Oh my god. English morgan Is at least 8 different types of win. I have to see her support with Owain.

And what seemed like forever for me, I present...

[spoiler=Lissa/Stahl C support]

Stahl: Ah, that's MUCH better!

Lissa: Well, there's nothing a good healing staff can't fix!

Stahl: I'm sorry to have you use it for a simple stomachache.

I thought I had more tonic in my bag, but every flask was empty.

Lissa: That's because you're always giving it to other people!

By the way, what cause your tummy rumble in the first place?

Stahl: Stress! Lots and lots of stress! ...I'm searching for a special item, you see.

And every time we arrive in a town, I think, "This is it! It must be here!"

But I always end up disappointed.

Lissa: Oooo! Sounds spicy! So what's the secret item, huh? Tell me, tell me!

Stahl: Wing scales from a rare giant butterfly. My brother wants them for a concoction.

They're impossible to find in Ylisse, so he hoped I could buy some on our journey.

I go to the market in every town we visit, but not a single merchant has had them.

Lissa: Aw, I see... Not quite as exciting as I was expecting...

And I can't believe your dumb brother gave you errands in the middle of a war!

Stahl: I admit, his timing could have been better.

Lissa: You risk your life every day! You can't waste energy chasing butterfly whatevers!

Stahl: Heh, well, he IS my brother. How could i say no?

Lissa: *Sigh* You're far too nice to people, Stahl. You let them push you around.

Oh, fine. I guess I'll try to help. What's the name of this stupid butterfly?

Stahl: Oh, gracious, no! I couldn't possibly involve you in this fool's errand!

Lissa: It's not for you! I just don't want to wast any more cures on your silly stomach!

The sooner you find the scales, the sooner I can worry about REAL problems!

Stahl: Well, if you really want to help...

Lissa: You just stand there smiling. Lissa is on the case!

[spoiler=Lissa/Stahl B Support]

Stahl: The butterfly scales! At last! Oh, many thanks for your help, Lissa!

Lissa: Hey, no sweat. I had a little shopping errand of my own to do anyway.

My brother wanted me to buy perdume for someone, but he wouldn't tell me who.

He just said to buy something I liked, which isn't really much of a clue.

He's so dense sometimes! I mean, what if his special lady friend has different tastes?!

Stahl: I don't suppose it matters so much, does it? It's the thought that counts after all.

Besides, it's hard for a man to buy perfume on his own. I know from experience!

Lissa: There you go again, giving people the benefit of the doubt.

Don't you think it's super annoying how both our brothers treat us like servants?

I mean, here we both are running from market to market buying stuff for 'em!

Stahl: Heh! You have a point.

Lissa: Of course I do! ...And I don't mind so much, but it's super unfair for you.

You're always helping other people, and you never get anything in return.

Stahl: Oh, but I do! I enjoy helping people and making things a little easier for them.

As long as someone actually acknowledges my efforts now and then, that's enough.

Lissa: Aw, you are SUCH a sweetie!

In that case, I'll watch you like a hawk and make sure no good deed goes unseen!

Stahl: Well in THAT case, I'll have to be sure I give you something to see!

[spoiler=Lissa/Stahl A support]

Stahl: ......

Lissa: What are you reading, Stahl?

Stahl: A letter from my brother. He's thanking me for the butterfly scales I sent.

Lissa: Ye gods, what dreadful penmanship! It's nothing at all like yours.

Stahl: Heh. My brother is a rugged, no-nonsense sort. He doesn't much care for calligraphy.

But look here! He sent along more of his secret stomach tonic.

This new recipe uses the butterfly scales. It's twice as effective as before!

Lissa: So the errand he sent you on was actually for your benefit?

Stahl: Apparently so!

It's a good reminder---brothers don't always say and do the right thing...

But in the end, or when it matter, they always have our interests in mind.

Lissa: Pffft! Not MY brother! I doubt he ever thinks of me at all!

