 * Peri: *sniff* *sniff* Waaaaah...
 * Avatar: Peri? What's wrong? Why are you here crying by yourself?
 * Peri: Lord Avatar... I uh... *sniff* Waaaaaaah!
 * Avatar: It's so hard to understand you while you're sobbing so hard. Can you tell me what happened?
 * Peri: Don't wanna...
 * Avatar: Why not?
 * Peri: Because... because you'll say the same thing as they all did... I'm gonna kill 'em.
 * Avatar: Um, what?
 * Peri: All the ones who made me cry! They're dead meat!
 * Avatar: H-hey, we all get mad sometimes, but...
 * Peri: No joke, I'm really gonna slaughter them all!
 * Avatar: (Whatever happened must have been serious... She's incoherent with rage.) (I'd better stay with her until she calms down...)
 * Peri: Urgh... *sniffle*... Waaaaaaaaaaaaah!

 * Peri: Urgh... *sniffle* *sob* Waaaaaaah!
 * Avatar: Peri, are you crying again? Won't you please tell me what's upsetting you so much?
 * Peri: ... Why do you care?
 * Avatar: Why? Well, because we're allies.
 * Peri: Allies... Lord Xander said it's important to have those. In that case, I guess it's safe to tell you.
 * Avatar: I'm honored that you'd confide in me.
 * Peri: I'm sad because everyone looks at me like I'm weird.
 * Avatar: Really?
 * Peri: Yeah. But of course I'm different! I come from a really noble family.
 * Avatar: You're the daughter of nobility? No one mentioned that.
 * Peri: Well, now you know! At home, they called me Lady Peri, and I had servants waiting on me hand and foot. They all loved me, even when I killed a few of them.
 * Avatar: B-back up there. You killed your own servants?
 * Peri: Uh-huh. I was bored, so I picked up my sword, and THWACK! I took a blood bath in the spray that came out! It's good for your skin, you know.
 * Avatar: E-eep... You... answer to Xander, yes?
 * Peri: I do! Me and Laslow are Lord Xander's top retainers. Lord Xander's great because he gives me lots of chances to bathe.
 * Avatar: (What was he thinking?!)
 * Peri: Did you say something?
 * Avatar: Me? No!
 * Peri: Lord Xander doesn't look at me weird, but everyone else sure does. Every soldier at the castle kept their distance from me.
 * Avatar: Do tell...
 * Peri: Some allies they were! They looked at me funny, and now they have to die!
 * Avatar: Th-there's no punishment you go to first before killing them? (Who have I let into my army?! I can't let her go killing people willy-nilly...!)
 * Peri: Thanks for listening. I feel a lot better! Here, you can have this in return. I baked it myself!
 * Avatar: A hidden talent, eh? Sure, I'll try it. Thank you very much, Peri.
 * Peri: You're very welcome!

A Support

 * Peri: Oh! Lord Avatar!
 * Avatar: No tears today, Peri? That's encouraging.
 * Peri: I know! People still look at me funny... But now they all want to try my snacks!
 * Avatar: I'm glad for you.
 * Peri: I know what you did for me. You talked to them all and told them how good my snacks are.
 * Avatar: Guilty as charged. I really did enjoy it, though!
 * Peri: Thanks, Lord Avatar!
 * Avatar: It probably helped that omitted the part about you killing your servants...
 * Peri: Sorry, I didn't catch that.
 * Avatar: Oh, er, I was just reviewing my agenda for the rest of the day.
 * Peri: What a great day! I'm going to keep churning out treats for everybody. Especially for you, Lord Avatar!
 * Avatar: For me?
 * Peri: Yup! I like being your ally. You were nice to me, so I'll be nice to you. Like when you listened to my problems.
 * Avatar: You're very welcome, Peri. I'm really pleased to see this outpouring of goodwill from you. I can see now why Xander chose you as his retainer.
 * Peri: Oh yeah?
 * Avatar: Yes. And I don't think it was entirely because of your bloodlust. Xander saw the kindness in you, and that's why he wanted you in his company. I want to make sure I recognized and reward kindness, just as he did.
 * Peri: Thanks, Lord Avatar. I hope you'll be kind to me, too. We'll be spending lots of time together!
 * Avatar: I'm looking forward to it.

 * Peri: There you are, Lord Avatar! I was looking all over for you!
 * Avatar: Ah, Peri. I was looking for you too.
 * Peri: You were? Huh. Well, I'll go first anyway! Come see!
 * Avatar: See what...?
 * Peri: Ta-daaaa!
 * Avatar: Gods! This is enough to feed an army!
 * Peri: It's all for you, Lord Avatar!
 * Avatar: Really? Well... I am a bit peckish...
 * Peri: Do you like red meat?
 * Avatar: Of course.
 * Peri: Whew, because I have plenty here! Go on- have some!
 * Avatar: Maybe just a bite... Mmm! *chomp* *snarf* *nom* What is this, Peri? I've never had anything like it!
 * Peri: Yay! Lord Avatar likes it! I couldn't find any good ingredients, so I had my servants from home bring some!
 * Avatar: ...You didn't kill them afterward, right?
 * Peri: Of course not, silly. They did a great job!
 * Avatar: Whew... Peri... you know what I'd really like? If I could eat your amazing food every day.
 * Peri: You're serious? Lord Avatar, are you asking me to...?
 * Avatar: Yes. That's why I was looking for you, in fact.
 * Peri: Oh, I'm sorry, but... I can't be your personal chef!
 * Avatar: My what? N-no, that's not what I meant. What I wanted to ask was, um... your hand in marriage.
 * Peri: M-marriage? To Lord Avatar? Someone, pinch me...
 * Avatar: It's not a joke... or a dream. I genuinely feel that way about you.
 * Peri: I...I... Uh... urghh... *sniff* Waaaaaaaaah!
 * Avatar: Wh-why are you crying? Are you that opposed to the idea?
 * Peri: No, no! Crying isn't always for sad times. Sometimes I cry when I'm happy! And right now, I'm very, very happy. I love you too, Lord Avatar!
 * Avatar: Then you'll accept my proposal?
 * Peri: Yes...!
 * Avatar: Wonderful! I'll make sure our home is up to your aristocratic standards. I want you to live in the style you're accustomed to, with servants. I'l make sure to hire hardy folk, who won't die when you attack them.
 * Peri: This is perfect! I'm so excited! Thank you so much, Lord Avatar! I promise to be a good wife!
 * Peri: I know nothing will ever come between us... 
 * Peri: because I'll eviscerate anyone who tries.

