Link: Hey, uh... Severa?... The two of us are scheduled to take care of the horses today... I came to get you.
Severa: I have to work with you? Ugh...
Link: ...What's with that reaction?
Severa: Y'know, I was planning on getting my hair done today. Why don't you manage the horses by yourself this time, and I'll just owe you one?
Link: ...I could manage that, but... that's a lot of extra work for-
Severa: What, are you really gonna complain about this? I've seen you ride a horse before. Everyone else won't shut up about how 'versatile' you are. Me, on the other hand? I hardly ever work with horses. You'd do a way better job than I ever could.
Link: ...This isn't about-
Severa: Just say yes already! Gawds, why are you making this so difficult?... Listen, you never fail at anything you do, and this'll be no different, all right? Now, I need to get going...
Link: …

Severa: How the heck did I get paired up with him again?
Link: So, got any ideas for what to cook tonight?... I've got a few recipes we could fall back on... but if there's a dish that you like-
Severa: Hey, just do those meat skewers that everyone loves. That's no problem, is it?
Link: ...We can go with that... Do you want me to teach you how I-
Severa: I have to sit this one out. My stomach's been upset all day, and working with food will just make things worse. You've made these before, so don't fuss about it.
Link: ...You're making me do everything again? Don't you 'owe me one'?
Severa: What am I supposed to do? Get sick while I'm cooking the army's dinner?
Link: ...*sigh*...
-Scene Fade Out/In-
Link: Will you actually help me this time, Severa?
Severa: Well, I hardly ever get the chance to go to a market, and I've been dying to see the dresses they have for sale. You're not gonna make me spend the entire time shopping for boring, war supplies, are you? I bet you're totally mad that I asked you to do my chores and now you want to ruin my day.
Link: Of course I don't... I'd like to be treated fairly, that's all.
Severa: When has that ever mattered to you? Aren't you supposed to be some living legend? You bend over backwards for people all the time. Heck, you freed your world from evil, and instead of kicking back and soaking up all the glory, you came here to fight a war for the sake of strangers. What the hell is wrong with you?
Link: ...You've got a weird way of asking someone for a favor... Maybe you'd find more success if you buttered me up instead of insulting me.
Severa: Psh... As if your ego needs more of that.
Link: ...What is your problem with-
Severa: You're getting off-topic! We both know that you can pick out what swords and medicine to buy on your own. So it's not necessary for me to be here. Instead of wasting my time, you should let me have some fun, okay?
Link: ...Whatever, forget it... Go look at dresses... I'll deal with you another time.

Link: ...Severa.
Severa: Hmm? Oh, great... What does the amazing Hero of Time want with me?
Link: I need to talk with you... I don't understand what kind of problem you have with me, but I'm here to figure it out.
Severa: Can this wait? I've got more important things to do than play therapist.
Link: No, it can't... Unless you'd prefer I take this issue to your mother?
Severa: What the... You wouldn't dare!
Link: ...I would.
Severa: Fine! You wanna talk? Then spill it! What could possibly be bothering you, huh?
Link: Do you hate me?
Severa: ...W-What kind of question is that? Why would I hate you?
Link: You're in a bad mood whenever we're together... You have no problem spewing insults to my face... You take advantage of my kindness at any opportunity... Want me to keep going?
Severa: So what? I'm like that with everyone.
Link: ...I disagree... I spoke with Lucina and some of your other friends from the future... Even they think your behavior is unusually harsh.
Severa: Tch... All right, you win! You want me to let my feelings out? Then that's what you'll get, but don't blame me if I hurt your fragile, little heart!
Link: ...Please, tell me.
Severa: Truth is, I do hate you. I hate you because no one will shut up about you!
Link: …
Severa: I can't go a single day without hearing it! How inspiring you are... How victory is guaranteed with you around... How lucky we are to have Naga's champion fighting with us... What about me?... I abandoned my world to fight here too! Does anyone remember that?... Why can't I inspire us?! Is it because I'm not good enough?!... Is it because I couldn't save my world like you saved yours?... Why would anyone put their faith in a failure, right?
