Reflection: Swords of Mind/Supports/Yuyuko

==Yuyuko and Sanae==
===Rank C===
*Yuyuko: Now, then! The recipe says that it serves four, and judging how many of us there are… it'd be best to make the recipe about six times. But then again, Byakuren's a vegetarian, so I won't need to make any for her… oh, I'll just make it six times anyway. They won't mind having a bit more on their plate, will they?
*Sanae: Yuyuko?
*Yuyuko: What is it, Sanae?
*Sanae: There's a letter addressed to you.
*Yuyuko: Who do you think it's from?
*Sanae: Do I look like a psychic?
*Yuyuko: You don't like a psychic, no. But do you recognise the handwriting?
*Sanae: Not at all! I've never seen anything like it!
*Yuyuko: Well then, I guess that I have no choice but to open it. Let's see… "Dear Yuyuko…"
*Sanae: "…you have won first prize in our most amazing competition."
*Yuyuko: That was a competition?
*Sanae: What competition are they talking about?
*Yuyuko: Oh, just answering one little question. "Who is your favourite character from this book and why?"
*Sanae: Can I see your answer?
*Yuyuko: Of course you can. Though, I do have to concentrate on dinner...
*Sanae: Oh, right. In that case, I'll ask for the answer in the morning.
*Yuyuko: You can ask me at dinner, can't you?
*Sanae: I don't want you to have to show it to me at the dinner table.
*Yuyuko: Okay. You can wait until morning, right?
*Sanae: Of course!
===Rank B===
*Sanae: "Who is your favourite character from this book and why?"… why would you make a competition out of a question like that? I can hardly see what it would take to give a winning answer…
*Yuyuko: I've found it, Sanae! I've found it!
*Sanae: That's good! Here, let me see it!
*Yuyuko: Oh, but first, I need to tell you what book this was for.
*Sanae: I'm all ears.
*Yuyuko: The Golden Bookstore.
*Sanae: I've never heard of that book.
*Yuyuko: It's… about a girl who has a compelling need to collect every book in the world.
*Sanae: I see. Now, who's your favourite character?
*Yuyuko: It would have to be the main character, Beatrix.
*Sanae: Beatrix? As in Beatrix Potter?
*Yuyuko: No, not Beatrix Potter. Though that is who the character is based on…
*Sanae: Okay then. Now, would you mind letting me see why you like her so much?
*Yuyuko: Of course you can… oh my word, look at the time, we need to be seated for lunch!
*Sanae: (Oh, not again…)
===Rank A===
*Yuyuko: Sanae?
*Sanae: Yuyuko? You've come to tell me why you like Beatrix?
*Yuyuko: Yes. Now, where did I put that…
*Sanae: It's in my hands right now.
*Yuyuko: Ah. That certainly makes things simpler…
*Sanae: "Beatrix is my favourite character from "The Golden Bookstore" because of the way she is portrayed as relatable and very easy to believe as a character."
*Yuyuko: Yes, that's the main reason why I like her.
*Sanae: Because you relate to her?
*Yuyuko: Of course I do. Particularly regarding that scene where she wants to take all of the books out of her house to clear out the clutter…
*Sanae: Have YOU ever wanted to take out every book in your house?
*Yuyuko: Not books, necessarily, but clutter for certain.
*Sanae: What kind of clutter?
*Yuyuko: Finished cups of herbal tea, for starters. Believe me, I could have a hundred cups out and still take my time in clearing them up…
*Sanae: Uh, Yuyuko?
*Yuyuko: What is it, Sanae?
*Sanae: I flicked through your answer, and it… takes up forty pages!
*Yuyuko: Well, they didn't give us a word limit…
*Sanae: Maybe everyone else thought there WAS a word limit. That might explain why you won the competition.
*Yuyuko: I'm sure the competition managers wouldn't discriminate against short explanations…
*Sanae: I certainly would.
==Yuyuko and Reimu==
===Rank C===
*Reimu: Let's see. I could re-organise my spell books or I can clear the table. Though, I suppose that it's my job to clear the table today… so I'll need to reschedule-
*Yuyuko: Reimu?
*Reimu: Hello, Yuyuko.
*Yuyuko: That table isn't going to clear itself, you know.
*Reimu: I know. In fact, I was just thinking about whether or not I should prioritise clearing it.
*Yuyuko: As far as I see it, you should always prioritise the jobs laid in front of you.
*Reimu: Though that leaves the jobs that I've given myself to be saved for later.
*Yuyuko: I suppose that would leave you to decide for yourself.
*Reimu: Right… and like you said, this table won't clear itself. I'd best get started.
