Peri: Hey! You! Miss Demon Lady!
Oboro: Excuse me? A Nohrian? What right do you have to-
Peri: Yay! The Demon is back! Does that mean there’s more people around to kill? Where? Lemme at ‘em!
Oboro: Wait, there are enemy soldiers on camp? I don’t hear anyone...
Peri: Huh? You don’t? Then why’s your face like that again?
Oboro: My face? … Is that what you meant by demon?
Peri: Yeah! I know that look! That’s the look of someone who’s got a craving for some deprav… depraving? Is that a word?
Oboro: Sorry to burst your bubble, but I get this way around Nohrians. And the name’s Oboro.
Peri: So you want to kill me? That’s mean! What did I ever do to you?
Oboro: No, it’s got nothing to do with killing. Not anymore, at least.
Peri: Oh, OK! Yay!
Oboro: Wait, weren’t you just looking for people to kill?
Peri: Was I? Oh, yeah! But it’s OK! I’ll find more later!
Oboro: I… Could we back up for a second? So you want to kill people… But if I wanted to kill you, that would be mean?
Peri: Yeah! The people I kill deserve it!
Oboro: … How?
Peri: Well, they’re enemies, or bandits, or butlers… Real scummy types, y’know?
Oboro: Butlers?
Peri: Yeah! Butlers are really, really bad! You gotta take them out before they hurt you!
Oboro: …
Oboro: (Nohrians are good people, they said…)
Peri: Anyway! You’re reaaaaally good with that spear!
Oboro: … I’ll try to take that as the compliment I know it was meant as.
Peri: Huh?
Oboro: Thank you. Is that all?
Peri: Nah! I wanna know if you can teach me!
Oboro: You want me… To teach you?
Peri: Of course! I can see it when you fight! You’ve got a real good aim for the major organs! I wish I could take out hearts half as good as you!
Oboro: … You’re Prince Xander’s retainer, right?
Peri: Yup! And I gotta fight the best I can if I want to make him proud!
Oboro: I… Does he let you just go around murdering people?
Peri: I wish… Party pooper that he is says I should tone it down, try to leave the baddies alive. Means I have to keep my killing a secret…
Oboro: Huh... I guess I kinda assumed that was a Nohrian thing.
Peri: Nah… Most Nohrians are pretty against murder and death. It’s really sad.
Oboro: I’m not sure if that makes this better or worse…
Peri: So do you like killing?
Oboro: I… I try not to.
Peri: Seriously? That’s such a waste! You’re so good at it! And that anger I can see in your eyes…
Oboro: ... I prefer to think of that as... “Righteous Indignation” more than anger…
Peri: Yeah! It is righteous, right? Nothing wrong with some good-old fashioned bloodsport! I think you need to let go of yourself a little!
Oboro: … Why? What good would that do?
Peri: Well… I was thinking… You’re a lot like me!
Oboro: … What did you just say?
Peri: You’re like me! There aren’t many people with bloodthirst like we have! Hey, if you wanted to cut loose, maybe we could do some killing together!
Oboro (Switching to distress): …
Peri: What’s wrong? Your face is all… Not-Demony!
Oboro: I… I think I need to go and lie down.
Peri: Suit yourself! Let me know if there’s anyone you wanna try and kill!
(Peri Leaves)
Oboro: … Do I really come off like that?

B:
Oboro: Peri!
Peri: Hey, Obo! Changed your mind about killing? There’s a new Butler on camp, and I’ve been itching to-
Oboro: No, no! Please, don’t do that!
Peri: Awww, still in this mood, huh? Suit yourself. You’re really missing out, though… You know you’d like it if you just gave it a chance!
Oboro: I… I’m pretty sure that I wouldn’t.
Peri: Psshaw, that’s a load of bunk! The only people who don’t like blood and carnage haven’t tried it!
Oboro: … (What the hell is wrong with this woman?)
Peri: Uh… Hello? Earth to Obo?
Oboro: Oh, uh… Sorry. I was just thinking.
Peri: Ohhhh, you’re one of those thinky types… No problem! Whatcha thinking about?
Oboro: Well… I was thinking… The reason I wanted to talk to you today was… You said you thought we were alike?
Peri: Yeah! Birds of a feather, peas in a pod, daggers through the same diaphragm…
Oboro: … I’ve never heard that saying before.
Peri: You like it? I made it myself!