 * Felicia: Here's your tea, Peri! Sorry it took so long!
 * Peri: Thanks, Felicia!
 * Felicia: Ah! Whoooa!
 * Peri: Careful, Felicia! The tray!
 * Felicia: I got it—Hang on—Whoops, almost—Aaaaaaaaah!
 * Peri: ...
 * Felicia: Oh my gosh, Peri! I'm so sorry!
 * Peri: Ugh... I'm soaked...
 * Felicia: I'll fix it! Let's see—where'd I put that towel...? Here! Found it! Oops!
 * Peri: Aaaah! Get that washcloth out of my face!
 * Felicia: I'm so, so sorry...
 * Peri: You're the worst maid I've seen in my life! Next time this happens, THWACK! I'll cut you deep and wide!
 * Felicia: I-isn't that a bit excessive?
 * Peri: Nope! I did the same thing when my own servants messed up! THWACK! Oooh, I miss taking blood baths in the spray!
 * Felicia: Are you out of your mind...?!
 * Peri: I'll let you off this time... but it had better not happen again!

B Support

 * Felicia: Um... Peri?
 * Peri: Oh hi, Felicia! Do you need something?
 * Felicia: Were you joking the other day?
 * Peri: About what?
 * Felicia: About cutting up your servants when they made mistakes. That was an exaggeration to scare me into doing a better job, right?
 * Peri: Nope! That really happened! I sliced them up and danced around in the fountain of blood! Wheeee!
 * Felicia: Urp!
 * Peri: But who cares about that? I want tea! Could you do me a favor and bring me a cup?
 * Felicia: Er... Might I substitute a plate of cookies?
 * Peri: I don't want cookies! I want tea!
 * Felicia: My apologies. We're out of tea for today.
 * Peri: Huh? But there's a tea set on the table over there.
 * Felicia: Oh, that? That's... Um... It's broken.
 * Peri: Really? OK! I'll take some cookies, then!
 * Felicia: Again, I'm very sorry. I'll just leave these cookies here for you.

 * Peri: Felicia! There you are! I've been looking everywhere for you! Is there any tea today? I want some!
 * Felicia: P-Peri! Um... I'm terribly sorry, but we're out. Again.
 * Peri: That's a lie! I saw you hide it behind your back just now! You know what I do to liars? THWACK!
 * Felicia: I-I'm sorry! Please don't thwack me! I'll do as you ask.
 * Peri: Yaaaaay!
 * Felicia: If you'll hand me your cup, I'll gladly pour for you. (Gently, Felicia... Be very careful... If I spill the tea, there's a good chande she'll spill my blood! Ugh, I've got to put these thoughts out of my mind—they're just making me nervous!) Ah! Aaaaah! Oh nooooo!
 * Peri: ... Waaaaaaaaaah! I'm soaked again! That's it—I've had it! Get ready to die!
 * Felicia: P-Peri! Let's talk this out!
 * Peri: I'll cut you deep and wide! Stabbo!
 * Felicia: Aaaah!
 * Peri: Take that! And that! Andthatandthatand—
 * Felicia: Goodness, that was close!
 * Peri: *pant* *gasp* What the... You're like a different person than the klutz who spilled my tea!
 * Felicia: Er, yes... I've been told I'm much more coordinated when wielding a weapon. Gunter tells me I'm as excellent a soldier as I am unfit to be a maid.
 * Peri: Huh... Cool!
 * Felicia: But where are my manners? Let me dry you off! I really can't apologize enough...!
 * Peri: ... Incredible.
 * Felicia: Huh?
 * Peri: I've never, ever seen a maid like you! You're the best, Felicia! You HAVE to come by my house!
 * Felicia: What? Why?!
 * Peri: So you can teach my servants how to handle themselves in a fight! There's no fun in thwacking them if they fall apart after one hit. It's boring! It would be way better if they knew how to fight back, like you!
 * Felicia: That's a strange request... But I'll grant it. I'll come offer them some lessons as a way of apologizing for my mistakes.
 * Peri: Yay! This'll be so much fun!

 * Peri: Ah! It's Jakob!
 * Jakob: Hello, Peri. I didn't think I'd run into you today.
 * Peri: I'm glad you're here. I'm thiiiirsty! Make me some black tea!
 * Jakob: Um, no? If you want tea, you'd best go about getting it yourself.
 * Peri: What?! You can't refuse! You're a butler! All the butlers I've ever run into do exactly what I say.
 * Jakob: Perhaps, but I am not your butler; I serve only Lord/Lady Avatar.
 * Peri: Not fair! Not fair! I don't believe you! Pour me some tea right now!
 * Jakob: Hrmph. There is no chance of that happening.
 * Peri: *sob* Waaaaaaaaaaaaaah! If you don't pour me some tea, I'll... I'll... I'll kill everyone in the area!
 * Jakob: I don't care in the slightest. If you try and go on a killing spree in camp, I'm certain you'll be punished. Banishment at the minimum, but probably execution just to be safe.
 * Peri: Huh?! But I don't wanna be executed! Killing isn't fun when it's happening to me!
 * Jakob: Then I suppose you'll have to abandono your plans for the day. The tea and the murder.

 * Jakob: I am getting the vauge notion that you dislike me, Peri.
 * Peri: You're never nice to me!
 * Peri: You won't make me tea, and you tell me not to kill people!
 * Peri: Killing people is my favorite pastime!
 * Jakob: I don't dislike you, Peri.
 * Peri: ...What? What'd you just say?
 * Jakob: I actually consider you a very skilled solider.
 * Jakob: You've clearly mastered the art of killing the enemy.
 * Peri: You...you think so? You aren't just saying that.
 * Jakob: Of course. I don't indulge in false flattery.
 * Jakob: When you're tearing a path of destruction across the battlefield... It's a sight to see.
 * Peri: Wow... You really think I'm that amazing?
 * Jakob: If nothing else, you're valuable to Lady Avatar in battle.
 * Peri: I was wrong. I love you, Jakob!
 * Jakob: What? You were just saying you hated me.
 * Peri:  But I love getting compliments! Especially on my killing.
 * Peri: You should give me lots more!