Link: ...You're jealous of me.
Severa: I... Y-Yeah, I am... That's me; an unlikable, jealous brat of a kid who's trying to delude herself into thinking she's anything else... G-Gods, now I'm c-crying like a kid, too... *sniff* I shouldn't have said all that...
Link: ...Hey... I'm sorry... I didn't mean to-
Severa: Just stop. I deserve to feel like this for acting the way I do... If I was anything like you, maybe things would be different... I bet you're perfect, right? You'd help a friend with anything, no questions asked... You don't make mistakes... You make others feel safe and welcome... I wish I could find even one flaw in you so I could feel better about myself, but I can't even do that.
Link: ...It's not healthy to think of yourself like this... You aren't the failure that you imagine yourself to be.
Severa: I don't wanna hear it, right now! I have enough trouble trying to live up to my mom's legacy, and you bring out the same feelings in me that she does... From now on, just leave me alone. If you don't talk to me, I won't talk to you, got it?
Link: ...Okay... I'll give you the space you need.

Severa: There you are, you scheming rat!
Link: ...Severa? Didn't we agree to avoid each other?
Severa: That doesn't matter right now! I demand answers!
Link: ...About?
Severa: You're seriously gonna pretend like you don't already know? The party! Even if you weren't there, I know you're responsible!
Link: Y-You found out, huh?
Severa: I knew it had something to do with you, so I grilled my mom about it until she gave me the details. What were you thinking?
Link: ...You felt like you weren't being appreciated... Even though you left your world behind, you felt like your sacrifice went unnoticed.
Severa: So you decided to throw a party of all things?
Link: ...Yep... A party for all of you who arrived from the future... You should be recognized for coming here to help us in our time of need... After hearing your thoughts, I felt it was necessary, and everyone else felt the same.
Severa: Unbelievable! Do you know how flustered I was? My parents were hugging me, and coddling me. They kept saying how much they love me and how they're sorry, even though they didn't do anything wrong!
Link: ...Did you not enjoy it?
Severa: Duh! Of course I enjoyed it... I just... Ugh... When I get embarrassed, or anxious, or whatever... I deal with it by lashing out and getting angry. The usual Severa treatment, Y'know?
Link: Yeah... I understand you a lot better now.
Severa: So, thank you... for doing that... It made all of us really happy... Gerome too, even if he's too much of a dork to admit it.
Link: You're welcome... and while I have you, there's something else I'd like to say.
Severa: What is it?
Link: You told me that I was 'perfect' before, do you remember?
Severa: This again? I was exaggerating, I hope you know.
Link: Either way, I want to be transparent with you... I'm a very flawed person, and I'll tell you how.
Severa: Link, I was just being rotten! Don't waste your time with this crap!
Link: Did you know that I'm oblivious to people's feelings most of the time?... I couldn't even tell that you were jealous of me until you spelled it out.
Severa: …*sigh* Yeah, okay, you can be totally dense sometimes, I'll give you that.
Link: People tell me that I'm kind, but being too kind can be a negative. Others can take advantage of that kindness, just like you did, and I have a hard time stopping them... On the battlefield, that kindness makes me take stupid risks to keep others safe... What you see as one of my strengths might end up getting me killed.
Severa: Maybe, but I'd rather be too kind than not kind at all, like me.
Link: I'm also not a very social person... At my core, I'm someone who loves to explore and travel. Despite the many friendships I've made on these journeys, I'm not good at maintaining those relationships... I'm lucky to have friends that forgive me when I forget to make time for them... Maybe they understand that I'm always looking for my next adventure in life.
Severa: All right, all right, I get it, Link. You're not perfect, okay?
Link: Right, and none of us are... Your faults don't make you worthless or a failure, they just make you the same as everyone else.
Severa: ...Next time I'm feeling crummy, I'll try to remember that.
S-Support:
Link: Oh, Severa... Back already?
Severa: Hey, what else can I do? I've cleaned out those empty bottles of yours, and washed your other tunics. Tell me what you want, and I'll get it done, no questions asked.
