Xander: Hya! Hah! Hyaaa!!
Avatar: *yawn* Xander? You're not still training are you? You should get some rest.
Xander: Hm? Ah, Avatar. Thank you for your concern, but I haven't a moment to lose. I must keep improving my sword technique for the glory of Nohr. As crown prince, it is my responsibility to be as strong as I can for our people.
Avatar: Ha ha, even after all these years, you're still the same Xander.
Xander: Oh? How so?
Avatar: Remember when I was little, and I'd get so lonely in the Northern Fortress? You'd always come stay with me until I got sleepy and then go train late into the night.
Xander: You knew about that? But how?
Avatar: I could see you from my window. After you left, I always watched you train for a bit. It's a little embarrassing, but I'd even try to imitate how you swung your sword. I thought if I matched your movements, maybe one day I could be as strong as you.
Xander: I had no idea.
Avatar: I was always afraid if I told you about it, you might train elsewhere. Wow, thinking about all that is making me really nostalgic. Such great memories. You know...we've been so busy, we haven't had a chance to train together in a while. Um, if you're not too busy, maybe we could practice sword swinging like old times...
Xander: That's the best idea I've heard all day. But it can't be like old times. This time, you and I shall train side by side. No more lonely Northern Fortress for you.
Avatar: Ha ha, great! I'll grab my blade!

Xander: Hyaaa! Hah!
Avatar: At it again, Xander? Don't you ever sleep?
Xander: If I train while my enemies are sleeping, I shall always have the advantage.
Avatar: Mind if I join in? I had a great time training with you the other day.
Xander: I am always happy to have such a capable fighter aid me in my practice. ...
Avatar: Is something the matter? I understand if you'd prefer to be alone right now...
Xander: Oh no, not at all. I was just thinking about what you said the other day.
Avatar: What about it?
Xander: Exactly how much sleep did I cause you to lose because of my training? Thinking back, I recall how hard it was to get you up in the morning. Am I to blame?
Avatar: Ha ha, don't be silly. It's true I stayed up to watch, but it actually helped me sleep. Some people need to hear the ocean waves to lull themselves to sleep... I need to hear your powerful blade slicing through the night air. It's soothing. I know it sounds ridiculous, but watching you train always made me feel safe.
Xander: Truly? Well, I suppose if that's the case I shall forgive us both.
Avatar: ... Um, Xander? Is something else on your mind? You look troubled.
Xander: Am I such an open book to you?
Avatar: You're swinging your sword so fiercely today, with a wild look in your eyes. It's the same look you always had on nights when you and Father would argue.
Xander: ... You're too clever for your own good, Avatar. I have much on my mind, but I have no regrets about the decisions I've made. Like you, I am proceeding down the path I believe in, no matter the consequences.
Avatar: Oh, so that's it. Sorry, maybe I shouldn't have asked. It's just so nice to hear what's on your mind instead of wondering from afar.
Xander: Worry not, little prince. I have enjoyed our discourse as well. But the hour is getting late. Let's finish up so we can rest for tomorrow's endeavors.
Avatar: OK. This time I'm going to beat you!

Xander: Ah, Avatar. I've been waiting for you. I knew you'd turn up eventually.
Avatar: Ugh, am I that predictable? Oh well. Shall we begin?
Xander: Certainly. ... Avatar... Did you mean it when you said you prefer to hear what's on my mind?
Avatar: I meant it with all my heart.
Xander: I see... Well, I suppose I owe you the courtesy of explaining a thing or two. You were right about me taking out my anger at Father during my training. Sometimes being crown prince means following the king's orders no matter what. But there were times when I felt his commands crossed a line. Sometimes it didn't feel like he was trying to benefit the kingdom at all, just himself. Having to do things I didn't believe in weighed heavily on my heart. Now I'm wise enough and brave enough to stand up to Father. But back then... Those were the nights you spoke of, when I swung my blade like a wild beast.
Avatar: Xander...
Xander: I never thought I'd tell you that. I always tried to shield you from such things. A sword is a strange and beautiful thing... Sometimes just one swing of your blade can communicate more than a lifetime of words. Thank you for listening, Avatar. Both to my blade back then and my words now.
Avatar: No need to thank me. I didn't do anything but listen. And pry.
Xander: You did more than you know. It's thanks to you...that I don't feel alone anymore.
Avatar: Xander... It means the world to me to hear you say that. You saved me from my own loneliness when I was a child, locked away from the world... I'm so happy to finally repay the favor. It was always my dearest wish to do so. If you ever feel like talking, about anything, I'm always here for you.
Xander: I don't wish for you to lose sleep over my troubles...
Avatar: I've been losing sleep over you for years now, ha ha. It's my favorite tradition.
Xander: As you wish, Avatar. From now on I promise to let you in.