 * Silas: Hello, Peri. I've seen you around, but don't think we've ever spoken, have we? I'm curious to know whether the rumors I've heard are true...
 * Peri: Rumors? Heehee, you act like I have a bad reputation or something!
 * Silas: You mean... you don't know...?
 * Peri: Nope, but tell me! What do people say?
 * Silas: I've heard, and this is just hearsay, that you used to treat your servants abominably.
 * Peri: Huh. I didn't know people cared about that enough to talk about it...
 * Silas: You really didn't? I'm surprised...
 * Peri: Why, though?! I still don't get it! Start explaining!
 * Silas: ...I might not be the right person to talk to you about this.

 * Peri: Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... I'm so mad, I could slice up a puppy!
 * Silas: Peri...
 * Peri: Silas! You're the WORST! I'm mad at you until you tell me why people are gossiping about me!
 * Silas: Yes, well... I talked to Lord Xander about you. He seems oddly partial to you. He didn't say it in so many words, but I think he values you more than I suspected.
 * Peri: And?! So?! What does that mean?!
 * Silas: It means I shouldn't antagonize you. I'm sorry I stirred up something that wasn't any of my business. Forget I said anything.
 * Peri: I still don't understand...but if you say I should forget it, then OK.
 * Silas: Thanks, Peri. And I'm sorry.
 * Peri: Hmph! I said I'd forget---but I don't have to forgive! I hate you, Silas!
 * Silas: *sigh* Even if she is important to Lord Xander, he needs to rein in her vicious streak. Especially if she keeps lashing out at her defenseless servants. I'll have to tread lightly here...

 * Peri: Grrrrrr... I can't BELIEVE that Silas! I've never been so mad in all my life! I don't think even going out and painting the battleground red would help!
 * Silas: Hello, Peri. I came to apologize again.
 * Peri: Apologize all you want! I'm not listening!
 * Silas: I thought you might say that. I'm prepared to accept the consequences. Draw your weapon. Do your worst.
 * Peri: What?
 * Silas: If bloodshed will lift your spirits, then I'll volunteer as your victim.
 * Peri: R-really?
 * Silas: Yes. And I never go back on my word.
 * Peri: OK... It's your funeral... Take this! And that! And some of these!
 * Silas: ...
 * Peri: Hey, no fair defending! How am I supposed to bathe in your blood like this?!
 * Silas: Hahaha! If that's what you want, you'll need to fight harder to break through my defenses. Have at me!
 * Peri: Fine! I WILL! I hope you're ready! *pant* *wheeze* I'm tired...
 * Silas: You're pretty fearsome. I can see why Lord Xander handpicked you.
 * Peri: That's weird... All your blood's still in your body, but I feel better anyway.
 * Silas: I'm not surprised. A good, hard workout can make you feel better, even if you don't kill anyone.
 * Peri: Really? I never knew...
 * Silas: So there's no need to hurt our servants anymore, is there?
 * Peri: Yeah, I guess not. I'll just work them harder, too! We'll all feel good together!
 * Silas: Close enough.
 * Peri: But I want you to help!
 * Silas: I can oblige that. Ask whenever you want, and I'll make sure you get a good workout.
 * Peri: Thanks, Silas! You're the BEST!

 * Peri: Silas! Do you need something?
 * Silas: Good you're here. I wanted to talk to you. I went to your house not long ago and had a chat with your father.
 * Peri: A-about what? Were you tattling on me?!
 * Silas: No. I went to ask for his blessing for your hand in marriage.
 * Peri: Huh? Marriage? Are you feeling OK. Silas?
 * Silas: I love you, Peri. And so I want to marry you. That's as plain as I can make it.
 * Peri: Whaaaaaat? You mean...you don't hate me?
 * Silas: Not in the least!
 * Peri: Hooray! One more person who doesn't hate me!
 * Silas: Y-yes...you calmed down a lot lately, Peri. I think that's helped.
 * Peri: Have I? I didn't notice.
 * Silas: Seeing this softer side of you has swept me off my feet. And so I went to see your father. That doesn't upset you, I hope...
 * Peri: No way! I love how nice you are to me.
 * Silas: Oh, I'm not especially nice...
 * Peri: You totally are! Don't be so modest! But...will I have to do housework and stuff if we get married?
 * Silas: That won't be necessary. I come from a prosperous house with many servants.
 * Peri: No fooling...?
 * Silas: Yes. But that doesn't give ou license to torture them.
 * Peri: Yeah. I know! I'll jsut work them real hard. But I'll be the one to make dinner for you every night!
 * Silas: I won't say no to that. Shall we go tell Lord Xander, then?
 * Peri: What do you think he'll say?
 * Silas: I'm sure he'll be thrilled for us.
 * Peri: Yeah? Then I can't wait! I love ou Silas! I love you more than anyone ever!

 * Peri: Yep! They're the best! Wanna try some?
 * Kaze: But they're for you, aren't they? I wouldn't want to deprive you.
 * Peri: Don't worry, I've got plenty! I won't miss one or two pieces.
 * Kaze: OK, then. This one looks tasty. *munch munch* This is utterly delectable. Such joy...I am not worthy.
 * Peri: Wow! Really?! You like them that much?
 * Kaze: Yes...It was delicious.
 * Peri: Teehee. I guess I should tell you now. I made them all myself!
 * Kaze: Truly? ...They aren't made of people or anything, are they?
 * Peri: Ahaha! You're so silly. Of course they're not made of purple! Just look at the color!
 * Kaze: No, I said -- Never mind. You are an incredible confectioner. I never would have expected someone with your, ah, predilections would enjoy baking.
 * Peri: Thanks! Sweets like this are a piece of cake. I'll have to make you some of my really special treats sometime.

