Greetings, Madame Eira, Halphas speaking. I must admit, I am concerned with how quickly you were willing to talk to me when the dust finally settled. My alignment is to my position, yet you were open with me once the mutual foe was no longer an issue. And the strangest thing is, even the mortal who now calls himself my son’s father has been open to my presence. Why such openness with someone who should be your enemy?
Eira: "I dunno, why did you fight alongside guardians and go toe-to-toe with an archdemon? If your answer is 'he attacked my bloodline' then you have your answer there. Your loyalty is with your family first, and that includes Macabre and Ollie. Hell clearly comes second on your priorities. You wouldn't even turn on them when being mind-controlled by an archdemon."
"Hell, you wouldn't even turn on me just because you knew I'm Macabre's friend and Ollie's mentor. When Phlegethon had me down and tried to finish me off, you were one of the people who rushed out to try and save me. It wasn't your kin Phlegethon wanted. If he got me, he'd probably leave the rest of your family alone. But I am Macabre's friend. I am Ollie's mentor. I'm a friend of your family, and you weren't going to let Phlegethon target your family's loved ones."
"That's why. You 'technically' should be an enemy since I'm friends with the Guardians and enemies with a lot of demons. But I don't really keep 'allegiances'. I'm a Champion, but only because the Champion path is already lined up with my own. I help the Guardians, but it's because both of our goals are to help protect people. If the Champions stopped caring about protecting innocent lives, or if the Guardians heaven forbid tried to keep me from helping people, I would fight them both. I care about what you as an individual do, and what you care about and what you fight for. We both care about Ollie, and as long as that's good enough for you, that's good enough for me."
