Orion:
You doing okay there, Chandra?
Chandra:
I'm fine.
Orion:
Are you sure? I feel guilty about how rough I treated you...
Chandra:
... Why do you care so much about my well being? It would be better if you concerned yourself with someone else. Someone from Ahribaal isn't worth your attention, Lord Orion. They don't know now, but your allies will figure out soon. And once that happens, what will they think?
Orion:
They're free to think what they want. I knew you were different from the other enemies. If they can't see you for who you are, it is there loss.
Chandra:
... You are such an idiot...
Orion:
Well, it's an idiot who saved your life. So you should be grateful.
Chandra:
... Sorry. That is true. I am grateful for you saving me. I not only still live... But I was given a chance to finally escape the damn Dark Sect... Only a fool would give this ragged little thing another chance. Still, I am forever indebted to you, Lord Orion.
Orion:
You don't have to say "Lord Orion" you know...
Chandra:
I insist. It is my way of honoring you.
Orion:
Well, if that's what you want, I won't refuse you.

Orion:
I don't understand Ahribaalites, Chandra. Are you really the sole exception? The rest all seem mad. Only poised on spreading misery and death...
Chandra:
I'm not so different. I enjoy a bit of suffering, honestly. But only to those who deserve it. I used to think your heart and mind were pure. But I can see you find pleasure in it too.
Orion:
That's... I used to think everyone deserved a chance once. Some of our opponents though... They make me sick. They're better off dead. Is it wrong to want to get rid of such scum?
Chandra:
... I can say most of my countrymen do in fact have it coming. They see the world as a terrible place. Everyone and everything deserves nothing but the worst pain imaginable.
Orion:
If the world is so awful, then way make it even worse?
Chandra:
They'd rather it all be destroyed than it to get better.
Orion:
Madness...
Chandra:
There are some of us not like that. But we're in the minority.
Orion:
Then the majority needs to be taken care of...
Chandra:
Oh, I couldn't agree more, my lord... And yet... you...
Orion:
What is it?
Chandra:
It's nothing...

///A
Chandra:
Lord Orion. Please stop.
Orion:
Stop what?
Chandra:
I am afraid of you losing yourself. Your heart has become darker.
Orion:
I'm just doing what must be done. I must kill them all... For the sake of Ernterre. For the sake of the people.
Chandra:
Lord Orion... If we fought for the first time now... would you have cut me down without a second thought?
Orion:
I...
Chandra:
I am afraid. I'm afraid of what might become of you. Make no mistake, I see these dastards as monsters needed to be slain. But I see the man I... I see you falling down a dark path. It frightens me... I hate seeing you change like that.
Orion:
...
Chandra:
I'm hardly fitting to be the one to tell you what to do. I can only beg you... Don't lose your heart fighting those without hearts.
Orion:
Chandra... I won't. The war has made me jaded. But if I've got someone like you to keep me from going too far, I think I'll be just fine.
Chandra:
Truly? I feel honored if I can be the one to keep you from falling to darkness.
Orion:
Well, it's only fitting, eh? I saved you first.
Chandra:
Oh, my lord... You're right... You can count on me, I swear it!
