[ He's always here for her. What a silly question. ]
What can I do for you, my lady? Do you require fresh linens or a snack?

N-No, nothing like that.
[ She sounds happy, her spirits still soaring with the arrival of her brothers and Subaki. There's some fondness in her voice too—she knows she's not a very demanding liege, but there's something nice about the fact that Subaki always offers, and that hasn't changed. ]
I promised that I would show you around, didn't I? I know you've probably acquainted yourself with the Hall of Glory already [ because that's just how he is ], but maybe I can help a little...

[ He's glad she's in a good mood as it's quite infectious. Subaki is also trying to keep his spirits high in the midst of all his newfound duties here. They're not the most enlightening or exciting, but someone has to do them. ]
I'd be honored to have you show me around and to meet more of your friends. I've come to know a few already.
[ Most of whom he wasn't fond of... ]
I trust your judgement, but perhaps, you should be a bit more prudent over who you keep company with here.

[ He hears the worry in her voice and knows better than to exacerbate things, so he quickly tries to placate her. ]
Nothing in particular. There were a few troublesome people I met at the ball but nothing I couldn't handle. Should they approach you, I will see to it that they are taken care of.

[ Just testing it out... ]
Su.. ba.. ki....!
[ oh! there it goes! ]
Ha, ha ha! It worked. I was wondering how Laslow did it... Subaki, are you standing outside the door again?
[ Fortunately for Subaki, he's not at his room yet to check. ]

[ And she hears the placation in his voice, making the edges of her mouth turn down in a pout frown. Subaki... he always tries to shoulder everything himself... she wants to help—especially now, when she's in the unique position of actually being useful to him with her experience here. ]
If something's troubling you, I want you to be able to tell me.

Good evening, my lord.
[ Yes, he is, but he'll just casually shift the conversation away from that. ]
-Oh? I wasn't aware Lord Xander's retainer was here. Is he the only Nohrian around? I have tried to take account of those from our world, but some are more prone to hermitage than expected.
[ Meaning he hasn't spotted them in all the thousands of locations he's explored since arrival, so they were probably hiding in an obscure closet somewhere. Either way, the Nohrians aren't really much of his concern. ]

The only matter troubling me is that I have yet to find a way to get you back to our world. For that, I ask your forgiveness. I've been researching it during my spare time, but there is no clear resolution.
[ So far, he's learned that those who have disappeared have been randomized at best, though it's likely they may have suffered a worse fate. Nobody knows exactly what happened to them and where they went. ]

Subaki, hey! Laslow isn't the only one- he found me through the carrier! But it isn't just him- Niles is here too! He's my brother Leo's retainer... I haven't gotten to see him much what with everything that's happened, but they both seem to be okay. I met Niles the day of the ball, actually...
[ He sounds happy about it, at least. Subaki would know otherwise about his interactions, seeing he's been looking out for him, though naturally he isn't with him all the time, much to everyone's relief. ]
But that isn't the point! The neighbors think you're weird, standing outside all the time. Have you even sat down yet?

[ Well, at least, he can comfortably say that Niles is no longer his least favorite person in the universe after meeting someone else far less palatable, but being his second least favorite person is still a terrible place to be. ]
Were they at least allies to you? In my own memories, you had just convinced them to join your cause.
[ Hopefully, they share the same memories, or Subaki really will have to keep an eye on Corrin. ]
I don't know what you mean. I'm only fulfilling my duty as Princess Sakura's retainer.

[ Oh, that... she gets the distinct feeling that Subaki is trying to change the subject, but she doesn't want to push him on it. This is another troubling matter anyway, and she's not surprised that it's bothering him. ]
I tried to look into it too... but I didn't hear anything promising. Blanc has researchers studying it, but they still don't know what brings us here or sends us back.

