C-support:
Fredrick walked over to his future son and said, "Hello Damien".
"Oh, hello father" Damien said, noticing his father of this time.
"I was wondering, what was I like in the future?" Fredrick asked.
"Not much different from how you are now. Although, mother would know better than me as she was always closer to you then me. Asking you to sweep her of her feet and ride into the horizon" Damien replied.
"C-come now, I`m sure she would never say something so embarrassing" Fredrick said while blushing. "Anyway, how was my training?" he asked, regaining his composure.
"As strict as in this time, not for the weak willed" Damien replied.
"I see, how did I die exactly? Just so I`m aware" Fredrick asked.
Damien sighed, painful memories returning, "Sorry, but I can`t tell you. I can however give you this" he said as he handed Fredrick a spearhead.
"This is very well crafted, thank you Damien" Fredrick said.
"No problem father" Damien said and left.
B-support:
Damien was using a piece of cloth to clean and polish the weapons of the Shepards, "Well, that`s all of them. Except for the Falchions, but I`m not worthy to touch such sacred swords" he said to himself.
"So I was right", Damien turned towards the voice and it turned out to be Fredrick.
"You were right about what?" Damien asked.
"About you being the one who made sure our weapons are in the best shape they could be. We all are very grateful for this" Fredrick said, giving his son a sincere smile.
"Thank you, but I hardly deserve such praise. I`m only doing what I can to help" Damien replied.
"How about a sparring match? You must keep yourself in shape after all" Fredrick suggested. Damien scratched his chin in thought.
"Allright, if you insist." Damien replied. He picked up a lance and tossed it to Fredrick, who caught it easily. To his surprise Damien picked up a sword and took a stance. "When ever you`re ready" he said. While Damien was able to parry many of Fredrick`s strikes, Fredrick still had the upperhand. After a few hours, they stopped. "*pant* I yeild, you win father" Damien admited exuasted.
"That was very impressive, but why did you use a sword instead of a lance?" Fredrick asked.
"Well you never know what might happen, so I want to be able to still protect others, even if a lance is out of reach" Damien replied.
"I see" Fredrick said, "Prehaps we should do this more often, spar I mean" he suggested.
"I wouldn`t mind, but mother might" Damien said.
A-support:
Damien was sitting by the campfire, enjoying the peace and quiet. It was night-time and he was on night guard, he volunteered as he couldn`t sleep.
"You enjoy fires as much I do?" Fredrick asked.
"Not really, just enjoying the peace and quiet" Damien replied.
"I have noticed that you kept your distance from me, any particular reason?" Fredrick asked.
"...No" Damien replied. Fredrick only shock his head.
"You`re a terrible liar, even I can tell" he said sternly. "I will not force you to tell me if you don`t want to" he added.
"No, I need to get this of my chest, no matter how much it hurts me" Damien protested.
"Very well then, proceed as you wish" Fredrick said. Damien took a deep breath.
"The reason is...I feel guilty about your death. Even though I now know that it wouldn`t have made a difference, it still feels like it could have gone differently if I had not taken so much of your time. When I remembered that, I realised that the safest way to help would be from a distance. I refuse to get in your way again" Damien explained. Fredrick took a few moments to degiest his son`s words, he then placed a hand on his shoulder, causing Damien to look over at him.
"The way I see it, the future me wouldn`t want you to doubt yourself like this. You have more potential then you realise, one day you may become a knight even greater then me. My point is, you can`t nor will you ever get in my way" Fredrick said.
"You mean it?" Damien asked.
"Of course, now get back on your feet. A knight such as yourself has no place on the ground" Fredrick said. Damien chuckled to himself.
"Right, thank you father" Damien said, regaining his composure.
"Anything for family" Fredrick said.
