"How ever, Doriana. I'm confused. Why were we having this conversation. You don't seem to see eye-to-eye with myself at most times. Have you got a sudden gain of interrest? Perhapse it is YOU who hungers for more power, more strength, yes?"
"One could say that, yes. But not now, I'm trying to focus..."
"Oh, really? Because I've already found the breach. Are you sure you're focussing on the airships above?"
"..."
"Or is it something else? Is it someone else?"
"..."
"Oh, I'm terribly sorry. Did I strike a nerve?"
"Hold your tongue, Valimore, or loose it."
"What? I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch that?"
"Shut up..."
"And do YOU intend to do so if I don't?"
"I'm warning you, Valimore, shut your mouth..."
"Such anger... what a problem with you, Doriana. You may want to see somebody to get that fixed."
"Valimore, shut up!"
"I'm afraid I can't do that. There's something that still drives me to ask you a few questions of my own."
"What? If you'll stop bothering me, then do it."
"Very well. What is it about Constantine that would drive you to ask questions about him, and at me, of all people?"
"..."
"I'm sorry, what?"
"..."
"Strike another nerve, did I? There are ways to overcome this, you know. Techniques that can be used to shut out all life around you, mostly to just ignore those that anger you."
"And what about it!? You're saying you'd teach me? Bah! Don't make me laugh!"
"Yes, I can teach you."
"... what... did you say...?"
"I said I can teach you all you need to know."
"Why?"
"Why, you ask? Because I am in need of more minnions like yourself. You know, when you didn't quite like me before, you do recall that you killed almost all of them?"
"Heh... those were the days..."
"Yes, but I'm talking about now. Join me, follow your true path! It is your greater calling!"
"... I... don't want... to leave Constantine behind..."
"It's either your friends, or yourself. Pick one."
"......"
"Still, more silence? Perhapse I should pick for you, hmm?"
"I'll go..."
"Good. Follow me." Valimore and Dori walked away from Tjedon and to the caves, headed for the northern region..."
