Vanessa and Tana

This one was requested by EmblemDuelist who noticed that in her other support conversations Tana says she was trained by both Syrene and Vanessa which is a good point. Plus it would always help to have more supports between flyers since they're really the only units that can keep up with each other.

Support: C

TANA: Oh Vanessa is that you?

VANESSA:…Tana? What are you doing here?

TANA: I….I….I'm fighting! I want to help end this war too

VANESSA: You know your father would not approve, in fact our last messenger from Frelia ordered me to return you home at once

TANA: I won't go! I can't stand not knowing what's happening to the people I care about.

VANESSA: But—

TANA: I trained under you. You taught me the basics of aerial combat remember?

VANESSA: I only taught you because you were fortunate enough to be chosen by a Pegasus. That is a great honor in Frelia,, I remember your father was so happy.

TANA: Father got me that Pegasus as a gift, he wasn't sure if it would attach to me, but it did and I was so happy. He didn't want me to be trained in combat but after awhile he agreed because I would be able to defend myself.

VANESSA: Yes I was recently promoted to captain at the time and King Hayden asked me to train you. I was surprised at receiving such an honor I vowed not to let him down. And then we began the training.

TANA: See I can fight I don't care what anyone else says I—

VANESSA: But I only gave you basic training and this war is nothing like a training exercise.

TANA: Syrene helped me as well

VANESSA: My sister?

TANA: Yes. I asked her to continue training me after my time with you was over. I wanted to be able to take care of myself like my brother.

VANESSA: You and Syrene are old childhood friends right?

TANA: Yes, she trained me in secret and taught me more advanced moves.

VANESSA: I must admit you are doing well out there on the field an yet you have placed me in a difficult position

TANA: I have?

VANESSA: Your father has ordered me to bring you back….while I know this is not what you want I do not want to disobey an order from my King either.

TANA: Vanessa I'm sorry I don't want to get you in trouble but I don't want to return.

VANESSA: Let's work out an arrangement then. I will allow you to continue fighting if you remain by my side. I will send regular reports to your father encouraging him to allow you to stay. But be warned if the King continues to demand your return as a loyal vassal I will fulfill my duty.

TANA: I think that sounds fair.

VANESSA: Very well then. Tana stay close to me and let us re-enter the fray.

TANA: Yes, at once.

Support: B

TANA: Vanessa, so how have I been doing lately?

VANESSA: I must say you are doing quite well. Your aerial assaults are improving and your fighting form is superb.

TANA: Thank you Vanessa. I'm glad you at least believe in me. I often feel as though people, especially my brother, don't take me seriously.

VANESSA: I think we all feel like that from time to time. But the feeling will pass eventually.

TANA: I wanted to also thank you for the training you've given me. I don't think I would have survived as long without it.

VANESSA: Tana do you know why your father allowed you to be trained in combat?

TANA: So I could defend myself

VANESSA: That was part of it, but I also did some convincing on your behalf.

TANA: Oh?

VANESSA: I told your father that it would be a good morale booster for the troops. Frelia depends so much on its Pegasus knights that we need all the help we can get to train new recruits. I told him that the princess learning combat alongside regular recruits would hopefully inspire them to do better themselves. He agreed and liked the idea so much that he gave me the job of training you. Of course at the time I'm sure he never dreamed that you would actually be involved in combat, but it seems your training has paid off.

TANA: I never knew….Well I wonder though if your idea actually worked?

VANESSA: Oh it did. That batch of recruits that trained alongside you became some of our best Pegasus knights ever. Many of those recruits moved quickly through the ranks and became great soldiers. It's funny but now that you are here again I think that once again you are inspiring the troops to do their best

TANA: Really?

VANESSA: Yes, seeing a leader fight with the soldiers gives them morale to continue fighting. When they see someone of higher rank fighting alongside them it sends a powerful message.

TANA: This is why I have to stay. You've been sending word to my father have you heard anything back from him yet?

VANESSA: No I have not. But the messages take time to get there. I promise to let you know when I hear something.

TANA: Alright thanks let's get back to the battle (leaves screen)

VANESSA: I couldn't tell her yet. I received a letter two days ago from King Hayden, but what if he orders me to bring her home? I shouldn't delay any longer though the messenger is still waiting for my response to take back. Well here goes let's open the letter and see what the King has ordered….

TANA: (off-screen) Vanessa where are you?

VANESSA:…I'm coming

Support: A

VANESSA: Tana that was an incredible stunt you pulled of yesterday, I think you might have saved my life. But you were being so reckless with that charge against the enemies

TANA: My charge worked though. That group of fliers was surrounding you in the air and would have had you trapped. But I charged to break them up and give you some room to escape.

VANESSA: You should not have taken such a risk. If you were to fall in battle I could never stand before your father again.

TANA: Vanessa, the only reason I was able to pull off such a move was because of your training.

VANESSA: I appreciate you saying that but still it is my duty to protect you.

TANA: We can protect each other, I could not simply stand by and watch as enemies surrounded you. If I was in a position to help and did nothing I could never live with that shame. Besides you are my teacher I don't want to let you down.

VANESSA: Lady Tana you remember the agreement we made

TANA: Yes, have you received word from my father?

VANESSA: Before I tell you what he said you agree that if he orders you return that you will come back.

TANA: I….I….Are you saying that—

VANESSA: You agreed remember

TANA: Why do you look so serious? Do you mean that?

VANESSA: Your father sent me a letter

TANA: You've become a good friend Vanessa so if he has ordered you to take me back, I won't resist. I don't want you to get in trouble on my account.

VANESSA: I appreciate it…Well then let us get back to the battle

TANA: What? You mean?

VANESSA: Your father has finally come to accept you as your own person. I told him of how you once again boosted the morale of the soldiers and reminded him how important it was that Frelia win this war. I promised him I would continue to look after you and explained how it would be foolish to allow you to leave.

TANA: Thank you father!

VANESSA: I am certain that it will be he who is thanking you after we win this war and we will win no matter what.

TANA: I'm glad I studied under you Vanessa, someday I hope to be a great Pegasus knight just like you.

VANESSA: I am flattered you highness. But let's not get to excited we still have a war to win and I still must eventually return you to your father.

TANA: I am pleased that my father changed his mind I am certain he will be proud of me. And Vanessa don't worry I want to make you proud as well. I'll show the others what your training can do for people.

VANESSA: Yes I am already proud of you, but I must ask that you stay close to me. I agree that we should continue to look after each other.

TANA: It doesn't matter about rank or status. If you are in trouble I will help you.

VANESSA: Same here.

TANA: Don't worry I won't die out there and the same goes for you. We will return to Frelia together that's a promise.

VANESSA: Yes we shall now lets show the enemy the might of it's Pegasus Knights

TANA: Alright let's go (leaves screen)

VANESSA: (closes eyes looks sad) Forgive me King Hayden I would never disobey an order from you, but I simply cannot bring myself to do it. If you choose to expel me from your service for this then so be it…

End of Game

When Tana learned the truth about what happened she interceded on Vanessa's behalf. King Hayden relented and did not punish Vanessa, he instructed her to continue training his daughter. The two spent more time together and became good friends
