== BAERIE ~Minsc, would you tell me a little of D-Dynaheir? If I am to follow in her footsteps, I should know a little about whose boots I'm filling, I think.~
== BMINSC ~Dynaheir was a... a great Witch, little Aerie, with a heart so big sometimes it threatened to render her speechless! Or perhaps that was the righteous fury... eh, either way, she was a good Witch. And Minsc and Boo failed her! Woe!~
== BMINSC ~She knew much about plants, and spells, and how to put them together, too. Boo says some of her plants were good to nibble on, even if they gave him tummy-aches post-dinner.~
== BAERIE ~Heh. So, she was a Druid, then?~
== BMINSC ~No, no, she was a Hathran! A Hathran Witch - you know, eh, girl-mage, Minsc supposes.~
== BAERIE ~(Giggle) I know what a Witch is, but I didn't know they studied herbal lore.~
== BMINSC ~Minsc is not sure about other Witches, but Dynaheir knew lots about herbs and plants. She even tried to teach Minsc and Boo how to brew a potion, once, though it just turned Dynaheir's hair purple rather than heal her.~
== BMINSC ~Dynaheir said it was a good effort, though only after her hair had changed back to its original colour.~
== BAERIE ~Thank you, Minsc. I know it's hard to bring back memories of loved ones.~
== BMINSC ~Dynaheir is not just a forgotten memory as long as Minsc and Boo live yet, little Aerie! She lives in each swing of our swords and each righteous roar!~
== BMINSC ~She was always good at scaring people away - though she did it with her face, rather than her voice. Regardless, it is the same thing.~
== BAERIE ~So she's still here, even though she's- dead? I like your way of looking at it, Minsc.~
== BMINSC ~Boo says that nobody ever truly dies, as long as there are people who remember and fight for them.~
== BAERIE ~I'll have to remember that.~

== BMINSC ~Little Aerie, what is the matter? You look upset!~
== BAERIE ~I-it's j-just my wings, Minsc... oh, I will never be able to fly again! A-and everyone tells me to stop c-crying and whining, but I c-can't help it! It hurts so much!~
== BMINSC ~(Minsc enfolds Aerie in a bear hug, holding her shaking frame in his huge arms.)~
== BMINSC ~I have never been good with such things... but Boo says that sometimes grief can help us work through things. Perhaps it is good that you are crying now, and not later.~
== BMINSC ~Though you may not have your wings, you still have Minsc and Boo, little Aerie!~
== BAERIE ~I-I'll try to remember that. (Sniffle)~
== BMINSC ~Here. You may hold Boo for a little while. He is good at calming people.~
== BAERIE ~O-oh, he's so cute! Oh, Minsc... I wish I wasn't so weak. Any other would just get up and move on, but I c-can't stop thinking about it, that I'll never see the skies again.~
== BMINSC ~But you will! See, it is right up there!~
== BAERIE ~I- I suppose. But it isn't the same. (Sigh)~
== BMINSC ~Maybe not, but you still have the memories. And that is all you need to keep going. When I am sad, I remember the good things - and remember what I have. Boo, you, <CHARNAME>, and my righteous fury. It helps.~

== BAERIE ~Minsc, what causes your battle fury?~
== BMINSC ~It is an effective warning if the villainous can see it coming even before I arrive. Imagine their sheer terror when confronted in person! Like a long, slow fall off the peaks of wretchedness, knowing that it is only a matter of time before an abrupt meeting with the enormously wide-fisted ground of virtue!~
== BMINSC ~What can unleash my mighty wrath? Well, you know, evil and such...~
== BAERIE ~Is that all? E-evil?~
== BMINSC ~Well, I was very angry when D-Dynaheir died... I used my berserker strength to get free of those cursed cages!~
== BAERIE ~S-so <CHARNAME> tells me. But why do you get so angry? Do you... do you bottle up your anger, or store it away, and then use it in battle?~
== BMINSC ~Eh, sometimes. Mostly it is just righteous fury at evil for showing its two-faced self! Minsc and Boo stand ready for evil always, and with righteous fury we prevail!~
== BAERIE ~I... I suppose. I-it is very frightening to behold, sometimes.~
== BMINSC ~Well, that is the idea. To scare evil so much that it is trembling in its booties! Though Minsc does not mean to scare little Aerie. Boo says he will try to keep Minsc from raging when you are around.~
== BAERIE ~I would appreciate that, Minsc. Thank you. (Smile)~

