Danica/Supports

* **Julius**: Oh, hey there future-daughter. What a weird sentence to say...

* **Danica**: Heheh, well I have something to ask of you mister father person.

* **Julius**: Go for it.

* **Danica**: Teach me to dance.

* **Julius**: What, really?

* **Danica**: Duh! Where I come from, your dancing is legendary! The New Shepherds—that's what we called ourselves—would spend all night talking about stories our parents told us about how great your dancing is...was. So I really wanna see and learn for myself.

* **Julius**: Well, I guess I can do that for you. Shall we?

* **Danica**: Hee hee, let's do it!

...

* **Julius**: Hey, you learn pretty fast.

* **Danica**: I have nimble fingers and moves, I guess. I'm so proud of myself.

* **Julius**: Well, if you're so proud, maybe we should move onto the really hard shit right away.

* **Danica**: There's hard shit? I wouldn't believe it. Dancing seems so easy now that you've shown me.

* **Julius**: ...Okay yeah no, you're definitely gonna see just how hard it can get.

* **Danica**: I...don't like your tone...

* **Julius**: You shouldn't.

### B Support

* **Danica**: Whew...whew. Holy shit.

* **Julius**: What?

* **Danica**: Those dance moves were really hard. Like, damn.

* **Julius**: That's what your get for bragging about how good you are at dancing.

* **Danica**: Yeah, I guess so...

* **Julius**: Let this be a lesson, alright? You can't just say you got the hang of something and skip right to the hardest stuff.

* **Danica**: But I didn't skip to the hardest part. You took us directly there.

* **Julius**: Yeah, well...uh, that's a good point.

* **Danica**: Maybe you're just a bad teacher.

* **Julius**: Hey, I am not a bad teacher! I taught Kate how to dance and she caught on really well after a lifetime of being convinced she's not meant to be dancing. Maybe you're just the bad student.

* **Danica**: Hey, I am not a bad student!

* **Julius**: Well then how aren't you learning what I'm teaching you?

* **Danica**: Because you're teaching me the hard shit before I'm ready!

* **Julius**: Because you got overconfident!

* **Danica**: I wonder who I get that from...

* **Julius**: What's that supposed to mean?

* **Danica**: Figure it out for yourself, mister best dancer ever.

* **Julius**: Hey wait, Danica come back!

### A Support

* **Julius**: Danica? Can I speak to you?

* **Danica**: What?

* **Julius**: I want to apologize. Our last dance lesson got a bit...heated, and I feel bad about that.

* **Danica**: Don't. It was my fault.

* **Julius**: Hold your tongue! It was all my idea to move us on too fast. I thought your cockiness needed to be shown how hard dancing really was and I guess I got carried away. Y'know, once I forgot that I was purposefully trying to set you up for failure.

* **Danica**: I'm sorry I got so overconfident. I should learn to not let my guard down even if I'm doing really well at something.

* **Julius**: Looks like we both have a lot to learn, eh?

* **Danica**: Yeah, I guess we do.

* **Julius**: Heh, I don't know why I got that way though...that's exactly the way I was when I was learning to dance. Geeze, hypocrite much?

* **Danica**: I wonder where I get that from, huh?

* **Julius**: ...Kate.

* **Danica**: Ha ha, oh my god no, not mom!

* **Julius**: There's my daughter's laughter! That's what I like to hear.

* **Danica**: Glad you like it. Now shall we dance?

* **Julius**: Let's! I'll pick up from where we left off. ...The...place we left off when we were doing the easy stuff. You know.

* **Danica**: I do.

## Danica and Kate

### C Support

* **Danica**: Oh! Mother! Hi there!

* **Kate**: …Are you referring to me?

* **Danica**: (Yep, definitely just like the her I knew. Let's see if this works.)

* **Kate**: Er, hello?

* **Danica**: Right, right! Yes, referring to you! Does the formalness throw you off?

* **Kate**: Not as much as someone calling me their mother does.

* **Danica**: So, first name basis then?

* **Kate**: Let's stick with what you feel comfortable with. And why are you dancing around me?

* **Danica**: No reason. Just having fun with my dearest mother, that's all.

