FugaRinkah

Rinkah: Hm? Fuga, chief of the wind clan?

Fuga: And you're Rinkah, warrior of the fire clan...I've heard many tales of your bravery. This is the perfect opportunity. I had been thinking of a certain question I want to ask you. Could we have a moment to talk?

Rinkah: Fine. I'm pretty interested in the wind clan, myself.

Fuga: Thank you. Then I'll ask immediately: I've heard that the fire clan values isolation and maintaining its own traditions above all else. So for what purpose would you live together as a tribe? From an outsider's point of view, it seems contradictory.

Rinkah: It's simple. There's a difference between complete solitude and our view of isolation. We always improve ourselves. We speak for ourselves, fight for ourselves. It's not related to whether or not we're in a group. That is our view of isolation.

Fuga: I see. The fire tribe must have many outstanding men and women. That's the reason behind your strength...now it makes sense.

Rinkah: Is that really all you wanted to ask?

Fuga: Hmm...I'll ask one more, then. What's your favorite kind of food?

Rinkah: ...Is this a joke? That has nothing to do with the fire tribe.

Fuga: True, perhaps. But...I'm certainly not joking.

Rinkah: I've had enough of your rudeness.

Fuga: ...Hmph. It seems like she has the wrong idea...

-----

Fuga: Wait, Rinkah. Won't you lend me your ear for a moment? I want to correct our misunderstanding.

Rinkah: ...Fine, then. Come on.

Fuga: Many thanks, Rinkah. The reason I asked what food you liked...was just because I wanted to know more about you, seeing as we're fighting together.

Rinkah: ...Why would you want to know about me?

Fuga: To build trust. Trusting someone you know nothing about can be a dangerous thing. That's why I wanted to learn about you.

Rinkah: If you really want to know me, the quickest way is a fistfight.

Fuga: Naturally. I'm already aware of that. I've felt the same way for a long time. But today's festival is about talking with each other to reach a mutual understanding. A fistfight would be disrespectful to that purpose. That's why I decided to ask you about food.

Rinkah: Heh. You're pretty awkward yourself, aren't you? But you got your meaning across. I suppose the understanding was my fault.

Fuga: Hmm. I'm glad we've cleared it up, then. Now, let's talk all through the festival and cultivate trust.

Rinkah: Heh, you'd go that far just to understand me?

Fuga: We shouldn't ignore the natural affinity between fire and wind. Once we can truly understand each other...our enemies will be but a breeze.

Rinkah: ...Yeah. I agree. Then, this time, it's my turn to ask about the wind clan.

Fuga: First, you'd best tell me your favorite food.

Rinkah: Hmph. Alright, Fuga.
