Forrest & Nina siblings

C-support
Nina: [smile] Forrest? How’s my favourite brother doing?
Forrest: [smile] Still reigning champion by default. Aren’t I also your least favourite brother?
Nina: Aww, only sometimes.
Nina: This army’s something, huh? So many people from different walks of life!
Forrest: [smile] Mm, I far prefer it to that place.
Forrest: There’s only one dark cloud…
Nina: [frown] I know exactly what you mean.
Forrest: [frown] Father.
Nina: [pout] He’s just so dismissive!
Forrest: He always thinks he knows best.
Nina: And gods forbid he ever disagree with your opinion! No matter how much you thought it through, he just dismisses you as naïve!
Forrest: I know! As though we’re to be docile replicas trotted out for everyone’s approval.
Forrest: [eyes closed, frown] Well, I’m done with it. I’m through being ashamed of who I am.
Nina: [determined] Yeah! I know what’s right, no matter what he wants to lecture me about!
Forrest: [sad] I wish he could be more like Father. He understands these things.
Nina: I know! Every time I think about how they ended up together, I just… argh!
Forrest: Perhaps we should confront him together?
Nina: [smile, closed eyes] Y’know, I think that could work! With Father on our side, we’re sure to talk some sense into that jerk.
Forrest: [smile] Agreed. Maybe then he’ll finally show us some respect.
Nina: [smile, sweat] Let’s not get our hopes up too high, brother.

B-support
Forrest: [frown] …
Nina: [frown] …
Forrest: How could you talk to Father like that?!
Nina: Me?! You’re the one who was sucking up! What happened to confronting him together?!
Forrest: I could ask the same of you! Why, it’s like-
Forrest: [surprised] Oh.
Forrest: [sweat, frown] I suppose I should’ve predicted this would happen if we just used Father for both of them.
Nina: Wait, you were talking about Leo the whole time?! Why?
Forrest: [frown] He’s ashamed of me for the way I dress!
Nina: It’s not that! It’s just- it’s about appearing princely!
Forrest: [upset] You too?!
Nina: [angry] No! And- how can you stand that man!? He’s vile, condescending, sleazy-
Forrest: [angry] At least he doesn’t try to make me something I’m not!
Forrest: You’re still angry he told you not to be a thief?
Nina: Of course I’m angry! He’s a hypocrite!
Forrest: No, he’s trying to stop you from making the same mistakes he did – unlike Leo, who’s behaving just as badly as Grandfather did!
Nina: Don’t bring him into it!
Forrest: You’re going to stand up for him now?! You know he’s the reason we were locked away in that place to begin with – so he wouldn’t find out about us!
Nina: That only would’ve been a problem because Niles is such a creep!
Forrest: [frown, closed eyes] This is absurd. I’m leaving.
Nina: [frown, closed eyes] My thoughts exactly.

A-support
Nina: [eyes closed, sweat] Wow. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Fa- Leo that angry.
Forrest: [eyes closed, sweat] That was unexpectedly brutal.
Forrest: Though I suppose it should’ve been obvious they’d both take umbrage at us denigrating the other.
Forrest: They do love each other, after all.
Nina: [injured] Hey… I’m sorry I spoke like that to you.
Nina: The way Leo treated your tailoring was inexcusable. And I should never have brought up the King.
Forrest: [sad] Still, I had no idea the relationship between Leo and the King was so fraught.
Forrest: It must have been difficult for him, growing up with such a harsh father.
Nina: [sad] I should’ve given Niles a bit more credit too. Life on the street like that…
Nina: [eyes closed] Our fathers might’ve screwed up in some ways, but… they still gave us a childhood better than theirs were.
Forrest: Indeed. I just wish they’d trusted their own parenting enough to raise us normally.
Nina: [surprised] Huh?
Forrest: I think that’s why, truly. If they’d been determined, they could have found a nurse or passed us off as someone else’s children.
Forrest: [sad] But neither of them trusted themselves as parents. The Deeprealms must’ve looked quite an elegant solution.
Nina: [frown, closed eyes] You’re right. It’s equal parts sad and annoying.
Forrest: Mm. If they’d only trusted themselves, maybe…
Forrest: Well. It’s too late for that.
Nina: [smile] There is one benefit, though.
Nina: Since we’re here, we can keep an eye on them.
Forrest: [surprised] You’re right. I mean, we’re practically peers with them at this point.
Nina: Mm-hmm! So now we can stop them doing anything else foolish.
Forrest: Gods know they could do with our help. Leo especially.
Nina: [smile, closed eyes] I think you’re underestimating Niles here.
Forrest: [smile] At least he’s self-aware.
Nina: [smile] Okay, okay! I’ll give you that! But Leo definitely has better fashion sense.
Forrest: Excuse me, I’m clearly more qualified to judge fashion than you.
Forrest: [smile, closed eyes] …But you’re absolutely right. When he manages to wear his clothes right side out, that is.
Nina: [smile] You noticed too! It kinda undercut the scolding, didn’t it?
Forrest: Just a little. Perhaps we should develop a codeword…
Nina: What about ‘chamberpot’?
Forrest: [sweat] …let’s workshop this, shall we?