 * Peri: Hey, Kaze! I've got a bunch of sweets with your name on 'em!
 * Kaze: Why, thank you, Peri. I am most grateful.
 * Peri: I also made you some fluffy, flaky, bubble pastries!
 * Kaze: Bubbly?
 * Peri: Teehee! Yup! You'll see when you try one.
 * Kaze: I see... *munch munch* Ah! The sugar is melting in my mouth. How delightful...
 * Peri: That's the bubbly part!
 * Kaze: That was quite amusing. Mm, and the doughy bits are delicious as well. Flaky outside, fluffy inside. You are a master craftswoman, Peri. The complexity of this treat is astonishing. I had no idea it was possible to fuse all of these different textures so well.
 * Peri: Hehehe! I did my best!
 * Kaze: With skills like these, you must have undergone rigorous training. Did you by chance study under the master chefs of Cyrkensia?
 * Peri: Huh? No, I just sort of dabbled as a girl. Everyone liked my treats so much that I just never stopped making them.
 * Kaze: So this is all natural talent? You never cease to impress.
 * Peri: Heehee. You ain't see nothing yet. Wait 'til I make you some savory dishes. I loooove cooking with meat!
 * Kaze: Cooking with meat?
 * Peri: Yep! It's fun cutting meat! If you cut it just right, the red stuff squirts everywhere!
 * Kaze: Are you sure you're still talking about cooking?
 * Peri: Yeah. What else would I be talking about?

 * Kaze: Hello, Peri. Snack time again?
 * Peri: Bingo! I think today’s batch is even better than usual, too! It's delish.
 * Kaze: I must say, your culinary talents were quite the surprise. I'd never have expected you to be so good at something so…domestic. Would you say you prefer it even over fighting?
 * Peri: Ha! Don’t be silly. Killing is the tops!
 * Kaze: Ah, yes, of course. I might have expected you to say that.
 * Peri: Well, it's the truth!
 * Kaze: Personally, I believe that cooking well is more difficult and more rewarding.
 * Peri: Huh? Whys that?
 * Kaze: Besting another in combat is more about habit and conditioning. It's all reflex. But cooking is methodical. It requires precision, intelligence, and planning. And you must take into consideration the taste of those you are serving.
 * Peri: I don’t know, I think both are easy. And fast! I can make a five-star salad in the time it takes to kill a man.
 * Kaze: I see… Well, perhaps it is easier for you than for me. But from my perspective, it is still the more impressive skill. I have known many great fighters in my day, but very few talented chefs. And that aside…killing is a thuggish and brutal art.
 * Peri: You're silly! But if you like it that much I guess I could try and cook more often.
 * Kaze: That would be wonderful.
 * Peri: But only if you keep the compliments coming, got it?
 * Kaze: Yes, I believe I can do that. It's a deal.

 * Peri: They say I'm a bad retainer! *sob*
 * Xander: Nonsense! I don't think that's for them to decide. Why would they say that?

 * Xander: Peri, you must stop crying and listen.
 * Peri: Oh! Lord Xander...?
 * Xander: First, you must know that your manner of speech has never mattered to me.
 * Xander: But having said that, I've considered your problem at length.
 * Xander: I have decided that you have free rein to behave however you wish.
 * Peri: So...I can just talk how I normally talk?
 * Xander: That's right.
 * Xander: If you want lessons in formal speech, I can give you some advice.
 * Xander: But if not, you needn't change a thing.
 * Peri: Huh...
 * Peri: I...I want to try learning, I'm sick of getting nagged about it.
 * Peri: If this keeps up, anyone who talks to me about etiquette will need a tourniquet.
 * Xander: Understood. Then allow me to bestow a few pointers.
 * Peri: That sounds great! Thank you!
 * Xander: I shall start by letting you in on a secret.
 * Xander: When nobles speak, we typically consider our words with great care.
 * Xander: We take time to build up a large vocabulary that we may properly convey our thoughts.
 * Peri: You mean, you use fancy words?
 * Xander: Ha! That's one way to look at it.
 * Xander: Once you build up a proper vocabulary, it's easier to speak formally.
 * Xander: I swear, it's not as hard as it first seems.
 * Peri: That's all it takes?
 * Peri: OK! I'll give it a shot!
 * Peri: *ahem*
 * Peri: Thou Lord Xander! Would thine desirest to ride to the batt-um, the kerfuffle with us?
 * Xander: ...
 * Xander: "Thou" is a pronoun. You don't use it with a name. Also it is an informal pronoun...
 * Xander: As for "kerfuffle"-
 * Peri: Whaaat?! That was wrong? I don't get it... This is too hard!
 * Xander: "Lord Xander! Is it your will to ride into battle with us this day?"
 * Xander: That would be how it's said with the proper formalities. Now you try.
 * Peri: How can I?! I don't get it at all!
 * Peri: You lied, Lord Xander! This is WAY too hard to keep straight.
 * Xander: Don't get discouraged. It takes practice.
 * Xander: Here's how you could have said that... Repeat after me.
 * Xander: "This is far too burdensome to put into practice!"
 * Xander: That's how a refined lady might say it. Now you try.
 * Peri: This is far too...burdensome...to put into practice.
 * Xander: Excellent! Very good, Peri.
 * Peri: ...
 * Peri: I hate this!
 * Peri: I give up. I'm just gonna talk like normal!
 * Xander: Peri...
 * Peri: I mean, I know how much I appreciate you!
 * Peri: What does it matter how I act as long as my feelings are real?
 * Peri: ...Does that make sense, Lord Xander?
 * Xander: It does. I admit to feeling discomfited hearing you try to speak formally.
 * Xander: You're a valuable asset to us. I don't want your morale lowered over such matters.
 * Xander: You have my blessing to proceed as before.
 * Peri: So it's OK?
 * Xander: Yes, I will inform the others.
 * Peri: Thanks! You're the best, Lord Xander!

 * Peri: Lord Xander! Thanks for talking to everyone. No one yells at me anymore!
 * Xander: I'm pleased to hear that the matter is settled. It's good to see you smiling again.
 * Peri: Heehee! Thanks!
 * Xander: Do you remember when I first brought you to the castle? The smile on your face now is identical to the one you displayed then.
 * Peri: Sure I remember! You liked the way I handled myself in the nobles' fighting tourney. So you brought me to the castle and made me your retainer.
 * Xander: That feels as if it was ages ago. though in truth not much time has passed.
 * Peri: I've always wondered, Lord Xander... Why did you bring me to the castle? I didn't win the tourney. I came in, what, third? Fourth? Why call me up instead of the champion?
 * Xander: It was your class.
 * Peri: Like, in school? But I never graduated...
 * Xander: No, as in your caliber as a person. Your quality.
 * Peri: My caliber? But I didn't win.
 * Xander: Is that what you were thinking about during the tournament? Winning?
 * Peri: Not really. I just thought it would be fun.
 * Xander: Yes. And despite that mind-set, and your lack of preparation, you still placed highly. It showed me how vast your potential was. That is why I chose you for service. I wanted strong retainers, who could be counted on not to lose their lives in battle.
 * Peri: In that case, you know how to pick 'em, Lord Xander! I'd NEVER go down without a fight. But do you ever have second thoughts? Like, you wish you'd picked someone else?
 * Xander: Never.
 * Peri: Yippee! And I never regret signing up! I'd do anything for you, Lord Xander!
 * Xander: Thank you, Peri. Your words are much appreciated.

