~Ah... it is good to be in Tethyr again, <CHARNAME>. Do you remember, back in Amn, when I expressed a desire to see it again?~

++ ~Indeed I do, Jaheira... and I said we would perhaps one day visit. It seems that fate has other things in mind for us here than simple tourism, sadly.~ THEN GOTO PC1.1
++ ~I do, and if I remember correctly I said I would prefer not to go... but here we are nonetheless.~ THEN GOTO PC1.110:46 PM 17/01/2006
++ ~I remember expressing my opinion that I certainly did not want to go anywhere near the place... and I also seem to remember you sulking about it for days, Jaheira. (grin)~ GOTO PC1.2


IF ~~ THEN BJAHEIR PC1.1
~It does feel odd to be back, however, after so many years of vagabondage. There are many memories here, not all of which are pleasant.~

++ ~I can imagine. I feel the same about Candlekeep. My memories of that place are rather bittersweet, but I suspect somewhat honeyed.~ THEN GOTO PC1.1.1
++ ~Memories serve us well, as I have said before, Jaheira. This isn't about Tethyr, though, is it, Jaheira?~ THEN GOTO PC1.1.2
++ ~Vagabondage? Your choice of terms leaves something to be desired, Jaheira. We call it 'adventuring', remember?~ THEN GOTO PC1.1.3


IF ~~ THEN BJAHEIR PC1.2
~I did not sulk, <CHARNAME>, I was simply annoyed at your ready dismissal of my homeland, as I'm sure you would have been in my position.~ THEN GOTO PC1.1


IF ~~ THEN BJAHEIR PC1.3
~Innocence is subjective, <CHARNAME>. Innocence, in my eyes, is an excuse for ignorance and folly. The Tethyrian government is admittedly 'innocent'- such unorganisation I have never seen!~

++ ~(jokingly) Heh... this, coming from the most *unorganised* person I know?~ THEN GOTO PC1.3.1
++ ~Innocence is indeed subjective... it may be ignorance, yes, but is it not also security in what you know, a comfort? I... I miss having the security Candlekeep and Gorion had, it seems.~ THEN GOTO PC1.1.2
++ ~What is this truly about? It isn't truly Tethyr, by the sounds of it. It seems to me you seem to be displaying human emotion, something I haven't really come to expect from you, Jaheira! *(grin)~ THEN GOTO PC1.3.2


IF ~~ THEN BJAHEIR PC1.3.1
~You do have a point, <CHARNAME>. Security is innocence, in more than one way.~ THEN GOTO PC1.1.2

IF ~~ THEN BJAHEIR PC1.3.2
~So, I am a pillar of infallibility now, am I? Despite what you may think, <CHARNAME>, I do have human emotions. It seems to me, though, that it is your perception of my emotions which is awry. (She smiles slightly)~

++ ~So what is this truly about, Jaheira? It is not Tethyr, certainly.~ THEN GOTO PC1.1.2.1
++ ~And you seem to be awry in the perception of my emotions sometimes as well, Jaheira. Now that we have both neatly diverted the topic, I think we should get moving... I have such a painful cramp in my leg. Need to walk it a bit.~ THEN GOTO PC1.1.2.2

IF ~~ THEN BJAHEIR PC1.1.1
~Is it truly Candlekeep which you recall with such fondness, <CHARNAME>, or is it the innocence you had as you grew up with Imoen and Gorion?~

++ ~Perceptive as always, Jaheira. You are right, of course... the loss of one's innocence is not to be taken lightly. I suppose I am thinking more about the difference between having your innocence forcibly stripped from you, and making the decision to lose your innocence.~ THEN GOTO PC1.3
++ ~And this is not truly about Tethyr, is it?~ THEN GOTO PC1.1.2
++ ~I grew up there, and was then was forced to leave by forces noone had control over. I had many friends in Candlekeep, not just Imoen, and I was treated well. But, all good things must end sometime, I suppose.~ THEN GOTO PC1.3


IF ~~ THEN BJAHEIR PC1.1.2
~It seems we both have our ways of concealing what we are really trying to say. I am glad we're getting better at understanding each other, <CHARNAME>- it is somewhat comforting to have someone you can truly rely on, and trust.~ 

++ ~Thankyou, Jaheira. I too find it comforting to know I have your cousel, and friendship. But you did not answer my question.~ THEN GOTO PC1.1.2.1
++ ~I'm glad I'm appreciated by someone in this dog and pony show, heh.~ THEN GOTO PC1.1.2.1
++ ~Yes, yes. Please, can we continue this another time? I have a most terrible cramp in my leg, and need to walk it out.~ THEN GOTO PC1.1.2.2
++ ~I thought you were moving forward, Jaheira? Why now, of all times, to reminisce?~ THEN GOTO PC1.1.2.3


IF ~~ THEN BJAHEIR PC1.1.2.1
~There are some things better left forgotten, <CHARNAME>.~ THEN EXIT


IF ~~ THEN BJAHEIR PC1.1.2.2
~I would advise massaging your calf, as well... it may help with the pain. Another time, perhaps.~ THEN EXIT


IF ~~ THEN BJAHEIR PC1.1.2.3
~It has been long since I have been in Tethyr, <CHARNAME>, and it simply brought some memories to the surface which should perhaps stay forgotten. We must get moving.~ THEN EXIT
