[ Looks like they really are thinking of the same girl. Setsuna nods to acknowledge the statement, solidifying the fact. It makes sense that she would have a retainer or two (maybe more), considering that Sakura is a princess.
Setsuna can't help but recall their first meeting. Sakura was crying back then, and his heart fell as he heard her lonely voice. But now she doesn't have to be anymore. He's sure that Subaki must be very worried about her, so he won't hold him back. ]
If you wish to contact her, I recommend calling her through your Carrier. Her ID is "Sakura."
[ Subaki looks at his bird then back at Setsuna then back at the bird again. Something isn't adding up here. How does he call through the bird? As much as it pains him to admit that he's ignorant about something, it's also rather apparent the bird has no means of summoning Sakura. ]
...Do you mean I write a letter and send it to her with it tied to the bird's talon?
[ He lifts the bird up, trying to examine it closely, making extra sure he didn't just miss a very important detail when he got here. ]
How would it know where her location is? It's not quite trained for tracking.
[ That statement isn't completely wrong, but what Setsuna really meant is... ]
You may also send her a letter through the Carrier, however they are capable of other features. They have a magical means of communicating to other Carriers. If you request your Carrier to call a particular ID for instance, it will proceed to do so.
[ It's easier to try it out than to hear an explanation like this, so Setsuna will let Subaki do so... Well, whenever he decides to later on. ]
[ That makes very little sense, but rather than continue to admit that he's ignorant in these ways, he puts on a show of understanding. Yes, he will try and figure it out for himself later. It shouldn't be difficult for him. He is quite intelligent and crafty, after all. There is nothing beyond his skill that he can't accomplish. ]
Of course, of course. Very well. I will contact her carrier directly later then.
[ When he's not in front of everyone and embarrassing himself. ]
Was she well when you last spoke to her? You're among the first of her companions I have met.
[ And he seems like a decent enough young man. Certainly better than most of the other people he's met here so far. He imagines they got along quite well as Sakura is very kind and amicable towards others. ]
[ Poor Subaki... But it's okay, Setsuna would've understood regardless. He personally had to undergo such an intense learning curve when he first arrived, as it was even more baffling for someone from a highly technological world without magic. Almost everything shocked him, but it wasn't anything he couldn't adjust to.
But even after staying here for so long, there are still so many things Setsuna has never heard of... So even today, he himself is still constantly learning about this world. For the meantime though, there's a more important topic at hand... ]
She is doing well, yes. I am a little worried however, as she has a tendency to push herself too hard. But I have been doing what I can.
[ While he's glad Sakura had someone here to look after her, he can't help feel a bit of guilt. It's not as though he'd been intentionally negligent, but he also wanted to be there for her, assisting her. That's not a responsibility that should fall on anyone else's hands. ]
There's no longer any need for you to take on the burden now that I am here.
[ He'll have to make certain she's kept in good spirits and taken care of, but at least, she hadn't been entirely alone and without friends. That's one relief. Well, he assumes they're just friends anyway. He didn't detect anything alarming from him. ]
Rather, I should offer my gratitude for looking after her in my absence. Without me by her side to protect her, I was concerned how she fared, but I may have under-estimated her a bit.
[ What a shameful thing to admit. He needs to have more faith in her. Naturally, she's very competent, charming, and resourceful young lady. He's just so used to taking care of all the minute details for her. ]
[ Burden... Setsuna pauses a little to hear that, wondering if he considers that a burden. A few seconds later, he shakes his head to indicate that he doesn't think so. ]
It is fine. She is not a burden to me.
[ But the other point is true. Now that Subaki is here, Setsuna can feel more at ease. He'll be able to take care of Sakura much better than he ever could... From how he looks and sounds, this person is undoubtedly her trusted guardian. He just has a strong feeling about his gentle aura. He looks quite different when he's talking about the princess.
To witness Subaki look so worried about her... Setsuna knows he can trust his instincts about it. ]
... She has been working very hard, not just in order to help others, but also to change herself.
As she would. She's quite strong deep inside, stronger than I could ever be. She's well-admired back home, too, not only by us her retainers but also the villagers.
[ It's why they're all so devoted to her -why he himself is so devoted. She's selfless and amazing throughout. It's good to see that everyone else realizes too and knows how special she is. He does feel more relieved after speaking with Setsuna, but he's already lingered enough away from his task. He must continue to search for the princess and not continuously become distracted. ]
I appreciate all the information. I should hope we will meet again soon once I've found her. Then we can be more properly introduced to one another.
[ He bows to show his gratitude, the movement elegant and sweeping before he fixes up his suit and tries to ignore all the pastries lingering there... uneaten.

Until later... he thinks. Solemnly.
Now, back to his search! ]