 * Xander: Peri, I must speak with you. It is a matter of some importance.
 * Peri: What's up, Lord Xander?
 * Xander: Do you remember when we discussed my reasons for choosing you as a retainer?
 * Peri: Yeah! something to do with my class?
 * Xander: Yes. And that is as true now as it ever was. But since that day, I've come to notice another admirable quality... One I perhaps value even more.
 * Peri: Oh yeah? What's better than my class?
 * Xander: Well, it has to do with the sort of woman you are...
 * Peri: What do you mean, Lord Xander?
 * Xander: *sigh* It's hard to find the right words. I'll just say it as best I can. I sense a quality in you that has nothing to do with your prowess in combat.
 * Peri: Huh? Like what?
 * Xander: I think that you... I think perhaps... I think you might make a fine wife... and a future queen of Nohr, at that.
 * Peri: HUH?! Are you saying...?
 * Xander: I've had an eye on you ever since I summoned you to the castle. Your style of speech is not an issue, Nohr has had many eccentric queens. Your loyalty has been tested time and time again and found to be perfectly firm. In every way, you seem eminently suitable. And so...
 * Peri: Wait, what? I still don't get it! Say it so I can understand.
 * Xander: I'm putting it as simply as I know how... Let me try this again. In the plainest terms possible... Peri, I'm quite fond of you.
 * Peri: Ohhhh! OK! I feel the same way! I love you too, Lord Xander!
 * Xander: As a prince, yes?
 * Peri: Yep!
 * Xander: I see...
 * Peri: But I love you in other ways too! Just like how I talk doesn't change the way I feel... I love you whether you're a prince or not! I love everything about you, Lord Xander!
 * Xander: Peri... 
 * Peri: What about you? Would you love me whether I'm your retainer or not?
 * Xander: Indeed, I would. I love every aspect of you.
 * Peri: Teehee! Well, there you go, then!
 * Xander: Well, in that case... Shall we go select a ring together? Nothing but the finest will do.
 * Peri: Oooh! Yes, please! I really do love you, Xander! You'll be my favorite forever and ever!

 * Leo: Who is the target?
 * Peri: Oh, I haven’t worked out the little details yet! I thought I'd just wing it and kill whoever caught my eye!
 * Leo: I don’t follow. Why would you kill a perfect stranger?
 * Peri: Hey, sometimes you get a craving to kill, and you just have to run with it!
 * Leo: I've…never had such a craving. You kill simply for fun? In defiance of common decency?
 * Peri: What's a common decency? I've never heard of that, so it can't be as common as you say…
 * Leo: I'm sorry, Peri. Now that I know your intentions, I can't allow you to leave.
 * Peri: Whaaaaaat?! You big meanie!

B Support

 * Leo: Peri, i won't let this rest until you understand. It is a gross violation of common decency to commit murder on a childish whim! Even if the victim is bad!
 * Peri: You still haven't explained to me what a common decency is!
 * Leo: It is the set of unspoken agreements that allows a society to function.
 * Peri: Unspoken?! Then how am I supposed to know?
 * Leo: Because every normal person figures it out on their own!
 * Peri: Oh. Well, there you go! I'm not a normal person---I'm special! Besides, what's the big deal; about killing? Everyone in the army kills loads of people whenever we have a battle!
 * Leo: Yes, but the people we kill on the battlefield are immediate foes. What's more, if we didn't kill them, they would kill us.
 * Peri: So it's OK to kill our enemies, but not whoever else we feel like?
 * Leo: Yes, that's it exactly. Killing one's foes is not just OK---it's necessary.
 * Peri: And all normal people know that?
 * Leo: Well...not necessarily.
 * Peri: Fine! I get it. If it matters that much, I'll go find an ENEMY to kill!
 * Leo: Your plan is to stroll into the enemy camp all by yourself?
 * Peri: Nah, no need. I make enemies all the time! People I hate a lot are enemies, right?
 * Leo: When I said foes, I meant the forces our army is opposing.
 * Peri: Wait, now you're telling me there are different kinds of enemies? Do people I dislike not count?
 * Leo: *sigh* A personal enemy is different from an enemy on the battlefield...
 * Peri: What are you talking about?! One minute you say killing is wrong, then suddenly it's fine! Can't you explain it better, Lord Leo?!
 * Leo: Of course! My apologies. Let me try this again...
 * Peri: For me, killing is killing, whether it's on the battlefield or just for funsies. What's the big difference? How is one right and one wrong?
 * Leo: Ugh... I'll get back to you on that...

A Support

 * Leo: Peri...
 * Peri: Hi, Lord Leo! Did you figure it out? The difference between good killing and bad killing?
 * Leo: Well, I thought long and hard about it. In a way, you're right. There is a certain merit to the idea that all killing is the same.
 * Peri: Whether you strike down a foe in battle or murder an innocent in the streets...
 * Leo: I suppose killing is killing. Either way, you are robbing someone of their life.
 * Peri: Yeah, that makes sense.
 * Leo: Yet there are situations in this world where one has no choice but to kill. If killing serves a higher purpose, one may even be praised for it.
 * Peri: I know just what you mean! If I kill lots of enemies, everyone tells me I did a great job!
 * Leo: I wonder...We call you mad, but is it not truly mad to laud killing of any sort?
 * Peri: Wow, you're rude! I'm not crazy at all!
 * Leo: You may be right.
 * Peri: So what's the lesson here? I want you to explain to me who it's OK to kill!
 * Leo: Strictly speaking, it's never OK to kill.
 * Peri: Whaaat?! Now I'm REALLY confused.
 * Leo: Let me finish. Some paths one might take in life require killing. Insane as it might seem, this insanity is sometimes necessary for survival. In fact, killing may be necessary so that good can prevail. It's complicated, to be sure. I won't pretend to fully understand it myself. But that's what leads us to deem killing on the battlefield acceptable.
 * Peri: I don't get it.. You're making me dizzy with all this.
 * Leo: Sorry. As I said, I haven't worked all the implications out myself just yet. We can consider that my homework as we wage our next battle. Hopefully, by the time it's over, I'll be able to explain in greater depth.
 * Peri: All right. I like hearing you talk about this kinda stuff anyway. You're a good guy, Leo! Whatever common decency is, you have loads of it!
 * Leo: Thank you, Peri. I look forward to us jointly learning more as time passes.

