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.

Hades: Very well. I will speak to him. Both of them.
Hades: But what you ask for is very fragile indeed.
Hades: So do be careful with it.

Accomplice: I am aware, and this is where knowledge comes in.
Accomplice: Because I still do not know what it is you two want from me.
Accomplice: You tell me to be myself, but it turns out that I've hurt you before already. And with your wealth of secrets, how am I to know which topics or words or actions would be hurtful to you? Would you even tell me if I did do something that upsets or unsettles you?

Hades: You did not.
Hades: Thus there are no secret landmines from the past you need worry about.
Hades: As for what I want from you, I can't answer that.
Hades: For I have realized I do not know myself.

Accomplice: ...Did I not?
Accomplice: You seemed to imply as much the other day during the crane game...

Hades: To clarify, it was the final of our trio who did.
Hades: I was merely stating that it would be devastating if you walked in their footsteps.
Hades: I never said I was being fair or rational to you.

Accomplice: Well then, you will have to admit you have not been smart, either.
Accomplice: ...
Accomplice: I am glad that it was not myself that hurt you, at least.
Accomplice: Not that I want you to be hurt at all, but it's been weighing on me, the thought that I had done something I could not even apologize for because I did not know what it is.

Hades: Then the fault would be mine for blaming you of something you can't possibly remember.

[Not that this will stop him from blaming.]

Hades: Do you believe Ardyn feels the same way about you? Even if he knows the details.

[CAN YALL DONT?]

Accomplice: He does, I am certain.
Accomplice: But I do not blame him... at least, not anymore.
Accomplice: I did at first.
Accomplice: As I've told him, the reason for my distress was being unable to understand why a part of him would be like that.
Accomplice: And put together with the things he's alluded to about himself, and the opinions others seem to have about him... it made me question whether the kindness I'd seen from him before was true at all.
Accomplice: Two conflicting facts, with no explanation... but at least Lucifel-san was able to provide some, enough for me to be able to reach out to Ardyn again.
Accomplice: From there, it was our own work.
Accomplice: Do you worry about us?

[Deflection is the best tactic.]

Hades: Of course I do.
Hades: I care for you both.
Hades: And I think you can learn from each other.
Hades: But if I ever blame you for forgotten deeds, then you should scold me for it.

Accomplice: Worry not, I certainly will.
Accomplice: And... I think you needn't worry about me and Ardyn.
Accomplice: I hope he feels the same way. Or that he would tell me if things are otherwise.
