...Um... Um, excuse me, are you Rutger?
...What do you want?
I was wondering if you would spar with me, if we get the chance.
...
I've also been training my sword skills, and I've won at many arenas around the continent. You don't have to go easy on me!
...I refuse.
Why? Is it becase I am a woman?
...When I swing my sword, I do so to kill people. I have no interest in using my sword for play.
Play!?

*Rutger leaves*

W-Wait...! ...He thought that I was playing around with my sword? I wanted to learn from him because his blade is so sharp and has no hesitation at all...

B Support

Rutger! We fight!
...Get out of my way.
No. I will not move until you understand that I am serious. Draw your sword! I have been serious about training my skills, and I will not allow you to say that it is simply for play. And I want to become stronger, so I want to learn from you.
...I told you that I use my sword to kill others.
Yes, I know. But my...
If I draw my blade here, you will die. Is that your wish?
...!
And you have no intention of killing me, either, do you?
Well...
That's why I say you're just playing around.
...
... *leaves*
...I just... ...But maybe I was being rude. I should apologize when I see him next.

A Support

Rutger. Wait, please don't glare at me like that... I'm not here to fight.
...
But your skills are indeed impressive. I still see you as a goal to reach. I wish I could be as strong as you...
...Just be yourself.
What?
My blade is covered with blood. There is no need to see your goal in that.
...Someone once told me... 'All paths of the sword lead to one place.' I still have yet to find out if that's true or not, but I can say that your sword is definitely on some kind of path. But I still have much to learn.
...Think what you will.

Rutger/Clarine

C Support

Oh! We certainly do meet a lot.
...You again?
My name is not 'you.' I am Clarine.
...
I have always wanted to tell you something.
...?
It is about how you look.

You actually do have quite an attractive face. Of course, it would come nowhere near my beloved brother Klein, but you are quite impressive for a commoner.
...
Therefore, I can use my advanced Etrurian aesthetic sense and make you into a truly handsome gentleman...

*Rutger leaves*

Oh? Wait! Where did he go? I was not finished speaking to him! So he is just a tramp after all!

B Support

There you are! I won't let you go this time!
...Knock it off.
What!? That is no way to respond to someone's kindness!
You're starting to get on my nerves.
...! Insulting a lady like that... That...is not how a proper gentleman...should act...
...
...
...All right, I'm sorry. ...Don't cry.
I-I'm not...!
...
...I know he is not to blame... But why am I acting this way...?

A Support

...Hey.
Oh...
You dropped this.
What? Oh, my ribbon... You brought it to me. Thank you.
...
Um... I just realized...I don't know your name... Would you please tell me your name, if it would not be any trouble?
...Rutger.
Rutger... I never even thanked you for saving me... It is no wonder you don't like me...
...
Thank you for rescuing me that time... I know it is already too late, but if you would accept my thanks...
...Not like you.
What?
Don't try something you're not used to. You're good at screaming, so why don't you do it?
W-What!? What do you mean by that!?
There you go... That's more like you. Come like that and make me laugh once in a while, Clarine.
...!