 * Laslow: P-Peri! That's horrible!
 * Peri: It is? How come?

 * Peri: Huuuuh? What's wrong about it? You kill lots of people!
 * Laslow: Yeah, but...I had to. If I hadn't killed them, they'd have killed me! Your servants weren't trying to murder you were they?
 * Peri: You're making this too complicated. Do you always think about hard stuff like this when you fight?
 * Laslow: Yeah, I try to. Even my enemies probably have families and friends who'd mourn their deaths. Have you never thought about the ones who care about the people you kill? About how sad they must be now that their loved one is dead?
 * Peri: hmm...I dunno...Feels like I wouldn't be too good at fighting if I thought about all that!
 * Laslow: But that's...Nah, we can talk about it later. Sorry, but I'm gonna go for now.

 * Laslow: What?!
 * Peri: I remember finding her lying there, covered in blood, on the floor of our kitchen. At first I just thought someone had spilled a lot of tomato juice....It was one of the servants. He loved my mommy so much, he wanted to keep her forever for himself.
 * Laslow: Th-that's awful...!
 * Peri: They punished the servant, of course. But I was little, and all the butlers and maids looked the same to me. I felt like the one who killed my mommy was still there with us in the mansion. So whenever I got upset, I'd take it out on one of them. THWACK! My daddy knew -- he'd watch me do it -- but he never said it was wrong.
 * Laslow: ...
 * Peri: When almost all the servants were gone, I decided to leave home. People told me how good I was at killing in battle, and I started to really like it. I forgot all about my mommy. But after you mentioned it, I thought about it a little bit. All that probably happened because I was sad. There were never any good smells from the kitchen after she died. I never had my mommy's cooking again...
 * Laslow: I'm so sorry!
 * Peri: Eep! Laslow! Why are you hugging me?
 * Laslow: I had no idea, Peri! I shouldn't have said you wouldn't understand what it's like to be left behind. It must have been so awful for you! I mean, it sounds like you tried to block it all.
 * Peri: Laslow? Are you crying?
 * Laslow: No, Peri. I think that's you.
 * Peri: Wow...you're right...Real tears... This is a first...!
 * Laslow: Cry all you want. It's OK. Your mother lives in you, even now.
 * Peri: Really? That's great! Speaking of my mommy's cooking, I can make it now! Is that 'cause she's inside me?
 * Laslow: Yes. And same goes for me. I can dance just the way my mother did. They passed on the things that were most important to them.
 * Peri: Neat! We're two of a kind! That must be why we're partners.
 * Laslow: So as your partner, I have a favor to ask. Can you take a moment before you kill someone? Remember how you felt when your mother died. Think about if they deserve that.

 * Niles: Amazing. Then, in fact, I did rob your home when you were a child.
 * Peri: Haha! That's so cool! So, what did you steal? I don't remember anything ever going missing.
 * Niles: That's true. We came to steal a particular item, but we couldn't find it.
 * Peri: Really? We just about had everything you could want in that house. Gold, rare works of art, jewels... You name it!
 * Niles: Yes, but we were looking for something unique. Something money can't buy.
 * Peri: Ooh, I'm dying to know. What was it?
 * Niles: Don't laugh. It was a doll.
 * Peri: A doll?!
 * Niles: Yes, but not just any doll. It was supposed to be an evil murder doll! Rumor was that your family kept a possessed doll under lock and key. Supposedly, this doll would come to life and eviscerate one's enemies. Me and my...associates...thought it would be a fun toy.
 * Peri: That is CRAZY! We never had a doll like that in our house! Believe me, if we did...I would have played with it nonstop!

The money was good, but soon people became reluctant to work there. Some of the butlers and maids you hired were never seen again... Does any of this ring a bell?

 * Niles: I want another chance.
 * Peri: Another chance for what?
 * Niles: Another chance to steal you away, of course!
 * Peri: Hmmm... I still don't get it... You want to steal me?
 * Niles: That's right. I have an eye for the precious and valuable. And I want to make you, the legendary evil murder doll, mine!
 * Peri: I don't know. Are you gonna put me in a glass case or something?
 * Niles: Bwahaha! Of course not. But I will take care of you for the rest of your life.
 * Peri: What does that even mean?
 * Niles: Well, it can mean whatever you want it to mean. If you want it to mean exotic adventures, then we will have exotic adventures. If you want it to mean a simple life in the country, it can mean that too. Please don't pick that one, though.
 * Peri: Well, I don't really get it... but sure, why not?
 * Niles: Excellent. Here, I want you to have this.
 * Peri: A wedding ring?!
 * Niles: That's right. We should have a proper ceremony, of course. And then the real fun can begin. I want you to summon me like one of your butlers...
 * Peri: Sounds good! Can we invite some actual butlers for me to murder, too?
 * Niles: No. Just the two of us. And, um, no murder will involved, hopefully...
 * Peri: Well... OK. How about some cooking? I'm pretty good with a knife in the kitchen, too.
 * Niles: Now THAT would be splendid. Marry me!
 * Peri: Heehee! I will. Steal me away!

 * Keaton: The thing is...
 * Peri: What? Is there a problem?
 * Keaton: I'm not going out to hunt for sport. This is for provisions. So I don't know if you're a good fit to come along.

