Paralogue 4: Rides With Wyverns/Supports

* **Janice**: Oh no...

* **Florence**: We have some work to do.

* **Janice**: No.

* **Florence**: First of all. That wyvern? Get rid of it. No proper lady would be caught dead with such a dirty creature.

* **Janice**: Excuse me?! No. No. This conversation is over.

* **Florence**: Wait, Janice! I'm not done!

* **Janice**: If you want to continue speaking, you have to promise to drop this "get rid of my wyvern" thing. Forever.

* **Florence**: Fine fine. If Green can have one I guess you can too. Beyond that, stop wearing that bandana all the time.

* **Janice**: Why?

* **Florence**: You have the royal blue hair. You gotta let that shine! Waydrn royals wear their hair color with pride for the world to see.

* **Janice**: No! No. Shut up! I'm done talking to you!

* **Florence**: ...Geeze, tou-CHY. What's her deal?

## Janice and Jimmy

### C Support

* **Jimmy**: I see her wyvern, but not her…Janice, you around?

* **Janice**: \*sigh\* Yes, I'm around. What do you want?

* **Jimmy**: Nothing really. Just wanted to say hey.

* **Janice**: You're not going to badger me about why I'm how I am?

* **Jimmy**: Wasn't planning on it.

* **Janice**: Not going to endlessly question me about not liking you?

* **Jimmy**: I'm curious, sure, but I'm not going to bother you about that.

* **Janice**: Huh. Maybe you aren't so bad after all.

* **Jimmy**: Hey, don't try to disappear like that.

* **Janice**: But I thought you just wanted to say hey?

* **Jimmy**: I did. And then you actually talked.

* **Janice**: Er, that's the polite thing to do?

* **Jimmy**: Well I appreciated it.

* **Janice**: …..

* **Jimmy**: …..

* **Janice**: …Uh, is there more to this than that?

* **Jimmy**: Not really.

* **Janice**: I'm just going to go then. There's better places for me to be than here.

* **Jimmy**: Okay, sounds good. See you around.

* **Janice**: Right. Around.

## Augustus and Jayde

### C Support

* **Jayde**: Augustus, I need you.

* **Augustus**: Er, what type of need? I know your tricks.

* **Jayde**: Just \*sniff\* a shoulder to cry on. That kind of need.

* **Augustus**: Oh, all right. You're lucky that I inherited compassion from my mom to offset all the bad taste humor I could be slinging right now.

* **Jayde**: But your humor \*sniff\* makes everything feel better.

* **Augustus**: Er, well if you insist, I guess I could make a joke about your big ea—

* **Jayde**: NOT the ears.

* **Augustus**: You certainly dried your tears fast.

* **Jayde**: You mentioned something that everyone makes fun of me for. I thought you were above that sort of thing.

* **Augustus**: But you just asked for my humor. Sort of.

* **Jayde**: But not about my ears. A big, strong, charming warrior like you shouldn't pick on a bunny for what nature's given her.

* **Augustus**: Your…fur is getting under my shirt. I'm not sure if I like this kind of contact…

* **Jayde**: Are you wanting me to stop? You're being really comforting right now, letting me hug you like this.

* **Augustus**: Jayde, I am not interested in your advances! Unrequited romance is no laughing matter, but you're so desperate it's hard not to laugh!

* **Jayde**: Ugh! What is it with you boys and being so against me wanting to be loved?

## Spencer and Chase

### B Support

* **Chase**: Hey Spence, come this way.

* **Spencer**: What is it, dad?

* **Chase**: I want to take you along this time.

* **Spencer**: Take me along where?

* **Chase**: Bug catching, of course.

* **Spencer**: Bug catching...?

* **Chase**: Yeah! Did future me never take you bug catching before?

* **Spencer**: Well, you did...but.

* **Chase**: Well then let's go!

* **Spencer**: Oh dear.

...

* **Chase**: Well, that wasn't fun.

* **Spencer**: Sorry...

* **Chase**: You could have just said you didn't like bugs. I wouldn't have taken you.

* **Spencer**: I didn't want to make you think I didn't want to go with you.

* **Chase**: Nah, you'd be surprised how understanding I am about people being scared of bugs.

* **Spencer**: Oh, well...sorry.

* **Chase**: That's okay. Just let me know next time I want to do something you can't do, okay?

* **Spencer**: Sure.

* **Chase**: And in return, I won't tell anyone how loud your girlish scream was.

* **Spencer**: ...Thanks.

