Alva:
I do not need the help of a priest. Go bother someone else, would you?
Arthur:
I'm not a priest. And Last time I checked, you weren't the one in charge. Maybe you should shut your mouth and do your job.
Alva:
Hmph! Priest or no, you're certainly a mouthy one.
Arthur:
And you're a jackass if I ever did see one.
Alva:
Buh...!? My word! How dare you talk to me that way! Don't you know who I am!?
Arthur:
A scumbag Orion threw his lot in with. I don't know what is the matter with that boy.
Alva:
I'm no scumbag! I'm true Deimosian royalty!
Arthur:
If you're the finest noble Deimos has to offer, there is a problem. I know who and what you are, Alva. Or maybe I should call you "Dirty Alva."
Alva:
You know much for some old man... Who are you anyway?
Arthur:
I'm Ernterre's former knight commander.
Alva:
... Former... That would make you Arthur the Eagle!?
Arthur:
We've never met before, but you certainly know me. I wonder why that is?
Alva:
O-Oh, look, the enemy! I suppose I will need your help after all, my good man!
Arthur:
...

Alva:
You again!
Arthur:
[Tact] has a sharp mind pairing us up like this. Then again, your very presence implies ill will. It's no wonder those other imperial lords hate you.
Alva:
Those fools hate me because they cannot see the truth. Raum and his ilk have no right to the throne.
Arthur:
As if you're any different? You only have the power you have through treachery. You were barely even a lord originally. You used to be a man of the church, if I remember right.
Alva:
Tch...
Arthur:
A bastard son of a noble left for the church... But you discovered who you were and suddenly, your family began to disappear... Then there you were, the only one left to inherit your house.
Alva:
I used my talent to get me where I am today! What right do you have to judge me!? My family was comprised as a bunch of fools. They deserved to be destroyed... Had I not taken advantage...!
Arthur:
Is that how you felt about Ernterre? I remember you trying to worm in your influence here.
Alva:
...!
Arthur:
I haven't told Orion about this because you do have your uses. Be sure to keep it up. Otherwise, I don't believe you'll be living longer.
Alva:
D-Damn you!!

///A
Alva:
Haa... Ha...
Arthur:
I'm impressed you're still around.
Alva:
If a man wants something done right, he has to do it himself.
Arthur:
Not a bad statement for walking garbage.
Alva:
Shut up... What do you know?
Arthur:
I know you seem to have changed since we joined forces. A man willing to die for ambitions deserves some respect. I'll give you that much. But I still don't trust you.
Alva:
I doubt you ever will. People will always see me as a bastard. But I'll continue on my own path, and gain everything I desire. However...
Arthur:
...
Alva:
I realize I have the talent to save Deimos... In fact, I may be the only one.
Arthur:
"Save Deimos," huh?
Hmph.
Alva:
What?
Arthur:
I wouldn't have expected such words from you. whether or not they are genuine is up in the air though. I suppose we will just have to wait and see.
Alva:
