, maybe... If it is, I have you to thank!
Xander:
Today, I think we should talk about the future.
Sakura:
Oh, that's good! I like to imagine what it'll be like in our countries after the war...
Xander:
As do I, but that's not what I meant. Princess Sakura... *ahem* What I mean to say is... um... This is odd. You have me at a complete loss for words.
Sakura:
Prince Xander? Wh-what is it?
Xander:
What I'm trying to say is... I want you to have this ring.
Sakura:
Th-th-th-that's a...?
Xander:
Sakura, you look pale. Are you OK?
Sakura:
Y-yes... I just got n-nervous again. This is such a huge moment! Heeheehee...
Xander:
Now you're laughing? Gods, this isn't going well.
Sakura:
No, I'm sorry! It's just funny... We're both making each other nervous!
Xander:
I suppose I can see the humor in that. Still, I must implore you to give my request your serious consideration. If you say yes, I promise I will always do my best for you and for our people.
Sakura:
Oh, Xander. You've already done so much for me. I first approached you because I found you intimidating... But now, I look forward to our every conversation. I won't keep you w-waiting, Xander. My answer is yes!
Xander:
I am so pleased to hear it. Come, let us go tell the others.
