Vander x Alfred



C Support:

Alfred: Vander, I owe you an apology.
Vander: An apology? What for?
Alfred: I messed up big time.
Alfred: If I’d been quicker about getting to Lythos, I could’ve saved Queen Lumera.
Alfred: I know the queen meant a lot to you. I’m really sorry she’s gone.
Vander: You are mistaken, Prince Alfred.
Vander: If there is blame to cast, I bear as much as you. More, in fact, as I was her retainer.
Vander: So you see, you have nothing to apologize for.
Alfred: But I…
Vander: Without your presence, Prince Alfred, our losses may have been even greater.
Vander: As I see it, I have ample reason to thank you and none to resent you.
Alfred: Well, if you say so. Happy to help.
Alfred: Hey, uh, is it OK with you if I visit again?
Vander: Of course. Let us share stories of happier times with Queen Lumera.
Alfred: Happier times, huh?
Vander: Indeed. I think Queen Lumera would prefer that to brooding over our failures, don’t you?

B Support:

Alfred: When I was little, Queen Lumera gave me flowers for my birthday.
Alfred: They were these real pretty white flowers. Couldn’t tell you what they were called.
Vander: Windflowers, most likely. Queen Lumera was especially passionate about growing them.
Alfred: Windflowers. I’ll have to remember that.
Vander: Queen Lumera once made a gift of windflowers for me as well.
Alfred: Oh, was it your birthday too?
Vander: No. There was nothing special about the occasion.
Alfred: Oh. Hmm.
Alfred: Maybe it was her way of saying, “Good work, my loyal retainer!”
Vander: Perhaps. Such gestures were typical of our queen.
Vander: The garden where she tended her windflowers was trampled into mud during the battle.
Vander: Thinking about it now, I wish I had spent more time with the queen.
Alfred: Well, we all have regrets. Nothing to do with them but keep moving forward.
Alfred: It’s up to us now to keep our people safe, just like Queen Lumera used to.

A Support:

Vander:
Alfred: What’s up, Vander? Your invite caught me a little off guard.
Vander: Have a look at this.
Alfred: Are these windflowers? A whole garden full… but why here?
Vander: I thought it would be a waste for them to grow only within the castle.
Vander: I planted what I could find of them here, so that everyone may enjoy them.
Vander: I must admit…I didn’t expect them to thrive quite so much.
Alfred: Heh heh, they’re some real good-looking windflowers, I’ll give you that.
Alfred: When I gaze at them, I have the strangest feeling that Queen Lumera is here at my side.
Vander: I know just what you mean.
Vander: I wanted you to see the windflowers too, Prince Alfred.
Alfred: Thanks. It means a lot, you know.
Alfred: Once we get our peace back, why don’t you and me plant even more windflowers here?
Vander: Yes. We shall plant them together.
Alfred: And this time, we’ll make sure the garden stays safe.
Alfred: That way, Queen Lumera can watch over her people from here.
Vander: It is as she would wish, Prince Alfred.
