[Had a bit of trouble toward the end, where she gets more and more flustered. But I think it's there, just be warned I guess.]

Scarlet: I'll crush them for ruining such a peaceful mood... I feel like I've experienced this before...kind of like deja vu.

Ryoma: ...Ah. You're talking about that day.

Scarlet: Yeah. When we'd just met...when you snuck into the rebel army, hiding the fact that you're the first prince of Hoshido.

Ryoma: We were enjoying a peaceful dinner, but then we were surrounded by a swarm of bandits. You ran out and beat them all singlehandedly.

Scarlet: Heheh, well, that was just luck. I ended up using more strength than I actually have.

Ryoma: More than you actually have?

Scarlet: Yep. Thanks to you, I'm always surpassing my own abilities.

Ryoma: Thanks to me? I don't really understand -- what do you mean?

Scarlet: C'mon, how do you not get it? Back then...just before the bandits attacked...you gave me a certain present, right...?

Ryoma: A present...? What are you talking about?

Scarlet: ... No, just forget it. We'd better deal with these nuisances quickly.

Ryoma: Scarlet, is something distracting you?

Scarlet: Huh?

Ryoma: What do you keep glancing at? Something in the stands, maybe?

Scarlet: ...Good grief. You don't even notice the most important things, but you're sharper than ever with stuff like this.

Ryoma: What?

Scarlet: Now that it's come to this, I might as well confess. I was thinking about a flower stand.

Ryoma: A flower stand?

Scarlet: Yeah. Just like we were talking about before, right before the bandits attacked, you gave me a flower.

Ryoma: Oh, now I remember. I couldn't return to the rebel army empty-handed; the least I could do was bring a gift.

Scarlet: Among the women knights of Cheve, it's tradition to put a flower on our chest before a life-changing battle. So I put the flower you gave me on my chest, and that's how I routed those bandits.

Ryoma: Ahh, so that's it...

Scarlet: The flower you gave me symbolized eternal affection. It made me so happy. And so, I was able to fight with even more strength than usual.

Ryoma: ...I see.

Scarlet: Ryoma, even though you're so rigid and stern, you're pretty smooth.

Ryoma: No, I didn't know that it had such a meaning. It was pure coincidence.

Scarlet: ...Man, you're such a kill-joy. You didn't have to say that.

Ryoma: ...I-I don't--...

Scarlet: Anyway. I was still grateful, so I was thinking of giving you a flower, too. That's why I was so focused on the flower stand. Thinking, "what kind of flower-meaning should I look for...?"

Ryoma: And what kind of meaning were you planning on?

Scarlet: R-Ryoma! Do you normally ask people things like that!?

Ryoma: Am I not supposed to?

Scarlet: ... Anyway, once these Faceless are down and out, I'll give you a flower. If you want to know its meaning, you'll have to investigate it yourself.

Ryoma: G-got it. I'm looking forward to it.
