One of the birds out the window sits on a branch and watches her curiously. "That was the best sleep I had in a long time..." She gets dressed and heads on out the door, into the hall, seeing Garu passing by. "Garu! Garu! I had the best sleep I've ever had ever! It's because you were protecting me all night long. I wasn't scared because I knew I'd be safe with you around."
He laughs a bit and smiles. "Good. I'm glad you got some sleep. It looks like you're feeling and doing much better than the other night."
"Yeah, there used to be a scary monster that always wandered the halls at night where I lived."
"Opulentus allows monsters to roam its halls...?"
"Mmm hmm." She nods her head seriously and Garu looks at her, slightly confused. "It was terrifying..."
Oh no, I seem to have upset her."Well, nothing you need to worry about now, right? I'm here to protect you and I promise you there aren't any monsters that can hurt you on my watch."
Luna brightens up again and gives Garu a hug. "Yay! I'm so happy! Thank you! You're a really good friend, Garu."
Garu stares at her as she hugs him, slightly surprised. "Er...yes. You are welcome." He then returns a rather awkward hug.
Garu and Luna achieved support rank B!www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrUDtnL1bo0"HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!" Kit comes barreling down the street toward Jess while she's helping carry some boxes around for Kress.
"Hu-BWAH!?" Kit stops just inches away from Jess' face, staring her in the eyes.
"..."
"Can I help you?" Jess steps back slightly and Kit follows, stepping ahead to get back in her face again. "You're that cat Laguz, right? Uh, nice to meet you."
"..." Kit continues to stare and slowly reaches out a single hand before poking Jess' nose. "...Boop."
"...? What the...?" Jess stands there, dumbfounded as Kit seems to be very closely studying her reaction.
"Hmm...I see." She nods and then seems satisfied. "Okay. You can go now."
"What...?" Kit then wanders off, leaving Jess behind.
"What a weird girl..."
Kit and Jess achieve relationship rank C!www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJmqrzsY-Q8Kress walks along the street and notices Bunbun carrying what seems to be a giant barrel of carrots. "Hm...? Bunbun, these wouldn't happen to all be yours, would they?"
"Oh, hi Kress. Nope, these aren't mine at all."
"...! Thievery? I'd expect better from a noble warrior."
"Huh!? No, they aren't stolen! A farmer asked me to carry these for her. She looked really tired from all her work, so I said why not?"
"Ah, I see. I thought you were performing some sort of Taguel warrior training exercise."
"Um...no, not really. I just like helping people."
"Then what do you do for training? Taguel are one of our nations proudest warriors. You have both honor and strength. I expect only the highest standards from you, yes?"
"Uh, what? Training...uh...right. I'll...show you how I train sometime? Maybe later?"
"Of course, I dare not question a powerful warrior when he's in the middle of an important mission. I will return to you later and see just what kind of training you do every day to reach such levels of mental and physical power."
"Uh...Kress, you know I don't actually tra- Kress? Oh, she's gone. This barrel is getting...heavy..."

"Whew, I'm exhausted. If I keep this up, I'm on the right path to being a great knight." He watches the birds fly overhead and the Taguel go about their lives peacefully. "It's so calm and quiet...I love it."
"GARREN!"
"Oh gods, no." Seraphim comes walking in, searching around the area for Garren.
"WE WEREN'T FINISHED TRAINING! WE STILL NEED AT LEAST FIFTY MORE LAPS AROUND THE TOWN."
Garren quickly looks around before jumping up in a tree to avoid Seraphim.
"...? Garren's armor is sitting here. Which means either he's slacking off or..." She then holds his armor and shouts. "HE'S BEEN KIDNAPPED BY BANDITS!?"
"...Uh oh."
"I WILL FIND YOU AND TEAR YOU APART MYSELF, BANDITS. NOBODY TOUCHES MY STAR PUPIL! EVEN IF I HAVE TO RAVAGE THIS WHOLE VILLAGE JUST TO FIND GARREN, I'LL DO IT!"
He quickly drops out of the tree, next to Seraphim. "Whoa, whoa, calm down! I'm right here, it's okay."
"Oh, Garren! I'm so glad you're alright!" She moves in like she's going to give him a hug, but grabs his arm and starts dragging him away while holding his armor in the other hand. "NOW WE CAN FINISH OUR TRAINING, YOU LAZY LAYABOUT!"
"Oh...no..."
"WAS THAT HESITATION!?"
"OH NO!"
"THAT'S MORE LIKE IT! STAR PUPIL MY ASS! SKIPPING OUT ON TRAINING IS JUST SAD! THAT'S DOUBLE THE LAPS FOR YOU!"
"SOMEBODY SAVE ME FROM THIS MADWOMAN!"
Seraphim and Garren reach support rank B!www.youtube.com/watch?v=44lOWc2Vs3M"You there."
"...Me?" Uragiru turns and notices Kaiz pointing to him.
"Yes, you. Something's up with you, but I don't know what it is."
"...I don't think I know what you're talking about."
"Last night, you knew the enemy commander by name. And he knew you. Explain that."
"I simply used to live in Opulentus. That is all."
"Hmm...If that's all, then why would he know your name?"
"...I said that was all. I am not obligated to tell you anything of my past."
"You have scars on your face. Where did those come from?"
"I said it was none of your business. The point is that I am here to fight on your side. Isn't that all that matters?"
"Maybe. But if the princess dies, I lose my entire paycheck. I can't let that happen. So maybe it IS my business what your past is. How am I to know you aren't a spy? An assassin? Some petty thief?"
"I have had enough of your baseless accusation. I am leaving. Do not speak to me any longer." Uragiru walks away quickly, not looking back.
"So he is hiding something. I have to investigate this further..."

"Argentum! Interesting that we should meet here! I was just thinking about you!"
"Oh, and what kind of thinking would that be?"
"You are the Kitsune prince, aren't you? Your culture is incredibly fascinating. Please, if you could, teach me about it."
"That is an...interesting request." He finishes purchasing a few goods from a stall and looks over at Faron. "But I am not entirely sure where to start with that one."
"Well anywhere is fine. I'm just interested in it all. Your buildings, your social interaction, your clothes..."
"Alright then. I guess I can help with that. But this isn't some convoluted scheme to become my friend, is it?"
"Oh, of course not! I wouldn't mind being friends though."
"Good! Because I have no intention of doing so. It's nothing personal, Beorc, but I simply refuse to be close to any of your disgusting kind."
"...Wow, that was blatantly racist."
"Well, I really must be going now. But do not worry, your lessons shall start soon." Argentum walks off with his newly bought things and Faron stands there, watching as he walks off.
"That was so strange. I thought he enjoyed my company. What could make him hate me so? Just for being a Beorc?"
Faron and Argentum reach relationship level C!
