Emblemtale: The Ancients- Support Conversations 3

(So, I thought it was about time to do some support conversations for the other group! Also, I'm now realizing that making the supports flashbacks might cause continuity issues, so I think I'm gonna rescind that rule)

Lavernius and Agate- Support C

Serene's group was still going down the road, trying to make it to the next settlement before night fell, as they went, Agate moved his horse towards Lavernius' "So, Livi, think they'll save some fighting for us when we get to the battlefield?"

"It is Lavernius, first of all, and second, I don't enjoy battle, I am simply doing my duty, so no, I don't wish for them to save any fighting for us" Lavernius answered, his eyes locked on the road ahead of him.

"Tch, fine, be that way, grump" Agate replied, pouting, they continued in silence for a moment, but Agate spoke once again "You know, it wouldn't hurt you to crack a smile every once in a while, do you even know what fun is?"

This comment seemed to strike a nerve, as Lavernius turned to face Agate, though the only emotion that registered on his face was mild annoyance "Yes, I do know what fun is, reading is fun, gardening is fun, risking my life in some unknown field is not."

"Okay, no need to get so defensi –wait, you garden?" Agate questioned, surprised by Lavernius' comment, he shook it off and continued "Nevermind that, what about something other than battle? Sittin' in some dark library can't be that fun, where's the thrills?"

"There doesn't need to be 'thrills' to be fun" Lavernius countered, holding up one finger "And what would you suggest instead? Games of chance? I can't very well gamble away my earnings" suddenly, Agate's face lit up, causing a feeling of dread to wash over Lavernius "I'm not going to like the next words out of your mouth, am I?"

"Arena!" Agate blurted out, shocking everyone around him "It's a good way to get some thrills and make some gold on the side, hell, you could even make a name for yourself!"

"Sigh...I won't hear the end of this until I go along with your inane scheme, will I?" Lavernius asked, resigning himself to his fate "If the next town has an arena, I'll think about it, is that good enough?"

"Perfect!" Agate replied, going over everything he knew about the arenas, much to Lavernius' chagrin...

Serene and Freya- Support C

The sun had begun to set, so the group had decided it was time to make camp, since they were still miles away from the nearest civilization, once they were all set up, Serene had snuck away as the others discussed what they should do for supper.

She soon found what, or rather who, she was looking for, she calmly approached Uther and patted him on his side, causing the wyvern to face her and give her an affectionate lick "Hey, boy, how are you doing?"

The wyvern let out a small growl, which seemed to be a happy noise "Well, I'm glad that your happy, honestly, I can't help but feel a little nervous, marching towards a battlefield –and now these cultists and weird rock monsters are showing up..."

Uther nuzzled up to her once again, trying to cheer her up "Aw, thanks, I needed that!" she said, patting his head "It feels good to have someone to talk to that'll just listen, you know what I mean?"

"Now isn't this just adorable?" A new voice said, Serene turned around and saw Freya standing behind her, a bemused look on her face, Serene's entire face grew red as she realized that Freya likely heard her entire conversation with the wyvern.

"Oh, this is so embarrassing! Please, you can't tell the others what you saw!" Serene pleaded, placing her hands on her cheeks "I'd sooner face a million of those golems than face that mortification!"

Freya let out a hearty laugh and approached Serene, placing a hand on her shoulder "You needn't worry, I'd be quite the hypocrite if I said I never spoke with Uther, he's a good listener, but he's dreadful at holding a conversation!"

Serene laughed with Freya for a while, but her laughter soon ended and a wistful look marred her face "It's just...my mother owned a Pegasus, and I'd always talk to it when something was bothering me...I thought talking to Uther would be the same."

"Well...that's quite a story" Freya replied, feeling a twinge of guilt for laughing at Serene "You know, if there is anything you wish to discuss, anything at all, I'll gladly lend your ear, or you know, lend you one of Uther's."

"Really? You wouldn't mind?" Serene asked, her smile returning, Freya returned her smile and simply nodded "Thank you so much!" she was about to start venting more problems, but a loud growl from her stomach interrupted her.

Freya couldn't help but chuckle at this "Come on, let's check in on those two fools, perhaps they've come to a decision on supper?" Serene gladly agreed and the two of them said their goodbyes to Uther, who simply turned away and fell asleep.

As the two of them walked back to the middle of the camp, the wistful look returned to Serene's face "Hey, Freya? Thank you..."

Freya was surprised to hear this, but a warm feeling spread through her chest "It's no trouble, I assure you, and it wouldn't be right of me to just send you on your way without letting you get your thoughts out, you know?"

They rejoined Lavernius and Agate in the middle of the camp, who had settled on making a stew for dinner "Ah, I was wondering where you two had gone, where were you, anyway?" Lavernius asked as he stirred a pot over a campfire.

The two girls looked at each other, sharing a knowing look and a giggle "Oh, don't you worry, it's a secret between girls" Freya answered, Lavernius was satisfied with this answer, but Agate seemed to be irked by that answer, pressing the girls for more information, but they wouldn't reply, which only annoyed him more...

THE END!

A.N: Sorry if this is shorter than the other support chapters, I legitimately couldn't think of a third conversation, but I hope you enjoy nonetheless!