Oboro: It’s… Certainly something…
Peri: Awww… That always means bad things…
Oboro: No, no, it’s fine… It’s very… Peri. (Not that I’d call that a good thing…)
Peri: OK! Well, I always try to be my Peri-est!
Oboro: Look, mind if I make this quick? You said we were alike? We aren’t. My ang… Righteous Indignation, at Nohrians? I get that because I watched Nohrians kill my parents. I’ve got a reason for it.
Peri: Oh, Obo… You too? I thought I was the only one!
Oboro: … What?
Peri: When I was a little girl, my mother… I don’t like to think about it, but... She had a very nasty butler, and one day, he… It wasn’t nice. I watched the whole thing…
Oboro: Peri… Oh, gods, I’m so sorry...
Peri: It’s… Not something I like to talk about very much. It’s hard. But if you had the same thing happen to you… That’s just another thing we have in common!
Oboro: I… I suppose it is… That isn’t an easy thing to deal with… Was I too harsh on you?
Peri: Mhmm! Oooh, wait! I just had an idea! You hate Nohrians, and I hate Butlers! Why don’t we go and kill some Nohrian Butlers! It’s the best of both worlds!
Oboro: … (No, I wasn’t…)
Oboro: I… I’d still rather not…
Peri: Awww, I really thought I had you that time…
Oboro: Peri… Please. Stop trying to push this on me. I’m never going to join you like that. It’s difficult to even stand being around you when you talk about murder like that. Honestly… It’s upsetting me.
Peri: What? It is?
Oboro: Yeah… You know, I’ve found, for some reason… You don’t bring out the hate in me like most Nohrians do. Maybe it’s because it feels like I’m talking to a child. But when you talk about murder like that? It’s even worse. It just churns my stomach...
Peri: I… I’ve been hurting you? Ohmygosh, Obo, I’m so sorry! Is there anything I can do? Lemme cook something for you! Pleeeeease! I have to make it up to you!
Oboro: I… Yeah, go and do that. I’m feeling pretty ill right now… I’d be better off alone.
Peri: Oh, Obo… Well, I know just the thing! I’ll cook up a meal that’ll fix you right up!
Oboro: Yeah…. You do that.

A:
Peri: Hey, Obo! Dinner’s ready!
Oboro: Thanks, I suppose… Why’d you decide to make this for me anyway?
Peri: Because I like you, silly! I want to be your friend!
Oboro: … Even though I’m not interested in murder?
Peri: Well, duh! Why would that stop me? I do have other character traits besides killing, you know!
Oboro: I’ll take your word for it…
Peri: The bigger question is why you came back… I thought you hated me!
Oboro: I… Can I be honest?
Peri: Sure! I’m always honest!
Oboro: OK… Well, I wanted to hate you. I really did. I wanted to look at you and see everything I’ve said about Nohr for years confirmed.
Peri: Uh-huh? So why don’t you?
Oboro: Well… I didn’t realize it at first, but… You’re right. I can see a lot of myself in you.
Peri: Really? Thanks, Obo!
Oboro: That’s not really a compliment… They’re parts of myself that… I’m not fond of.
Peri: Aww, Obo… Don’t be like that, please! You’re really nice! I don’t know how you couldn’t like yourself!
Oboro: I mean… I do. Mostly. But that’s because I’m good at keeping my worst impulses in check… But even then, when I see Nohrians… I have to hold myself back. A lot. And I think the only reason I can is because I was trained to. The folks who raised me… They were pretty high-up in the Hoshidan army themselves. They knew how to keep people in line… And they knew what could happen if someone wasn’t.
Peri: Ohhhhh… So you weren’t allowed to kill and stuff?
Oboro: Not at all. They didn’t even let me spar until they knew I’d be able to hold myself back. But even with that… There are times I want to kill. When Lady Corrin turned her back on Hoshido… If I’d been there that day, I’d have torn her to pieces without a second thought. I don’t even know what would have happened if Takumi didn’t side with her too.
Peri: My Daddy wasn’t like that… He let me kill all I like. We went through so many maids and butlers... I never even knew people thought it was wrong.
Oboro: And that’s all that really separates us, isn’t it? Who raised us. With worse guardians than I had… I could well be just like you. And that scares me.
