Azura x Mozu C (ESSM)
Music: Implore the Dawn
AZURA: ...
MOZU: Um, Lady Azu-
AZURA: Of verdant— give me a moment— green...
MOZU: Oh, gosh, I'm not disturbing you, am I?
AZURA: N...no. I'm sorry. What do you need?
MOZU: U-um...
AZURA: Truly, Mozu, it's fine. I was just trying to remember the words to a song I once knew.
MOZU: It...it sounded pretty. What I heard of it. You've got such a lovely voice, Lady Azura.
AZURA: Thank you— and so do you.
MOZU: H-huh!?
AZURA: I heard you singing in the mess hall while you were chopping vegetables. It's nice to hear someone else singing around here.
MOZU: Aww... I can't hold a candle to you.
MOZU: But, um, it's funny you mention that, actually, 'cause... I was wondering if... Oh, I feel so silly asking this, but...
MOZU: There's a song that I... I was wondering if you might sing.
MOZU: I'll pay you back, of course! In money, or food, or whatever you like!
MOZU: I just... When I think of never hearing it again, it...
AZURA: It hurts. The idea of it slipping away like it never existed.
AZURA: I... I completely understand.
MOZU: I thought you might.
MOZU: The rest of it...it's all gone. My house, my things, everyone I knew... My memory's all I have left of it now.
MOZU: And I keep thinkin'... If I die in battle tomorrow, then... Then that's it. It's all gone. Like it never was.
AZURA: ...Oh, Mozu...
MOZU: I'm sorry, Lady Azura, I didn't mean to drag you down...
AZURA: Please, don't apologize. You're saying things that I...
AZURA: ...I understand. So much so that it's strange hearing it from your lips.
AZURA: I'd be honored to help keep your memories alive.
MOZU: Oh, thank you so much, Lady Azura! You— You don't know what this means to me! Or— I guess you do, but...
AZURA: How did you know I'd understand?
MOZU: ...Just a hunch, I reckon.
MOZU: Um, I'll go get some ink and paper to write it down for you!
AZURA: ...A hunch, huh?