*Yuyuko: …my, that was quick. You cleared that table in… let's see…
*Reimu: Three minutes. I would say that this is my personal best… though a lot of people cleared up for themselves today.
*Yuyuko: Oh? How many?
*Reimu: Well, Lucina's lot always clean their own tableware. Miko and Byakuren also like to clear up for themselves…
*Yuyuko: Yes, yes, but how many cleared for themselves today?
*Reimu: I didn't see anything at Oboro's seat today… so she must have cleaned up herself. Not to mention-
*Yuyuko: Oboro? Clearing up her own tableware?
*Reimu: Is that really so surprising?
*Yuyuko: Yes, it is! She's the messiest girl I've ever met - and this is the same camp with Hinata and Nazrin, let's not forget.
*Reimu: Yes, but Hinata isn't a-
*Yuyuko: I might be inclined to believe that this is witchcraft! We'll have to find Oboro, and cleanse her of whatever has taken her over!
*Reimu: …and there she goes. For a queen, she certainly is exuberant…
===Rank B===
*Yuyuko: Well, Reimu, it turns out that there was no witchcraft within Oboro.
*Reimu: What about Nazrin and Hinata?
*Yuyuko: Mice are allowed to be strange, but Hinata… whatever witchcraft there is in him, I'll never be able to cure it.
*Reimu: Do you know any way to cure witchcraft?
*Yuyuko: Well, I…
*Reimu: Come to think of it, Yuyuko?
*Yuyuko: Yes?
*Reimu: What did Adeleine do when she broke a bone in her leg the other day?
*Yuyuko: She hopped over to me and asked for a treatment… really, Reimu, where is this going?
*Reimu: She though you were a NURSE, Yuyuko! That you, of all people, were the best at fixing broken bones!
*Yuyuko: Do I really look like a nurse?
*Reimu: Well, you did treat Adeleine's broken bone in the end…
*Yuyuko: No, I didn't! I passed her on to Nazrin so that she could heal her instead!
*Reimu: …and who says that a mouse knows anything about fixing broken bones?
*Yuyuko: Well, she is a Dowser.
*Reimu: Right, and Dowsers use staffs… AHA!
*Yuyuko: What is it, Reimu?
*Reimu: You really DON'T know anything about healing people, do you, Yuyuko?
*Yuyuko: Sadly, no. I couldn't even use a staff if I was conscripted to.
*Reimu: Well, it's not that hard. All you need to do is… oh, is that the time? We can't talk now, Yuyuko. We have to get to the lunch table.
===Rank A===
*Reimu: Now I'll just put this here… and this here… and I'm done!
*Yuyuko: Clearing the table again, Reimu?
*Reimu: Yes, clearing the table.
*Yuyuko: Wasn't it Hinata's turn to clear the table again?
*Reimu: He couldn't be asked. So I pitched in for him.
*Yuyuko: Ah. Now, how quickly did you clear the table today?
*Reimu: Three and a half minutes. Though hardly anyone cleared up for themselves today.
*Yuyuko: I see… and by the way, Reimu?
*Reimu: Yes?
*Yuyuko: Three people asked me if I was a nurse today.
*Reimu: Did they really?
*Yuyuko: Yes, they did! And when I asked Oboro why this was, she told me that I'm the spitting image of a nurse!
*Reimu: To be honest, you look more like a shrine maiden than anything else…
*Yuyuko: A shrine maiden? Are you suggesting that we should become co-workers?
*Reimu: Well, I don't think I really need a co-worker right now…
*Yuyuko: Oh?
*Reimu: …because my shrine is bankrupt beyond recovery.
*Yuyuko: …and it will likely become even more bankrupt while you're out fighting.
*Reimu: You're right. Those darn Einherji and Jambastion! How dare they separate me from tending to the shrine!
*Yuyuko: The shrine which is bankrupt beyond recovery, as you said.
*Reimu: Yes. Bankrupt beyond recovery. Come to think of it, I might take a little Silver out of our savings to help with its upkeep…
*Yuyuko: I thought that this Silver belongs to all of us?
*Reimu: Oh, so it does. Though, what would you say is a better use for the Silver? Buying weapons, or repairing a bankrupt-beyond-repair shrine?
*Yuyuko: Buying weapons for certain.
*Reimu: You're right. In fact, if a shrine is bankrupt beyond repair, why am I bothering helping its upkeep?
*Yuyuko: Your guess is as bad as mine.
==Yuyuko and Marisa==
===Rank C===
*Yuyuko: Now, then, the cherry blossom tree goes here… the chamomile goes here… the mirror goes here…
*Marisa: Hey, Yuyuko! I need to ask you something!