 * Peri: Mrrrhmmhrrrmrm...
 * Keaton: Are you still mad about what I said the other day?
 * Peri: Why?! Why wouldn't you take me hunting?
 * Keaton: Look...
 * Peri: I want to kill lots and lots of animals! That's what hunting is, right?
 * Keaton: Hunting isn't an indiscriminate forest murder spree. I only kill what I need.
 * Peri: But you DO kill SOME things, right? I want to kill things tooooo!
 * Keaton: Do you intend to eat what you kill?
 * Peri: Eat it? Like, the meaty parts? I'm not really that hungry...
 * Keaton: Then you don't need to be hunting.
 * Peri: Whyyyyyyy nooooooot? I wanna go hunting nooooooow!
 * Keaton: You have no business hunting if you're not going to eat your prey.
 * Peri: *sob* Keaton's mad at me again!
 * Keaton: OK, let me see if I can explain this better... You've heard me talk about "hunting" our enemies too, right?
 * Peri: Yeah! You always wish people "happy hunting" before a battle!
 * Keaton: Right. So that's one sense of the word. But going to the mountains for game is a different kind of "hunting" entirely.
 * Peri: I don't get it... What's the difference?
 * Keaton: Well, it's hard to explain. Hunting to survive is...sacred, you know? If your only reason for hunting is to see something bleed to death...that doesn't cut it. You can't go out and kill for the sake of killing.
 * Peri: *sniffle* Fine...you don't want me to hunt... I give up.
 * Keaton: So you understand? Good, good.
 * Peri: Instead, I'll just slaughter everyone in the village!

 * Peri: Hey, Keaton.
 * Keaton: Peri? Do you need something?
 * Peri: You like hunting, riiiight?
 * Keaton: I LOVE hunting! Every fiber of my being trembles with excitement when I pounce at my prey.
 * Peri: But you won't kill more than you need to?
 * Keaton: Well, not quite. To be precise, I won't kill any more of my fellow beasts than I need to.
 * Peri: Just beasts? What about people?
 * Keaton: ... There, you and I are not that different.
 * Peri: Like how?
 * Keaton: I like blood, too. I'm fascinated by the sight of blood spurting from my prey. For this, it doesn't matter if I'm hunting man or beast. Either way, I get a thrill to see the blood of prey I've downed with my own claws.
 * Peri: That's just how I feel!
 * Keaton: Still, I won't slay a beast for sport. Hmm... I guess I'm just more beast than man.
 * Peri: And that's why you didn't want me to go hunting with you?
 * Keaton: Yeah. I hate to see a fellow beast die without good reason.
 * Peri: Well, OK then! Let's go hunt some people together! Right now!
 * Keaton: That's a tempting thought. But if we're going hunting, let's hunt the enemy. We probably shouldn't revel in the blood of our allies...
 * Peri: Whaaat? You want me to wait until our next fight...?!
 * Keaton: Eh. We get in fights all the time.
 * Peri: Good point! OK, I won't kill anybody until then.
 * Keaton: Haha! We can sharpen our claws while we wait!

 * Keaton: Yeah! Though I think you go a little overboard with it.

 * Keaton: I'm at least a little picky about who I kill.
 * Peri: How do you choose?
 * Keaton: Well, any enemies are fair game. Or anyone who comes to take my pelt.
 * Peri: Reeeeally? Because I know your secret.
 * Keaton: Wh-what secret?
 * Peri: You scope out your allies' weak points!
 * Keaton: That's, uh...it's just instinct! I wonder sometimes what their blood might look like. I've never thought about how to kill anyone I'm really close to!

 * Keaton: You don't have to if you don't want to!
 * Peri: Oh, I do, though! I want to be your bride.
 * Keaton: R-really?!
 * Peri: You're the only one who really GETS me! Even after we're married, you won't tell me to cut it out with the killing!
 * Keaton: Well...I won't tell you to stop entirely. I might ask you to be a bit choosier.

 * Sophie: That's what's so amazing! They were really close by! I can go back and get you more, if you want. There's a bunch more!
 * Peri: Awww, rats. I bet you anything these are the same ones I planted the other day.
 * Sophie: Then that means...Oh no! That explains why I hadn't seen these flowers there before! I'm so sorry, Mother!
 * Peri: That's all right. I appreciate the thought!
 * Sophie: Can...can I go back and plant these again? They'll grow back their roots, right? Awwwww! Why am I always screwing up things like this?!

 * Midori: Mother?
 * Peri: Hi there, Midori. What are you holding?
 * Midori: Remember how your knee was bothering you the other day? Well, I made a special ointment. It should help out with the pain. It took me a couple of days to track down the right herbs, but I did it!
 * Peri: You did all that for me? Thank so much, Midori!
 * Midori: Heehee. Why don't you take a seat and get comfortable. I will apply it for you, OK? Shoo, pain -- stop bothering Mother!
 * Peri: This special medicine is so potent. My knee feels better already!
 * MIdori: Really? Yaaaay! Err, I mean, I'm glad that it helped.
 * Peri: Did your father help you create this unique ointment?
 * Midori: He sure did! I mentioned that you'd been in pain, and he gave me a few ideas. I still had to do a ton of research though.
 * Peri: You really do love to study! I bet that papa of yours was more than happy to share his knowledge.
 * Midori: Heehee. I hope so! He's always so pleased when I come to him with a new herb.
 * Peri: Well of course he is! You're such a smart and thoughtful daughter. We're so proud of you!
 * Midori: Heeheehee! Thank you. I love you, Mother!
 * Peri: I love you too, Midori!

 * Ignatius: Hello, Mother. I was wondering if you could help me with something...
 * Peri: With what?
 * Ignatius: You know... now that I'm here it seems a little silly. Forget about it. I can take care of it.
 * Peri: Some little critter crawled into your tent, right? A worm or spider or something?
 * Ignatius: It's a spider riding a worm. If it had just been a spider OR a worm, I could have handled it- I swear!
 * Peri:  Don't worry, dear Ignatius. Smashing bugs is the kind of thing I excel at.
 * Ignatius: Oh, gods... Please do NOT smash them. Just take them somewhere far, far away. This will be the last time- I promise.
 * Peri: Mm-hm. You can try to act tough if that's what you want. But your mother will always know you as her helpless baby boy. Whatever you need smashed, whether it's enemy soldiers or spiders, just ask.
 * Ignatius: I know. I really am working up the courage to handle my own bugs, you know?
 * Peri: Heehee... Suuuure you are. Until then, let's get exterminating!
 * Ignatius: No, I said DON'T smash them! I don't want bug guts on my things!

