Azama: Greetings, Kiran! Ah, as busy as ever, I see. Why waste so much time strategising when you can do other things?
Kiran: Oh! Well, you see, this is all I can do on the battlefield. I cannot protect myself, so I learn how to strategise using the strengths of others.
Azama: Hmmm. Well, I didn't mean it in that way. You can afford to slack off, you know! Come, meditate with me.
Kiran: But...
Azama: Life is futile and wavering. People are prone to indulging in it as much as possible, yet I do not see this selfishness in you. Let me teach you about being selfish!
Kiran: Being taught to be selfish, huh...I never thought I'd hear this from a monk like yourself.
Azama: Hahaha! Well, I think you'll find that I am no ordinary monk.

Azama: Did you enjoy your meditation session the other day, Kiran?
Kiran: It certainly helped with the stress. I think it would be beneficial to fit it somewhere in my schedule.
Azama: You have a schedule?! This is far worse than I thought!
Kiran: If it's such a bad thing, why are you grinning from ear to ear?
Azama: Come on now, isn't it obvious? You're so uptight! Such mundane and tiresome measures to ensure that you do the very same thing every week.
Kiran: Well...do you have designated times for meditation?
Azama: I simply meditate in my spare time, if I am not healing.
Kiran: I see. Well if I do not organise a schedule then it would be harder on everyone else in the end, you see. Even you. I couldn't afford not being sufficient.
Azama: Well, I will still teach you how to ease up regardless! I think it would be a nice change of pace, considering you are already amusing to talk to. I wonder how you will cope with my relentless badgering on how to indulge?
Kiran: Hm...I don't like the look of this.

Azama: How are you enjoying your meal, Kiran?
Kiran: It's really good. Azama, you're such a good cook, but...
Azama: Hmm?
Kiran: Why are you doing all of this? I mean, the things people tell me about you...
Azama: Oh? Even in this realm it haunts me, I see...yes, I do have something of a bad reputation. But if you're so easily swayed by what others speak of me, then you are certainly in need of some enlightenment.
Kiran: I am sorry. I wasn't swayed, merely suspicious. Rest assured I haven't discarded you yet.
Azama: I am known for speaking the truth, really! I do not believe in a make-believe god or I will not heal a dying man, when my resources could be used on those who are able to be saved. I merely put smart decisions ahead of those born out of emotion. Does this shock you?
Kiran: No, that's respectable. But why are you a monk when you don't believe in a god?
Azama: Yeah, I have gotten this question before. It was simply easier for me, having been raised at a shrine. Why should I pray when meditation is far more beneficial for the soul?
Kiran: Haha. You sound somewhat contradictory...but I'll take your word for it.

Azama: Greetings!
Kiran: Good morning, Azama. Are you here to prod fun at my "strict" habits?
Azama: Well, actually...
Kiran: You seem lost for words...that's unlike you. What's the matter? I always have time for talk if you have an issue.
Azama: Well, I am lost for words. That's because I...well...
Kiran: Are you...blushing...?
Azama: ...I never imagined I would feel like this. It never even was a concept I bothered to think about, and yet it has happened. Hmmm.
Kiran: Please tell me what the matter is!
Azama: Well, you see, I've fallen in love with you.
Kiran: ?!
Azama: I love the face you have on you now! Oh- of course, not just because it's amusing me at this moment. You are a splendid person through and through, and I must say, I am so very charmed by your mysterious personality.
Kiran: I...don't know what to say, I suppose at the least I can return your feelings...
Azama: What do you mean?
Kiran: It means I love you too.
Azama: Well, we must prepare for marriage right away, then! Come on, to it!
Kiran: Why so impatient? Well, if you wish. Oh, Azama...hah.