*Yuyuko: …the book goes in the bookshelf… the pillow goes on the bed…
*Marisa: YUYUKO!
*Yuyuko: Gah! Marisa, do you mind? This is my bedroom, after all.
*Marisa: Does it matter? I'm trying to ask you to do something for me?
*Yuyuko: Well, that will have to wait until I've finished doing room service, won't it?
*Marisa: You're doing room service in your OWN bedroom?
*Yuyuko: Yes. It's self-sufficient.
*Marisa: Whatever. I've still got something to ask of you, ya know.
*Yuyuko: Well, it can wait until I get to room service on your room.
*Marisa: It's urgent! I need you to strip my bed for me!
*Yuyuko: …ah, so that's what you needed me for? Well, I find that rather pointless.
*Marisa: Pointless?!
*Yuyuko: As I'm on room service right now, I'll be stripping everyone's bed for them. So you didn't really need to ask me that favour.
*Marisa: Well, I did, and there's no un-asking it now. Though I do suppose that I should have looked at the rota beforehand…
*Yuyuko: What? You don't look at the rota?
*Marisa: Nope! I just wait until people tell me when it's my turn on something!
*Yuyuko: Why, that's unfortunate… because nobody's told you that you have to hang the washing today.
*Marisa: What?! Our rota includes hanging up the washing?
*Yuyuko: It does. Oh, but you don't actually have to hang the washing. Taranza found out and did it for you.
*Marisa: I thought he was supposed to be fixing the broken weapons?
*Yuyuko: That was last week.
===Rank B===
*Marisa: What?! I have to clean the tables today? Alright, thanks! Leave the tables' cleanliness to Marisa Kirisame!
*Yuyuko: Marisa?
*Marisa: Hey, Yuyuko. I was just about to clean the tables.
*Yuyuko: Well, you should probably go and do it.
*Marisa: Wait a sec. You look like you want to ask me something.
*Yuyuko: Hmm, you're a clever one… well, I'll go ahead and tell you. What you've been told is wrong. It's actually my job to clean the tables today.
*Marisa: What the- don't tell me that Inigo lied to me!
*Yuyuko: I'd doubt that he'd lie. He's too good-natured a boy…
*Marisa: Too good-natured a TEEN.
*Yuyuko: …too good-natured a teen, even, to ever tell a lie.
*Marisa: He lied to Lucina about his bow. The darned thing broke literally a minute after he said, "I'm fine! My bow's in perfect condition!".
*Yuyuko: That was a lie for Lucina's sake.
*Marisa: Well, lying to me about who's got to clean the tables isn't for anyone's sake, is it?
*Yuyuko: That's exactly why he didn't lie.
*Marisa: Oh, what do you know, corpse girl?
*Yuyuko: Corpse WOMAN, I think you mean.
*Marisa: Whatever.
*Yuyuko: Well, I saw the rota beforehand, unlike you, so I knew the order off by heart. That's why I knew that I've been tasked with table-cleaning today, not you.
*Marisa: Oh, well aren't you a clever corpse gi- corpse WOMAN, I mean.
*Yuyuko: Anyhow, I've got tables to clean. And you, Marisa, have to gather wood for the fire.
*Marisa: What fire? The one we use to keep warm or the one we use to cook?
*Yuyuko: Both.
===Rank A===
*Yuyuko: Hmm, hmm, hm-hmm, hmm, hm, hm-hm-hm-hm-hmm…
*Marisa: Hey, Yuyuko?
*Yuyuko: What is it, Marisa?
*Marisa: Can you please clear out? I've got to tidy your room.
*Yuyuko: Oh, don't worry about me. Tidy my room in my presence.
*Marisa: Alright! So, first I've got to strip the bed…
*Yuyuko: Do you know how to strip the bed?
*Marisa: Why did I ask you that favour way back when?
*Yuyuko: Because you can't strip the bed, of course. Here, let me help you…
*Marisa: Uh, Yuyuko?
*Yuyuko: Yes?
*Marisa: You're looking at the wrong side of the bed. The buttons are over there.
*Yuyuko: Oh, so they are. Do you mind if you undo them?
*Marisa: Why me? Aren't you stripping the bed?
*Yuyuko: No, you're stripping the bed, and I'm just trying to help you. And, since you know that you have to undo the buttons to get the cover off the duvet…
*Marisa: That's changing the duvet cover! Stripping the bed is something different entirely!
*Yuyuko: Oh? But I thought that stripping the bed INCLUDED changing the duvet cover.
*Marisa: Well, I don't think it does.
