As soon as Kota hears the sounds, the unfamiliar voice inside her head she steels herself against it, muttering near silent prayer to the Emperor. "A story? You want to know something about my life? Huh, it's not often I hear that."

She contemplates for a few moments. She could tell a lie, but she doesn't want to run that risk, especially if it means learning of things she shouldn't. When it comes to near Heretical behavior she doesn't exactly have the cleanest record, at least not as far as she's aware. As far as others know, she's odd but always faithful.

"Alright, alright, lets see. How about something that won't get me in too much trouble. I'll tell you about the first friend I've ever had in the Order. One wouldn't think it'd be difficult, I'm a bit of a people person you see, I love making friends, I love making people happy. But when you're part of the Sororitas that's not what's expected of you, you're not supposed to be... like me. I found it hard to fit in even though I knew I was meant to serve the Emperor until my life comes to an end. For the most part I was alone, I went through my training alone, ate alone, studied alone and it sucked. I hated it. Then I met her, Lucine." Kota sighs as she smiles and reaches into her armor, taking out a necklace with a locket. She doesn't open it, merely looks at it.

After a moment of calm she keeps talking. "I didn't know what to make of her at first, she was so different from me, much more deserving of being in the Sororitas, but she was the first one to not be annoyed by me, by the talking, the stories and the jokes. She was something of a favorite, famous, dependable, strong, devoted. She was easy to admire, easy to like. To this day I still don't know what she saw in me or why she stuck by me for so long, but we were almost inseparable. Even on the battlefield we could always find our way to each other. I could always sleep a little easier knowing she's got my back, and I'll always have hers. When she's there I feel... more alive, if that's even possible, I didn't know... it shouldn't be possible to feel like this, but I do."

Kota places the locket back into her armor, where it's safe.
