Seti Ridley/Supports

## Diadra Godfrey

### **C:**

**Seti:** H-hey, careful! This river flows faster than it looks! If you fall in, there’s no way you’re getting out- What are you doing out here in the middle of a river anyway?

**Diadra:** Lord Seti! …I… I apologize. I just thought I’d fill our water skins… and the river’s stagnant near the shore.

**Seti:** It’s alright; you just scared me. Here, take my hand. You’ll catch a chill standing in there.

**Diadra:** Hm? But I’ve seen you do this many times…

**Seti:** That’s different. I grew up in the cold, but you need to be more careful.

**Diadra:** I… I will. Thank you.

### **B:**

**Diadra:** Lord Seti?

**Seti:** Ah, Lady Diadra. How are you holding up?

**Diadra:** I’m alright. I, um… The other day…

**Seti:** Heh, you’ll have to be a little more specific than that. Which day?

**Diadra:** At the river… You said… …

**Seti:** That you’d catch a chill? …Are you sick?

**Diadra:** No! It’s not that. You said you grew up here – in the cold. But I…?

**Seti:** …No… No, you’re not from here. Say, do you remember when I found you?

**Diadra:** Only a little. You were surprised when I said I was cold, and gave me your cloak. Then we came to a village and you got me another cloak… and you were surprised again when I said I was too hot.

**Seti:** Mm… You were such a strange thing to me…

**Diadra:** …That place you found me. Are we ever going back?

**Seti:** Yes. I promise, Lady Diadra… I promise to return you home.

### **A:**

**Seti:** Here, these blankets – you do get cold at night this time of year, don’t you?

**Diadra:** Yes, I do… Thank you, Setine.

**Seti:** Wh-… What did you call me?

**Diadra:** …Setine. That’s your name, isn’t it?

**Seti:** I… No. Just Seti.

**Diadra:** I understand… Good night, Lord Seti.

**Seti:** …Lady Diadra…

### **S:**

**Diadra:** Excuse me…

**Seti:** Hey, there’s no need to be a stranger. …You’ve been acting odd for days.

**Diadra:** …Have I?

**Seti:** Mm. You worry me.

**Diadra:** I don’t mean to.

**Seti:** I know you don’t. Are you… homesick, perhaps? As soon as Father returns, then we can-

**Diadra:** No!

**Seti:** Huh?

**Diadra:** It’s- that’s not it. I’m just… scared.

**Seti:** What? Why? There’s nothing here that could harm you.
Not while I draw breath.

**Diadra:** Not that either! I’m afraid that- that you and Sir Luinne will take me back to wherever I came from… and leave, and I’ll be all alone in a home I don’t remember, and I, I…

**Seti:** Ah…

**Diadra:** …I’d rather stay here, if it… means being with you.

**Seti:** … …Oh! …Oh… I see… Lady Diadra, you know… you know I can’t…

**Diadra:** I know. I know. But, if it pleases you, Lord Seti… Allow me to feel these childish feelings. Just for a little while.

**Seti:** Yes- of course. Oh, Lady Diadra… I…

## Luinne Ridley

### **C:**

**Seti:** Um, Father?

**Luinne:** Mm?

**Seti:** Do we have any medicine?

**Luinne:** Medicine? No, what for?

**Seti:** I think Lady Diadra might be ill… I went to see if she needed anything, and she was curled up and hiding her face, and her shoulders were shaking. I asked her if she was alright, and she told me to go away.

**Luinne:** …

**Seti:** Maybe she has a stomachache.

**Luinne:** She’s not ill, Seti. She was crying.

**Seti:** What? Why?

**Luinne:** She’s probably homesick, and missing her parents.

**Seti:** Can… can we make a medicine to fix that?

**Luinne:** …No. Just give her space. She’ll come to us if she needs us.

### **B:**

**Seti:** …

**Luinne:** Well? How’s our guest?

**Seti:** She’s, um… I don’t know. I can’t tell.

**Luinne:** Was she crying?

**Seti:** No… That’s good, right?

**Luinne:** Generally speaking, yes. Did she eat?

**Seti:** A little bit.

**Luinne:** Did she talk to you?

**Seti:**  Sort of. I asked how she was doing, and she said she was okay. Then she started asking me about Naviti. She wanted to know if I was born here, and if you were from here, and… if my mother was from here.

