D'aijeen Thalen collapsed to her knees immediately in front of K'airos, suddenly crying uncontrollably, and wailed, "I don't know why someone would do this!"
K'airos Thalen seemed to have gotten hold of a bottle of something indefinite, probably some kind of wine. She stared blankly at the floor, her eyes wet.
D'aijeen Thalen lifted her head, turning to Airos, and reached out to pull on the woman's hands. "She was a liar! She was a liar! She admitted it all after you left! She was so cruel!"
K'airos Thalen grimaced. "What happened?"
D'aijeen Thalen cried while shaking K'airos' hands in her own. "She admitted it! She said she was trying to deceive you! That she wanted to use you to rob the Blades! She said she'd come back and talk to you again when I was gone and that you'd believe her and betray me!"
K'airos Thalen shook her head. "No. I mean to me. What happened to me? I didn't want to leave. But I left anyway...it doesn't feel right."
Panting from her tears, D'aijeen shook her head, "What? Airos, you won't betray me, will you? You won't believe her and leave me! I love you. Don't leave me."
" I don't want to leave you! I wasn't going to. She's...I thought she w-...she's...she was..." K'airos Thalen shook her head again and took a sip from her confiscated bottle. "If it was mom, then why can't we..."
"It's not! She's a liar! Believe me, K'airos! She's going to try to deceive you again! She heckled me! She said you would choose her over me. I'm scared, Airos!"
"How did you know she wasn't her?"
"Because mom is dead. I'm sorry, Airos, but she is! I wish she wasn't. I wish so much, for your sake. But she is.
K'airos Thalen looked away. "Couldn't you be mistaken? She was so like her!"
D'aijeen Thalen shook her head, "No, Airos. She admitted it. She told what she wanted! Don't you believe me? Don't you trust me?"
K'airos Thalen frowned at D'aijeen and stated with a severe tone. "You hated our mother when you were in the tribe. And you showed me you still hate her when D'hein showed up with that...paper...thing...the something's Lantern."
"I desire it for your sake, then!"
"That doesn't make sense!"
D'aijeen Thalen steped forward and pulled on K'airos hands, her face streaked with tears, "It does! I love you immensely and desire anything at all to make you happy, but this liar and her false hope will not! You must believe me. You must!"
K'airos Thalen let her hands be pulled, and after a brief moment of conflicted emotions she turned around, giving her back to D'aijeen. "I need to think! I'm sorry."
"Airos!" D'aijeen Thalen pulled her hands back to her chest, devastated, "No! Listen! You... Trust me, Airos!"
"I trust you, but...not in this. I'll see you back home."
K'airos Thalen picked up her scimitar and shield.
"You... can't! I'm not going to go home!"
D'aijeen Thalen stood stubbornly, "If you don't trust me then I'll just go to Ul'dah and visit D'ahl!"
K'airos Thalen turned around and smiled weakly. "Tell her hi from me, then." She then turned around and keapt walking towards the exit.
D'aijeen Thalen shivered a little bit, "... but... But you..."
