A solitary knight of the Black Lion Nation, known for her unrivaled skill with the sword. As she trains by the lake, she receives word that forces are mobilizing.- From "A Wartime of Farewells"
Breaktime
Claudine:*hum hum hum*
Claudine:Oh! How long have you been there? I'm sorry, was I too loud?
Claudine:What was I doing? I was listening to my favorite gamelan music.
Claudine:You've got to get plenty of rest on days off. Only then will you have the energy to do your best on the stage.
Claudine:Taking breaks is an important part of practice. That's true for you as well, isn't it?
Claudine:I know you're working hard until late to put together our shows... But please do remember to rest on your days off.
Claudine:Huh? You want to listen to my music? No problem.
Claudine:Here, use this earphone.
Claudine:......
Claudine:............
Claudine:Nice, isn't it? It has this exotic feel to it.
Claudine:What's that? You're not sure how to take a break? I understand.
Claudine:When I first started working, all I could do was fret on my days off.
Claudine:You need to have an on and off switch for work-mode. Find a hobby besides performing.
Claudine:You know, just use different muscles, or a different part of your brain.
Claudine:It's a very stoic approach? Haha, that's true!
Claudine:I can help you find an off-switch.
Claudine:Why don't you try cooking, like Nana?
Claudine:Or cleaning, like Mahiru?
Claudine:You could also just do nothing at all, like Karen.
Claudine:Now that I started thinking about it, I can't stop coming up with more and more ideas. How about--
Claudine:That's enough? No, come on. We have to keep at it until we find you a hobby!
Real Fight
Claudine:Ha! Hyaaah!
Futaba:Take that! Phew... Let's take a quick break, Clau.
Claudine:Okay. That was a good workout! Thank you for practicing swordfighting with me, Futaba.
Futaba:I should be thanking you! You're a lifesaver, Clau.
Futaba:But you're really serious about this fight scene.
Claudine:Part of the appeal of "The Wartime of Farewells" is the fighting scenes, so it's only natural.
Claudine:...Besides, I don't want to be outdone by Tendou Maya and Kaoruko.
Futaba:Their fight scene is the climax of the play...
Futaba:Yeah. we can't lose to them.
Claudine:That's right. I want to play our battle scene so well everyone will forget about the two leads.
Claudine:After all, I've got you, Futaba. No one can outshine you when it comes to sword fighting.
Futaba:Whoa, what's with the praise, Clau?
Claudine:It's just what I think. Anyway, it's all about contrast, don't you think?
Futaba:What do you mean?
Claudine:You need variety to make a performance compelling.
Claudine:What do you think about Tendou Maya's fighting style?
Futaba:Well...It's graceful and beautiful. Makes me think of a swan.
Claudine:And Kaoruko?
Futaba:Her fighting's refined, too. She fights like she's dancing.
Futaba:Their battle scene will be like a beautiful dance of swords.
Claudine:So that means...
Futaba:Our fight has to be high-octane!
Claudine:C'est ca! That's the concept I want to roll with.
Claudine:The knight of the Black Lion Nation that I'm playing and your knight of the Sun Nation are fierce rivals.
Claudine:They can't wait to cross swords in battle.
Claudine:So come at me like you mean it, Futaba.
Futaba:...You sure?
Claudine:Of course, I'll get angry if you pull any punches.
Futaba:All right, but you have to do the same, too!
Claudine:I will. Here I come! Haaah!
Claudine:It’s a sad story about friends falling out…If only they made up at the end.
Claudine:I'd like your advice about this one battle scene. About how I should move, or what would look cool.
Claudine:So lend me a hand with practice, will you? Here, hold this weapon.
Claudine:...You've got to be kidding me. You don't know how to use it?
Claudine:I'll have to teach you, I guess! I don't go easy on people when I practice, so watch out!
