Flareon: Prince Leo... Leafeon: Hello, Princess Hinoka. Flareon: Do you remember what you said to me the other day? Leafeon: You mean about you trying to win the war all by yourself? Flareon: Yes. But... It's not my intention to fight alone. I'm aware that the people who fight at my side have put their faith in me. It isn't that I choose not to trust in those people. It's not that at all. But I can only know my own limits. I can't be sure of other people's. Leafeon: What are you saying, Princess Hinoka? Flareon: I'm saying that I'm afraid of depending on other people too much. That's why I prefer to fight alone. Leafeon: But isn't part of the reason for having retainers so that you can depend on them? Flareon: It is, and in day-to-day events, or for minor tasks, I can depend on them. But when I think about the idea of ordering someone into harm's way... I couldn't bear to do that, so instead I take on those duties myself. Leafeon: In other words, you'd sooner put yourself in danger than someone else. Flareon: Yes... Is that really such a fault? Leafeon: Not in the least. On the contrary, it's a rather noble mind-set. It also explains why people put such trust in you—they believe you'll protect them. Flareon: Having them around to protect does drive me to be stronger... Prince Leo, I apologize that my style makes it difficult to plan tactics. Leafeon: Now that I've thought about it, it doesn't seem like as big a problem... You've actually motivated and encouraged me to fight by your side as well. Flareon: R-really?! Well, I'm glad to hear it, Prince Leo!
