Author's Note: Hello reader! This a project I began awhile ago where I've been writing support conversations for my Genealogy pairings. The chapter names will denote which chapters have which support. Also as a note []'s denote actions or any additional info to help move the support along. Our first parings is... Raquesis and Azel level C-S.

LEVEL C

Azel: "Hmm? Is that… sobbing I hear?" [He turns around on the path to see Raquesis crying on a nearby bench] "Raquesis are you okay?"

Raquesis: "Azel? I-I'm fine…"

Azel: "No you're not; you're crying. What's the matter?"

Raquesis: [she sighs] "It's something you wouldn't understand…"

Azel: "Is it something about your brother Eldigan?"

Raquesis: "y-yes… but like I said you wouldn't get it so just leave me alone!"

Azel: "I don't know, I might understand better than you think, I have an older brother too you know."

Raquesis: "Lord Arvis, the duke of Velthomer correct? Well, he's still alive and Eldigan isn't so don't pretend we're at all similar."

Azel: "I know you're upset and sometimes it helps just to have a good cry but it can also help to talk about it too. Why don't you help me understand then?"

Raquesis: "Because… Because.." [she continues to cry quietly]

Azel: "Because… what? You can trust me Raquesis."

Raquesis: "I-I don't know what to do anymore now that Eldigan's gone. It's like my life no longer has any meaning."

Azel: "I'm guessing then he usually told you what to do um…I mean, advised and guided you in your decisions."

Raquesis: "Yes, I was his little sister after all, he was always looking out for me and I never thought he…"

Azel: "You never thought this would happen to him right?"

Raquesis: "Right…and now I don't know what to do anymore. I feel so helpless, is this normal?"

Azel: "It's just a stage of grief is all, it will pass. It's perfectly normal to grieve for a lost loved one."

Raquesis: "Then what do you suggest I do?"

Azel: "I suggest finding something that you're passionate about, something that you can devote yourself to. Be it a friend, or cause or whatever it happens to be—something to restore your vitality for the next phase your life."

Raquesis: [she pauses a moment] "I guess... Talking to you did help a little Azel."

Azel: "Good. I'm glad. If you ever want to talk some more, my door's always open."

Raquesis: "…Maybe I'll take you up on that offer."

Azel: "You're welcome anytime."

Raquesis: "but… If you dare tell anyone about me crying I'll make sure you regret it!"

Azel: "I-I… wouldn't dare tell!"

LEVEL B

Raquesis: [she approaches Azel's door and knocks] "Azel, you in there? It's me Raquesis, can I come in?'

Azel: "Sure! It's unlocked."

Raquesis: [she enters] "you said I could talk you anytime right?'

Azel: "Yeah. What is it that's bothering you?"

Raquesis: "It's losing Eldigan... Same as before. But, I notice you didn't tell anyone about seeing me cry so I'm going to trust you. Promise you won't repeat anything about to tell you to any soul living or dead?"

Azel: "Living or dead? Well that's a little strange but I promise."

Raquesis: "Ok then." [She takes a seat in the chair next to him] "I guess I'll start off bluntly, my father and mother wanted desperately for me to have been a boy. Eldigan got really sick and they were worried they were going to lose their only heir. So they had me, hoping I would've been a boy so I could inherit the lands and replace Eldigan should he die. But I wasn't... And Eldigan got better and they didn't know what to do with me. I felt neglected, unloved… uncared for."

Azel: "That sounds horrible!"

Raquesis: "Yes… but Eldigan was always kind me, always looking out for me and making me feel valued. Whenever he was gone I was just ignored… or paraded around as a bargaining chip."

Azel: "So that's why you cared for him so much."

Raquesis: [she nods] "He gave me a sense of self-worth, validated me and made me feel like I had a purpose."

Azel: "I know how you feel."

Raquesis: "What do you mean? You're a duke's second son- you had importance. If your brother Arvis ever died you would've inherited Velthomer! I'm sure you were always dotted upon."

Azel: "That's not exactly true…"

Raquesis: "Of course it is! You're-"

Azel: [he hangs his head sadly]"the product of one of my father's affairs."

Raquesis: "W-what..?"

Azel: "That's right, Arvis is my half-brother. My father was a known drunkard and womanizer, He had me by one of the serving girls. Arvis' mother was his wife."

Raquesis: "Oh Azel… I had no idea, I'm so sorry"

Azel: "There's no need to apologize. There was nothing I could've done about it. But I bring it up because I too grow up feeling unwanted. I got called all sorts of names by my peers and older adults alike. Arvis was kind to me though. He didn't care about the circumstances surrounding my birth, even if it did ultimately leave him orphaned. All that mattered to him was that we were family."

