Alear x Diamant



C Support:

Alear: Ah! One of the Corrupted!
Diamant: The Corrupted? Where?
Alear: Diamant! Help!
Diamant: Hyah!
Alear: Thanks for the save, Diamant. Sorry to trouble you like that.
Diamant: No trouble at all. However, I must ask…
Diamant: How did that creature manage to overpower and frighten the Divine One?
Alear: It came out of nowhere! I just started running. I’m…not really good with the Corrupted.
Diamant: Not good with them? You handle them in battle just fine.
Alear: It’s different on the battlefield. I can spot them first, then steel myself before engaging.
Alear: That last Corrupted soldier got the drop on me. My guard was down.
Alear: I’m an easy target for them outside of battle.
Diamant: Hm, I don’t follow.
Alear: Isn’t there something that makes your skin crawl, Diamant?
Diamant: I suppose…hairy caterpillars can have that sort of effect on me.
Alear: OK, let’s say you knew you were about to see a big caterpillar. You’d have a chance to prepare.
Alear: Now imagine you’re eating dinner at home, and a caterpillar suddenly drops onto your plate.
Diamant: Hmm…
Alear: Wouldn’t that startle you? Wouldn’t you cry out in surprise?
Diamant: I probably would.
Alear: That’s what sneak attacks from the Corrupted feel like─caterpillars dropping on my plate.
Diamant: I understand. Very clear explanation, Divine One.
Alear: That was a strange example, but I’m glad you followed it.
Alear: Sorry you had to watch me struggle like that. How unflattering…
Alear: I wish I was flawless like you, Diamant.
Diamant: Flawless? Hm.

B Support:

Diamant:
Alear: That’s the most concerned I’ve ever seen you look, Diamant.
Diamant: Oh, Divine One. I apologize. Didn’t think anyone else was here.
Alear: What’s that you’re holding?
Diamant: This is a medal my father gave to me a while back. A commendation from the king.
Alear: From King Morion…
Diamant: I was with our troops during an intense battle against Elusia. We found ourselves surrounded.
Diamant: We needed to make a quick retreat, so I took command out of sheer desperation.
Diamant: When we returned, Father gave me this medal. It felt like the first time he saw me as a leader.
Diamant: But occasionally…I wonder…
Diamant: Was it my leadership that got us home, or was it pure luck? Perhaps I didn’t earn this.
Alear: So, even the crown prince of Brodia suffers through moments of self-doubt.
Diamant: Sorry to shatter the illusion.
Diamant: To protect my country’s reputation, I must insist you keep this conversation private.
Alear: Of course. You saw me in a vulnerable moment with that Corrupted soldier, so let’s call it even.
Alear: But I will say one thing…
Diamant: Mm?
Alear: Knowing that you do have a vulnerable side makes me feel a bit closer to you.
Alear: Vulnerability isn’t always a bad thing.
Diamant: Hm. You’re a peculiar leader, Divine One.

A Support:

Alear:
Diamant: Divine One? Are you training?
Alear: Yes. I can’t shake this feeling that I’m not strong enough.
Alear: The truth is…I’m worried. And I feel weak. How can I restore peace to the world in this state?
Diamant: Huh.
Alear: What is it, Diamant?
Diamant: It’s just…surprising. I never would have guessed that the Divine One had doubts like this.
Alear: Of course I do. I worry a lot. My plate is full, and caterpillars keep dropping on it!
Diamant: Hahaha!
Alear: You know what I mean, right?
Diamant: Yes. And I see what you meant earlier about vulnerability. I feel closer to you too.
Alear: Really? All of a sudden? But you’ve seen this side of me before.
Alear: I fled from that Corrupted soldier in such a panic.
Diamant: Haha, I remember.
Diamant: What I mean is, you make me feel safe enough to discuss my deepest concerns.
Diamant: If it weren’t for you, I might still be clutching that medal and thinking about my father.
Diamant: I’m grateful for that. Thank you, Divine One.
Alear: I feel the same way. I appreciate having an ally to confide in too.
Alear: I suspect we have a lot in common.
Diamant: You might be right.
Alear: Let’s keep this up. We may seem guarded to the others, but I’ll always be open to chat with you.

S Support:

Diamant: Divine One? Is this a good time to talk?
Alear: Sure. What is it, Diamant?
Diamant: I’d like for you to have this.
Alear: You’re giving me a ring?
Diamant: I am. It’s made from the medal my father gave to me. I had it melted down and recast.
Alear: The medal from your father?! Why would you do that? It was so important to you!
Diamant: In Brodia, medals and tokens change form whenever they change hands. It’s tradition.
Alear: I don’t know about this. I couldn’t possibly take something so precious from you.
Diamant: You wanted us to keep relying on each other, right? And offer mutual support?
Diamant: Think of this as a reminder. I’ll always be around when you need me.
Alear: I see…
Diamant: So? Will you accept the ring, Divine One?
Alear: Well, Diamant…
Alear: I’m not sure I’m worthy of such a personal gift.
Alear: I guess I’ll just have to do everything I can to live up to this.
Diamant: So you will accept it?
Alear: I will.
Diamant: I’m glad to hear it, Divine One.
Alear: This is actually pretty funny… I have something I’d like to give you as well.
Diamant: The Pact Ring?
Alear: I was planning on giving this to you soon, but you beat me to the punch.
Diamant: But this ring is so important…
Alear: So is the ring you just gave me!
Alear: There’s no one I’d rather have by my side, Diamant. I won’t take no for an answer.
Diamant: Don’t worry. I enjoy fighting beside you too much to turn this down. I accept your gift.
Diamant: Amazing. It’s like I can feel the history of the Divine Dragons─the history of Lythos itself.
Alear: I feel the history of Brodia within your ring as well, Diamant.
Diamant: It’s changed in form between fathers and sons, but that item tells the story of my kingdom.
Alear: If we hope to add worthwhile stories of our own, we’d better help each other out.
Diamant: I’m not worried. When we work together, there’s nothing we can’t do.
Diamant: I vow to protect you, Divine One. From this point on, I will always fight by your side.
