Music: Shine in the Light





AZURA: Dawn breaks through the gloom, white as a bone... ♪


AZURA: Lost in thoughts, all alo...


AZURA: ...


AZURA: Who's there? Is...is that you, Saizo?




KAGERO: It's actually me, milady. I'm surprised that you could detect my presence.


AZURA: Ah, Kagero. I suppose spending so many years around ninja has attuned me to their stealth.


KAGERO: Still, that is quite impressive. I am very glad you are not my enemy.


AZURA: Mm... And I'm very glad to hear that you think that. In any case, was there something you needed from me?


KAGERO: Ah, yes. There was, in fact. You see, I've always admired your talent for song- And not just your technical prowess.




KAGERO: Your singing often contains...layered, complex emotion that I find quite beautiful.


KAGERO: And there's something more to it, a special quality I can't articulate in words.


AZURA: Goodness, Kagero...


AZURA: I would never have guessed you'd given my singing so much thought. It's hardly as grand as you make it out to be.


KAGERO: I believe it is. And I'd like to try to capture those complexities, to the best of my ability.


KAGERO: War is hardly the best time to ask this, but... I was wondering if you'd allow me to create an artistic impression of your singing.


AZURA: Oh? Art of what kind?




KAGERO: ...I'm a painter, milady. I'd assumed you knew.


AZURA: I see... My apologies, I did not. I suppose I don't know you as well as I should...


KAGERO: There's no need to apologize. I know you prefer to keep to yourself.


KAGERO: Though, could you consider my request?


AZURA: Hmm... Well, I certainly don't have a problem with it. Seeing the result could be quite interesting.


KAGERO: Wonderful! I'll try my best to not let you down.


AZURA: I'm sure that you won't.


AZURA: Though, I have to wonder...




AZURA: How does one even create an impression of a song?


AZURA: It's not as if it's something I can sit and model for...


KAGERO: A fair question. Perhaps you could begin by simply singing something that comes to mind? Your choice.


AZURA: Very well... *ahem*




AZURA: You are the ocean's gray waves... ♪


KAGERO: (Heh... I can't say I'm surprised by that choice.)
