- Ophelia: [wink] Dance, magical lightning! And- dazzling thunderbolt attack!
- Hinata: [smile, closed eyes] Woo! That was awesome, Phi!
- Ophelia: I’m still workshopping that last little flair, but kind thanks, Father!
- Ophelia: Are you concocting any new calamities for our foes?
- Hinata: [surprised] Me? Nah, I’m more a ‘make it up as you go’ kinda guy.
- Ophelia: [surprised] Truly? You mean- your masterful manoeuvres are ad-libbed?
- Hinata: [smile] Yep! I just use the moves I’ve practiced and then see what happens!
- Ophelia: Even ‘Super Silent Shinai Strike’? But- the subtle irony of screaming it at the top of your lungs was incredible!
- Hinata: Uh-huh! Came up with that one on the spot!
- Ophelia: [worried] Your creative genius knows no bounds…
- Ophelia: I practice and refine every posture and line… but you surpass me so effortlessly!
- Hinata: [wink] Hey, I’ve got a few years on you yet! And I had a great teacher!
- Ophelia: [surprised] Really?
- Hinata: Yep! Lord Takumi’s great at this stuff. We practiced together all the time, so now it just comes natural!
- Ophelia: Lord Takumi? But he’s so… stern!
- Hinata: [surprised] Huh? This is- we’re talking about the same Lord Takumi, right?
- Ophelia: [wink] Of course! A stoic tactician, felling swathes of enemies with a single arrow from his mystical yumi…
- Hinata: [sweat, surprised] I mean, that IS something cool he’d do, but stoic?
- Ophelia: Yes! Lord Takumi’s so self-composed that no-one’s ever seen him smile or cry!
- Hinata: [sweat] Okay, I’ve DEFINITELY seen both of those.
- Ophelia: [surprised] Really? That’s incredible!
- Hinata: [smile, sweat] It’s not that unusual… Hey, you two should hang out sometime!
- Ophelia: Me and Lord Takumi? I wouldn’t even begin to know what to say! Why, his intellect dwarfs all the water in the seas!
- Hinata: Aww, don’t worry about it! He’s smart, but not in a weird unapproachable way.
- Hinata: C’mon, let’s see if he’s got some time to train!
- Ophelia: [surprised, sweat] B-but- I must prepare intellectually stimulating conversation!
- Hinata: [smile, closed eyes] Just ask him about nerdy stuff and you’ll do fine!
- B-support
- Ophelia: [smile] For such a wise man, Lord Takumi is surprisingly easy to talk to!
- Hinata: [smile, closed eyes] I know, right? He’s been like that ever since we were kids.
- Hinata: He makes everything look so cool and effortless, but he’s not arrogant or intimidating.
- Hinata: Lord Takumi’s the best!
- Hinata: [wink] So, are there any other people around here you think are scary?
- Ophelia: [smile, sweat] Well, there’s Lord Ryoma, of course.
- Hinata: [sweat] I mean, he’s… Yeah, Lord Ryoma’s pretty intimidating.
- Ophelia: What about Lady Azura?
- Hinata: [surprised] Lady Azura? Really?
- Ophelia: Yes! She’s so effortlessly composed and serene! She faces down even the most fearsome foe without ever faltering!
- Ophelia: [wink] And her dancing is sublime! Why, who wouldn’t be intimidated by such an amazing woman?
- Hinata: [wink] Lady Azura’s always been cool as a cucumber. But she’s really nice once you get to know her.
- Hinata: Hey, and I know she happens to love riverstones like the kind you’re always carrying around! You should show her your stonecasting!
- Ophelia: [surprised] A lady as refined as her would surely appreciate an accurate augury, but…
- Hinata: [smile, closed eyes] No need to be intimidated! I’ll be right there with you!
- Hinata: C’mon, let’s go see what she’s up to!
- Ophelia: [smile] Very well! I’ll bring my most potent crystals!
- A-support
- Ophelia: [smile] I had no idea you and Lady Azura had known each other for so long, Father!
- Hinata: [smile, sweat] Heh, me neither! I can’t believe she remembered all that stuff from when we were kids!
- Hinata: [sweat, blush] (Or that she brought it up in front of Ophelia.)
- Ophelia: [sad] Growing up with Lord Takumi and his siblings, and all their retainers… it must have been so lively.
- Hinata: [smile] There was never a dull moment, that’s for sure!
- Hinata: In retrospect, I can maaaaybe see why Lady Azura kept to herself for a while.
- Ophelia: I suppose that many strong personalities could be overwhelming…
- Hinata: [surprised] Hey, you okay, Phi?
- Ophelia: [eyes closed] Yes, I…
- Ophelia: It just sounds so wonderful. Having all those people around, like a grand family…
- Ophelia: One would never be lonely or want for attention.
- Hinata: [sad] Were you lonely?
- Ophelia: [surprised] Not uncommonly so. But… I suppose I always longed for more.
- Hinata: I’m sorry, Phi… We shouldn’t have left you in that place.
- Ophelia: [wink] Oh, never apologise for that, Father! My idyllic childhood only whetted my appetite for adventure and magic!
- Ophelia: [smile] And you’ve taken so much time to introduce me to people like Lord Takumi and Lady Azura.
- Ophelia: There’s just one more person who’s always intimidated me, but wish to know better…
- Hinata: [smile] Who are they? I’ll introduce you even if I have to drag ‘em all the way from Hoshido!
- Ophelia: [blush, smile] It’s you, Father.
- Hinata: [surprised] …Me? Wait, I’m scary?!
- Ophelia: Your boundless confidence and energy is a daunting mix of friendliness and mystique!
- Ophelia: I want to hear more about your childhood, how you became a samurai, how you and Father met, all of it!
- Hinata: [blush, smile] You’re so sweet, Phi. How could I say no?
- Hinata: [smile, closed eyes] So, I’ll start from the start? I was born at the beginning of summer, and…
