Asugi & m!Kana C-S support

C-support
Asugi: [sweat, smile] Phew! Talk about an intense job.
Asugi: Alright, time to hit the-
Kana: [off-screen] *sniffle* N-no…
Asugi: [frown] Huh?
Kana: [still off-screen] Please!
Asugi: Kana?
Kana: [eyes closed, as sad as possible] … *whimper*
Asugi: [frown, sweat] Ah, geez. Nightmares, huh?
Kana: Mama… please, don’t go…
Asugi: [sad] Come on, kiddo, wakey-wakey…
Kana: [injured] Huh…?
Kana: Why’s it still dark…?
Asugi: ‘Cause it’s nowhere near morning. You were having a bad dream.
Kana: [upset] That’s right… I was…
Kana: [crying] I wasn’t good enough so Mama made me go!
Asugi: [injured] Oh, boy…
Asugi: She’d never do that, Fluffy, not in the real world. No parent would treat their kid in such a messed-up way.
Kana: *sniffle* B-but… I’m not always good at fighting, and I’m too small to help around camp much…
Kana: I’m… I’m useless! Waaaaah!
Asugi: Hey, hey, hey…
Kana: Y-you’re always doing missions and spying on bad guys, right, Asugi?
Kana: Please! Teach me to be like you!
Asugi: C’mon, Boss isn’t gonna ditch you no matter what…
Kana: Please! *sob*
Asugi: Okay, okay!
Kana: [smile, sweat] *sniffle* Th-thank you…
Kana: I just... I don’t wanna… *yawn*
Kana: [eyes closed, smile] …thanks, ‘sugi…
Kana: …zzzzzz…
Asugi: [sweat] (Aaaand he’s out. He’s heavy for such a little guy…)

B-support
Kana: [determined] Okay! I’m ready for stealth training!
Asugi: [smile] Right on time, Fluffy.
Kana: Fluffy?
Kana: [smile, closed eyes] Oh, I get it! It’s ironic ‘cause I’m a dragon!
Asugi: [sweat, smile] Yeah, of course.
Asugi: [eyes closed, sweat, smile] (Definitely not just your fluffy hair.)
Asugi: Alright, first we’re gonna work on some fundamentals in the Mess Hall.
Asugi: Stealth’s all about being aware of your own body. Your height, your weight, the way you move…
Asugi: You can’t do anything before you have a good grasp on that.
Kana: [smile, closed eyes] So what’s first? Picking pockets? Jumping down from behind people and knocking them out?
Asugi: Like I said, Fluffy, fundamentals.
Asugi: Go hide behind that counter, and position yourself so you can see me but I can’t see you. Then call out to me.
Kana: [surprised] What? But…
Asugi: Off you go!
Kana: [smile, closed eyes] This’ll be a cinch!
Kana: …
Kana: …
Kana: Hidden!
Asugi: … Nope.
Kana: [surprised] But- But I’m totally hidden!
Asugi: Your body might be, but your hair’s sticking out.
Kana: Aww…
[scene transition]
Kana: [injured] Phew… that was REALLY tiring!
Kana: I didn’t think stealth involved so much thinking!
Asugi: [smile] Sad but true.
Kana: So… do you like being a ninja?
Asugi: Parts of it. I like sneaking around, infiltrating, that kind of thing.
Kana: [smile, closed eyes] The kind of stuff we’re practicing!
Kana: [surprised] But wait, what parts don’t you like?
Asugi: [frown, closed eyes] The killing, mostly.
Asugi: [frown, eyes open] When you’re on the battlefield fighting for your life, that’s one thing.
Asugi: If some knight’s trying to run down me and mine, I’ll slip a knife through his armour without hesitation.
Asugi: But when it’s dead quiet and they don’t even know you’re there…
Asugi: [injured, eyes closed] I just can’t. Turns my stomach.
Asugi: So I don’t. Even if it makes me a subpar ninja.
Kana: [smile] …You’re so cool, Asugi.
Asugi: [surprised] Huh?
Kana: You’re all cool and together like a grown up, but you still get normal stuff.
Asugi: [smile] Heh. Thanks, Kana.
Kana: [smile, closed eyes] No problem!

