Alear x Mauvier



C Support:

Alear: Mauvier, I’m curious. What are some of your favorite things?
Mauvier: Pardon? Why would you wish to know?
Alear: I’ve decided to give you a gift as a token of my gratitude.
Mauvier: A gift from the Divine Dragon?
Mauvier: For what reason? Perhaps you are mistaken about who I am.
Alear: You are Veyle’s knight, yes?
Alear: Veyle is alive today because of your actions.
Alear: She is my only sibling, and I cannot thank you enough for protecting her.
Mauvier:
Alear: Do you understand why I might want to reward you for such service?
Mauvier: I understand. However…
Mauvier: Knowing I have your gratitude is reward enough.
Alear: Only my gratitude?
Mauvier: I am pleased you value my efforts to aid the Lady Veyle.
Mauvier: I am not a “good person.” As your former enemy, I am unworthy of your praise.
Mauvier: Pardon me. I am needed elsewhere.
Alear: Mauvier, you don’t…

B Support:

Alear: I’ve been thinking about how you said you are not a good person. I heartily disagree.
Alear: For example, I’ve watched you go out of your way to help people in town.
Mauvier: My past actions serve as evidence that I am otherwise. I strive now only for penance.
Mauvier: I once wished to live a humble life. I followed the Fell Dragon as I was taught.
Mauvier: That path led to my becoming the enemy of many. Most notably, you.
Alear: But those days are gone…
Mauvier: Anything I say will be a weak excuse for my part in my own downfall.
Mauvier: I failed to stop Lady Veyle or the rampage of the Four Hounds.
Mauvier: So long as I bear those sins, I am unworthy of redemption or forgiveness.
Mauvier: My acts of kindness towards the people of this town are only a selfish attempt at atonement.
Alear:
Mauvier: Any words of praise─from anyone, especially you─give me no pleasure. Only suffering.
Alear: How long do you expect your penance to last?
Mauvier: I do not know.
Mauvier: I do not think my work will be done, even after death.
Mauvier: I am guilty of too much to hope otherwise.

A Support:

Alear: May I join you as you help the village today?
Mauvier: Pardon me?
Mauvier: It is inappropriate for the Divine Dragon to help with such menial tasks.
Alear: I disagree.
Mauvier: You are a strange one.
Mauvier: Why do you feel you must be so kind to me?
Alear: Well, I realized something after spending time with you. We have quite a bit in common.
Mauvier: Impossible. You have never engaged in villainy.
Alear: We are, each of us, unable to resist offering a helping hand to those in need.
Alear: Our only difference? You momentarily strayed from the path. But now you are home.
Mauvier: Are you making excuses for my actions?
Alear: You can’t forgive your past mistakes precisely because you’re a good person.
Alear: The only fault I can see in your character is that you don’t believe you can be good.
Alear: You don’t need to burden yourself with shame or seek atonement…
Alear: All you need to do is trust your friends and stand by their side.
Mauvier:
Alear: Please trust me, Mauvier. I want nothing more than to help you.
Mauvier: I have made so many mistakes that I have long told myself I am beyond redemption.
Mauvier: Yet, you make me question my way of thinking.
Mauvier: Perhaps the Divine Dragon understands who I am better than I do myself.
Alear: Of course not.
Mauvier: I accept your offer of help in the village. That is, if you are still willing.
Alear: Let’s get to it.
Mauvier: What an odd sensation! My chest feels warm.
Alear: That’s happiness. A feeling you deserve, and one you are about to give to others.
Mauvier: With the Divine Dragon by my side, anything is possible.
Mauvier: Thank you. I would never have found my way without you.

S Support:

Mauvier: Thank you for your help today─aiding in the relief of these troubled people.
Alear: Guiding the lost, mediating conflicts… A lot has happened today.
Mauvier: Tiring work, but worth it to see people smile.
Mauvier: I’ve realized my charitable acts were always penance to alleviate my own pains. No more.
Alear: I do see you smile more than you used to.
Alear: It’s a wonderful thing, seeing you heal.
Mauvier: I can trust myself─and others─unlike before. And it is trust that has helped me to find peace.
Mauvier: It is because of you that I have found this truth about myself.
Alear: Oh?
Mauvier: Is my statement so odd?
Alear: Not at all. I was just thinking how nice it is to hear that you are happy.
Alear: I have been considering something… No. Perhaps not.
Mauvier: Did you just hide something?
Alear: No. Not at all. I’ve not hidden anything.
Alear: Oh no…
Mauvier: Is this…the Pact Ring? Why would you risk having something so valuable here?
Alear: I─ Um… I was…
Mauvier:
Mauvier: Divine One…do you mean to… Will you give me this ring?
Alear: Huh?! I…
Alear: This ring marks a bond between myself and someone I consider very dear to me.
Alear: Asking for this ring is saying you wish to be my partner…
Alear: Is that what you want?
Mauvier: Indeed.
Mauvier: You saved me, body and soul.
Mauvier: At first, I was thankful. Then the feeling grew. You became quite special to me.
Mauvier: When I saw the Pact Ring just now, I finally acknowledged those feelings.
Mauvier: I realized I should be the one beside you.
Alear: Mauvier…
Mauvier: However, I fear I am not worthy of this ring. Not in this moment.
Mauvier: But…I will be someday. Will you consider my request?
Alear:
Alear: You know…I’ve almost offered you this ring once or twice before.
Mauvier:
Alear: You are brave, fierce, and loving. Your kind heart is why I’m drawn to you.
Alear: Still, I could never work up the courage. I’m so glad you asked.
Alear: I wonder what Veyle would think of this?
Mauvier: Lady Veyle recently mentioned that she cares about us both and our happiness.
Alear: Heh, did she? How very Veyle to see what neither of us would admit.
Alear: Well then, it is time for me to muster my courage after all.
Alear: Mauvier, please accept this ring and become my partner.
Mauvier: I accept, and I am honored.
Alear: I hope you will cherish this ring and our bond forever and always.
Mauvier: I shall, Divine Dragon .
Mauvier: I thought I would never feel happiness. Now I know nothing else. I will always be by your side.
