Dakini:
So, you're Prince Arjun...
Arjun:
Yes. Who are you?
Dakini:
... Just a bandit turning over a new leaf...
Arjun:
Even so, I'd love to know your name.
Dakini:
Dakini...
Arjun:
Well, I'm glad to have you with us, Dakini!
Dakini:
The feeling is mutual. You've... never heard my name before?
Arjun:
I'm afraid not. Should I have?
Dakini:
Oh, no. As I said, I'm just a bandit.
Arjun:
I see...

Arjun:
Remarkable... How did you get so strong?
Dakini:
I just grew into it. I didn't have a choice. It was either get strong or die.
Arjun:
Just like Lord Raum said...
Dakini:
How I live has nothing to do with what that man said!
Arjun:
Oh, it isn't anything like that. He just warned me just how the natural order of things is... You may not like him, but you know how tough it is out there...
Dakini:
... Yeah.
Arjun:
I made a vow not long ago. If this is a world of strength... then I will do whatever I can to be strong. I'll do whatever it takes to restore Deimos as a great emperor.
Dakini:
... You are a good person. I'm sure you'll make an amazing ruler.
Arjun:
I hope so. But with people like you as inspiration, I think I'll be able to do it!
Dakini:
I... inspire you? A mere brigand?
Arjun:
Yes.
Dakini:
Well... no one has never said something like that to me before. I better keep at it so I don't disappoint.

///A
Dakini:
Arjun, there is something I want to confess to you.
Arjun:
W-What is it?
Dakini:
I am not really just a brigand. I used to be from a noble family.
Arjun:
Really?
Dakini:
I'm from a destroyed house, He Zain...
Arjun:
He Zain...
Dakini:
I'm only telling you this in case... I don't make it out here. If I die, I request of you to bring my remains back there. My family is buried there still... I want my body to be there too, if I fall.
Arjun:
I understand... But... Hmmm, He Zain, where have I heard that before?
Dakini:
...
Arjun:
No, I remember... I came across some documents once. It was arranged that I was going to marry someone from there... That is until Lord Raum seized power and everything... If you're a noblewoman from He Zain, does that mean you were...
Dakini:
H-Ha... ha... I guess I don't have any reason to hide that. Yeah, I'm a bit older than you, but I was going to be your wife...
Arjun:
...
Dakini:
Good thing that isn't the case anymore. Doubt you'd want someone like me.
Arjun:
N-Nonsense! I'd love to have you as my empress! W-We could still make it happen, yes? That is, if you don't mind!
Dakini:
I... Umm... Uh... Well...
Arjun:
...
Dakini:
J-Just let me think about it!
*she vanishes*
Arjun:
Dakini! Waaaiiit!!