Unless it's to tell me that I'm childish and I should learn to grow up or whatever.

He's too busy running a country and a war to worry about his little sister...

Stahl: I assure you, that is not the case! At all! Chrom cares for you very much.

And who can blame him? If I had a charming sister like you, I'd never leave your side!

Lissa: Y-you think I'm charming?

Stahl: Of course! ...Er, is that strange?

Lissa: I'm... I'm just not used to accepting praise from such a... fine gentleman, is all.

Thanks, Stahl. You made my day!

Stahl: Heh, well, I only spoke the truth.

[spoiler=Lissa/Stahl S support]

Lissa: Er, Stahl? Look what Chrom gave me.

Stahl: Isn't that the perfume he had you buy?

Lissa: He felt bad about missing my birthday, so he wanted to get something I really liked.

Apparently I mentioned wanting a new perfume, and so...

Stahl: He sent you to buy your favorite kind. Ha! I told you brothers always pull through!

Lissa: Hee hee! Yeah, he really is the best brother a girl could have.

Stahl: Seeing you in such a happy mood, perhaps I should seize the opportunity...

Lissa: Opportunity? For what?

Stahl: Lissa, I have a confession to make.

Lissa: Ooh, a confession?! Scandalous! Okay, dish. Give me all the juicy details...

Stahl: I love you.

Lissa: ...What?!

Stahl: I know you're royalty, and I never felt I was worthy to court you.

So I kept my feelings bottled up until I no longer had the strength to hide them...

Th-that's why I decided to buy you this ring.

Lissa: ......

Oh, Stahl, yes! Yes, of COURSE I'll marry you! I've loved you forever!

Stahl: Truly?!

Lissa: YES, you ninny! Here, let's see that ring.

Stahl: ...Ah, it fits you perfectly!

Lissa: Hee hee! It totally does, huh?

I'm so glad you finally unbottled those feelings, tee hee!

Stahl: It's like a weight off my shoulders!

I can't wait to tell my brother the good news...

Lissa: Oh, right! And I gotta tell Chrom!

...Oh, hey! You and him are gonna be brothers now! That's so weird.

Stahl: Heh, and so wonderful. Just like you Lissa.

Now I can have Stahl pair up with somebody useful, unless I bench him like Lissa.

Daw Morgan is so cute x3

Awwww, they got rid of the reference to Naesala and Leanne........that's disappointing...... :(

I'm kinda glad, I hated that pairing....

[pichupal]

Updated again! I still need to read them, but at least the thread is updated. I'll aim to get my Flavia x Morgan(F) support up to compare it with the one here. I doubt it'll be too different, but still.

[Diortem]

Are the following supports;

Kjelle X Stahl (Parent-Child)

Nah X Gaius (Parent-Child)

Ricken X Brady (Parent-Child)

Severa X Gregor (Parent-Child)

Male Avatar X Owain (Friendship)

Male Avatar X Laurent (Friendship)

claimed? Since they don't seem to be in the OP.

[pichupal]

The first four are because I didn't put the parentxchild claims on there because Morgan made it so there were around 100 conversations.

I might add them soon.

The last two were me forgetting Silver Lightning's claims - I took them off the unclaimed list and forgot to type the name beside the supports.

Thanks.

Ok, thanks for adding them.

[Anacybele]

Hey, how come my name isn't listed for Frederickx Female Avatar? Someone else is there. I said I would do this one and nobody mentioned someone else wanting to do it too. :/

[shadykid]

smiting typos before sock reaches it

Lissa: ......

Oh, Stahl, yes! Yes, of COUSE I'll marry you! I've loved you forever!

should be COURSE

haha get sniped

[pichupal]

It was claimed before you asked for it. Somewhere on page 4 or 5? Forgot to quote it, and too lazy to find it again. You could PM kdports if you want it though. I normally would've mentioned something, but the topic has been getting a lot of posts recently so it probably slipped right past me - Sorry about that.

... Actually, I don't ever think he clarified whether he meant Male or Female Avatar, looking at the post.