[ It is strange indeed, but Subaki isn't the type to rest or give up. It's imperative he works to get them all back home, but he also doesn't want to stress Sakura out about that. She should enjoy herself a little more here. ]
Please leave the research to me. You said you wanted to go out. Perhaps, you can show me the marketplace. I've made quite a bit already doing jobs here and there.
[ More like doing ALL THE JOBS. But at least he's been efficient about it. ]

[ He nods- but then realizing Subaki can't see that, he speaks aloud. ]
Yeah, they are... they remembered the same thing as us. So we're on the same side, all of us!
[ He sounds happy about it, though he puffs his cheeks a bit at Subaki's words. ]
Being Sakura's retainer doesn't mean depriving yourself of rest. How do you intend to focus if you're tired?

[ He sounds happy about it, though he puffs his cheeks a bit at Subaki's words. ]
Being Sakura's retainer doesn't mean depriving yourself of rest. How do you intend to focus if you're tired?
Of course, not. This is practically a fraction of what I used to do back in our world.
[ More like he's doing three times the work since he has three royals he needs to look after, but no one needs to know that. ]
And for you, I am always free. Shall I meet you outside your room?
[ More like he's doing three times the work since he has three royals he needs to look after, but no one needs to know that. ]

That is a relief. I wouldn't want to have to fight our own allies unnecessarily.
[ Clearly, he'd win though. No question about that. ]
And who said I was tired? My energy is limitless. I am barely even winded.
[ He knows Corrin can't see him, but he's still flicking his hair over his shoulder, looking unruffled. ]

You can't keep doing this to yourself...
[ Now he sounds exasperated. ]
You're doing way too much work for one person, Subaki. I'm worried you're going to collapse. You barely even noticed when Asal ate through the seat of your pants while you nodded off. I put a cloth there for you, so I don't think anyone noticed...
[ Yes, Subaki, he caught you "resting your eyes" when he went off to brush his teeth. He just hopes he hasn't been walking around with that hanky pinned to his butt. ]

...You did what?!
[ Yes, yes he has apparently. He didn't even notice that at all. Did he really nod off?? Why is the dragon eating his pants?? Doesn't he feed that creature? Ugh. Uggggggh. What a disaster. Not only did he fall asleep on the job, Corrin snuck up on him and let his dragon ruin his nicely tailored pants that he spent all morning removing every wrinkle from. ]
E-excuse me, my lord. I must cut this conversation short. It's an emergency.
[ He has to fix his pants nowand cry. ]

Well, I couldn't let you run around with your underwear showing! But I had to run, too! I needed to help someone out. You snored at me when I told you to have a good day, too.
[ The dragon eats what the dragon wants. ]
Wait, don't go! I bought you a new pair. I'm almost there, too...
[ The dragon eats what the dragon wants. ]

-S-snored?! I don't snore! How could such a terrible sound come out of my mouth!?
[ Blasphemy. He refuses to believe him until there is irrefutable proof. Even then, he'll find some way to deny it. This whole experience is already embarrassing enough. ]
I don't need a new pair! I can easily repair it, too. Don't trouble yourself, my lord!!
[ Don't come see his shame like this. ]

Subaki, it's normal for people to snore... you clearly haven't been resting enough, or you wouldn't have.
[ He actually doesn't mean to traumatize the guy like this, it's just... simple facts. ]
... I'm here, though. And you're still standing there too. What a relief. I'm sure no one else saw you...
[ And carrier turned off, good boy, pet pet- he holds up a brand new pair of pants for his dearwife friend. ]
Here you go. My roommates aren't in, so you should get into that quickly.
[ He's opening the door for him so he can follow! ]

[IT HAS BEEN SOME TIME, and she wonders how this knight has been fairing ever since. Since you know, he wasn't as relaxed as he could've been, she figured. That and with a battle coming up, she wonders again how he feels about fighting this world. But only if the moment asks for such questions.
And since they've traded contact details, why not? When he connects--]
Hello, Subaki?

Hello, Subaki?
[ Oh my. This is his first time using the video function, so he does take some time primping his hair and appearance before answering. Look at his shiny teeth. His glossy locks. Look at them!! ]
If it isn't Vietnam. How may I assist you this evening?
