- Shura: [surprised] Hey, Kana, you’ve barely touched your food!
- Shura: Not a fan of fried rice any more?
- Kana: [determined] No, it’s my favourite!
- Kana: I just can’t… darn!
- Shura: [smile, closed eyes] Ohhh, I get it. Chopsticks, huh?
- Kana: I’m used to eating with a knife and fork, but it looks so cool when you eat with chopsticks!
- Kana: Even though they’re so fiddly, you make it look easy!
- Shura: Well, I’ve been doing it since I was a kid, y’know.
- Shura: In fact, I used to have a lotta trouble with knives and forks!
- Kana: [surprised] Really?
- Shura: Yep. Nohrians use about a billion different kinds, and half of them are too blunt to cut anything!
- Shura: [smile, sweat] I mean, the kinda food I grew up eating was mostly with your hands, anyway.
- Kana: [surprised] I thought Kohga used chopsticks like Hoshido.
- Shura: We did. But when in Nohr, eat like a Nohrian.
- Shura: The food you get on the street and at market is the kind you hold in your hands.
- Shura: And for fancier stuff, they use knives and forks like Avatar.
- Kana: [smile, closed eyes] So you’re basically a food utensil genius!
- Shura: [sweat] I dunno if that qualifies as a kind of genius…
- Kana: Teach me to use chopsticks? Pleaaaase?
- Shura: [smile] Sure thing, on one condition.
- Kana: [surprised] What’s that?
- Shura: Eat your peas. All of ‘em.
- Kana: [upset] Even the gross mushy ones?
- Shura: Every last one.
- Kana: [pout] …Knowledge has a high price.
- B-support
- Shura: Alright, first things first – lemme see your technique.
- Kana: [surprised] My technique?
- Shura: Yep. If I’m gonna show you how to use chopsticks, I need to know where you’re at.
- Shura: We’re gonna use this rice for now. I made it stickier than normal, so it’s no good for eating, but it should make practicing easier.
- Kana: [determined] Okay…
- Kana: [upset] Ack! Fallen at the first hurtle…
- Shura: [smile] Heh, that’s not so bad.
- Shura: The problem’s your grip. Here, just let me tie this around…
- Shura: There you go. This’ll help keep your grip sturdy.
- Kana: [surprised] Whoa, that does help!
- Kana: [smile, closed eyes] You’re so smart, Papa!
- Shura: Heh, it’s a pretty common trick…
- Kana: [surprised] Is this how you learnt back when you were little?
- Shura: Sure is. My mother taught me when I was little.
- Shura: Took me forever to pick up on it.
- Kana: [smile] Hey, Papa… I’ve never seen you smile like that before when you talk about the past.
- Shura: [surprised] Huh?
- Kana: [neutral] Well, I know you lost so much when you were little, and it usually makes you sad talking about it, so I try not to.
- Kana: [smile] But just then, you… you looked really happy.
- Shura: [smile] Sharp as usual, Kana.
- Shura: Part of it’s that those memories aren’t tainted by what came after. I was so small, I can’t even place when it happened, how soon before the fall…
- Shura: Mostly it’s thanks to you and Avatar, though.
- Kana: [surprised] Really?
- Shura: Yep. I used to feel guilty when I was a kid, that I lived and my parents didn’t.
- Shura: But now, having you… I know how my folks must’ve felt. I know they’d be glad that I made it.
- Kana: [sad] Papa…
- Shura: [smile] Hey, no long face! I’m not planning on going anywhere.
- Kana: [smile] Good! ‘cause you’re gonna be stuck with me for a looong time!
- A-support
- Kana: [determined] Almost there…
- Kana: [smile, closed eyes] Yes!
- Shura: [smile] Good work, Kana! You’re wielding those chopsticks like a pro!
- Kana: I don’t even need the tie any more!
- Kana: Thanks, Papa! You’re the best teacher!
- Kana: [sad] But… we can keep spending time like this together, right?
- Shura: Huh?
- Kana: [smile] I love playing with you and Papa, but it’s fun hanging out just the two of us, too.
- Kana: So maybe you can teach me something else!
- Shura: [smile] Sure thing. What are you looking to learn?
- Kana: [frown] Hmm… oh!
- Kana: [neutral] If it doesn’t make you as sad to talk about it any more, maybe you could tell me about Kohga?
- Kana: [smile, closed eyes] We’re gonna rebuild it after the war, right? So I gotta know stuff about it!
- Shura: [surprised] Hey, don’t tell me you held off on asking about it just to spare my feelings?
- Kana: [pout] Well, of course I did! I don’t want to make you sad!
- Shura: [smile] Don’t you worry about me, Kana. You got a right to know about your heritage, however it makes me feel.
- Shura: Besides, with someone like you as Kohga’s future, I think we’re gonna be just fine.
- Shura: So, what do you wanna know first?
- Kana: [smile] Hmmm…. What do kids do for fun? What kinda games did you play?
- Shura: [smile, closed eyes] Well, hide and seek was pretty popular, us being ninja and all…