Got my copy today!

Going to start playing toward my supports now!

Oh, I see. Well, if he meant the male Avatar, then I'll take the support with the female. If he meant the female, well, I guess I'll be of no help... Oh well.

[Wind Crusader]

I have transcribed the complete support for Panne/Vaike. I don't have it claimed in the OP, so I'm wondering if I can post it.

[pichupal]

I suggest PM-ing the person who has it on the list. If they don't respond for a day or so, feel free to post it since odds are they haven't been working on it.

Although why were you transcribing it anyways? Was it that whole site down thing making your claims dissapear or just me being forgetful and not updating correctly? Probably me. *sits with Kellam*

I was working on it since I had planned on pairing them before and I a couple of my supports were taken when I mentioned that you missed all of mine except for Sully/Frederick and Lissa/Stahl. I thought that I was working on it, but forgot that I didn't need to transcribe it.

In other news...

[spoiler=Cordelia/Lon'qu C support]

Cordelia: Lon'qu, we`re about to hold the war council. It`s time to return to camp.

Lon'qu: Very well.

...Er, may I ask you something?

Cordelia: Of course.

Lon'qu: Why did you come to my assistance in our most recent battle?

Cordelia: Well, you were beset by foes and looked as if you needed the help.

Lon'qu: I see. You are not wrong in this.

I would like to settle the debt quickly. Is there anything you need?

Cordelia: It's hardly a debt, Lon'qu. We're on the same side.

But I see you're serious, so let me see...

I'd love to get some fencing lessons, but I suppose that's not possible.

I mean, what with your crippling phobia of standing near women.

Lon'qu: Er...

Cordelia: By the way, does this pohobia mean you can't help me on the battlefiel, either?

Lon'qu: No. In the heat of battle, I am able to overcome my... inclinations.

Cordelia: Well, that's a relief.

I'd hate to think you'd stand there while some brigand ram me through.

Lon'qu: If you ever require assistance, you need only say the word.

Cordelia: I'll keep that in mind!

[spoiler=Cordelia/Lon'qu B support]

Lon'qu: What has happened to my oaken practice sword?

Cordelia: Oh, I replaced the blade. The old one had a split in it.

Lon'qu: How diligent of you.

Cordelia: No one had checked the training equipment since the start of this campaign.

I took it upon myself to sort though the wooden blades, shields, and dummies.

Lon'qu: I see.

Cordelia: Er, Lon'qu? Did you know that sweat is puring down your face?

Lon'qu: Yes, of course. I was just finishing my leg strengthening drills.

Cordelia: Well, it's good timing, because I have a fresh pile of towels from the laundry.

I'll leave one here for you.

Lon'qu: ......

Cordelia: Right then! To the sound of thunderous gratitude, I'll go and prepare supper.

You like cabbage stew, don't you?

Lon'qu: It is my favorite dish. Are you the one who keeps preparing it at every meal?

Cordelia: Oh, so you DID notice! Yes, that's me.

I like to keep morale up by serving little treats now and then.

Anyway, see you at supper!

Lon'qu: You help people even when they don't know it?

...Wait. Let someone else cook tonight. It's time for your first fencing lesson.

Cordelia: Er, what about the whole pathological fear of women thing?

Lon'qu: I shall instruct you from a distance. Now tell me what you wish to learn.

Cordelia: Why, that's downright gentlemanly of you.

Note: In game Cordelia says to go though the equipment, not go through the equipment, I'm aware of the typo, but it's not a mistake on my part.

[spoiler=Cordelia/Lon'qu A support]

Cordelia: Hmm? Someone tidied up all the practice equipment.

Also the laundry's been brought in, and supper is on the boil.

What manner of witchcraft is this?!

Lon'qu: I did these things.

Cordelia: You?!

Lon'qu: Yes. I discovered a problem during our fencing lesson.

You are too worried about everything else going on in this camp.