## Jimmy and Taylor

### 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.

## Daniel and Heroi

### A Support

* **Heroi**: Daniel, stop trying to run away when I approach you! I'm fine.

* **Daniel**: Sorry Heroi, I just...it's my fault you got hurt.

* **Heroi**: No, of course it's not. I was too insistent that we train.

* **Daniel**: If you're really willing to take the blame, go for it, I guess.

* **Heroi**: However, you did hurt me, so I would like a favor in return.

* **Daniel**: Oh gods...

* **Heroi**: Tell me why you don't like sparring.

* **Daniel**: Oh dear. Well, if it'll get you to forgive me, I guess I'll tell you.

* **Heroi**: That's all I ask.

* **Daniel**: Okay, here goes. When I was a teenager, just starting to get into sword-fighting, I would have sparring matches with my best friend, with whom I spent most of my life up until that point. She dreamt of being a knight like I did.

* **Heroi**: I see. And?

* **Daniel**: And...I was bad at separating practice from actual battle. So we usually ended most of our sparring matches with some knicks and bruises. No big deal, usually. Her mother was a healer, so if anything really bad happened, she would fix it. Until one day she couldn't.

* **Heroi**: What happened?

* **Daniel**: We... got really into it. Somehow the barrier between practice and real fights broke down completely. I blanked, and next thing I knew...Next thing I knew, my sword had pierced her heart. My best friend died and it was all my fault.

* **Heroi**: Oh no...

* **Daniel**: Since then, I've vowed to never practice with anyone. My only practice from then on was on the battlefield. I can't let a friend die again.

* **Heroi**: I see. That makes sense. But I know for a fact you can distinguish fake fighting from the real thing.

* **Daniel**: What makes you say that?

* **Heroi**: I've seen you battle in non-fatal conditions. Remember that tournament? You didn't kill anyone...until you were supposed to.

* **Daniel**: Yeah, but I barely participated then either.

* **Heroi**: I dunno, I think you can do it if you put your mind to it. Besides, it's not like any of us would let you hit us.

* **Daniel**: That sounds like a challenge!

* **Heroi**: One you should take up sometime.

* **Daniel**: You know what? Maybe I will. Thanks Heroi.

* **Heroi**: Say, Daniel.

* **Daniel**: Yeah?

* **Heroi**: You said you couldn't let a friend die again. Does this mean you consider me a friend?

* **Daniel**: Of course!

* **Heroi**: Awesome. Let's go train with the others, friend.

* **Daniel**: Alright. I can do this...

## Knifez and Rachel

### S Support

* **Knifez**: Hey Rachel, good job out there today.

* **Rachel**: Well, this is a surprise.

* **Knifez**: Wait, what?

* **Rachel**: Usually there's about a week or so in between times we talk. You're not usually so quick to continue talking with me. Not that I'm complaining. I like your company.

* **Knifez**: And I yours. Ever since I started treating you like your own person, I've been enjoying our time together immensely.

* **Rachel**: That's good to hear.

* **Knifez**: However, I'm afraid this time, there's something urgent I need to talk to you about.

* **Rachel**: What is it?

* **Knifez**: Gods...I told myself I'd never do this to one of my Shepherds.

* **Rachel**: ...Do what?

* **Knifez**: I...ugh, nevermind. Maybe I shouldn't even bring it up.

* **Rachel**: Wait, Knifez! Come back. This seems important.

* **Knifez**: It is, but I don't think I'm ready to do this yet.

* **Rachel**: Does it involve whatever it is you're obviously hiding behind your back?

* **Knifez**: N-no...Yes. Forget it ever happened.

* **Rachel**: Say I did forget. What would I be forgetting about that's behind your back?

* **Knifez**: Oh, nothing. Certainly not a ring.

* **Rachel**: ...Oh! I see. Why would this hypothetical-but-doesn't-actually-exist ring be given to me? Hypothetically?

* **Knifez**: Because in the time you've been apart of this army, you've helped me grow as a person more than anybody else. Besides my sisters. It would be my token of gratitude. Among other things.

* **Rachel**: M-makes sense.

* **Knifez**: And if I did pop that hypothetical question, how would you respond? Y'know, hypothetically.

* **Rachel**: You're not very good at this, are you?

* **Knifez**: No.

* **Rachel**: Ha ha, I can tell. But I think I would say yes. Hypothetically.

* **Knifez**: R-really?

* **Rachel**: Sure!

* **Knifez**: Whew. Well that takes some stress off me.

* **Rachel**: Good to hear. So you just save that ring until you're ready to take this out of the realm of hypotheticals, okay?

* **Knifez**: Will do.
