Alear x Kagetsu



C Support:

Kagetsu: Divine One! Divine One!
Kagetsu: Since you appear human, I am curious─what are the differences between dragon and human?
Alear: Let’s see… We live a bit longer than humans, we’re typically stronger and more agile…
Alear: You’re right about appearance, though─we look much the same.
Kagetsu: Interesting! Is it also true that you slumbered in the Somniel for one thousand years?
Kagetsu: What was it that woke you, after all that time? Did you tire of sleeping?
Alear: To be honest, I’m not sure.
Kagetsu: I see. And what were you doing before you went to sleep?
Alear: I’m sorry. I don’t remember much from before I woke up…
Kagetsu: Hm… A pity.
Alear: You’re asking lots of questions, Kagetsu. Why are you so interested in me?
Kagetsu: Why should I not be? We are friends, of course!
Alear: Friends? We’ve actually not spoken that much…
Kagetsu: To my mind, we have been friends ever since we first spoke. And I like to know my friends!
Kagetsu: Is it not so for you? Do you not want to be my friend?
Alear: No, of course I do!
Kagetsu: Good! Then I would like to know all about you, so we can strengthen our bond.
Alear: So I should get comfortable and brace for more questions. Got it.

B Support:

Kagetsu: Your hair, Divine One─is your style unique, or is it common to all dragon fashion?
Alear: Now that you mention it, I have no idea. I don’t actually know much about dragons.
Kagetsu: It seems they are mysteries even to themselves.
Alear: I apologize. You have so many questions, and I have so few answers.
Kagetsu: Not at all! I am happy merely to talk with you.
Kagetsu: In my homeland, it is the Dragons of the East who are worshipped, rather than Divine or Fell.
Kagetsu: That is why I find you so very interesting.
Alear: I had no idea your people worshipped the Dragons of the East!
Alear: I’d love to know more about your homeland. What’s it like?
Kagetsu: It is part of the queendom of Solm, but remote. There is not much contact with other regions.
Kagetsu: Our culture is unique and vibrant. But we are quite secluded.
Alear: Is that because your people want to protect their culture from outside influences?
Kagetsu: Perhaps, yes. But they also lock it away!
Kagetsu: I may not seem it, but I was born to royalty. I was trained always to preserve my legacy.
Kagetsu: That meant always being home, thinking only of family. It was sad, never to step outside of that.
Alear: But now you fight with us for a cause you believe in!
Alear: I’m sure your family is proud of you and the difference you’re making in the world.
Kagetsu: Maybe so.
Kagetsu: Did you have any other questions for me? I am happy to answer.
Alear: Oh, I sure do. We haven’t even discussed the food in your homeland yet!

A Support:

Alear: Thank you for the chat the other day, Kagetsu.
Kagetsu: Exactly what I was going to say! After our talk, I feel our bond has become unbreakable.
Kagetsu: To tell the truth, however, I was rather reluctant to speak too much of my homeland.
Alear: Why is that?
Kagetsu: You said my family back home would be proud of me…
Alear: Yes?
Kagetsu: Those were kind words, but…they were untrue.
Kagetsu: I abandoned my responsibility and my role. I left only written words to explain my leaving.
Kagetsu: Are there any parents who would look proudly on their son for this? I think it is impossible.
Kagetsu: Perhaps they have forgotten me altogether.
Alear: Oh, Kagetsu…
Alear: That just means we have our work cut out for us, doesn’t it?
Kagetsu: Huh?
Alear: If you accomplish great things, your family can’t help but be proud of you!
Alear: So you’ll just have to become a living legend across the land. Nothing to it.
Alear: They can’t forget you if your name is on the lips of all the world. And as your friend, I’ll help you.
Kagetsu: My friend, the Divine One…
Kagetsu: I had thought one meeting was enough to become friends. I now realize it is not so simple.
Alear: True. Friends are much more than that. They help each other through their darkest moments.
Kagetsu: If that is the case, then our bond of friendship has grown incredibly strong!
Alear: You think so?
Kagetsu: Yes! We were friends from the start, but our bond has grown much stronger over time.
Alear: That’s true. It certainly has.
Kagetsu: Indeed. And thanks to that powerful bond, word of our great deeds will be spread far and wide!

Kagetsu:
Alear: You seem to be deep in thought, Kagetsu. What’s on your mind?
Kagetsu: Divine One… I fear that our bond of friendship has weakened.
Alear: Did I do something wrong? I’m so sorry! How can I make it up to you?
Kagetsu: No─it is my fault.
Kagetsu: I understand you now have this Pact Ring, which you will give to your cherished partner.
Kagetsu: I wish to be happy for this person, but however much I try to suppress it, I feel only jealousy.
Kagetsu: Your bond with your partner will be stronger than any bond of friendship.
Kagetsu: I cannot bear to be happy for you because I find myself only wishing that were me.
Alear: Kagetsu…
Kagetsu: That is why I say our bond has weakened. It is because of my selfish jealousy.
Alear: Kagetsu.
Alear: You’re being silly.
Kagetsu: No! I am being serious!
Alear: I mean it’s silly for you to fret. I was already planning on giving this to you.
Kagetsu: The Pact Ring. Why?
Alear: Because I want you to be my cherished partner.
Kagetsu: You do? Truly?
Alear: Our bond is more powerful than any friendship. I would never lie to you.
Kagetsu: Our feelings are identical? Yes! I am so happy!
Kagetsu: Haha! I have never had greater happiness in all my life! Thank you! Thank you!
Alear: Hehe! No, thank you, Kagetsu!
Kagetsu: First friends, now partners. I think this bond was meant to be. What is next for us, I wonder?
Alear: Family, perhaps? At the very least, I’d love to meet yours.
Kagetsu: Very well. Once I am ready to return home, I will take you with me.
Kagetsu: Until then, , I will work hard to make you proud of me.
Kagetsu: And as your partner, I will devote my life to bringing you happiness. Because I love you!
