H-Hinata! [ Will she ever get used to being called on a hedgehog? Probably not. She's surprised to hear from him, but pleasantly so... she's happy that he's checking on her. ] Um... I'm all right. Bolin and Kija did a really good job... [ While she was the load. A little bit of guilt is probably evident in her voice. ]
[He does indeed pick up on that hint of guilt. Sakura, no....]
Don't sell yourself short. The fact that you made it out with them proves you did a good job, too. [Seriously, that dungeon was ridiculously hard.]
I was really wiped out after we got out of the dungeon yesterday, but I feel okay now. [Plus he also had an impromptu not!date with Setsuna, that player.....] I'm... actually proud of myself for making it through that. It wasn't easy at all. Although, I really hope the next one will be more... stable... [He doesn't want to repeat the experience of climbing a windy, collapsing tower with only one grappling hook ever again.]
I-I... I'm not sure... [ Aw, shucks, she really doesn't known what to do with praise, so she just sort of falls quiet and fidgets awkwardly. It's really nice of him to say, but... she really wasn't very useful at all! Or at least that's how she feels... which is why she wants to work harder on getting stronger.
But then she quickly latches onto happiness at his pride in himself—it was a pretty hard dungeon, so he must've done a good job! ]
Me too. I almost fell, and it was pretty scary... [ She wasn't quite ready for near death experiences just yet. ]
[Hinata can definitely empathize with her desire to get stronger, at least. He's tired of idly standing by and watching as his friends get hurt and waiting to be rescued. The ordeal he went through before ending up here has hardened his resolve, but in this place, he's been given the opportunity to better himself physically as well. That's one of the good things about this experience, he supposes.]
Yeah... I actually did fall off, but I was able to save myself with the grappling hook. It wasn't very fun. [That's a massive understatement, but he's trying to lighten up her mood a little here.]
Have you asked any of the more experienced Heroes here to train you yet?
[ Sakura makes the best person to tell stories to, because she gasps dramatically when he says he fell. He made it back up on his own, though! That's pretty impressive... ] W-Wow...
[ Mood lightened?? In any case, her expression transforms into a more determined one. ]
Mm... I asked Bolin and Setsuna to train me. I-I haven't started with Setsuna yet, but Bolin works really hard! I can't even do half of the things he does yet... [ Like lots of pushups... she can barely do one. ]
[Sakura, please stop being so cute... But he's a little surprised to hear Setsuna's name; he didn't know that she had met him, too.]
I've only met Bolin once, but he definitely looked like a really strong guy, so I wouldn't hold yourself up to his standard. [It's natural for girls to be weaker than guys, after all!!] And Seiei's the one who's been training me, actually; he can be harsh sometimes, but he's a really good teacher. And a good person, too. I definitely wouldn't have made it out of the dungeon if it weren't for his lessons.
[ Go ahead and tell her retainer Hana that girls are naturally weaker... she'll kick your butt, bud. Sakura is realistic, at least... she knows she likely won't be able to become as strong as Hinoka and Hana and especially Bolin... but she'd like to be able to do some pushups. ]
Oh, r-really? I didn't know Setsuna was training you too... maybe we can all train together! I'm going to start tomorrow.
