Cinque's the only person in this game who's never abandoned me.
[So she sounds a bit sharp about the idea of losing her, but sighs in frustration and moves past it.]
But I guess, for someone like me, having more than one follower at a time is just too much to ask for. Of course I'd accept you. I'm not the kind of person who just, like, rejects people.
Pity followers. Unless someone else wants me, I don't expect my second follower to stay. They never even came to speak to me, themselves.
[She runs a finger carefully down the side of her spiked plant.]
You don't need to thank me. I'm the one who should be thanking you, even if you don't intend to stay. At least you've listened to me, and believe in the things that I say.
I get it, you know. Why everyone's always telling me they're too worried about someone else to worry about me. I just don't get why I don't have anyone like that. Love, Sincerity, Beauty, Justice, Piety...they've all had someone who's been loyal to them since the beginning. I just haven't...ever felt safe, or wanted.

I tried to talk like this to a few people, but they just thought I was lying, I think.
It's hard for me to believe in much. But I'll believe in her, at least for you.
[She laughs.]
We're all young, you know. Nobody's going to hold that against you. I think you're a hell of a lot smarter than most of the people here, because unlike them, you have an open mind.

I think she'll come back to you. She really does like you a lot.
... I thought you'd have two this next week.
[Sieg bows his head.]
Thank you for taking me in, Disorder.

No um... I heard some gods rejected people who wanted to join them. I'm going to thank you.

[He shakes his head.]
I don't think you're lying to me. I think... it's hard to talk about things like this, and people don't lie about how they feel.

But maybe that's because I'm young.

[He thinks about it thoughtfully- yes, some of the gods are much younger than he thought they'd be.]
You think so? I have so few experiences... Even with everything that's happened, I'm grateful to meet more people.

I'll have more memories I can rely on in the future. That's for sure.