This means you are incapable of the proper focus required for fencing.

I have removed the distractions so that you might concentrate properly.

Cordelia: Oh, er. Right. I see.

Lon'qu: Ungh...

Cordelia: Lon'qu? What's happening? What are you doing? You just went pale!

Lon'qu: I am steeling myself for our next session.

It's a complicated procedure that cannot be shouted from a distance.

I must... approach you... and hold your arm... to show you how... to perform the action...

Cordelia: Gracious, Lon'qu! If it's so stressful, we can skip the lesson.

Lon'qu: N-no! I owe you... a debt...

Just... watch well. I don't want... to do this again.

Cordelia: You have my undivided attention!

[spoiler=Cordelia/Lon'qu S support]

Cordelia: Hi-yah! Gwaah!

Lon'qu: Interesting. You adapted my moves and wrought them into something new.

The result is a new fencing art entirely of your own devising

Cordelia: It's going to be incredibly useful in the battles to come.

And I couldn't have done it without your help, Lon'qu.

Lon'qu: ......

Who do you intend to protect with this new skill of yours?

Cordelia: Why, my comrades, of course. Everyone in this army.

Lon'qu: You lie.

I have watched you in battle. You have eyes for only one man.

You are in love with Chrom.

Cordelia: I did love him, once. For the longest time...

Lon'qu: You speak as if that was in the past. Has your heart changed?

Cordelia: Actually, yes. It has.

Now you tell me something, Lon'qu. Why do you care about my heart?

Lon'qu: Er...

Cordelia: No, wait. I'm not finished yet.

You've given me help and fencing lessons under the guise of repaying a debt.

But I told you you owed me nothing. So what is the real reason?

Lon'qu: That was the reason. ...At least in the beginning.

Cordelia: You overcame your phobia of me while performing countless menial chores...

I would know your reason for this, sir.

Lon'qu: I am not a man who... expresses himself well with words.

Perhaps this gift will tell you what you want to know.

Cordelia: Let me see--- Ah, a ring!

Oh, and what a nice big stone! So many carats... Wow...

Lon'qu: Put that loupe away!

If you don't want the ring, discard it and we will speak no more of this.

Cordelia: I don't want to throw it away, Lon'qu! I want to WEAR it.

Lon'qu: You do? Then...?

Cordelia: Yes, Lon'qu. I've fallen in love with you as well.

And I'd be happy to marry you.

Lon'qu: Even in my wildest dreams I dared not hope that you'd say yes.

Cordelia: Heh. Yes, and you're stuck with me now, I fear.

But don't worry. I think we're going to be very happy together!

[spoiler=Avatar(F) x Ricken (Romantic][spoiler=C Support]Ricken: Hrmmm...

Robin: Still writing a reply to that letter? You've been staring at a blank page for an hour. Was it bad news? Nothing serious, I hope.

Ricken: No, just an average letter from my parents. "Hope you're well," and all that.

Robin: Then why are you so strapped for a reply?

Ricken: It's... tricky. I just don't know what to say.

Robin: There's plenty of things you could write about! Especially after that last battle! Tell them how you dodged one brush with death after the next! Impress them!

Ricken: Are you insane?! The object is to make them worry about me LESS!

Robin: Oh. Right. Well, why not tell them about that fight against the Risen? Talk about how you tore them limb from limb and flung the pieces to the winds!

Ricken: But I did no such thing! Besides, that would have them worried about me in a whole other way... See the problem? I can't LIE, but if I write about how things really are, they'll worry. And if I write about how much I miss them, that oly makes it worse...

Robin: How about just a few words to let them know you're all right?

Ricken: ...I don't know. Maybe I'll just hold off until I do something that makes them proud.

Robin: Well, if they could've heard you just now, they already would be.

[spoiler=B Support]Ricken: Hmm...

Robin: Still haven't written a reply to your parents, have you?

Ricken: Yep. Stuck again. I can't think of the right words to say.

Robin: You could always just head back.

