Dialogue

Urrgh... Aaaaaaaaah! The black mana has vanished! Princess Veronica! Are you well?! Don't... What? Don't touch me. I won't take an Askran hand. Your memories have returned, then. I won't forgive this! Goodness, Veronica! Such harshness is MOST unbecoming for one of your stature. I will never forgive you for what you made me do. I'll rip you apart by the limbs. After all the work I did to restore your memories? My, how ungrateful! I'll thank you for it by taking you apart. Tee hee hee! Oh, Veronica... It's good to have you back. And with that, I'll be going. Let's play again sometime, sweeties! Hold. You would leave without Veronica? Was she not your objective? What is your scheme for this world, Loki?! What is your ultimate goal?! My goal is the same here as everywhere: Chaos! Disorder! Delicious confusion! Oh, but it's EVER so much fun! And things are only going to get MORE delicious in this world from here on out. Just you wait. We'll not let you speak of chaos and then stand idly by as you escape! Yeah, we're gonna take you out, and then we'll deal with that fop Harle! Oh? Are you sure you have time to worry about us? You ARE plotting something! I knew it! That's hardly worthy of an exclamation. Of COURSE I'm plotting something; there's nothing I love better! Oooo, how delightful! I ALSO enjoy an occasional scheme or three. I'm gettin' a headache just listenin' to the two of ya jabber. Time to kick yer butts and be done with this for good! Rather than worry about "kicking my butt," I suggest you turn your attention to those poor, pitiable townspeople. After all, their village presently lacks a heroic swordsman to defend it. You cannot mean... The town... Princess Veronica? Where are you... Wait, are you going to save the town?! It's too dangerous to go alone! Wait for me! I don't need you. Why?! Askr is my enemy. You would cling to such ideals NOW?! Princess Veronica, while it may be true that we are enemies, perhaps it would behoove us to consider this world as a kind of...neutral ground. Neither Askr nor Embla exist here, after all. ...... I would like to improve our bond if you don't find the notion offensive. I do not. I'm glad to hear it. Henceforth, let us work together, Princess Veronica. Thank you. And be assured that if ever you find yourself in peril, I WILL aid you. Such a strange stance for an enemy of mine to take. You may not remember this, but you and I share an entwined existence, like two sides of the same coin. As such, I could never abandon you to the whims of fate. Fine. I won't kill you until we go back home. If you wish to come with me, I won't stop you. Thank you, Princess Veronica. All right, let's get rolling. We've got a town to protect!
