Editing slightly to make it easier to read (typos and whatnot). Sorry this took me so long… enjoy! :D

*Following San d’Oria Mission 1-3, meeting in a some of the dark corners of the castle in the early morning…*

Lotrulien stares at Kjara…
(Kjara) You arrived at last.
(Lotrulien) *Yawns* Well yes… it is earlier than I would normally get up.
(Kjara) I'm sorry for calling you here at such a late hour. I just had trouble trying to find you outside of the cathedral…
(Lotrulien) Do not worry. What is troubling you?
(Kjara) There's something I have to ask about and… it isn’t not something other friars should hear.
(Lotrulien) It seems urgent.
(Kjara) Or any other San d'Orian for that matter.
(Lotrulien) . . .
(Kjara) Tell me, have you met an Elvaan man named Rochefogne lately?
Lotrulien looks away from Kjara, lost in thought.
(Kjara) Black haired… blue eyes.. not much older than me.
(Lotrulien) The name sounds familiar…
(Lotrulien) I can't remember where I heard it though.
(Kjara) I'm guessing he might have been in the cathedral for his investigations too…
(Kjara) You see.. he was inquiring about.. the late Queen's death.
(Lotrulien) Queen Leaute!?
Kjara nods to Lotrulien.
(Kjara) The very same subject that forced me to flee from this country about a year ago.
(Lotrulien) But in all of Vana'diel why?
(Kjara) I don't know, and I want to find out.
(Kjara) However… while I was looking to tell you about this, I witnessed something else..
(Lotrulien) Something else?
(Kjara) Very strange and.. I don't know. It makes me worried.
(Lotrulien) Do tell me, my friend.
(Kjara) I guess you heard about the young friar that has been kidnapped by the Orcs yesterday.
(Lotrulien) Ah yes, Tedimout….
(Kjara) The adventurers that I met in the other nations, as well as myself, went to the rescue.
Lotrulien nods to Kjara.
(Lotrulien) Yes, those friends of yours.
(Kjara) Afterwards…. I saw the Papsue..
(Lotrulien) The Papsque!
(Kjara) I… randomly approached his chambers after the children was saved.
Lotrulien stares at Kjara, confused.
(Lotrulien) Randomly approached?
(Lotrulien) But why?
(Kjara) He seemed rather…
Kjara seems lost in thought.
(Kjara) Disappointed.
(Kjara) I was looking for you, and clearly heard him cursing at my companions for rescuing the children.
Lotrulien shakes his head at Kjara.
(Kjara) He was opposing to send troops to the Outpost in the first place. Prince Trion had to take position on his own to come..
(Kjara) His brother is totally under the Papsque’s control I would say..
(Lotrulien) The Papsque would be nothing but pleased to hear of the return of the child, Kjara…
(Kjara) I think there's something wrong with that person.. and I want to find out what.
(Kjara) And I tell you.. he wasn't.
(Kjara) Maybe he's plotting with the Orcs..
Lotrulien looks at Kjara, shocked!
Kjara seems lost in thought.
(Lotrulien) You would do well to watch your tongue with that talk…
(Kjara) I know.. this is why I wanted to meet you here.
(Lotrulien) The Papsque is a holy man, a follower of Altana.
(Kjara) I need a favor, Lotrulien.
(Lotrulien) A favor?
(Kjara) I would like you to give a word with the people in the Chateau and tell them to allow my return in the ranks under the
(Kjara) Allegiance of ï'San d'Oriaï(.
(Kjara) I need to get back in that place to find out more.
Lotrulien looks away from Kjara, lost in thought.
(Kjara) But with the bad reputation I have as of now I can't. They would drag me to ï'Bostaunieux Oublietteï(…
(Lotrulien) But Kjara…
(Kjara) I realize.. this could put you in troubles.
(Lotrulien) You truly can't expect me to get you access to ï'Chateau d'Oraguilleï( to spy and cause trouble, do you?
(Kjara) I.. need to know.
(Lotrulien) This is a good country, Kjara.
(Lotrulien) But like all good countries, it is far from perfect.
(Kjara) But… this could lead me to the truth.
(Kjara) If the Queen and the Papsque are involved… I would bet my spear that the Dragon King is too!
(Kjara) There could be a chance I finally remove the curse that inflicts Azure.
(Lotrulien) . . .
(Lotrulien) I would only help you in this case if you would use whatever you learned for the better of ï'San d'Oriaï(.