Ricken: Head back where? Home?

Robin: Why not? Stop by for a quick visit. Spend some time with your family. I'm not saying to drop everything and go tomorrow, but once things settle down.

Ricken: ...No. I can't go back yet.

Robin: Why not?

Ricken: I don't know how much you know about me, but I come from an old, respected house. And lately, my family home--and name--has fallen into serious disrepair. So this war is about more than saving the world, at least for me. It's about restoring my family name. And I can't go home until I've done it.

Robin: That's a lot to put on yourself, Ricken. Your parents are lucky to have you. Hard to imagine such a model son running around dismembering Risen and flinging--

Ricken: Stop with the dismembering already! What kind of monster do you think I am?

Robin: Ha ha, I'm just teasing. Seriously, though, if you won't visit, you should write. Sparing your parents from worry is part of being a good son, after all.

Ricken: Yeah, I know you're right... Okay, I'll keep it real basic. "Dear Mom and Dad, I hope you're well."

Robin: "Today I saved the life of my beloved, and the field ran red with the blood of my foes!"

Ricken: 'Today I saved the..." ARRRGH! Will you NOT do that?!

Robin: I'm helping.

Ricken: YOU ARE NOT!

[spoiler=A Support]Ricken: Hey, Robin. Would you mind sending this out with the other deliveries?

Robin: Letter to the family, eh? So did you finally figure out what to write?

Ricken: I just wrote the truth: that I miss them and hope to see them again soon.

Robin: No tales of glory? No brave words? ... No dismemberment?

Ricken: Hah! Not this time. I guess restoring the family name will have to wait a bit longer. I simply wrote that I've come a long way, but there's still more to be done. Not the greatest news in the world, but better than silence, I guess.

Robin: But it IS great news! i'm sure it'll put their minds at ease.

Ricken: By telling them how weak I still am?

Robin: No, by telling them you know your limits and you're working to overcome them. That's a very mature way of thinking. I'm sure they'll be proud.

Ricken: Heh heh! you really think so?

Robin: I guarantee it! You did great, Ricken. Now get over here!

Ricken: EWWW! Leggo! No noogies! Stop treating me like a kid! Didn't you JUST finish saying how mature I was?!

Robin: Ha ha! Sorry, it's just that hat and those cute wittle cheeks just begging to be pinc--

Ricken: Come on, knock it off!

[spoiler=S Support]Ricken: Hey, Robin. Thanks again for your help with that letter home. I kinda got you something by the way of thanks, so... here.

Robin: Aw, how sweet! A letter for me! Whoa, this is one heavy envelope... What'd you put in here?

Ricken: Open it and you'll see.

Robin: Rrrrr... Graaagh... Gods above, how much glue did you use here? Got it! ... Oh, look at that shiny stone. Ricken, it's beautiful.

Ricken: It's a precious stone found only on the slopes of the Ghoul's Teeth.

Robin: Gods, Ricken! You went to that fearsome place all alone? It's crags are filled with bandits and wild beasts of every stripe! Were you hurt? Don't lie to me now!

Ricken: Would you PLEASE stop treating me like a child?!

Robin: ... Oh... right. I'm sorry.

Ricken: I'm not a boy, Robin. I'm a grown man. And I need you to believe me when I say that.

Robin: But why, Ricken? Why is it so important what I think?

Ricken: Because... I'm in love with you. I don't want to be your kid or little brother-- I want to be your husband. So if I put that stone on a ring and offered it to you, would you accept it?

Robin: ... Oh, Ricken. I know you're not a child anymore... I know because I've watched you grow into a remarkable young man. Just as I've watched you grow in my heart... So, yes, Ricken. Yes. Nothing would make me happier than to become your wife.

Ricken: R-really! Do you mean it?!

Robin: But no more taking ridiculous risks! I'll not have my husband cracking his head open just to prove a point. You hear me, young man?

Ricken: Of course, I... HEY!

I'd throw my arms around you and never let go... Just wait for me to get a little taller... Okay?

