Citrinne: Hyah!
Citrinne: I just can’t seem to get this right.
Alcryst: Hello, Citrinne. Are you training with magic?
Citrinne: Oh! Alcryst! Where did you come from? Are you lost?
Alcryst: What? No, I was just passing by.
Citrinne: I see. My goodness, you were so…quiet.
Alcryst: You always seem to be training in your spare time, Citrinne. I admire your dedication.
Alcryst: I think you might be the hardest-working person in all of Brodia.
Citrinne: I appreciate the kind words, Alcryst, but…
Citrinne: All of this training isn’t enough. I’m still far behind everyone else.
Citrinne: I must, must, must grow stronger.
Alcryst: Really? Why? I think you’re fine as you are now. Besides, I’ll protect you.
Citrinne: Ah, yes. That’s the same Alcryst I knew as a child─placing others well ahead of himself.
Citrinne: However…I can’t rely on your kindness.
Citrinne: When it comes down to it, I…
Alcryst: Citrinne?
Citrinne: No, it’s nothing. Don’t worry about it.
Citrinne: I need to resume my training. Please excuse me, Alcryst.
Alcryst: Oh, uh… All right, Citrinne…
Alcryst: Something is seriously bothering her…but what?

B Support:

Citrinne: Oh, it’s hopeless. My best is still so weak.
Citrinne: I… I don’t deserve to be Alcryst’s retainer.
Alcryst: I disagree.
Citrinne: Alcryst! Again? How long have you been there?
Alcryst: A while. I apologize for spying. I was worried about you after our last chat.
Alcryst: Do you really believe that you don’t deserve to be my retainer? You know that’s not true.
Citrinne: …
Citrinne: Alcryst, you and I are cousins─practically siblings since we grew up together.
Citrinne: And, for as long as I’ve known you, you’ve carried a low opinion of yourself.
Citrinne: Growing up in Diamant’s shadow didn’t give you many chances to shine on your own.
Alcryst: That’s true. I suppose it’s still true.
Citrinne: But I’ve seen you shine. I see how amazing you truly are.
Citrinne: You always spot a person’s greatest skill or best quality and make sure they’re recognized for it.
Citrinne: You support and openly praise the people around you.
Citrinne: I could go on.
Alcryst: You’re giving me far too much credit…
Citrinne: A person like that should be protected. I’ve felt that way about you since we were children.
Citrinne: But I was a fool to think I could succeed at that. Convictions aren’t enough.
Citrinne: I am simply not strong enough to keep you safe.
Alcryst: That isn’t true!
Citrinne: I’m sorry, Alcryst. I’m so sorry that they chose me to be your retainer.
Citrinne: If you weren’t stuck with me…I’m sure you’d have someone stronger by your side.
Alcryst: Citrinne…

A Support:

Alcryst: Citrinne, do you have a moment?
Citrinne: Oh, Alcryst.
Alcryst: I’m not sure if it’s because we’re cousins or what, but…we have a lot in common.
Alcryst: As you know, I find it…difficult…to accept my own worth. I see that same struggle in you.
Citrinne: How do you mean?
Alcryst: You believe that you’re too weak to be my retainer, but you couldn’t be more wrong.
Citrinne: Alcryst, you really don’t have to try and make me feel better about this.
Citrinne: In terms of strength, I am inferior to the other royal retainers. That is irrefutable.
Alcryst: If you’re referring to raw power, maybe.
Alcryst: But that’s why you use every spare moment you have to train, right?
Alcryst: Rain or shine, you haven’t missed a single day.
Alcryst: You may lack physical strength, but you make up for it in strength of will. That matters.
Citrinne: Perhaps, but…commitment to training is not what makes a worthy retainer.
Alcryst: Again, I disagree.
Alcryst: Because I know how seriously you take your role, it’s easy to place my trust in you. So I do.
Citrinne: You do? Really?
Alcryst: Do you have any idea how reassured I was when I heard that you would be my retainer?
Alcryst: Wait─reassured isn’t the right word for it. Let me phrase this more clearly.
Alcryst: I am so, so glad that you became my retainer.
Alcryst: Yes, we are cousins. Yes, we have known each other since we were very young.
Alcryst: But I don’t care about the obvious reasons why you were chosen.
Alcryst: To me, the important difference is that you volunteered for this position yourself.
Citrinne: I wanted to protect my wonderful cousin.
Alcryst: Exactly. I don’t deserve that protection, but… it means the world to me that you think I do.
Alcryst: That’s why I’m happy things are like this, Citrinne.
Citrinne: Alcryst…
Citrinne: That’s…such a wonderful thing to hear you say. It makes me want to redouble my training!
Citrinne: I have a long way to go before I know I can protect you, after all.
Alcryst: Hey, wait─I’m the one who’s protecting you!
Citrinne: Haha, of course. Thank you, Alcryst.
