C Support:

Alear: Thank you for sparring with me, Saphir.
Saphir: No problem. Always a pleasure to find an opponent who can help me work up a sweat.
Alear: Glad to hear it, since I barely kept up. I see now why Brodia holds you in such high regard.
Saphir: Don’t be too modest. You’re good, and you’ve got lots of room to grow.
Saphir: Strength, skill, speed… You’re full of potential. Keep training─you’ll see.
Alear: Maybe, but what I really envy is your intensity. The way you press the attack…it’s relentless.
Alear: Do you think I’ve got the potential to be as ferocious a fighter as you are?
Saphir: That’s…
Alear: Saphir?
Saphir: Ah, sorry.
Saphir: Listen… You’d be better off not modeling your fighting style too much after mine.
Saphir: Ferocity doesn’t suit you. You’re too kind a person for it.
Saphir: Just be yourself, and hang on tight to that kindness. Don’t let it go.
Alear: I understand, Saphir. Thank you.

B Support:

Saphir: OK, that’s enough sparring for today.
Alear: Thanks again for indulging me.
Saphir: There really is such kindness in your eyes, even when you’re fighting. It’s refreshing.
Saphir: Anyway, thanks for the warm-up. I’m off to do some strength training.
Alear: One training session straight to another? Your stamina’s amazing.
Saphir: When training is all you have, you give it all you’ve got.
Alear: What do you mean, “training is all you have”?
Saphir: …
Saphir: Yeah, OK. I don’t usually talk about this, but you deserve an answer.
Saphir: I’ve always been strong, even as a kid. But back in those days, I had a friend I could never beat.
Saphir: This friend trained hard─and I mean hard─with the goal of becoming the strongest knight ever.
Saphir: One day, Elusia attacked my village. My friend was killed.
Saphir: After that, I figured someone should honor her wish to be the strongest. Might as well be me.
Alear: I’m so sorry for your loss.
Alear: I can’t help but feel that isn’t the only reason you train so hard, though.
Saphir: What makes you say that?
Alear: That ferocity when you fight…it doesn’t feel like grief to me. It feels more like vengeance.
Saphir: …
Saphir: I really should get back to training. Muscles’ll tighten up if I stand around too long.
Saphir: Thanks for letting me talk your ear off, though. I’ll see you later.
Alear: Saphir…
Alear: I went too far. I should apologize…

A Support:

Saphir: Divine One… I’m sorry for how I reacted to what you said about the way I fight.
Alear: Please, don’t apologize. It was insensitive of me to pry.
Saphir: You weren’t wrong. I’m still holding on to hatred of Elusia.
Saphir: But being the only one who lived…somehow that’s even more unforgivable.
Saphir: If my friend had survived the attack instead of me, Brodia’s knights would be stronger for it.
Saphir: I think that’s why I go all out in every battle. Trying to make up for the loss.
Alear: Thank you for confiding in me.
Alear: Hearing it actually makes me feel a lot better.
Saphir: How do you mean?
Alear: If you trained so hard purely for revenge, I’d have to try to talk you out of it.
Alear: Even if it leads to strength, that path is too full of grief to follow.
Alear: But now I see that you push yourself to fulfill the wish of someone you care about.
Alear: I’m sure your friend appreciates it, but I still don’t think it’s worth the pain you’re carrying.
Alear: If I were her…I’d just want you to be happy.
Saphir: You know…I never even considered that.
Saphir: Maybe you’re right. We are talking about one of the kindest people I’ve ever met.
Saphir: But how can you be so sure what she’d think in this situation, Divine One?
Alear: It’s easy to know that sort of thing when you care about a person.
Saphir: Ah…
Alear: Was that the wrong answer?
Saphir: No, of course not. It’s…nice to hear.
Saphir: Thank you, Divine One. It means a lot to me.

S Support:

Alear: Hyah!
Saphir: Hah, nice one. I yield.
Alear: Thanks for the match.
Alear: That’s enough training for today, though. Phew, you really wore me out.
Saphir: You gave it your all today, Divine One. That was some intense stuff.
Saphir: I know I said you had potential, but even I didn’t expect you to develop so quickly.
Alear: If I have, it’s thanks to you─and not just your encouragement.
Alear: I want to be strong enough to protect you.
Saphir: Protect me?
Alear: Haha, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen you blush before.
Saphir: No one’s ever said anything like that to me before. I have no idea how to respond.
Alear: However ferocious you might be, you still have a tender heart.
Alear: I love that about you.
Alear: That’s why I want you to have the Pact Ring.
Saphir: Uh…
Alear: You’re the person I care for most. This ring is a symbol of how precious you are to me.
Alear: So, what do you say? Sparring partners forever?
Saphir: I…
Saphir: Can I really let myself be so…happy?
Alear: I know it might seem impossible. You’ve been through so much pain and struggle.
Alear: But that’s exactly why you deserve to have some happiness.
Saphir: You’re right, . Thank you.
Saphir: I’ll take this ring and your offer happily.
Alear: Good, because I’m going to be there for you from now until the end.
Saphir: That goes both ways. I’ll fight with all I have to protect you…and to make you happy.