* **Kate**: While dancing is fun, this isn't what I think I want to be doing with you. Can't we sit down and talk about things?

* **Danica**: Things…okay! You go find us somewhere nice to sit, and I'll catch up with you. I bet you're super interested in what future you is like.

* **Kate**: To have raised someone like you, yeah, I kind of am interested. I'll be waiting for you.

* **Danica**: Got it! (Heh, she didn't even NOTICE that I snatched some of her armor! I wonder how long it'll take for her to realize it's missing!)

## Danica and Augustus

### C Support

* **Augustus**: Whoa, hey there Danica. Nice wandering fingers you got there. Trying to pocket something that belongs to me?

* **Danica**: And have my hand chopped off when you find out? No thank you. I was just fixing part of your shirt.

* **Augustus**: Since when did you decide you care about my clothing?

* **Danica**: Since when didn’t I care?

* **Augustus**: Er, since always?

* **Danica**: Stop being so apprehensive. I’m not stealing anything.

* **Augustus**: Your track record says otherwise.

* **Danica**: I know how you play. You have the clothes on your back and the weapon in your hand. No more, no less.

* **Augustus**: You’ve forgotten something.

* **Danica**: …There’s no way. I literally just went through your pockets and didn’t find anything else. You’re lying.

* **Augustus**: Ignoring the fact that you just admitted to sizing me up for thievery, you totally did miss something.

* **Danica**: Prove it.

* **Augustus**: It’s in the waistband of my pants. My handy guide to how to make jokes in any situation, no matter how terrible! It’s a classic!

* **Danica**: More like, it’s a waste of time to try and steal it.

* **Augustus**: I’ll have you know that my brilliant dad and I came up with all the jokes in it. Mostly him, of course, but I helped! It’s always nice to have a father’s humor clo—Danica is your hand in my pants or am I happy to see you?

* **Danica**: I, er, neither?

### B Support

* **Danica**: Look, if you're still mad about me looking for your book, I understand,

* **Augustus**: There are things in my pants you aren't meant to touch, Danica! And you tried touching them! A guy can't forgive that!

* **Danica**: But I was just looking for your book.

* **Augustus**: Tell that to everything else down there.

* **Danica**: Seriously, stop acting like I was trying to grope you. We both know I was searching for something in particular. I'm not desperate.

* **Augustus**: You're desperate for what rightfully belongs to me!

* **Danica**: Uh huh. At this point I think you're lying about your book being hidden in your pants. There's no way.

* **Augustus**: It IS in my pants!

* **Danica**: Then why can't you believe me that I was looking for it?

* **Augustus**: Because where your hand was and where the jokes are, well, are two totally different places?

* **Danica**: Oh. I got it.

* **Augustus**: Yeah, so when you tried getting into my pants from the front, you were way off base. Why would I keep it in the front of my pants, anyway?

* **Danica**: I was so foolish. Forgive me for realizing what I've done was so very wrong?

* **Augustus**: Just don't try it again and we'll call it even.

### A Support

* **Augustus**: Danica, we need to talk. Now.

* **Danica**: I’ve made good on my promise not to get in your pants, haven’t I? Can’t you leave me be?

* **Augustus**: That’s actually why I’m here to talk to you. I’m so proud of you.

* **Danica**: Heh, staying out of someone’s pants isn’t that hard.

* **Augustus**: It probably is for a thief like you.

* **Danica**: Yeah, well…

* **Augustus**: Now that I’ve said my piece, I’m outta here! I’ve got a crowd gathering in a bit for a round of some humor and fun, and I can’t be late! Thanks for being so awesome!

* **Danica**: …You’re welcome.

* **Augustus**: Aw, getting shy when I hug you? That’s weird behavior for such great friends like us. Come on, don’t you like my hugs?

* **Danica**: I do, I guess, but you know how I get when I’ve got a guy in my arms.

* **Augustus**: Well I didn’t feel your hand slipping into my pants again, and since my book’s in a brand new place so I definitely didn’t lose it to you, I’d say you’re still golden! See you around, eh Danica?

* **Danica**: Sure thing, Augustus.

