Alear x Madeline



C Support

Alear: Thanks for training with me, Madeline.
Madeline: No, thank you. It was an honor to spar with someone of your talents.
Madeline: Actually, may I say something? Before we part ways.
Alear: Of course. What is it?
Madeline: I just want to say how much I admire you. You’re so earnest and optimistic.
Madeline: Not to mention how graciously you accepted those of us from another world.
Madeline: What sets you apart as a leader is not your Divine Dragon roots, but your kind heart.
Alear: Oh! I appreciate your kindness, but that’s quite a few compliments to throw my way at once.
Alear: For what it’s worth, you’re incredible too. You’re loyal and fearless in battle.
Alear: I’m grateful that you came to our world.
Madeline: Please. It is a knight’s role to charge bravely into battle.
Madeline: I don’t need praise for doing my duty. After all, it’s not the recognition that matters.
Madeline: It’s the fact that I am serving my purpose and helping you secure victory.
Alear: That’s very reassuring to hear.
Madeline: Now, I must be off to my next engagement.
Madeline: If ever you’re short a sparring partner, feel free to call on me again.

B Support

Madeline: One quick strike and it’ll be done with! I just need to get closer… Eh!
Alear: Madeline, your weapon’s drawn! What’s the matter?
Alear: Oh, a ladybug! Cute.
Madeline: Cute? That creature is trespassing in the Somniel!
Madeline: I have to eliminate it, or it could rain destruction on you and all our allies!
Alear: Uh-huh. I take it you’re scared of bugs.
Madeline: I didn’t say that! A knight never admits fear, no matter how strong the foe!
Madeline: Ugh… But fine, yes. I have something of an… aversion to insects.
Alear: That’s OK. Everyone has things that scare them. But how about you put away your weapon?
Alear: That bug isn’t going to hurt you. I promise.
Madeline: How can you be so sure?
Alear: Here, watch. Shoo! Shoo!
Madeline: AAAH! The beast is on the move!
Alear: It’s all right. Look, it’s flying outside.
Madeline: You let it escape… What if it goes on a murderous rampage?
Alear: I think that’s unlikely. Besides, it’s best to settle matters without violence when possible.
Madeline: Hm… I can see the sense in that. Thank you for handling the situation.
Alear: No problem. I’ll say, I’m kind of surprised to see you like this.
Alear: You’re so brave in battle. Who’d have guessed a bug could make you squirm?
Madeline: Squirm? Knights don’t squirm! Please, wipe that grin off your face!

A Support

Madeline: Time for a break, Divine One?
Alear: I’d say so. Thanks for training with me again, Madeline.
Madeline: My pleasure. Really, I appreciate any chance to get my body up and moving.
Madeline:
Alear: Is something wrong?
Madeline: Not at all. Actually, I was thinking about how glad I am to be here in your world.
Madeline: I’d be lying if I said I had no doubts or lingering regrets.
Madeline: But being here with you, I feel as if I’m becoming the knight I was meant to be.
Alear: I’m happy to hear you say that.
Alear: Still…I’m sorry for asking you to leave your own world.
Madeline: Please don’t apologize. Since coming here, I’ve grown so much, and now…
Madeline: Ah!
Alear: A bug! Don’t worry, Madeline. I’ll take care of it.
Madeline: No… I’ve got this.
Madeline: I can do this, I can do this… Eeek… Now, shoo! Shoo!
Alear: Nice! You handled that well.
Madeline: Hah… I was scared…really scared…
Madeline: But not as much as last time, and that counts for something.
Madeline: I’m glad to be here, learning to overcome my weaknesses with allies I adore and respect.
Madeline: If I hadn’t come to this world, I doubt I would have grown so much.
Madeline: That’s what I meant to say earlier. In short, thank you, Divine One.
Alear: Thank you for being such a good knight. And sparring partner.
Madeline: Hm-hm! Yes. I’ll always strive to excel at both.
Alear: I don’t doubt it for a second.

S Support

Alear: Madeline, you’re up pretty late.
Madeline: Divine One, hello. Yes… I was having trouble sleeping.
Alear: I’m sorry to hear that. Is there something on your mind?
Alear: Not to pry at all, but if I’m feeling upset, I find it helps to get it off my chest.
Madeline: Yes, I suppose you’re right.
Madeline: You see… I can’t stop thinking about Mauvier. The one from my world, that is.
Alear: Ah… Right.
Madeline: It’s not that I regret coming here. I don’t. But I can’t help but feel like I failed him.
Madeline: I wish I had noticed the Warp staff sooner… I wish I had been stronger.
Madeline: Maybe then he’d still be alive, living here with all of us.
Madeline: These are the thoughts that plague me at night when I’m trying to sleep.
Alear: Madeline…
Madeline: I’m sorry. Ignore me. I know it’s unproductive to think such things.
Alear: Maybe so. But I know how you feel. I have regrets about what happened to my mother.
Alear: The more I try to stop those thoughts, the more forcefully they come rushing in.
Alear: It’s OK, though. When you’re having a hard time, you can come talk to me.
Madeline: I appreciate the gesture, but this is hardly as simple as inviting you to spar with me.
Madeline: You’re the Divine Dragon, and I’m a knight. I can’t ask you to share my burdens.
Alear: Perhaps you’d feel differently if you weren’t just a knight…but my knight.
Madeline: P-pardon?
Alear: I’m sorry. It seems abrupt, I know. But I’ve actually been considering it for some time.
Alear: You’re diligent, brave, dependable… Who better to serve as my right hand?
Alear: And this way, I’ll be better able to support you as well. So, please… Take this.
Madeline: The Pact Ring! But, Divine One…
Alear: I know that Mauvier will always be special to you. I don’t want that to change.
Alear: Your loyalty to him is enduring, and I would never ask you to lose hold of that.
Alear: I’m giving you this ring to show that you’re as important to me as he is to you.
Madeline: Oh…
Madeline: I can’t begin to express how happy this all makes me feel.
Madeline: But…can I really accept this offer?
Alear: Only you can answer that question.
Madeline: You’re right…
Madeline: Mauvier said that he wanted me to be happy.
Madeline: If he’s watching over me right now, I’m sure he will accept whatever choice I make.
Madeline: And so…Divine One.
Madeline: Yes, I will accept this ring and serve as your knight!
Alear: Thank you, Madeline. Together, we can face the future without fear.
Madeline: Yes. And I promise to be a knight worthy of this honor.
Madeline: To grow ever stronger, that I may protect you and ensure long, happy lives for us both.
