Adda:
You should be more careful.
Ty:
Ah, I thought I saw a shadow out of the corner of my eye. That shadow was you! You saved me from some trouble there.
Adda:
Don't expect it to happen twice. That is why I am telling you to be careful.
Ty:
You are a righteous woman indeed! It is an honor to fight with you.
Adda:
... I'm hardly righteous.
Ty:
Modesty is a virtue as well. It appears I'm in good hands.
Adda:
... I told you. I'm not going to help you again if you're in trouble.
Ty:
Aye, I understand. As thanks, I will try to be more cautious from now on. Perhaps I will return the favor to you eventually.
Adda:
You'll have to keep up with me first.
Ty:
Haha, indeed, indeed...

Ty:
So you're an assassin... That explains your skill.
Adda:
How did you know?
Ty:
I know one when I see one. We're not so different, I suppose. I am a mercenary, after all.
Adda:
You're a mercenary? I thought you were a knight.
Ty:
A beast like me? A knight? You flatter me. I'm just a blade for hire. But I do make an attempt to be honorable. I serve Justice and Virtue at the end of the day. All I do is for the sake of making this world a better place.
Adda:
... That is...
Ty:
Foolish? ... Yes, I suppose it is. But this is the path I've chosen. I will walk it with pride.
Adda:
No, I don't think it is foolish at all...
Ty:
Really? I knew there was something special about you! Assassin you may be, but you too have a heart of Justice, don't you?
Adda:
That...

///A
Adda:
Isn't it hard? To do the things you do, I mean?
Ty:
In a world that is naturally filled with endless evil? I am overwhelmed. From the outside to my own inner self. ... I know I am but one man. I can only do so much.
Adda:
Why walk such a path then?
Ty:
What little difference I can make... Whatever degenerate I can put down, whatever smile I can protect, even whatever cat I can save from a tree. I know what ripples I make, no matter how small can make a better world.
Adda:
.........
Ty:
Ha, now I know you think I am crazy. Don't worry, most people do.
Adda:
No. I told you I don't think that is foolish or crazy... It is a beautiful and honorable outlook to have.
Ty:
You think so? Truly? That is a first...
Adda:
It must be hypocritical to admire you when I am an assassin, a killer for hire... But I've always wanted to strike out on my own. I wouldn't have to be a tool for the highest bidder to use... I could decide for myself who I want to help, who seems worthy...
Ty:
Why not do so now?
Adda:
... Do you think I could do it?
Ty:
If someone like me can do it, then surely a super assassin like you can.
Adda:
Yes... If you think I can. Then I am ready to walk this path at last...
Ty:
Let us make this world a better more virtuous place, Adda!
Adda:
For Truth, Justice, Love, and Peace!