Raquesis: "I'm sorry I ever doubted you Azel, Here I had thought you were some spoiled second son. I'm so sorry for jumping to that conclusion."

Azel: "You though I was spoiled? Far from it actually, I always got Arvis' hand-me-downs for everything from clothes to books. I didn't mind though, I really looked up to and admired him. But then, as he got older something happened. He seemed more cold, uncaring and distant. It's like he wanted me to turn out just like him or something… So I ran away. I joined up with Sigurd's army to save lady Adean."

Raquesis: "Lady Adean is fine now so—and please don't think me intrusive-why are you still here?"

Azel: "I decided that I'd rather choose my own path then have Arvis dictate everything I do. …but sometimes…"

Raquesis: "You miss him right?

Azel: "Yeah… I know he still loves me but it's getting harder and harder to believe that."

Raquesis: "I'm sorry Azel, I misjudged you. You've gone through just as much hardship as I have… I feel terrible thinking I was the only one hurting."

Azel: "[laughs shyly].. It's almost funny. You came in here seeking comfort from me and now you're the one who's offering it to me."

Raquesis: "It's strange… there's something about you I can just trust It's like I can spill all my secrets to you without care."

Azel: "Let's stick together from now on then, I like you Raquesis and I think it's good for us to be together."

Raquesis: "Agreed. And don't worry, I promise I won't tell anyone what you told me."

LEVEL A

[Raquesis stands outside the great hall alone, Azel then comes down the hallway]

Azel: "Hey Raquesis, what are you doing out here? Everyone's inside at the banquet."

Raquesis: "I could ask you the same thing."

Azel: "I was just on my way there myself, Lex and I just finished with our training so I was putting my tomes away."

Raquesis: "I'm not going in there."

Azel: "Why not? I thought you loved parties?"

Raquesis: "I can't face everyone, not after what happened!"

Azel: "What? What happened?"

Raquesis: "I don't want to talk about it."

Azel: "Oh come now, there are no secrets between us remember? I promise I won't laugh or tell anyone."

Raquesis: "If I told you, you would never think of me the same way again."

Azel: "That's not true. You'll always be the lovely Raquesis to me"

Raquesis: "…There's a rumour going around about me."

Azel: "What rumour?"

Raquesis: "Oh don't play dumb. I'm sure you've heard it, everyone has!"

Azel: "I don't buy into petty gossip. So c'mon what is it?"

Raquesis: "T-they're saying I had feelings for Eldigan."

Azel: "Well he was your brother, it's natural for a sister to care about her brother."

Raquesis: "Not these type of feelings."

Azel:[he realizes what Raquesis was implying] "Oh gosh… that's horrible!"

Raquesis: "It's all that stupid lord Elliot's fault. Ever since I rejected his proposal he started spreading nasty rumours about us and now I'm afraid everyone believes 'em!"

Azel: "I don't. You told me yourself it wasn't true. You're not like that Raquesis."

Raquesis: "But what will other people say? I went into town today and the people there said all sorts of nasty things about me."

Azel: "Who cares what other people say? I learned a long time ago not to find my worth in what others thought of me. I've heard my fair share of rude insults over the years. You just have to love yourself and be content with who you are inside."

Raquesis: "It's just I've spent my life acting as "Eldigan's sister" I only ever did what he suggested I do. I never really thought about being.. Raquesis."

Azel: "Well, I don't know Eldigan's sister very well, but I sure do love Raquesis."

Raquesis: "Azel…"

Azel: "You just have to think about what you want in life, it'll take some time. Why don't we go inside then and join the others? I'm sure you must be just as hungry as I am."

Raquesis: "Yeah… alright."

LEVEL S

Azel: "Why'd you call me out here Raquesis? It's awfully late."

Raquesis: "There's something I wanted to tell you and I couldn't wait until morning."

Azel: "What is it?"

Raquesis: "You said I should figure out what I wanted in life earlier, and I've finally realized what it was."

Azel: "That's fantastic! What is it?"

Raquesis: "You."

Azel: [he is surprised and blushes] "W-what…?"

Raquesis: "I've never felt more valued or loved then when I'm around you. You helped me realize just how much I'm really worth. I love you Azel and I don't want us to ever be separated."

Azel: "I love you too Raquesis. It's funny, I was going to tell you the exact same thing!"

Raquesis: "Oh Azel…" [she smiles happily]

Azel: "Well, Raquesis, there was something I'd been meaning to ask you..."

Raquesis: "What is it?'

Azel: "Will you marry me?"

Raquesis: [gasps] "Yes! Yes, of course!" [They kiss, then Azel places the ring on her finger]

Azel: "I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you Raquesis."

Raquesis: "And I with you, Azel."

Next up is Lex/Tailto!