A-support
Asugi: [eyes closed, smile] This suuure is a delicious bag of sweets I’ve got in front of me.
Asugi: Yeah, it’d be a real shame if someone were to steal it.
Kana: [determined] …
Kana: …
Kana: [surprised] …!
Asugi: [eyes open, smile] Almost, but not quite.
Kana: [frown] Aww, stupid table creak gave me away!
Asugi: Remember, always step either close to the wall, or close to something heavier than you.
Kana: Sneaking across wooden floors is the worst.
Asugi: Just wait ‘til you’re trying to sneak up on someone in the mud.
Asugi: One wrong move and splat, mud up your nose!
Kana: [smile] Haha! That sounds gross!
Kana: [neutral] Hey, Asugi?
Kana: ...Mama didn’t let me fight the other day. Even though I’ve been practicing and training, I…
Kana: [crying] I’m still not good enough, am I?
Asugi: [sad] Kana, it’s not like that.
Asugi: …You’re talking about those bandits, right? The ones who attacked that caravan?
Kana: [sad] Y-yeah…
Asugi: [eyes closed, frown] It wasn’t that she didn’t think you were good enough. It was…
Asugi: [sad] She wanted to protect you.
Kana: [surprised] Huh?
Asugi: Those rogues were… They weren’t good people. They’d been abducting travellers and…
Asugi: [frown, closed eyes] They’re gone now. But I know why Avatar wouldn’t have wanted you to see that.
Kana: [determined] But I’m big now! I can help!
Asugi: It’s not about helping in battle.
Asugi: Avatar loves you. She doesn’t want you to have to see something terrible.
Kana: [sad] But… what about you?
Kana: You’re not THAT much bigger than me! Why’d your Papa let you go?
Asugi: [frown, sweat] My old man has different priorities.
Kana: [determined] He’s your Papa! He loves you!
Asugi: [sweat, blush] Y-yeah, I know…
Asugi: [frown] But the way he thinks of it is that seeing that kind of thing, fighting like we do, even killing people the ninja way…
Asugi: It’s all stuff you HAVE to do. Even if it’s not pleasant.
Kana: Like how you have to learn to sleep without a candle?
Asugi: Yep, pretty much.
Kana: [sad] I don’t get it. Why do they disagree?
Asugi: Well, not everyone thinks about raising kids the same way.
Asugi: My old man basically hero-worships his dad. But the guy who raised Avatar wasn’t nice to her, and she doesn’t remember her Hoshidan parents very well.
Asugi: So Saizo’s trying to follow in his father’s footsteps, while Avatar’s doing anything but that.
Kana: …So Mama wants to protect me because she wishes her Mama had been able to protect her?
Asugi: [smile] Pretty much. That and she loves you lots.
Kana: [smile, closed eyes] I love her too! Thanks, Asugi!
Asugi: Feeling better?
Kana: Yep! Can we practice sneaking some more?
Asugi: Sure thing. But here – I think you’ve earned a few sweets.
Kana: Yay!

S-support
Asugi: [smile] Mm, looking tasty!
Kana: [smile] They smell so good! Can we eat them now?
Asugi: Almost! Let’s just give them a couple of minutes to cool.
Asugi: I’ll just get us se- huh?
Asugi: [surprised] Hey, what’s this?
Kana: [smile, closed eyes] I snuck it into your pocket! You didn’t even notice!
Asugi: [smile] Nice work! You’re gonna be a master ninja in no time.
Kana: Read it!
Asugi: Hmm… ‘To Asugi… We’ve been friends for a long time and it makes me really happy.’
Asugi: [surprised] ‘Will you do me the honour of…’ Whoa!
Asugi: Really? Best friends… with me?
Kana: [smile] Yeah! You’re so cool, and we hang out all the time, and…
Asugi: [smile, closed eyes] Sounds sweet to me.
Asugi: [smile, blush] Although, uh, I’ve never been best friends with someone before.
Kana: Me neither!
Kana: [smile, blush] But I was thinking about what it’d be like being a grown up, and…
Kana: I can’t imagine us not being friends.
Asugi: You won’t have to imagine it, Fluffy. Best friends forever, right?
Kana: Yeah! Best friends forever!
Asugi: Now, let’s seal the deal with one of these cupcakes.
Kana: [smile, closed eyes] Yaaaay!
