Shigure: ♪ You are the ocean’s gray waves... ♪

Catria: Is someone singing down there?

Catria: Whoa! Wait! Slow down, girl! Whoa!

Shigure: Ack!

(thud)

Catria: Oh, dear. Are you okay?

Shigure: Oof... I think I’m alright. Nothing seems broken...

Catria: I’m really sorry about this... I don’t know what got into her...

Catria: I was just flying by when I heard your song.

Shigure: That might explain it... Pegasi and other animals tend to be attracted to my music.

Catria: Still, she’s usually better behaved...

Shigure: May I pet her?

Catria: Certainly. I’m Catria, by the way.

Shigure: Shigure. A pleasure to make your acquaintance... despite the circumstances.

Catria: Right... I still feel bad about that.

Shigure: Heh. Don’t worry about it.

Shigure: Your pegasus is so friendly. Here, would you like a sugar cube?

Catria: You keep sugar cubes on you?

Shigure: Yes. In my home world, I am also a Pegasus Knight.

Catria: No wonder she likes you so much. I’ve never seen her warm up to someone so quickly...

Catria: Not even me...

Shigure: Hm? What was that?

Catria: Nothing. We should be off. I’m sure you would like to return to your singing.

Shigure: There’s no rush. Maybe I could even sing for you?

Catria: Err, as nice as that sounds, we have our own training to do, too. Sorry.

Shigure: Of course. Until next time, then.

Catria: Argh! It’s not like her to wander off...

Shigure: Catria? Is something the matter?

Catria: Oh... Shigure. Well, yes. My pegasus is missing.

Shigure: That’s terrible! Here, let me help you find her.

Catria: No, that’s alright. I can find her myself.

Shigure: Are you sure? Askr is a very large kingdom. We could cover more ground working together.

Catria: I’m positive.

Shigure: Very well...

(transition)

Catria: It feels like I’ve scoured the entire continent, and it’s almost midnight. Where could she be?

Shigure: Catria! Good news!

Catria: Shigure? Is that--

Shigure: Yes, I found her! I was just out in the woods practicing my singing again when she wandered up.

Shigure: So I gave her another sugar cube and led her back to camp.

Catria: Great. Thanks. *sigh*

Shigure: Erm, is something the matter?

Catria: No. Why would there be?

Shigure: You’re just acting like--

Catria: I’m fine, alright? I’m just going to put her back in the stables and get some rest.

Shigure: Yes... of course.

Shigure: Catria...

Catria: Hello, Shigure.

Shigure: I have to ask. Have I done something to upset you?

Catria: What? No. Why do you ask?

Shigure: The last few times we’ve talked, you’ve seemed... stand-offish.

Catria: ...Oh. That.

Shigure: So I have done something.

Catria: No, it’s not you. It’s... me.

Shigure: Hm?

Catria: I am the middle child of three sisters. We are all Pegasus Knights.

Catria: Palla and Est... They’re much more talented than I am.

Catria: Everything comes so naturally to them, but I have to work so hard.

Catria: Even with my pegasus. Their pegasi bonded with them immediately, but mine took days before it would even tolerate me.

Shigure: And then you saw how quickly it bonded with me...

Catria: Yes. I was envious and petty. I’m sorry.

Shigure: Catria, wait. You needn’t apologize. I think I can relate.

Catria: How so?

Shigure: My mother was also a singer. Her voice had magical powers and she was known around the world for her talent.

Shigure: I could never live up to her greatness.

Catria: If your singing isn’t as good as hers, she must have the perfect voice. You’re amazingly talented.

Shigure: I appreciate that. I could say the same about your skill in the air. Never have I seen a Pegasus Knight fight so gracefully.

Catria: Then you’ve never watched Palla or Est.

Shigure: You shouldn’t be so hard on yourself.

Shigure: You know, Catria, perhaps it is fate that brought us together.

Catria: Hm? What makes you say that?

Shigure: We understand each other in a way few people do. We know what it feels like to live in the shadow of a family member.

Shigure: If we stick together, we could encourage each other. We could remind each other not to compare our own talents to our loved ones.

Shigure: What do you say?

Catria: ...Alright. If it means we’re friends, then I’m in.

Shigure: Wonderful.

Shigure: Catria? May I have a moment?

Catria: Shigure. Is it time for another training session?

Shigure: No. I thought we could talk, just the two of us.

Catria: Oh... Alright. I’m not much of a talker, though.

Shigure: Well, then I’ll skip straight to the point. Catria... I love you.

Catria: Wh-What? Where is this coming from?

Shigure: I’ve thought about this long and hard. You push me to be a better singer and a better man.

Shigure: I want to spend my life with you. Do you... want to spend your life with me?

Catria: Oh, Shigure... Yes. I do. More than anything. You’re the sweetest man I’ve ever met.

Catria: You make me feel like an individual. Not just the “middle Whitewing”.

Shigure: Oh, Catria, that makes me so happy! With you by my side, I feel as though I could accomplish anything.
