Three Houses Supports/Ashe Cyril
C Support
Ashe: What are all these books doing on the floor? Hey, Cyril, what's going on here?
Cyril: I'm tidying up the library--
sweeping the floors, dusting the
shelves, restacking the books...
Ashe: Isn't there a schedule for library cleaning duty? Why are you doing all of this by yourself?
Cyril: Oh, I'm helping out the kid whose job it is. He says I'm making him look bad, but I'm just happy to help. Besides, some of these books are valuable. Gotta handle 'em carefully. Not a lot of people get that.
Ashe: But there are so many. You really
think you'll get all this done today?
Cyril: Easy. There's more stuff to do tomorrow, so the library has gotta get done today.
Ashe: And I guess you're planning to do
all that by yourself too.
Cyril: Yep.
Ashe: Come on, it'll be dusk soon. Let
me help.
Cyril: Nah, it's my job and I'm gonna
do it.
Ashe: There is no way one person can
shelve all these books before
nightfall, Cyril!
Cyril: Like I said, these books need to
be handled real careful. Shouldn't you
be doing your own thing anyway?
This is my job, and I'm gonna do it
because I know Lady Rhea expects it
done a certain way.
Ashe: I can't just stand here and
watch. I won't get in your way, all
right?
I'll handle this shelf and you take
the next one.
Cyril: Listen! I said I don't need your help.
Ashe: I promise I'll be careful, OK? Let's just get to it.
Cyril: Ugh, fine. You do over there.
I'll do all of this.
Ashe: Got it.
Cyril: Ugh...
B Support
Cyril: Hey, Ashe.
Ashe: Hey there, Cyril. Is something on
your mind?
Cyril: Well, I just...I wanted to thank
ya for helping me.
Ashe: Huh? When do you mean?
Cyril: You know, when ya helped me with
cleaning up the library?
Ashe: Ah, right! That was quite a while
ago! I'd completely forgotten about it.
No need to thank me though. It was nothing. Do you need help with anything today? I've got some spare time. I really don't mind.
Cyril: Well, I'd rather take care of the stuff I've been asked to do on my own.
Ashe: I could give you a hand though,
couldn't I?
Cyril: Yeah, ya could, but I sure would rather ya didn't. Me doing those jobs is why I get to stay here, even though I'm an Almyran.
Ashe: Oh, so it's a status thing. I can
understand that.
I can get pretty awkward if I ever
have to ask a favor from a noble.
Cyril: Exactly. That's why I don't want anybody's help.
Ashe: You don't need to feel that way around me though. I'm just a commoner. I'm only in here thanks to a bit of luck, so really, I'm just the same as you. I don't know if that's exactly true, but maybe... Either way, birth and social status don't really matter for us, do they? After all, we're friends, right?
Cyril: Friends?
Ashe: Yeah. And when a friend needs you, you've got to help, don't you?
Cyril: I don't know. I guess I've never
been anybody's friend before.
Ashe: It's easy. If I'm in trouble, you
help me out. And if you need something,
I help you too.
Cyril: Huh... OK. But I've packed up
for the day already, so maybe ya could
help me out next time?
Ashe: Sure! Whenever you need a hand,
just let me know.
Cyril: Ashe is my friend...and friends
help each other out. Yeah... That
sounds nice.
A Support
Ashe: No good. I've lost sight of them completely, and those monsters might still be out there... I'd better get back to the monastery before dark.
Cyril: Ashe!
Ashe, I finally found ya.
Ashe: Cyril? What are you doing here?
You're awfully far from your post.
I'd heard you'd gone missing, so I
started looking for you everywhere.
Here, I brought you a map. You can use
this to get home later, right?
Ashe: You came all this way for that?
Alone? It's dangerous out here.
Cyril: Am I being a nuisance?
Ashe: Of course not. This is a big help
actually.
You took a serious risk coming out here
though.
Cyril: But...I thought we were friends?
That's what you told me, Ashe. You
said friends help each other when
they're in trouble.
Ashe: I did say that. You're right.
Come on, let's get back to the
monastery. I could use your help
finding the way.
Cyril: I know you could. That's why I
came out here.
Oh no. I just thought about it. I'm
gonna be in trouble when I get back,
huh?
Ashe: Maybe. Leaving your post is
against orders.
But don't worry. I'll take a share of
the punishment.
Cyril: What? Why? You did nothing
wrong.
Ashe: True. We're friends though,
aren't we?
Cyril: Friends gotta get punished
together too? I don't know about all
that.
Ashe: I wouldn't put it like that. I'd
say friends stick together, through
good and bad.
So, let's split the blame. That's what
friends are for.
Cyril: Wow, so that's what friends are for. OK then. When you're in trouble next time and you need my help, I'll go with ya to get punished.
Ashe: Good. I hope you remember that, because I think we're going to be friends for a long time.
Cyril: You betcha. Friends for life,
Ashe. That's a promise.
