Supports: Chapter 13

We're still on our way to Begnion, so here are some more Supports to keep us sane on the ride there!

Today's Supports.

• Mia/Ilyana C
• Mist/Mordecai C
• Oscar/Kieran C
• Rhys/Rolf C
• Ike/Titania B

C Supports

Mia/Ilyana C

Mia: Hah! Today is a good day. I’m feeling lucky! Maybe I’ll meet someone to duel… Maybe my true archrival!
Ilyana: …
Mia: Ack! You scared me! Hah! Sneaking up behind me like that… You’re a crafty one!
Ilyana: Um…sorry. Please let me pass…
Mia: Huh? Oh, sure…
Ilyana: Excuse me…
Mia: So, do you want to duel? At dawn, perhaps? I love dueling at dawn! Awww…never mind. It wouldn’t be much of a challenge. You’re looking a bit sickly.
Ilyana: Sorry… I’m just feeling weak.
Mia: She looks so…fragile. Maybe I should watch her back. Just to make sure nothing bad happens to her… Oh well…back to sword practice!

Were you wondering why Ilyana had no screenshotted lines? She fails the sexy lamp test in this thing!

Mist/Mordecai C

Mist: Oh, no! Come back here, you!
Mist: Hm. Where did that thing go? I could have sworn it fell around here somewhere…
Mordecai: Looking for this?
Mist: Wow! M-Mordecai… You scared me.
Mordecai: I am sorry to frighten you. I found this. Is it something you lost?
Mist: Oh, I… Yes, that’s… Some of my clothes were drying on the line, and a breeze carried one of my scarves away… Thank you, Mordecai.
Mordecai: You are welcome.
Mist: Uh… Mordecai?
Mordecai: Yes?
Mist: Oh, uh… Well… I’m sorry; it’s nothing.
Mordecai: If you say so. I will take my leave of you now.
Mist: Ahhh… What’s wrong with me? I can’t believe I couldn’t do it. Why can’t I be more like Ike? He’s so casual, so calm all the time. I can’t keep panicking like that.

Still on a boat, Mist. Is the laundry that vital? Mist/Mordecai is a chain I love very much, and it's worth doing because Mist/Mordecai is a Water/Water pair ([+1 Atk, +1 Def]). If you want to try using Mordecai, you're doing yourself a disservice if you skip this chain.

Oscar/Kieran C

Oscar: Hi, Kieran. How are you?
Kieran: What the… Oscar! How I loathe that name! Don’t give me such pleasant greetings! I care not for them!
Oscar: What did I do now?
Kieran: Oh ho! Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten our second year of enlistment! The year we completed horsemanship? There was a final race to end the year… My beloved horse and I were flawless, but you beat us by the smallest of margins!
Oscar: Huh? Oh, are you talking about that race you challenged me to? Yeah, that was fun… But I thought the distance between us was at least three lengths–
Kieran: Ha! LIAR! Deceitful, lying, squinty coward! That was the very moment I marked you as my archrival! Don’t pretend not to care!
Oscar: Uh…wow. I had no idea–
Kieran: But why!? I must know why you left the Crimean knighthood without a word of explanation! I devoted myself to training with my horse! I worked day and night so I could best my archrival… And thanks to my extreme devotion… I didn’t realize you were gone until six months later! Delinquent! Reneger!
Oscar: Wait a sec… Kieran. How is that my fault?

The joys of being Kieran. Second only to the joys of standing next to Kieran. Oscar and Kieran are a series tradition of two friendly characters who wear red and green, and usually they're cavaliers. Oscar and Kieran knew each other in the Crimean Knights, although apparently, Kieran's version of events is much different from Oscar's. I'm inclined to believe Oscar, honestly.

Rhys/Rolf C

Rolf: Rhys!
Rhys: Hello, Rolf. Oof! Thanks for the hug! Why are you running like that? Did something happen?
Rolf: Nope. I just ran because I saw you! Say, how are you feeling?
Rhys: Today I feel fine, thanks. I did light exercise this morning and finished all my breakfast.
Rolf: Oh, I’m glad to hear that! When it’s hard for you, let me know! I remember when you used to get sick and stay in bed all the time! But here you are, fighting every day.
Rhys: Ha! I remember those days… This new job is hard sometimes, but it’s nice to be with everyone.
Rolf: I know! All that you and me and Mist ever did was stay behind at the stupid fort while everyone else was fighting. Being left alone was sad and scary, huh?
Rhys: Yes, I suppose it was… Remember the time we heard Commander Greil discussing that dangerous mission in the strategy room? When our friends left the fort, the three of us prayed so hard for their safe return… Those were the longest days of my life.
Rolf: That’s why I’m scared to fight sometimes… But I still think it’s good that we’re fighting together now!
Rhys: Positive thoughts are always a help. It’s pointless to focus on the negative all the time.
Rolf: You said it, Rhys! Let’s think positively! Otherwise, I…
Rhys: Otherwise what, Rolf?
Rolf: Oh, um… nothing! I gotta go see Mist now. See you later, Rhys!
Rhys: Hmm…

..."Hmm" is right. I think Rhys has done a lot of work on the Mist/Rolf Support sequence in just his C Support. That's honestly amazing. And kind of weird, considering PoR still has the 5 Support limit that discourages one from trying this.

B Support

Ike/Titania B

Ike: Do you have a moment, Titania?
Titania: Ike! How can I help you?
Ike: Remember what we talked about the other day? About when you met my father?
Titania: Um… Yeah… That…
Ike: I know you don’t want to talk about it, so I won’t force you or anything.
Titania: It’s not like I don’t want to. It’s just… It’s hard to talk about my past. Still… You deserve to know as much about your father as possible… All right, I’ll tell you.
Ike: Great!
Titania: When I was a Crimean knight, I entered an officer exchange program and was sent to Gallia. Where your father was. On my first day, they held a joint training session in the royal hall. That’s where I saw Commander Greil’s might for the first time. He took on wave after wave of knights and defeated them like they were children. His swordsmanship was brilliant… The other knights barely had time to lift their weapons before Commander Greil had them on the ground. He was the mightiest warrior I had ever seen. My body… trembled at the thought of it.
Ike: Whoa.
Titania: I tried to cross swords with him, but he was so far out of my league… Ha! It was laughable! But I asked him to train me, and he agreed. After that, whenever we had a spare hour, we would meet and spar. We soon grew close, and after a few weeks, he invited me to his home. That’s when I saw you.
Ike: Me?
Titania: Yes. You were sleeping in your mother’s arms, and she was smiling. You were adorable. The Commander looked at you with such kind eyes… I saw a different person than the man who wielded a sword.
Ike: I see.

Ike/Titania A requires a lot of effort, and I hope I don't accidentally stuff it up.
