Shiro-Dwyer Sibling C-A

C

Shiro: Wow, it's like a meeting for the Disappointments Club in here.

Dwyer: Shiro, great to see you. Did you bring your pamphlet?

Dwyer: Our itinerary is pretty packed.

Shiro: Oh yeah? What's on the menu?

Dwyer: First we disappoint our parents.

Dwyer: Then, and follow me here, we disappoint our parents.

Shiro: Good to see you still have a sense of humor, li'l bro!

Shiro: Did you ever figure out a weapon to use?

Dwyer: It's been years since we had that conversation. You still remember that?

Shiro: Sure do. It's the last thing we talked about.

Shiro:...Before they carted me off to new caretakers.

Dwyer: ...

Shiro: ...

Dwyer: We have a lot to catch up on, don't we?

Shiro: Yeah... You promised me we'd spar once you picked a weapon.

Dwyer: I hate to disappoint you too, but I never chose.

Dwyer: I find I'm far more suited to the staff instead.

Shiro: Hey, nothing wrong with being a healer!

Shiro: But what are you gonna do if you end up in a fight?

Dwyer: Bare fists.

Shiro: Hahah! You're funny, li'l bro. But fists won't cut it on a battlefield.

Shiro: Tell you what, why don't I help you pick?

Shiro: Gives us time to catch up, too!

Dwyer: Hmm... That doesn't sound too terrible. Maybe we can give it a try.

B

Shiro: 'Kay, Dwyer. I've got as many weapons as my arms could carry!

Dwyer: Wow. There's at least five there.

Shiro: Yeah, I'm pretty beefy. So, anything catching your eye?

Dwyer: Maybe I could try using a naginata, like you.

Shiro: Pshh! Be original. Besides, there's no way you'll beat me on home territory.

Dwyer: Isn't sparring more about the training than the competition?

Shiro: Sure, if you're boring. When I fight, I fight to win.

Dwyer: Have you ever beaten Dad with that thing?

Shiro(smiling): Shut up! Pick something.

Dwyer: Hmm... What about a yumi?

Shiro: Still wanting to stay away from enemy lines, huh?

Shiro: I can't say I blame you.

Dwyer: Ah, but I can't spar with you if I'm using a bow.

Dwyer: I thought this would be easy.

Shiro: Honestly, me too. Seems like pickings are slimmer than we thought.

Dwyer: What's left... Axes?

Shiro: Do you have the strength for axes, Dwy?

Dwyer: I probably do... What I don't have is the energy.

Shiro: So that just leaves...

Dwyer: ...

Shiro: ...

Dwyer: ...I'm not using a katana.

Shiro: I wasn't going to suggest it, either.

Dwyer: Why don't we sleep on it?

Shiro: Hah! You just want to take a nap!

Shiro: Oh well. Can't hurt to take a break.

Dwyer: Shiro, sometimes I think you're the only sensible one in our family.

A

Shiro: Well, back to the drawing board.

Dwyer: Can't we just go back to hosting the Disappointments Club?

Shiro: Is that not what we've been doing this whole time?

Dwyer: You've got a point... But we aren't getting anywhere.

Shiro: Would you believe me if I said sleeping on it gave me an idea?

Dwyer: Of course I would. All my best plans came from naps.

Shiro: Why don't I just protect you? I'm your big brother, after all.

Dwyer: Huh? That's a little impractical, Shiro.

Shiro: Says you! We could be a dynamic duo!

Shiro: I'll mow down the enemy at the front lines, and you can keep me in top shape.

Shiro: You'd never have to see a fight if you didn't want to.

Dwyer: Heh... This isn't how I thought this would go...

Shiro: What are you mumbling about?

Shiro: How'd you expect it to go?

Dwyer: ...

Shiro: Dwyer? C'mon, li'l bro. What's wrong?

Dwyer: To tell you the truth, Shiro...

Dwyer: It isn't that I couldn't decide what to use. I put it off.

Shiro: You've been relying on your fists this whole time on purpose?

Shiro: Don't you think that's a little risky?

Dwyer: Maybe. But I wanted you to help me pick, like you promised when we were kids.

Dwyer: I never thought we wouldn't be able to decide.

Shiro: Dwyer, you... You missed me that much, huh?

Dwyer: You're my big brother. Isn't it obvious I'd miss you?

Shiro: Aww, Dwyer! C'mere!

Dwyer: URK! S-Shiro, too tight...!

Shiro: Sorry, sorry! I just... I missed you too.

Dwyer: ...Hey, Shiro. I had an idea, too.

Shiro: While you napped?

Dwyer: Just now, actually. Why don't I learn magic?

Dwyer: Then I can support you defensively and offensively from the back line.

Shiro: ...How come I didn't think of that?! Dwyer, you're a genius!

Shiro: We'll be the twin princes of the battlefield!

Dwyer: I think I prefer the dynamic duo... But as long as we aren't separated again, I'll be happy.

Shiro: We won't be. I swear it on my trusty 'nata!
