Accomplice: Hmmm... I wonder which emoji it would be.
Accomplice: Oh, I would love to make one for Vergil, actually. He seems to dislike the "cryptic little faces". It's quite adorable.

Hades: If you get good at making them, why not make a few.
Hades: Though I will admit, Absinthe would understand the humor of it while I believe Vergil would just be confused.
Hades: But that might be your goal.

Accomplice: Oh, certainly.
Accomplice: I do feel a little bad having fun at Vergil's expense when he's so clueless!
Accomplice: I'll think about what joking gift I can get for Absinthe.
Accomplice: On a more serious front, I think I would like to make something involving the ingredients used to make the drink he's named after.
Accomplice: I did have to resort to calling him Anise for a time, with people who don't know his true name and when I could not quite manage to bring his usual one to my lips.

Hades: Then give him a token for the new name you are crafting for him.
Hades: And that is kind of you. To hold his new name in secret.
Hades: I'm not sure how he feels about it truly. The name he was born with.

Accomplice: I do know he is secretive about his past. I would not reveal it to those who do not know it already.
Accomplice: But I've asked him about how he feels about it, too.
Accomplice: He said that he does see it as his own name, even if it was practically a different person who was given that name.

Hades: He's quite opened up to you.
Hades: I know the times do see difficult.
Hades: But I rather proud of both of you.

Accomplice: We did have a heart to heart of sorts today, yes. It was quite nice to speak openly.
Accomplice: Hint hint, et cetera.
Accomplice: (Worry not, I am simply teasing. Ardyn advised me to be patient with you two as well.)

Hades: Now I know I'm being unreasonable if even he is telling others to be patient.
Hades: But we will get there, my friend.
Hades: And I do thank you for your patience.

Accomplice: I do hope so.
Accomplice: Have you spoken with Lahabrea on this matter? I do sometimes feel like perhaps you are not entirely coordinated on what you tell me.

Hades: I find it highly entertaining everyone assumes we are so vastly coordinated.
Hades: We trust each other to do what we think is best.
Hades: And he wishes for me to speak with you. I doubt he will be too concerned about the subject matter.
Hades: For that is the trust we have in each other.

Accomplice: I will confess that the apparent lack of communication between all three of you is baffling and at times alarming to me.
Accomplice: Or, well, lack of cohesion, perhaps.

Hades: You make it sound as if you wish us to conspire against you.

Accomplice: Well, what I was going for is wishing for you all to talk to each other more openly, too.
Accomplice: I know your unit has a penchant for privacy, but... too much of a good thing, as they say.
Accomplice: You all seem closed off by nature, and you are further put in an environment that encourages remaining so.

Hades: Then I would recommend a history lesson.
Hades: Ask Yvette or Eichi or even Kohime what BARiTONES was like the first day I arrived.
Hades: I will not argue that I am being cagey.
Hades: But the rest have come a long way.

Accomplice: I'm afraid Kohime is the only one I have even a passing familiarity with. I've yet to meet the rest of your unit, even when I do visit your dorm.
Accomplice: It is not my intention to say you or the others haven't improved, but I do want to encourage you to keep improving.
Accomplice: And just so you know, this is the kind of meddling you will be signing up for if you do choose to stay my friend.

Hades: I suppose Yvette and Eichi have been busy with returned loved ones.

[Hades is typing....]

Hades: Sometimes I can't tell what you want from me.

Accomplice: See? You can do it!
Accomplice: But I confess to feeling the same towards you two.
Accomplice: I think we can both agree that removing yourselves from my space in order to let me be whoever I want to be isn't quite working out as intended.

Hades: Now, now.
Hades: Let's save that judgement for after you've learned what we've been hiding.

Accomplice: Ah, on that topic.
Accomplice: Please speak with Ardyn. Both you and Lahabrea, preferably.

Hades: Again. What do you actually want, Hythlodaeus?

Accomplice: Right now? Some ice cream would be nice.

Hades: Get a whole quart.
Hades: Treat yourself.

Accomplice: I will. ;)
Accomplice: But in regards to yourself and Lahabrea... It's something I've already told him yesterday.
Accomplice: Which... I assume he did not relay to you.
Accomplice: I want you to trust me, which, possibly unfortunately for you, means that I want you to be at least somewhat vulnerable with me.
Accomplice: And I did ask him whether you two would have been more open with me if I had all my memories, but he dodged the question.

Hades: I would hope my poor behavior does not reflect upon Lahabrea.
Hades: He has enough he is dealing with, and I do not wish to burden him further.
Hades: Would I not be preoccupied, I would come over now. But I will be busy for the next few days.
Hades: Some after then come with your questions. I have promised to give you answers to them.
Hades: And if that is not enough, I will show you.
Hades: I fear I will always seem reluctant until all is laid bare.

Accomplice: That was what Ardyn said too, yes.
Accomplice: And it is part of why I encourage you both to speak with him. He'll know what it is about.
Accomplice: But, Hades...
Accomplice: It is not knowledge exactly that I seek from you. Even though at first I thought I did.
Accomplice: Or, to be more precise... It is not so much knowledge I need, but emotional openness.
Accomplice: Which... does not come easily to any of you. Which is why Ardyn had to advise me to be patient.
Accomplice: He did offer his support to me too, and I have hope that it will help me stay more certain in regards to you two.