 * Soleil: Hey, Mom! What are you getting up to today? Sharpening blades?
 * Peri: Oh, hi, Soleil! I have to make sure every sword is razor sharp. Otherwise they're no good in a fight.
 * Soleil: Wow, that's so interesting...
 * Peri: Umm, is something wrong? Why are you staring at me like that?
 * Soleil: Shh, be quiet. I need to take in this moment so I can remember it forever. My perfect mother, standing with a blade glimmering brightly in the sun...Her hair swaying gently in the breeze while she takes the stone to the iron...Heehee! This is just too adorable!! What a cute scene!
 * Peri: Hahaha, oh, knock it off already! You're a silly girl, Soleil. It's not nice to tease your mother.
 * Soleil: I'd never tease you, Mom! Seriously! You're always so humble about everything. I never knew how much elegance and grace was required to properly maintain weapons. I can't handle it! Everything is so crazy adorable with you! We have to run into town and grab some tea together. I need to know how you became such a world-class cutie.
 * Peri: No can do. I've still got a boatload of work to do around here. We'll have to hang out another time, OK?
 * Soleil: Wait a minute, Mom! Don't go!

 * Soleil: Strong hands running through pure, golden feed... With a quick flick of the wrist, she scatters the food deftly on the ground... Sweet, fluffy critters line up just to bask in her presence... Heehee...
 * Peri: All this yakking is making it hard to do my chores, Soleil. You're really starting to annoy me.
 * Soleil: I can't help it! What am I supposed to do? You're the one who decided to do your chores in such an adorable way! If you don't want me to distract you, then quit being so cute already!
 * Peri: I told you to knock it off! Are you trying to get on my nerves? Because it's working.
 * Soleil: Aww, you're even cuter when you get really angry at me!
 * Peri: Stop! Why do you have to take after that father of yours? Can you please get out of my way? I've got so much to do!
 * Soleil: But you've been at it all morning! Can't you take a break? I got this wonderful blanket from the fair the other day. We should go have a picnic! It would be such a cute, idyllic scene, don't you think?
 * Peri: If I slow my pace, I'll be doing chores until the break of dawn.
 * Soleil: Wait, you do all this every day?
 * Peri: Of course. Everyone around here does.
 * Soleil: Wow, I had no idea...
 * Peri: I'd better check in on the horses...
 * Soleil: Wait a second. Can't I help? There must be some way to make myself useful.
 * Peri: Are you serious? Well, I guess you can cut up that pile of carrots. The horses go crazy for them.
 * Soleil: Leave it to me! Oh my gosh, has anyone ever looked cuter than us right now? This is so much fun, heehee
 * Peri: Don't you ever let up?

 * Peri: I'd better get going. These supplies aren't going to count themselves.
 * Soleil: Moooom! There you are! Hi!
 * Peri: I've got a whole lot to do, Soleil. I don't have time to listen to your silliness.
 * Soleil: I didn't come here to harp on how cute you look counting these sacks of rice. I mean, it is delightful. Heehee... Sorry, I got distracted. I came here to tell you something important. I've learned so much by watching you work the last few days... I feel like I appreciate all your efforts more than ever. I had no idea how much work it takes to get everything done around here. It's very impressive.
 * Peri: Heehee, I never expected to hear you say that, Soleil. But don't worry about me, I can handle it. Thank you for the offer though.
 * Soleil: It's super cute when you act really selfless, but I want to pitch in! Can't I do something?
 * Peri: Well, I guess I can probably find a chore for you to do.
 * Soleil: Really? That's so exciting! Thanks, Mom. I promise I'll work super hard! You can count on me.
 * Peri: There's just one thing. I don't want to hear more of your weird compliments. I can't deal with any more distractions.
 * Soleil: Hahaha! You're so silly. That's impossible. We're a total dream team! Watch out, world! These two cuties are gonna knock out some chores!
 * Peri: *sigh* You're a strange girl, Soleil...

 * Nina: Mmm...that was really something. The way those men were chatting like old friends... What could they have been talking about? The mind wanders...
 * Peri: Hiiii, Nina! I was looking for you!
 * Nina: Gah! Mother?! What are you doing here? I thought you were training! You didn't hear me talking about...stuff... Did you?
 * Peri: Huh? I don't ... think so? What kind of stuff?
 * Nina: Nothing! Don't worry about it! Whew...
 * Peri: Oh, guess what! I have a surpirse for you. Guess whose room got cleaned today!
 * Nina: Mother! That's my private space.
 * Peri: I know, dear. That's why I made sure no one else came in while I was cleaning! I tried to clean up all the books, but some of them were stuffed in weird places. I hope I got them all!
 * Nina: Oh my gods, oh my gods, oh my gods... PLEASE tell me you didn't open any of those books...
 * Peri: Why does it matter? What do you care about those silly things so much for?
 * Nina: My diaries and journals, Mother! Did you read them or didn't you?
 * Peri: Haha, I would never read a book! Not even if it was a diary by my darling daughter who I worry about sometimes. So if you want me to not have read them, then I definitley didn't!
 * Nina: What's that supposed to mean? It sounds like you DID read them! Well? Did you or didn't you? ARRRRGH!

 * Nina: *sigh* Why does it have to be so diffucult...
 * Peri: What's wrong, Nina?
 * Nina: Oh... hi, Mother. I... I dunno.
 * Peri: Is this a feelings thing? I get the sense this is a feelings thing. Tell your mother all about it!
 * Nina: Well, I suppose things can't any worse... I... I have a hard time talking to guys. But I think about them all the time! I feel like such a freak. Like they know that I'm thinking about them... And I just clam up and turn red. It's so awful!
 * Peri: Oh, I know this one! Just don't talk to them. Problem solved!
 * Nina: Ugh, you don't understand! When I finally manage to stammer a few words out... I start acting super mean and creepy for no reason! I need to change. But I don't know how...
 * Peri: But you do know you're hurting their feelings, right? Then it's not so bad! I didn't really get that when I was your age. I never cared who I hurt. I sliced first and asked questions... well, never. But that's not you! I think you're already on your way!
 * Nina: You really think so?
 * Peri: Someday you'll be a great lady! I just know so!
 * Nina: Thanks, Mother, I actually feel a little bit better.
 * Peri: Yay! So do I, knowing you're trying to do better than you did in your diary.
 * Nina: Wait, so you DID read them? AGHHH! I'm going to DIEEEEEE!
