Hana, there's something I'd like to talk to you about.
What's that?
It may not be my place to say this, but what was wrong in the battle?
Excuse me?
I heard that you're considered one of the best samurai in Hoshido. I was excited to see your technique in action and had high expectations. To tell you the truth...
I was a little disappointed in your performance.
What! How dare you...?!
Your first blows were surprisingly weak. And you don't even try to anticipate and counter the attacks from your enemies. You appeared uncommitted to the battle, putting yourself and your allies in danger.
Well...I didn't sleep very well last night. And I skipped breakfast this morning. Usually I'm a lot better than that.
Hrm... Why is it that you've taken up the sword, Hana? What are you fighting for?
That's obvious. I'm fighting for my liege and best friend, Lady Sakura.
So I can infer the loyalty Lady Sakura deserves from the quality of your fighting. She must not deserve much if this is how you fight in her name...
Excuse me?! I'll pretend, for the moment, that you did not directly insult me. But I won't let you slight Lady Sakura's character!
If you're bitter about my words, let's see you prove me wrong in our next battle.
You better believe I will! Grrrrrr!!
