C Support

Oboro: They say you've been volunteering for mop- up operations left and right. Is that true?

Jakob: Pardon? You're...Oboro, right?

Oboro: I didn't come here to introduce myself. Answer the question.

Jakob: You heard correctly, then.

Oboro: I had a bad feeling about you...and it looks like I was right.

Jakob: It's clear by your face that you don't care much for me.

Oboro: *shrug* People who willingly go on mop-up runs are scum, plain and simple. Getting your jollies by going after troops who've already been beaten is disgusting.

Jakob: I take no pleasure in it.

Oboro: Doesn't matter. You volunteered, which makes you just as bad. That's why I'm giving you the stink-eye.

Jakob: Think what you like. It has no bearing on me one way or the other.

Oboro: All right, then. Good talk.

B Support

Oboro: It's you...

Jakob: So you're going to make that face every time you see me, hmm?

Oboro: Probably.

Jakob: That's overreacting a little to my decision to volunteer for the mop-up operation, no? Out on the battlefield, you can't always pick and choose your allies.

Oboro: Sorry. I hate what I hate. There must be something you despise on that same gut level, right?

Jakob: I only have one standard of judgment. There are those who side with Lord/Lady Avatar, and everyone else.

Oboro: That's a simplistic way of looking at things.

Jakob: Maybe, but it's all that matters to me. Lord/Lady Avatar's enemies are my enemies. His/Her allies are my allies.

Oboro: Now explain to me what that has to do with mowing down helpless enemies?

Jakob: It has everything to do with it. It's impossible to truly know an enemy's mind just by looking at them. So long as they're armed, they present a threat to Lord/Lady Avatar. That's why I'm so ruthless in stamping them out, even when they're weak. I don't care if it's underhanded or if you're uncomfortable with it. It must be done.

Oboro: You care that much about Lord/Lady Avatar?

Jakob: Have a care, Oboro.

Oboro: Seriously? Why?

Jakob: I don't care about your opinion of me. But if you do anything, or fail to, that puts Lord/Lady Avatar at risk... I will consider you his/her enemy and crush you without hesitating.

Oboro: Sorry if I gave you the wrong idea. I'd never think of betraying Lord/Lady Avatar.

Jakob: Of course not. I just thought it would be good for us both to know where we stand.

A Support

Oboro: Jakob.

Jakob: You stopped baring your teeth at the sight of me. I'm honored.

Oboro: Yeah...I've gotten used to you by now.

Jakob: Despite my willingness to take on mop-up operations?

Oboro: Stop right there. It's not like I'm mad about that for no reason.

Jakob: Oh...?

Oboro: I'll never forget the sight of it...the moment those Nohrians killed my family. My parents weren't even fighting back, but the bandits cut them down in front of me.

Jakob: Right before your eyes? Were you on your own after that?

Oboro: Nah. After my parents died, I got passed off on some relatives at the castle. They were soldiers, and never had children, so they raised me like their own daughter. I figured I'd return the favor by training hard, and now here I am.

Jakob: I see...

Oboro: It was terrible, what happened, but... I've made my peace with it. I wouldn't have become a soldier if my parents weren't killed. But sometimes I get to thinking... What if the bandits raided some other caravan? Or if they'd left after looting the wagons, instead of wiping everyone out?

Jakob: And that's what comes to mind now when you think of mop-up operations, hmm? That's why you hate those who willingly perform these duties.

Oboro: Look, I know the enemy is the enemy, and sometimes you have to be merciless. But still...

Jakob: Nobody has a perfect heart.

Oboro: Come again?

Jakob: Hate all you like. You have better reasons than most.

Oboro: Jakob...

Jakob: If you take it too far, mind you, I'll put a stop to it. But so long as you're Lord/Lady Avatar's ally, you are my ally as well.

Oboro: Thanks...I think. I already considered you an ally anyway.

Jakob: That's your prerogative.

S Support

Jakob: I need a promise from you, Oboro.

Oboro: Hello to you too, Jakob. Is this how you start all your conversations?

Jakob: Just listen. It's important.

Oboro: So what do I need to promise?

Jakob: That you'll never betray Lord/Lady Avatar.

Oboro: Oh, come on...

Jakob: Promise me.

Oboro: Where is this coming from? Do you really think I'd betray Lord/Lady Avatar?

Jakob: No. If I did, this encounter would be going very differently.

Oboro: Then don't ask such silly questions! I'd never backstab Lord/Lady Avatar!

Jakob: You're right, of course. I just wanted to be absolutely sure.

Oboro: Is this a thing you're doing now? Going around and making everyone promise?

Jakob: No. I was only interested in your response. Because out of everyone here...I could never bring myself to fight you...

Oboro: What are you getting at?

Jakob: It seems that...I've fallen for you, Oboro.

Oboro: What?!

Jakob: I had hoped that one day we might be... married...

Oboro: Y-you want to marry me? This is the first I knew you were interested at all! What brought this on?

Jakob: I like to think that I'm a good judge of character. I'm confident I understand your charms better than anyone else.

Oboro: I...I'm flattered, but...

Jakob: And now that you've promised never to betray Lord/Lady Avatar... I can feel comfortable proposing to you.

Oboro: I...see...

Jakob: Please marry me, Oboro. I'd like to start a family of our own.

Oboro: A new family... That's the greatest thing anyone has ever suggested to me. I'll do it, Jakob. I'll marry you.

Jakob: I'll be counting the days to the ceremony.

Oboro: But I need a promise from you too first.

Jakob: Name it.

Oboro: You can't die. I won't be left alone again.

Jakob: Oh, my dear Oboro...I'd never do that to you. I promise to always stay by your side and ensure that your days are happy ones.