(Kjara) What did ï'San d'Oriaï( do for me…
(Kjara) Our rulers are a bunch of liars…
(Lotrulien) . . .
(Kjara) My wyvern is cursed… and I'm a Dragoon, Lotrulien.
(Kjara) Without Azure, what could I be?
(Lotrulien) . . .
(Lotrulien) I want your promise that you will not use what you find against this nation, Kjara.
(Lotrulien) And, if possible, to use your information for the betterment of ï'San d'Oriaï(.
(Kjara) Do you think I would…?
(Lotrulien) You just said you don't believe you owe anything to ï'San d'Oriaï(….
(Kjara) Maybe being apart for this long time made your consideration of me change.. just like everyone's.
(Lotrulien) Not at all.
(Lotrulien) But think about what you are asking me to do.
(Lotrulien) And I want to help Azure too.
(Kjara) I'm asking you to trust me over your teachings, I know.
(Lotrulien) I'm merely asking that you don't go digging up information that you don't have to.
(Kjara) Sometimes I still wonder if it was a good thing for me to be still alive.
Lotrulien sighs dejectedly.
(Kjara) Why did you rescue me that day in ï'Crawlers' Nestï( when Demonic Tiphia poisoned me by stinging my eye?
(Lotrulien) I don't doubt or regret the efforts I made for you on that day, not once.
(Lotrulien) And I helped you, because you were a fellow in need.
(Kjara) Heh… I was a mercenary with a dirt reputation.
(Lotrulien) Sometimes
(Lotrulien) An individual's reputation is wrongly given.
(Lotrulien) Whether it is a good reputation, or a negative one.
(Kjara) Are you saying half of Vana'diel is wrong to say I'm an heartless spy that steals people secrets for her own gain?
(Kjara) This is the only way I have to live.
(Lotrulien) I believe there is more to you than just what the people on the streets say.
(Lotrulien) That much, I learned when healing you.
(Lotrulien) I love my country, Kjara, and consider you a close friend. I would like to see both prosper. That is all.
(Kjara) By listening to the confessions of a mere warrior thinking she was about to die poisoned..?
Lotrulien nods to Kjara.
(Kjara) I wasn't showing any good qualities. I was just afraid of death and wanted to feel in peace with Altana before my last breath.
(Kjara) But what happened after that? Nothing different.
(Kjara) I kept on my criminal path for gain, and eventually became a Dragoon.
(Kjara) And now, I'm using the same path to remove a curse.
(Lotrulien) Perhaps nothing different, yet.
(Kjara) …
(Kjara) I need to access to that castle.
Lotrulien stares at Kjara…
(Lotrulien) I want your word.
(Lotrulien) You have yet to give it to me.
(Kjara) *rolls eyes*
(Kjara) My word is worthless.
(Lotrulien) Even to the man who saved your life?
Kjara looks at Lotrulien and sighs dejectedly.
(Kjara) Fine…
(Kjara) I promise I won't use the informations to hurt ï'San d'Oriaï(.
Lotrulien nods to Kjara.
(Kjara) And I have no clue how I could use this place's dirty secrets to make it better.
(Kjara) Look at me. They sure didn't help to make myself a better person.
(Lotrulien) Good. Because surely you know the punishment I would face…
(Kjara) I won't allow that…
(Kjara) I never did, right?
Lotrulien shakes his head at Kjara.
(Kjara) You need to stay alive and keep casting those nice spells to the people in need.
(Kjara) Like those two hume orphans. (Note from Avina: pretty sure she means Kenjii and Zenji)
(Lotrulien) I am just reminding you what I am risking for you, so that when you are in the Chateau, you are aware.
Kjara nods.
(Kjara) I'll behave.
Lotrulien nods to Kjara.
(Lotrulien) Good
Kjara looks away from Lotrulien, lost in thought.
(Kjara) Now I need to go talk to Zenji about the news.
(Lotrulien) I'm counting on you
(Kjara) Oh, right.
(Kjara) Watch your back if you go outside.
Kjara grins roguishly at Lotrulien.
Lotrulien stares at Kjara, confused.
(Lotrulien) What for?
(Kjara) It looks like the Shadow Lord is coming back!
Kjara waves goodbye to Lotrulien.
(Kjara) Don't tell anyone! ï'secretï(!
Lotrulien looks at Kjara, shocked!
(Lotrulien) That's not funny…
