[Hinata is also proud of their victory, especially considering it was his first ever task as a warrior and despite his inexperience, he was able to perform well enough that even Lapis is telling him that they wouldn't have cleared the dungeon without him. It makes him feel like he really can get through this war, after all.]

Thanks, that really means a lot to me. I could say the same for you guys, though; your quick thinking and Slaine's magic were especially helpful during that fight with the three-headed dragon. If either one of you were missing, we would've been screwed.

[That's the sign of a really great team, right? Hinata helps himself to a few more pastries; they're just too good...]

How are you feeling, by the way? You're not too sore or anything?
