Fates Supports/Ryoma Azura

C Support
Azura: Goodness! These boxes are heavier than I thought.
Ryoma: Azura? What are you doing carrying all of those weapons by yourself?
Azura: It's not a problem.
Ryoma: Here. Let me help with that. Wow! Some of these are heavy! Why don't you carry that lighter box over there?
Azura: Thanks, Ryoma.
Ryoma: Would it kill you to ask for help once in a while?
Azura: I'm sorry. I think I just got carried away. You know I hate bothering people.
Ryoma: It's not a bother! I'd be glad to help you. I'm here for you anytime. Really.
Azura: Thanks, Ryoma. Now, please, will you stop worrying about me? Excuse me.
(Azura leaves)
Ryoma: Azura, wait! Hmm. I really thought she'd warm up to me one day. I've got to try something else.

Ryoma: Hello, Azura. Do you have a minute?
Azura: Yes. Actually, I've been looking for you.
Ryoma: Oh? You took our conversation to heart? So what can I help you with?
Azura: Nothing! I just heard that you've been talking about me behind my back.
Ryoma: Did you? Uh...well, that was a bit of a misunderstanding.
Azura: Was it?! Are you saying that you weren't talking about me?
Ryoma: *ahem* Well, I WAS talking about you, but not like that.
Azura: All right, Ryoma! Which is it?
Ryoma: The truth is, I was asking our friends for some advice. ...I want us to be closer. I thought my fellow soldiers might have some suggestions on approaching you.
Azura: Oh, my. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to give you such a hard time.
Ryoma: *sigh* That's all right. I should've come to you instead. Please, forgive me.
Azura: There's no need to apologize. You can make it up to me by doing me a favor.
Ryoma: Of course! Anything you ask!
Azura: Will you stop fussing over me? Avatar should be your priority now!
Ryoma: What does Avatar have to do with this?
Azura: Ever since I arrived in Hoshido, you treated me like I belonged. ...But we both know I was never supposed to be here. Avatar is your family!
Ryoma: Azura, you're wrong! There's room enough for both you and Avatar.
Azura: I've always been happy here. You and Queen Mikoto made sure of that. But now you should focus on making Avatar feel welcome instead.
(Azura leaves)
Ryoma: Azura, wait! ...Hmm. Is this why she's been avoiding me?
A Support
Azura: Goodness, Ryoma! You're blocking the whole hallway! May I get by?
Ryoma: No! I'm not moving—at least, not until you hear me out.
Azura: What do you mean?
Ryoma: I've been trying to talk to you all week, and every time I approach you, you run away! I'm sorry to corner you like this, but please, Azura, you have to listen!
Azura: I told you not to waste your time on me. You've found Avatar.
Ryoma: Why don't you understand? You've always been your own person! You may be here because Avatar was kidnapped, but you're not a replacement. If you'll give me a chance, I'd like to be close with Avatar and you.
Azura: Really?
Ryoma: Please, Azura. Don't make me say it again. I'm here for you...always.
Azura: Oh. I'm so relieved! I'm afraid I've grown pretty attached to all of you.
Ryoma: Good. I hope you'll lean on us a little more...well, especially me.
Azura: If you insist.
Ryoma: No. I want you to promise me that you'll ask for help when you need it.
Azura: I'm guessing you're going to stand there blocking the hallway until I say yes.
Ryoma: That wasn't my original plan, but it's not a bad idea.
Azura: All right. Yes. When I need something, I'll come find you. I promise.
Ryoma: Excellent. I'll be waiting.
S Support
Azura: Thanks again for carrying in the groceries.
Ryoma: Oh, uh... Sure. Not a problem.
Azura: There's one other thing. I could use help with this paperwork...if you have time.
Ryoma: Mmm-hmm.
Azura: Ryoma? Are you all right? You seem kind of distracted.
Ryoma: Huh? Did you say something?
Azura: Goodness! I'm so sorry. I've been dumping all this on you. Clearly, you're exhausted! I know you wanted me to ask for help, but I think I've gone a little overboard!
Ryoma: No! Don't apologize. It's my fault. I just didn't expect it to be like this. I told myself I would be content just to make your life easier, but I'm not.
Azura: I'm afraid I'm not following you.
Ryoma: The thing is I don't want to run errands and lift heavy objects for you. I want to be there for you emotionally too. I want to be there for you as a man.
Azura: Oh, my. What are you saying?
Ryoma: Azura, I've known you for so long, but I was always afraid to tell you how I felt. You never let anyone get close to you. I wanted to be the exception.
Azura: I've always felt shy around you. I was afraid my heart would break if I got too close.
Ryoma: I suppose we've both been trying to make the best of a bad situation.
Azura: It doesn't have to be that way anymore.
Ryoma: Are you saying that you want things to be different?
Azura: Yes, Ryoma! I don't want you to open jars for me and carry my groceries. I love you. I've been too scared to tell you that. I wasn't sure you felt the same.
Ryoma: Azura, I've always loved you. From now on, I'll be there for you as a man should. Will you promise me that you'll try to open up your heart a little more?
Azura: Yes! I was afraid of losing you, but now, I know we were meant to be together always.
