C Support

Soleil: Haaaah! HRAH!

Dwyer: Stop shouting. I'm trying to nap over here.

Soleil: Oh, gosh! I'm sorry; did I wake you up? I'll try to be quieter about my sword drills.

Dwyer: That'd be great.

Soleil: You know...napping is great and all, but why don't you practice with me? There's nothing like working up a good sweat!

Dwyer: Pass. My regular work is hard enough without exerting myself in my free time.

Soleil: So lazy, Dwyer! You'll never be a hit with the girls if you lounge around all day.

Dwyer: What business is it of yours?

Soleil: Whewwww... Maybe I should take a breather myself. Ugh...my clothes are soaked through with sweat. Well, that's an easy fix!

Dwyer: W-wait! Soleil! Don't change clothes here!

Soleil: Why not? I really want to get these gross clothes off now that I'm done training.

Dwyer: But...I'm right here. I'll...see...

Soleil: Oh, is that all? I don't care.

Dwyer: You should care! Because even if you don't, I do!

Soleil: Hahah! Hey, no one's forcing you to look!

Dwyer: That's... Well, that's technically true. Still, though...

Soleil: Suit yourself. I'll just go change over there instead.

(Soleil leaves)

Dwyer: Why am I feeling embarrassed when she's the one taking her clothes off in public...?

B Support

Soleil: Hmm...so I'm supposed to turn and step, not step and turn? But in that case... what do I do with my arms? Ugh, why does this have to be so hard?

Dwyer: Hm? Is that you, Soleil?

Soleil: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Dwyer! What are you doing here?! Did you see me just now?!

Dwyer: Settle down. What's got you so worked up, anyway?

Soleil: Answer the question! Did you, or did you not, see me just now?

Dwyer: Yes, I saw you...spinning around in a circle, for some reason. Were you performing some sort of ritual?

Soleil: No! That was me practicing my dancing!

Dwyer: You're...serious? That was a dance? It looked like some kind of demon- summoning ritual to me.

Soleil: Shut up! That's why I practice in SECRET! *sigh* I can't believe you saw that. I could just about die of embarrassment...

Dwyer: You didn't care that I saw you change clothes, yet you're mortified by this?

Soleil: Well, YEAH! I'd much rather people see me in my undies than them see me try to dance!

Dwyer: I can't help but think the first scenario would be the more embarrassing one...

Soleil: I have zero sense of rhythm. Which is why I practice in private. You'd better own up to this, Dwyer.

Dwyer: What?

Soleil: You know, for what you did!

Dwyer: Are you insinuating I was at fault for... whatever you're upset over?

Soleil: I'm upset that you were peeping on me and my terrible dancing!

Dwyer: Peeping?! Get over yourself! I just happened to walk by and—

Soleil: It doesn't matter how it happened! Just own up to it, OK? You have to help me practice now.

Dwyer: That doesn't sound like something I'd want to do.

Soleil: Oh, I think you'd regret not doing it. Especially after I tell everyone I caught you looking at me in a moment of weakness.

Dwyer: You wouldn't... Yes, you would. Fine. You leave me no choice.

Soleil: S-so you'll help?! Yay! Then let's get right to it!

Dwyer: Yes, let's. The sooner we get this over with, the better...

A Support

Dwyer: Ready, set... One and two, and one and two...

Soleil: Yes! Got it! Doing good so far!

Dwyer: Spin... Spin... And freeze!

Soleil: Spinning...and...TA-DA! *pant* *wheeze* Wh-what did you think? Am I getting better?

Dwyer: Yes... I could see some improvements.

Soleil: Yesss! I knew it! I could feel the rhythm in my feet that time.

Dwyer: Instead of summoning a demon, now it looks more like you're calling down rain.

Soleil: ... Is that really better?

Dwyer: Probably...?

Soleil: Ugh! Why did you say that like it's a question?! Eh, but getting mad at you won't fix anything. If I haven't improved, that's on me. Sorry...I just never seem to get any better at this. Even WITH all the time you take to help me practice.

Dwyer: Don't worry about it.

Soleil: But I'm still as bad as I was when we started. Isn't that frustrating for you? You can quit if you want. I'll understand.

Dwyer: I won't deny this is unbearably tedious. But even I wouldn't abandon a friend who's trying her hardest...

Soleil: Thanks, Dwyer. Also, sorry...

Dwyer: No need to apologize to me. You're trying to better yourself. Stick with it, and I'll stick with you.

Soleil: OK! I'll keep at it, then. I really might have given up if you hadn't said something, though!

Dwyer: Ready to get back to practice now?

Soleil: I will in just a minute. Gotta change into some less sweaty clothes first!

Dwyer: No! Stop! We've TALKED about this!

Soleil: Ahaha! Sorry, sorry! I'll be back in a minute!

S Support

Dwyer: One and two, one and two, and TURN!

Soleil: OK! One and two, three and four aaaand... turn! Whew...

Dwyer: You've been working hard. Here, have some cold tea.

Soleil: Thanks. So? How was my dancing?

Dwyer: I think it really...showed your unique personality...

Soleil: That's not an answer! Just come out and tell me what you thought.

Dwyer: It's less like a rain dance now and more like a pigeon's courtship dance...

Soleil: Ugh...that's not much of an improvement.

Dwyer: Don't be too hard on yourself. I think your determination in the face of failure is noble.

Soleil: Thanks for trying, but... I'd feel better if any of this practice seemed to be helping at all. *sigh* Guess I was just born with two left feet.

Dwyer: Nonsense. I'll stay and help you practice until you get good, if I must.

Soleil: Ahahaha! Better be careful what you promise. You might end up regretting it.

Dwyer: Why's that?

Soleil: Think about what you're saying. You'll stay to help me until I get good? You could be stuck watching me practice for the rest of your life.

Dwyer: Eh. If that's what it takes.

Soleil: ...Seriously?

Dwyer: Yeah. We're friends, right? A real friend would do that for you.

Soleil: Wow. You're giving me a lot of credit. I don't know if I'd be that good a friend if the tables were turned.

Dwyer: Sure you would. I have total faith in you. We've been together this long, after all.

Soleil: I hope you're right... Heh. You know, whatever anyone else says, you have your moments, Dwyer.

Dwyer: I do? Wait, what do other people say?

Soleil: Oh! But there's a problem. If I did get good at dancing, you wouldn't need to hang around anymore, huh?

Dwyer: ...You don't need to worry about that.

Soleil: Because I'll never get good?!

Dwyer: ...

Soleil: I was afraid of that...

Dwyer: Soleil! I was just kidding. Even when you learn to dance, I'll still stick by you.

Soleil: Oh! Well, that's a relief. Then let's get back to it! Watch closely, Dwyer—here I go!