Link: …That's really kind of you, but I don't need anything else.
Severa: Oh, come on, Link! I still owe you a ton of favors, and I'm trying to clear my name. Tell me to give you a shoulder massage for all I care! I'll make it the best one you've ever had!
Link: ...That's what this is about?... You don't owe anything, Severa... You re-payed your debt when you apologized to me... Now that we can peacefully coexist? That's all I've ever wanted from you.
Severa: Ugh, it's always rainbows and unicorns with you... Fine, then. I just want to help you as a friend. Nothing wrong with that, is there?
Link: ...No, I guess not... You consider me a friend, though, huh?... I didn't expect that.
Severa: S-Sure, why not? I might have hated your guts before, but now I understand that I was acting like a total child... and you've always been sickeningly sweet to me even though I didn't deserve it. Shouldn't I wanna be friends with someone like that?
Link: Still... you don't need to act like a servant... Our relationship isn't strained anymore, it's much more normal... I'm satisfied with where we're at, so don't go overboard for me, all right?
Severa: Well... I'm not satisfied...
Link: ...Hmm?... What'd you say?
Severa: Nothing! It's seriously totally nothing at all!
Link: ...You're sure?... Seems to me like it's bothering you.
Severa: I-I... Gawds! You're really gonna make me say it right here, right now?! You are the worst!
Link: Hey, easy... Just forget I asked... I don't want to upset-
Severa: I said that I'm not satisfied with that! A normal relationship isn't enough. I want... to be your girlfriend.
Link: ...G-Girlfriend... Really?
Severa: Yes, really! Did you honestly believe that I, one of the prettiest girls in the world, was running myself ragged just to pay back some favors? I was begging to give you a shoulder massage just a minute ago! How obvious can I be?!
Link: ...I was surprised that you considered me a friend... To hear that you have feelings for me is even crazier...
Severa: I've probably liked you for a while now... I think all that jealousy I had bottled up inside just made it hard for me to see it.
Link: Severa... I feel terrible about this, but... I can't say yes.
Severa: Y-You're rejecting me?
Link: I still have some bitter feelings about the way you treated me... While I can forgive you for that, and try my best to get along... to say that I share your feelings would be a lie... I won't string you along just to spare you the pain.
Severa: ...*sigh* Okay, I get it... I was prepared for this, actually... Thanks for being honest.
Link: Thanks for understanding... and I'm sorry... I know that there's good in you, but you've never been one for showing that side to me.
Severa: Is there nothing I can do to win you over, Link?... What if I change? Like, really change for the better? I'll stop complaining, and I'll be more positive. I'll stop being so sarcastic and snotty, and I'll start sharing my feelings more. I promise, I will show you the good side of me, and I'll become a woman that you can love one day!
Link: ...Severa, you shouldn't wait around for me. I'm only one guy... You should move forward, and find someone who will love you for who you are.
Severa: But you're worth it. You're worth waiting for, and I want to be a better person because of you. I used to think you were so dumb for helping people out all day, every day... But now I've been infected! Now I want to catch a lady's chickens, and deliver eye drops, and turn cursed, spider people back into regular people, and all of that other crap you've done... but I want to do it with you.
Link: ...I don't know if I should do this, but... once we defeat Grima... If you still have these same feelings... ask me again before I leave for Hyrule, and I promise to give you an honest answer... That's the best I can do.
Severa: Then I'll do it... I'll prove to you that I can change. I'll change so much that you'll have no choice but to confess your undying, passionate love for me! You can bet on it!
A/N:
I feel like my S-Supports are getting stale, so I wanted to try something different. A romantic support ending on a non-committal note was something I tried with Panne, but I felt I could take it further with Severa because of her abrasive personality. I worry that I wrote her to be too unlikable, so I'm sorry if I disappoint any Severa fans with this (I like her too!), but I think her very blatant, rude side contrasting with her hidden heart of gold is what makes her so fun and unique. I'm hoping this chapter reflects that well enough.
