Velouria: Hey, Caeldori. You read books, right?
Caeldori: [smile] Of course. Why do you ask?
Velouria: Have this. I’ve had it lying around for ages.
Caeldori: [surprised] What… is it?
Velouria: [frown] It’s a book. Obviously.
Velouria: If you don’t want it, I’ll find someone else. I just thought you’d probably like it.
Caeldori: [surprised] It’s not like you to give your Treasures away…
Velouria: [surprised, blush] You know about Treasures?
Velouria: Well- it’s not a TREASURE Treasure.
Velouria: [frown] Besides, Daddy’s making me. Or Avatar’s making Daddy make me.
Velouria: Something about hoarding and fire hazards.
Caeldori: [smile] I love decluttering! Do you want some help!
Velouria: [surprised] Uh- sure.
Caeldori: Wonderful. I need to pay you back for this, after all.
Caeldori: I’ll come by later! This’ll be fun!
Velouria: [sweat] Your fun is weird.
[Velouria leaves]
Caeldori: I’d better dust this off before I shelve it. I never picked Velouria for an avid reader…
Caeldori: ‘Dark Passions of the Heart’?
Caeldori: [blush, surprised] (“He glowered at her, his eyes full of passion, lust, and pain.”)
Caeldori: (“Her friends were wrong. How could he be bad if he made her feel so good?”)
Caeldori: Oh my.

Caeldori: [smile, blush] That book you gave me has been quite… interesting.
Velouria: [smile] It’s great, isn’t it? So textured.
Velouria: I figured you’d appreciate it.
Velouria: If I have to part with my Treasures, I’d rather they go to people who value the-
Velouria: [angry] No! Not that! Can’t you see how beautiful the fractures are?
Caeldori: [sweat] Of course. My mistake.
Velouria: [sad] This shell… I found this when I went swimming for the first time.
Velouria: How am I meant to choose between all of this?!
Caeldori: (This is genuinely upsetting her…)
Caeldori: W-well, there might be a way you don’t have to!
Velouria: Huh?
Caeldori: What struck me when I first came in here -aside from the smell- is how your belongings are scattered everywhere.
Caeldori: If we store them properly, they’ll take up less space.
Velouria: And then I won’t need to get rid of them.
Velouria: [smile] So THAT’S why your room looks like that.
Velouria: That’s pretty smart. Lead the way.
Caeldori: [smile] Gladly! Alright, we’ll need some shelving, definitely some baskets…

A-support
[Caeldori is alone]
Caeldori: [smile] And… there we go. Alphabetised at last!
Caeldori: I wonder if I’ve got time to finish this before Velouria comes by…
Caeldori: [smile, blush] (“He caressed her cheek, his warm, strong hands leaving a tingling trail of fire on her supple skin…”)
[scene transition]
Caeldori: [smile, blush] (“…for she had tamed his savage heart.”)
Caeldori: [eyes closed, smile, blush] (…)
[Velouria appears]
Velouria: Ugh, you’re finally done.
Caeldori: Ack! H-how long were you watching me?!
Velouria: A while.
Velouria: [smile] Daddy and Avatar said I don’t have to throw anything out.
Velouria: They’ll even let me keep collecting Treasures as long as it doesn’t get messy again.
Velouria: (Like they could stop me…)
Caeldori: [smile] That’s great news! Then it’s high time I return this to you.
Velouria: [blush] Oh… you can keep it.
Caeldori: Huh? But- I know how much you care about your Treasures!
Velouria: Yeah. But you treasured it more.
Velouria: You went so red I thought you’d catch fire.
Caeldori: [blush] Fiddlesticks…
Velouria: [frown] You’re one of the first humans I’ve ever met who understands Treasures without me having to explain it a thousand times. Why is that?
Caeldori: Er… why wouldn’t I understand?
Caeldori: You like collecting precious things that you see beauty in. That seems normal to me.
Velouria: Most people think my Treasures are gross.
Caeldori: [sweat, smile] Well, they’re not all what I’d define as beautiful, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Velouria: [smile] …Huh.
Velouria: Well, I’ll keep my eye out for more books you might like.
Velouria: What was that one about, anyway? It had the prettiest mildew on the back cover, but I never looked inside…
Caeldori: [blush, sweat] Just- just adults being friends.
Velouria: [smile] Boring. You like weird stuff, Caeldori.
Caeldori: [blush, smile] Yes. Boring indeed.

S-support
[Velouria alone]
Velouria: [angry] That doesn’t help either. Stupid book!
Velouria: Or- does Caeldori WANT someone to be like that to her?
Velouria: [eyes closed] No, that’s even stupider. Argh!
Caeldori: [offscreen] Velouria? Are you in there?
[Caeldori appears]
Caeldori: [smile] If you wanted to borrow my books, you could’ve just asked. Most of them are probably too pristine to be interesting.
Velouria: [frown] I read them.
Caeldori: [blush] I- I thought you hated reading!
Velouria: I do! But they’re important to you!
Caeldori: So… what did you think?
Velouria: [angry] They made me mad!
Velouria: The characters are so stupid! They’re all too proud to talk to each other or say what they mean!
Velouria: Why do you like people like that?!
Caeldori: [sweat] Well, with romance books it’s more about watching the formula play out…
Caeldori: [eyes closed, sad] It’s not meant to be wish fulfilment or anything like that.
Velouria: [blush] …Oh.
Velouria: [sweat] Sorry. I just insulted the things you like, even when you didn’t question my Treasures.
Velouria: [frown, blush] I just didn’t get why you’d like men like that.
Caeldori: [blush] …I don’t.
Velouria: [blush, angry] Good!
Velouria: [injured] Argh. I’ve messed this up.
Velouria: I wanted to find an idea for something you liked. But instead I’m like those stupid jerks in those books.
Velouria: Romance is hard.
Caeldori: [surprised] R-romance?!
Velouria: [blush] Yeah. You’re great, Caeldori. You’re smart and tough, but you don’t turn your nose up at other people.
Velouria: [injured, sweat] I wanted to tell you that in a way you’d like, but…
Caeldori: [blush, smile] Oh, Velouria…
Caeldori: What you’ve said now is perfect. Your kindness and sincerity is more romantic than any brooding knight!
Velouria: [blush] Are you sure?
Caeldori: [blush] Positive.
Caeldori: …Does this mean we can hug now?
Velouria: [blush, smile] That would be great.
Velouria: [smile, closed eyes, blush] Mm, you’re so soft. I’m not letting go for a while.
Caeldori: [smile] There’s nowhere I’d rather be.
