#the legate

Elysia: It's a little cute, in a strange way...

Dolus: For what it's worth, Ellie, I don't find this anxiety over Cara to be fun

Dolus: I'll be fine, Ellie, I just... need to clear my head...

Elysia: Before you do, could you send a servant up to my quarters? I'm growing tired of using this Ditto to help me walk.

Dolus: Two, actually. The more obvious one you might be thinking is... unpalatable for several reasons. The other one... I've only ever heard been done once, but I know it's possible. I just have to have the resolve to see it through...

[ It seems the Legate is on the move... ]

Dolus: She does not know this, and anyone else knowing would put her in far graver danger than she already is. I've done my best to keep my distance whilst still doing what I could... I couldn't... protect her, from everything... Edita concedimi pietà...

Dolus: The truth is... I've been having doubts as to my loyalty to the Augusta, whether it's as strong as I thought it was or I've simply been compelled to loyalty...

It troubles me that these doubts arose in the first place... Elysia began speaking of Cara and memories of her flashed through my mind. Things she said... Things I should've told her... But then the things I've done for Ellie... Whether she truly has my best interest in mind or not...
