Alear x Boucheron



C Support:

Boucheron: Are you all right there, Divine One?
Alear: Boucheron? Why do you ask?
Boucheron: Oh, I just thought you seemed a little worn out.
Alear: Ouch, you noticed? I am feeling sort of sluggish.
Boucheron: Hm, that’s not good. You’re eating three meals a day, I hope?
Alear: Yes. I don’t think my diet is the issue.
Boucheron: Well then, how about your sleep?
Alear: About the usual.
Boucheron: Hmm… So you’re eating and sleeping fine, but you still feel groggy.
Boucheron: It could be stress.
Alear: You think so?
Boucheron: I wouldn’t be surprised. Going to war is stressful for anyone.
Boucheron: What have you been doing as stress relief?
Alear: Nothing. It hadn’t even occurred to me. Why, what do you do?
Boucheron: I have several ways to blow off steam.
Boucheron: Like going up a mountain alone and spending some quiet time fishing.
Alear: Wow. That does sound relaxing.
Boucheron: Would you like to join me sometime? The “alone” part of it is optional, really.
Alear: Yes! I would love that. Please come get me the next time you head out!

B Support:

Boucheron: How are you liking this mountain air, Divine One?
Alear: It’s so clear. Everything about this place is gorgeous.
Alear: Just standing here is doing a lot to clear my mind.
Boucheron: I’m glad it’s working as intended.
Alear: Is this the stream you mentioned before?
Boucheron: Yes. Well, probably. It’s got to be one of the ones around here. I think.
Alear: You sound…less than sure.
Boucheron: It’s this terrible sense of direction I have.
Boucheron: I’ve tried to visit the same spot twice, but I’ve never had any luck.
Alear: Now you tell me…
Boucheron: What’s the matter? You seem worried.
Alear: I’m suddenly wondering if we’re going to be able to find our way home.
Boucheron: Haha, don’t worry about that. I’ve been breaking tree branches to mark our path.
Boucheron: Look over there. See that broken branch? It shows we came…that way…
Boucheron: Huh? Aww…
Alear: I’m not seeing it.
Boucheron: Ugh…
Boucheron: I could swear I broke that branch!
Alear: Um, which one?
Boucheron: What? None of these branches are broken! I am so sorry, Divine One.
Boucheron: But I think it’ll be OK. Let’s try going in this direction!
Alear: Actually, let’s head the other way.
Boucheron: What? Why?
Alear: If your sense of direction is that bad, we should do the opposite of whatever your instinct says.
Boucheron: Hm, fair point! Haha, off we go!

A Support:

Boucheron: I feel just terrible about the other day, Divine One.
Boucheron: I hope my poor sense of direction didn’t stress you out even more.
Alear: I wouldn’t worry too much. We got home safely, and the whole thing was even kind of fun.
Boucheron: Whew. That does make me feel better.
Alear: So, how else do you relieve stress?
Boucheron: I do enjoy a good book. Diving into a whole other world helps me forget about ours.
Boucheron: I highly recommend this─it’s a classic from my homeland called, “Love in Bloom.”
Alear: It’s very…damp. And wrinkled.
Boucheron: Oh, sorry about that. It’s from tears.
Alear: Excuse me?!
Boucheron: It doesn’t take much to get the waterworks going for me. That’s why, uh…
Boucheron: That’s why I get misty just looking at the cover for this one.
Alear: That’s all it takes?!
Boucheron: Don’t be fooled. Reading really is very relaxing. And this is one of my favorites.
Alear: All right, then… Let’s see here…
Boucheron: Wait! I’m going to need a moment after seeing the table of contents…
Alear: Is this for real?!
Boucheron: I’m sorry, Divine One… This can’t be very relaxing. I’ll leave you alone with the book.
Alear: Are you sure? I really don’t mind.
Alear: Besides, I think people would start to worry if they saw you walking around in tears.
Boucheron: Uwah… Oh, Divine One, you’re too kind! Wait until we get to the introductory paragraph…
Alear: At this rate, we’ll finish the war before the first chapter…

S Support:

Boucheron: You called, Divine One? Is everything all right?
Alear: Hello, Boucheron. I’ve been thinking about your stress-relief tips.
Alear: But the reason I called you here is for something else altogether.
Boucheron: Hm?
Alear: You’re here so I can tell you three things.
Alear: First, I’d like to thank you.
Alear: I hope you know that your unwavering support is always appreciated.
Boucheron: Please, think nothing of it. I’m just happy I can help you in some way.
Alear: I must say, your dedication is very charming. As is your humility.
Boucheron: You think I’m charming?
Alear: Yes. That was actually the second thing I wanted to tell you, so…there it is.
Alear: But there’s one last thing I have to get off my chest. Here goes…
Alear:
Alear: Sorry, I’m just…feeling a little emotional about this.
Boucheron:
Alear: What’s the matter?
Boucheron: I can’t watch you get so emotional without getting all choked up myself.
Alear: That’s the kind of all-out supportiveness that I think makes me like you so much.
Boucheron: Hm?
Alear: Boucheron, will you take the Pact Ring and promise to stay with me?
Alear: I think we have something special, and I’d hate to lose that after the war.
Boucheron: You─ You mean it? Oh, Divine One, I’m so happy right now I could cry.
Boucheron: But no, I’ve gotta keep it together long enough to tell you this.
Boucheron: I’m no royal or steward, just an ordinary knight. But I’ve always held you in high esteem.
Alear: Is that a yes, then?
Boucheron: Of course I’ll take the ring. It’s proof that we’re of the same mind about each other.
Boucheron: If you’d have me, I’d follow you to the ends of the earth.
Alear: Thank you, Boucheron. This is cause for celebration.
Boucheron: Haha, you took the words right out of my mouth.
Boucheron: I may get lost in life and feel emotional, but I’ll always find my way with you, .
