Endgame: Grima/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.

## DJ and Green

### C Support

* **Green**: Hey DJ, looks like we're sparring partners today. Think you can handle me?

* **DJ**: Of course I can.

* **Green**: Sweet. Let's do this!

* **DJ**: Wait. Before we do, I want to propose a deal.

* **Green**: What is it?

* **DJ**: Hop off your mount.

* **Green**: What?

* **DJ**: If you're so confident, surely you can handle not being on your wyvern for once.

* **Green**: I guess I could do that.

* **DJ**: Cool! Now let's do this.

…

* **Green**: Whew...okay, that was harder than I anticipated.

* **DJ**: You're no good at swinging that axe around when you have to rely on your feet instead of your wyvern. You should work on your ground-based combat.

* **Green**: But...why? I have her, and that's all I need.

* **DJ**: Yeah, but wouldn't you like to expand your skills?

* **Green**: I guess that could always come in handy...

* **DJ**: I'll teach you.

* **Green**: You will? I dunno about that. Axes are heavier than swords by quite a bit.

* **DJ**: Yeah, but how much harder can it be?

* **Green**: Here, grab this.

* **DJ**: Sure oka—OUCH. That thing nearly took my arm off!

* **Green**: Heavier than it looks, huh?

* **DJ**: Be smug about it. Go ahead.

* **Green**: Gladly.

## Green and Julius

### B Support

* **Julius**: Heyo—what the fuck are you doing?

* **Green**: Building dummies.

* **Julius**: Why?

* **Green**: We're running low on training dummies, so I'm making some new ones.

* **Julius**: Huh. I never took you for a wood-working guy.

* **Green**: You'd be surprised at how much I can do.

* **Julius**: Well, I have some skills that could surprise you too.

* **Green**: Yeah? You know wood-working?

* **Julius**: Er...sort of? I can try!

* **Green**: Okay then. In that case Julius, I have one questions for you.

* **Julius**: Yeah?

* **Green**: Do you wanna build a dummy?

* **Julius**: Ride our mounts throughout the camp?

* **Green**: I think some company is overdue, I've started talking to the pictures on the walls.

* **Julius**: It gets a little lonely

* **Green** and **Julius**: ALL THESE EMPTY—

* **Joos**: Oh my gods, you guys really do sing at each other.

* **Green**: ...Okay, bye.

## Justice and Knifez

### B Support

* **Justice**: Calling me strange is just motivation for me to do things better! I'll show my father how great I am, and he'll realize that I'm the best son he could ever have!

* **Knifez**: Er, Justice? What are you loudly yelling about?

* **Justice**: About how I'm going to show you that I'm great!

* **Knifez**: Don't hurt yourself trying to do that.

* **Justice**: I would never hurt myself!

* **Knifez**: You're standing on your pegasus' back.

* **Justice**: So? I do things like this all the time!

* **Knifez**: And let me guess, you've fallen off of there a fair time or two.

* **Justice**: If I have fallen, I don't remember it. And Hope doesn't remember it either. He'd stop me if I was prone to getting hurt.

* **Knifez**: Uh huh.

* **Justice**: I am unbreakable!

* **Knifez**: That scar on your head says otherwise.

* **Justice**: …So I fell off Hope's back one time and hit my head. Big deal.

* **Knifez**: In an attempt to make me proud?

* **Justice**: …In an attempt to get you to notice me from…wherever you go after you die.

* **Knifez**: Well I'm not dead here, so don't do this weird shit trying to impress me.

* **Justice**: Got it, dad!

## Dakota and Joos

### B Support

* **Joos**: Hey, I finally finished that book.

* **Dakota**: Oh yeah? How'd you like it?

* **Joos**: It was beautiful! The ending was so moving and heart-warming...say, how did you know I'd like it?

* **Dakota**: You seemed like the type.

* **Joos**: How did you know?

* **Dakota**: Observation.

* **Joos**: I see.

* **Dakota**: I'm glad it worked, because now we have something to talk about. I'm quiet around people I don't know very well, so that book can help us start getting to know each other.

* **Joos**: Great thinking, Dakota. That's a strategy worthy of a tactician.

* **Dakota**: Heh, thanks. I'll stick to my stealing, though.

* **Joos**: I understand. Being a tactician is stressful.

* **Dakota**: So is being a thief. Though I can imagine in different ways...

* **Joos**: Is stealing from a baby harder than they say?

* **Dakota**: Not really. Jail is the stressful part, mostly.

* **Joos**: Makes sense.

* **Dakota**: I think we're gonna be good friends.

* **Joos**: I agree.

## Augustus and Grace

### A Support

* **Augustus**: Mom. I see you.

* **Grace**: Well, yeah, it's not like I'm trying to be sneaky today.

* **Augustus**: I thought I told you not to spy on me anymore, and that I'd tell you all the jokes you'd like.

* **Grace**: You did, and that's great!

* **Augustus**: So are you wanting jokes, or…?

* **Grace**: Not exactly. Because I never wanted them to begin with.

* **Augustus**: You mean you weren't following me like a shadow to watch me be like my dad?

* **Grace**: That's actually WHY I was following you.

* **Augustus**: So now that I want to tell you jokes because I've got some time to kill, you don't want to hear them? That doesn't make sense.

* **Grace**: It's not about the jokes. I'm more than happy that you inherited your father's sense of humor, but it's not about that.

* **Augustus**: Then what is it about?

* **Grace**: I just sort of hoped that I'd get to see you at least try to be like him in regards to your fighting style…

* **Augustus**: I've said it before, I'm no good with magic. I'd love to be more like my dad, but I can't exactly pick up a tome and start flinging spells. Not in my blood.

* **Grace**: But it is in your blood.

* **Augustus**: That's a technicality. You know what is more in my blood though?

* **Grace**: \*sigh\* Your father's sense of humor.

* **Augustus**: My mother's incredible strength. Which is why I took up axes over tomes. Much scarier to hit people with.

* **Grace**: Wait…really?

* **Augustus**: Hell yeah! And until my dying day, whenever that might be, I'm going to be as great of a warrior as both my parents, but especially my mother who raised me to be as fierce as she is.

## Jayde and Signele

### A Support

* **Jayde**: Mom, I want to talk to you. No, wait, need to talk to you.

* **Signele**: It's not about boys, is it?

* **Jayde**: No, no, it's not. I know how you don't care so much for that.

* **Signele**: Oh. I was gonna say that you're totally allowed to talk to me about boys. I get it that you're not MY little bunny child. You belonged to a different me. And so that means I shouldn't get so mommy-like with you.

* **Jayde**: But I like when you get so protective of me.

* **Signele**: Even though that's not my place?

* **Jayde**: Well, duh? My actual mom wasn't exactly the best at being my mom.

* **Signele**: She wasn't?

* **Jayde**: No way! She was always so hesitant to do anything on my own, because she didn't want me to get hurt. She didn't want to lose me. Ever.

* **Signele**: Which would explain why you didn't see things like she did.

* **Jayde**: Yeah…\*sniffle\*

* **Signele**: Are you crying?

* **Jayde**: No! Maybe. Yes…

* **Signele**: Oh, come here sweetie. Don't cry because of me.

* **Jayde**: I miss my mom so much. The one that raised me. You're great and all, but you're not her, and you can't replace her.

* **Signele**: I don't want to replace her.

* **Jayde**: \*sob\* But you're just like her except better!

* **Signele**: Don't say that. I'm sure she was way better than me.

* **Jayde**: No, she wasn't. She didn't tickle me, or tease me, or anything, and you do all of that. You're like the best mom I could have ever been given.

* **Signele**: Now you're gonna make me cry!
