volke + soren fake support
C-rank
Soren: Volke. Now I finally catch you.
Volke: … yes. (Now that I let you…) What do you want?
Soren: (…) You pulled back ahead of schedule in the last battle. It caused a problem, don't do it again.
Volke: My contract isn't with you, except for lockpicking…
Soren: I'm aware. But if you're going to be on the field, you need to listen, or else don't be in the way.
Volke: …
Volke: Five thousand.
Soren: Excuse me?
Volke: That's the cost for me to listen to you. I don't normally take side jobs.
Soren: !!
Soren: That's ridiculous! Are you with us, or–
Volke: …
Volke: (leaves)
Soren: … that man! Augh… Fine. I'll plan around him.
B-rank
Volke: … orders?
Soren: … Ugh. Don't try to sneak up on people like that.
Soren: Don't worry about it. I'm not planning for you.
Volke: …
Volke: Eh? You were rather adamant.
Soren: You're serving your own interests. I don't want to have anyone relying on that.
Volke: …
Volke: Ike relies on you, and he's paying me. I'll listen, so long as I think it's an order that won't have me dead in a stupid way.
Soren: …I don't take this lightly. For Ike and everyone else's safety in all of this… you should be sure you mean it.
Volke: I do. So, give me your direction.
Soren: Hmph…
Volke: I'm serious. I'm a man of my word.
Soren: Fine, at our next engagement, I'll have something for you.
Volke: I'll wait for it.
Volke: (leaves)
Soren: …
A-rank:
Volke: … back then, in that battle, I pulled back because I slipped up.
Soren: …
Soren: You could say something to let someone know you're there.
Volke: You seem to know. You're very perceptive, eh?
Soren: I need to be. Now, what… that long ago? It's over with.
Volke: I would have been a fool to stay and weigh everyone down and risk myself as well.
Soren: …
Soren: I didn't notice your injuries… That… I'm sorry.
Volke: Don't. Of course you didn't. I can't have people knowing things like that.
Soren: Though… You needed to fall back regardless. It wasn't advantageous to have you continue there when the enemy reinforcements showed up. …I wanted more of your time beforehand, but it worked out.
Volke: … … …
Soren: I… was afraid of what could happen…
Volke: (coughs)
Volke: I'll listen for your orders.
Soren: I–
Volke: I don't want anything to happen to Ike either.
Soren: … Good. All right …Thank you.
Volke: You know how to reach me, next time.
Volke: (leaves)
