Kathe:
...
Maya:
...
Kathe:
You are much more well-behaved compared to the Unspoken One's other minions.
Maya:
Are you comparing me to the monsters?
Kathe:
Yes... Your form is different, but your stench is the same.
Maya:
Do you intend to kill me?
Kathe:
My master has agreed that we are allies for the moment. Until that agreement is over, you shall not be impaled.
Maya:
Understood. I've been instructed in the same way.

///B
Maya:
Attention, Kathe. I have a question.
Kathe:
...
Maya:
Are you a construct like me?
Kathe:
No...
Maya:
You have dark hair with very light skin. And you do not exhibit much emotion. The similarities to myself are intriguing to me.
Kathe:
I am nothing like you. I am a human.
Maya:
Yes, I see. You are much more emotive than I am.
Kathe:
Still... It is strange how uncanny you are. No one would guess you were an artificial being. What sort of demonic power does the Unspoken One have...?
Maya:
Any magician can replicate the process of my creation. My master was simply the first to find the way to do it. And, to my knowledge, this Maximillian is the second. Although, he followed my master's instructions to do it.
Kathe:
From the Sanguine Codex, yes... That must be recovered...
Maya:
Indeed.

///A
Maya:
Attention, Kathe. I have a question.
Kathe:
...
Maya:
You are annoyed. That is reassuring.
Kathe:
What do you want?
Maya:
Do you believe I could be like you one day?
Kathe:
What are you talking about?
Maya:
I have been told that you weren't as emotional when this war started.
Kathe:
... I suppose so... Seeing the world has been... an experience.
Maya:
I am curious if I can become like you.
Kathe:
You will never be like me, puppet.
Maya:
I am not so sure about that. My short time with you all has made me feel things. I realize once Maximillian is dead, we will be enemies.
Kathe:
Yes.
Maya:
I feel... sad about that.
Kathe:
...
Maya:
I have learned so much from all of you in this short time. You all have contributed to my growth, as my master designed. It would be very sad if I was ordered to fight you. Perhaps once I could defy my master... Convince him to cease hostilities, if only for a while...
Kathe:
...
Maya:
You have nothing to say on the matter? Very well. Either way, I would prefer not to face you in battle. I believe I like you quite a great deal. I would be sad if I were to fight someone that reminds me of myself.
*she vanishes*
Kathe:
That monster is nothing but a fraud, an abomination... Yet... Hmm... Can I consider it evil if it defies its creator? ...