**Luinne:** …

**Seti:** Her mother – the queen. She’s dead, isn’t she?

**Luinne:** Most likely. Don’t bring it up.

**Seti:** …Is mine?

**Luinne:** It’s late. Go to sleep, Seti.

**Seti:** …Yes, sir.

### **A:**

**Seti:** Father…?

**Luinne:** Mm?

**Seti:** My… my mother…

**Luinne:** …

**Seti:** She’s the wind goddess Setine. Isn’t she?

**Luinne:** …Yeah. How’d you know?

**Seti:** She told me. I’ve heard her voice in the wind ever since I was a child. She never told me who she was, but I figured it out eventually.

**Luinne:** Heh… Figures.

**Seti:** …

**Luinne:** …

**Seti:** …Did you – do you love each other?

**Luinne:** What? Of course not. I’m a human; she’s a goddess. Gods are different than us, Seti. They don’t love like us. She found me amusing. Interesting, even. That’s all.

**Seti:** Oh… …But what about you?

**Luinne:** …When a goddess takes an interest in you, you’ll find you don’t have a whole lot of options.

**Seti:** …

**Luinne:** But you know me. I’ve always been in love with the wind…

## Lyra Nazari

### **C:**

**Lyra:** Hey! Sister!

**Seti:** …Are you talking to me?

**Lyra:** I’ve been waiting forever to finally meet you! Well, not *meet you* meet you, ‘cause I’ve obviously met you before, but-

**Seti:** Excuse me, I think you have the wrong person…

**Lyra:** …You’re Setine though, aren’t you?

**Seti:** *Don’t* call me that.

**Lyra:** Ah… Who… who are you, then?

**Seti:** My name is Seti Ridley.

**Lyra:** You *are* Luinne’s son, then.

**Seti:** …Yes?

**Lyra:** …Huh. Uh, sorry, then. I need a moment.

**Seti:** …

*C support achieved.*

### **B:**

**Lyra:** Um… hey, Seti.

**Seti:** Good afternoon, your highness.

**Lyra:** Huh? You know who I am, then?

**Seti:** Of course I do. Prince Lyra of Aljana. Am I… not supposed to?

**Lyra:** Oh, no, it’s fine, I was just surprised. Um, I came to apologize, about the other day. I was confused.

**Seti:** It’s… fine.

**Lyra:** I was looking forward to meeting you, though. Your father told me about you, and he said it would be okay if I talked to you.

**Seti:** …No disrespect intended, but… what about?

**Lyra:** …I didn’t think that far ahead.

**Seti:** Heh.

**Lyra:** U-uhh… So your name’s Seti, right? You’re pretty cute – I mean, that’s pretty cute. …Ugh…

Seti: …Thanks?

*B support achieved.*

### **A:**

**Lyra:** Hey, Seti! I’m back with another apology!

**Seti:** Again, it’s really okay-

**Lyra:** Last time was kind of a disaster, but it’ll go better this time. Promise.

**Seti:** …If you’ll forgive me, I’d like to speak bluntly. Which one of you wants to talk to me?

**Lyra:** O-oh… You know about that too, then?

**Seti:** Mm.

**Lyra:** We’re one and the same, but if you want to put it like that… I do. Vega, I mean. I’ve been looking forward to meeting you and your father for a long time.

**Seti:** Because of her?

**Lyra:** …W-well, yeah. Why else?

**Seti:** …

**Lyra:** I’ll leave you alone, if you want. I just wanted to meet my sister – er – my – my sister’s child!

**Seti:** God Vega…?

**Lyra:** …I think I hear someone calling me. Got to go! See you around, Seti.

**Seti:** Farewell…?

**Lyra:** …

**Lyra:** …He doesn’t know… He really doesn’t know that… he… she’s…
