C Support

Severa:
Mmm, those peaches smell amazing! They were totally worth splurging on!

Laurent:
Severa, where did this veritable mountain of fruit come from?

Severa:
The market, where else? They just looked too tasty to pass up.

Laurent:
I told you last time not to purchase anything that isn't on the list... If we keep buying unnecessary food, it will rot before we can use it. Our treasury is not so great that we can splurge on excess supplies.

Severa:
Oh, whatever! It's only a little fruit. And besides, once folks see how great it all looks, they'll finish them off in no time!

Laurent:
That does not address the crux of my argument.

Severa:
Human beings need a little treat now and then to survive, Laurent. I mean, maybe not you! ...But most of us. And if you take away the joy in life, what's left to fight for? See, so I'm actually helping morale whenever I buy tasty fruit.

Laurent:
Starving, however, is bad for morale. And that's precisely what will happen if you continue squandering the food budget. What's more, you make additional work for me when I try to balance the books.

Severa:
Pffft! Yeah, whatever! An egghead like you will figure it all out, I'm sure! Besides, what's done is done. The milk is spilt, so quit cryin'! Now cheer up and enjoy some fresh fruit. Wouldn't want it to spoil, after all.

Laurent:
I fail to understand how one individual can be so selfish, time and again. It will take me hours to draft a new budget.

Severa:
Stop fretting over every little detail! You'll worry yourself to an early grave.

Laurent:
If anything dooms me to an early grave, it's like to be that insufferable woman...


B Support

Severa:
Oh. ...You.

Laurent:
Hello, Severa.

Severa:
*Sigh*

Laurent:
Can I help you?

Severa:
Oh, just remembering the last procurement run has me exhausted all over again.

Laurent:
I would express a similar frustration. It's become almost impossible to handle expenses with you at the helm.

Severa:
And just what is that supposed to mean?

Laurent:
Precisely what it sounds like. Every time you come back with desserts or silly baubles, I have to make cuts elsewhere.

Severa:
Okay, could you try to sound a little more condescending? You're no joy to shop with either, you know! Every time you open your mouth, it's "budget" this, or "unnecessary" that! Shopping should be an adventure, not some boring old list. You have to open up to new discoveries! Go where the moment takes you and stuff!

Laurent:
We are procuring supplies for an army, not impulse shopping for our own amusement.

Severa:
I know that, but this army has needs, and one of those needs is to have a little fun! Gods, would it kill you to listen to me maybe once?

Laurent:
If you're asking me to say that wasting our scant resources is a good idea, I won't. You joke about what will or won't kill me, but it's a question I consider every day. We are at war, Severa. There is no shortage of things that could kill us all. The only thing keeping us alive is prudent and careful planning.

Severa:
And that situation is exactly why I'm saying we need a little joy in our lives! Walking around with an abacus all day isn't what I consider good for morale.

Laurent:
Frivolous spending isn't going to make anyone's life easier.

Severa:
Okay, we're getting nowhere. ...Mostly because someone is being a jerk! So fine. Buy hardtack and stale bread until the cows come home. I'm done shopping with you, mister!

Laurent:
If you are resigning from the procurement runs, I gladly accept. If it was up to me, I'd have taken you off the project weeks ago.

Severa:
Oh no, I'm not quitting before you! I'm just shopping on my own, thank you! You're on your own, cheapskate!


A Support

Severa:
I just... I still can't believe it...

Laurent:
Severa?

Severa:
Oh. Hello.

Laurent:
You look dazed. The company must have thanked you as well, then?

Severa:
Yes! It's been a total barrage of praise ever since the two of us went shopping. Chrom even searched me out just to offer his compliments.

Laurent:
It has been almost surreal... Especially in spite of our prior arguments. It seems we managed to strike a perfect balance. Nothing missing, nothing wasted. People have been especially excited over the more...extraneous items.

Severa:
That has to feel pretty good as the guy responsible for the shopping budget.

Laurent:
Yes, though I would never have thought to purchase half of what they mentioned. Much of it appeared wasteful to my eye, but it seems you had the right of it. I apologize for doubting your selections.

Severa:
Oh, it's fine. Besides, I'd have spent twice as much if you hadn't made me think about the excesses. Stubbornness aside, you really are good with numbers, and you always stay on task.

Laurent:
Thank you. Praise from you is a rare treat indeed. I suppose this means that together we were able to do what neither could alone.

Severa:
Yeah. For all our arguing, we actually make a pretty good team.

Laurent:
I would welcome your help again on the next procurement run. If you wouldn't mind joining me, that is.

Severa:
As long as you promise to let me handle the fruit, I'm there!


S Support

Severa:
Sounds like our last procurement run was another rousing success.

Laurent:
And nearly painless, now that I've grown accustomed to your...quirks. These days, I feel like I'm even starting to understand your tastes.

Severa:
I dunno, Laurent. I'm a tough woman to figure out sometimes.

Laurent:
Believe me, there is much of you that remains a mystery to me. But one thing is clear: I ought never think to go shopping alone again. Your help is invaluable. I do hope you'll continue to join me in the future.

Severa:
Hmm...

Laurent:
...Is something the matter, Severa?

Severa:
You say you've started to understand my tastes, right? ...But can you guess what I want right now?

Laurent:
...I don't understand. Is this a riddle of some kind? Are you going to ask me what is in your pocket next?

Severa:
You should be able to read me pretty well by now, right? So guess what I'm thinking.

Laurent:
Telepathy has been scientifically proven to be nothing more than the work of—

Severa:
Try.

Laurent:
Very well... ...... ...I suspect it's the same thing I'm thinking.

Severa:
And...what might that be?

Laurent:
I was hoping you would be my partner not just in shopping, but in all things in life. If that were, in fact, what you were thinking, I should count myself a very happy man.

Severa:
......

Laurent:
Granted, that's less mind reading than mere wishful thinking.

Severa:
No, you're...right on the money.

Laurent:
Truly?

Severa:
Yeah. Truly.

Laurent:
Ah. Well, that is a relief! I was skeptical of what would happen if I said all that, only to be rebuffed.

Severa:
For someone who's always needling people, you can be so timid when it counts! Well, you'll never lack for brashness with me at your side!

Laurent:
Heh, I have no doubts on that count. What a perfectly mismatched couple we make, eh?
