Ewan and Marisa
This one was requested by: The Observer 00. He pointed out that in Ephraim's quest you have to use Ewan to recruit Marisa but they don't have a Support conversation. I'd never really thought about it until he pointed it out so I decided to write them a Support conversation.
Support: C
EWAN: Hey Marisa how are you doing?
MARISA: I'm fine.
EWAN: You've gotten used to the troop okay?
MARISA: Yes.
EWAN: Good I'm glad I was able to find you; it looks like it all worked out.
MARISA:….
EWAN: We have a tough road ahead of us but I know we'll make it with you on our side.
MARISA:…..
EWAN: Marisa?!
MARISA: Yes?
EWAN: You've never been much of a talker have you?
MARISA: No.
EWAN: Why?
MARISA: I'm not much of a sociable person.
EWAN: …. Have you always been that way?
MARISA: I guess it's just a side effect of growing up alone. Since I was a kid I've done nothing but train in the sword. I didn't really have time for anything else.
EWAN: Your father trained you right?!
MARISA: Yes my father raised me and then when I was old enough I left home and became a mercenary.
EWAN: Sounds like it was rough. I mean Tethys and I grew up poor but at least we had each other. Suffering is always easier when you have someone with you.
MARISA: You think I'm suffering?
EWAN: Well no I guess you're the only one who knows whether you are or not.
MARISA:…. No I don't think I am.
Support: B
MARISA: Hey Ewan.
EWAN: What's up Marisa?
MARISA: Was your sister always so beautiful?
EWAN: What do you mean?
MARISA: You said you grew up poor, but was she still very beautiful even when you were poor?
EWAN: Well I think it might be biased but yeah I thought she was. Doesn't matter whether she wore rags or rings it seems as though she was still very pretty. I think that's part of the reason she was so successful as a dancer.
MARISA:…... Do you think I could become a dancer?
EWAN: Oh well I guess so I mean my sister learned just by watching another dancer. It took her awhile but she got it eventually. Since when did you want to be a dancer?
MARISA:… Don't tell anyone what I'm about to tell you okay.
EWAN: Is it that personal?!
MARISA: Promise me Ewan
EWAN:…Ok
MARISA: I put on a strong face all the time but sometimes I do feel lonely. Growing up I had only my father I never really got a chance to be a kid. It was always strict training and such. Plus my father told me to be distrustful of people so I never really figured out how to have proper conversations or relationships with people. When I joined the guild it was hard to work with other people so I just adopted this façade of being a real quite and lonely person. Though I guess it's actually not far from the truth. Sometimes I wish I were more sociable.
EWAN: Well I bet if you asked my sister she'd be willing to teach you how to dance. I mean think about it One women dancing is great. But think of the crowds that two beautiful dancers would draw. Hey maybe I could use my magic to make it look like your dancing on fire or have sparks fly across the stage. That would really be an awesome show!
MARISA: Maybe but I don't want your sister to know I'm trying to learn how to dance.
EWAN: Oh!….. how come?!
MARISA: I— I— I have to go. (leaves screen)
EWAN: Huh?! That was weird! What happened?
Support: A
(Marisa is alone on the screen moving across it like she were dancing)
MARISA: One two three…No that's not it…one two one two one two. Hmmm maybe you start with your other foot? Toe….heel…toe…..heel…..No that's not it.
(Ewan appears on screen)
EWAN: Hey Marisa.
MARISA: Ewan what are you doing here?!
EWAN: Nothing. I'd ask you the same question but it looks like you were dancing.
MARISA: Really it looked like I was dancing?!
EWAN: Well…ok not really. Looks like you could use a little work.
MARISA: Stance is so important in sword fighting. You have to learn the correct way to move your feet. But when I try to apply that to dancing it doesn't seem to work.
EWAN: Maybe not. It could turn out to be a good foundation for you.
MARISA: What do you mean?!
EWAN: Before my teacher ever taught me magic he took me on walks to get to know nature. We did exercises that increased my patience. We put me through all sorts of mental training before teaching me magic. Later when I actually tried to use magic I found to my great surprise that it was actually pretty easy. My teacher told me that was because of all the preparation I had done. But he also told me that the preparation could be use in other ways. For example using my knowledge of nature and what plants and fruits are edible to be a cook or knowledge of mathematics and geometry to construct a building. I haven't tried to do either of these yet, but I have a feeling that if I did then the training I'd already done would help me.
MARISA: So you mean…..?
EWAN: Remember what your feet do when you sword fighting and watch my sister as she dances. Then try and use what you already know to help you learn something you don't. That's why they say you never really stop learning.
MARISA: Thanks for the advice Ewan, I really hope this helps.
EWAN: Hey you never told me why are you trying to learn how to dance anyways?
MARISA: Oh well I'm trying to be more sociable.
EWAN: Oh good luck with that. I'm sure you'll do it. Well I better be off.
MARISA: Wait before you go I have a question for you.
EWAN: What is it?
MARISA: Does you sister currently have….a lover?!
EWAN: Well I'm not sure, though I have been noticing her getting real chummy with some of the guys.
MARISA: It's because she's sociable isn't it?!
EWAN: Yeah I guess that's part of it. Though a lot of people know she's a famous dancer. She's had a lot of men try and woo her ever since she became famous. But she's turned down every one of them. Between you and me though I think she fancies the chief.
MARISA:….!
EWAN: Was that all you wanted to know?!
MARISA…..Yeah thanks…better get back to the battle.
EWAN: See you later Marisa (leaves screen)
MARISA: I knew it!

Nothing happens at the end of the games. An "A" support doesn't make them do anything special
