Dialogue

• Timotheos: Kassandra! There you are.

She approached him.

• Kassandra: Am I interrupting?
• Timotheos: This is where I used to practice sparring with my father. After he retired to the fishing business, he lost interest. But I Kept up the practice on my own.

Flirt - You shouldn't train alone.Training alone isn't a challenge.

• Kassandra: Doesn't training on your own get lonely?

• Kassandra: Sparring without a partner isn't a real challenge.

• Timotheos: Are you trying to goad me into a sparring match, mercenary?
• Kassandra: I might be interested in some friendly competition.
• Timotheos: I... don't think that's a good idea.
• Kassandra: Are you scared, Athenian?
• Timotheos: I just... Fine. Let's spar.

(If players choose "Let's start.")

• Kassandra: Let's see what you've got.

During the fight, Timotheos got in a few punches.

• Kassandra: That all you've got?
• Timotheos: Ha! I'm just getting started.

Timotheos was taunting Kassandra.

• Timotheos: Come on, mercenary! Keep up!
• Kassandra: Please! You're the one slowing down.

Kassandra was able to land some punches.

• Timotheos: Filthy Spartans!
• Kassandra: Timotheos, are you OK?

Timotheos was forced to his knee.

• Kassandra: You fought well, Athenian. Timotheos?

Timotheos quickly charged her.

• Kassandra: Timotheos, what are you doing?
• Timotheos: I - No. Stop. Stop.

He grabbed his head.

• Timotheos: No! No! Stay back! Get away from me!

I'll stay back. (calming)Let me help. (aggravating)

• Kassandra: I'll stay back. I promise.
• Timotheos: I - don't know what I'll do if you get too close.

• Kassandra: I'm not going to hurt you. Let me -
• Timotheos: Don't you get it? I might hurt you if you don't stay away!

• Kassandra: You're not going to hurt me, Timotheos.
• Timotheos: You don't... you don't know that. I don't know if I could stop myself right now.

You couldn't hurt me. (aggravating)You won't hurt me. (calming)

• Kassandra: Even if you did try to hurt me, I'm more than capable of fending you off.
• Timotheos: That's not... You're underestimating waht I'll do when this happens.

• Kassandra: I know you're stronger than whatever this is.
• Timotheos: When I get like this... If I lose control for even a second, the terrible things I see myself doing...

• Kassandra: Timotheos...
• Timotheos: No, no, no. Stop. Stop!

Breathe. (calming)Control yourself. (aggravating)

• Kassandra: Just breathe.
• Timotheos: I'm OK. I'm OK. Thank you.

• Kassandra: Just calm down.
• Timotheos: Like it's that fucking easy!

• Kassandra: You're safe, Timotheos. I promise.

(If Kassandra was not able to calm Timotheos down)

• Timotheos: I need to be alone right now. I - I'm sorry.

Timotheos left a puzzled Kassandra behind.

(If Kassandra was able to calm Timotheos down)

• Timotheos: I feel... better. Thank you. Would you mind... staying with me for a moment?
• Kassandra: Whatever you need.

After a while, they sat and watched the sunset.

• Timotheos: Father handled coming back from the war so much better than I did.
• Timotheos: Any loud noise or unexpected hand on my shoulder, and my heart bursts from my chest. But he never flinched.
• Kassandra: Did you tell him?
• Timotheos: I couldn't bear to tell father the reason I was discharged, let alone this. I wanted to make him proud.
• Kassandra: Why were you discharged?
• Timotheos: I... lost control in a battle and killed one of my comrades. My commander and I were close, so he discharged me with mania instead of charging me with treason. When I returned from the war, father never asked why. I don't know if he suspected or...
• Kassandra: Maybe he was hiding his struggles the way you hid yours.
• Timotheos: If that's true, he was strong enough to hide it from everyone. I'm too weak to even hide it from you.

You're a survivor.Flirt-You're strong.Everyone carries scars.

• Kassandra: Pain doesn't make you weak. Timotheos. You're a survivor.
• Timotheos: When the battle hasn't been won, is there really honor in coming back alive?

She stood up, and lowered her hand to him.

• Kassandra: It's going to be alright, Timotheos.

He took her hand, and stood up. Joining her in watching the sunset.

• Timotheos: For the first time, I think it might be.

• Kassandra: Timotheos, you're a strong person. Anyone can see that.
• Timotheos: You think i'm strong?

You're tough.Stop fishing for compliments.You care about people.

• Kassandra: You know you're tough
• Timotheos: Still nice to hear you say it.

• Kassandra: Maybe if you stopped brooding for a second, you'd see it, too.
• Timotheos: My father just died.
• Kassandra: I... You're right. Sorry
• Timotheos: It's... fine.

• Kassandra: Anyone who cares for people the way you do is strong, Timotheos.
• Timotheos: You think i'm caring.
• Kassandra: Of course. You care for Lykinos... and others.
• Timotheos: Others?

She stood up, and lowered her hand to him.

• Kassandra: You're going to be all right, Timotheos.

He took her hand, and stood up.

• Timotheos: Thank you. And... under normal circumstances, I would never tell you to stay away from me.

Flirt - Let's get closer.Let's stay where we are.
