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.)
