===Banter 1===
*CONDITION: path 1, in a city
*Illyria: Imoen, do you ever get the urge to just... just walk up and take something? Like, for example, that gorgeous bracelet that fat man over there is wearing.

*Imoen: Sure - I've done it plenty of times before. (giggle) Once, back at Candlekeep, Gorion had an important visitor from Tethyr who was wearing this amazing crystal ring. 

*Imoen: Of course, I blamed it on <CHARNAME>, since <PRO_HESHE> was looking particularly guilty. I don't think <PRO_HESHE> has ever forgiven me. Really! But I made it up to <PRO_HIMHER> afterward - chocolate is the best peacemaking gift *ever*.

*Illyria: Hehe... I can just imagine it. On Evermeet, my older brother used to blame me for all sorts of things... knocking over vases, sweets going missing, mother's money-purse being significantly lighter...

*Illyria: These days I wonder where all the fun went. No, really! It seems like one day I was playing in the field with the butterflies, and the next I was here with <CHARNAME>, fighting monsters and being all retrospective. And thinking about stealing bracelets.

*Imoen: Heh, I... I know what you mean.


===Banter 2===

*Imoen: Do you regret deciding to come with <CHARNAME>, Illyria? I know I haven't - I can't believe you thought the itching powder was some kind of disease, it was hilarious! I've never seen anyone looking so panicked. It was one of the first times I've laughed that hard since...him...

*Illyria: I-I'm sorry Im, I didn't mean to...

*Imoen: It's okay... I've just been trying to forget about it, you know? Anyway, answer my question!

*Illyria: Well, no, I've never regretted deciding to travel with <CHARNAME>. If I hadn't, I wouldn't have met you, and so many others, who have helped shaped my life. Heh... thanks for spicing my life up, Imoen. I don't know where I'd be without you.

*Imoen: Aww, thats alright - you've given me some of the best laughs I've had in years. By the way... here's that bracelet you were lusting after the other day. You can keep it.

*Illyria: How'd- but you- you didn't even go over there! How'd you do that?!

*Imoen: Ah, magic. And magicians never give away their secrets! (she winks)

*Illyria: Hehe... thanks Immy. (she gets a new item in her inventory - 'Imoen's Gift')


===Banter 3===

*Illyria: ... No, please no, not itching powder again! The memory still haunts me!

*Imoen: Hehe, nope. Not itching powder. Please, like I'd use the same prank twice in a row. Jeesh.

*Illyria: Hey, what about that time you emptied the bucket of flour over the wet <CHARNAME>, Im? You said you did that at *least* 4 times.

*Imoen: Yeah, but I never said I did that at least four times in a row. I don't want <CHARNAME> to become alert enough to stop me!

*Illyria: (hugs Imoen) Im, you rock so much, did you know that? I don't know what I'd do without you!

*Imoen:  Uh...I love you too?

*Illyria: And don't you forget it!

*Imoen: Heh...

===Banter 4===

*Illyria: Imoen!

*Imoen: Whaat?

*Illyria: Stop it!

*Imoen: Stop what? (grin)

*Illyria: THAT! Stop it!

*Imoen: (grins wider) Stop what, Lyr?

*Illyria: That! Pleeease!

*Imoen: Oh... you mean, this?

*Illyria: Pleease, come on, Im, stop, its just getting annoying now.

*Imoen: Trust *yoou* to spoil my fun, just when I was starting to enjoy it!

*Illyria: Well, yes. Especially when you're poking me incessently with a stick.

*Imoen: Well... I suppose there *is* that, isn't there? 

*Illyria: You're impossible, Im, you really are...

===Banter 5===

*Illyria: Imoen, you know... I'm here if you need to talk. I- I can see you need to. I mean, having your soul ripped from your body... and finding out.. I envy your strength.

*Imoen: Thanks, I... I suppose. It's been hard, with Irenicus, and then Bodhi... I really appreciate the offer, Illyria.

*Illyria: It's fine, Im. When I first found out about L'Sirr, I desperately needed someone to talk to.

*Illyria: I found that someone in <CHARNAME>. I... I hope I can help you like <PRO_HESHE> helped me.

*Imoen: Heh... <CHARNAME> always was good to talk to. Illyria, I'm glad you're here. Thankyou.

*Illyria: As I said before, its fine. I'm glad you're here too, you know Im.

===Banter 6===

*Imoen: Lyr, you... you said I could talk to you, right?

*Illyria: Of course you can, Im... is something up?

*Imoen: The sky, of course, dummy... and that bird.

*Imoen: But... thats not what I wanted to ask you about, Lyr. 

*Imoen: Am I... do I seem okay? I... I feel wrong, inside, and it, it hurts! My dreams are.. my dreams are haunted, no longer dreams, but nightmares... Everything seems darker than before. 

*Imoen: I'm not... I'm not bad, or, wrong, or... or hateful...

*Imoen: A-am I?

*Illyria: Im... you're beautiful. There is NOTHING wrong with you, nothing! You're smart, and- and funny, and everything I wish *I* was. You're Imoen, the woman who suffered so much at the hands of an evil mage but made it out alive, against all the odds! How can you say you're wrong, or bad, or *hateful*?

*Illyria: L'Sirr and I both love you, Im, and nothing is going to change that, even if you are a Bhaalspawn, and an evil vampiress has your soul... it'll be okay. It will. I promise. 

*Illyria: We'll get your soul back, Im, if its the last thing we do...  (She envelops Imoen into a hug, and the younger woman cries softly into Illyria's shoulder.)


===Banter 7===

*Imoen: Thankyou, Lyr... for everything. It means a lot...

*Illyria: Thank*you*, Im. You... you helped me, in more ways than I think you know. 

*Imoen: Sounds like we're even, then! (grins)

*Illyria: Yup... now... how about we go dump <CHARNAME> into a river somewhere?

*Imoen: Sounds like a plan... heh, us and our diabolical schemes to ruin <CHARNAME>'s hair...

*Illyria: Well, what else would we do? Fight dragons?

*Imoen: Uhm, Lyr, you HAVE fought dragons, so that comment has no bearing on our situation, you know. 

*Illyria: ...

*Illyria: (splutters) Well... thats entirely... thats entirely beside the point! 

*Illyria: Anyway... yes, dunking <CHARNAME> in the river... (maniacal grin)

*Imoen: So, we'll need a piece of string, and a gold coin...