(I think Rey is to thank for the screen cap)

[Onestep]

I'm not going to post them because I don't have the claim (Or S support), but I found this interesting.

In the CordeliaxGregor A support, he explicitly states that he's fallen for Cordelia. I'm mainly saying this because the supports themselves are absolutely amazing. Hearing Gregor lecture Cordelia on 'Love Sneak Attacks' is a thing of glory.

[Shadow Stalker X]

Now have the StahlxCherche support.

C Rank

Stahl: Phew...Another load done. Just one more basket and...

Hmm? Whose cloak is this?

Cherche: Hello, Stahl. I see it's your turn for laundry duty today.

Stahl: Oh, hey, Cherche. Say do you know whose cloak this is?

It has the most delightful smell!

Cherche: Oh, that's mine. I sprinkle it with a special fragrance I find soothing.

It helps me get a good night's rest, even when we're camped in the wilds.

Stahl: *Sniff* Gods, it's like nothing I've ever smelled before!

Cherche: It smells of home to me. It's quite common back where I come from.

Stahl: It's interesting how things vary from place to place. Smells, fashions, art, manners...

Cherche: Before the empire swallowed up all of Valm, the land was split into small, unique realms.

You can still see those differences today as you move from town to town.

Stahl: Someday I'm going to buy you an ale and have you tell me about it!

But, um, what about the cloak? Won't all the smell run out if I wash it?

Cherche: That's fine. I'll just add more fragrance when you're done.

Stahl: Then laundered it shall be!

Cherche: You know, people in some areas of Valm have unusual ways of washing clothes.

If you're interested, we can do laundry together and I'll show you some tricks.

Stahl: Milady, I will ALWAYS take free assistance on laundry day.

Plus you can tell me more about Valm as we work!

Cherche: And in return, you can tell me some things about Ylisse.

Er, and speaking of manners and customs, it is... Um...

Well, in my land, it's considered very bad form to go sniffing a lady's cloak.

Stahl: Then why do you make it smell so good? It's like a trap!

Cherche: Heh, I suppose it is, at that.

B Rank

Stahl: Tents? ...Check. Stew meat? ...Check. Firewood? ...Uh-oh. Low on firewood.

Cherche: Is something the matter?

Stahl: Oh hey, Cherche. No, nothing's the matter, pers

Cherche: Is that so? You look worried. Furrowed brow and all that.

Stahl: Oh, you can just ignore that. My brow furrows pretty easily.

Cherche: Being naturally frowny must cause many a misunderstanding, hah!

Or perhaps it just makes people fell more solicitous toward you...

Stahl: Hah! I'd never thought of it as an advantage before.

Cherche: You know, it seems like every time I see you, you're engaged in another chore.

Stahl: I volunteer a lot. I just enjoy keeping things... tidy, I guess.

Plus, you don't want some of those axe slingers going anywhere near your laundry...

Cherche: Well, I think it's very admirable. Perhaps you could use a hand?

Stahl: Well, I WAS just about to head out to collect more firewood...

Perhaps you'd care to accompany me to the forest?

I can use your talents if we stumble across any fell beasts.

Cherche: Back in my village, an invitation to collect firewood indicates romantic interest.

Something to do with firewood igniting the flames of passion in the girl's heart...

Stahl: Wha-?! G-good gracious, truly? I... I meant no offense. I swear!

...Also, that is a really weird first date. I'm just saying.

Cherche: Heh heh. Oh, it's quite all right. How were you to know?

In any case, I'll help out, and you can tell me more about the culture of Ylisse.

Stahl: Sounds like a plan.

A Rank

Cherche: Here, Stahl. This is for you.

Stahl: Oh, what a beautiful handkerchief! Thank you. ...Did you make it?

Cherche: I wanted to give you something in return for all your stories of Ylisse.

I'm not an expert at needlework, but it's the thought that matters, right?

Stahl: I think it's great! I'd buy this in a store!