== BAERIE ~Minsc, I appreciate that I am your witch and that you h-have to protect me, but I can look after myself. You don't need to mother me.~
== BMINSC ~Minsc is no girl, little Aerie! He could not mother you if he tried.~
== BAERIE ~(Giggle) Still, you need not be so concerned about my safety. And even if I do get hurt, I can heal myself.~
== BMINSC ~So... you don't want Minsc to fight for you? But Minsc is good at that!~
== BAERIE ~No no, that's not it... it's just that in battle you stand right in front of me, which blocks my spells and distracts me from casting.~
== BMINSC ~So you wish me to stand - in behind you? Minsc is not sure how that would help, for that would stop *him* from attacking evil! Boo says you are ducky if that is the case.~
== BAERIE ~Not behind me- oh, don't worry about it, Minsc. (Helpless laugh.)~
= ~I'll find a way to do it which doesn't disrupt either of us.~
== BMINSC ~Woe to evil, for Minsc, Aerie and Boo will hunt you down and give you the righteous kick of goodness!~
== BAERIE ~Heh, we sure will.~

== BAERIE25 ~Minsc, what are the markings on your head? I've been meaning to ask for a while now, but something always seems to come up before I get the chance to.~
== BMINSC25 ~Many warriors of Rashemen bear such trophies, mostly as scars from battle, but not everything important happens at the end of a sword. In my journeys with Dynaheir I met many people, and one was a valiant warrior from a land with traditions like my Rashemen, if a bit more reserved.~
= ~She was well impressed with Boo and I on the battlefield, but was concerned that my fury might some day overwhelm Boo's calming influence. She had proven herself to me, so when she offered an exchange, I accepted. I am told the marking stands for balance and is well respected in her home.~
= ~I wear it proudly, just as she wears the symbol of the Ice Dragon Berserker Lodge, though not placed quite so prominently... ahh, but Boo's stare has reminded me of an oath long promised, and I will speak no more of it.~
== BAERIE25 ~Wow... I had thought perhaps it was a tattoo all Rashemi warriors obtain.~
== BMINSC25 ~Many do. I have my symbol of the Ice Dragon Berserker Lodge on my arm. See?~
== BAERIE ~It's... kind of pretty. I suppose. Looks very fierce. (Giggle)~
== BMINSC25 ~That it is, little Aerie! All the ladies back in Rasheman thought it was very fetching, as I recall! Dynaheir did not find it nearly so interesting, but she never liked tattoos.~
== BAERIE25 ~I like it.~

== BMINSC25 ~Little Aerie, would you like to come to Rasheman with Boo and I once our battles with <CHARNAME> are over? You could go and study with the Hathran, and at night feast in the Ice Dragon Berserker Lodge with Minsc and Boo, as heroes!~
== BAERIE25 ~Heh, I appreciate the offer, Minsc, but-~
== BMINSC25 ~And we would regale everyone with tales of our adventures, and people would come from all around to listen to our tales of righteous buttkicking! And there would be lots of pretty ladies for you to make friends with, Aerie, and perhaps even a hamster!~
== BAERIE25 ~I'm not really sure I would fit in with your people, Minsc.~
== BMINSC25 ~Nonsense! You would fit in perfectly with the other Witches... eh... if you put on a little facepaint, of course.~
== BAERIE ~If you're sure...~
== BMINSC ~Boo says not to be silly, for he cannot wait to journey to Rasheman and see the rolling fields!~
== BAERIE ~Maybe I will, then Minsc. If only to make you happy.~
