Fates Supports/Silas Felicia

C Support
Felicia: Careful...steady now... N-noooooo!
Silas: Practicing your poise, Felicia? Those poor, innocent teacups...
Felicia: Ah, Master Silas! My apologies... I didn't mean for you to see that shameful display.
Silas: I shouldn't make fun. You try so hard every day, and I respect that.
Felicia: You...came here just to say that? How very kind of you...
Silas: Well, no.
Felicia: Oh.
Silas: It's the opposite, actually... There are some worrying rumors going around in the ranks.
Felicia: Hmm? I haven't heard anything.
Silas: But you've noticed, I assume, that Avatar has been feeling poorly.
Felicia: Now that you mention it...he/she has seemed a bit distant.
Silas: As rumor has it...and it pains me to say this... People are wondering if you might be responsible for his/her diminished state.
Felicia: What?
Silas: You've spilled tea on Avatar, burnt his/her food, torn his/her laundry... The prevailing opinion is that these gaffes are taking their toll on Avatar.
Felicia: No, but I would never...
Silas: I'm not saying that I agree with them. I just thought you should be apprised of what people are saying.
Felicia: *sigh* That makes sense. Thanks for letting me know...
B Support
Felicia: Almost... Deep breaths... Eeeeek! Awww...I keep trying and trying, but I never get any better... I hate that I can't do this! I wish I could be better for Avatar...
Silas: Felicia...
Felicia: Silas?
Silas: My deepest apologies. Those rumors about Avatar's health seem to have been baseless.
Felicia: So he/she's all right?
Silas: Well, he/she's still under the weather. But not because of anything you did. Avatar claims he/she hasn't been feeling well because he/she isn't getting much sleep. He/She has a lot on his/her plate, after all, and not much time to get it all done. It stands to reason that he/she would have to sacrifice some sleep as a result.
Felicia: Oh...so that's why.
Silas: It was thoughtless of me to bring up those rumors to you. I should have gotten to the truth of the matter before making you so anxious. I'm very sorry...
Felicia: It's fine. Regardless, my mistakes have still been making Lord/Lady Avatar's life harder...
Silas: Not noticeably, I assure you. I wish I'd dismissed these silly rumors when the others brought them up to me... Then it might not have come to this. Is there any way I can earn your forgiveness?
Felicia: Earn my... But I've already forgiven you!
Silas: Maybe so, but I can't forgive myself until I feel I deserve it.
Felicia: What?
Silas: Surely there must be SOMETHING I can do to earn a pardon.
Felicia: Oh, um... I'll have to think about that...
A Support
Silas: Felicia... I've done a lot of thinking since the last time we spoke. I think I may have hit upon something I can do to earn your forgiveness.
Felicia: You really don't have to, but if you insist...
Silas: Why don't I give you some pointers on how to make fewer mistakes? How does that sound to you?
Felicia: Fewer mistakes? You think that's possible? Oh, I'd do anything...! I've been a klutz since I was a child. I'd given up hope on ever getting better...
Silas: Never give up hope, Felicia. It's only then that you really fail.
Felicia: I see... Well, I'd like to hear your idea.
Silas: Right! I'm sure this will help you improve. First, I want you to serve me some tea. But when you do, imagine that I'm on the brink of death. I've taken grave wounds in battle, and I'm about to breathe my last.
Felicia: What...?!
Silas: That's the picture you need to have in your head when you bring me my tea. If that's your mind-set, I guarantee that you won't spill a drop. Well? Would you like to try?
Felicia: I...think I understand. I'll try it, at any rate.
Silas: Ugh...I can see a light... If only I could have one last cup of tea...before the end...
Felicia: I-I'll fetch it right away! O-oh dear... This is so nerve wracking... But I can't flub this! I have to do it for Silas before he dies...! Pour the tea... Check Silas' vital signs... Add sugar... Make sure he's comfortable...
Silas: *cough*
Felicia: Oh...oh my... I-I did it!
Silas: Great work, Felicia! I knew you could do it if you tried! Focus on how you're feeling now... Keep that close at hand.
Felicia: I-I've got it! Thank you! That puts an end to this silly talk about you forgiving yourself, I hope.
Silas: ...Hm. Well, given that I did you a good turn, it should forgive my rudeness. Or so I think... What about you?
Felicia: I told you that you were forgiven days ago!
Silas: That's true, isn't it? So it all turned out well in the end.
S Support
Silas: It's good to see you again, Felicia.
Felicia: How may I be of service?
Silas: How's the job been since my advice? Are you holding your tray steady?
Felicia: Yes, but the thing is... I need to keep reminding myself that my guest is on the verge of death. Otherwise it doesn't help at all... And I think some of the guests notice, because they're looking at me funny...
Silas: Uh-oh! That's a hole in the theory I hadn't considered...
Felicia: Mm-hmm. It doesn't work out so well in practice.
Silas: I'm sorry. I didn't think it through...
Felicia: O-oh, but it's not a problem. I don't want you to think this means you're not forgiven anymore...
Silas: Thank you, that does cheer me up a bit. It was a heady experience, though, working together with you on a project. I'd like to rekindle that flame.
Felicia: Hmm...?
Silas: In that spirit, I'd like to give you this.
Felicia: Silas...is this...are you...?
Silas: It's a wedding ring, yes. Consider this my marriage proposal.
Felicia: Oh my! R-really?
Silas: I've fallen hopelessly for you. I can't imagine spending my life apart from you. Your clumsiness...your hard-working nature...I wouldn't change a thing.
Felicia: No one's ever said that to me before... If I'm the woman you want, then I happily accept your ring.
Silas: Indeed?
Felicia: Yes...though if you cheat on me, all bets are off.
Silas: Hah! If I ever cheat on you, I deserve whatever punishment you mete out. Feel free to pour scalding tea on me until I really am at death's door...
