Vito:
[Tact]'s got a real sense of humor pairing me up with this wench.
Jenna:
If you have a problem with me, then go away. Neither me or [Tact] need useless men who don't follow orders.
Vito:
You two are a pair. I don't understand it. How can you so easily work together after all this? I thought you had an immense hatred for Volund...
Jenna:
I do. But I've learned [Tact] is not him. I'm putting aside personal feelings for the sake of Deimos.
Vito:
Isn't that cute? Well, let me tell you something. You killed a lot of my friends. And I'll never forgive you. And you played a part in my mentor's death. Let's just hope I don't trip and drop my axe into your face.
Jenna:
I'll be sure to keep an eye out for you then. You seem quite clumsy after all. You must trip often.
Vito:
...

///B
Vito:
Still haven't dropped dead, yet? What a shame.
Jenna:
I'm surprised you haven't made an attempt on my life yet. Despite your mouth, you're actually quite obedient.
Vito:
It isn't that. Things have just been getting too dangerous. I haven't forgiven you for all you've done.
Jenna:
I don't need to be reminded for what I've done. I'm responsible for my own friend's deaths too. Not a day goes by without me thinking about them.
Vito:
Your friends?
Jenna:
Cameron and Lotz.
Vito:
Those were soldiers under your command... You were close, huh?
Jenna:
Cameron was my best friend. The sect may have killed her, but I put her in the position to get killed to begin with. Lotz... the same thing. But you're the ones who killed him.
Vito:
...
Jenna:
When things were calm enough, those two were going to be wed... And then my own foolishness destroyed them both. If I was not so consumed by hatred, would they still be alive?
Vito:
Why... Why you asking me?
Jenna:
... I don't know. I've asked myself that too many times.
Vito:
...

///A
Jenna:
I understand you were actually quite close to Volund.
Vito:
I was. He was rough. But you gotta be rough to toughen up people. You and [Tact] both hate him. But to me... He's my hero.
Jenna:
Completely disgusting.
Vito:
Heh, like you'd ever understand. Why do you even hate him? He and your dad were friends once, but the relationship went bad. He never gave any details though.
Jenna:
... The truth is, Volund is my father.
Vito:
Eh...? Say, what???
Jenna:
Volund and my father were friends. And Volund betrayed him. He had an affair with my mother. I'm the result of that.
Vito:
W-Wha...
Jenna:
I don't consider him to be my real father though. My father is the one who raised me, despite no blood ties. Despite the fact I represent his friend's betrayal.
Vito:
No wonder Volund would never elaborate... That's a real messed up situation...
Jenna:
Well, that's my reasoning.
Vito:
This would make you that brat's sibling, huh? ... It's a good thing you didn't end up offing each other. I don't think Volund would have wanted that.
Jenna:
It's none of my concern what Volund wanted.
Vito:
Yeah, yeah... But hooo, that's a lot to take in... Now I'm real conflicted. I'll never forgive you, but I don't think I can allow you to die.
Jenna:
Because I'm Volund's child?
Vito:
You may not like it or understand but... Far as I'm concerned, I think I owe my mentor your safety. That's what Volund would want, I believe.
Jenna:
Well, you keep believing whatever you want.
