Vito:
Huh, who are you with?
Hyle:
Me? I was hired by Orion. I was working for Deimos before I saw a better opportunity to be had here.
Vito:
So you left your comrades for the rats to join us, huh?
Hyle:
I didn't say that. Actually I switched sides when Orion was about to lose.
Vito:
What the hell kind of person are you?
Hyle:
A man who knows how to make a lot of money.
Vito:
Would you betray us now for enough money?
Hyle:
While I do like it here... Well...
Vito:
Hmm, well, okay then.
Hyle:
That's all you gotta say to that?
Vito:
Yeah. If I ever learn we have a spy or something, I'll know to kill you immediately.
Hyle:
Ha, to the point, aren't you?

///B
Hyle:
So you're part of Volund's group, huh?
Vito:
What's left of it. What's it to you?
Hyle:
Oh, I was wondering how things would have turned out if I was there. Could have saved some lives... It's a debt making opportunity.
Vito:
Why you!? Don't make light of the death of my friends!
Hyle:
...
Vito:
No one could have stopped it. Not a regular man, anyway... Half my friends were swallowed up by the earth instantly. The rest... killed off my that woman and Maximillian's goons.
Hyle:
Yeesh... Sorry to hear that.
Vito:
Don't try to save face now. All it does it make you look like a jackass.
Hyle:
No, I just... Well, I had you completely wrong.
Vito:
Huh?
Hyle:
Looking at how you fight and your aggression, I thought you were quite the beast. But from how you talk about your old comrades, looks like you cared about 'em a lot, huh?
Vito:
They were family to me.
Hyle:
Hmm, I see. Well, I know better than to trample on the memory of family. I'm a bastard, but even I know when to ease off. Sorry for bothering you.
Vito:
...

///A
Vito:
Hey, what about you?
Hyle:
What about me?
Vito:
I thought you were a heartless man. But even you have some principles. Do you have anyone you call family?
Hyle:
Just my mom and pop. But they've been dead for a long time.
Vito:
What happened to them?
Hyle:
Both caught a nasty sickness. Nothing anyone could do... I started this line of work as a way to earn gold for them. For a time, I can say they lived well. Then when they got sick... No money in the world could help.
Vito:
...
Hyle:
Worst feeling in the world... When someone you love is gonna die from something awful, and you can't do anything about it. Especially when you believed you had all the power in the world.
Vito:
Hyle...
Hyle:
Hey, don't go soft on me. Even back then I was doing dirty deeds. I just don't have an excuse now, heh...
Vito:
Just don't backstab us and you'll be alright.
Hyle:
Ah, no worries. I... don't think I'd have the heart to at this point.
