Benkei Musashibo
Lord Shanao is lucky to have a vassal as dedicated as you are.
Shungen
A vassal? Hmmm, yeah, I could see how it looks that way...
Shungen
But I don't think Shana's ever thought of me that way, not even once.
Benkei Musashibo
Oh? So, you have no ties to the Genji then?
Shungen
Well, not exactly. My father served under Shana's father, Lord Yoshitomo.
Shungen
But Shana and I are not like our fathers. We grew up together, separated from a master-servant relationship.
Shungen
I'm determined to protect Shanao, but it's not because I'm some servant.
Benkei Musashibo
I see.
Shungen
(In fact, what would I call our relationship? Childhood friends is not quite right...it's something more...)
Shungen
(Pledging allegiance to Shana as her vassal... Will it ever really come to that?)
Shungen
(At that time...will I still be able to stay by Shana's side?)
Shanao
Agh...ngh...
Shanao
(I hear someone... Whose voice is that?)
Shanao
Shungen?
Shungen
Oh, you're awake? How are you feeling? Are you hurt?
Shanao
No...I'm fine, it's just... Shungen, why are you up?
Before I could finish asking the question it all came back to me, the long night chasing Benkei and fighting with the Heike.
Shanao
(I jumped into the river but...I don't remember anything after that. I must have blacked out...)
Shanao
I'm sorry! Really, I'm fine, I can walk now.
Shungen
I can tell just by looking at you that you're feeling better. Alright then, down you go.
