Corrin: Hello Hana. May I request for another spar with you? That last battle did quite a number on me, and I feel I'm getting slower.
Hana: About that, I wanted to put our sparring sessions aside and talk.
Corrin: Oh? This is unusual. You never miss a day of training, haha.
Hana: Enough about me! What were you doing in that last battle? You were hovering over me, literally, in dragon form, chasing off our enemies! And whenever they came close to me, you'd swoop in, defend me and fly away.
Corrin: Hana, I assigned myself to aerial support so that I can assist Subaki and Reina to defend the others.
Hana: *sigh* Lord Corrin, I'm not blind. This isn't the first time you've been overprotective of me in battle.
Corrin: How so?
Hana: Half of the battles, I've been paired up with you, and half of the time, you're defending from every enemy that tries to attack me. I mean, look at this!
Corrin: Argh! My arm! Stop pulling it!
Hana: Your arm was burned when you shielded me from that mage! As soon as your wounds were patched, you go get yourself hurt again over me.
Corrin: I get angry when people bully my friends? Haha... ha...
Hana: You attacked first, Lord Corrin.
Corrin: R-right, I... I did.
Hana: Lord Corrin, why are you so protective of me?
Corrin: I...I'm sorry Hana, but I can't tell you. I want to tell you, truly, but I can't. It's still too early for you to know.
Hana: This again? Yesterday, you said the same thing. You spar to get to know me, but you won't say anything about yourself. You have something to say about my Father, but you won't say it. You're protective of me during battle, but you keep your distance. And now you say can't tell me what you want to tell me? Just get to the point, Lord Corrin!
Corrin: Listen to me Hana, I can't tell you because you don't understand what I'm trying to do.
Hana: And if I began to, you will tell me?
Corrin: Yes, I will, but since you don't, my lips are sealed. And until you try to understand what I'm doing, I will keep on defending you, even if I have to break myself for it.
Hana: No. No no no no no no, that is my job. I'm the retainer, I should be defending you.
Corrin: You're wrong, you're Sakura's assigned retainer. Your focus should be on her, not me.
Hana: I am focused on her because if anything happens to her siblings, then she'll be hurt as well! A retainer is there to defend their liege and the royal family!
Corrin: You're more than just a retainer, Hana!
Hana: And you're more than just the army's commander! Stop protecting me and just let me defend you!
Corrin: WHY WON'T YOU JUST LET ME DO THIS FOR YOU, KYOSUKE?!
Hana: ...
Corrin: ...
Hana: ...
Corrin: ... Gods... Hana... I-I didn't mean to...
*Hana walks away*
Corrin: Hana! Gods damn me! *sigh* What have I done? I'm sorry, Hana. It's just... seeing you protect Sakura reminds me of Father and Kyosuke. To a liege, a retainer is more than just a bodyguard.
