Right after Gura disappeared from Atlantis

Nora was on Patrol with a few Atlantean soldiers when she noticed something while crossing the bridge to the Capital.

A young Atlantean training with a trident beside the canal.
While walking, she observed the youngster as he determinedly swing and strike his trident around him.

Nora smiles proudly as she watches him until~

Kid: "*slice* Ah~!  . . . Tsk.... Ahhh~"

The youngster injures himself during his training.

Nora stops from walking and it caught the attention of one of her escorts.

Soldier: "General? What's wrong?"
Nora: ". . . Nothing you guys go ahead, I'll catch up"
Soldier: ". . . But General~"
Nora: "It's ok, It's nothing to worry about~"
Soldier: ". . . Understood~ I'll wait for you nearby"

The soldier salutes and leaves.

Meanwhile, the kid is in a slight panic and struggles to find anything to stop himself from bleeding.

Nora: "That's dangerous you know~"
Kid: "!? *startled*"
Nora: "If you want to train hard, you should use a training trident. . . Let me see your leg~"
Kid: "General Orca?! What brings you here?!~"
Nora: "Your leg~. . . up~."
Kid: "ah~ uhmm... *shows his wound*"

Nora pulls out bandages from her belt pouch

Kid: "I'm sorry you have to witness that clumsiness of mine General. . ."
Nora: "It's alright~ everyone started clumsy, even I did~"
Kid: "Even you? General?"
Nora: "mhmm! Even my best friend~"

While giving first aid, Nora was reminded of her past, training with Gura.

Nora: "*scoffs* She was even clumsier than you are, clumsier than anyone I know. But now she's the strongest Atlantean warrior around~"

Kid: "No way! I wish I could be like you guys!"

Nora: "You will be one of us~ just keep that fire fueled up. *pokes the kid's chest* And train properly. . . Not with this trident, tho~ Who's trident is this?"

Kid: "My fathers~"

???: "Cain!. . . Eh?! General! *salutes*"
Nora: "Ah~ I suppose this is the father, are you a soldier? ~"

Father: "Yes General! I'm currently on my day off, but what brings you here?"

Nora: "I just saw something worth giving praise~ . . . but he shouldn't be training with real tridents, he's too inexperienced to safely control that~"
