Taylor/Supports

* **Chase**: Whoa. Nice hit! You cleaved that target into two like it was made of wet paper.

* **Taylor**: Thanks Chase!

* **Chase**: However, your form's a bit lacking.

* **Taylor**: What?

* **Chase**: You're focusing too much on your upper half doing the lifting. It's just as important to lift with your legs as it is your arms. Here, let me show you.

* **Taylor**: That won't be necessary, thanks...

* **Chase**: No no, watch. If you do it like this...HYAH!

* **Taylor**: Whoa.

* **Chase**: See? With the proper stance, you can turn a strong attack into a deadly attack, and sometimes, that can turn the tide of battle. Especially against Risen, who are a bit bulkier than normal humans.

* **Taylor**: Huh. Thanks Chase!

* **Chase**: No problem.

## Taylor and Green

### C Support

* **Taylor**: Hello Green.

* **Green**: Oh, why hello! What are you up to?

* **Taylor**: Oh, nothing, it's just that... er, uh. Well, I'm just gonna come out and say this. I, uh, want to ride your dragon.

* **Green**: ...You do?

* **Taylor**: Yeah. I'm no good at riding horses, but I wonder if wyverns are different. I mean, they're kinda like horses, so maybe I'm better at riding them.

* **Green**: I dunno. My wyvern doesn't just trust anyone to ride her. You have to earn the right to ride on her.

* **Taylor**: Aw, man. How can I prove I'm worthy of her trust?

* **Green**: Well, you can start by petting her. She enjoys ear scratches. But, er, make sure she can see you. She doesn't like not seeing whoever's petting her unless it's me.

* **Taylor**: Alright, I can do that.

* **Green**: Don't expect to be able to ride her too soon. It takes more than a few head pats.

* **Taylor**: I understand. But when she does trust me, can I ride her?

* **Green**: That will be her decision.

* **Taylor**: Alright then, I guess...

* **Green**: What's the matter? Did you think it would be easy?

* **Taylor**: No it's just...I didn't realize wyverns were so high maintenance, unlike horses.

* **Green**: It truly takes a devoted trainer to be such good friends with a wyvern. Do you have what it takes?

* **Taylor**: I'll do my best!

## Taylor and Jimmy

### C Support

* **Taylor**: Wow, Jimmy, you're so good at horseback riding. How long have you been doing this?

* **Jimmy**: Huh? Oh, a...while. I honestly don't remember.

* **Taylor**: Oh, so it's like with me then! I've been riding, er, trying to for as long as I can remember. So how did you get so good while I got so bad?

* **Jimmy**: I dunno.

* **Taylor**: Well, would it be too much if I asked for lessons?

* **Jimmy**: Not at all. I think I can find the time to teach you a few things.

* **Taylor**: I know I probably won't get any better, but it's worth a shot, right?

* **Jimmy**: Don't think like that. It's never too late to get good at something! Just because you're not good yet doesn't mean it's too late.

* **Taylor**: You mean it?

* **Jimmy**: Absolutely. Let's get started right away.

### B Support

* **Jimmy**: Another good training session.

* **Taylor**: Good? I fell off the horse five times!

* **Jimmy**: Yes, but last training session, you fell off the horse ten times.

* **Taylor**: So?

* **Jimmy**: So this means you're getting better.

* **Taylor**: No...of course I'm not. That's silly.

* **Jimmy**: Well, if we keep cutting the amount of times you fall by half, then in no time at all, you'll be riding like a champ.

* **Taylor**: Do...do you really think so?

* **Jimmy**: Absolutely. You'll get it down under my supervision. Of that, I'm sure.

* **Taylor**: Wow, thanks. I don't think anyone who's ever tried to teach me has had that much patience with me before. Most of them watch me fall off about fifteen times before they quit.

* **Jimmy**: I'm a surprisingly patient person.

* **Taylor**: I can tell...So when are we gonna try again next?

* **Jimmy**: This time next week?

* **Taylor**: Sounds like a plan! I can't wait. Finally a glimmer of hope!

* **Jimmy**: This is going to take a lot longer than she thinks...Good thing we have time.

### A Support

* **Taylor**: Jimmy, look! Look!

* **Jimmy**: Whoa! You're doing it!

* **Taylor**: I'm riding, I've been riding for a good ten minutes and I haven't fallen off yet! This is awesome!

* **Jimmy**: You're doing great! Keep going!

* **Taylor**: Wow!

* **Jimmy**: Taylor, I'm so proud of you!

* **Taylor**: I guess all it took was some positive reinforcement.

* **Jimmy**: It might have been more than that, because I'm sure you've gotten positive reinforcement before.

* **Taylor**: Eh, not really...

* **Jimmy**: But I thought your parents tried to teach you to ride?

* **Taylor**: They did. They didn't try very hard is the thing.

* **Jimmy**: What, really?

* **Taylor**: They just got me Applejack to shut me up, mostly. They didn't have the patience or the know-how to teach me, so it resulted in a lot of telling me to shut up and try harder.

* **Jimmy**: That's not good at all.

* **Taylor**: Finally, they hired a cheap teacher, but she didn't like teaching me, so that didn't last very long.

* **Jimmy**: I'm so sorry to hear that.

* **Taylor**: It's alright... Thanks so much for teaching me, though!

* **Jimmy**: Hey, it's no problem at all. I taught you to do something you love, and knowing I did that well pleases me enough.

* **Taylor**: This is so great. I'm gonna go get promoted as soon as possible to a horse-back unit!

* **Jimmy**: Best of luck!

* **Taylor**: Thanks!

## Taylor and Joanne

### C Support

* **Joanne**: Hm? What's this, then? What's wrong, Taylor?

* **Taylor**: Oh, nothing, only the fact that I'm having the worst day ever.

* **Joanne**: What happened?

* **Taylor**: I got a letter from home and things aren't looking too good for my family's farm.

* **Joanne**: Oh no! What's wrong?

* **Taylor**: Storms have been ravaging our crops, so this entire season has produced no crops. My family's not gonna make enough money to sustain themselves.

* **Joanne**: Oh no...

* **Taylor**: So yeah. That sucks.

* **Joanne**: Well, maybe I can help you out?

* **Taylor**: You? Why? How?

* **Joanne**: Well we get paid for being in the Shepherds, right?

* **Taylor**: Yeah, and?

* **Joanne**: So you can give your family some of that money. And I'll be able to spare some gold as well.

* **Taylor**: You would do that for me?

* **Joanne**: Absolutely! We're all friends here, aren't we? That's what friends do, after all.

* **Taylor**: Thanks Joanne. You're a life saver!

* **Joanne**: Don't mention it!