Cherche: That's very kind of you to say.

You've taught me so much about the culture of Ylisse that I'm quite anxious to visit.

In fact, when this war is over, I'm planning to tour its most famous sights.

Stahl: That's funny, because when peace comes, I've decided to visit YOUR homeland.

I want to help reunite families and rebuild their towns and villages.

Cherche: You have a generous heart, but that really should be my job.

Besides, your duty is the reconstruction of Ylisse, is it not?

Stahl: Yes, but I have to at least visit Valm. I mean, we DID collect firewood together.

Cherche: Hah!

Stahl: No seriously. I consider you a good friend, Cherche.

And since our last talk, I've been studying the customs of your country.

This handkerchief is a gift from one best friend to another, is it not?

So forget Ylisse! There are plenty you can rebuild better than I.

Instead, I shall work to rebuild the country of my dear, close friend, Cherche!

Cherche: Why, Stahl, that's very sweet of you. But I think you made a mistake.

The gift of a handkerchief is only significant when exchanged between women.

From a woman to a man, it has no meaning at all. ...Well, other than a nice gift.

Stahl: O-oh, is that true? Oh gosh, it is, isn't it?

Blast, this is MOST embarrassing... Why didn't I read that passage more carefully?

Cherche: It's quite all right. I'm flattered you thought to read about my country at all.

Besides, who cares if you don't know the ins and outs of my culture?

You're pleased to be my friend, and that's all that matters.

I would be happy to call you the same.

Stahl: I'd like that very much.

Cherche: Friendship is the best way to build bridges between cultures, don't you think?

Stahl: Absolutely!

Stahl: Cherche, do you have a moment?

Cherche: Yes, what's on your mind?

Stahl: I wanted to apologize again for not knowing about the handkerchief thing.

Cherche: Don't be silly! What's a little mistake between friends anyway?

Stahl: We have become good friends, haven't we?

Cherche: You sound almost dissatisfied about that. Or is that your naturally furrowed brow?

Stahl: I think you have the right of it, Cherche. Dissatisfaction, I mean.

Cherche: What are you saying?

Stahl: Cherche, when I'm with you, I want something more than friendship.

I misinterpreted your gift last time, but this time there can be no mistake.

So... here.

Cherche: You're giving me a ring?

Stahl: It's an Ylissean custom. It means I want to marry you.

Cherche: I know. We have the same custom in Valm.

Stahl: Great. Then my intentions should be crystal clear!

I love you, Cherche. and friendship just isn't enough anymore.

I want us to be man and wife, and maybe raise a family together.

I want your home to be my home, and I want to help rebuild your country.

What do you say, Cherche? Shall we build a future together?

Cherche: You look worried again.

Stahl: Er, I was going for more of an earnest and beseeching kind of thing...

Cherche: Yes, I see it now. A pleading look, especially around the eyes.

Are you sure you want to abandon Ylisse and throw your lot in with Valm?

When your ardor cools and reality sets in, you may regret your desicion.

Stahl: The ring symbolizes a lifelong oath. I shall not break it.

Cherche: Then I must make a promise, too.

Stahl, I will love you and honor for the rest of your life.

Stahl: Y-you will? Oh, thank you Cherche! You won't regret this!

Cherche: I know. Because if you break your oath, I'll have Minerva devour you whole.

Stahl: Oh, my! Is that another one of Valm's customs?

Never fear, my love. I assure you- that is certainly not going to be necessary!

Cherche: Good! Then we're agreed.

[Onestep]

Now have the StahlxCherche support.

Stahl: Phew...Another load done. Just one more basket and...

Hmm? Whose cloak is this?

Cherche: Hello, Stahl. I see it's your turn for laundry duty today.

Stahl: Oh, hey, Cherche. Say do you know whose cloak this is?

It has the most delightful smell!

Cherche: Oh, that's mine. I sprinkle it with a special fragrance I find soothing.

It helps me get a good night's rest, even when we're camped in the wilds.

