土 -- So I have brought her.
使 -- You are the Water Princess.
水 -- I am ... I am? What do you mean? And why?
観 -- We have waited a long time.
水 -- For what?
助 -- For you.
水 -- For what? You will wait longer. No one owns me. And putting children at risk is not part of any acceptable plan. It's not fair.
観 -- Putting children at risk?
使 -- We must consider this.
助 -- What is your opinion, Earth Prince?
土 -- I think that true helpers do not use coercion.
観 -- No one is being forced.
水 -- Nor do they rush things.
観 -- We are not rushing you, Water Princess. We are merely helping things along.
助 -- It is not time. Earth Prince is not ready.
観 -- How can it not be time, Earth Prince? You have finished three of your courses.
土 -- Earth Prince has other courses still to complete.
水 -- And Water Princess, if I am such, must also do certain things.
使 -- Water Princess has spoken, and Earth Prince concurs.
観 -- Must it be so?
助 -- It must.
観 -- So be it. We wait. How many days?
水 -- Five years.
観 -- Years?
使 -- Water Princess says years.
観 -- Do we have so much time?
助 -- Do we dare cut the natural course short?
使 -- We dare not.
観 -- The Prince and the Princess are resolute?
土 -- We are.
観 -- We must consult.
土 -- Those on the surface will be worrying.
助 -- You shall return.
土 -- Agreed.
使 -- Water Princess is not happy about this. Will you return?
水 -- I suppose I could.