*Yuyuko: Then it doesn't include changing the pillow covers, either?
*Marisa: Nope. I don't even think the pillows are part of the bed…
*Yuyuko: You need them to rest your head, don't you?
*Marisa: Look. I sleep every night without a pillow, and-
*Yuyuko: Do you really?
*Marisa: Nope. I was just messing with ya.
==Yuyuko and Youmu==
===Rank C===
*Youmu: Here, Lady Yuyuko. The flour.
*Yuyuko: Thank you, Youmu.
*Youmu: You're welc- hold on. Why do you need flour?
*Yuyuko: Azura's birthday is very soon.
*Youmu: AHA! You're going to make a cake, aren't you?
*Yuyuko: Butterfly cakes, actually. One for each of us.
*Youmu: I thought they were called FAIRY cakes…
*Yuyuko: No, no, Youmu. When I make them, they are called butterfly cakes.
*Youmu: For what reason?
*Yuyuko: It makes them sound interesting, doesn't it?
*Youmu: Not really… say, Lady Yuyuko?
*Yuyuko: Yes?
*Youmu: Could we make something else for her birthday?
*Yuyuko: No, no, Youmu. We don't want to be overeating, do we?
*Youmu: I wasn't suggesting more cuisine. I was suggesting decorations.
*Yuyuko: No, no, Youmu.
*Youmu: What's so wrong with them?
*Yuyuko: We'll have to take them down the day after, that's what.
*Youmu: Oh, that's not an issue at all. I could cut them all down once the day is done.
*Yuyuko: Oh, but that would make a TERRIBLE mess…
*Youmu: Then I can clean the TERRIBLE mess up for you.
*Yuyuko: Let's keep things simple by not making a TERRIBLE mess to clean up.
===Rank B===
*Youmu: I'll put the blue ribbons up like this… and I'll put them in a pattern so that they look like Azura's hairstyle… with a model of her pendant-
*Yuyuko: Why are you talking to yourself, Youmu?
*Youmu: Gah! Lady Yuyuko!
*Yuyuko: More importantly, why are there ribbons on your bedroom doorframe?
*Youmu: Oh! This is a prototype - as Susie would call it - for the decorations for Azura's birthday.
*Yuyuko: No, no, Youmu. We already agreed that we wouldn't put up the decorations…
*Youmu: …because they'd make a mess that I could easily clear up?
*Yuyuko: Easy to clear up, yes, but your means of clearing up are quite destructive…
*Youmu: I can refrain from clearing up with my sword.
*Yuyuko: How so?
*Youmu: I'll just borrow Adeleine's stepladder and take the ribbons down by hand.
*Yuyuko: Ah, that's much tidier. Though, how many ribbons do you plan to set up?
*Youmu: Enough to encircle the dining room walls.
*Yuyuko: No, no, Youmu.
*Youmu: What's wrong with that, might I ask?
*Yuyuko: I suggest putting them on the wall in front of the door to Azura's bedroom. That way, she'll see them first thing in the morning.
*Youmu: But that way nobody else will be able to-
*Yuyuko: How many people are having a birthday tomorrow?
*Youmu: Just Azura.
*Yuyuko: Exactly! So only the birthday girl needs to see them!
*Youmu: (Oh, why is Lady Yuyuko organising Azura's birthday?)
===Rank A===
*Youmu: …and there! The ribbons are set up!
*Yuyuko: Youmu, there was no need for that volume…
*Youmu: I'm sorry, Lady Yuyuko, but I have no way of holding back my excitement.
*Yuyuko: Why so? …oh, right. Azura's birthday is in a few hours.
*Youmu: Oh, I'm so terribly excited for her reaction to these ribbons…
*Yuyuko: I'm not sure she'll be that impressed. We do have to explain the symbolism behind it, after all…
*Youmu: No, no, Lady Yuyuko. She's a clever one. I'm sure that she can figure out that the ribbons are meant to look like her hair.
*Yuyuko: I don't think she'll make the connection that easily…
*Youmu: Even if she doesn't, there's still the model of her pendant.
*Yuyuko: Well, yes. You're right, actually.
*Youmu: Come to think of it, Lady Yuyuko?
*Yuyuko: What is it, Youmu?
*Youmu: What if Azura's eavesdropping on us? What if she knows in advance what's right outside her bedroom door?
*Yuyuko: You have a very good point, Youmu. Though, if she is eavesdropping, that would help her understand the context of the ribbons…
*Youmu: …and like them even more?
*Yuyuko: Yes! Exactly!
*Youmu: Alright, then. Let's keep talking until morning. That is, unless she ISN'T eavesdropping us…