…

* **Augustus**: I made a complete fool of myself.

* **Danica**: And you’ve come to tell me because…?

* **Augustus**: I wish you HAD stolen my book! I hid it in a new pocket in my shirt my mom sewed in for me, just so you wouldn’t find it, and I wish you had!

* **Danica**: That bad, huh?

* **Augustus**: Everyone had already heard all those jokes! My dad’s book was useless to me!

* **Danica**: But it’s such a great guide to humor. Isn’t that why you carry it on you?

* **Augustus**: I guess it’s only good for when me and him are getting humorous.

* **Danica**: Sorry that you had a rough showing.

* **Augustus**: Is that a sincere feeling? With a hug? Oh, thanks Danica! You’re a swell pal!

### S Support

* **Danica**: Augustus. I've got something for you.

* **Augustus**: It's okay, whatever it is I don't need it. You probably stole it anyway.

* **Danica**: True, I did steal it, but I stole it to give to you. You better take it.

* **Augustus**: Is this a joke book?

* **Danica**: Sure is. It's not in any language I've ever seen, but apparently the jokes inside are real funny ones. Figured you'd appreciate it.

* **Augustus**: How am I supposed to appreciate humor I can't read?

* **Danica**: The lady at the store told me a manakete might be able to translate it. And then she told me to put it back because it's an ancient relic. But whatever.

* **Augustus**: Got it. I'll take it to Maggie when I get the time. Thanks for this, though. After that bad show, I've been a bit hesitant to crack jokes with anyone.

* **Danica**: Well, don't be scared anymore. In fact, if you want to shake off some of that rust, I'll hear you out on a joke.

* **Augustus**: No way, you've probably heard it a million times before anyway.

* **Danica**: You'd be surprised.

* **Augustus**: Well…okay, I guess. Here goes. I—

* **Danica**: Wait!

* **Augustus**: —wait?

* **Danica**: Before you start, there's something I want to say. I didn't risk getting my ass cursed off by a shopkeeping mage for only a friend.

* **Augustus**: You're interrupting me to tell me you stole something for your dad?

* **Danica**: No. I risked the integrity of my body for the guy I might kinda love.

* **Augustus**: Oh, what a fun joke! Let me get on that train too! I might kinda love you back!

* **Danica**: …that wasn't a joke.

* **Augustus**: And neither was what I said.

* **Danica**: Huh. Funny.

* **Augustus**: I really do love you back, though. Even before you stole this book for me.

* **Danica**: So I didn't need to steal it?

* **Augustus**: It sorta sealed the deal between us, so it was a good idea.

* **Danica**: If that sealed the deal, what do you say started it?

* **Augustus**: You putting your hand in my pants. Which, now that those pesky feelings we've got for each other are out in the air, you're welcome to do again any time.

## Danica and Harley

### C Support

* **Danica**: Hey there Harley. What do you have planned for today?

* **Harley**: Training.

* **Danica**: Wow, boring!

* **Harley**: Okay, what do you have planned for your very busy schedule?

* **Danica**: There's a village nearby. I'm gonna go see if there's some nobles I can flirt with so I can rob them.

* **Harley**: Wow, illegal! What if you get caught?

* **Danica**: Oh please. When has that ever stopped me?

* **Harley**: Okay, what if you get a band of mercenaries sent after you? Again?

* **Danica**: Then we have a literal army of people who will help me defend myself.

* **Harley**: That's not what we're here for.

* **Danica**: But you wouldn't let a sister-in-arms die, now would you?

* **Harley**: Good point.

* **Danica**: Hey, I have an idea. How about you come with me this time?

* **Harley**: What?

* **Danica**: Yeah! You should come help me steal shit. With your good looks, you'll have nobles wrapped around your little finger.

* **Harley**: I'd rather not.

* **Danica**: Come on! I can show you how exhilarating a life of crime can be.

* **Harley**: I wouldn't call that my idea of a good time.

* **Danica**: Then you need to try it. Come on, please? I promise you we'll only steal from people who deserve it.

* **Harley**: ...Fine. But only so you get off my back about it.

