Krista

C Support
Sorry I'm late, Felicity. I had way more stuff to do today than I thought. Anyway, ready to do the shopping together?
No need, Your Highness. I had finished the shopping this morning on my own.
Oh! You've been doing that a lot lately, huh? Not that I mind, of course. It's good to see you getting more used to dealing with crowds.
Actually, I arrived at the marketplace early enough when it was mostly quiet.
Oh, really? Still, thanks for all your help, Felicity. Just don't push yourself too hard, okay? I know that dealing with people can be tough sometimes.
...
Something wrong?
It's... It's nothing. At any rate, I have more chores to attend to. If you'll excuse me...
(Felicity leaves the scene.)
I wonder what that was about.

Viola

C Support
Hey, Felicity, mind clearing up something for me?
What is it?
I'm trying to do the math in my head, and well... Her Highness hired you ten years ago, right?
Correct.
And you're how old again?
Oh, Viola, don't you know it's rude to ask a lady her age? Besides, I stopped keeping track a long time ago.
Hm... Well, you look like you're around my age, so that would mean you would've still been a teenager when you met Princess Krista. But that's not right! You look just like you did ten years ago.
You can say I aged quite gracefully, then.
Wait, then... Hm... Hmmmmm...
As entertaining as this conversation is, Viola, I must return to my chores. If you'll excuse me...
(Felicity leaves the scene.)
Ah, wait! ... And she's gone. Either I'm bad at math or Felicity's hiding something. ... I should probably review my textbooks.

Joshua

Joshua, what is the meaning of this?
Oh, these swords aren't mine. Well, except Old Iron here. I offered to clean everyone's swords.
That is NOT what I was referring to, Joshua.
What is the problem, then?
Look around you! Her Highness has been very gracious in granting you a palace chamber, and you let it get like this! The state of this room is appalling!
What do you mean? There's no dust or rats or anything.
Oh sweet Medea! Where are your boots? Here on the nightstand? Where's your armor? Hung up? No! It's thrown on the reading table.
You mean I can't temporarily put them there?
Of course not! Where did you grow up? Don't answer that. I don't want to know.
Soooo... you want armor and clothes in the closet instead?
Yes, it would make my job easier. Wait, isn't that Princess Krista's sword?
Yes, it's seen some heavy use. I offered to sharpen it and clean it up. A few knicks in it too. A little light for my liking, but it's a good blade. Well balanced.
You are something else. Your room is worse than a rat's nest, but you keep your weapons and armor well-maintained.
If you don't maintain your weapons, they'll fail you when you need them most.
All of that is well and good, but could you please maintain your chambers better?
Sure, I can do that.
Thank you! Oh, next time you want to sneak out to the tavern, I can get you out without Forrest knowing. Bye!
(Felicity leaves the scene.)
That woman is something else. Reminds me of one of my aunts.

B Support
Alright, just a little grime off the blade here, anddddd.... Done! Can't say I remember anyone using this axe before. I wonder who it belongs to?
(Felicity enters the scene.)
Ah, there you are, Joshua. Have you seen my- Aha! I had a feeling my axe was with you.
Wait, you're saying this is yours? I never expected you to know how to use martial weapons. Especially not axes.
Oh? And why not?
I figured you'd prefer to be on the sidelines. Provide support from a distance with that magic-y stuff you do.
You aren't wrong, per se. I do not put myself in the line of fire if I can help it. But having a Plan B can be useful just in case something goes wrong.
Makes sense to me. Still, if you miss, it'll be costly. Re-orienting yourself after a whiff takes time.
Oh, I'm well aware. But you know I can be light on my feet.
Yeah, but you can't depend on that all the time.
It's never failed me yet.
Still pretty reckless.
Well, if you think that, how about a quick spar? I'll show you that my reflexes are more reliable than you think. I'll help you sneak out to the tavern again if you win.
Hah! Sure thing, Felicity. Let's go!

A Support
Joshua, can't you move quietly? The idea was to sneak through the servants' halls. That means NO noise.
I'm trying Felicity, but these halls are a little small and narrow.
That's because we don't hire lumbering, mountain men as maids.
(The two run into a maid.)
Eep!
Oh, am I in your way Miss Felicity?
Yes, you are.
My apologies.
(The maid begins to walk off but turns back.)
...
...
(The maid leaves the scene.)
Ugh!!
You okay? Stubbed your toe or something?
No, I am NOT okay, Joshua! You did see her, right?
Yes, what of it?
She will think I'm sneaking a secret lover into or from my quarters! That floozy hypocrite!
So? Who cares? I don't see how what she thinks matters. It's not going to affect your standing with the princess or her parents.
It's the principle, Joshua! I don't want unneeded attention or people talking about me. Staring at me...
Fuck 'em!
Pardon?
Fuck 'em. Who gives a shit? It's none of her business or her damn place to back-talk someone as hard-working as you.
At least someone realizes I work hard around here.
You clearly work your ass off. If she gives you hell, tell her to fuck off. Tell her where she can take her bitch ass.
Hee-hee. You sure you're not related to Her Highness?
I'm sure.
Anyway, here's the back door. Have fun at the tavern.
Why don't you come too this time? I think you need to unwind a little.
I really shouldn't, though.
You really want to deal with the other servants now?
You know what, alright. It's been a millenia since I've taken it easy. F-Figuratively speaking, of course. Haha...
Hm?
Let's go.
(Felicity leaves the scene.)
Huh, wonder what that was about?
What are you waiting for, Joshua? Come on!
Right behind you!