Stahl: *Sniff* Gods, it's like nothing I've ever smelled before!

Cherche: It smells of home to me. It's quite common back where I come from.

Stahl: It's interesting how things vary from place to place. Smells, fashions, art, manners...

Cherche: Before the empire swallowed up all of Valm, the land was split into small, unique realms.

You can still see those differences today as you move from town to town.

Stahl: Someday I'm going to buy you an ale and have you tell me about it!

But, um, what about the cloak? Won't all the smell run out if I wash it?

Cherche: That's fine. I'll just add more fragrance when you're done.

Stahl: Then laundered it shall be!

Cherche: You know, people in some areas of Valm have unusual ways of washing clothes.

If you're interested, we can do laundry together and I'll show you some tricks.

Stahl: Milady, I will ALWAYS take free assistance on laundry day.

Plus you can tell me more about Valm as we work!

Cherche: And in return, you can tell me some things about Ylisse.

Er, and speaking of manners and customs, it is... Um...

Well, in my land, it's considered very bad form to go sniffing a lady's cloak.

Stahl: Then why do you make it smell so good? It's like a trap!

Cherche: Heh, I suppose it is, at that.

Stahl: Tents? ...Check. Stew meat? ...Check. Firewood? ...Uh-oh. Low on firewood.

Cherche: Is something the matter?

Stahl: Oh hey, Cherche. No, nothing's the matter, pers

Cherche: Is that so? You look worried. Furrowed brow and all that.

Stahl: Oh, you can just ignore that. My brow furrows pretty easily.

Cherche: Being naturally frowny must cause many a misunderstanding, hah!

Or perhaps it just makes people fell more solicitous toward you...

Stahl: Hah! I'd never thought of it as an advantage before.

Cherche: You know, it seems like every time I see you, you're engaged in another chore.

Stahl: I volunteer a lot. I just enjoy keeping things... tidy, I guess.

Plus, you don't want some of those axe slingers going anywhere near your laundry...

Cherche: Well, I think it's very admirable. Perhaps you could use a hand?

Stahl: Well, I WAS just about to head out to collect more firewood...

Perhaps you'd care to accompany me to the forest?

I can use your talents if we stumble across any fell beasts.

Cherche: Back in my village, an invitation to collect firewood indicates romantic interest.

Something to do with firewood igniting the flames of passion in the girl's heart...

Stahl: Wha-?! G-good gracious, truly? I... I meant no offense. I swear!

...Also, that is a really weird first date. I'm just saying.

Cherche: Heh heh. Oh, it's quite all right. How were you to know?

In any case, I'll help out, and you can tell me more about the culture of Ylisse.

Stahl: Sounds like a plan.

A Rank

Cherche: Here, Stahl. This is for you.

Stahl: Oh, what a beautiful handkerchief! Thank you. ...Did you make it?

Cherche: I wanted to give you something in return for all your stories of Ylisse.

I'm not an expert at needlework, but it's the thought that matters, right?

Stahl: I think it's great! I'd buy this in a store!

Cherche: That's very kind of you to say.

You've taught me so much about the culture of Ylisse that I'm quite anxious to visit.

In fact, when this war is over, I'm planning to tour its most famous sights.

Stahl: That's funny, because when peace comes, I've decided to visit YOUR homeland.

I want to help reunite families and rebuild their towns and villages.

Cherche: You have a generous heart, but that really should be my job.

Besides, your duty is the reconstruction of Ylisse, is it not?

Stahl: Yes, but I have to at least visit Valm. I mean, we DID collect firewood together.

Cherche: Hah!

Stahl: No seriously. I consider you a good friend, Cherche.

And since our last talk, I've been studying the customs of your country.

This handkerchief is a gift from one best friend to another, is it not?

So forget Ylisse! There are plenty you can rebuild better than I.

Instead, I shall work to rebuild the country of my dear, close friend, Cherche!

That's quite a nice series of supports.
