"Say… Kliff was your name, correct?", Clair says as she approaches the young boy. This one's expression turned into slight annoyance.
"Urgh, what do you want?", he asks her as annoyed as his expression."
"My, aren't we a moody one?"
"The better question is why you are so annoying."
"Excuse me!?", the noble woman brings out, sounding startled. "Did you ever hear of respect!?"
"Oh, I have", he slightly starts to sound cocky and annoyed at the same time. "But don't you think it's rude to always approach people although they obviously don't want to talk to you!?"
"All I try is getting to know you. But it seems like you can't appreciate it."
"Mhm." Kliff sounds like he didn't listen to her.
"Hello? I'm talking to you! I could just ignore you and never speak a word to you since you're just a rude commoner!"
"Then how about you just do that Mrs. Fancy Pants!", he yells at her, then takes his leave.
"Mrs. Fancy Pa- Hey! I'm not done with you! Get back here at once!"
Clair and Kliff reached support C
"There you are!", Clair shouts over to Kliff. She doesn't sound very welcoming though. In fact, she sounds like she wants to let Kliff know how angry she was at the moment. "You brat, just leaving the middle of our conversation like that! Don't you have ANY manners at all!?"
"I'm a brat now? What did I do to deserve this honor?", he says in his usual manner, slightly grinning at her.
"Don't spit your sarcastic tones around with me!", she continues yelling, even more furious then before. "In fact it'll only make it worse for you!"
"Like what? You annoying me Mrs. Snobby?" He has his usual expression now.
"Are you making fun of me!?"
Out of nowhere he grinses again, brighter than before. "Maybe I am."
"You little-", Clair grumbles but can't get herself to finish what she was about to say.
"Look, I don't want to talk and that is final", kliff begins. "Especially with your "I'm better than any of you commoners" attitude. You think just because you were born as a noble allows you to actually talk down to someone who wasn't!? You think just because I'm 'below' you I'll let you do whatever you want to me!?"
"W… What!? No, that was not my intention at-", she is about to explain but he interrupts her just like that:"What Gray and Tobin see in you puzzles me! You're a snobby woman! A spoiled woman! What makes you even think you can talk down to them if they're talking to you! Especially Gray, don't think I didn't hear what happened!"
"No, that wasn't my-", she wants to try to defend herself until she realizes something. "Hey wait! You have to talk! Your speech is just as rude!"
"Rude? I'm only speaking the truth!"
"I fear you do not! Speaking without even knowing what has been going on! I think you need to work on your attitude!"
"How come!?"
"How come!? It's obvious little punk! Someone tries to have a friendly conversation with you and you just push them aside! Isn't that what you did with Tobin back in the day?"
"That is because I hate small talk! I wasn't talking down on him-", but before he is able to finish Clair interrupts him:"And not just him! You also seem to have no respect for any others! How did Alm even befriend such an uncivil young man like you are!?" "How did he let a join a spoiled, rotten woman like you!?", Kliff throws at her head.
"Hmph!", she turns around, not giving him any glance. "This conversation is over! Have a good day!"
"Same to you!"
Clair and Kliff reached support B
"Uhm… Clair?", Kliff begins to say. She turns around, not looking pleased to see him.
"Oh, it's you again", she almost scoffs. "What makes you approach me out of nowhere right now?"
"I… I came to… to…", he shutters. "I can't believe I'm saying this… I came here to apologize."
"Out of nowhere, huh? Yeah, right. And in the very next second-", before she can say anything further he interrupts her:"If you're going to be like that to me while I'm trying to seriously apologize I can just go!"
"Huh!?", she brings out suprised. "Alright, go on."
"Thank you. So...", he continues to shutter, "I… I'm sorry for what I've said. I really shouldn't have judged the situation as an outsider, especially not you as a person. I heard from Gray what happened. You were frustrated after you found out about Celica and Alm. You couldn't control yourself and-"
"H… How come you know?", the noble woman asks the young boy.
"The same person heard us argue you see. So he decided to tell me about it. Also… I apologize to have called you names. Even if I was mad I shouldn't have done that."
She stays silent, only looking at her conversation partner.
"There. I don't expect you to accept it, just so you-", but he gets interrupted with her finally speaking up:"Maybe I have misjudged you as well." While she is saying this she smiles warmly at him.
"Me? No, you were not completely-", he tries to tell her but can't go on again.
"Nonsense. You can be rude but not uncivil. Maybe, if I was in your stead, I would've reacted the same. When someone hurt a person I deeply care for I couldn't stand them as well."
"Wha- … Me? Caring about them!?"
"Isn't that so?"
" M… Maybe a bit", Kliff answers. "I mean, we are childhood friends but that doesn't mean I-"
"A bit? It seems like you care about them a lot in truth", Clair interrupts once more. "I know where you are coming from. I should've considered your feelings earlier. So I hope you will accept my apology as well."
"You… Apologizing to me!?"
"I can always take it back you see."
"N… No, I'm just surprised you do. You're not at fault you-", and another interruption from Clair:"Nonsense. I was proven wrong too and I'd be grateful if you accept mine as well."
Kliff thinks a bit. But then he finally says:"If that's what you wish for I will."
"Splendid! Now that this is off the hill how about we have a restart right now?", she suggests with a brighter smile.
"R… Restart? What kind of-", but before he is able to ask she grabs his arm and says:"You must tell me more about you right now! I'd like to hear it in great detail!"
"I didn't know I signed up for this!"