Peri: But it shouldn’t, Obo! Sure, you might wanna kill people. But you don’t! Because you’re strong! Being able to just… Not do something that fun, because you think it’s wrong, and not because anyone else says so? That means you gotta have a lot of control that I don’t!
Oboro: I don’t really think it does. Everyone else manages it.
Peri: But they don’t struggle with it like you do! Listen, Obo. I think you’re really neat. And a good person!
Oboro: You think so?
Peri: Yeah!  I’m sorry I tried to push you into murder… But it’s really great that you could say no! That means we really aren’t like each other.
Oboro: Maybe… Or maybe I’ve been looking at this the wrong way.
Peri: Huh?
Oboro: Peri… I know how your bloodlust feels. Better than anyone else in the army. So maybe I’m the right person to help you control yourself.
Peri: Hmmm… I guess you could… But I’m not sure I wanna stop killing…
Oboro: I mean… It’s not really about that. It’s about getting rid of that thirst for it outside of battle.
Peri: That could be nice! Plus, Lord Xander would be so proud of me!
Oboro: I think he would be! And besides… I want to get to know the Peri beneath all that blood and gore.
Peri: You do?
Oboro: Yeah! I mean, I have to know how you get your hair like that. A gal with taste like that can’t be all bad, right?
Peri: Awwww… How can I say no to that? Thanks, Obo!
Oboro: It’ll be my pleasure.
S:
Peri: Hey, Obo! You’ve got a suuuper special crush you don’t want anyone to know about, right?
Oboro: … Keep it down, would you?
Peri Huh… Oh, right. Sorry. Hey, Obo! You totally don’t have anyone you’ve got eyes for, do you? Not a single person you’ve been in love with for a long time?
Oboro: … Could we take this someplace else?
Peri: OK! Hey! We’re not going anywhere important! No reason to follow us!
(Cut)
Peri: So, about that crush...
Oboro: Heh… You got me… I do. But I’ve long lost hope it’ll ever happen.
Peri: Since he’s a prince and you’re not, right?
Oboro: I… I mean, I guess there’s that. But he’s also… Just not very good with his emotions. But at this point, I’m fine with us just being friends.
Peri: Well… What if I told you you don’t need to just be friends?
Oboro: Huh? Why?
Peri: Because I got him to agree to a date with you!
Oboro: Wait, really?
Peri: Uh-huh! Tomorrow evening!
Oboro: … Thanks, Peri… You really didn’t need to do that, though…
Peri: Huh? Why’d you go all sad? You should be happy!
Oboro: I… It’s nothing. Thanks, Peri. I mean it…
Peri: No you don’t! I can see it! Tell me what’s wrong! And if it’s something I can stab.
Oboro: You… Do you want the truth?
Peri: Yeah!
Oboro: Well… Recently… That crush has faded away… Since I’ve met someone else.
Peri: Ooh… Well, do you want me to try and…
Oboro: No, no… Don’t bother. Please.
Peri: Well, what if I-
Oboro: It’s you, Peri, OK? But you clearly don’t-
Peri: Whaaaaaat? You like me back? Ohmygosh, yay! I didn’t think this could happen!
Oboro: … What? You… You like me too? Even with all my baggage with Nohr?
Peri: Awww, Obo, none of that matters to me! Besides, I don’t have to think as well as you do to know loving me means looking past a lotta nasty stuff. I didn’t think you could!
Oboro: I… I’m a little surprised myself, really. If you’d have told me after we first met that I’d fall for you, I’d think it was a cruel joke. But the more time I spend with you, the more I see things I love. You’re loyal, with a great fashion sense, and a sweet heart.
Peri: Well, if my heart is sweet, that must mean I’m extra special! They’re usually pretty sour, you know!
Oboro: …
Peri: I’m joking! I’m joking!
Oboro: That’s… A huge relief.
Peri: So… When do you wanna go out?
Oboro: Hmmm…. Did you make reservations for tomorrow evening?
Peri: Yup! I guess we could… Oh, shoot… That means I gotta tell Xander you two’s date is off!
Oboro: … Xander?
Peri: Yeah! I can see why you’d be into him! He is one fine hunk of ribcage, if you get me!
Oboro: I… Yeah… Sure. I just hope he isn’t too hurt…
Peri: I hope not! Since he’ll be seeing a lot more of you now we’re together!
Oboro: Hehehe… Yeah… That might be a little awkward…
Oboro: (I guess it’s better than Takumi knowing…)
