Seti Ridley/Supports

C:
Seti: H-hey, careful! This river flows faster than it looks! If you fall in, there’s no way you’re getting out- What are you doing out here in the middle of a river anyway?

Diadra: Lord Seti! …I… I apologize. I just thought I’d fill our water skins… and the river’s stagnant near the shore.

Seti: It’s alright; you just scared me. Here, take my hand. You’ll catch a chill standing in there.

Diadra: Hm? But I’ve seen you do this many times…

Seti: That’s different. I grew up in the cold, but you need to be more careful.

Diadra: I… I will. Thank you.

B:
Diadra: Lord Seti?

Seti: Ah, Lady Diadra. How are you holding up?

Diadra: I’m alright. I, um… The other day…

Seti: Heh, you’ll have to be a little more specific than that. Which day?

Diadra: At the river… You said… …

Seti: That you’d catch a chill? …Are you sick?

Diadra: No! It’s not that. You said you grew up here – in the cold. But I…?

Seti: …No… No, you’re not from here. Say, do you remember when I found you?

Diadra: Only a little. You were surprised when I said I was cold, and gave me your cloak. Then we came to a village and you got me another cloak… and you were surprised again when I said I was too hot.

Seti: Mm… You were such a strange thing to me…

Diadra: …That place you found me. Are we ever going back?

Seti: Yes. I promise, Lady Diadra… I promise to return you home.

A:
Seti: Here, these blankets – you do get cold at night this time of year, don’t you?

Diadra: Yes, I do… Thank you, Setine.

Seti: Wh-… What did you call me?

Diadra: …Setine. That’s your name, isn’t it?

Seti: I… No. Just Seti.

Diadra: I understand… Good night, Lord Seti.

Seti: …Lady Diadra…

S:
Diadra: Excuse me…

Seti: Hey, there’s no need to be a stranger. …You’ve been acting odd for days.

Diadra: …Have I?

Seti: Mm. You worry me.

Diadra: I don’t mean to.

Seti: I know you don’t. Are you… homesick, perhaps? As soon as Father returns, then we can-

Diadra: No!

Seti: Huh?

Diadra: It’s- that’s not it. I’m just… scared.

Seti: What? Why? There’s nothing here that could harm you. Not while I draw breath.

Diadra: Not that either! I’m afraid that- that you and Sir Luinne will take me back to wherever I came from… and leave, and I’ll be all alone in a home I don’t remember, and I, I…

Seti: Ah…

Diadra: …I’d rather stay here, if it… means being with you.

Seti: … …Oh! …Oh… I see… Lady Diadra, you know… you know I can’t…

Diadra: I know. I know. But, if it pleases you, Lord Seti… Allow me to feel these childish feelings. Just for a little while.

Seti: Yes- of course. Oh, Lady Diadra… I…

C:
Seti: Um, Father?

Luinne: Mm?

Seti: Do we have any medicine?

Luinne: Medicine? No, what for?

Seti: I think Lady Diadra might be ill… I went to see if she needed anything, and she was curled up and hiding her face, and her shoulders were shaking. I asked her if she was alright, and she told me to go away.

Luinne: …

Seti: Maybe she has a stomachache.

Luinne: She’s not ill, Seti. She was crying.

Seti: What? Why?

Luinne: She’s probably homesick, and missing her parents.

Seti: Can… can we make a medicine to fix that?

Luinne: …No. Just give her space. She’ll come to us if she needs us.

B:
Seti: …

Luinne: Well? How’s our guest?

Seti: She’s, um… I don’t know. I can’t tell.

Luinne: Was she crying?

Seti: No… That’s good, right?

Luinne: Generally speaking, yes. Did she eat?

Seti: A little bit.

Luinne: Did she talk to you?

Seti:  Sort of. I asked how she was doing, and she said she was okay. Then she started asking me about Naviti. She wanted to know if I was born here, and if you were from here, and… if my mother was from here.

Luinne: …

Seti: Her mother – the queen. She’s dead, isn’t she?

Luinne: Most likely. Don’t bring it up.

Seti: …Is mine?

Luinne: It’s late. Go to sleep, Seti.

Seti: …Yes, sir.

Seti: Father…?

Luinne: Mm?

Seti: My… my mother…

Luinne: …

Seti: She’s the wind goddess Setine. Isn’t she?

Luinne: …Yeah. How’d you know?

Seti: She told me. I’ve heard her voice in the wind ever since I was a child. She never told me who she was, but I figured it out eventually.

Luinne: Heh… Figures.

Seti: …

Luinne: …

Seti: …Did you – do you love each other?

Luinne: What? Of course not. I’m a human; she’s a goddess. Gods are different than us, Seti. They don’t love like us. She found me amusing. Interesting, even. That’s all.

Seti: Oh… …But what about you?

Luinne: …When a goddess takes an interest in you, you’ll find you don’t have a whole lot of options.

Seti: …

Luinne: But you know me. I’ve always been in love with the wind…

Lyra: Hey! Sister!

Seti: …Are you talking to me?

Lyra: I’ve been waiting forever to finally meet you! Well, not meet you meet you, ‘cause I’ve obviously met you before, but-

Seti: Excuse me, I think you have the wrong person…

Lyra: …You’re Setine though, aren’t you?

Seti: Don’t call me that.

Lyra: Ah… Who… who are you, then?

Seti: My name is Seti Ridley.

Lyra: You are Luinne’s son, then.

Seti: …Yes?

Lyra: …Huh. Uh, sorry, then. I need a moment.

Seti: …

B:
Lyra: Um… hey, Seti.

Seti: Good afternoon, your highness.

Lyra: Huh? You know who I am, then?

Seti: Of course I do. Prince Lyra of Aljana. Am I… not supposed to?

Lyra: Oh, no, it’s fine, I was just surprised. Um, I came to apologize, about the other day. I was confused.

Seti: It’s… fine.

Lyra: I was looking forward to meeting you, though. Your father told me about you, and he said it would be okay if I talked to you.

Seti: …No disrespect intended, but… what about?

Lyra: …I didn’t think that far ahead.

Seti: Heh.

Lyra: U-uhh… So your name’s Seti, right? You’re pretty cute – I mean, that’s pretty cute. …Ugh…

Seti: …Thanks?

A:
Lyra: Hey, Seti! I’m back with another apology!

Seti: Again, it’s really okay-

Lyra: Last time was kind of a disaster, but it’ll go better this time. Promise.

Seti: …If you’ll forgive me, I’d like to speak bluntly. Which one of you wants to talk to me?

Lyra: O-oh… You know about that too, then?

Seti: Mm.

Lyra: We’re one and the same, but if you want to put it like that… I do. Vega, I mean. I’ve been looking forward to meeting you and your father for a long time.

Seti: Because of her?

Lyra: …W-well, yeah. Why else?

Seti: …

Lyra: I’ll leave you alone, if you want. I just wanted to meet my sister – er – my – my sister’s child!

Seti: God Vega…?

Lyra: …I think I hear someone calling me. Got to go! See you around, Seti.

Seti: Farewell…?

Lyra: …

Lyra: …He doesn’t know… He really doesn’t know that… he… she’s…