* **Danica**: Yeah! Now let's go change out of this stuffy armor. Do you have any revealing shirts? It's much easier to steal from dudes if they're too busy ogling your chest.

* **Harley**: I regret this immediately.

## Danica and Jayde

### C Support

* **Jayde**: Okay, listen here you wily bitch, I kn—

* **Danica**: Your glasses. Right.

* **Jayde**: Why do you always do this to me? Personal antagonist, I swear.

* **Danica**: Because if there’s one thing I know is super easy to replace, it’s your dumb glasses.

* **Jayde**: What’s that supposed to mean?

* **Danica**: You break them all the time. Obviously you always get more.

* **Jayde**: I don’t break them ALL the time. Just…some of the time.

* **Danica**: But they’re still easy to replace.

* **Jayde**: Doesn’t mean you can keep stealing them from me!

* **Danica**: Get better at keeping track of your stuff then.

* **Jayde**: I keep track of my stuff just fine! See, look, glasses are firmly on my face. I know where they are now.

* **Danica**: That’s one thing you can manage to know where is.

* **Jayde**: …Danica, don’t.

* **Danica**: I mean, you totally lost track of your dad, didn’t you?

* **Jayde**: That’s it, you’re getting a beatdown from an angry Tague—wait why am I not…?

* **Danica**: Silly Jayde. Can’t keep track of anything. Especially not her special little stone.

* **Jayde**: You’re bullying me.

* **Danica**: I’m just helping a friend out. I’ve got your back…and your stuff.

## Danica and Justice

### C Support

* **Justice**: Oh look, it's Danica.

* **Danica**: What's wrong with me?

* **Justice**: You are a liar and a thief. As Justice, I must uphold my namesake by not allowing you to steal anything. So what have you been pilfering today?

* **Danica**: Hey, whoa. I haven't even started today. And I'll have you know that I—

* **Justice**: Good. Keep it that way. I'm keeping an eye on you, thief.

* **Danica**: Hey, I promoted. I'm a Trickster now, okay?

* **Justice**: Sure you are. Old habits also die hard.

* **Danica**: Hey, Justice. Give me a fucking break. I haven't stolen anything today. And I wouldn't steal anything from the Shepherds except as a joke.

* **Justice**: Hmmm... Okay, if you insist.

* **Danica**: Trust me, dude. I don't need you on my ass today.

* **Justice**: Okay, but you bet your ass I'll be keeping a very close eye on you.

* **Danica**: Oh, I believe you. Just keep your eyes away from my ass, okay?

* **Justice**: Gladly.

* **Danica**: Pft. What a sucker. I sure hope he doesn't mind that he's missing a few bucks.

## Danica and Spencer

### C Support

* **Danica**: Oh Speeeence.

* **Spencer**: Oh dear.

* **Danica**: Have I ever told you how much I admire your bravery?

* **Spencer**: No.

* **Danica**: Well, I should have! Your willingness to take on an entire horde of man-eating Risen all on your lonesome is so admirable. And you never hesitate to put your father's life before your own. It's enough to bring a tear to my pretty little eye. \*sniff\*

* **Spencer**: What do you want, Danica?

* **Danica**: What? Psh, I don't want anything.

* **Spencer**: I don't have anything on me for you to steal, so don't bother trying to flatter me.

* **Danica**: As if I'd steal anything from you. All your stuff is littered with pictures of your dads.

* **Spencer**: Call it my Danica-proofing.

* **Danica**: Whatever. Look, I do actually need something from you.

* **Spencer**: And in other news, water is wet. What do you want?

* **Danica**: Look, I have a band of robbers on my ass...

* **Spencer**: Again? Danica have you done anything but get yourself into trouble for your entire life?

* **Danica**: They were only gonna help themselves! I took their stuff and gave it to people who needed it. I was doing a service!

* **Spencer**: And now you need me to bail your ass out of danger again.

* **Danica**: Please? It's a small band. Me and you can take them all by ourselves without bothering the rest of the Shepherds.

* **Spencer**: Alright, fine. But you owe me one after this.

* **Danica**: Whatever. Thanks for the help. I know I can always rely on you.

* **Spencer**: You've already convinced me to help, don't try to flatter me further.
