- Prince Xander... Could I have a moment of
- your time?▼
- Xander:
- Hello, Princess Hinoka. What do you need?▼
- Hinoka:
- I wanted to ask your opinion about
- something I discovered...▼
- Ryoma is planning a dinner party for me.▼
- Xander:
- Oh really? That's very kind of him.▼
- Hinoka:
- I agree, but there is one small problem...▼
- Xander:
- What kind of a problem?▼
- Hinoka:
- You see, it was supposed to be a surprise
- dinner party.▼
- Obviously it won't be now, since I found
- out about it...▼
- How should I behave in this situation?▼
- Xander:
- Hmm...▼
- How did you find out about the party?▼
- Hinoka:
- Well, I was walking down the hall, and the
- door to Ryoma's room was open...▼
- I heard him whispering about it to
- another person.▼
- Xander:
- I see. It definitely wasn't meant for
- your ears, then.▼
- Hinoka:
- I have no one else I can talk to about this.▼
- As a fellow royal, I thought you might have
- some insight you could share.▼
- Xander:
- Do you know what the reason for the
- dinner party is?▼
- Hinoka:
- No idea at all... It's not for my birthday...▼
- It could be the anniversary of my first
- victory in battle.▼
- I think that's coming up soon, and it's
- been several years since it happened.▼
- Xander:
- Well, my advice is to feign ignorance.▼
- When the party does happen, just behave
- as you normally would.▼
- Whatever you do, don't dwell on your
- knowledge of the party. Just enjoy it.▼
- Hinoka:
- Thank you, Prince Xander.
- I'll follow your advice.▼

- Hinoka:
- Prince Xander...▼
- Xander:
- What's the matter, Princess Hinoka?
- You look a little down...▼
- You aren't still worried about knowing
- about the dinner party, are you?▼
- Hinoka:
- I am. I wasn't before, after we talked—but
- I am now.▼
- You see, the anniversary of my first victory
- in battle has come and gone...▼
- The party I thought was being planned
- never happened.▼
- Maybe I misheard Ryoma after all...▼
- Xander:
- I see...▼
- Hinoka:
- I'm such a fool. I bet there never was any
- dinner party to begin with.▼
- It's so unlike me to get excited over
- something like that.▼
- I was so nervous, I was almost shaking
- whenever I was talking with Ryoma.▼
- On the anniversary itself, I couldn't focus
- on anything at all.▼
- I couldn't eat, I couldn't read. I thought
- that Ryoma would call on me at any time.▼
- But in the end, the day came and went.▼
- Xander:
- I understand why that would bother you...▼
- But try not to take it so hard.▼
- It's always possible that the party is
- planned for some other celebration.▼
- Hinoka:
- I thought of that, too, but I can't think of a
- single other event that it could be for...▼
- Xander:
- Hrm... It is a puzzle...▼
- I'd be happy to try and help you work it
- out, if you need someone to listen.▼
- Hinoka:
- Thank you, Prince Xander...▼
- You're much kinder than I thought
- you'd be.▼
- A Support:
- Hinoka:
- Hey there, Prince Xander!▼
- Xander:
- Ah, hello, Princess Hinoka. You look to be
- in very good spirits today.▼
- Hinoka:
- Of course I am! After such a wonderful
- dinner party, how could I not be?▼
- Xander:
- I'm glad. You see now that there was no
- reason for you to worry.▼
- Hinoka:
- Yes. You were right. I appreciate your help.▼
- There are a few things I still don't
- understand, though...▼
- Like... What was that dinner party actually
- celebrating?▼
- I can't think of any anniversaries, it wasn't
- my birthday...▼
- And if it was a Hoshidan celebration, why
- were you there, Prince Xander?▼
- Xander:
- Erm...well...▼
- Hinoka:
- Hang on...▼
- Could it be that you planned the whole
- event yourself?▼
- Maybe I really did mishear Ryoma and there
- was no party being planned originally...▼
- But you felt bad when you saw how excited
- I became, and so planned one yourself?▼
- Xander:
- Who knows? I suspect that it will forever
- remain a mystery.▼
- The food was good though; that much
- we know!▼
- Hinoka:
- You know, Prince Xander, you act like you
- are unemotional...▼
- But you're actually pretty sensitive and
- considerate to others.▼
- Xander:
- Hahaha... You're welcome to interpret the
- party however you like.▼
- You may be giving me far too much credit.▼
- Hinoka:
- Just the same, thank you, Prince Xander.▼
- As a sign of my gratitude, would you like to
- take a ride on my pegasus?▼
- I know of an amazing place that can only
- be reached from the air.▼
- Xander:
- That sounds wonderful. I look forward to it.▼
- S Support:
- Hinoka:
- Hello, Prince Xander. Is something wrong?
- Your summons sounded urgent.▼
- Xander:
- I apologize for the rush, but I didn't realize
- until this morning what today was.▼
- Hinoka:
- What do you mean? Is there something
- special about today?▼
- Xander:
- There is a Nohrian belief that couples who
- dine together on this day...▼
- Well, they say the bonds that tie them are
- strengthened by eating together today.▼
- Hinoka:
- I don't quite understand...▼
- Xander:
- I'm sorry. Allow me to explain.▼
- After the last dinner party, I had hoped to
- plan more meals between the royalty.▼
- I thought that by doing so, we could bring
- our two kingdoms even closer together.▼
- But I also realized that you were the one I
- specifically wished to get to know better...▼
- Hinoka:
- Prince Xander, are you saying...
- Do you have feelings for me?▼
- Xander:
- Yes, Princess Hinoka. That is it exactly.▼
- Heh, it's actually a bit difficult to leave
- myself vulnerable like this.▼
- That's not a feeling I'm accustomed to.▼
- Hinoka:
- You may feel vulnerable, but you aren't in
- any danger, Prince Xander.▼
- I've cared for you for a while now.▼
- Even before you planned that dinner you
- won't admit to planning.▼
- That kind act made me think that maybe
- my feelings toward you were mutual.▼
- Xander:
- Oh? Was it that obvious?▼
- I'll admit that I feared how you would react
- to my confession.▼
- Hinoka:
- You have nothing to fear!▼
- Hmmm... You said that eating together
- today would strengthen our bond?▼
- Xander:
- That's the belief in Nohr, anyway...▼
- Hinoka:
- In that case, we'd better find something to
- eat and somewhere to eat it!▼
- Xander:
- Princess Hinoka, I'm so glad to hear you
- say that.▼
- I'd planned ahead, just in case you did feel
- for me as I feel for you...▼
- Follow me. I have a special meal waiting
- for us.▼
- Hinoka:
- I can't wait!▼
